Chapter 584: 584 Deadly Poison Master! Self-Destruct Identity [2 more]

Song Lingyi had worked with numerous artists and had encountered a few stars with severe character flaws. Wei Qingyao could even be considered normal within the circle.

In the dog-eat-dog world of the entertainment industry, knowing how to read the room was an extremely important skill.

Wei Qingyao was also adept at flattering the powerful and stepping on the weak. Those she couldn’t afford to provoke, she would always treat with the utmost respect.

But it was precisely this kind of character that was destined to have her clash with Ye Wanlan, who had no tolerance for those who relied on status and privilege to bully others.

Song Lingyi felt no sympathy for Wei Qingyao’s current predicament, as everything was a direct result of her own doing.

Taking shortcuts could indeed yield quick results, but if one never improved their own abilities and continually looked for the easy way out, there would come a day when the ground beneath their feet would collapse, leading to an unrecoverable downfall.

Wei Qingyao’s face turned deathly pale in an instant. Her lips quivered, and her voice wavered, "Song... Sister Song, what... what are you talking about? I... I don’t understand?"

"Wei Qingyao, you met Chairman Ye today and specifically went up to provoke and belittle him, didn’t you?" Song Lingyi chuckled lightly, "Do you think that since Xinghe lets you provoke her, the others in Sheng Entertainment are even less significant in your eyes? Is that why you were so bold? But what made you think that Chairman Ye would let you bully her as well?"

With a "boom," it was as if thunder had struck beside her ear, leaving Wei Qingyao’s mind completely blank.

She couldn’t believe what she was hearing, yet the reality was forcing her to accept it.

The newly appointed chairman of Sheng Entertainment from a year ago was Ye Wanlan?

How old was Ye Wanlan when Sheng Entertainment changed hands last year?

Merely a student who hadn’t even started her senior year of high school!

Wei Qingyao felt dizzy, an intense feeling of weightlessness overtook her, and her internal organs seemed to churn together, making her unsteady on her feet.

Indeed, as Song Lingyi said, she had just provoked as usual.

She was very self-aware and definitely would not mess with anyone with stronger backing than herself.

If she had known that Ye Wanlan was the new chairman of Sheng Entertainment, her immediate superior, even with a hundred times the courage, she wouldn’t have dared to say those words to Ye Wanlan!

At this moment, Wei Qingyao found the predictions that Ye Wanlan would definitely enter the circle to be a massive joke.

More than half of the entertainment circle’s resources were in Ye Wanlan’s hands; even Shen Xinghe was simply a worker for Sheng Entertainment.

Wei Qingyao didn’t know when the call had ended, but she only felt a burning pain on her face.

With staggering steps, she left the Sheng Entertainment building in a daze, returning to her own apartment in Yunjing.

"Qingyao! Do you know what happened?" Her agent approached her anxiously, spinning in circles with worry, "I tried to contact CEO Cheng and can’t get through at all. What on earth is going on?"

CEO Cheng was the high-level executive in Sheng Entertainment who had brought Wei Qingyao up.

Of course, it was precisely because Wei Qingyao herself had a certain relationship with CEO Cheng that she viewed Ye Wanlan and Shen Xinghe from such an angle.

Wei Qingyao’s eyes were lifeless, her gaze vacant.

After who knows how long, she finally managed to squeeze out a sentence from her throat with difficulty, "Ye... Ye Wanlan is our big boss... it’s... it’s me..."

"Ah?!" The agent was stunned, feeling as if he had been hit over the head with a club, aching to the core.

Wei Qingyao slowly broke down, hands covering her face, she started to sob, "It’s over..."

In that instant, all thoughts in her heart were submerged by an emotion known as "regret."

Wei Qingyao knew it wasn’t just a simple suspension of work; she was going to be silently put on ice.

In an era of rapid social development, where the popularity of starlets changed quickly, in a little while, no one would remember the name Wei Qingyao.

How had things come to this point?

Wei Qingyao could no longer hold back and finally burst into loud weeping.

**

The next day, Fang Qingli acted swiftly, immediately handling the contract termination with Wei Qingyao.

