Chapter 107: You are Avenging Yuning
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fu Yahui was so annoyed that she almost threw her cell phone on the floor out of anger. She held back her anger at the last minute and finally decided to call her lawyer again. “Do you really have a way to stop the police from filing the case? Will that stop any impending investigations?”
“If there is no one else backing Jiang Yuning up except for Lawyer Zou, then I think that I might be able to resolve this issue easily. Right now, we do not even know if Jiang Yuning has enough evidence on hand to meet the burden of proof to start a lawsuit against you,” the lawyer quickly replied.
“Alright then. Go and get this resolved for me. I will be waiting for your good news,” Fu Yahui said before directly hanging up the phone.
She was now certain that Jiang Yuning would not let her off so easily but she felt that she still had some control over Huo Zhendong and Huo Yuxi.
All that she could do right now was to hope that the police would not have enough evidence to launch an investigation and when that time comes, she would take her own sweet time to deal with Jiang Yuning for everything that she had done.
However, based on her ability?
She wanted to deal with Jiang Yuning?
…
Ever since Jiang Yuning made the trip to the police station in the morning, the media had been busy trying to investigate and inquire about the reason behind her visit. Jiang Yuning’s fans were also very worried and they were all commenting and posting in the fan group, hoping to get an answer.
Jiang Yuning felt that she could share everything else with her fans and the netizens. However, when it came to matters involving the Jiang family, she felt that she needed to take it seriously and did not want to waste anyone’s time. Therefore, she did not want to make a big issue out of it before the police officially launched an investigation and filed a case against Fu Yahui.
“Sister Yuning, you have your own fan base now. If you do not want to tell them the reason why you went to the police station today, you can divert their attention by commenting on something else. Aren’t you releasing the second issue of the short video, <Xi Yao> soon? You could give your fans a preview of the video. The least that you could do is to give them some assurance that you are alright,” the young paparazzo suggested when he was speaking to Jiang Yuning over the phone.
“Alright, I understand. You are really concerned about my fan base,” Jiang Yuning said as she laughed. “I will make sure to post something online later.”
“Good luck! You will always have my support no matter what happens next!”
Hahaha. The young paparazzo could really be considered her biggest fan.
Jiang Yuning made some adjustments to the video that Ku Jie had sent her. After chatting with Director Shen Guobang, Jiang Yuning had relayed some of his advice to the young paparazzo and this time, they had implemented all his suggestions when shooting the short video. Combined with the incredible storyline that she had for <Xi Yao>, Jiang Yuning was very certain that this video would definitely garner more response from the netizens compared to her previous short video.
After editing the video, Jiang Yuning then uploaded some pictures from the short video onto her public social media account. @JiangJiangLovestheScenery: Who is excited for the next issue of the short video to be uploaded? (^_-)
Jiang Yuning posted three pictures of herself that she had taken during the shooting.
Her fans started responding to her pictures almost immediately after she posted it.
[Wow! Are you finally going to release the second video? I love it. I love it!]
[So, Sister Yuning, you are alright after going to the police station today? You scared me! I was so worried for you.]
[I love you, Sister Yuning! I can’t wait to watch the next short video that you are going to upload on Monday!]
[Oh my god! The traditional Chinese costume embroidered with the dragon is finally coming to live! I am so excited; I don’t think I will be able to sleep tonight. Sister, just upload the video already! (p≧w≦q)]
Very soon, Jiang Yuning’s post became the hot search on the internet. In less than an hour, her pictures had received more than thirty thousand views.
Who could have predicted that this would happen?
The artiste, who was formerly outcasted and cast aside because of her bad reputation, was beginning to rise and she actually had some loyal fans of her own.
It was almost unbelievable that Jiang Yuning was able to find a way to clean up her own reputation and gain her own fans in this competitive entertainment industry where there were new artistes trying to make a name for themselves every single day.
