Chapter 914: Chapter 914: Old Lady

Tang Zhubiao left with a heavy heart.

He appeared casual and unreliable, but he took his work very seriously.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have worked diligently on this show despite an uncertain future and earnestly undermined the guests.

Now that the show has finally gained popularity and traction, he, as a director, can’t make decisions about the guests.

He couldn’t help but sneer at the mention of Zhang Yuan, wondering which sponsor was backing her this time.

The amount paid was likely substantial, enough for the station to disregard his influence.

Well, it seems his voice isn’t strong enough.

But this time, Tang Zhubiao was mistaken.

Zhang Caidie found out about a week ago that she might be replaced.

Suddenly, she was at a loss.

Though during the recording period, she always felt things weren’t going smoothly, getting along with Yue Qingqing was like being destined to clash, and she didn’t get along well with others either.

But it was undeniable that the show’s unstoppable momentum had become a hit.

Saluted with her own status rising alongside it, her agent said that now when accepting scripts, she could charge thirty percent more.

There were more scripts to choose from.

Even though Zhang Yuan heard some negative reviews, but celebrities—unlike money—can’t be liked by everyone.

Being notorious is still being famous; in this world, fame is still king.

Therefore, she absolutely didn’t want to be replaced on this show.

Her agent also reached out and negotiated.

But it’s said that Tang Zhubiao’s attitude was very firm, leaving Zhang Caidie resentful.

She turned to some "friends" from the past for help.

But recently her luck seemed exceptionally bad; one mishap after another, and one person discovered her involvement with multiple partners.

They intentionally exposed it within the circle.

The temperament of those sponsors isn’t much different; they believe juggling multiple partners shows skill, but their women mingling with others is disgusting.

After Zhang Caidie’s mishap, those sponsors immediately cut off contact with her, unwilling to assist at all.

Zhang Caidie cursed them inwardly, thinking they should look at their own conduct, but faced with this situation, there was nothing she could do.

Just when she felt completely cornered and certain she’d be replaced, a woman approached her.

To be precise, it was an old lady.

The woman appeared very elderly, with meticulously groomed silver hair and piercing eyes.

After Zhang Caidie was brought to the office, she looked around uneasily.

Frantically recalling any recent dealings with older sponsors.

Hoping it’s not that the legitimate wife has shown up.

She sat down anxiously in her seat, only to hear the old lady speak after observing her several times.

"Zhang Yuan, real name Zhang Caidie, born in Daye Village, father Wang Jinshun, mother He Zhenzhen. After your father went to prison, your mother remarried, your stepfather is Zhang Qianhai."

As the series of names were announced, Zhang Caidie’s hands twisted together on her lap.

Feeling like the dark memories of the past were being peeled away layer by layer.

Facing the media, Zhang Caidie always emphasized her decent background, claiming she entered this industry out of love for acting.

Those embarrassing pasts should have been buried in the dust long ago; why were they being unearthed?

Zhang Caidie held her breath, not daring to look into the other’s eyes.

"Am I right?" The old lady’s voice rose slightly, forcing Zhang Caidie to respond.

With courage, she looked at the other person, "Who are you? What do you want?"

The old lady’s face remained stern, her eyes like a hawk fixing on Zhang Caidie.

"You and Yue Qingqing have known each other since childhood, you should know a lot about her, right?"
