Chapter 261: Intimacy, Exposed (2)

“No problem!” Si Fuqing gave an OK gesture. “I wouldn’t mind if you sent me a photo as proof of my excellent taste.” The dinner was quickly finished.

Feng San escorted Yu Xiheng to his study.

“Uncle Nine, who exactly taught Miss Si her medical skills?” Feng San wondered aloud. “She can perform brain surgeries that even Dr. Lin couldn’t, and she can treat legs as well.”

Though both are medical fields, orthopedics and neurology are completely different.

Yu Xiheng’s expression was cold and distant. “If you really have nothing else to do, go water the plants.”

Feng San swallowed the rest of his questions and quickly exited the study.

As an underling, his status was evidently low.

Maybe he should buy Yu Xiheng some clothes too?

It seemed like a feasible idea.

The next morning, Si Fuqing arranged leaves for Xu Xiyun and Xie Yu, and the three went to the private hospital.

Grandma Xu was awake and chatting with a nurse.

She was overjoyed to see Xu Xiyun. “Xiyun! Aren’t you supposed to be at training? Is the show over?”

“Grandma!” Xu Xiyun grasped her hand. “How are you feeling?”

“Much better,” Grandma Xu smiled. “Make sure to thank Teacher Si properly. When you become a big star, remember to repay her. We must never lose our integritv ”

Xu Xiyun solemnly agreed, “I will.”

After spending some time with his grandmother, Xu Xiyun returned to the training camp.

The director called Si Fuqing over.

“Teacher Si, what should we do about this situation?” The director was distressed. “I swear, I don’t want Xu Xiyun to drop out, but just now... the higher-ups took over our Weibo account, saying they’ll announce his withdrawal today.”

Xie Yu was an absolute powerhouse, while Xu Xiyun was the hard-working underdog.

Both were fan favorites.

The director had watched Xu Xiyun rise from one of the last places to his current ninth position.

He marveled at Xu Xiyun’s potential and growth.

“I’m aware,” Si Fuqing said calmly, leaning on the sofa. “I’ve prepared the money for breaking the contract. Let him first terminate his contract with Wangchuan Entertainment, then I’ll sign him to another agency.”

The director gasped in surprise. “Teacher Si is paying for the contract termination?”

At Wangchuan Entertainment’s headquarters, the CEO was leisurely enjoying his afternoon tea when his door burst open.

He frowned, “What’s the rush about?”

“CEO, we’ve posted the withdrawal announcement as you requested, but public opinion is out of control!” the PR manager wiped his sweat. “Both our and the show’s official Weibo accounts are bombarded with comments. The show’s director and producer are very displeased. What if they reveal the truth?”

“Are you asking me about such a trivial matter?” the CEO asked nonchalantly. “If public opinion gets out of control, so be it. Can public opinion solve the problem? Just let it be. In a few days, netizens will be distracted by something else, and the trending topics can be pulled back.”

It was the typical trick entertainment companies used.

The PR manager nodded while he wiped the sweat off of his forehead and left to manage the situation.

He had just paid a hefty sum to pull down the trending topics when a new one appeared :

#SiFuqingSpeaksUp#

The pinned- post read.

[@SiFuqing: Forcing popularity brings divine retribution. Be careful, or you might not live to see it.]

Si Fuqing rarely posted on Weibo, let alone selfies, but her fans checked her page daily. The reposts and likes surged.

Her fans were surprised to see her post at this time. They clicked in excitedly, only to be puzzled and angry by the cryptic message.

Who made their idol personally address the issue, leaving them no room to defend her?

Show fans quickly joined in.

[Is Teacher Si aware of some insider information?]

[We demand the truth! I can’t accept Xu Xiyun’s withdrawal just like that. He shone on stage, his eyes sparkle when he is dancing, he truly loves performing! ]

[Sobbing, Teacher Si really is a divine mentor, standing up for little Xu.] The PR manager bravely returned to the CEO’s office to report.

“This Si Fuqing, she’s even risking her own career,” the CEO sneered. “Contact Tianle Media. Do they still want to collaborate with us? If they can’t control Si

Fuqing, I’ll give the web drama lead role to someone else.”

Wangchuan Entertainment, though not as big as Tianle Media, held significant sway in the industry, evidenced by Xu Xiyun’s former agency’s bankruptcy.

Wangchuan was preparing a fantasy web drama, adapting a popular novel.

Tianle Media wanted Meng Xue for the female lead, and negotiations were underway.

The PR manager left again, sweating, to make the call.

But before he could finish, a new trending topic shot up, close to number one.
