Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Xun made a call, which the party at the other end quickly picked up.
His voice was cold. “Get the public relations team to come forward and clear up all the scandals that can be cleared up regarding Xi Wan.”
The staff member’s puzzled voice came from the other end. “But President Su, Xi Wan isn’t an artist signed on with our company.” Could it be that President Su was preparing to sign Xi Wan on? But didn’t Xi Wan say that she had retired from the entertainment industry? And in a high-profile manner, to boot!
Su Xun’s tone was a little impatient as he replied, “I asked you to do something. Since when have I needed to explain myself? If you can do it, then do it. If not, then get someone else to do it.”
The staff member’s heart suddenly quivered. “D-Don’t worry, President Su. It will definitely be done well!
As soon as the call ended, the staff member quickly took action. With the help of professional technicians, they quickly found the video of Xi Wan pushing Jiang Ran as well as the video of Jiang Ran getting someone to slander Xi Wan.
After the information was sorted out, someone from the Su family contacted Song Kai, who picked up the call. When he heard that the other party was from the Su family group, Song Kai almost dropped his mobile phone. Had the Su family group taken a fancy to their small production group?
When he heard that they were hoping for the production team to step forward and prove Xi Wan’s identity, Song Kai was dumbfounded. It took him a few seconds to regain his senses.
Why would the Su group care about such a small matter? What was Xi Wan’s relationship with the Su group? But now that he was thinking about all the rumors about Xi Wan, Song Kai felt that he had noticed something.
He really didn’t expect Xi Jin to actually have a backer like the Su family.
And so, the crew of Prosperous Like a Dream made an official announcement, saying that Xi Wan had become an investor in the production.
The internet exploded.
< What? Xi Wan actually became an investor in the production team? Where did she get the money from? >
< Didn’t you say that she has a sugar daddy? I’ve seen investors looking for roles for their lovers, but I’ve never heard of a lover becoming an investor. >
< You’ve seen it for yourself now. Xi Wan must have a sugar daddy behind her. Otherwise, where would she have gotten the money?>
Just as a heated discussion was brewing on the internet forums, another marketing account with a million fans came out and posted two videos with the caption: “Xi Wan doesn’t have a sugar daddy, nor did she hit anyone. Jiang Ran framed her.”
The netizens were instantly attracted by the clickbait-esque title. When they clicked into the article, they were greeted with two videos. One of them was the one where Xi Wan pushed Jiang Ran.
In the video, everyone could clearly see that Jiang Ran had fallen to the ground before Xi Wan could even touch her, and shortly after that, the media had swarmed them to take photographs of the incident.
It was obvious that this was a plot specifically targeting Xi Wan.
The other video was that of Jiang Ran making a phone call in a corner. The jealousy in her voice could be clearly heard in the video.
“That’s right. I want Xi Wan’s future to be completely ruined. Get your men to expose online that she has a sugar daddy. …Evidence? Can’t you just randomly find someone who looks similar to her and take a couple of photos? Why do I have to teach this to you?”
“As long as you can get it done, money isn’t a problem.”
The naked evidence was right in front of them. Under the high-definition lens, Jiang Ran’s ferocious and proud expression could be clearly seen. She simply couldn’t refute this evidence.
The netizens were silent, and so were Jiang Ran’s fans who had previously hated on Xi Wan.
The anger in the ones who had been fooled by this scheme was unimaginable. Soon, a tidal wave of criticism swept the internet, but it wasn’t directed at Xi Wan this time.
<Jiang Ran is too vicious—she plotted behind everyone’s backs so much just to get a role. Since she’s so good at plotting, why doesn’t she become a director instead?>
<Go and film one of those royalty dramas.>
<Oh my God, is this the real entertainment industry? It’s so scary. Jiang Ran is such a schemer.>
< to think that I liked you so much before…I didn’t expect you to be such a disgusting person. Get lost! >
< Your presence is a disgrace to the entertainment industry! >
< Jiang Ran, get out of the entertainment industry! >
< get out +1 >
…
Jiang Ran, who was drinking in her apartment and preparing to celebrate, was dumbfounded when she saw a large number of comments flooding her comment section. Especially among those who scolded her, there were a few fans who had liked her for a few years. She immediately sobered up.
When she saw that her deeds were exposed , the phone slid down from her hand.
It’s finished! Her reputation was completely ruined!
No! She still had a chance. She wasn’t the only celebrity who did this kind of thing. She was just accidentally discovered. As long as the company was willing to protect her, she could still make a comeback!
