Chapter 37 [Updated] She'll take a liking to a name...
Xiao Ou could no longer hold back; tears streamed down her face, and she couldn't stop sniffling.
"Sister Jiang, I really... I really can't stay at Youqian Entertainment anymore? Let me do something else, like cleaning or security. Or don't pay me a salary."
"You didn't pass your probation period because of those things, nor because of the online opinions."
"That's...why?"
"Now that everyone in the entertainment industry has money, they don't trust you anymore. You won't have a good time if you stay."
Xiao Ou's heart was completely dead.
*
The Su Yunruo assistant incident was quickly resolved by Youqian Entertainment announcing the termination of the assistant's contract.
A few hours later, someone among Su Yunruo's fans suddenly suggested forming a fan club.
This idea had been around for a while, but it was brought up again this time by someone taking advantage of the anti-fan incident.
Let's form a team! It's too tough without a proper army; we'll get bullied everywhere we go.
[Having a fan club is great! You can find innocent fans from the fan club to work as assistants, and you won't have to get scammed out of money by trashy haters anymore.]
[And there aren't any professional fan site admins. Having one would be great—taking beautiful photos to benefit the fans.]
[Yes, yes, yes, if it weren't for this variety show appearance, I wouldn't have known Su Yunruo was so tall. According to Ke Jinyang on another show, everyone who acted with Su Yunruo had to ride a scooter.]
[Yeah, Su Yunruo has such a fun personality, she should be promoted more!]
[And she's wearing vintage haute couture! A true haute couture enthusiast. She's definitely the daughter of some rich man.]
[We should crack down on these smear campaigns; those who keep insulting her and spreading rumors about her should be banned.]
[People used to criticize her for having no friends and poor acting skills, but she clearly has such a good relationship with Ke Jinyang and the others, and her acting is actually quite good.]
[That picture with zero resources was posted everywhere, but no one mentioned how amazing the data was for Su Yunruo's three dramas. She's practically the pinnacle of idol dramas, and she even has many fans overseas.]
Just as the topic was being hotly discussed online, a marketing account suddenly sent a message.
#Su Yunruo successfully met her idol with her assistant and friends#
Photos of Su Yunruo entering the backstage dressing room with two ordinary people have surfaced online.
Some netizens confirmed that the two people had a verbal altercation with others outside the stadium yesterday and were indeed FLY fans. What's even more frightening is that these two marketing accounts, which have been completely exposed, have been confirmed to be Lin Xingsen's die-hard fans and had a fight with Zheng Chengcheng's fans.
A small group of people who saw this message were eagerly waiting to see what would happen, but shockingly, the marketing account disappeared almost immediately after it was posted.
Zhou Kantian closed Weibo and then reopened it, but he still couldn't see the message.
Just then, Xie Xiaofeng called urgently, "Kantian! The boss just called the public relations department and ordered them not to fire Su Yunruo's assistant anymore."
Zhou Kantian sneered, "What, Su Yunruo slept with him?"
"Kantian, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm brothers with Xiao Han now. Who does he think he is to order me around?"
"Kantian... The boss gave a death order, saying that anyone who continues to hype this up will be banned from the entertainment industry."
Zhou Kantian was taken aback.
Is it that serious?
"I suspected something when that guy who stole the laptop got into trouble last time. Living on the island in the middle of the lake and collecting antiques and haute couture, Su Yunruo's background is definitely not simple, maybe it's really powerful. Stop worrying about her. You have a good relationship with President Han now, so focus on filming and you'll definitely be a top star. She's a woman, she can't compete with you for scripts or resources, so why are you still holding onto her? Your real enemies are Ke Jinyang, Fan Xingchen, and Hu Yang!"
"..."
"Kantian? Even if you hate her, you have to wait until later! Although you have a good relationship with General Manager Han, distant water can't quench immediate fire. He is not the real general manager of LY, and he may not necessarily stand on your side if something happens! Let's seize the current opportunity to squeeze into the front line first."
Zhou Kantian took a deep breath and nodded silently.
