Chapter 598: Isn’t this an Invasion of Other People’s Privacy?
The girl group led by Vera did not have the intention to compare themselves to Jiang Yuning from the very beginning. After all, all of them were still unknown newcomers in the entertainment industry.
However, after many recent comparisons done by the media and public, the young girls could not help but feel a little frustrated. They also had their temperament too! After participating in the recent idol competition, coupled with the packaging done by Vera, they ushered in a little fame and popularity and they naturally became a little more emotional.
The three girls were all less than eighteen years old.
One of them has a more neutral and carefree personality. Therefore, even though she felt a little uncomfortable, she also felt that no matter what it was, Jiang Yuning was still her senior after all. To be honest, she also knew that this incident was not caused by Jiang Yuning at all.
The other girl was relatively quiet and had a somewhat arrogant personality. Moreover, she also had a very cold and mysterious aura. She did not bother to put any of her time and energy to focus on anyone else but she simply focused all of her own attention on her own performance.
Then, there was also the last girl named Jenny. Jenny was very beautiful and she had a very lively and outgoing personality. Amongst the three girls, she spoke the most and she was the most sociable. Of course, she was also the one with the most thoughts and ideas. In other words, she was extremely restless.
When Vera selected her to be part of the girl group, she was also hesitant as she weighed the risks. After all, with this kind of personality, it would be easy for the girl group to get out of control. However, Vera could not find a better candidate other than Jenny for the time being who was equally as beautiful or talented.
Vera focused the most on Jenny and she was also the strictest with her. Vera also confiscated their cell phones during the entire duration of their competition. Even with this precaution, Jenny would eventually cause trouble for Vera.
It was already mid to late September. When the Almighty Girls made their debut and were announced on the media, the members of the girl group encountered many people in the media who kept asking the girls about their impression of Vera.
In the final analysis, the media were maliciously trying to trick these few girls into answering a few questions about Jiang Yuning. As the three girls were ranked very high in the competition, they would inevitably attract the attention of their rivals and competitors.
Moreover, they knew that the best way to attack them would be to mention Jiang Yuning.
Jenny’s answer was very official and professional at this time. It was obvious that she had been well educated and trained at first glance. However, she was not well equipped to handle the media’s persistent, precise and annoying questions.
“Do you think that the three of you can turn out to be the next Jiang Yuning?”
The expression on the girls’ faces changed immediately but they maintained a professional smile on their faces.
This was especially so for Jenny who was already burning with anger inside.
As soon as she saw this, Vera hurriedly stepped forward to stop the media and reporters from asking any further questions before she dragged the three girls out form the interview room. After that, she also reprimanded them and nagged at them for another half an hour to tell them that they should learn how to desensitize themselves to this kind of questions.
But it might be easy to say, but how could it possibly be that simple?
Since the three girls had been working really hard recently, Vera sympathized with them and she decided to grant them a one-day vacation so that they could have some time off for themselves. However, during this vacation, they were not allowed to use their cell phones or go on their social media accounts at all. They also had to give Vera an advance report on their location.
However, something unexpected happened that night.
It happened when Jenny met up with her friend for drinks and dinner. During the meal, Jenny got drunk and she started blabbering about all sorts of things. She did not even realized what she had said.
…
It was very hot in mid to late September and Jiang Yuning’s scenes were all very difficult and emotional. Moreover, the director also had very rigid expectations and requirements for each scene. Therefore, whenever it came to Jiang Yuning’s scenes, the director would always film it over and over again until he was finally satisfied.
Amongst them, the second female lead and the second male lead was most afraid to film any scenes with Jiang Yuning. This was because they knew that they would have to film the scenes over and over again until the director was finally convinced.
Even though the incident relating to Dongdong have attracted a lot of attention from the public, they felt that this was not a movie that was produced at a very high cost. Moreover, the genre of the movie was not something that everyone would be interested in. Therefore, there were not much expectations for the movie at all.
