341: Whisper of the Devil
"You want to choose a script carefully again?"
Looking at Wen Yiyi sitting across the table, Chen Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Why did I hear that you asked Dream Maker to customize a skit?"
Wen Yiyi was irritated by Chen Yan's irrelevant remarks: "Don't you know whose company that is? I'm willing to pay for a custom skit, but they're not making money from me. What can I do?"
Wen Zhicheng asked Wen Yiyi to pick a book from the literature website rankings, and Wen Yiyi obediently went.
But Wen Yiyi couldn't finish reading those books.
She has never liked studying since she was a child, and online novels with at least one or two million words give her a headache and dizziness.
She had never experienced poverty, so she couldn't empathize with the most classic counterattack plot in online novels.
Wen Yiyi was so silent after reading this novel about a domineering CEO that it had the widest audience.
How can the domineering CEO in novels exist in real life?
In the novel, Shen Yanfang can barely be considered a young and promising CEO, but the thought of President Shen leaving his fiancée alone at the class reunion is quite disgusting.
Gu Jun is most like the CEO in the novel, a self-made tech upstart with a very unapproachable personality... But the novel describes such a domineering CEO as liking the kind and weak little white flower heroine. Wen Yiyi endured the nausea and read dozens of chapters before exiting the page in anger.
It’s fake, all fake!
Xu Yao is not a kind and weak little white flower. She just looks weak, but she is actually very strong-willed.
Even if he divorced Xu Yao, the girl who stayed with Gu Jun was the daughter of the wealthy Zheng family in Hong Kong. It was not the turn of the ordinary little white flower to take advantage of the opportunity!
Wen Yiyi failed to find a book to read and wanted to buy a few books at random on the list, but it was too late for her to act.
Before others realized the potential of the short drama market, "Zaomeng" had already acquired the adaptation rights for a number of shorts from Red Books at low prices. After "Zaomeng"'s shorts became huge hits, other companies and studios looking to produce shorts scoured the rankings on major websites, acquiring the rights to any novel suitable for short drama adaptation.
The adaptation rights for the unpopular novel are still there, but Wen Yiyi is not stupid. If no one reads the novel, will anyone watch the short drama adapted from it?
Wen Yiyi failed to find a suitable novel to adapt into a short play, and Wen Zhicheng was reluctant to continue investing money in this bottomless pit of short plays, so Wen Yiyi had no choice but to go back to the company to find Chen Yan.
"It doesn't matter who owns the company. Dream Makers has its own dramas lined up for production, so it's normal for them not to accept outside commissions."
Chen Yan spoke fairly, but Wen Yiyi was dissatisfied. "Okay, she can't see you defending Xu Yao like this, she... Forget it, just help me choose the script first."
Wen Yiyi originally wanted to talk about her meeting with Xu Yao, and wanted to say that Xu Yao might be getting back together with Gu Jun, but then she thought it was boring and held back.
What's the point of saying it? What if Chen Yan is unhappy and doesn't help her choose the script?
After Chen Yan agreed to choose the script, Wen Yiyi tentatively asked Tangtang about returning to work: "She really did live broadcast after her confinement, so why not stay at home and recuperate?"
Chen Yan smiled slightly: "Tangtang and I have confirmed that she will return to work directly after her confinement."
Tangtang has not completely rested in the past few months. She updates some videos from time to time to maintain her exposure. It is a good time to return to work after the confinement period. Fans are concerned about Tangtang's baby giving birth, and a bunch of marketing accounts are also eager to be fed.
The child has been born. Will the Jiang family recognize this child?
Jiang Zhiyan hasn't been involved in any scandals with any internet celebrities in recent months. Could it be that he has really turned over a new leaf?
Will the two of them get married for the sake of their child?
Chen Yan could foresee how popular Tangtang’s first live broadcast would be.
The biggest cash cow of "Shengshi" is about to resume work. Chen Yan is of course happy, and Wen Yiyi falls silent.
Even if Tangtang takes a few more months off, she will still be more famous than Wen Yiyi. Wen Yiyi cannot snatch away the resources that "Shengshi" gave to Tangtang.
After Wen Yiyi left, Chen Yan's assistant Li Kai tiptoed into the office.
"What are you being so cautious about?"
Chen Yan asked curiously, "This is my office and there are no outsiders here. You can just say whatever you want to say."
Li Kai looked very nervous.
Opening his handbag, Li Kai took out a stack of papers.
"You asked me to check on Mr. Gu, and I found out—"
Li Kai seemed to have no idea how to continue, so he simply handed the stack of papers to Chen Yan.
Shen Yan could sense Li Kai's fear.
What is Li Kai afraid of?
It's no secret that Gu Jun came from a poor background. When someone's down and out, they're very reluctant to have others mention their poor background. But when someone becomes successful, their poor background becomes a medal on their monument to success. What's so wrong with mentioning it?
It wasn't until Chen Yan lowered his head and saw the contents on the paper clearly that his eyes became deep.
"Where did you find it?"
Li Kai's voice was still very low. "That painter Jason is actually Mr. Gu's younger brother. Mr. Gu's biological mother, Fu Hong, ran away from home and gave birth to their youngest son, Jason. Mr. Gu's biological father, Gu Wenting, couldn't bear the shock of his wife's departure and committed suicide. I found these medical records through the school where Gu Wenting worked before his death. On several occasions when Gu Wenting had an attack, the school teachers helped to send him to the hospital."
Li Kai went to investigate the Gu family's former neighbors.
Most people thought that Gu Wenting committed suicide because he was stimulated by Fu Hong's leaving home, but Li Kai continued to investigate and found that Gu Wenting had been hospitalized for treatment before Fu Hong left.
Considering that Jason was once exposed to have mental illness, maybe this is actually a hereditary mental illness?
Li Kai was worried that he had uncovered a secret that Gu Jun didn't want others to know.
Li Kai was very scared.
However, he still made a copy of the medical records he had found and gave it to Shen Yan.
Chen Yan flipped through the medical records and thought a lot for a while.
The Gu family may have a hereditary mental illness. Does Xu Yao know about this?
If Jason already has symptoms, Gu Jun will most likely be inherited, it's just a matter of time!
Similarly, Gu Jun, who carries such a gene, is not suitable for having children, and there is a probability that Gu Jun's next generation will also be sick.
Xu Yao really likes children. After Tangtang gave birth to her baby, Xu Yao went to see her almost every day.
If she knew about Gu Jun's situation... a voice was desperately tempting Chen Yan, reminding him that the opportunity had come. This might be the best reason to prevent Xu Yao and Gu Jun from getting back together.
Also, does Jiang Zhiyan know about this?
Once Gu Jun falls ill, the highest management authority of Huahu will be handed over to Jiang Zhiyan.
The voice just now was tempting Chen Yan again: This is the only chance to defeat Gu Jun. Love is hopeless, friendship is betrayed, and career is in turmoil. Gu Jun is likely to be stimulated and have an attack!
Gu Jun is really too powerful.
Huahu is developing better and better. How can Shen Yan catch up with the MCN company? He knows that the gap between him and Gu Jun will only get bigger!
Now God has given Chen Yan another option.
Perhaps, he didn't need to surpass Gu Jun's achievements, but only needed to pull Gu Jun down from his current level of achievements——
The devil whispered in Shen Yan's ear. After a while, Shen Yan calmed down and told Li Kai: "Don't tell anyone about the medical records, and you don't need to continue investigating Gu Jun."
