Chapter 365: Visit from the Crew
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A major safety accident happened at the construction event location of Yi City, and it became a hot topic on the Internet.
Yi Kun had hired many paid netizens who would pretend to be whistleblowers so they could vaguely expose the change in the Yi Corporation’s rights.
Many people on the internet believed it and targeted Yi Zheng, pointing out that he had caused such a huge safety accident to fight with his uncle for power.
Shi Man hurriedly took a few glances at the overwhelming online criticisms before turning off her cell phone. Her face was extremely cold.
Meng Hui quietly sized up her expression and asked tentatively, “CEO Shi, should we help President Yi clarify? Now that the netizens are all on the opposite side of President Yi, I’m afraid the Yi Corporation is not doing well.”
Shi Man shook her head gently and drummed her fingers on the table out of habit. “We don’t have to interfere in this matter. Let Yi Zheng resolve it himself. 1 have other missions for you to do.”
“What brief do you have for me?” Meng Hui immediately straightened her attitude and looked like she was all ears.
Shi Man pointed at the entertainment news on the table and said thoughtfully, “The daughter of the Lin Corporation suddenly brought in funds. I’m very interested in this matter now. I’ll leave it to you.”
“Huh?” Meng Hui did not expect the mission Shi Man handed her at this juncture to be entertainment news!
She was stunned for a second before reacting in shock. “CEO Shi, this doesn’t seem to have anything to do with us, right?”
“Of course it’s related.” Shi Man recalled the woman she had met in the cafeteria last time who claimed to be the biological niece of the Lin family. She sneered sarcastically and said, “This is the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Yue. My brother just signed this high-profile production team.”
Once bitten twice shy.
Moreover, now that two brothers had gotten into trouble because of a woman, Shi Man had to be careful.
Meng Hui nodded in confusion. For the first time, she was trying to reach into the entertainment industry.
Fortunately, the Shi family had a lot of connections and had built up a reputation. It did not take her much effort to investigate. After tidying up, she immediately reported it to Shi Man excitedly.
“CEO Shi, Lin Yue seems to be really here for Third Young Master this time! That production team had originally planned to have a female lead, but Miss Lin used her capital to squeeze her out before inserting herself as the new lead. Now, this matter is still spreading like wildfire in the industry, but no one dares to discuss it in person.”
“Yes.” Shi Man stood up with a smile and patted her shoulder. “Looks like we have to go to the production team to visit. Come with me.”
“Yes…” Meng Hui felt as if a cluster of electric currents had suddenly flashed past the place she had patted. Although Shi Man was all smiles now, she still keenly smelled a trace of danger.
It seemed that Miss Lin was really unlucky this time. If she provoked Shi Man, she would probably not be able to keep her spot in the entertainment industry.
In the production team, the director was arranging for the actors to read the script. This time, the drama was mainly about the sudden explosion before the New Year.
Therefore, the script was written in a hurry. The actors could only see the script for the first few episodes. The drama would be filmed and broadcast at the same time. Developments in the plot would be changed at any time according to the audience’s online comments.
Lin Yue sat in the middle. On her left was the male lead, Shi He. Other than the two of them, the other supporting actors would always peek at Lin Yue from time to time while reading the script.
The actress whom she had nudged out this time had once worked with Shi He in a movie and had a good relationship with him. Therefore, everyone guessed that Best Actor Shi would deliberately embarrass Lin Yue during filming and embarrass her.
However, this group of actors who were watching the show were quickly disappointed.
Shi He had always been strict with himself in the production team. During the entire process of reading the script, he did not reveal any excess emotions. Even when it was time for his scene with Lin Yue, he did not show any disgust.
The director looked at the two protagonists who were quite compatible, in satisfaction, and the worry in his heart gradually dissipated.
He could not afford to offend either the Lin family or the Shi family. If the two of them really fell out on the spot, he would probably suffer the most.
After the first round of reading, the director wiped his sweat and was about to heave a sigh of relief when he saw the assistant rush in from outside.
“Director Zhang, the daughter of the Shi family is here to visit the production team!”
Shi He jumped up from his chair almost immediately and grabbed his wrist in surprise. “My sister is here. Where is she?”
“Brother, I’m here.” Shi Man stood at the office door with Meng Hui with a smile and lifted her arm slightly against the light.
Shi He happily gave Shi Man a big hug in public. Then, he patted her head and said dotingly, “Why did you think of visiting work? Isn’t the company very busy recently?”
During this period of time, Shi Man had been busy rebuilding the city and almost did not go home to eat. The siblings had not spoken properly for a long time.
Shi Man smiled and pointed in the direction of the office. “Is it convenient to talk inside? Brother, I specially put down my work to accompany you today..”
