“Can a chicken compare to a human?”
“Alright, alright. The supporting actress is impressive with her methods. She deserves to get such resources!”
All kinds of nasty words came out.
Although the marketing account did not specify her name, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was Liang Xinran.
Liang Xinran did not have many diehard fans to begin with, so it was very difficult for her to form a combat strength and quarrel with others. Moreover, it was not good to rush into a quarrel in such a situation. After all, they did not mention her name.
However, if they did not argue, they would have to let these people scold them. This would affect Liang Xinran very badly.
Her agent was hopping mad. “What’s so great about having a marketing account? I want to see if Shangguan Yinyin did this.”
“It shouldn’t be her. She wouldn’t be so arrogant since we had something on her. Lihuan Ruoyi probably bought it herself.” Liang Xinran was usually hot-tempered, but when faced with such a situation, she was no longer anxious.
It was mainly because she was in this industry and often played supporting roles. It was normal for her to be scolded.
“Then we can’t be scolded like this. Why don’t we just give the marketing account some money and settle it?”
“Stuffing in money isn’t an option either,” Liang Xinran said.
“What are you talking about?” Gu Jingyuan pushed the door open and entered.
“N-nothing.” Liang Xinran immediately put away her phone.
She was used to being scolded, but she knew that outsiders were not used to such things.
Especially Gu Jingyuan. He had probably never seen such an ugly scolding battle. It was better not to involve him.
Gu Jingyuan was good at reading people. He placed his hands on the table and asked, “What exactly is going on?”
Liang Xinran was already sitting down, so her aura was much weaker than his.
When he asked that, she couldn’t hold it in any longer. “Someone paid for marketing accounts to scold me. It was an ugly one. We’re trying to figure out how to fix it. But it’s all part of my job. You’d better not read it. The manager and I will fix it.”
“Let me take a look.” Gu Jingyuan’s aura was completely different from his gentle state.
“I really will sort myself out—”
“Hm?”
Liang Xinran obediently handed over her phone.
Gu Jingyuan glanced at it and his expression changed drastically. “You get scolded like this often?”
“Actually, I’m usually scolded a lot less. I haven’t reached that level yet. People have to be important enough to be scolded.”
“Does it affect much?”
“Actually, it would be fine if it was usually. But now that it’s like this, I’m afraid it won’t be good for the production team. That’s why I’m thinking of a way to resolve it with my manager.”
Gu Jingyuan understood and said, “What’s Shangguan Yinyin’s number?”
“I don’t know,” Liang Xinran said honestly.
Her manager said, “I have it here. 135—”
Gu Jingyuan took the manager’s phone and called Shangguan Yinyin.
Shangguan Yinyin’s voice came from the other side.
“Shangguan Yinyin, I’m Liang Xinran’s assistant. You only apologized and left last time. This isn’t enough to make up for your mistake.”
“What do you want?” Shangguan Yinyin’s tone was cold.
“Deal with Lihuan Ruoyi’s articles. Otherwise, I’ll replace it with your lip print incident!”
“You!” Shangguan Yinyin was furious. “If I help you solve it once, there will be two more times. Will I be the one to solve Liang Xinran’s problems in the future?”
“I’m not asking you to resolve anything else, but this is essentially something you caused. You have to resolve it. Anything that comes out of this in the future is up to you. Do you understand?”
Shangguan Yinyin was furious.
Gu Jingyuan hung up the phone.
The manager just wanted to applaud him. However, she was still a little hesitant. “I wonder if Shangguan Yinyin will agree?”
“Did you do everything when I asked you to record the entire lip print incident and keep all the evidence?”
“It’s all done. Everything’s saved, the backups are still there,” the manager said immediately.
“Wouldn’t that do? Let Shangguan Yinyin clean up her own mess.”
The manager sighed in admiration.
Although Shangguan Yinyin was extremely angry, she still called her manager over to discuss.
The two of them discussed for a long time and still felt that since such a big piece of evidence was in Liang Xinran’s hands, they had to resolve it even if they did not want to. They only hoped that they would keep their word and not keep threatening her with this matter.
Shangguan Yinyin still had some connections in the circle. She spent money and put in a lot of effort. In the end, she managed to get rid of all the unethical articles that had yet to fully ferment. She even spent money to make some arrangements so that they would at least not be unethical during the filming of Wind and Rain.
The marketing accounts were being paid to do things anyway. It was just as well that they were paid to not do anything.
The matter was finally resolved peacefully.
Lihuan Ruoyi had spent money to cause trouble for Liang Xinran. When she heard from the marketing account that the production team of “Wind and Rain” was spending money to deal with this matter, she understood in her heart that it was fine to hate on Liang Xinran. However, if the implications were too great and the impact was too wide, it would not be good.
So she subsided too.
Liang Xinran was no longer being criticized. Her manager really admired Gu Jingyuan for resolving such a big matter so easily.
She was in the entertainment industry and always thought of things in a complicated way. On the other hand, Gu Jingyuan’s method of tracing the source was simply overwhelming.
***
Shi Jin only found out that so many things had happened during the casting of Wind and Rain after Liang Xinran mentioned it.
“That’s right. If Jingyuan hadn’t come over, I would have been in trouble.” Liang Xinran still had a lingering fear when she mentioned the situation at that time.
“Indeed, your background in the entertainment industry isn’t deep enough. If you make a fool of yourself and have a scandal, it will definitely be all over the news. Now look, Shangguan Yinyin made a fool of herself with conclusive evidence, but I didn’t hear anything about it. It can be seen that everyone is still afraid of her background and doesn’t want to offend her company. That’s why she’s fearless.”
“Yeah. So first, I’m glad Jingyuan came in time to help me solve the problem, and second, I’m glad I had to ask for an explanation at the time. Otherwise, my reputation would have been ruined without me knowing.”
Shi Jin looked at her with a smile. “You keep talking about Big Brother. Is your relationship completely confirmed now?”
Liang Xinran said frankly, “That’s right. He even took the initiative.”
Shi Jin was also very happy for her. “Anyway, my big brother is very nice. You’ve picked up a treasure.”
Shi Jin was actually deliberately praising Gu Jingyuan. Logically speaking, others should feel a little uncomfortable when they heard this. Was she not a treasure that Gu Jingyuan picked up too?
However, Liang Xinran didn’t think much of it at all. She said, “That’s right, that’s right. He’s so manly and handsome. I’m really glad that I took a fancy to him at first sight and made up my mind to make him my boyfriend!”