With no one maliciously pushing things along, the matter has finally calmed down. Thanks to other celebrities trending on social media, the issue of Su Yunruo's assistant has completely disappeared.
The entertainment company, Youqian Entertainment, has not responded to the fan club's issues, and the fans have returned to their indifferent attitude.
...
[Teacher Su Yunruo, Xiaolin asked me to go home with him after dance practice today! He really listened to you.]
Su Yunruo occasionally acted as a good Samaritan, chatting with the puppy. [That's nice; encourage him more.]
[Is that woman next to you really a hater? That's terrifying! I can't even imagine what I would do if my assistant disliked me.]
Su Yunruo: [Maybe your assistant also dislikes you, but is too embarrassed to say it because of work.]
[Waaaaah, now that you've said that, I suddenly think Li Ge dislikes me too. He always seems to find fault with me.]
【/laugh】
[Ms. Su Yunruo, Xiaolin asked me to tell you that you are very beautiful, but your assistant is blatantly lying in the WeChat group.]
Su Yunruo smiled wryly. "Did he really say that?"
I asked him if he thought you were pretty, and he implicitly agreed.
Hahahaha
"What's making you so happy?" Jiang Chunrou looked up from her laptop and asked her curiously.
"Oh, chatting with Zheng Chengcheng, it's quite interesting."
"There are two things I need to report to you."
"What's the matter."
"One thing is that my cousin Xiao Ou submitted her resignation letter. I tried to persuade her, but she insisted on leaving, so her 30-day contract was automatically terminated."
Su Yunruo thought for a moment, "Let's do it her way."
Jiang Chunrou's original intention was to hope that Su Yunruo could come up with a way to keep her, but Su Yunruo's words were a bit unlike her usual self.
However, Jiang Chunrou quickly realized that things could only be this way.
As Xiao Ou's cousin strongly recommended her and is also a relative, keeping her around would set a bad precedent for others in the company.
Su Yunruo is kind to people, but she is not a bodhisattva.
Jiang Chunrou lowered her head and apologized, "I'm sorry, I also have some faults here. When I first started investigating, I didn't expect Xiao Ou to be your hater."
"It didn't cause any damage, so don't feel guilty."
"Xiao Ou's friend..." Jiang Chunrou hesitated, but couldn't help asking, "Should we deal with it?"
"That's Xiao Ou's own business."
Jiang Chunrou: "I can't understand her behavior."
“I don’t know her, and I don’t understand her. But the starting point of many things is extremely complicated. For example, a sudden outburst of jealousy, a sudden evil thought, just being unable to bear seeing others do well, misunderstandings… or speaking too intimately with someone you don’t know well, suddenly going down the wrong path, and so on. Only Xiao Ou herself can draw a conclusion about this matter.” Su Yunruo thought for a moment, then grinned, “It can be considered growth. Everyone has to experience betrayal. After experiencing more, you won’t be easily deceived.”
"Was Miss Su also deceived?"
"Of course there are. I've met quite a few swindlers who claim to be entrepreneurs but are good at nothing but boasting."
"Pfft—"
Su Yunruo put her hands on the table and sighed, "I suddenly remembered a high school classmate recently. If I had extraordinary talent like him and could become a chemist, physicist or mathematician who goes down in history, I wouldn't have to spend money to grind for experience."
"Being rich doesn't count as talent."
Su Yunruo perked up again, "You're right, I may not be good at other things, but I do have a natural talent for beauty and making money."
Jiang Chunrou smiled, "There's a second thing."
"What's the matter."
"Fanjian Studio withdrew its investment, but Han Group immediately followed suit and invested money. I asked an acquaintance, and he said it was the decision of Han Group's future heir."
Su Yunruo narrowed her eyes.
“I checked his schedule, and he hasn’t been working at the company lately. He’s either going to temples to worship Buddha or going to entertainment venues, and he’s often accompanied by female companions.”
"Worship Buddha?"
Jiang Chunrou nodded, "Yes. He auctioned Buddhist beads at a high price and even had them blessed by a master. He also frequented places that Zhou Kantian's rich second-generation friends liked to go to. I suspect he has also become Zhou Kantian's client."
