Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

After driving for a while, Shen Yan noticed in the rearview mirror that a sports car had been following them.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and ignored the car. Then, she drove straight into the parking lot of her apartment.

The sports car following behind them disappeared finally. After parking the car, Shen Nian walked with Chen Nian towards their apartment while talking and laughing.

She bought the apartment opposite Chen Nian as she wanted to stay close to her. In addition, they could help each other out easily with such proximity.

Shen Yan went back to her room to rest alone. She was very tired after a busy day, so she took a shower and rested.

The next morning, Shen Yan was woken up by Miss Na's phone call.

Hello, Miss Na? Shen Yan did not open her eyes yet. Then, she said in a daze, What's wrong?

Miss Shen, it's like this. Our film, The Way of the Stars', has to sign a release contract with all the major cinemas, but none of them are willing to sign the contract with us.

Miss Na's despondent voice came from the phone.

Shen Yan's sleepiness disappeared instantly. She sat up abruptly and pressed her brows. She confirmed once again. That's strange. What's the reason?

It should be because of the role

Miss Na's voice was melancholic. She almost implied that it was because of Shen Yan.

The expression on Shen Yan's face grew more solemn. She pursed the corners of her lips till her lips turned pale. Then, she continued, Okay, I got it. You can put together a list of the cinemas that are not willing to sign a release contract with us now. I'll head to the company in a while.

She hung up the call and got up to wash up. Then, she ate a simple breakfast and before driving to the company.

Miss Na came over when she reached her office.

She stood at the door and knocked.

Come in! Shen Yan stated.

Miss Na walked in and handed the document in her hand to Shen Yan. She said in a low voice, Miss Shen, this is the list of cinemas that are not willing to cooperate with us.

Shen Yan took the document from her hand and examined it carefully. If she was not mistaken, it seemed that all the cinemas in Z nation were not willing to cooperate with them.

Then, Miss Na handed the statistics to Shen Yan and added, There are still some small cinema chains that are willing to cooperate, but the prices they offer are very low.

Shen Yan frowned. As Imperial Star Entertainment was one of the top companies in the country, it was surprising that someone was not willing to give them any face. If she guessed correctly, there was somebody targeting her.

Miss Na frowned slightly and couldn't help but say, Miss Shen, the TV series, movies, and endorsements that our talents have just signed are all in the process of being terminated

Now, Shen Yan was completely sure that someone was deliberately trying to suppress Imperial Star Entertainment.

Miss Na was a little worried that Shen Yan was not clear about the current situation within the entertainment industry. Thus, she explained slowly, All of our investments in The Way of the Stars' will go down into the drain if all the major cinemas are not willing to release it. In addition, if our talents' TV series, movies, and endorsements are canceled, the morale of our company will become unstable, and we might lose our talents.

Miss Na, go and find out who is behind this! Shen Yan glanced at the list and frowned slightly. She added, You don't have to worry about the rest. If the talents want to cancel their contracts, then they may do so. The talents that terminated their contracts will never appear in any of Imperial Star Entertainment's productions.

What about those who are unwilling to terminate their contract? Miss Na inquired.

For the time being, they won't receive any benefits and will get treated the same as before, Shen Yan said with a smile. She leaned back indolently after Miss Na left.

The Way of the Stars did not leak any information at the beginning of the filming. It was after bumping into Fu Xiaoxiao that brought everyone's attention to her starring in The Way of the Stars. Afterward, the talk about boycotting her debut emerged.

On the surface, this matter seemed logical, but in reality, there were a lot of interests involved behind the scenes. If her trending searches were arranged by someone on purpose, then that person was really good to her and willing to spend money on her.

It was just that she did not know what the person behind it wanted to do.

That afternoon, Miss Na handed the information from the investigation to Shen Yan. We've found out the culprit, Miss Shen.

Shen Yan nodded and took it. She looked down and flipped through it. She couldn't help but laugh after reading it. So it's the Wang family.

Shen Yan took her eyes off the document, looked up at Miss Na, and stated, The meeting will start in half an hour!

Okay! Miss Na replied and walked out.

After coming out of the office, Miss Na's heart, which had been in her throat all this time, finally settled down.

In the past, when she did not know Shen Yan's identity, she always thought that Shen Yan was gentle and amiable. After knowing her identity, although Shen Yan behaved the same as usual, her aura became so suffocating when she worked that it was hard for people to breathe.

For Shen Yan, the meeting went smoothly, and she handed her arrangements down.
