Chapter 31: Chapter 31: 031 Super cool!

In the evening, as the sunset receded, it left behind a dazzling trace of brilliance at the edge of the sky, like the luminous tail of a phoenix, stunningly beautiful.

Inside Huahai’s president’s office, Yan Shixiu was confirming the final version of the public relations draft.

The screenwriter of “Smoke” had sent over a screenshot of Shi Lan’s messages at that time, and he thought it could be made public because he recognized Shi Lan’s endorsement and suggestions as an actress. Therefore, he did not want others to misunderstand Shi Lan’s motives and intentions. However, for the parts that involved spoilers, they just needed to be blurred.

At that moment Yan Shixiu had only seen a copied version sent by the screenwriter, but now, looking at the original, he could even more vividly imagine the disdainful expression on Miss Shi Lan as she typed each and every word.

Checking the sending time, four-thirty in the morning?

The young lady doesn’t sleep at midnight but instead works so hard?

Yan Shixiu frowned and then called the screenwriter, “Which part needs to be blurred? The PR department doesn’t have a grasp of it. This message should be released by you personally, it’s more appropriate.”

After some thought, the screenwriter nodded on the other end of the line, feeling that Yan Shixiu’s concern was thorough.

However, no sooner had the two of them ended the call than the assistant knocked on the office door. Yan Shixiu looked up with a cold voice, “What is it?”

“The two main actors of ‘Smoke’ have started another dispute over An Lan on set.” The assistant explained while handing Yan Shixiu the video Shi Lan had posted, “How does she manage to cause such troubles?”

Hearing the words “cause troubles,” Yan Shixiu sharply glared at the assistant.

The assistant shrank back instinctively and quickly corrected himself, “Sorry, President Yan, it’s my damn mouth.”

Yan Shixiu took the phone, watched the video, and afterwards, his eyebrows relaxed, “You call this causing trouble?”

So arrogant she could be plucked from the cosmos and you don’t think so?

Just look at what she said?

You’re still not working hard enough!

Sorry, I won’t change even if it kills me!

And that last ‘selfishly sentimental,’ isn’t that asking for a beating?

Gu Chengyu’s fans have cried, and his entire fanclub is hopping mad, nearly spitting blood.

“This… doesn’t count as… trouble?”

The whole world is now talking about the discord within the “Smoke” team, and the project might go south.@@novelbin@@

“Take a look at this.” Yan Shixiu handed his assistant the two versions of Fan Yan’s character design that the screenwriter had sent over.

The assistant, not understanding, flipped through them and finally, his eyes lit up, “This character design has been improved so brilliantly! Even though I have not read the original script, the character of Fan Yan, was originally a vase. With these changes, it elevates the entire story.”

“That was An Lan’s suggestion.”

The assistant paused for a moment and understood Yan Shixiu’s point, “So from start to finish, An Lan had no intention of adding any unnecessary love plots. She seriously wanted to discuss the character with the screenwriter. In that case, those messy accusations being leveled against her are truly uncalled for. An Lan posting that video isn’t a problem, it’s just… extremely haughty!”

President Yan was not surprised at all, asserting that Miss Shi’s nature was always such.

But he couldn’t deny that he was in a very good mood at that moment because he felt flattered by Shi Lan’s description of Gu Chengyu being ‘selfishly sentimental.’ Moreover, he could see that Shi Lan was paving the way for her future character, a female mogul reborn who still would not seek to please others.

Bad relations with the public? Doesn’t matter.

Hackers hurling insults? Doesn’t matter.

Fans withdrawing their support? Still doesn’t matter…

“What exactly did the two main actors of ‘Smoke’ argue about?”

“It’s all about targeting An Lan, isn’t it? Gu Chengyu’s fans are fiercely accusing An Lan of being a sycophant, saying she’s doing all sorts of nauseating things, especially with that last provoking video, deserving of death.” The assistant explained, “However, it was Chen Beini who let the cat out of the bag, creating such a big fuss. Gu Chengyu’s fans played no small part in that. They’re very good at shifting blame.”

Yan Shixiu looked up with a meaningfully deep expression at his assistant who had completely changed his attitude, and suddenly asked, “That influencer still thinks An Lan is into him?”

The assistant nodded.

President Yan, “Selfishly sentimental.”

Assistant, “???”

“The screenwriter of ‘Smoke’ will clarify on Weibo immediately, Huahai Public Relations will follow up. Defend An Lan’s attitude. Also, notify both main actors, if they don’t want to act, pack their things—leave early!”

The refined and handsome President Yan showed no mercy when protecting his own.
