“Did Mr. Lin… see something in Su Chengyang?”

“Su Chengyang… how is that possible?”

“She had such a big scandal with Yang Xiuyi, how could Starlight Entertainment sign her?”

“But she was the only one who received a business card, and the audition ended after she left…”

As for these doubts, they not only existed in Su Chengyang’s company. When the news reached Starlight Entertainment, several casting directors and Lin Yu sat in the car on their way back and witnessed Lin Yu answering a call from the CEO.

“Hello.” Lin Yu leaned back in his chair, with his long legs casually crossed and one hand propping up his forehead, looking out the window at the fast passing scenery. His expression was calm and serene.

There seemed to be something said on the phone, and Lin Yu lowered his eyes slightly, the long lashes casting a shadow on his face. His deep facial features, devoid of much expression, appeared somewhat cold and distant as he replied, “She hasn’t signed yet. She needs to think about it.”

The person on the other end of the phone was almost yelling in a frantic manner, and his sharp voice echoed in the quiet car. The several directors looked ahead with neutral expressions, while squeezed tightly together in the spacious back seat, avoiding the situation with the CEO’s fury that would await them once they returned to the company.

This matter would certainly have an impact on the company once it was leaked. But Lin Yu, who was caught in the storm, seemed to be unaware of the CEO’s anger. He remained calm and composed as he spoke to the person on the phone, “Well, I’m very satisfied with her.”

It seems that the person opposite has mentioned the entanglement between her and Yang Xiuyi. After listening for a moment, Lin Yu pondered and said, “It doesn’t matter, especially since Miss Su hasn’t agreed yet.”

The CEO said something again, and this person was probably out of patience and said bluntly, “Let’s settle the matter like this for now. If there are any issues, we can discuss them once she agrees.”

After speaking, he quickly hung up the phone once he heard a response from the other side.

The accompanying directors were extremely distressed, and they were sure to face a severe reprimand when they returned to the company.

One person spoke boldly, “General Manager Lin, this Miss Su’s online reputation is not good. If the company rashly signs her, I’m afraid…”

He didn’t continue speaking as Lin Yu looked up at him.

Lin Yu’s tea-colored pupils had a faint golden halo in the sunlight, and he squinted his eyes lightly and said, “I don’t care.”

The person was stunned, “…”

“Besides, Miss Su hasn’t agreed yet.”

Lin Yu withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look out the window, lost in thought. When his gaze swept over a familiar figure on the street, he paused, and his expression immediately became meaningful.

A director noticed his change in expression and followed his gaze out the car window, only to see Miss Su Chengyang, who had recently auditioned, wearing a shabby cheongsam sitting by the KFC window with a family bucket and a large cup of cola beside her. She was happily eating a chicken leg.

The director: “…”

Watching her enjoying the food so much, there was suddenly a feeling that she might really refuse to sign with Starlight Entertainment because she couldn’t stick to a diet.

The news of Su Chengyang possibly signing with Starlight Entertainment spread like wildfire the next day, almost throughout the entire entertainment industry.

On Weibo, there were posts everywhere about this matter. During her leisure time, Su Chengyang took a look and found that the posts were varied in style. Some criticized the marketing account for making money, some accused Su Chengyang of self-promotion and whitewashing, some criticized the hard backstage support, some blamed Starlight Entertainment for not caring about Yang Xiuyi’s feelings, and there were even some defending her.

Su Chengyang didn’t take these comments too seriously, but if she didn’t take them seriously, others would. This included Yang Xiuyi.

Su Chengyang also heard about this from Liu Wen’s phone call. When there was a bit of noise about this matter, Yang Xiuyi had made a scene in the office of that Mr. Lin. Signing Su Chengyang to Starlight Entertainment was like slapping his face, and he certainly wouldn’t just stand by.

“You wanna know what happened in the end?”

The gloating voice of Liu Wen came through the phone.

“Did Mr. Lin weigh the pros and cons and decide it was better not to sign me?”

“What are you thinking? Mr. Lin is not that superficial!”

A few days ago she was still calling him “Young Master”, now she upgraded to “Mr. Lin”.

“So what happened in the end?” Su Chengyang was really curious. She thought Mr. Lin might give up on her after she said she needed to think about it before notifying him.

Liu Wen’s voice was full of excitement: “If he’s not satisfied, Mr. Lin will terminate the contract without having to pay the penalty!”

Su Chengyang was stunned for a moment, then opened her mouth wide. She didn’t expect Mr. Lin to be so decisive. She was a little dumbfounded and asked, “He, he agreed to terminate the contract?”

“How could he? Leaving Starlight Entertainment in his current situation would be a dead end, wouldn’t it? Chengyang, you’re really hit the jackpot this time! Any other person wouldn’t have been able to resolve the conflict between you and Yang Xiuyi.”

Su Chengyang also felt as if she had hit the jackpot. It was inexplicable how she had transmigrated into this script, legally inherited the assets of the original owner, and seemed to have no chance of turning things around due to the scandal. But now she had been given an opportunity and she had grasped it perfectly. Everything seemed to be falling into place.

“Oh my god!”

On the other end of the phone, Liu Wen exclaimed in surprise.

Su Chengyang was just about to ask what was going on when she heard Liu Wen shout, “Su Chengyang, quickly check Weibo!”

“Huh? What’s going on?” Su Chengyang asked calmly.

“Go look for yourself.”

“Okay.”

Su Chengyang put her phone on speaker and opened Weibo.

“Search for ‘Starlight Entertainment’ ” Liu Wen instructed.

“Okay.”

Su Chengyang searched for Starlight Entertainment, and a related hashtag #StarlightEntertainmentResponse# popped up. She hesitated for a moment, although she had come across many posts asking Starlight Entertainment to respond on Weibo, she didn’t expect that they would actually respond.

She clicked into the topic, and the first Weibo post was from the official Starlight Entertainment account.

Starlight Entertainment official Weibo:

Our company has indeed been in contact with Miss Su, and we are interested in working with her. Miss Su is currently considering whether to sign with our company. Please do not cause her any trouble. Thank you.

Liu Wen excitedly read the Weibo post out loud, and Su Chengyang even felt like she was going to jump up with excitement.

After seeing this Weibo post, Su Chengyang couldn’t help but feel excited.
