Zhen Ni scoffed, "Still an acting emperor, yet so oppressive towards the little actors, truly shameless."
The agent’s face underwent a drastic change, "Be careful with your words, do you think he’s just an acting emperor?"
Zhen Ni was dismissive, "Then what else? A shareholder of Diyang? Don’t joke, if he were a shareholder of Diyang, why would he act in dramas? Truly shameless, not clarifying, and truly thinks highly of himself, what a joke."
The agent looked at her twisted face, her eyebrows tightly furrowed, "Are you sure he really hasn’t promoted you? Before that, you weren’t . Weren’t you happy to be in the same scene as Bo Yan? Changing your face so quickly, isn’t it just because Bo Yan didn’t promote you?"
Having her sore spot bluntly pointed out, Zhen Ni’s face became extremely unsightly, "Get out, I don’t want to talk."
The agent looked at the Little Assistant who was still tidying up the mess, "You go out first, keep an eye on the door outside."
The Little Assistant nodded and hurried out.
The agent stood in front of Zhen Ni and looked at her seriously, "Think carefully, have you ever offended Emperor Bo Yan?"
Zhen Ni’s expression was ugly, she said angrily, "Zhang sister, do I even have the chance to offend the great Emperor Bo Yan? Can I reach his high status on normal days? How could I possibly offend him?"
The agent thought about it and it made sense. Zhen Ni could be considered a second-tier actress at best, and every role in Bo Yan’s dramas, even the supporting roles, were top-tier. Zhen Ni got into this production because she brought investment to the project, just for three short scenes. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to get in at all.
Bo Yan’s agreement to star in "Glory With You, None Betrays the Other" was probably out of consideration for Tang Wan being Xuan Ze’s mother, otherwise, he would not lower his status to act with a newcomer.
Such a high-profile supporting actor is a rare sight.
The more Zhen Ni thought about it, the angrier she became, "The great Emperor Bo Yan pretends to be so noble and chaste on the surface, but who knows if it’s because I bullied that new actress a little and he’s taking up for her. Look, he’s the most special towards that new actress in the entire place. Just a bitch, really shameless, they must have slept together!"
Zhang Tong looked at the artist she had personally nurtured in shock, "If you have no evidence, it’s best not to speak recklessly. When I can’t protect you, you should think about the consequences for yourself. I think you’re getting it wrong about this. Emperor Bo Yan is just cooperating out of respect for Xuan Ze, and you shouldn’t blame this incident on that newcomer, it doesn’t make sense."
"How does it not make sense?" Zhen Ni still felt her intuition was trustworthy, "I haven’t spoken a word to Emperor Bo Yan today, it’s impossible that I’ve offended him. But that newcomer, I did scold her a few times.
Writing a few songs and thinking she’s above everyone else, capable of anything? Wasn’t Lin Chen taken down just because he offended her? Zhang sister, do you think such a great beauty wouldn’t have someone backing her? Otherwise, how would she have gotten into the crew?"
Zhang Tong still found it unlikely, "The lead actress of the movie was personally chosen by Xuan Ze."
Zhen Ni was disdainful, "You believe that public statement, Zhang sister? Haven’t you taught me not to be so naïve? And now you’re the one being naïve."
Zhang Tong didn’t know what was wrong with this Zhen Ni, her face full of resentment as if someone owed her for eight lifetimes, especially dark today, lashing out at anyone she caught sight of, displeased with everyone.
Zhang Tong took a deep breath, "Speaking of Lin Chen, let’s discuss him. His hit song was plagiarism, and since it was plagiarism, getting exposed and punished as he deserves is only natural. Why would you think he’s innocent? Is it just because he debuted at the same time as you, from the same place? You’re quite superficial in judging people.
Plus, whether Yuran has someone supporting her or not, it’s none of our business. Don’t meddle, and don’t get yourself involved as well. Lin Chen is already ruined, he won’t be able to come back. Take that as a warning."
Zhen Ni didn’t really care about what Zhang Tong said. Seeing that she wouldn’t listen, Zhang Tong stopped trying to persuade her and changed the subject, "If you still care about your image, you’d better heed my words. Don’t just throw things around, and don’t bully the new people in the crew, anyone."
"Finally, go apologize to Bo Yan tomorrow,"
Zhen Ni was unwilling and bit her lip, resisting. Zhang Tong took a deep breath, feeling that it was impossible to have a proper conversation with Zhen Ni. Ever since she had mixed with the high levels of their company, her ego had inflated even more.
Seeing that she didn’t speak, Zhang Tong added, "Think of it as me being naggy, whether you listen or not is up to you. After you’ve thought it over, send me a message."
With that, Zhang Tong turned around and walked out. The Little Assistant was still standing at the door, the scars on her face clearly visible. Zhang Tong frowned, "Go get your wounds treated, and keep a close eye on her. Contact me if there’s any movement."
On Xie Cheng’s end with Bo Yan, Xie Cheng pleaded earnestly for Bo Yan’s phone, "Give me your phone. I’ll post an official statement on the fan account, explaining why you didn’t endorse others. By doing this, people will think Bo Yan the great actor is being petty."
Bo Yan replied, "I’ve never portrayed myself as magnanimous to the public."
At a loss for words, Xie Cheng then asked, "Can you at least tell me why you didn’t endorse those few? You endorsed others but left out a few. It seems weird, like you’re holding a grudge."
Bo Yan admitted, "Correct, that person called Zhen Ni insulted Yuran. As for the others, they spoke ill."
Xie Cheng was so shocked he jumped up, "What are you trying to do? Isn’t it obvious? Aren’t you afraid that people will figure out that Yuran is special to you? You’re so bold. Give me the phone, I’ll clarify things right away."
Bo Yan responded bluntly, "Get lost."
Xie Cheng was so angry he could explode, "Can’t you just focus on acting well? Can’t you just be your aloof actor self? What are you doing trying to take the manager’s job?"
Ignoring him, Bo Yan continued texting Yuran, "Did that person called Zhen Ni insult you today?"
Yuran’s phone was in Annan’s hands when a message suddenly popped up, and seeing the name Bo Yan saved in the contacts, Annan was utterly shocked, freezing on the spot. The next instant, she leaped up and choked Yuran, who coughed twice, "What are you doing?"
With a stern and interrogative demeanor, Annan held the phone in front of Yuran, "Tell me honestly, what’s going on here? Why would Bo Yan send you this kind of message? What’s your relationship with him? Speak!"
"Cough, cough, cough, you, you first let go, I, I can’t breathe."
Annan quickly let go, and Yuran coughed several times, her eyes misty and teary, looking pitiable.
Yuran had never planned on hiding it from Annan; she just wanted to find the right opportunity to tell her, but she hadn’t expected the opportunity to present itself.
Eagerly handing over the phone for her to see, Yuran was surprised after reading the content. It was true that Zhen Ni had insulted her, but how did Bo Yan know about it?
