Chapter 173: 173 Don’t throw away the bottom line
This night, Sun Ling once again slept in the guest room.
The next day, the alarm rang promptly at six in the morning. Sun Ling struggled to crawl out of bed, prepared to go downstairs and call out twice to remind Boss A to wake up, but at that moment, she saw the couple walking out of the kitchen together.
“Wash up, and get ready to head back to the set,” Shi Lan reminded Sun Ling.
“Wait for me five minutes,” Sun Ling slipped back into her room, and five minutes later, she returned to the living room. Thinking of the news she saw last night before going to sleep, her mood inevitably plummeted again, “Although I know I shouldn’t be saying this now, the matter with Gu Chengyu’s fans has gotten too big, the brand announced last night that the event was canceled, and the birthday support… it’s gone.”
Shi Lan handed her the milk without much of an expression: “Have breakfast.”
“The fans, they’re very disappointed.”
Shi Lan fell silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked Yan Shixiu, “Are you free that day? Take me to stand under that big screen in the afternoon to check in.”
“But the big screen won’t display your video.”
“It doesn’t matter who it is, I’m just acknowledging their efforts.”
After hearing this, Sun Ling finally smiled. In that instant, it seemed as if winning or losing didn’t matter anymore.
“Don’t send anything,” Shi Lan quickly stopped Yan Shi Xiu, then warned Sun Ling, “You don’t send anything either, none of you bother with me.”
Because that day was also An Lan’s remembrance day, she was preparing on that day to make sure Gu Chengyu was beyond redemption.
When they returned to the set, it was still early. But to avoid running into Gu Chengyu, Shi Lan went straight to the makeup room anyway.
Sun Ling was checking her phone next to her, and just after eight o’clock, she received a WeChat message from Tang Ze: “Which work is Boss A’s submission for ‘Demon’s Walk’?”
“It’s called ‘Dark Demon,’ has it entered the public announcement period?” After replying to Tang Ze, Sun Ling opened the official website to check and discovered that it had been the second day of the public announcement period, and Boss A’s work was sitting comfortably in first place on the overall rankings by an overwhelming number of votes.
“Looks like a million bucks is possible, and the reason I’m asking about this is that there’s good news. The ‘Demon’s Walk’ folks are looking for a real-person spokesperson, and they’ve already reached out to An Lan with an olive branch. On behalf of Boss A, I’ve accepted their dinner invitation for the evening before An Lan’s birthday. Tell her so she’s mentally prepared.”
