Chapter 860
The next day.
Su Ran woke up late, successfully missing breakfast and nearly missing lunch as well.
The sunlight outside the window was a bit harsh. She groggily opened her eyes to find that Qi Yuan was no longer beside her.
She glanced at the time. It was eleven-thirty, and she instantly lost all sleepiness.
She quickly got dressed, washed up, and went downstairs to grab a brunch before hurrying to the company.
For the past couple of days, the trending topics were almost all about Josie Martin and Song Chengyun.
Ever since they appeared at Yong City Airport, the news about them hadn’t stopped.
So, how many endorsements Josie Martin had signed and how she had become the Asia-Pacific spokesperson for an international luxury brand was something Su Ran didn’t even need to pay special attention to; the news was pushed to her daily.
However, today’s entertainment hot searches had changed subjects, with news like #Yun Feng acting high and mighty#, #Lin Siya being bullied by a colleague#, and #The “Qian Gu” crew silently endorsing industry unspoken rules# climbing the ranks.
The fairy drama “Qian Gu” had been preparing to start filming since before the end of the year. Due to its strong cast, it attracted a lot of attention, and even the slightest movement would push it into the hot searches.
The incident began with a video posted online. In the video, Lin Siya was holding the script and looking for Yun Feng to rehearse. However, Yun Feng suddenly got a dark face and lashed out at Lin Siya without holding back, even to the point of humiliation, making Lin Siya cry on the spot.
Yun Feng was notoriously bad-tempered and hard to please. It wasn’t the first time he’d made a female actor cry.
But this was the first time he had so completely embarrassed someone, especially with the comment “showing off,” which practically nailed Lin Siya to the pillar of shame.
Lin Siya’s fans and some self-proclaimed defenders of justice online were accusing Yun Feng of being a diva and bullying his colleague.
Yun Feng’s fans claimed that Lin Siya was manipulating public opinion to smear Yun Feng, insisting there must be some inside story.
The two sides argued online, even dragging the crew into the mess.
Su Ran’s first reaction to the news was amusement.
Chu Xiyao’s tactics were too low-level; she actually started with Yun Feng.
If someone said Yun Feng lost his temper on the set and upended the entire crew, she’d believe it.
Saying he acted like a diva and bullied a female colleague p>
Ha!
The rising superstar of the entertainment industry needing to act like a diva?
He’s always been a big shot!
As for bullying colleagues? That’s something Yun Feng has never stooped to.
“President Su, the online discourse is getting fiercer. What should we do now p>
Han Ying, sitting on the sofa opposite, looked worriedly at the news on her phone as it continued to ferment.
Due to Lin Siya’s recent jump to Zisu Entertainment, the company was already under scrutiny online. Now with Yun Feng’s incident, Zisu Entertainment’s reputation was even further tarnished.
Han Ying, a veteran agent at Zisu Entertainment, had managed many outstanding artists and was now assisting Su Ran with Yun Feng and Chu Ling, serving as their other on-duty agent.
Su Ran sat behind her desk, her expression calm and serious, exuding an aura of authority that made others a bit nervous.
The office fell silent, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was quite heavy.
Leaning back in her chair, flipping through the tablet in her hand, Su Ran suddenly smirked.
“Han Ying p>
“Yes p>
Han Ying, who had been sneaking glances at Su Ran, jumped at being called out.
Su Ran placed the tablet aside and looked at her.
“Call Director Qian p>
Han Ying was perplexed. “Call Director Qian for what p>
Wasn’t it about handling the online discourse? What does this have to do with Director Qian?
Su Ran tapped her fingers on the desk, “I need the original video from the set, and all the recording of Lin Siya with Yun Feng since joining the crew p>
Hearing this, Han Ying’s eyes lit up with excitement, but then she hesitated.
“I heard Lin Siya has strong backing and support from an investor. Her entry into “Qian Gu” was at the investor’s request. Director Qian might p>
Would he offend the investors for Yun Feng?
Su Ran smiled faintly, “That depends on his choice p>
To choose Yun Feng or Lin Siya!
Director Qian had been in the entertainment industry for years; she didn’t believe he couldn’t see that Lin Siya would inevitably become a trouble for the crew.
Whether he was willing to take on this trouble or lose Yun Feng was his choice.
But considering the implicated crew, was there any other choice than Yun Feng?
Han Ying looked at Su Ran, who seemed both distant and near, feeling a mix of admiration.
How could a woman be so excellent and powerful?
Clearly not a professional agent, yet her PR skills were more adept than theirs.
Rotating her chair to look at her, Su Ran asked, “Does Chu Ling have any plans for the afternoon p>
Han Ying took out her phone, checked Chu Ling’s schedule, and then said:
“No p>
Su Ran nodded, “Call her to my office p>
“Now?” Han Ying asked.
Su Ran said, “Now p>
There was no questioning Su Ran’s words; Han Ying immediately called Chu Ling.
Chu Ling entered the office, greeted Han Ying, and then looked up to Su Ran with admiration and caution.
“President Su, did you look for me p>
Han Ying couldn’t help but click her tongue seeing Chu Ling like this.
In front of the camera, so confident and proud Chu Ling, was now in front of President Su like a little fangirl.
Looking along her gaze, the person in the chair was dignified, beautifully aloof, brimming with confidence and power, truly impressive.
This was how everyone wanted to be.
Someone’s self-confidence came from their excellence.
Wasn’t it natural for Chu Ling to be infatuated with such excellence?
Su Ran smiled at her, asking, “Any plans for the afternoon p>
Chu Ling quickly shook her head, “Nothing planned p>
Upon hearing this, Su Ran got up and glanced at both of them.
“Come with me p>
“Where to p>
“Where to p>
Chu Ling and Han Ying asked in unison and then looked at each other, embarrassed.
Su Ran faintly smiled, her eyes flashing with depth.
“To send someone off p>
“Send someone off p>
“Send someone off p>
Chu Ling and Han Ying were confused, looking at each other with bewilderment.
Su Ran just smiled without explaining further, leading them out of the office.
On the other side.
At the “Qian Gu” set, everyone wore gloomy expressions. Time was the most precious commodity for the filming team.
However, at the moment, everyone stood around, scrolling through their phones, their faces filled with righteous indignation.
“A second-rate artist, ditching the set whenever they want, going on strike whenever in a bad mood. It’s only been two days since we started, and how many times has it been now? Whose face is she trying to slap p>
“What can we do? She was planted here by the investors, we have to give her some face p>
“We give her face, who gives us face?! How much is her face worth? Look at what’s happening online! And now she’s the one feeling wronged p>