Su Yunruo suddenly remembered that the book did mention that Zhou Kantian had some connection with the original male protagonist.
She's been so engrossed in these things lately that she's forgotten to use the plot of the book to predict how things will unfold.
In some mysterious way, everything was in accordance with the settings in the book.
Xiao Ou was betrayed and left Youqian Entertainment, while Zhou Kantian got in touch with the male protagonist of the original book.
"I see."
A plan sprouted in her mind that would not only make Old Master Miao turn against them, but also make him resent the Han family.
This is extremely important.
*
Congratulations! Grandpa Miao has finally woken up.
When those cloudy eyes opened, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief. They relayed the news from one person to another, and through sheer manpower, they managed to spread the word to the surrounding villages.
Everyone was happy, but the old man wasn't feeling well. His breathing became increasingly labored, and he gasped for air. The doctor tried to help him for a long time, but then he suddenly closed his eyes and fainted. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the doctor said he had just fallen asleep.
I slept for a while and then woke up in the middle of the night again.
The ward was dark. Old Master Miao was thirsty and tried to get up to ring the bell to call for help. As soon as he moved, someone next to him got up.
"woke up?"
Grandpa Miao was taken aback. "Why aren't you sleeping on the bed next to me?"
Grandma Miao propped herself up to turn on the light; her movements were clumsy due to her age, and it took her some time.
"I'll call the doctor."
"Don't bother the doctor so late at night, just talk to me for a while."
Grandma Miao sat down.
The ward remained silent, and Grandpa Miao tried to speak several times but could not utter a word.
The matter is too complicated to explain.
On the contrary, I'm afraid that saying it will hurt more people.
Grandpa Miao sighed, feeling lost.
He was only focused on making money when he was young, leaving all the children to his wife. Later, he suffered the consequences, and his children were bullied by their husbands when they grew up.
He thought it was because he hadn't accumulated enough good fortune for his daughter. He gave up the hard-earned life in the big city and invested all his money in his hometown, planning to stay there for the rest of his life. He found an honest man for his daughter so that she could live out the rest of her life in peace.
When his granddaughter was born, Grandpa Miao didn't dare to spoil her like he did his daughter. He personally taught her to be thrifty and diligent in her studies. Although she couldn't compare to other children, Grandpa Miao thought that as long as she was of good character, that was enough. He would earn the money she needed for the rest of her life.
Even though he was watching so closely, why did Xiaoyun still get into trouble?
Grandpa Miao closed his eyes tightly, and when he thought of how his granddaughter looked when she returned home that day, he felt like he couldn't breathe.
His granddaughter...
Grandpa Miao suddenly started breathing rapidly, and his chest and abdomen throbbed violently.
Grandma Miao hurriedly got up to find a doctor, while Grandpa Miao struggled to raise his hand, saying, "Wait, find someone to check the... the... the weeks..."
Grandma Miao cried when she saw her husband like this. "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll get the doctor."
Grandpa Miao couldn't catch his breath and then fainted again.
Having weathered many storms over the years, Grandma Miao had never seen anything like this before. And Grandpa Miao, a man of unyielding integrity who wouldn't even blink when his fingers were chopped off, actually fainted three times in a row.
"What a tragedy, what a tragedy!"
Grandma Miao cried as she went to find a doctor, and that night was another ordeal.
Under the leadership of Grandpa Miao, the Miao people in the village had long been united as one, and upon hearing the news, everyone was extremely anxious.
Fearing that Grandpa Miao might be ill and the S City hospital couldn't find the cause, some family members with children working as doctors abroad made transoceanic calls to inquire if any specialists could help. Others knew highly respected monks and planned to personally drive to pick them up to perform rituals for Grandpa Miao…
Hundreds of people were anxious and scared, and they came to the hospital in groups every day to check on him. Perhaps it was because everyone was praying that a miracle happened, and Grandpa Miao woke up again.
