Yin Wei listened as Bai Yun, who usually did not even dare to breathe loudly, suddenly became eloquent. Bai Yun had even guessed that she had no intention of stopping Ge Fei from getting close to her. Seeing as Bai Yun was about to overpower her in terms of aura, she could only change the topic. “Is Du Qing with you?”

Bai Yun’s gaze landed on Du Qing, who was setting up the fan club. “She’s at my place. She’s too busy dealing with public opinion to speak on the phone. I was indeed inconsiderate about this. Apologies.” She spoke unhurriedly, and her apology even carried a hint of nonchalance.

“Are you guys rebelling?” Now that she found an out, Yin Wei craftily seized it. She coughed and casually lectured them.

The lecture was mostly about how they should be reporting everything to the company. Seeing that Bai Yun did not respond, she simply explained the reason for her call. “President Li wants to meet you to discuss his plans with you.”

As Bai Yun still had to rely on the company to build her future, she did not turn down this meeting. Moreover, right now, she was the one with all the hype and could bring benefits to the company.

Although the original Bai Yun didn’t bring in much business for the company, she was still an artiste with some popularity at the moment. Notorious fame was still fame, after all.

The original Bai Yun’s current company, YJ Entertainment, was an unpolished company. After the owner became an upstart from making a killing in real estate development, he targeted the entertainment industry.

In the era of entertainment, the boss quickly and accurately selected a few high-quality trainees to participate in talent shows. After gaining popularity in the various talent shows, they brought a lot of benefits to the company. With that, the company established a foothold in the industry.

However, YJ Entertainment’s current situation was not optimistic, either. Due to the fast-food culture nature of talent shows, trainees would usually reach their peak when they debuted and no one would care about them after that.

Therefore, in order to bring continuous benefits and income to the company, the company could only regularly promote new talent show trainees.

However, according to the original book, the idol industry was still bleak and only made up a small slice of the domestic market share. In the past few years, because the talent shows were too crazy, the film and television authorities had already issued relevant documents to ban the emergence of talent shows. The hot market for talent shows was also facing a cold winter.

The current condition of YJ Entertainment was neither good nor bad. It was in an awkward phase and desperately needed a transformation, so it invested in a training course for actors with other companies of various sizes.

By the time she finished sorting out the company situation, the car would be arriving downstairs shortly.

Yin Wei came to pick her up downstairs. When she saw her, her expression was not too good. She walked in a hurry as she called out in a sharp voice, “Bai Yun!” Passersby mostly looked at Bai Yun with gloating eyes, waiting to watch a show.

Bai Yun took off her sunglasses. She had specially put on makeup before leaving the house today. The winged eyeliner at the end of her eyes made her eyes look extremely deep and sharp. She tapped her chin reservedly as she spoke. “Sister Yin.”

Yin Wei slowed down and her expression did not ease for a moment. In the end, she could only nod stiffly. “Talk to President Li properly later. Don’t do anything that doesn’t befit the occasion.”

Bai Yun raised her eyelids and took a closer look before responding softly.

Meanwhile, everyone was still stunned by her sudden change. The people in the company more or less understood Bai Yun’s personality and knew that she was timid and stupid. When they met again today, her temperament suddenly became stern and even faintly suppressed Yin Wei’s aura.

Was that still Bai Yun?

Everyone’s gaze landed on Bai Yun. When the elevator was about to close, Bai Yun looked up and took in their expressions.

She thought to herself, ‘It seems that almost everyone in the company knows that the original Bai Yun is easy to manipulate. The situation is really bad.’

The ding of the elevator reaching the floor snapped her out of her thoughts. She and Yin Wei walked into the boss’s office.

With a round head, President Li had a very amiable appearance. He narrowed his eyes as Bai Yun entered the office and took a slow sip of tea. “Little Bai.”

Bai Yun was speechless for a moment, wondering if she had come to the wrong set, but she still nodded reservedly. “Hello, President Li.”

President Li didn’t seem inclined to make things difficult for her. “What’s next?”

Bai Yun sized up the smiling president in front of her, trying to capture some useful information from his expression. Unfortunately, although the other party was not an actor, he was still a businessman who could navigate the business world with ease. His expression was also unreadable.

Bai Yun pondered for a moment. “I’ll be resuming work completely next, but I have a few requests.” She looked at President Li and, seeing that he still had a gentle expression on his face, continued, “I don’t accept lousy variety shows, lousy advertisements, or lousy dramas. I have to go through all the scripts. Otherwise, I won’t accept any of them. I need the company to give me some resources.”
