The trending search was firmly on the front row, and it kept rising as I refreshed the page. Shen Ci was furious, and he gritted his teeth and clicked in to see it.

The accompanying picture in the video does indeed include the intimate photo of Lin Wan helping Shen Ci brush his hair. The angle of the photo is very clever, and if Shen Ci was not the person involved, one would really believe it at first glance.

Shen Ci was so angry that he was extremely careful but still was tricked by Lin Wan.

Brother Zhang just went to make a phone call. Maybe he had anticipated something like this would happen, and he hasn't come back yet.

Shen Ci was curled up on the sofa, looking as angry as a pufferfish. He wanted to drag Lin Wan out and give him a good beating.

He kept revising the topic, hoping that someone would come and say something fair. However, since this involved the crew's confidentiality clause, no one dared to speak.

The caption attached to the picture was quite convincing, saying that the two of them pretended to have a bad relationship because they were afraid of being discovered.

Shen Ci was very distressed. How could this be clarified? Was he just going to accept the dirty water?

He casually refreshed the page again and suddenly found a familiar face popping up on the popular Weibo account. He received hundreds of thousands of likes in one second. It was obvious that the person had spent a lot of money to hire a group of internet trolls.

Wei Shuo: "...I didn't even bother with Xiao Ci, crawl away!"

A few seconds later, Yang Qing forwarded it intactly, along with hundreds of thousands of navy troops.

A few seconds later, it was forwarded by Xia Qingqing, along with hundreds of thousands of navy troops.

A few seconds later, it was forwarded by Min Song...

…

As soon as Shen Ci checked his page, popular Weibo posts forwarded by different acquaintances came up. They had hired internet trolls to increase the popularity of the posts, fearing that the people on the trending searches would not see them.

Shen Ci: “…Has it started again?”

The spontaneous relay of messages from the bigwigs even became a hot topic on its own, shining brightly in the front row.

"Stop talking." Brother Zhang came in, frowning, "I'll talk to them later."

Shen Ci calmed himself down and nodded solemnly.

"Xiaoci, I'm sorry. I have fired the assistant."

"I should have realized that he had so many evil intentions. He actually took photos and posted on Weibo to slander us..."

"I really do treat you like a younger brother, I don't mean any other things. But if Brother Zhang insists that I did it on purpose, then I can't do anything..."

In the lounge, after Lin Wan finished speaking, she lowered her head with a look of loss and grievance.

The other actors and staff of the crew were very tactful and stayed away from the lounge, so there were only four people in the empty large room.

Shen Ci almost vomited blood after listening to Lin Wan's words. It has come to this point, and she is still saying this. Are you treating him like a fool?

Lin Wan looks tall and handsome, but why does he speak so naively?

"I refuse and must clarify!" Shen Ci felt speechless and said firmly.

Is it because he looks easy to bully after he softens his attitude, that everyone wants to step on his head to climb up?

Besides, if the CP hype is not handled properly, it will become a scandal. Even if Shen Ci is willing, the fans may not be willing.

Lin Wan's body froze and he didn't raise his head.

His agent was sitting opposite Brother Zhang, smiling calmly with a sly look on his face.

"Since the incident has already happened, and clarifying it would be costly and ineffective, why not cooperate and hype it up?"

She was certain that Shen Ci could not clear up the relationship between them.

Brother Zhang laughed out loud when he heard this: "According to your logic, since a virgin girl has been raped, the cost of litigation is so high, so why not just marry the criminal?"

"Let me be frank. We are not opposed to hyping up couples, but we have to choose the right person to score with."

He looked at Lin Wan with disdain: "Is that it? Sorry, it's so muddled and ugly. It's really unfair to us. He doesn't deserve it."

Lin Wan: “…”

Agent: “…”

Brother Zhang humiliated Lin Wan without any politeness. Lin Wan had probably never been scolded like that before. Her face suddenly turned red and she didn't know how to react.

Lin Wan's agent was also angry: "Don't go too far! Even if you don't cooperate, you can't make personal attacks!"

Zhang Ge looked at her lazily: "Who is going too far? Zhang, who took the initiative, is now forcing us to cooperate. Who does this fool think he is?"

"Auntie, don't think that our Yunxiao legal team is vegetarian. See you in court."

The agent's face immediately turned green. Brother Zhang was probably older than her, yet he could call her "Auntie" so shamelessly!

Brother Zhang was happy to see her get angry, and laughed happily: "Also, you can check the progress of the trending searches you bought. If I guessed correctly, they are gone."

Lin Wan and the agent's expressions changed and they could no longer sit still.

How is that possible? They spent a lot of money to hire hundreds of thousands of trolls to ensure that the article would stay at the top of the trending searches for at least a whole day.

Besides, it’s only been less than ten minutes, right?!