Meanwhile, Sheng Entertaiment also released an announcement online.

[@Shengshi Entertainment V: After a thorough investigation, our company has discovered that Miss @Wei Qingyao and the marketing department director Cheng Yan have engaged in improper relations to gain unfair advantages and have fabricated malicious rumors severely harming @Teacher Shen Xinghe.

During the past six months, Teacher Shen Xinghe, representing Sheng Entertaiment, went to the Global Center to study and improve, aiming to take Shenzhou Film and Television global. Our company absolutely will not tolerate such defamation against Teacher Shen, which is a malicious attack on a woman’s reputation, and such intent is condemnable!

Shengshi Entertainment Company has already dismissed Director Cheng Yan and ended the contract with Miss Wei Qingyao. This announcement is hereby made!]

The moment this post hit the internet, it sent the whole Domestic Entertainment industry into an uproar.

The announcement mentioned two individuals, one a popular rising starlet and the other the youngest Best Actress.

[Did I see wrong? Is Sheng Entertaiment trying to blacklist Wei Qingyao?]

[Isn’t it just spreading rumors? Our Qingyao hasn’t done anything unconscionable; Sheng Entertainment is being too harsh!]

[What is Sheng Entertaiment trying to convey? They’re all artists from the same company, can’t they just settle it in private? Now that it’s out in the open, it’s clear that Shen Xinghe is Sheng Entertaiment’s darling, and our Qingyao is just a sacrifice!]

[Do Wei Qingyao’s fans not realize that spreading rumors to such a degree can land you in jail? Are all from the accuser to the fans a bunch of legal ignoramuses?]

[I don’t think Sheng Entertaiment’s course of action is too severe; it should be this way. Let’s see who else in the circle dares to spread rumors, thinking about whether they can bear the consequences!]

For a moment, the internet was in complete turmoil.

But Ye Wanlan didn’t care. She, along with Shen Xinghe and others from the Pulling the Sky Company’s design team, headed to the Global Center for this year’s Global Ceremony.

Iliate and Zhu Yu also accompanied them.

Zhu Yu was there to chase stars, while Iliate had finished all his work and returned to the Global Center to continue his poison research.

"Ms. YN, upon seeing you this time, I truly see you in a new light," Iliate said with earnest admiration, "Tell me, is there anything in this world that you can’t accomplish?"

"Oh?" Ye Wanlan looked up, speaking indifferently, "There are plenty of things I can’t accomplish; I am human, not a deity."

"In my eyes, Ms. YN is like a deity," Iliate said, before turning to Zhu Yu with a smile, "I am also very grateful to little brother Zhu Yu. Thanks to you, I have found some new inspiration. If you ever need any herbs again, you can come directly to me instead of going through Ms. YN."

"That’s very kind of you," Zhu Yu said. "It’s rare to meet someone whose temperament matches mine; naturally, we should communicate well."

"Kindred temperament? No, no, no—" Iliate waved his hands dismissively, "If it weren’t for Ms. YN playing mediator and introducing us, and had we met in another way, you would probably already be stewing in my cauldron."

Zhu Yu: "..."

His eyes widened, and he immediately wrapped his clothes tighter around himself: "I... I don’t taste good!"

"Right, right, you don’t taste good, but you’ve eaten quite a few good things from a young age," Iliate said with a grin, "Your blood, your flesh, even your hair are all excellent ingredients for medicine, and this is something your family must have mentioned to you."

Zhu Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"It’s the second time I’ve encountered this physique, and all I can say is it’s once in a hundred years," Iliate mused, "However, this kind of physique also tends to attract trouble."

Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow: "You know you can concoct a medicine to mask his unique physique."

"Correct," Iliate snapped his fingers, "Brother Zhu Yu, if there’s anything else you desire, just speak up, and let’s see if I can make it happen for you."

"I... I actually have another idol," Zhu Yu said, somewhat bashfully scratching his head, "There’s a poison maker at the Global Center known as the ’Deadly Poison Master’. I am not sure if you know him, but if you do, please convey my admiration to him."

Iliate: "..."

Three seconds later, he said slowly, "Tell me, do I look like this ’Deadly Poison Master’ you speak
