Zhou Sui stopped and looked at Xie Ranning's flustered appearance, as if something important had indeed happened.
"What?"
Xie Ranning tentatively asked, "Teacher Zhou, are you and Jian Zhizhen very close? There's something I hope you can tell her in advance. It's about the Golden Dragon Award. She... she might encounter some difficulties. I hope she can prepare accordingly."
Zhou Sui was very puzzled: "Why?"
Xie Ranning looked up, glanced around, then pulled Zhou Sui to a corner without surveillance cameras and explained the reason to him:
"My aunt is Xie, the editor-in-chief of 'Fengmang' magazine, and she is also a judge for this year's Golden Dragon Awards. When I went to her house for dinner a few days ago, she told me that she thought highly of Jian Zhizhen and wanted to vote for her."
"I never expected to receive a video yesterday, which is a video of her son, my cousin, beating someone."
“A few years ago, my cousin got into a fight at school and knocked someone deaf in one ear. My aunt paid compensation to the other party privately and also introduced him to a hospital where his ear was cured. The other party forgave my cousin. My aunt thought that she had done all that and that would settle things peacefully.”
"But unexpectedly, this matter was found out by a mysterious person, who threatened my aunt at the end of the video, saying that if she dared to vote for Jian Zhizhen, he would release the video of my cousin beating someone."
“Actually, there are many judges for the Golden Dragon Award, and my aunt’s vote may not have much of an impact… But I’m afraid that it’s not just my aunt who received it, but other judges as well, so I want to remind Zhenzhen to be mentally prepared. Even if she doesn’t win the award this time, it’s not because she’s not capable, but because she was framed.”
Zhou Sui understood what was going on.
In fact, fights can indeed be settled privately by paying money, as long as the parties involved do not pursue the matter.
However, Editor-in-Chief Xie is a public figure, and in recent years she has also planned to send her son into the entertainment industry.
If this gets exposed, her son won't be able to continue down this path.
So she must care a lot, and probably won't vote for Jian Zhizhen.
Zhou Sui nodded: "Okay, I'll pass it on to Jian Zhizhen later."
"Thank you, thank you!" Xie Ranning bowed again and said excitedly, "Please ask Teacher Zhou to tell her that this news was found by one of her little fans. We Zhen'ai fans will always support her!"
Zhou Sui: "Alright..."
Xie Ranning's eyes were full of anticipation for her career: "I've long been a fan of Zhenzhen's many imaginative inventions. I'm currently preparing a new book, and the female lead is a great inventor! I hope that one day I can be on the bestseller list alongside Teacher Zhou!"
Zhou Sui smiled and said, "Keep it up."
Xie Ranning nodded emphatically and happily went back to the editorial department of "Fengmang".
I spoke with my career role model again today, and even had him convey an important message to my idol. Perfect!
Zhou Sui looked at the closed elevator doors, feeling both amused and exasperated.
I thought the little girl had been watching him in the elevator because she admired him.
I never expected that he liked Jian Zhizhen.
He sent a message to Jian Zhizhen, telling her exactly what he had just heard, and asking her to think of a response strategy in advance.
He hoped that Chien Chih-chen could communicate with the judges in advance and win the award.
She's retiring from the entertainment industry, so if she could win an award before then, it would be a perfect ending to her career.
...
After Jian Zhizhen woke up, she saw the message from Zhou Sui and couldn't help but guess that it must have been the Lin family father and daughter who threatened the judges.
This is truly terrifying to think about.
What exactly does Lin Zong do?
How do you get access to other people's secret videos?
In the final episode, Fu Lingxi and Wu Teng initially had many misunderstandings and hostility towards her.
After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Jian Zhizhen asked Fu Lingxi why she went there with hostility.
Fu Lingxi said it was arranged by her boss, who listened to Lin Zong.
Looking at this incident now, it's very likely that the owners of the watermelon and mulberry shops were also threatened.
She wanted to verify her guess, so she asked someone to help her find out.
However, Fu Lingxi has a concert in a few days, and her personality is not suited to investigating these matters.
As for Muto Makoto, Chien Chih-chen wasn't familiar with him and hadn't even exchanged contact information with him.
She suddenly remembered that one of her die-hard fans seemed to work for the same company as Makoto Muto.
She found that person and sent her a message: "Hi, are you an artist under Mulberry Entertainment?"
A Paper Kite Tree: "Ahhh, Zhenzhen messaged me first!"
A Paper Kite Tree: "Yes, my name is Wei Ruyuan. I'm a young actress under Sangshen's agency. I played a little flower fairy in 'The Legend of Technological Cultivation.' It was my junior sister who released me!"
There is such a scene in "The Legend of Cultivating Immortals with Technology".
While other members of the sect had to capture innocent little monsters to refine for cultivation, the female lead, played by Chien Chih-chen, couldn't bear to harm those innocent spirits, so she released them all and started teaching everyone scientific cultivation with her senior brother, played by Nan-chu, without resorting to killing.
Each of the little monsters in that scene appeared for no more than five seconds, so Chien Chih-chen never expected that she had already met them back then.
Jian Zhizhen was just thinking about how to bring this up with her when Wei Ruyuan took the initiative to ask.
A Paper Kite Tree: "Zhenzhen, is there anything I can do for you? Just let me know!"
Jian Zhizhen then said directly, "There is indeed something I would like to ask you for help with. Could you please ask your boss if he was threatened when he sent Muto Makoto to harm me last time? If so, please tell me the truth, and I might be able to help him."
A kite tree: "Wait for me for ten minutes!"
...
Mulberry Entertainment.
Wei Ruyuan ran straight to the boss's office.
She took out a yellow talisman and stuck it on her boss's head.
He made the hand seals of a Taoist priest exorcising demons with both hands: "Boss, you've been hit by my truth-telling talisman, you must tell me the truth!"
The mulberry shop owner leaned back in his chair, looking at her with a lifeless expression.
Actually, he's used to it.
Their company produces a lot of manga adaptations, so their actors are all a bit chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur).
Applying talismans is considered a mild form of this.
A few days ago, an actor came over and complained that if he wasn't given a raise, he would write all the bosses' names in his Death Note.
And then there's Makoto Muto, who's also incredibly delusional.
The boss lifted the talisman in front of him: "Tell me, what is it that you want me to tell the truth about?"
Wei Ruyuan: "Boss, when you sent Muto Makoto to cause trouble for Chien Chih-chen on the show, were you threatened by someone?"
Upon hearing this, the boss's gaze sharpened: "How did you know?"
Wei Ruyuan: "As expected! Boss, this isn't right of you. How could you send someone to frame an innocent person just because you were threatened? Did Zhenzhen offend you?"
The boss sighed helplessly, "I really didn't want to harm Jian Zhizhen, that's why I sent Muto Makoto. I knew he would handle things the way he did and wouldn't really hurt Jian Zhizhen, that's why I sent him... If I didn't do it, my scandal would be exposed..."
Wei Ruyuan narrowed her eyes: "You really have a scandal? What is it? Tell me."