Brother Zhang didn't look at them again. He pulled Shen Ci up and left.

The door was slammed shut. Lin Wan quickly looked up the trending searches, but found that she really couldn't find it. She gradually fell into panic and despair.

If he fails to attract attention this time, he will really be terminated by the company...

With trembling hands, he searched for the trending name, but what he saw was a page where the topic was blocked.

"Sister, it's really gone..."

Lin Wan's agent's eyes widened and he snatched the phone away: "How is this possible?!"

The agent's hands were shaking a little, but she pulled herself together, patted Lin Wan on the back and consoled her, "No, it's okay. A lot has been revealed in these ten minutes anyway. The company won't be so unkind as to terminate your contract. I'll plead with them!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her cell phone rang.

The boss' roar was even more deafening than the speakerphone, and it scared Lin Wan and the other person.

"I really want to kill you two! Do you know who you've offended, huh?!"

"All the company's artists' announcements were cancelled, and investors suddenly called to say they were cutting off their funding chain!"

"This is all your fault! Just wait for me!"

“Beep, beep, beep—”

The economist's hand could not hold the phone anymore and it fell to the ground with a "click", his eyes dim.

Lin Wan didn't dare to say anything, and only then did he vaguely realize how big a mess they had made...

***

In the nanny car.

Shen Ci's WeChat was buzzing with messages from friends inside and outside the circle, expressing their condolences.

Shen Ci was so angry that he was too lazy to reply politely and simply turned off his phone.

"Brother Zhang, do you think Lin Wan really likes me? It's so annoying!" Shen Ci couldn't help but ask, he really felt a little uncomfortable.

Brother Zhang was driving and smiled: "I don't know whether I like it or not, but the most important thing is that you are famous."

Shen Ci: “Ah?”

Brother Zhang: "Lin Wan has been in the industry for three or four years but still hasn't made it. I guess he and his agent have given up. This rumor was quickly dispelled, and their purpose is not to make people believe it."

"I analyzed it and it seems that they just want to hype it up and use your name to get on the trending search list. It's just a gambler's mentality."

Brother Zhang laughed: "But it's really interesting. He actually competed with Yunxiao to see who has more money. This is the biggest joke I've heard today."

Shen Ci was lost in thought, and when he came to his senses he had already reached home.

He walked in through the front door and saw that the lights were on in the main living room and the study on the second floor.

Has Lu Xiao returned?

Although they had experienced the embarrassment of that night a week ago, both of them seemed to have selective amnesia and tacitly agreed not to bring it up again.

Shen Ci knocked on the study door. Before entering, he suddenly remembered the night when he was drugged at the final banquet of "No Goodbye". The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention it again.

Come to think of it, why do he and Lu Xiao have so many embarrassing memories!

Shen Ci entered the study room, but Lu Xiao didn't even raise his head, still looking down at the documents.

"Still working so late..." Shen Ci muttered, and walked over to massage Lu Xiao's shoulders.

As soon as he walked behind Lu Xiao, Shen Ci inadvertently scanned the interface of the tablet in his hand and froze.

What is displayed above is a spliced ​​picture, which includes the milk tea photo of Lin Wan and Yang Qi that was deleted in seconds, as well as the photo of Lin Wan holding Shen Ci's hand, and the photo of Shen Ci being wiped by Lin Wan at the right time...

Shen Ci was so confused, how did my uncle collect such a complete collection? !

"You're back?"

Lu Xiao locked the screen and finally looked up at Shen Ci. His eyes were somewhat dark and deep, and the smile on his lips was a little cold.

He doesn't seem very happy.

"Uncle..." Shen Ci said softly, "I was wrong."

Although he didn't know why he had to apologize, since Lu Xiao deliberately let him see these photos and was so unhappy, it must be his fault.

Shen Ci was very determined and knew how to appease his uncle.

Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow: "So? Will you dare to do it next time?"

Shen Ci pinched Lu Xiao's shoulder in a flattering manner: "How could that be? Haha..."

Lu Xiao: "Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"

This put him in a difficult position. Shen Ci hesitated for a long time but couldn't explain the reason.

"..." When Lu Xiao saw him like this, he knew that Shen Ci was talking nonsense just now.

Jiao Bo 鏄 怼 见 跷 Zheng Lai

Helplessly, he pulled Shen Ci to sit on his lap, reached out and touched Shen Ci's face, but said nothing.

Lu Xiao looked gentle, but his eyes were slightly bitter. Shen Ci felt uncomfortable watching him. But he didn't know what to say, so he just stayed quietly on his lap.

Shen Ci didn't know how long the two of them sat in silence.

Because he...seems to have fallen asleep again.

***

On the second day's shooting set, Shen Ci didn't see Lin Wan the whole time, even though Lin Wan and Qin Yun were supposed to be acting opposite each other today.