Jiang Yuning was the only one who understood the director’s intention and that was, to win them an award for the movie.
Therefore, Jiang Yuning was more than willing to cooperate with the director and the director was also very willing to push Jiang Yuning to the best of her ability.
And Jenny’s drunk remarks started circulating on the media and internet at this time.
@EntertainmentToday: “One of the members of the Almighty Girls revealed important details and information about Jiang Yuning and Vera’s disagreement! She also exposed very huge secrets relating to the Lu family.”
Immediately afterwards, there was also a recording of Jenny’s voice. Even though the surrounding environment was very noisy, because of the close distance and proximity, the other party recorded Jenny’s words very clearly.
“The media is always asking us about Jiang Yuning nowadays…what is so great about Jiang Yuning? Let me tell you…Jiang Yuning’s backup is going to collapse soon! Something huge has happened to the Lu family!”
“Yeah, just look at Jiang Yuning’s ability. If it weren’t because of our agent, then would she even be able to achieve all that she has already achieved today? Why don’t we talk about who…was the one who actually picked up all those variety programs for her?”
“I hate her…I hate that the media is constantly asking us about that old woman, Jiang Yuning! She is even saying that she wants to semi-retire now! Who does she think she is? She has already been an actress for so many years but she has not even won a single award before! Don’t she feel embarrassed or ashamed of herself at all?”
“What is so great about Jiang Yuning? Do not be fooled by her! She is not a good person at all!”
Even though it was intermittent, there was no way to deny that it was indeed Jenny’s voice in the voice recording.
She had obviously been tricked.
As soon as this incident broke out, everything started circulating on the internet like an explosion.
What happened to the Lu family?
Jiang Yuning was going to semi retire?
It could be said that this recording of Jenny was so informative and detailed that everyone in the entertainment industry were also in shock.
[So, it seems as though the drama between Jiang Yuning and Vera is not over yet? I still can’t believe that Vera would actually tell the members of her girl group such important and private information about Jiang Yuning.]
[I have to say that Jenny sounds a little jealous, but it is indeed true that Jiang Yuning has been very low-key recently. Do you think that the news about her semi-retirement could also be true then? Then, does that mean that…the Lu family…]
[Even though Vera has already stopped being Jiang Yuning’s agent, does that mean that she could go around telling people about Jiang Yuning’s life and personal information?]
[That is too lowly, right? Does this count as an invasion of other people’s privacy?]
[Jiang Yuning is really unlucky. Why did she encounter such an unreliable agent?]
[Can a former agent expose an artiste’s privacy at will?]
[Based on the young artiste’s tone, it seems as though she wants to challenge Jiang Yuning heads-on!]
[Jiang Yuning did not even say anything about them being annoying yet but this artiste is already blaming Jiang Yuning when people are comparing them to her? Shouldn’t she be aware of the fact that Jiang Yuning is also one of the reasons why they are gaining popularity now? To think that she is actually exposing other people’s private information out in public! She is simply too malicious and lowly!]
After the incident broke out, Vera received a lot of phone calls. She could simply ignore the calls when she saw that it was from the reporters or media but she had no choice but to answer Shen Yichen’s phone calls.
“Vera, don’t you think…that you are too much? I allowed you to leave when you wanted to be in charge of other new artistes. I allowed you to do so when you told me that you wanted to stop handling Jiang Yuning. Look what happened now? Your new artistes did not only cause trouble for you and the company but she also stabbed Jiang Yuning in the back. She actually has the audacity to talk about the Lu family in public! Don’t you think that you owe me an explanation for this?”
Vera felt a lump in her throat. A thousand words were stuck in her throat but she did not know how to explain herself.
She could tell Shen Yichen that she was not the one who leaked the news and information to the girl group. She had never once thought about doing something like that.
But, who would believe her now?
“This matter is not handled well at all. You should just take the blame and responsibility for it and resign immediately because I cannot trust you anymore.”
