Upon hearing Fu Yang say that, Liu Ying immediately stopped in her tracks.
She looked at Fu Yang uncertainly, "What did you say?"
"You know very well yourself," Fu Yang glanced at her and snapped, "Get lost now."
Liu Ying’s mind was in turmoil, and she no longer cared about the cover issue. She signaled her assistant with her eyes, "Aren’t we leaving?"
After speaking, Liu Ying hurried off with her assistant.
On Shu Wan’s end, the contract was signed, and she soon moved from the supplement cover to the main magazine cover.
Liu Ying’s fans had been waiting for her cover all this time, but to their surprise, the magazine announced Shu Wan instead, sparking outrage.
"Why? The main magazine cover was clearly meant for our Liu Ying. Why did they change it to Shu Wan? Does Shu Wan even deserve this?"
"Just look at Shu Wan’s fox-like appearance. That’s why she could be on the cover of the main magazine. She must have clung to some rich patron."
"The entertainment circle is too outrageous now, changing the main magazine cover at the last minute. It’s too much!! The magazine must explain themselves to Liu Ying, or we will definitely boycott Goddess Magazine."
Given Shu Wan’s status and the information revealed by the magazine, Shu Wan was unlikely to be chosen for the cover this time. Suddenly, with her surging to such a position, everyone naturally suspected some serious foul play.
Online, the arguments were relentless, and in reality, the disputes were also quite intense.
Liu Ying’s agency was having a fierce dispute with the magazine for changing the featured personality last minute, while Shu Wan was approached at her doorstep by President Li.
"Shu Wan, you lied to me. Didn’t you say if I provide you with resources and money, you’d let me go? How did those surveillance tapes end up at the police station?"
"When did I ever say that?" Shu Wan looked at President Li.
President Li was startled and recalled the scene from last night, realizing she indeed never said she would let him go; she just demanded money and resources.
He widened his eyes, "You did it on purpose! You made me feel that giving you money would make you let me go! This is blackmail. If you don’t let me go, I won’t let you off either."
Shu Wan remained very calm, "50 million. I’ve already split it into five parts, each transferred to five different people. As for who these five people are, I believe President Li knows better than I do."
President Li’s expression changed dramatically, finding himself in a dilemma.
While he could claim Shu Wan blackmailed him with the 50 million, doing so would risk exposing several of his past misdeeds.
Those issues involved too much, and he didn’t dare gamble.
He glared at Shu Wan hatefully, "You have such a venomous mind, having planned everything from the start."
President Li retorted, "Had you not committed those misdeeds, how could I have gotten hold of your weaknesses?"
President Li was furious, but facing Shu Wan’s continuous attacks, he completely lost the will to resist.
Since Shu Wan could unearth such deeply buried secrets, he feared making a mistake and having Shu Wan completely destroy him.
Even though he was furious, he could only leave in a disheartened manner.
Once President Li had left, Fu Yang looked at Shu Wan with a peculiar expression, "I actually thought the 50 million was for yourself."
"What would I want that money for?"
"Aren’t you short on money?" Fu Yang leaned back in his chair, "You’re so desperate you even take on those messy reality shows."
"Fine, even if it’s a messy variety show, you’ve agreed to shoot it now," Shu Wan stood up, "Let’s go meet the director."
"Let’s Go Together," currently the hottest parent-child reality show in the country, had aired two seasons so far.
Due to the good reputation of the previous seasons, the anticipation for the third season had already attracted a lot of fans’ attention.
Thus, the director had a wide range of choices for guests, even including best actor and actress winners.
In theory, Shu Wan, as a "mother" of low status and a stepmother, had an awkward status, and Fu Yang was beyond the age limit.
In the previous two seasons, none of the children were older than seven. Fu Yang, now 14, did not fit in with the rest of the guests.
However, once the director personally saw Shu Wan and Fu Yang, he changed his mind without hesitation and immediately confirmed their participation.
