Before seeing Qin Ran, Boss w.a.n.g knew that Jiang Shanyi was the Yunguang Consortium’s senior member. After all, Yan Xi directly mailed everything to the Yunguang Consortium, and if Qin Ran didn’t want it, someone from the Yunguang Consortium would treat it as a treasure and respectfully return it.

The Grammy trophy that Yan Xi sent last time had ended in this state, but he had refused to accept it back.

Speaking of this, Boss w.a.n.g felt like Yan Xi was sometimes very bold.

In places like the entertainment industry, if Yan Xi didn’t have the Yunguang Consortium’s backing, he would have fallen from grace several years ago given his personality.

Yan Xi was also clear about this, so he hadn’t been surprised to see Jiang Dongye.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiuchen’s manager was speechless.

Although the Jiang family was strong, compared to the Yunguang Consortium, which was an Asian Big Boss…

He couldn’t help but look up at the sky. They weren’t comparable.

They finished recording at 5 pm, and although it was a little better when Qin Ran was around, it still wasn’t considered too bad. The effect of the evening tour to the garden that the production crew wanted didn’t appear…

The prepared horror house wasn’t used, either…

Because Qin Ran wasn’t around, the crew had even happily prepared a variety of colored lights…

The director stared at Qin Ling on the screen, speechless.

In the end, the a.s.sistant director comforted him. “Director, think about it, he’s much better than his sister! At least we didn’t have to use as many brain cells as we did last night, right? If it was his sister today, we would have wrapped up without even walking to the other half of the garden!”

The director felt like his rea.s.suring words were very reasonable.

Bai Tiantian had already taken a bath upstairs and changed into her clothes and a padded jacket. Maybe it was because she had been frozen the whole day, but her face was drained of color now.

The manager stood beside her, trying to comfort her. “Your luck has always been good. Trust me, it’ll be okay in a few days.”

He now had no other artist under his hands as he had taken full care of Bai Tiantian after terminating his contract with Tian Xiaoxiao.

Bai Tiantian was now his source of easy money, so he must stabilize her mentality.

After comforting her, he went downstairs to find the director, wanting to sound out opinions.

A familiar staff member took him to the editing room. Out of the staff members who all knew of Tian Xiaoxiao and Qin Ran’s affairs, he was most familiar with Bai Tiantian’s manager.

“We’ve been friends for many years, so let me tell you the truth.” He lowered his voice. “Cancel the contract with Bai Tiantian as soon as possible. After this program is over, she’ll be thrown to the cold palace.”

“Why?” The manager was horrified. “Wasn’t the production crew promoting her? What on earth happened?”

“Promoting her?” The staff sneered. “That was because the subordinate made a mistake. Miss Qin is President Jiang’s friend and also Tian Xiaoxiao’s friend. Knowing Tian Xiaoxiao’s past grievances with Bai Tiantian, she just asked President Jiang about her, but his subordinates mistook his intention and thought he wanted to promote Bai Tiantian.”

The manager pursed his lips. He looked calm on the surface, but his heart was overwhelmed, and his blood was flowing backward.

“You know what happened later on, don’t you? The show team was promoting Bai Tiantian initially, but unfortunately, the master Tian Xiaoxiao came. The director had even kicked her out ahead of time and flattered Bai Tiantian to no end. Otherwise, why did you think President Jiang came all the way to this small town? It was just to apologize to Miss Qin…”

The staff was a little gossipy and finally looked at the manager with some sympathy. “Tian Xiaoxiao is the first person that the Jiang Corporation wanted to promote to the top. This girl is good-looking and recognizable and has a good temper. She’s even an official disciple of the Beijing a.s.sociation’s Master Wei… Even if she’s not the next Film Emperor Qin, she’s not that far off. To sign such an artist, her manager had really used eight lifetimes of luck. I remember you used to manage Tian Xiaoxiao? Why did you suddenly cancel the contract and sign with Bai Tiantian? Aren’t you too unlucky? Did Sister Wen force you?”

Everything the manager doubted previously had come to a close.

Why were they suddenly promoting Bai Tiantian? Why did they ask Bai Tiantian to receive President Jiang, only for him to ignore her? It turned out that everything was because… it was the wrong person?

Stopping in his footsteps, he smashed his head and face in extreme panic, feeling like a dark cloud had enveloped him.

He didn’t even have the energy to talk to the director group anymore and directly returned to Bai Tiantian’s room, walking like a dead man.

In the beginning, he had terminated his contract with Tian Xiaoxiao to focus on promoting Bai Tiantian. Until today, he had patted himself on the back for terminating the contract with Tian Xiaoxiao, or he wouldn’t have his current achievements. But now, after listening to the staff member’s words…

In the small building.

Cheng Mu was packing up some things he had used these days.

