Chapter 225: Chapter 225 A Mysterious Phone Call

Throughout the opening ceremony, Sheng Shuai clung to Ye Shu the entire time.

He tried every trick in the book to help her, regretting only that he couldn’t stick himself to her and use her as a stepping stone for his own fame in the entertainment industry.

Unfortunately for him, Ye Shu never bought into it.

After returning from the opening ceremony, Ye Shu felt like she was about to fall apart.

Not only was the event exhausting with its ups and downs, but she also had to endure Sheng Shuai’s constant presence, which tired her immensely.

Luckily, she managed to escape when Handsome B was surrounded by a group of entertainment reporters asking for private interviews, ditching that incredibly annoying plaster.

The moment she got back to her suite at the Han Zong Hotel, she immediately threw herself onto the bed and lay there like a corpse!

Ye Xinyu left the venue fuming!

Why was Ye Shu so lucky? Why did everyone favor Ye Shu? Especially Sun Nanjue, who was clearly using the popularity of "Nine Lives Demon Phoenix" to promote Ye Shu.

That was just outrageous!

Thinking this, Ye Xinyu stormed into Sun Nanjue’s office.

She arrived just as Sun Nanjue was instructing his assistant about the launching ceremony for "Dynasty."

Unable to contain her anger, she marched forward, pushed aside his assistant, and slammed her hand on Sun Nanjue’s table, "Sun Nanjue, what are you trying to do? Both films are directed by you, so why are you channeling all resources to promote Ye Shu?"

"Are you deliberately trying to reduce the ratings of ’Nine Lives Demon Phoenix’ to make me lose money? If I lose money, you’ll lose money too! How does that benefit you? Do you really think that Ye Shu, being a newcomer, can star in a blockbuster film? Wake up!"

...

Sun Nanjue, with his long legs casually crossed, watched Ye Xinyu as if she was a joke, "Is it so unusual for me, Sun Nanjue, to give a break to newcomers?"

...

Ye Xinyu was suddenly at a loss for words; everyone knew that Sun Nanjue loved casting newcomers in his films.

His instinct for talent was unparalleled, and newcomers chosen by him usually rose to stardom instantly. Thus, the female leads picked by him were called ’Jue Girls’; even the least successful among these ’Jue Girls’ was now a second-tier actress.

"So what?" retorted Ye Xinyu. "Can’t you see how popular ’Nine Lives Demon Phoenix’ is right now? Turning down guaranteed money to take on unknown risks, don’t you find it ludicrous?"

"Ye Xinyu, if you were smarter, you’d read more books, and I wouldn’t waste my breath. In one sentence—both professionally and personally, Ye Shu is my best choice. As for you... think about how you can improve your IQ and acting skills before discussing making money with me."

Saying this, Sun Nanjue gestured for Ye Xinyu to leave.

Ye Xinyu’s face turned pale with rage, her lips pressed tightly as she glared at him, refusing to leave.

At that moment, Sun Nanjue’s assistant received a phone call and whispered something to Sun Nanjue.

Sun Nanjue nodded, and while walking out with his assistant, he said, "You better leave now, because if anything is missing from my office, you’ll be responsible." Then he walked away.

Ye Xinyu, red-faced and furious, watched Sun Nanjue leave. She was just about to swipe everything off his desk when suddenly, the landline on Sun Nanjue’s desk rang.

Startled, Ye Xinyu glanced around, made sure no one was there, and answered the phone, instinctively saying "Hello?"

"Hmm?" The caller seemed puzzled, but after a few seconds, continued, "You’re Sun Nanjue’s assistant, right?"

"Yes!" Ye Xinyu nodded.

"Pass a message to Sun Nanjue for me, tell him to change the date of the new film’s launch ceremony. Someone plans to harm Ye Shu at the event."

Harm Ye Shu? Ye Xinyu’s heart raced, "Who are you?"

"Who I am doesn’t matter; what matters is that you must inform Sun Nanjue, or Ye Shu’s life might be in danger."

The caller then hung up.

Listening to the busy tone in the receiver, Ye Xinyu’s face transitioned from turmoil to calm, and finally, a cruel determination set in.
