Chapter 110: Counterattack! President of the World Bank [2 more updates]

Nie Shuangyi? Not a bad name, no such person in the entertainment circle, how dare they pair up Zhou Chengyu, a Grand Slam best actor, as a supporting role?

Hiss... How powerful are the backers of this female star? Even a Grand Slam best actor is coming to play a supporting role.

In short, once capital fully invades, the drama "Annus Mirabilis" is finished, disgustingly annoying, I can’t bear to watch it anymore.

Brothers and sisters, I have a method. Let’s dig up some more dirt according to these materials and then report it. That way, the "Annus Mirabilis" crew won’t even think about filming, and everyone will be happy.

Under Ye Jialing’s Weibo, there were quite a few pictures attached, deliberately portraying Nie Shuangyi as a star who exchanged her body for opportunities to rise up.

Song Lingyi took a deep breath, obviously angered, "Such dirty tactics!"

She had been in the entertainment circle for more than twenty years, developed many artists, and had seen a lot of storms, facing more critical incidents than this one.

Fake black material is nothing, easy to deal with in PR, but Song Lingyi has always despised those who create sexual rumors about women.

"Sister Song, don’t be angry, keep calm," Ye Wanlan was very calm, "Let Shuangyi continue to shoot behind-the-scenes footage, don’t let this disrupt us. Ye Jialing’s exposure is ninety percent false, one percent true, but it’s precisely this one truth that will mislead the netizens."

The fact that Ye Jialing and Nie Shuangyi were roommates is true; they both graduated from Jiangcheng Drama Academy.

"You make sense, I’ll have the legal department get ready," Song Lingyi sneered, "To start rumors about my artist, they really don’t know what’s good for them!"

Ye Wanlan took out her phone, found Director Guan’s phone number from Sky Emperor Media, and made the call.

The other side picked up almost instantly, "Chairman Ye?"

"Director Guan, I previously said you were a smart person. Now it seems you’re not doing enough," Ye Wanlan spoke indifferently.

That sentence made Guan Yulong break out into a cold sweat. He left the meeting he was in, stood up, and left the conference room: "Chairman Ye, why would you say that?"

"You can’t manage your subordinates’ mouths, so I will," Ye Wanlan’s tone was cool, "But if I handle this matter, the outcome will be entirely different, take care of yourself."

Guan Yulong got anxious, "Chairman Ye... you... explain what happened first? I..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the call was cut off, leaving only the cold "beep beep" tone.

"What big incident happened today?" Guan Yulong immediately called his secretary, "Tell me everything related to Shengshi Entertainment, without missing a single word!"

The secretary stuttered for a moment before speaking, "It’s... it’s Ye Jialing who exposed Nie Shuangyi’s dark material online, and she also insinuated that Nie Shuangyi has an affair with the boss of Sheng Entertainment."

Guan Yulong’s vision darkened: "Is she insane?!"

Shengshi Entertainment easily replaced the main actress of "Annus Mirabilis", and he let them take Nie Shuangyi without asking for a termination fee—doesn’t that represent the stance of Sky Emperor Entertainment?

Does Ye Jialing not have any brains?

Until now, Guan Yulong hasn’t been able to find out who this Chairman Ye is, but a person who could make Quan Zhaoning directly give away Shengshi Entertainment, even if she isn’t his illegitimate daughter, her identity must not be taken lightly.

Of course, he couldn’t assume that just because she was young, she would be easy to handle.

He wouldn’t have reached his current position if he had any arrogance; he would have been dead without a place to be buried long ago!

"Director Guan, the matter is being dealt with," the secretary also couldn’t understand Ye Jialing’s behavior, "It’s probably because the main actress was replaced, and the company didn’t help her with the aftermath, that’s why she started to go crazy."

"If she had just focused on her acting instead of pulling on someone else’s necklace, would this have happened?" Guan Yulong cursed loudly, "A 36 million necklace, she pulled it off just like that, does she think she is the President of the World Bank? Does she believe she is the World’s Richest?"

The secretary carefully asked, "Then, Director Guan, should I have the company terminate her contract now?"

"Terminate what contract? Don’t terminate!" Guan Yulong sneered, "Keep a close eye on her contract, she won’t be able to go anywhere."

The secretary couldn’t help but shiver.

This was to completely freeze her career, much more ruthless than terminating her contract. At least if her contract was terminated, Ye Jialing would have other places to go. Now, she was completely finished.

**

The legal department of Shengshi Entertainment moved quickly, in just two hours they clarified all past incidents involving Ye Jialing and Nie Shuangyi.

"Chairman Ye, she’s grafting incidents that happened to herself onto Shuangyi," Song Lingyi said coldly, "Let’s release the evidence directly to clarify."

"Wait a bit longer," Ye Wanlan narrowed her eyes, "First release the behind-the-scenes footage of the scene between Shuangyi and Teacher Zhou."

Song Lingyi was somewhat surprised, "Not going to clarify first?"

"No," Ye Wanlan slightly smiled, "It’s true netizens are waiting for the clarification, but we haven’t reached the critical moment yet. Now, if we release the behind-the-scenes first, it will increase the enthusiasm even more. Then, after attracting more people, we will release the clarification."

Song Lingyi thought about it and felt this was indeed the case, "Alright, I’ll have the crew release the footage right away."