This time, I was calm and managed to get up and drink a glass of water. However, my body had suffered too much in my sleep, and the words I uttered were trembling. I called everyone out, leaving only a few close friends and family members behind.
After overcoming this ordeal, the people of Miao Village finally began to ponder why Grandpa Miao had suddenly fainted.
"I think I saw Su Yunruo that day."
"It seems that Su Yunruo hit Miao Xiaoyun."
"Yes, yes, Xiaoyun's face was covered in slap marks when she came back."
"Oh my god, a female celebrity dares to bully our Xiaoyun? I'm not watching her dramas anymore."
"Auntie, the matter hasn't been clarified yet, so please don't say that."
Someone intervened, and everyone stopped making these wild guesses.
In any case, it's a good thing that Grandpa Miao has woken up.
When Grandpa Miao woke up, he finally accepted the story between his granddaughter, whom he had personally raised, and Zhou Kantian.
His brain, which had been clouded by the bullying of his granddaughter, finally started working again. He immediately called his granddaughter over and got to the bottom of things. From the day they met until the incident, Miao Xiaoyun had deliberately concealed the marriage proposal and what happened in the women's restroom on the day of the "Let's Travel Together" recording. But old foxes are shrewd. When Grandpa Miao realized that the logic was flawed, he used all his business acumen. How could a 19-year-old girl withstand that? In the end, Miao Xiaoyun even confessed that Su Yunruo had discovered her Weibo side account.
After hearing this, Grandpa Miao patted the bed and chuckled. Miao Xiaoyun didn't dare to speak, sitting obediently and upright, just as reserved and serious as a first-grade student in class.
"After you finish university, take the civil service exam in our township or become a teacher at the school next door."
Upon hearing this, Miao Xiaoyun was stunned. "Grandpa, I want to..."
"Haven't you learned your lesson yet? You're not cut out to play tricks on those outsiders. They're all setting traps for you. I can still cover for you now, but when these old bones of mine fail, if you still want to live a good life, you'll have to stay quietly in Miao Village."
"I want to go outside and see the world!"
"What are you looking at? That Zhou Kantian has your video. If you don't stay in Miaojia Village, you'll just be his slave."
Miao Xiaoyun's eyes widened. "W-what?"
“I taught you not to mess around with men, and you called me old-fashioned. Look at the consequences of your disobedience! Your boyfriend filmed you and sent the videos out to so many people. Where else can you go besides staying in the Miao village? Wherever you go now, some boss's kid might have those videos of you!”
"..."
Miao Xiaoyun was completely speechless. Zhou Kantian's infidelity was already the limit of her understanding. She simply couldn't believe that there could be something more terrifying than infidelity.
The affair hurt her deeply, and posting her video to others completely ruined her!
"No, no," Miao Xiaoyun subconsciously rejected the idea. "He said he wouldn't."
"You even have Su Yunruo's videos!"
A bolt of lightning struck Miao Xiaoyun on a clear day.
Seeing this, Grandpa Miao felt a pang of heartache and reached out to comfort his innocent granddaughter.
Suddenly, Miao Xiaoyun stood up and said, "It couldn't have been Zhou Kantian who released the video. It must have been Su Yunruo. Su Yunruo stole his phone. Grandpa, Su Yunruo also likes Zhou Kantian. She has always wanted to take Zhou Kantian from me. She is jealous of me, so she is the one who is harming me."
"absurd!"
Grandpa Miao finally couldn't hold back any longer. Despite his discomfort, he slapped Miao Xiaoyun across the face. His arm trembled, and his old face was covered in tears.
"Su Yunruo's great-grandfather is Su Zhongyuan! She has relatives in City A. Her father has built such a large commercial district in Building A. Would she really be interested in a minor celebrity who isn't even as famous as her?"
Before Miao Xiaoyun could even feel her grievances welling up, she was shocked by Grandpa Miao's words.
"Impossible, Su Yunruo is clearly a female celebrity who is being kept by a sugar daddy."
Seeing this, Grandpa Miao beat his chest and stamped his feet, "It's all my fault. I didn't take you to see the world, and you were completely fooled by others!"
