Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Xie Cheng Brand Detector

Qi Younian nodded and reiterated Yuran’s concerns, while Xuan Ze slightly raised his eyebrows, looking at Yuran with interest, "Why choose now to tell me? If you had signed the contract and then it came out, I wouldn’t be able to replace you; by telling me now, aren’t you worried that I might replace you?"

Yuran met his gaze and nodded, "I thought about it, but I believe being honest now will establish a more solid trust between us. As investors and producers, you naturally have the right to make changes.

As for me, even if you replace me, I can understand. Online public opinion is the least controllable. Nobody knows how much a small issue can escalate, so I think it’s appropriate to clarify things before shooting and signing the contract."

Xuan Ze looked at her with a somewhat amused expression, "You really are different from other artists. Being this honest is good, but also not good in this industry."

"I know." Yuran nodded, "But one must have principles and bottom lines in life."

Xuan Ze nodded in understanding, "Alright, I’ll keep this in mind, and I’ll inform you of the result later. For now, you can go back first."

Qi Younian continued with the earlier topic, "Didn’t you say you would talk about your issues later? What have you been through to look so haggard?"

Putting aside work, the two were almost friends. Hearing this, Xuan Ze sighed, "Internal conflicts at RSM. Damn it, it’s turning my hair white. Those foreign investors’ ideals don’t align with ours, causing quite a disruption."

Among the three giants, RSM has a unique structure, made up of eighteen shareholders, almost half of whom are foreign investors, making its operations particularly fragmented despite being a giant.

Looking at his resentful expression, Qi Younian suggested, "RSM was lucky to become one of the giants, but in terms of strength compared to the other two, it really is... indescribable. Why don’t you consider going solo? Your team is one of the best in RSM.

You have no worries about securing sponsors; why stick around in RSM? I think in another two years, RSM might just fall apart."

Xuan Ze raised an eyebrow, "You think I haven’t thought about that? I’m already slowly pulling out capital."

Qi Younian: "..."

...

Bo Yan brought the last dish to the table, glanced at the wall clock, and quietly walked into the living room to sit on the sofa and wait.

After watching TV for a while, he returned to the dining table, touched the sides of the bowls to check their temperature. Although the heating was on, the food cooled down quickly. As time passed and half an hour went by, Yuran hadn’t returned yet.

His brows furrowed tightly, he reached for his phone several times, thinking of calling but then feeling it wasn’t quite right. He hesitated several times before finally making the call.

But...

[Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later...]

After several attempts, the mechanical female voice remained the same, and on the last attempt, it even indicated that the phone had been turned off.

Bo Yan’s expression shifted slightly as he stared at his phone for a while then dialed Xie Cheng, who picked up quickly, "Bo Da Movie Star, what’s up so late at night?"

So his own phone was working fine!

Bo Yan thought, and without saying a word, he hung up the phone.

Xie Cheng, confused by receiving a call that was probably dialed by mistake, was left bewildered, "..."

Looking at the three dishes and one soup on the table, Bo Yan lost his appetite. He paced restlessly around the room and stopped in front of the French windows, recalling whether he had ever told Yuran that he was cooking.
