At 5 pm that day, Ran Xueyi woke up first and didn't wake Song Yu Han up. She looked around the room and found her phone that she tossed on the bed before she fell asleep.
When she unlocked the screen, she saw several messages and calls on the screen and she felt tired just by looking at it. She opened a few important messages from Wu Qi about the process of making her entertainment agency official and making an announcement to the public.
Since Chestnut will be a new agency in the entertainment industry with only her as an artist under it, Ran Xueyi couldn't announce it until there were at least three or more artists signed under her company. But it wasn't easy to look for an artist who would transfer or even pick a small company that barely even started operating.
There were also the resources that Wu Qi secured just in case some artists that they had contacted signed under them. But for now, only Ran Xueyi had access to these resources that many coveted.
Ran Xueyi replied to his messages, telling him to keep the resources and roles they have in their hands.
After she was done sending her message, she scanned through the messages and ignored most of it. She only paused when she saw Tao Bojing's message.
[Senior Tao: Little Xueyi, there's a role in a drama I'm planning to produce and direct. If you have time, I hope you can take it as I think you suit the character perfectly.]
Ran Xueyi was slightly surprised, but it wasn't that much. Tao Bojing was a senior she met and worked with five years ago. It wasn't surprising that he didn't ask her if she was doing alright after what happened last night. He must be thinking that she was uncomfortable with people asking about it from her. Instead, he went the roundabout way and gave her an offer to appear in his drama as a way to comfort her instead.
She replied: [Thank you, senior. I can't accept it now since I already accepted a role in another drama.]
Soon after she sent this, Tao Bojing replied quickly as if he was waiting for her to answer his message.
[Senior Tao: There's no need to rush. I also have to direct a movie in the following months. We can start as soon as you finish with your drama.]
[Little Xueyi: Alright, senior. I'll accept your offer then ^_^]
Tao Bojing stared at the end of their conversation and sighed.
At this moment, his wife was lying next to him in bed and heard him sigh.
Su Ying asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you sighing?"
Tao Bojing sighed again and didn't hide anything from his wife. He said, "Do you remember Xueyi?"
Su Ying was silent for a few seconds before she said, "Oh, that junior sister you introduced to me five years ago? What about her?"
Tao Bojing didn't tell her since it was useless for him to say it and so, he clicked on the familiar icon of an app and showed her the top trending topic list and clicked on it. The page soon bombarded them with all the articles that everyone created about the issue and scandal surrounding Ran Xueyi, Ran Yue, and the young master of the Yang family, Yang Baihua.
Because the fans and some passersby made a very detailed summary of what happened in the party last night, Tao Bojing and Su Ying quickly read and understood the whole story.
After reading for several minutes, Su Ying turned silent. Even Tao Bojing, who was present at the party last night didn't say a word.
It was really surprising.
"Is... Is this really true?" Su Ying stuttered as she asked him.
"Seems like it, or else, Xiao Xueyi wouldn't react in that way last night... Wait, from what I could tell from last night, she seems clueless about the woman in the audio file... Could it be that when she confronted that young master Yang, she didn't know that it was Ran Yue who was with him?" Tao Bojing was extremely shocked.
Su Ying didn't comment and patted his hands. "Let's not talk about this anymore." She paused for a second and told him, "Don't you have a new project in your hands? Why don't you include her in that drama? Or maybe that movie you're currently working on."
Tao Bojing smiled silently at her. He was glad that he married a woman like his wife, who wouldn't senselessly get jealous about everything. But what he didn't know was that Su Ying was only acting like this was because it was Ran Xueyi. If it were anyone else, she wouldn't even glance at them and ruthlessly let them fall to their ruins.
A few years ago, Su Ying was an intern assistant director under an older director. As she was new and had a lot of dreams, she followed any order that the director told her to do. Because of that, she looked like an idiot running an errand for the entire drama crew. No one took her seriously and belittled her miserably.
And then one night, she almost fell under the schemes of the other crews who wanted to ruin her reputation by throwing her to a room used by the investors of the drama. As she was forced to drink several glasses of alcohol, Su Ying became drunk. No one cared about her. No one even looked in her way as these old investors tried to touch her. She tried to push them away, but they had a way with their words to render her weak.
She could only cry and manipulate her mind into thinking that everything was a nightmare.
But who could have known that she would hear someone saying, "Aren't you guys scared that your tiny, little birds will fall off if you continue doing this kind of nightly activity?"
Unexpectedly, it was Ran Xueyi who came to stop them.
And surprisingly, soon after she got involved, no one in that room or the crew ever tried to pick on Su Ying for the rest of her days until the day Ran Xueyi left the entertainment circle.
