Chapter 725 - 714: The Male Supporting Character’s Bai Yueguang
"Miaomiao." Sister Wang looked at the message and screenshot on her phone, swallowed, and then called out to Cao Miaomiao with an ugly expression.
"What’s wrong?" Cao Miaomiao had been in a good mood these past few days, not only because Chu Weiwei and Ye Qiu had been criticized, but also because her candid photos with Li Xingzi during the shoot had been leaked online.
Although the netizens expressed doubts about her taste, most of the criticism was directed at Li Xingzi. Compared to her, although Miaomiao’s makeup was flamboyant, at least her long dress was conservative.
What’s that saying? It all depends on the contrast with your peers.
"Chu Weiwei and Ye Qiu have discovered that it was us who hired the Water Army." Sister Wang had not anticipated that her covert actions would be discovered, and even the payment screenshot was in their hands; now what should she do?
"What did you say?" Cao Miaomiao tensed, "How did they find out?"
Sister Wang looked distressed: "Perhaps they noticed something was off with the public opinion online, and decided to investigate."
Cao Miaomiao was frantic: "Didn’t they say that the Water Army company was very secretive? How could they trace it back to us?"
Sister Wang shook her head: "I don’t know, but now is not the time to assign blame, we need to think about how to remedy this."
"How can we remedy this? They know I framed them, won’t they retaliate?" Cao Miaomiao was panicking. She had just gained approval from her fans, and if this got out, her career would be over, what would her fans think of her? Would they say that a national darling had turned into a venomous beauty?
"Calm down, if they really wanted to retaliate, they wouldn’t have notified us first," Sister Wang, being older, had also calmed down before Cao Miaomiao.
"Then what exactly do they want?"
"I’ll contact them first. Miaomiao, we mustn’t lose our composure now. When the time comes, you should sincerely apologize to everyone, say that you were young and impulsive, and if necessary, give up two of the projects in your hand."
"But..." Cao Miaomiao was reluctant.
"No buts, do you want to ruin your future? Apologizing is nothing shameful, and those who sell their bodies are still treated as nothing happened. As for the resources, we will have more opportunities in the future," Sister Wang quickly analyzed the pros and cons, and Cao Miaomiao also quickly calmed down.
Anyway, she had lost this time. In order to secure her future development, bowing her head wasn’t unacceptable, but how could they have found her so quickly?
"Chu Weiwei is calling, should we answer it?" Chu Weiwei raised an eyebrow.
"Answer it, see what her attitude is."
"She said she wants to meet us and apologize in person." Chu Weiwei shrugged after hanging up the phone.
"Are you really planning to forgive her?" Jiang Yao was somewhat unwilling.
"Enough, she’s just an inexperienced young girl, she hasn’t caused us any real harm, and essentially she just wanted to gain attention, nothing too vile. Since she’s sincerely apologizing, why not give her a chance," Chu Weiwei said with a forgiving heart.
Ye Qiu continued, "Although Cao Miaomiao’s acting isn’t great, and her popularity has declined over the past two years, one cannot deny that she has significant connections in the industry. Why should we completely offend her? Otherwise, people might think we are unreasonable! Although we have evidence of the remittance, it’s from her agent. If she vehemently denies it, at most it’ll just add to her scandals without solid proof. It’s not worth it to completely estrange her. On the other hand, if we forgive her this once, maybe we’ll be able to collaborate in the future."
"I’m not lacking these resources," Jiang Yao muttered, eventually not objecting any further.
The next day, Cao Miaomiao and her agent came over. Despite the awkwardness, they sincerely apologized and even voluntarily gave up two top resources as a gesture of goodwill.
"See, isn’t this much better? We made them learn their lesson, gained some benefits, and didn’t escalate the situation to an embarrassing level," Ye Qiu said with her big eyes rolling gleefully, clearly eager for praise from Su Sui.
"Mmm, I know," Su Sui responded, looking at Ye Qiu. It seemed that just seeing her radiant smile made him feel less melancholic.
At night, he called his elder brother Su Yi: "Brother, that therapist you told me about, I want to meet him."
Upon hearing this, Su Yi was so excited he almost knocked over the table: "Little brother, you agreed?"
"Yes, I don’t want to hurt her, and I want to be by her side forever." Just the thought of them growing old together made him feel like facing the world with her wouldn’t be so bad.
"Good, good, good, I’ll contact him right now," Su Yi said, nearly crying with happiness. After their parents died one after the other, he had been busy earning money to support them both and hadn’t realized how their parents’ deaths had impacted his brother’s personality until it was too late.
Over the years, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, his brother refused to seek treatment. It seemed he really cherished the girl from those days.
"I’ve taken that TV show," Chu Weiwei said after they finished shooting "Immortal Palace" and Ye Qiu’s father had sent him the script, finally giving his reply.
Jiang Yao, listening from the side, felt eager to act. It looked like he was planning to give Wei Yi a surprise!
Ye Qiu was the happiest among them; she had a feeling that if they got a good director and with Chu Weiwei’s involvement, the show was bound to be a hit, and then her father would make even more money!
With both female and male lead roles now her friends, she didn’t have to worry about her father’s company going bankrupt again, preventing him from falling into despair and loneliness as in his previous life.
Meanwhile, "Floral Years" was reaching its finale. Because of her own misdeeds, Cao Miaomiao’s part was heavily edited. Even worse was Li Xingzi—her outrageous behavior drew lots of mockery. She became infamously notable, which, of course, was precisely her aim.
In contrast, Ye Qiu and Chu Weiwei were on the rise. Not only was Ye Qiu completely vindicated, but she also began receiving more resources, especially from luxury brands who felt she fit their image and had sent her invitations.
Chu Weiwei, even more remarkable, had become the hottest actress in the entertainment industry, and through this reality show, she also achieved her ultimate goal.
The local government finally started to pay attention to her childhood village. Due to its beautiful scenery, it was designated as a tourist area. They even built a new, wider road, making it easier for the villagers to commute and earn a decent income without having to travel far.
"Cut, Su Sui, your expression should be colder, you are a cold-blooded General being pursued, and you are very annoyed at the little princess played by Ye Qiu. Let’s do it one more time, everyone please focus," the Director instructed.
Hearing the Director’s reprimand, Ye Qiu blinked at him playfully. Su Sui’s eyes filled with tenderness; how could he possibly harden his heart against such a Ye Qiu, even if it was just for a character in the drama?
Two months later, when Chu Weiwei came for a set visit during her break, this was the scene she saw, prompting her to smile knowingly, thinking about a certain shameless top movie star recently.
