Chapter 196: 196 Mixed Doubles Chapter 196: 196 Mixed Doubles The curses were overwhelming, even more frenzied and venomous than before, for this was An Lan’s second public “image collapse”. Some bystanders had chosen to become her fans and believed her before, but now they just felt utterly deceived and even more so, blind.
Vice President Qin expressed great satisfaction with the outcome he had created.
Although he verbally accepted the company’s handling, he had a new project development in his hands, which was the highlight for the company next year. Therefore, the company couldn’t really do anything to him, at most, they would give him a verbal warning or two.
After all, he had established a professional and rigorous image for the company and cleared some of the negative news accumulated earlier, so he had merits without faults.
Furthermore, by refreshing Gu Chengyu’s innocent image and winning back public favor, sharing the pressure, he believed he handled the matter exceptionally well.
When the news reached Shi Lan’s ears, she had just finished a group scene.
Even for a big shot who lacked the empathy of ordinary people, it was clear from the unusual behavior of those around her.
Sun Ling was both anxious and angry next to her but didn’t want to disrupt the big shot’s filming. As soon as Shi Lan stepped out of the camera, Sun Ling immediately ran over and said to Shi Lan, “Boss, there’s trouble.”
“Phone.” This morning, Miss Gu wasn’t present at the set, and Shi Lan had sensed something then, so she wasn’t too shocked now.
Sun Ling hurriedly handed her the phone.
Shi Lan glanced at it and dialed Tang Ze’s number right away.
“Boss… I’m sorry, I really didn’t know Gu Chengyu and that Vice President Qin were so disgusting. I couldn’t conduct a thorough background check in advance.” Tang Ze began to blame himself on the phone.
“Don’t rush to feel guilty. Besides that Vice President Qin at the dinner, there were two other executives. Help me check their backgrounds right away, try to finish it by tonight, and figure out the two men’s movements, I might need to meet them myself this evening, and also, prepare two recording pens for me.”
After hearing this, Tang Ze immediately said, “Okay, I’ll prepare it, but this time, can we really get over it?”
“An old rogue, trying to compete with me?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Ze instantly felt relieved.
After hanging up with Tang Ze, Yan Shixiu’s number came through.
The young lady was in a foul mood, and after picking up the call, she snapped a bit, “What?”
“You went to that dinner the night before your birthday?” Yan Shixiu’s voice sounded somewhat chilly.
“So, you believe it too…”
“Right now, I just want to have Mister Qin carried away,” Yan Shixiu interrupted her and added, “From now on, whoever you meet, I must know.”
“Keep a record, to… retaliate!”
The young lady’s irritability smoothed over instantly at Yan Shixiu’s words, even feeling a bit amused.
“I have my ways to settle this.”
“Each to their own skills, then, girlfriend. Let’s see if we have that tacit understanding to deal with this trash together.”
After hearing Yan Shixiu’s words, Shi Lan understood his intentions; he didn’t want to stand by this time, he wanted to get involved.
Shi Lan thought to herself, alright, mixed doubles, Qin Vice President and his gang, will surely bring double the joy.
So, she agreed very readily, “Okay.”
“I’ll come to visit the set this afternoon, to support you.”
“Bring the mung bean cake from Shangting Courtyard.” Shi Lan made a small request.
Sun Ling was right beside Shi Lan, witnessing firsthand the changes in the boss’s mood. It turned out, a call from a loved one could indeed soothe everything.
Just then, Gu Chengyu approached Shi Lan, apparently wanting to explain, but he had barely begun to utter the word ‘An’ when Shi Lan slapped him backhandedly, glancing at Gu Chengyu with peripheral vision, “Get lost.”
