Chapter 682 - Cheng Feixuan Is Leaving!
Chapter 682: Cheng Feixuan Is Leaving!
It might be a peaceful night for the Qiao family or a million more out there, but a storm was coming in the online community.
Xia Ning wasn’t the person in question, but she was connected in several ways.
The first breaking news was about Shen Donglai, who apparently had more mistresses than Fu Yao. Several other female celebrities were involved as well.
Just the other day at the promotion event of “Shengshi Weiyang”, Xia Ning showed her support for her uncle, saying that she believed in his moral integrity. But now, the news had come out with pictures and proofs, and even witnesses, contradicting everything Xia Ning had said.
However, the online community wasn’t concerned about Xia Ning’s wrong prediction. On the contrary, they lashed out at Shen Donglai for how shameless he was. Many expressed their sympathy for Xia Ning and Shen Tianlang for having such a father/uncle.
The business of the Shen Group had been in a critical condition lately because of the negative information concerning the family of its president. Their continuously falling stock price had reached its daily limit after the news got out.
The second piece of news was about Cheng Feixuan, the award-winning actress. She had been with SE Entertainment for 10 years by now and her contract had terminated. She was going to switch companies and sign a new contract with Chengtian Entertainment instead.
According to some inside information, Cheng Feixuan had chosen to leave because she was unhappy with the resource distribution of her old firm.
And it was suggested that the problem laid in Xia Ning, her former coworker, who had been given much better resources.
Xia Ning had only been an actress for two years, but not only had she acted alongside award-winning actors, but she had also been consistently given parts in several major productions. The leading female role in the film directed by Zeng Jun had been so popular that many A-list actresses weren’t able to get it, but the role ended up going to Xia Ning.
It had been rumored that she had only been able to get the leading role in “The City of Desperation” because she had slept with the right people. Although Director Zeng had cleared her name in public, some jealous people would still try to stir up trouble.
As the second-largest shareholder of SE Entertainment, not only was Xia Ning an actress, she was also a good friend of Young Master Zheng of SE Entertainment. It was only natural that she was given the best opportunities.
Moreover, her father used to be a director and a screenwriter, her mother was the daughter of the Shen family, and Zeng Jun was an old family friend of hers. Everything had suggested that it didn’t matter how well Xia Ning could act. She was well-connected enough to get everything.
As an award-winning actress, Cheng Feixuan had gained a large fan base after acting for so many years. Xia Ning had been so popular lately and the internet was never lacking young cynics, who wouldn’t miss this chance to share their opinions.
A Weibo topic attracted the most attention, which read “Cheng Feixuan is to leave SE Entertainment, suspected of having been robbed of resources by a new coming actress”. The topic gained more than 100000 comments overnight.
“Sister Feixuan should have left a lousy company like SE Entertainment a long time ago. She’s got enough talent and beauty and she will shine wherever she goes.”
“SE Entertainment would choose some newbie over an award-winning actress like Cheng Feixuan. What were they thinking? What movies have Xia Ning played in so far? She’s got more attention then she deserved. Being on front pages just isn’t enough. She should go take acting lessons for a few years. Just because she’s a straight-A student doesn’t make her good at everything.”
“I heard that Zeng Jun had auditioned Cheng Feixuan, but the role ended up going to Xia Ning. Do I need to say more?”
“Resources are supposed to be given fairly. Only the talented ones deserve them. I heard Xia Ning has a TV series coming during the Chinese New Year and I can’t wait to see her getting trashed.”
“Can you give newbies a chance? Especially a newbie with so many flashy tags.”
Xia Ning woke up to this piece of news. She was surprised by how swiftly Cheng Feixuan had moved into action.
