Chapter 318: 318 Ye Wanlan: You’ve been fired [2 updates]

He certainly knew that Ye Wanlan’s status within the "Treasures of The Divine Land" production team had reached the level where her word was law.

But if it was due to his personal life, wasn’t it a bit too much for Ye Wanlan to go to the director and producer and say something?

Besides, he hadn’t made a huge blunder like Huo Ximian, he was just fulfilling his personal needs, what’s wrong with that?

Ye Wanlan didn’t look at Qi Yunzhao, instead she stared at the two bodyguards, her tone cool, "For the last time, let go."

Tears covered the girl’s face as she looked up in panic, but still tried to make Ye Wanlan leave, "No... don’t, no need to worry about me..."

The two bodyguards glanced at Qi Yunzhao and his manager, noticed neither had any intention of intervening, so they didn’t let go of the girl’s hands, which they were keeping restrained.

Ye Wanlan didn’t say anything more; she simply stepped forward.

She slightly tilted her head and reached out a hand, lightly tapping one of the bodyguard’s shoulders and said in a soft voice, "Hey."

The bodyguard had not turned his head when he suddenly felt numbness in his shoulder.

He let out a cry of pain and was forced to release his grip.

It was at that moment Ye Wanlan pulled the girl behind her and handed her a tissue, "Wipe your tears."

"Thank... thank you!" The girl took the tissue in a fluster, wiping her tears non-stop, "I... I..."

Her heart was filled with fear and also a bit of panic.

If she caused trouble for Qi Yunzhao by being saved by this stranger, what should she do?

"Alright, you go first," Ye Wanlan patted her shoulder again, "You must be hungry at this time, right? The snack street is lively now, go fill your stomach."

"But—" The girl hesitated.

"Go," Ye Wanlan rolled up her sleeves, her expression indifferent, "I can’t make a move while you’re here."

In the end, the girl left that floor.

The two bodyguards’ arms were still numb, unable to move in their spot.

Seeing the prey that was almost theirs slip away, Qi Yunzhao’s expression had completely changed as he spat out through clenched teeth, "Miss Ye, what do you mean by this?"

When he first met Ye Wanlan, certainly, he was taken aback by her beauty and set his sights on her.

But before he could take any action, Huo Ximian made his move, so he held back for the time being.

After all, it wasn’t worth offending Huo Ximian just because of an amateur like Ye Wanlan.

But who would have thought that in the end, Huo Ximian would take a severe fall, vanishing from the public eye in an instant.

After that incident, Qi Yunzhao dared not entertain the idea of targeting Ye Wanlan again.

Another reason was the assistant who was always following Ye Wanlan.

Since Yan Tingfeng always appeared in public with a hat and mask, Qi Yunzhao had not glimpsed his true face.

Even so, he judged from the aura emanating from Yan Tingfeng that he was anything but an ordinary assistant.

In fact, he felt a terrifying danger coming from Yan Tingfeng.

He had shown such respect to Ye Wanlan already, why should she bother with matters that were all too common in the entertainment industry?

Ye Wanlan did not respond to Qi Yunzhao’s question, but simply looked at him calmly, "You’ve been fired."

"Fired?" Qi Yunzhao laughed out of anger, "Miss Ye, you wouldn’t have the production team fire me just because I needed to satisfy my personal needs, would you? Do you really think the production team will listen to whatever you say?"

These third-rate stars should feel honored to catch his eye.

How many female artists were trying everything in their power to cling to his fame, to attach themselves to him, was Ye Wanlan also planning to meddle in that?

It was none of her business!

Ye Wanlan paid no mind to the furious Qi Yunzhao and turned to go downstairs.

At this moment, the director and Producer Liu were still discussing important matters concerning the production team.

When the door was knocked, the director got up to open it, "Miss Ye? It’s so late, haven’t you rested?"

"Hmm, I just happened to come across something." Ye Wanlan set down her phone, "Take a look at this."

A surveillance video automatically played, showing the scene of Qi Yunzhao instructing his manager to forcibly bring a young artist from a neighboring crew to his room.

The director’s and Producer Liu’s faces grew increasingly grim.

"This Qi Yunzhao!" The director slammed the table and shouted, "It’s one thing to be unscrupulous in private life, but to actually commit the act of kidnapping a civilian girl."

Producer Liu also contained his anger, "If this were ancient times, he’d be sentenced to death or drowned in a pig’s cage."

They had been in the entertainment industry for over twenty years and knew it was always chaotic. However, if it was a matter of mutual consent, they could do nothing about it.

But this time, Qi Yunzhao had completely exposed his vile nature.

Ye Wanlan spoke dispassionately, "He should be grateful that it’s not ancient times."

"Exactly!" Qingyun Pendant said indignantly, "If it were three hundred years ago, Lord Prince Yan would have decapitated him with a single sword strike!"

