At this point, the film crew had just finished work.
Everyone was quite excited when they heard the phone ringing on set.
Because of the poor signal deep in the mountains, everyone's phones have been like they're on airplane mode, and they've been silent for days.
Suddenly, I heard a ringing bell and a familiar vibration, and I don't know who it was, but they started shouting.
"Signal! Finally, there's a signal! Whose phone is ringing? Answer it quickly, or the signal might drop soon!"
Because it was the system's default ringtone, Wen Yan didn't react immediately.
He Xing spoke up: "Yan Yan, it's your phone."
"Mine!" Wen Yan exclaimed excitedly. "It was really hard-won!"
She put on her down jacket as she walked towards He Xing.
Who called?
He Xing glanced at the caller ID note and replied, "It's a brand we're working with."
"The brand? Calling me at 3 a.m.??"
Wen Yan felt strange and immediately reached out to take the phone that He Xing handed her.
The call was connected quickly, but the signal was terrible.
However, Wen Yan still managed to get the gist of what was being said, albeit intermittently.
The other person's general message was: 'Oh no, something terrible has happened! You've been hacked by the entire internet! You're in big trouble! Quickly find somewhere with internet access and go online!'
Wen Yan was stunned after hearing this.
"I've only been isolated from the world for a few days, how could the outside world have changed so much?"
Zhou Junye stood not far from Wen Yan, and seeing Wen Yan's face that was almost scrunched up, he also became curious.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Wen Yan: "…………It’s kind of fantastical, I just heard that my online reputation collapsed."
Zhou Junye: "??? What? You can have your house collapse too? What's so great about you that's collapsed?"
Wen Yan shrugged: "I don't know either."
Sensing the juicy gossip, Wang Che and Jing Hao also joined in.
"What collapsed house? How did the house collapse?"
Seeing so many bright, sparkling eyes around her, Wen Yan was too embarrassed to admit that she didn't know the details.
“How about this, Director,” Wen Yan discussed with Zhou Junye, “they said I’m in big trouble and told me to find a place to go online. I don’t think they would play this joke on me in the middle of the night, so I want to ask for a day off and go to the city.”
Is it in a hurry?
Wen Yan nodded: "I guess so, to the extent that other brands deleted my related posts overnight."
"It's that serious! Let's go now."
Zhou Junye could be said to have watched Wen Yan grow up step by step.
He knew how hard Wen Yan had worked to get to where she was today, and that being terminated by a brand was a very serious matter.
"Let's drive to the city now."
Upon hearing this, the assistant director immediately asked, "What will we do if you leave, Director?"
After thinking for two seconds, Zhou Junye immediately made a decision.
"Let's all go together. Anyway, we have a few important shots in the city that we'll be filming sooner or later, so let's finish filming them in the next few days. We can also find a place to take a hot bath and have something good to eat."
Zhou Junye's last words were incredibly tempting.
God knows how much they wanted to take a good shower.
So the entire crew drove to the city overnight.
After checking into the hotel, Wen Yan didn't even have time to rest before immediately going online to check for news about herself.
You won't believe it until you see it!
Good heavens, after a trip into the mountains, her father, who had disappeared for decades, actually resurfaced on his own.
When Wen Yan first saw those articles criticizing and belittling her, she wasn't sure who was behind it.
It wasn't until she saw her so-called 'biological father' and his background that she immediately realized who was behind this.
It must be Wen Chengcai.
Not long ago, he mentioned his biological father, but he coldly and ruthlessly ignored it all.
Unexpectedly, he didn't give up and then pulled this stunt.
Moreover, it seems he's collaborating with someone; otherwise, he couldn't have stirred up such a huge storm on his own.
With a 'snap', Wen Yan slammed her phone face down on the bedside table.
He Xing nervously and cautiously observed the expression on Wen Yan's face.
He asked, "Yan Yan, what's being said online probably isn't true, right? Although as your assistant I don't know the specifics of your family situation, it seems like your family is quite harmonious."
"This is..." Wen Yan was about to speak when there was a knock on the door.
Then Zhou Junye's voice rang out.
"Wen Yan, are you asleep? This is Zhou Junye. Is it convenient for me to come in and talk to you for a few minutes?"
"Coming!" Wen Yan immediately got out of bed and went to open the door herself.
When the door opened, she found that not only Zhou Junye, but also Wang Che and Jing Hao had arrived.
"Hi!" Wang Che and Jing Hao raised their hands at the same time to greet Wen Yan.
Zhou Junye then explained, "We've seen the news online, and it's indeed quite serious. We're aware of your situation; you only have one assistant with you. We came here to see if we could offer some advice and discuss countermeasures with you."
“Yes!” Wang Che nodded. “No matter what, we are friends.”
Wen Yan noticed that the three of them hadn't even changed their clothes, and she could tell at a glance that they, like her, hadn't showered because they were in a hurry to get the news.
Seeing how much they cared about her, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
"Please come in. The only way now is to clarify the situation; there is no other way."
