The video ends here.
Bai Qianmo's face remained expressionless, her gaze fixed on the video screen.
The image that remains is Zhang Cuiyan's sallow face. She is very thin, with sunken cheeks and deep-set eyes. In addition, rural women do not know how to take care of themselves, so she looks very old.
His taut lips drooped slightly, revealing a serious and harsh expression.
His eyes were like two sharp blades, piercing and conveying a cold indifference that told strangers to stay away.
A thought flashed through Bai Qianmo's mind: This is the woman who raised her, a liar and a vicious person.
Knowing Zhang Cuiyan as she did, she knew that Zhang Cuiyan wouldn't leave the capital so easily without getting some benefits out of her.
"Which platform did this video originally originate from?"
"It's a newly opened, unscrupulous media outlet called Orange Video. They specialize in making up baseless gossip and scandals to gain attention. This time, they've targeted your adoptive mother, hoping to ride her coattails."
Bai Qianmo smiled coldly: "Investigate who the owner behind this video streaming platform is."
"Do you think Orange Video has a powerful backer?"
"A newly established small company, without a powerful backer, who would dare to be so reckless?"
"Yes, that makes sense. I'll have someone investigate right away."
"By the way, Director Liu from Beijing TV just came by in person. He wants to finalize the filming schedule as soon as possible. I took a close look at your schedule, and you happen to have time tomorrow or the day after. After you come back, you will be joining the crew of 'The Legend of 1900' to film."
Bai Qianmo placed the water glass on the bar, stretched, and rubbed her slightly sore shoulders.
"You make the arrangements." She always entrusted Su Peishan with the entire responsibility of arranging her schedule.
"Then I called Fatty Liu back and asked him to revise the contract."
Bai Qianmo looked at Su Peishan with a puzzled expression.
"Why is the contract being revised? The previous one was a 'pretty face' persona, is the persona being changed this time?"
Su Peishan smiled shrewdly: "We are now the main female MS star of 'Extreme Challenge'. The whole show depends on you to drive the ratings. The previous cheap contract is naturally void. I clearly listed the conditions when I talked to Fatty Liu alone, and the TV station readily agreed."
"There's one more thing. The secretary to the president of Wansheng Group called today, saying that it's time to fulfill the promise and asking when you'd be available?"
Su Peishan stared at Bai Qianmo carefully from head to toe.
“When did you get in touch with the people from Wansheng? We’re together every day, how come I didn’t know about something this big? I received a call from them this morning, and I suspected it was a scam call. But then they invited us to Wansheng’s headquarters to discuss the contract, and they didn’t mention anything about having to make an upfront payment, so I started to believe them.”
Wansheng is one of the top listed groups in Asia.
Previously, Wansheng had always hired international film stars like Gao Lu as their brand ambassadors, but this was the first time they had chosen a newcomer, Bai Qianmo.
I don't know whether to say Wansheng has a sharp eye or that Qianmo is really popular lately.
"Oh, it's a contract I secured myself before working with you," Bai Qianmo said, too lazy to explain.
Su Peishan looked astonished.
"Qianmo, with your diplomatic skills, I think you could totally be your own agent."
This is the first time that she, a top agent, has suffered such a blow.
"Being a manager is too stressful; I just want some peace and quiet."
"You see things very clearly. Being an agent is a thankless job, and it's really not suitable for someone of your status. Otherwise, your lord would feel sorry for you."
After chatting for a while, Su Peishan remembered her business.
"How do you plan to resolve the issue of your adoptive mother?"
Bai Qianmo pondered for a moment: "Let her cause trouble in the capital for now. Once she's had her fill of trouble, she'll come looking for me."
"I don't think your adoptive mother is someone to be trifled with. And the fact that she came to the capital at this critical juncture is most likely because of Bai Xiruo. I'm afraid she'll distort the truth and say things to deliberately smear you. Your image has just been restored to a positive state, so don't let an adoptive mother ruin your reputation."
Bai Qianmo scoffed coldly: "Since I entered this industry, how many people have tried to smear me?"
She really didn't take Zhang Cuiyan seriously.
Su Peishan shrugged.
And you know what? This girl is naturally destined to trend on social media and be the subject of online criticism.
Even if she stays at home honestly and dutifully every day, baseless accusations can still fall from the sky.
She had run off with another man, got pregnant out of wedlock, and even had records of abortions at the hospital.
Later, she was kept by a sugar daddy, acted like a diva, and bullied Bai Xiruo, among other things.
Any one of these factors could have ruined an artist's career, yet Bai Qianmo emerged unscathed.
Not only that, it's getting better and better.
After acquiring Tengyue and undertaking a major overhaul, he then acquired Fansheng Media within just two months, becoming one of the top three streaming platforms.
Looking back now, accompanying this girl all the way was like riding a rocket launcher; her heart was beating much faster than usual throughout the entire process.
But the thrill and sense of accomplishment were experiences I had never had before.
Not only her, but also those around Qianmo, such as Li Song, Chen Xiang, Jiang Hai, and the artists under Tengyue, probably share similar thoughts.
Deep in their hearts, they held a profound respect and admiration for this twenty-year-old girl.
