Chapter 193 – 14 years old… That was so far away! Would she even be alive then? (1)
The long National Holidays had just concluded and the paparazzi, who couldn’t bear to lay low for too long, started releasing gossip within the entertainment circle again.
Among them was one on Lin Yiyi, whose pictures were taken the one day that she went to the amusement park with Lu Xun and her children. Luckily, the pictures were somewhat blurry and she had dark shades on. It was impossible to tell for certain who the woman in the pictures was.
That being said, it was not entirely impossible for anyone who was willing to spend enough time on it to get to the bottom of it.
Luckily, Xinri Media’s Public Relation team was extremely competent. And they were on top of this way before Shengshi Entertainment took any action.
The news had been removed before it could even make their way onto the most trending list. Thus, it did not stir up anything online at all.
As often as Lin Yiyi seemed to end up on the most trending list, the company has a very highly-compensated and competent Public Relation team on their payroll.
Their money did not go to waste!
Lin Yiyi dodged a bullet successfully!
Not everyone was as lucky as her though.
Over a long vacation, when one had the perfect opportunity to take a break and have some free time on hand, it was very easy for one to stray.
An article titled Affair between Zhang Xiying and Yu Yi, a popular, up and coming new star, exposed! The two of them travelled to Japan together over the National Holidays! drew a lot of attention online.
Ever since Zhang Xiying and Meng Ran had been married, topics on Zhang Xiying had never stopped.
Both of their fans rooted for them and thought that the two of them were great together. They were both good looking and solid on their acting skills. Both of them were almost always devoid of scandals. They were the pure ones within the entertainment circle.
Low and behold, it had been barely six months since their wedding – meaning, they should still be in their honeymoon period – when a news like this broke!
Technically, Zhang Xiying and Lin Yiyi were completely unrelated.
But this scandal came so abruptly!
Tao Jiahui handed Lin Yiyi a document, “My Classmate had just kicked off this month and Zhang Xiying and Yu Yi had just joined the filming crew yesterday.”
Sometimes, it was normal for a star and the production team to leak some scandals in order to drum up some publicity for a new show.
But the netizens were very sensitive. Scandals like that for a married woman was normally not a good idea!
My Classmate was a web series. Web series adapted from webnovels had been very popular as of late, especially for someone like Yu Yi with his pretty face. Xinri Media, who was the newest investor in My Classmate, had high hopes for him.
Tao Jiuhui, too, had high hopes for this.
This was the first time Lin Yiyi found out that her company had invested in a show with Zhang Xiying in it.
Naturally, Tao Jiahui was well aware of the relationship between Zhang Xiying and Lin Yiyi.
As such, she asked her boss cautiously, “Should we swap out Zhang Xiying?”
“The hype is her business. I don’t care as long as the project is profitable.” Lin Yiyi had no particular feelings toward Zhang Xiying. At most, she was the wife of her ex-husband.
“Wonderful. Publicity will always come with topicality.”
That was an optimistic way of looking at it.
Most importantly, the purpose of her starting a company was to make money!
Even though she wasn’t aware that Zhang Xiying was in the show in the beginning, switching out the actress at this point would be a loss for the production team.
And the production team’s budget came from her Xinri Media. Meaning, the production team’s loss would be her loss!
At this point in time, this was no longer just about her personal preference.
Lu Xun, who had just come to pick up Lin Yiyi, also heard an earful from Xinri Media’s gossipy employees.
He felt that this incident was quite offensive! He didn’t want Lin Yiyi to be the only one who was offended.
Inside Xinri Media’s breakroom, Lu Xun took the opportunity to make a call when there was nobody around.