Shen Yichen was sitting in his office and he was very pleased when he saw the pictures posted by Jiang Yuning. Moreover, he had already received so many calls seeking to talk about collaborating with Jiang Yuning after she posted her first short video. However, since Jiang Yuning had wanted to focus on ancient dramas at the moment, there were a lot of resources that they would have to abandon.
Shen Yichen was in an extremely good mood and he was just about to call Jiang Yuning when one of his agents knocked on his office door.
“Director Shen, I have something to discuss with you.”
“Come in and have a seat.” Shen Yichen leaned against the back of his chair as he looked at the agent.
“I would like to know who the agent in charge of managing Jiang Yuning is. Why did she snatch away the resources belonging to my artiste?” The other party was obviously in a very bad mood.
“What resources did she snatch away from your artiste?” Shen Yichen asked casually as he stared at the other person.
“The role of the third female lead in Director Shen Guobang’s upcoming drama, <Mysteries of Heaven>.”
After the agent had spoken, Shen Yichen snorted before he asked, “Are you certain that Jiang Yuning has stolen your artiste’s resources or was Director Shen Guobang perhaps not interested in casting your artiste at all?”
“This…no matter what it is, Jiang Yuning would not have been the best choice. There are so many other amazing actresses in Guangying Media.”
The most important fact was that so many high-quality actresses had attended the interview but Jiang Yuning was the one who got the role in the end. None of them were convinced about this decision because Jiang Yuning had often been criticized for her acting skills.
How was he going to explain this matter to the artiste that he was managing?
“Director Shen Guobang personally made the phone call to ask Jiang Yuning to consider the role of the third female lead in his drama. Are you convinced now? You wanted to know who the agent managing Jiang Yuning is? Well, the answer is me. Would you like to lodge a complaint against me?” Shen Yichen raised his voice as he questioned the agent.
The other party was obviously stunned. He really did not know that Shen Yichen was in fact the exclusive agent for Jiang Yuning.
“Director Shen, that is not what I meant…”
“Then, manage your own artiste and watch what you say in the future. This conversation never happened. Do you understand me?”
The other party was obviously frightened after listening to Shen Yichen’s warning. He nodded lightly before he left the office in a hurry.
What was Jiang Yuning’s background? Why would Shen Yichen take on the job to be her exclusive agent?
Although he was curious, he did not dare to disregard the decision of his own superior. However, he made a mental note to himself to make a detour whenever he met Jiang Yuning in the future.
…
In a blink of an eye, it was already half past six in the evening.
As soon as Lu Jingzhi stepped out of the office building, Secretary Ho quickly walked up to him and said, “Principal, there is someone who would like to meet you.”
“Where is he?”
The secretary pointed at Lu Zongye who was waiting for him across the road.
Lu Jingzhi stared at Lu Zongye with a deep expression in his eyes. He quickly got into the car because it had already started drizzling in Luo City and the sky was getting darker by the minute.
“Ask him to get in the car,” Lu Jingzhi quickly instructed the secretary.
“Okay.” The secretary quickly crossed the road and the driver took the opportunity to drive the car out of the office building.
Lu Zongye quickly opened the car door and got into Lu Jingzhi’s car. Although they were finally meeting again, they were no longer brothers and Lu Zongye’s depressing state only highlighted Lu Jingzhi’s nobleness.
This was life. Lu Zongye had no choice but to accept the fact that some people were simply more blessed than others.
“Second brother, I have been thinking really hard these few days and I finally seem to understand how I had offended you.” Lu Zongye smiled awkwardly as he looked at Lu Jingzhi. “It is all about Yuning, right? You are avenging Yuning.”
“I tried to hurt her many times in the past and you want me to have a taste of my own medicine.”
“I cannot think of any other reason besides Yuning.”
“Yes, it is all about Yuning,” Lu Jingzhi replied faintly as he stared at Lu Zongye. “In order to get justice for her, I will use any means in this world to deal with anyone who has tried hurt her in any way.”
