Chapter 90 - 90 Explain

90 Explain

“Don’t worry about that. This is Xi Wan’s own decision. We’re just outsiders. Let’s see how Jiang Ran performs when the variety show airs. If her performance is really bad, I think Xi Wan will also take the initiative to terminate the contract then.”

“I support the opinion above. If Jiang Ran performs well, it means that she knows her mistakes and can change. It also shows that Xi Wan has good vision. This is a good thing.”

Most of the comments about Xi Wan on the internet were praising her, which made Zhao Fei very unhappy.

“Why are they praising Xi Wan? I’m the female protagonist of this novel. Their eyes should be on me.” Zhao Fei clenched her teeth. “As for Jiang Ran, I promised her before that I would find her a decent job. However, she went to look for Xi Wan and even joined her side. Isn’t she clearly betraying me then?”

[You can’t say that. Jiang Ran doesn’t know the plot of this novel so she naturally doesn’t know of the final ending between you and Xi Wan. She only made the choice that was most beneficial to her.] The plug-in system said: [As for everyone praising Xi Wan, you don’t have to mind it. The more people praise her, the higher her reputation and the greater the expectations would be for the television series. It’s also a good thing for you if the television series is popular.]

Zhao Fei thought about it and felt that what the plug-in system said made sense. “That’s true. If that’s the case, I’ll be able to gain a lot of fans when the television series is broadcasted. At that time, I’ll be able to gain favorable impression points and points again.”

She comforted herself like this, completely unaware that her tussle with Huang Jian in the washroom today had already been filmed.

In a certain media company, a young reporter in a light blue coat said, “Chief editor, we have such good photos in our hands so why aren’t we publishing them? Although Zhao Fei is an unknown assistant in the past, she’s now the female protagonist of a television series that Xi Wan invested in!”

“You’re really stupid.” The chief editor pushed the photos away and pointed at the young man in the photos. “Do you know who this man is? This is Huang Jian, the eldest young master of the Huang Family! If you expose his scandal, you won’t even be able to keep your life. I’m afraid I’ll also be implicated by you then!”

“So, it turns out that he is the young master of the Huang Family!” The reporter was so scared that his legs were about to go weak. “Chief editor, let’s destroy these photos!”

“This matter is not that serious.” The chief editor shook his head and said, “Come with me now.”

He took the reporter with him to the Huang family’s house and spread the photos on the coffee table. He smiled at Mrs. Huang and said, “Mrs. Huang, please take a look at these. The person in these photos is your son. Our new reporter was insensible and accidentally took a few photos of him. That’s why I rushed over to bring it to you without hesitation.”

Mrs. Huang paused for a moment. Although she still pretended to be very calm, her fists on her lap which were clenched tightly betrayed her current feelings. However, she still narrowed her eyes, then smiled and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s no trouble at all. It’s what I should do.” The chief editor smiled.

Mrs. Huang picked up the photos and shook them. “Huang Jian is young and ignorant. He can’t tell right from wrong outside. I really have to thank you. Otherwise, I don’t know what kind of impact this will have on my son’s reputation.”

As she spoke, she took out a cheque and handed it over to the chief editor. “Take this as my errand fee to you.”

The chief editor did not reject it and accepted it directly.

The reporter who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded.

Was it over just like that? The chief editor did not mention the word ‘transaction’, but he did not only hand over the photos to the Huang family but also received a large sum of money from them! It was even more than the money he would have earned from exposing the news!

So, it was actually so easy to earn money from wealthy families!

Mrs. Huang pretended to point at the young woman in the photo unintentionally and asked, “You just said that this is a new actress. What’s her name?”

“Her name is Zhao Fei. She used to be a small assistant in the production team but I don’t know how she managed to get Xi Wan’s recognition this time and ended up becoming the female protagonist of this television series.”

Mrs. Huang was not interested in Zhao Fei’s experience. She only wanted to know who this woman was.

She could not bear to teach her son a lesson, but could she not teach this new actress a lesson?

The chief editor left with the reporter and Mrs. Huang’s gaze became even fiercer.

She was just a nobody who came from nowhere but she wanted to make use of a stroke of luck to become someone powerful?
