Indeed, after signing the contract, Tian Juan quickly took action and issued a statement. On one hand, it confirmed that Wen Nian was an artist under Ding Sheng Media, explaining that she hadn’t been assigned any work yet due to still being a student. On the other hand, she exposed the intentional use of fake scores to discredit Wen Nian, which had caused losses to the company.

The education bureau cooperated with the investigation, and the next step for the company would be to file a lawsuit against those who violated Wen Nian’s reputation.

Tian Juan promptly released the video of the day they searched for the answer sheet at the education bureau. The education bureau also quickly issued a statement, confirming their cooperation with the investigation. In the process, they indeed discovered that a staff member had tampered with Wen Nian’s scores, manipulating the provincial exam score system. The police had already intervened in the investigation.

The reversal happened too quickly, and netizens struggled to keep up with the pace. However, with the official statements one after another, the direction of netizen comments changed.

“So Wen Nian has joined Ding Sheng. The tallest tree attracts the most wind. No wonder there are always people defaming her.”

“I know Wen Nian’s classmates, and they all say she’s always doing exercises after class. How could she be at the bottom?”

“The police caught someone? I’ll wait for the police announcement; otherwise, it’s easy to be slapped in the face.”

“Little Wen Nian is finally entering the entertainment industry! Exciting!”

“Great, if the scores are authentic, can I cash in the chips for the potato chips I bet last time?”

“My potato chips! I thought I really lost, and the chips were sent out! Return my potato chips!”

“Those who harmed Wen Nian deserve to die a miserable death, return my potato chips!”

After more than a day of turmoil, Tian Juan showed no signs of fatigue but was filled with energy.

Zhao Jiao had tacitly approved her becoming an agent. With her wide network in the industry, she knew that Tian Juan had started managing artists. Many people had volunteered, but Tian Juan turned them down.

She simply stated that it was mainly because she saw potential in Wen Nian, wanted to create goodwill for the company, and had not signed a long-term contract. She wasn’t truly intending to manage artists and not find any collaboration opportunities for Wen Nian.

In the entertainment industry, everyone is quite shrewd. As Zhao Jiao’s first assistant, equivalent to the chief eunuch by the emperor’s side, and with Tian Juan voluntarily managing Wen Nian, regardless of backgrounds or the terms of the short-term contract, Wen Nian was likely to become very famous in the future.

This incident had a significant impact, and even Zhao Wu inquired about it. The police, working overnight, unexpectedly unearthed the truth.

A senior college student interning at the education bureau accepted a bribe of ten thousand yuan to tamper with Wen Nian’s grades.

The person who approached him conveyed that the two girls didn’t get along, and their families kept comparing them. Therefore, they wanted Wen Nian to suffer.

The student, a recluse, had no idea who Wen Nian was. Believing that with hundreds of thousands of scores, changing one person’s result wouldn’t matter, he accepted the money and altered the score in the system.

The person who gave him the money was a small leader of the Education Bureau. He was usually a vegetarian, and many of his subordinates were very disgusted. This time, he was implicated. His usual corruption, bribery, and nepotism were also exposed.

According to his confession, he received money from someone in the Wei Group. The person gave him a hundred thousand, and he found an intern to carry out the task.

The investigation circled back to the Wen and Wei families. Netizens suddenly realized that the Wei family was trying to divert attention.

But when they interrogated the department head of the Wei Group, he insisted that he hated Wen Nian to the extreme. He believed that because Wen Nian became famous, people started paying attention to her, causing Wei Feng’s past to be exposed. He had received the support of the old master and wanted to avenge him.

While it seemed like this matter had come to an end, in reality, it accelerated the progress of Wei Feng’s case. The police didn’t dare to delay it and sped up the proceedings.

At this moment in the Jiang family, Jiang Ning hid in Jiang Chun’s room, hardly daring to come out.

“Jiang Chun, if it weren’t for your help this time, I would have been finished.” Reflecting on the events of the past few days, she was genuinely afraid of ending up like Wei Lai, still in custody.

Knowing Wen Nian’s ruthless nature, and with Huang Yue already incarcerated, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but feel a bit fearful.

Jiang Chun softly reassured her, “We are real sisters. In the future, you will be the young mistress of the Wei family, and the Wei family will belong to you and Wei Xiao. That little department manager is already trying to curry favor with you! When the time comes, you can just give him a low-level position. Otherwise, with his lack of connections and education, he probably won’t even become the general manager before retirement.”

Jiang Ning nodded but she still felt scared.

However, in Jiang Chun’s eyes, there was an unmistakable undercurrent of resentment.

Wen Nian, you’ve managed to turn the tables again!