After Jiang Dongye returned, he slept for a while and finally woke up. He was now sitting in the courtyard downstairs. “We’re leaving tomorrow morning?”

“Yes.” Cheng Mu expressionlessly pulled the zipper of the suitcase. “We’re departing at 5:30 am.”

Jiang Dongye crossed his legs and flipped through WeChat. He clicked on Gu Xichi’s profile and forwarded a piece of news to him—

[Regarding the things you knew… hopefully, it’s not too late for me to thank you!]

“So early?” Having received no reply, he put his phone on the table, glanced upstairs, and lowered his voice. “Miss Qin isn’t getting up?”

“Yeah, she’s very restrained now,” Cheng Mu thought for a while before replying.

Jiang Dongye was silent for a moment. “Restrained?”

“Yes. If this had happened last year,” Cheng Mu glanced at him and continued, “Miss Qin would have killed you without a word. You can ask Young Master Lu when he was in Yun Cheng. He saw Miss Qin fight a couple of times.”

Of course, this didn’t count. Miss Qin’s fight records from the first and second grades were truly impressive.

It was the most arrogant record he had ever seen and almost exceeded two pages. The most important thing was Master Juan didn’t even spare it a glance and didn’t erase it even though he could.

Of course, the most embarra.s.sing thing was still what happened to Beijing University. When he first went to go through the formalities, the teacher had actually praised the records as beautiful…

Cheng Mu thought back.

She would fight to solve disagreements??

After listening to him, Jiang Dongye silently poured himself a cup of cold tea. Only after he drank it did he feel his heart calm down.

Outside, Tian Xiaoxiao and Sister Wen spent a day recording the show and came back to find Qin Ran.

Qin Ran was upstairs, so Tian Xiaoxiao greeted Cheng Mu and the others before heading up.

As her manager, Sister Wen naturally had social means. After inquiring about Cheng Mu’s surname, she took out her phone.

Tian Xiaoxiao finished speaking with Qin Ran and came downstairs to find Sister Wen frozen in place.

“Are you okay?” she asked. Sister Wen had been calm when she heard of Jiang Dongye, but why did she look so shocked now?

Shaking her head, Sister Wen followed Tian Xiaoxiao.

After they were a hundred meters away from the small building, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Tian Xiaoxiao tilted her head. “Sister Wen, what on earth happened?”

“Do you know the surname of the driver who sent us today?” In a daze, Sister Wen turned back to the small building and answered without waiting for Tian Xiaoxiao, “His last name is Cheng.”

The Cheng family’s base in City C.

Cheng Mu had come to inquire about the situation.

The Second Hall Master was counting the goods and personnel. They would arrive at the airport before 7 o’clock tomorrow, so most of them were present except for a small team of people.

They were Cheng Raohan’s staff in City C and the core figures this time. The Second Hall Master knew that if there was any trouble at the airport, Cheng Raohan would probably come forward to save the situation.

At that time, he would help resolve Cheng Juan’s big mistake, so much of the goods would remain and not much damage would be caused to the Cheng family.

That was why he had sent the news to Cheng Raohan that day.

He antic.i.p.ated all these but never expected that Cheng Raohan was unwilling to clean up Cheng Juan’s mess, and had been so cruel to directly separate his team.

The Second Hall Master ma.s.saged his eyebrows and called for the team leader.

“Second Hall Master, our Eldest Young Master isn’t doing charity.” The team leader glanced at him with a smile. “The Third Young Master should clean up his own mess. Our Eldest Young Master won’t get himself involved.”

“This is for the overall interest of the Cheng family. The Eldest Young Master…” The Cheng family was now heavily divided, and Cheng Raohan had already started standing in lines to win talents.

He had always been impartial and had not stood on any side. Cheng Raohan had sent his confidant to privately find him in City C, but he had rejected him.

“Second Hall Master, you’ve worked hard on City C’s forces for several years. If you don’t want your power to shrink by half because of the Third Young Master’s misconduct, you should leave his force and join us. I can guarantee that the Eldest Young Master will be able to return your men and the goods to Beijing intact,” the team leader calmly said.

Walking with Cheng Raohan’s men meant that he had chosen a side, but the Second Hall Master was loyal to Old Master Cheng and couldn’t do such a thing.

He was determined to use Cheng Juan’s misconduct to wake Old Master Cheng up.

He just didn’t expect Cheng Raohan’s behavior…

Sitting down in low spirits, Cheng Mu, who had stayed silent at the back, calmly drank a cup of tea. “I’m going back first. Miss Qin is looking for me. Second Hall Master, meet me tomorrow on time.”

Hearing how calm he was, the Second Hall Master’s heart jumped, and he glanced up hopefully. “The Third Young Master has cleared the barrier?”

Cheng Mu looked blank. “What barrier?”