Jade Luan Pin refused to be outdone, "Sword Saint Xie Linyuan could have done it, too!"

The two antiquities started arguing again over who was stronger between King of Yan He Jia and Sword Saint Xie Linyuan.

Ye Wanlan: "...Shut up."

"But I, I, I didn’t say anything?" The director pointed to his own nose, completely baffled, "Could it be, could it be something’s wrong with my mouth?"

"It wasn’t you I was referring to." Ye Wanlan pressed her temples and nodded slightly.

Producer Liu was extremely anxious: "I... I don’t think I said anything either."

However, he actually began to doubt whether he had spoken or not.

"I wasn’t talking about you two, let’s get back to the matter at hand." Ye Wanlan nodded slightly, "In recent days, Qi Yunzhao didn’t have many scenes anyway; we can just cut them out. Someone like him shouldn’t stay in the production crew."

Producer Liu’s expression became a bit stern: "Miss Ye’s point makes sense, but since Qi Yunzhao is from Shengshi Entertainment, I’m afraid that Sheng Entertaiment might—"

"Not necessary." Ye Wanlan took out her phone, "I’ll just say the word."

"..."

The room went silent for a few seconds after she spoke.

The director and Producer Liu once again looked at each other, eyes wide and confused.

"Sister Lan!" The call connected, and Fang Qingli’s tone was very cheerful, "Why did you call me specifically, is there something urgent you need?"

"I have evidence against Qi Yunzhao; he’s breached our morality clause, he’s the one who violated the contract." Ye Wanlan spoke indifferently, "As for what follows, let Shengshi Entertainment handle it."

"Got it!" Fang Qingli responded immediately, "I thought this would drag on for a while longer, but it seems he couldn’t hold back after all."

"Mhm, dragging this on isn’t good for the show either." Ye Wanlan nodded, "Have the legal department on standby, if he wants to sue, the company will see it through to the end."

Fang Qingli agreed and started to contact the person in charge at Shengshi Entertainment to resolve the issue.

After the call ended, the director and Producer Liu still had their eyes opened wide as bells.

Ye Wanlan thought for a moment and then explained: "A few months ago, President Quan gave Shengshi Entertainment to me, but the company structure hasn’t changed, it still operates the same as before."

Director: "..."

Producer Liu: "..."

Shengshi Entertainment was one of the top three entertainment giants, with countless artists under its banner, and it also sent a lot of actors into the international entertainment industry.

Ye Wanlan was actually the current ruler of Shengshi Entertainment?

In front of her, then Qi Yunzhao was just an employee?!

The reason Qi Yunzhao was so arrogant, going directly after the female artist he had his eye on, was because he had the backing of Shengshi Entertainment, wasn’t it?

But even the entirety of Shengshi Entertainment belonged to Ye Wanlan.

What did that make Qi Yunzhao?

Producer Liu felt refreshed: "With Miss Ye here, indeed there is no need for too much concern, and it was he who violated the contract first, the show doesn’t owe him any compensation."

The director scratched his head: "No wonder Miss Ye had previously reminded me to shoot Qi Yunzhao’s footage separately so that it wouldn’t affect the editing process in the future."

Ye Wanlan hummed faintly in response.

She indeed had been waiting for Qi Yunzhao to reveal his true colors, and fortunately, she hadn’t had to wait too long.

**

On the other side, the agent was also a bit angry, but more relieved: "Yunzhao, I just fear that Ye Wanlan is not one to keep to herself, what if she goes public with your business."

"Let her tell, will my fans believe her?" Qi Yunzhao scoffed, "She asks the show to fire me, and the show will really kick me out? Who does she think she is?"

"Ding dong!"

The phone’s ring cut through the air, and the agent casually picked it up to take a look, but his expression changed drastically in an instant.

Just thirty seconds ago, the official Weibo account of Treasures of The Divine Land had made a post.

[@TreasuresofTheDivineLandOfficialV: The show has now terminated the contract with Mr. Qi Yunzhao and deleted all his footage!]

This post instantly caused an uproar, making Weibo crash for several seconds.

Since the start of Treasures of The Divine Land, its popularity was sky-high.

With Qi Yunzhao’s super-celebrity status, the hashtag quickly trended.

[?? What did Qi Yunzhao do this time?]

[It’s so sudden late at night, are there any brothers and sisters in South City who know what’s going on inside?]

[Could it be that the show is a killer of top celebrities? Invite one top celebrity and lose one.]

Most netizens were eager to watch the excitement and learn about the issue.

Qi Yunzhao’s fans were ignited with rage, and they directly stormed the show’s official Weibo.

[@Yunzhao’sLittlePaddedJacket: What exactly does the Treasures of The Divine Land production team mean? Didn’t you invite a top celebrity as a guest because you valued the heat they bring?
