But being publicly regarded as an "abandoned woman," and with everyone else wearing aggressive expressions, eager for a show, made Jiang Xuanqi feel deeply frustrated.
However, she clearly knew that Nie Anni had a strong background. Not only did she come from a prestigious family, but she was also the favored disciple of John Gruber—more importantly, she had recently signed with Starlight Entertainment. The Nie Family even sent a lot of "resources" to Yin Maohui of Starlight Entertainment for their daughter. Starlight Entertainment decided to promote her heavily, and Jiang Xuanqi simply couldn’t afford to offend her.
Thinking of herself, she had slogged it out for five years and finally climbed to her current status, while Nie Anni effortlessly reached a position to be highly promoted by leveraging Yu Zexiao’s support. How could she not be frustrated!
But neither Yu Zexiao nor Nie Anni were people she could afford to offend. She herself knew that Nie Anni and Yu Zexiao didn’t have any relationship. Faced with reporters’ questions, she could only skillfully deflect them, saying, "No, I didn’t know Miss Nie before."
She wouldn’t say anything more. Because even she wasn’t sure what arrangements the company had for Yu Zexiao and Nie Anni. Would they let them deny their ambiguous relationship verbally, or would they divert attention and first publicly acknowledge their "relationship," only to later stealthily conspire with Jian Anning?
The reporters were sweating profusely, and the most favorable information they got was that this sharp woman was named Nie! It was driving them crazy!
Seeing that none of these main characters were speaking up, the reporters got anxious and immediately transferred the questions, spreading them indiscriminately. The first to be targeted was Lu Jiayuan: "Jason, do you know anything about Miss Nie and Zexiao?"
Lu Jiayuan was planning to join Starlight Entertainment, so why would he offend Yu Zexiao at this juncture? He merely smiled and said, "That’s Zexiao’s personal matter, I’m not in a position to inquire."
As he spoke, he noticed Yin Maohui’s expression from over there and seemed to understand something. He smiled again and said, "Miss Nie and Zexiao are great work partners. Miss Nie also appears in the last episode and collaborates with Zexiao on a very important scene. Are any of you interested in watching it?"
He was smart, subtly bringing everyone’s focus back to "Rock Youth." After all, this was a wrap party for the TV series, not an arena for Yu Zexiao and Nie Anni to gain fame! Although a show also needed such highlights to attract attention, what really mattered in the end was the TV series itself and the ratings!
Moreover, if you listened carefully, he seemed to have said a lot, but in fact, he didn’t say anything at all. Couldn’t work partners become lovers in private?
But Director Li quickly took over the conversation and laughed heartily: "Yes, Zexiao and Anni collaborated in the show. But the specific scenes will depend on what airs at that time! We’ll keep it a little surprise here!"
Some knowledgeable media reporters immediately followed up with questions: "Director Li, what’s in the last episode of ’Rock Youth’? Do Lin Zixiao and Xiu Momo end up together? Rumors on the internet say there’s an open ending, which means there could be differences from the previously leaked scripts. Is that true?"