He was just feeling something was a little strange when he happened to hear a staff member passing by talking about it.

"…It seems like leaking stills violated the contract. Anyway, according to our contract, in addition to paying compensation, we have to quit the crew."

"Ah...what about the second male lead?"

"Let's try another actor temporarily... Look, the director is still on the phone, it seems he's trying out a new role..."

Shen Ci blinked. This... is the second male lead role! How could they just change it so casually?

He looked in the direction of the director not far away, and he was indeed talking on his cell phone...

The director hung up the phone with a numb look on his face.

Who called him just now to audition? Oh, it was supermodel goddess Min Song.

No, Min Song is a woman! Why is she auditioning for the second male lead?

When asked the reason, she said she came to film a movie with Shen Ci for fun!

Yesterday, Lin Wan was directly named and removed from the circle by a big shot because of trying to frame Shen Ci... The director began to seriously consider in his mind whether he had offended Shen Ci.

The phone rang again. The director took a deep breath and answered it.

"Hello? Is this Director Zhu? Our Xia Qingqing wants to audition for the role of the second male lead. Can you arrange it for her?"

"Oh, she insisted on coming. Our Yunxiao is good at nothing but pampering artists. There's nothing we can do about it... She said she's fine with not being paid for coming! The main thing is to have more scenes with Shen Ci as the rival..."

Director: “…”

Play, play, play with you ghosts!

Although the psychological activities were intense, the director still succumbed to capital...

These big guys were willing to pay to play the second male lead. Thanks to them, this low-budget drama has already made its money back before filming even started...

What shocked the director the most was why the legendary Yunxiao Group President also called to say he wanted to participate?! He must be an outsider...

The director could only discuss with the screenwriter in tears about modifying the script, and included all the bigwigs who called in.

Of course, considering that they are in the same situation as Yang Qi and have not acted in many dramas before, the scriptwriters were half-starved and had to force some simple roles in for them to make guest appearances. The specific performances were left to the big guys to improvise.

The final second male role was given to Wei Shuo, who was the most suitable for the role.

However, they just happened to have a legitimate reason to modify the script and add a cross-dressing segment!

The director and screenwriter are ready to go. They have been tortured to death by revising the script these days. They must get their money back!

***

Within a few days, Shen Ci and others were informed of the script changes, as well as the addition and removal of characters.

Shen Ci was delighted to see Wei Shuo join the cast, but at the same time, he began to have deeper doubts about the future of the show.

The casting is getting more and more chaotic, it's bound to be a mess...

"By the way, there is a plot today that requires everyone to march in a square formation during a sports meeting. Everyone has to wear the special clothes we provide." The director smiled lightly, as if it was nothing unusual.

Several leading actors who had no idea that they were about to be harmed nodded ignorantly and were pushed into the fitting room one after another.

Shen Ci walked in, picked up the costume, and his face turned green. He grabbed the little dress in his hand and stormed out: "This must be a mistake!"

All the makeup artists gave him meaningful smiles, which frightened Shen Ci.

"That's right, the plot requires it, put it on quickly!"

The makeup artist closest to him replied with a flushed face, a look that said "I can do it" all over her face.

Shen Ci: “…”

He went in angrily to change, and played with it for more than ten minutes before coming out with his face flushed.

Who on earth could have come up with such a shameful plot!

Yang Xi came out of another fitting room, and the two of them ignored the screams and noisy sounds of the makeup artists around them and held hands tightly like revolutionary comrades who had just met.

When women meet women, their eyes well up with tears.

"Seeing you wearing a short skirt, I feel much more relieved." Yang Xi sniffed and said with emotion.

Shen Ci wiped away his nonexistent tears and sobbed, "Seeing that you look uglier than me, I feel relieved."

As they were talking, Wei Shuo, who was dressed up as a gorgeous flower fairy, came over with a swagger. With a quick move, he cut the two people's hands in half and pulled Xiao Ci to his side.

Shen Ci saw how comfortable he was in women's clothing and asked suspiciously, "Why do you look so experienced?"

Wei Shuo didn't mind it at all, and even felt a little proud: "As a popular and masculine internet celebrity, isn't it normal for me to wear women's clothing as a way to thank my fans? I have worn it several times, and every time I am moved by my own beauty."

Shen Ci: “…”

Yang Xi: "...You are still the most shameless one. I give in."

Shen Ci was still very embarrassed. She pulled down her skirt which was just above her knees and felt a chill on her butt.

"Forget it, forget it, I'll devote myself to art!" He shouted angrily and was about to run to the studio: "It's just women's clothing, it doesn't matter--"

Shen Ci's voice suddenly stopped, and the whole person suddenly froze as if struck by lightning, staring at a place not far away in a daze.

Wei Shuo looked over suspiciously and was so frightened that he almost cried out.

...Why is Uncle Lu here!
