Miss Ding held her breath and stared at Yun Liu, who rolled her eyes at her. “What? Too afraid to do it? Hire a professional; price isn’t an issue. Spread the news before their movie premiere. I want her to lose everything! You must incite public opinion against them!”
Miss Ding nodded slightly. She had a feeling this matter would get ugly fast. However, on the other hand, if they didn’t cause such a commotion, it would indeed be difficult for them to overshadow Yun Nan.
She had previously underestimated Fang Xi and thought she was just a half-baked manager who didn’t know how to play the game. She didn’t expect the b*tch to be so forceful. The woman had made off with several promising talents she had had high hopes for; she seemed to have a magic power that could firmly attract the people around her. Miss Ding had tried to persuade them to defect, only to fail numerous times. Yun Liu was anxious about Yun Nan’s rise to fame, while Miss Ding herself wanted to nip Fang Xi’s career in the bud!
The premiere of ‘4:30 P.M.’ was held at the Central Grand Theater. Mr. MO and his friends were the first guests to arrive; they and the media reporters were orderly seated. Despite the various doubts and slanderous voices outside, the people from Yun Nan’s studio didn’t seem affected.
Even though Mr. MO and the other big shots in the film industry were holding the fort, the reporters were so tortured by curiosity that they couldn’t sit still. Before the screening, the reporters gathered together and whispered to each other. Then, some reporters pulled the staff members aside to ask them questions. The big shots sat staidly in the front row while the noise behind them rose in volume.
The lights hadn’t dimmed completely when Shi Nian and his group entered. A keen-eyed reporter noticed them and immediately exclaimed, “It’s Shi Nian! Shi Nian really came!”
The people in the back rows all stood up to take photos. Shi Nian went to greet Mr. MO and the others one by one and then waved to the back before he turned around and sat beside Mr. Mo.
The reporters excitedly inspected the photos they’d taken. One of them remarked, “Looks like we’ve got quite the scoop today! I didn’t expect Shi Nian would actually come. It seemed that the rumors weren’t groundless!”
“That’s right! This news will sell like hotcakes!”
“Mr. MO is here too! What an honor! Chairman Shi must have invited Mr. MO to hold the fort.”
“Didn’t you know? Mr. MO, Yun Nan, and Fang Xi are old friends, and Mr. MO appreciates them very much!”
“Really? Why haven’t I heard anything about this?”
“You have to get up to speed! Don’t you know what happened at Mr. Mots garden party?”
“The garden party? What happened at the garden party?”
“Oh! You guys don’t know! Then, forget it. Forget I said anything.”
“Hey, c’mon! Don’t leave me hanging like this! We don’t have as much power as you guys so we didn’t get the garden party’s invitation last time! Come on, buddy. Please, tell me! I’ll treat you to a meal later!”
It only took a few moments for the news of what happened at the garden party to spread like wildfire. At the time, Yun Zhang had spent a lot of effort to suppress the negative news to save his family’s reputation. However, his clout alone wasn’t enough to keep the various media outlets quiet. Everyone looked to Mr. MO and Shi Nian instead. Since Mr. MO and Shi Nian had instructed them to keep mum on the matter, naturally no one dared to spread it.
But, in the current situation, Mr. MO and Shi Nian had clearly lifted that restriction, so what else was there to worry about? The reporters who didn’t manage to enter the venue back then didn’t expect to receive such a scoop before the movie had even started and felt a little choked at the news.
“So, the wife Chairman Shi mentioned back then… was Yun Nan?”
“Hehe, he didn’t say, so we can’t say for sure either. But, the two just so happen to be here today; we can ask them about this directly.”
“I saw that photo; the two of them looked extremely sweet together. You don’t say. They do look like a matching couple.”
“Was Yun Nan also the woman in that ring advert? The one that caused all the female celebrities to change their hairstyles some time ago.”
“Gosh, seems like we might have a great haul today!” These voices gradually grew louder and more or less reached the front.
Mr. MO turned to stare at Shi Nian and asked, “Don’t you have anything to explain to me?”
“Didn’t I already explain it to you? My wife doesn’t want to make our relationship public. I can’t affect her career,” Shi Nian answered with a slight smile.
Mr. MO nodded. “Hm, that does sound like something Yun Nan would do.”
Shi Nian’s smile deepened. Mr. MO sized him up, sighed and said, “At that time, I wondered, ‘ What kind ofgirl did you marry that you’re actually willing to be a henpecked husband? It’s not surprising now that I know it’s Yun Nan.. That girl is worth it!”