While netizens were gathering under the official Weibo of "Annus Mirabilis" and Nie Shuangyi’s Weibo to curse, Nie Shuangyi remained unmoved like a mountain, and the crew leisurely released a preview of the behind-the-scenes footage.

[@Official Weibo of Annus MirabilisV: With integrity and clean sleeves! Let’s see how court official Qi Xinyue @Nie ShuangyiV writes her life story.]

The video was only two minutes long, presenting a climax scene from the book.

Qi Xinyue, dressed as a man, enters the Imperial Court but is framed by those with ulterior motives and thrown into prison, where she meets the male lead for the first time.

In this encounter, not only do the two characters resonate emotionally and mentally, but it also marks the clash between the Imperial Court and Jianghu.

[Releasing a teaser now to try to whitewash? Not a chance, I won’t watch.]

[No, wait... Nie Shuangyi really seems to be acting well, damn, she caught Zhou Chengyu’s acting!]

[It’s true! Watching the two of them acting together, I actually got goosebumps, as if I was dragged into the drama, experiencing it firsthand.]

[I just have one question, with such good acting skills Nie Shuangyi is streets ahead of many popular young actresses and actors, how come she isn’t famous yet?]

In just ten minutes, the views for the behind-the-scenes teaser reached a staggering five hundred thousand.

More and more netizens clicked into the video, and after watching it, they all felt like they wanted more.

But still, there were people who weren’t convinced.

"Can good acting really cover up a bad character? Climbing up the ladder on the backs of others, how vile!"

"Bullying classmates during university, and a mere behind-the-scenes clip whitewashes it all? The cost of this whitewashing seems too cheap."

Behind the scenes, Ye Wanlan half-closed her eyes as she watched the heat index rise higher and higher, showing that it had not yet peaked.

But without a doubt, this behind-the-scenes teaser had already won Nie Shuangyi a wave of fans.

Her phone suddenly vibrated, and Ye Wanlan looked down at the group chat.

"World’s Richest":[Image]

"World’s Richest": Does it look good?

"Ghostbuster Bro": It looks great. This bracelet, paired with Rich Sister’s wrist, is the world’s most perfect piece of art.

"World’s Richest": As long as it looks good. It cost me fifty-five million.

"Ghostbuster Bro": ...How much?

"YN": ...

Ye Wanlan stared at this bracelet and couldn’t help but feel that sometimes life was indeed full of coincidences.

This bracelet was part of a set with the necklace that Yeh Jialing had destroyed, which she had kept as an exhibit.

But she had also clearly instructed Cheng Qingli that if someone offered a high price, it could be sold for funds.

After all, Pulling the Sky Company was still in the early stages of operations and needed funds.

Yet, Ye Wanlan had not expected that this necklace would be bought by someone from her chat group.

And for such a bizarrely high price at that.

Ye Wanlan had swindled many people, but this time she even felt that she had swindled the World’s Richest.

"World’s Richest": Does YN like it? I’ll have my subordinate ask if there are any more, and I’ll buy you one as well. People of Shenzhou are really impressive.

"Ghostbuster Bro": Damn it, I want one too!

"World’s Richest": What use does a big man who dresses in beggar’s clothes every day have for a bracelet?

"Ghostbuster Bro": For this bracelet, I could dress in drag.

"YN": You really like Shenzhou’s traditional jewelry?

"World’s Richest": I really like such exquisite artworks.

"YN": Alright, I got it.

Ye Wanlan left the chat group and added a new item to her plans—

Create a set of jewelry for the World’s Richest.

She joined this chat group at the age of eight, and although she had never met a few people from the group face-to-face, their goals were aligned.

At the age of thirteen, they made a pact to each reach the pinnacle in their respective fields at the Global Center within five years.

Ye Wanlan fell silent.

It’s just a pity that she had lost four years of time and was doomed to break the promise.

Just as she put down her pen, a call came in.

"Sister Lan, we met a big client this morning!" Cheng Qingli was enthusiastic, "Our bracelet, priced at eleven million and costing three million to produce, was bought by the other party for five times its price, and they even sent a plane to pick it up."

Ye Wanlan sighed, "I already know."

"Huh?" Cheng Qingli was confused, "Sister Lan, how do you know? You didn’t really open your third eye, did you?"

Ye Wanlan hummed, "Acquaintance. That’s how she buys things."

Never looking at the price, only following her preferences.

Cheng Qingli couldn’t hide her envy, "When will I ever reach such a level?"

After seriously considering it, Ye Wanlan told her, "When you become the President of the World Bank."

Cheng Qingli: "...I guess dreaming will get me there faster."

"Chairman Ye, it’s just as you expected." Song Lingyi approached, "Data shows that the heat index from this incident is even higher than the last necklace affair."

"Alright," Ye Wanlan clasped her hands, "Now, we can release all the evidence for clarification."

Song Lingyi complied, executing the steps according to Ye Wanlan’s instructions.

"Chairman Ye, Sister Song." The agent assistant spoke up in surprise, "Teacher Zhou actually posted on Weibo?"

Zhou Chengyu, who hadn’t logged into Weibo in ages, reposted one of the most vitriolic tweets.

"@Zhou ChengyuV: Little Junior Sister, as expected //@Yanyu Luo: Nie Shuangyi, an eighteenth-tier wild chicken actress, also deserves Zhou Chengyu as her partner? Who do you think you are?"

Weibo instantly crashed.
