My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady
Chapter 438: Official Comeback 1

Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Official Comeback 1

On her first day back at the studio, Yuran was greeted by everyone, neatly gathered.

Annan had already graduated and joined the studio directly, and Bai Leyao had also agreed with Bai Shaoyu that she would join Yuran’s studio after her graduation.

When it came to Bai Leyao’s decision, the Bai Family would never interfere.

They chose to respect her decision, after all, she was the little princess and being capricious came as standard.

Yuran, seeing everyone sitting up straight, started to laugh, "Wow, I’m so honored, you all came out to welcome me?"

Bai Leyao stood up, her gaze drifting past Yuran to the outside, "Where’s baby Zhizhi? I’ve missed him so much, why didn’t you bring Zhizhi along?"

Annan followed, looking around, "Yeah, Bo Yan, the great movie star, never leaves your side. How could he let you come to the studio alone? Where’s Zhizhi?"

Yuran: "...so, it seems you can’t even see me, can you?"

Annan tapped Yuran lightly, "It’s not about whether we can see you or not, our main focus is on Zhizhi. Where is Zhizhi?"

Yuran: "... There’s no Zhizhi, just Yuran."

Everyone: "..."

Zhizhi was indeed the studio’s popular idol, loved by everyone in the studio. Whenever Zhizhi came, everyone would fuss over him, afraid he might be even slightly uncomfortable.

Yuran always felt they spoiled him too much, but the response she got was, how could they not spoil someone with angelic good looks? Should they mistreat him?

Couldn’t bear the thought.

Such loyalty.

It was almost... disillusioning...

Like everyone else, Bai Leyao waited for a few minutes; realizing there was no sign of Zhizhi, she gave up, tossed the lollipop she was holding aside, and slumped back into her chair in disappointment, "Yuran, why didn’t you let my dear Zhizhi come to rejuvenate us?"

Yuran, "Is my dear Zhizhi some kind of elixir of immortality?"

Everyone nodded.

Just as Yuran was about to respond, Qi Younian and Kang Zhenyu came out of the office. Seeing everyone gathered together, they raised an eyebrow suspiciously, "What’s going on?"

Everyone scattered like birds and fish.

Yuran, a bit puzzled, asked Bai Leyao, "What’s going on, why is everyone so afraid of him?"

Bai Leyao, in a hushed tone filled with gossip, "Didn’t you know? Lately, Qi Younian’s been like he’s in menopause, quick to lose his temper, very strict. It’s not like itching for a beating, no need to rush in and become cannon fodder."

Yuran: "..."

"What are you framing me for?" Qi Younian approached, rolling up a document into a tube and tapping it on Bai Leyao’s forehead.

Bai Leyao, rubbing her head in annoyance, pointed at Qi Younian, "Boss Qi, why resort to hitting? Who’s been spreading rumors about you?"

Qi Younian raised an eyebrow, "You didn’t? Then why the guilty conscience? Look at your own hands, how they’re shaking."

Bai Leyao glanced down, noticing her fingers subtly curved.

She quickly withdrew her hands and scurried off, "Yuran, I’m going to the bathroom."

Seeing her flee like she was running away, Yuran couldn’t help but laugh and turn to Qi Younian with a smile, "This girl..."

Qi Younian, "Little princess indeed, we really did wrong her."

Yuran raised an eyebrow, "When is Qiuyan coming?"

Qi Younian led her to the office, "Qiuyan messaged that she will arrive at Imperial Capital Airport at eight tonight, and I’ll go pick her up."

Yuran nodded, "That’s good. By the way, has Huanya sent over the script and the audition times?"

"Yes, Annan is handling it. Let me formally tell you, Annan is your agent as well as your assistant, serving only you. As for Qiuyan, I plan to have Brother Kang take her along with Lu Xiao, which should be more than sufficient."

As for Princess Bai Leyao, her assistant and agent are still the same people from before; her brother arranged it, and I don’t plan on looking for others."

Yuran understood. Bai Shaoyu took care of everything concerning Bai Leyao’s food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and after all these years, she had grown accustomed to it.

Since Bai Shaoyu was willing to do such things, they naturally wouldn’t refuse, especially since it was Bai Shaoyu who was funding it.

The door to the office closed, and with only the two of them inside, Qi Younian crossed his arms and smiled, "Now that your wings are full, isn’t it time to consider bankrupting Yinran Entertainment?"

Yuran curved her lips, her smile identical to his, "Now that you’ve reminded me, I too recalled it.

In the past few years, I’ve been too busy to pay attention to matters over there. Oh yes, I forgot one thing, how’s your collection of my death evidence coming along?"

"Your film emperor has already completely gathered it and handed it to me." Qi Younian felt somewhat emotional, "Bo Yan’s efficiency in handling matters is truly high, leaving no room for leeway;

Moreover, in these past two years, Fu Bairan has been like a street rat, barely having any resources, and Yinchao has indeed tried his best to help her. Nearly half of Yinran Entertainment has almost been squandered;

The family fortune you once earned has been squandered by these two people. Thinking about this really makes me..."

Yuran didn’t care. Whatever injuries she had suffered before, Bo Yan had already compensated her many times over after they got together.

Now, thinking about her past experiences didn’t sadden her at all.

However, the hatred still remained, unquenchable.

The most important point was where exactly the real exchange between Fu Bairan and her sister took place and whether Fu Bairan knew where her sister was.

How much does Fu Yuran know about the story behind it, and who is manipulating it?

Yuran said, "Let’s wait for a good day, when everyone is in a good mood, to watch the drama unfold."

Understanding the depth of her words, Qi Younian laughed, "I also know one thing, although Fu Bairan is still with him, behind the scenes, she’s supported by someone else."

It could be that Yinchao truly loves her and doesn’t question where the resources she claims to have come from. Now, the somewhat famous artists at Yinran Entertainment are basically losing money.

Those who remain are just waiting to be bled dry because they can’t afford the penalties for breach of contract.

Yuran’s face was expressionless. "Are they to be pitied?"

Qi Younian’s laugh was mocking and sharp, "Of course they’re not to be pitied."

Yuran smiled, "So, what do other people’s lives have to do with us? If they hadn’t been so opportunistic at the beginning, I wouldn’t have conflicts with them now. But at this point, I really can’t bring myself to forgive them easily.

After all, I’m not the Virgin Mary, am I? If I could feel any old affection towards Yinran Entertainment, you’d have every right to scold me a million times."

Qi Younian didn’t refute, laughing, "Of course I’d scold you, isn’t one fall enough?

Forget it, let’s not talk about these upsetting matters. Once we get approval, we’ll coordinate with Huanya’s public relations department and simultaneously release the news of the new film;

of course, that’s after the lead is confirmed. I heard they’ve got something in mind for your role."

Yuran raised her eyebrows, "Naturally, I have some thoughts. I haven’t yet given Xia Ruyan a surprise; how could I let her snatch the resources she thinks are within easy reach?"

Qi Younian clicked his tongue, "The Crown Princess Consort of the Imperial Community really is different."

Yuran shamelessly agreed, "Just look who’s behind me."
