Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Yun Liu angrily swept everything on the desk to the ground, but it still wasn’t enough, so she kicked her chair hard and felt a sharp pain bloom from the tips of her toes. Yun Liu fell to the ground, and when the pain subsided, she hugged her knees and cried.
Gu Jing and Gu Xiang came to Yun Entertainment and made a scene just now, not giving her identity as the president of Yun Entertainment, nor her identity as the Gu family’s daughter, any regard at all.
The two even warned her before they left, “We’ll make sure you regret it if you dare to ruin Gu Fei and the Gu family’s reputation again!” The staff and security at the door had watched the two Gu family ladies stride off in fear. No one dared to come forward to help her.
Yun Liu felt aggrieved, thinking, ‘Why am I always the one being crushed underfoot?
Nothing was going Yun Liu’s way. Liang Han had only sent his assistant to discuss a collaboration with her that day. Then Gu He appeared out of nowhere, and she just had to go and be a busybody. Not only did she not get any thanks for it at home, but the project with Liang Han also got shelved. That planning director, Ding Ning, said their boss had gone overseas for work, but it was fine because she could just contact him if there was anything to discuss.
‘ What’s fine about that?!’ Yun Liu mentally fumed. She wanted to use this opportunity to date Liang Han, not talk with a planning director!
As for Madam Liang, Yun Liu wanted to visit her, but she was again met with rejection. Yun Liu secretly thought that Gu Fei’s reputation had affected her. After all, she was only able to get close to the Liangs because of her status as the Gu family’s daughter, but Gu Fei’s reputation was now so tarnished that even she was affected.
Furthermore, the Gu family had somehow pinned the blame for Gu Fei’s scandal on her! ‘ What kind ofrotten luck do I have? Yun Liu inwardly wailed.
Tan Ning pushed the door open to enter Yun Liu’s office and was shocked at the mess she saw. She was relieved when she spied Yun Liu crouched in a ball behind her desk. Tan Ning handed Yun Liu a tissue and called out, “President
Yun.”
Yun Liu raised her head to look at Tan Ning. Her tears had ruined her makeup, and she looked hideous. Tan Ning inwardly sighed and gently said, “Xiao Yun called me, so I rushed back. How did something like this happen? How could the Gu family’s young ladies be so unreasonable?”
Yun Liu stood up with Tan Nings help, feeling much more at ease with Tan Ning before her. However, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed, too. “Well, this wouldn’t have happened if you’d done a better job shifting the blame onto Yun Nan like I told you to.”
Tan Ning looked helpless as she replied, “Yun Nan is too good at whipping up the media and playing hardball. Their legal department collects negative news about them on the Internet every day; their methods of recording evidence are truly outrageous. The average small media outlet doesn’t dare provoke them and even rushes to curry favor with them.”
Tan Ning continued, “Yun Nan and her team know what the media needs and have always been very generous when it comes to releasing information. Therefore, there aren’t many media outlets that we can use against them. Some received word from their higher-ups and didn’t dare write their articles according to our agreed-upon draft. I’m still trying to settle this matter, and then this happened on your end. These media outlets want their exposé, and since Yun Innovations is a tough nut they don’t want to provoke, they all focus on us instead.”
Tan Ning had been in the entertainment industry for many years, but she’d never encountered such a tricky situation. She couldn’t believe how bad Yun Liu’s luck was; every time the girl was a step away from the top, she would always miss her footing at the most critical moment and end up at the bottom.
Tan Ning handed Yun Liu a makeup remover pad, and Yun Liu subconsciously
took out her mirror. Shocked by her appearance, she panically stuttered, “You —go outside first!”
“You should take a rest. I’ll arrange for the PR and legal departments to deal with these matters,” Tan Ning quickly stated.
When Xiao Yun saw Tan Ning come out of the office, she anxiously told her, “Tan Ning, everyone on the Internet is enjoying the show at our expense, and some are fanning the flames, saying that Yun Liu’s a backstabber and an evil woman with bad intentions. What should we do?”
Tan Ning took a deep breath and said, “Just take it easy; don’t panic. No amount of explanation will help at this point. Hurry and get the publicity department to write a few articles to expose a few scandals about some of our popular artistes. Let’s leave the matter until after we divert the public’s attention from
Yun Liu.”
Xiao Yun was about to cry as she held up her tablet. “Tan Ning, take a look at this. It’s a photo of Yun Liu falling down at the airport long ago. Yun Nan and
Shi Nian were there at the time. Someone said they were at the scene and saw Yun Liu try to pounce on Shi Nian and commented that Yun Liu is a super conniving b*tch.”
She continued, “Someone else claimed that the guy who fell beside her was Yun Liu’s boyfriend, and the two broke up right then because of Shi Nian. They said that Yun Liu is scheming and always likes to snatch other people’s things; she looks like an innocent and delicate beauty, but she’s actually a two-faced, manipulative woman. What should we do, Tan Ning?”
Tan Ning took the tablet and looked at the contents carefully. Then she instructed, “Go and try to find that man. We’ll take advantage of this matter’s popularity to hype Yun Liu’s fame up!”
“What? Uh, okay…” Xiao Yun was surprised and confused but still chose to obey unconditionally..
