Chapter 44: Chapter 44: The Beginning of the Scandal

"Are you and Song Chi really not dating?"

At the event, Zhou Yun ran into Lew Qingqing, with whom she had previously recorded a program.

Zhou Yun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"I’ve clarified this many times already, Sister Qingqing."

"It’s because you two always trend on social media." Lew Qingqing looked over with a sideways glance, then asked, "Or are you two in some kind of collaboration? Are you doing marketing together?"

"It’s truly a coincidence, Song Chi wouldn’t do marketing with me." Zhou Yun pointed at her own face, "Sister Qingqing, would you choose someone like me for marketing, someone who couldn’t offer you any help at all?"

Lew Qingqing nodded in agreement, saying, "That’s true."

Zhou Yun sighed in relief internally.

"But it’s still so strange." Lew Qingqing shook her head, reflecting, "Has Song Chi changed his nature? He is even interacting with you now."

Zhou Yun hadn’t expected that everyone was questioning this point.

She didn’t know just how aloof and cautious Song Chi had been before.

After the event, Lew Qingqing suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, I heard that your company is preparing a new drama, and they even sent me an audition invitation."

Zhou Yun was startled, asking, "What drama?"

Lew Qingqing observed Zhou Yun’s facial expression, which seemed genuine, and asked, "You don’t know about it? The one called ’Spring Cold’, a historical court drama. I thought they would first try it with the artists from your own company. Isn’t this drama your company’s biggest production this year? I heard they spent ten million just to buy the IP, and the novel was extremely popular. Nearly every female artist is eyeing this drama."

Zhou Yun smiled somewhat reluctantly and said, "Maybe my schedule didn’t fit, so my agent didn’t tell me about it."

Lew Qingqing seemed to believe him, "That makes sense, you must have many external offers coming to you now."

After the event ended, Zhou Yun directly asked Zhou Lan, "What’s the deal with ’Spring Cold’?"

Zhou Lan wasn’t surprised, as if she had expected Zhou Yun to find out about this.

"You heard?"

"Lew Qingqing directly asked me about it, and I didn’t even know," Zhou Yun said coldly, "I wasn’t aware that our company was preparing such a big production."

Zhou Lan sighed softly.

"The drama is indeed very notable, but the company didn’t intend for you to be in it."

"Why?" Zhou Yun asked, "With so many female roles in that drama, everyone knows it’s a contender for drama of the year. Even minor roles like palace maids are coveted, and they can’t find a role for me?"

Zhou Lan looked at Zhou Yun with difficulty, hesitated, and then said, "The company wants you to take the sweet romance drama from Yuehai Network."

Zhou Yun stared at Zhou Lan incredulously.

"Why is that?"

"They offered a very high salary, and at the same time, agreed to give the company three major supporting roles," Zhou Lan explained, "You know that the company has signed many newcomers, they need exposure."

"So I’m being sacrificed?" Zhou Yun couldn’t help sneering, "I never thought that I now have the capacity to package roles for others."

Zhou Lan: "Don’t worry, I haven’t agreed yet, I’m still communicating with the company."

"Does communication even help?"

Zhou Lan was silent.

Zhou Yun: "I don’t have the right to refuse anyway, do I?"

Zhou Lan sighed softly.

"Sister Lan, tell me the truth, is Ruxue the main candidate for the female lead in ’Spring Cold’?"

"It hasn’t been finalized yet, but... she is the one the company is primarily considering."

"She doesn’t want me in that drama, right?"

A cold glint flickered in Zhou Yun’s eyes.
