Chapter 256: You Realize That You Overreacted?
[Do you even know what kind of welfare services she has provided her fans with? Why are you insulting her when you know nothing at all?]
[I may dislike the benefits that other artistes give their fans but I have to admit that Jiang Yuning’s fan benefit has really contributed positively to the society.]
[I was afraid that my child would be deceived, so I did all the registration and administrative work for her. I was pleasantly surprised after I consulted with one of the online education experts because he was really one of the front-line experts in China!]
[Jiang Yuning has really outdone herself this time.]
[I hope that this netizen will not slander and insult anyone randomly. As a father, I really want to thank Jiang Yuning for thinking and doing all these things to better my child’s life.]
After checking out the fan benefit that Jiang Yuning had prepared for her fans, the random netizen immediately apologized in an awkward manner.
[I am sorry for las.h.i.+ng out without checking out the benefit first. Please forgive my ignorance.]
[My daughter and I are both loyal fans of Jiang Yuning now! She is really very amazing.]
From the beginning to the end, the Ginger Candies did not partic.i.p.ate in any online discussion at all.
They were just reading the comments silently and they felt extremely proud of their beloved idol.
Because of Jiang Yuning’s actions, the netizens were finally starting to believe that there were people in this world who were kind and sincere, and did not only want to attract attention and wealth for themselves. Instead, there were people like Jiang Yuning who sincerely wanted to do something practical for those who liked and supported her.
After finding out about this matter, Shen Yichen summoned Vera immediately and questioned her on why they had not publicized this matter to maximize the interest and attention that Jiang Yuning would gain. After all, she was doing a good deed for the public.
However, at this time, Vera made a hush gesture at Shen Yichen before she replied. “First of all, the education platform has just been launched and they do not know if it will turn out to be a huge success or otherwise. There are still many features of the platform that needed to be modified and maintained. Secondly, you should know very well what kind of fox Yuning really is. She believes that there is no need to show off and try to attract so much attention to herself right now because if this platform is really successful, it would still attract the necessary attention in the end. Lastly, she just wants her fans to gain the most benefit and she wants them to understand her sincerity towards them.”
“That makes sense too. By the way, did you know about how miserable An Yiqing has been lately because of Hua Xin’s bullying?” Shen Yichen asked as he raised his eyebrows at Vera. “Although the first resources that An Yiqing obtained have not been officially announced yet, her resources have been directly cut off. The company does not have any evidence relating to this matter but according to my contacts, Hua Xin was behind this matter.”
“But you know that this is not Yuning’s fault.”
“Yuning is very popular nowadays, so I was wondering if it would be okay with both of you if we use Yuning’s popularity to help pull some resources for An Yiqing? I think that it would be comforting for her. What do you think?”
“You are the director. You have the final say.”
Vera had no objection whatsoever to his matter but of course, the final decision would still have to be made by Jiang Yuning.
This was because if An Yiqing was really victimized and bullied by Hua Xin because of the incident that happened at the banquet the other night, then based to Yuning’s personality, she would not refuse help to someone who needed it. However, Vera felt that something would go wrong eventually if this matter was dragged any longer.
Therefore, based on her intuition, she quickly added, “But just this once.”
“I will make the necessary arrangements.”
After arriving at Jiang Yuning’s villa, Vera conveyed this matter to Jiang Yuning, but she did not display any significant reaction even after listening to Vera’s words. “Yes, you can help her, but let me tell you the truth, Vera. I do not really trust that An Yiqing. After all, you have also heard what her agent said during the banquet that night. So, before you help her, I hope that you can help me figure out if Hua Xin is really bullying her and venting her anger and frustration out on her. I also want you to make sure that she does not have any other hidden agendas or motives.”
“Alright, I got it.” Vera did not understand why Jiang Yuning was so cautious towards An Yiqing’s intentions.
…
Ever since they ran into Xiao Chennan at the shooting range the other day, Vera had been reporting to work at Jiang Yuning’s villa on time every single day. This was because she was afraid that Xiao Chennan would try to contact Jiang Yuning in private and subsequently cause a marriage crisis between Jiang Yuning and the second young master Lu.
Alas, Xiao Chennan did not b.u.mp into them again ever since that fateful evening.
Vera was relieved.
“You realize that you overreacted?”
“I did that because I wanted to protect the relations.h.i.+p between you and the second young master Lu!” Vera replied as she glared at Jiang Yuning.
“Do you really think that you need to protect our relations.h.i.+p?”
So naïve!
Jiang Yuning sneered. “Who knows if Brother Nan’s target was you all along?”
“My a.s.s!” Vera replied disdainfully. “I am not interested in hooking up with anyone from the entertainment industry, especially the film emperor. There is probably a truckload of women whom he has slept or hook up with in the past. I do not want to be abused in that manner so it is absolutely impossible!”
At this time, Xiao Chennan, who had just arrived at the shooting range and was about to step in, quickly turned around and left the shooting range immediately…
Xiao Chennan’s a.s.sistant chased after him immediately before he asked, “Brother Nan, slow down. What is wrong?”
Xiao Chennan then posted another message to his social media account. “Abused and misunderstood again!”
He was really very miserable. Every time he tried to get closer to Vera, he would be shot down immediately.
Xiao Chennan’s a.s.sistant had an inexplicable expression on his face as he approached Xiao Chennan and asked, “Brother Nan, are you interested in…someone? Are you trying to get closer to her?”
“What good idea do you have?” Xiao Chennan asked as he turned around and looked at his a.s.sistant.
“Sister Vera is not that easy to handle. Brother Nan, I am pretty curious right now. There are so many women with pretty faces and perfect body figures in the entertainment industry. Why are you interested in an agent, out of everyone else? Do you have myopia? Would you like me to get you a doctor?”
“If you say another word, I will put you on the target so that you can feel exactly what I am feeling right now.” After that, Xiao Chennan opened the car door and got inside the car immediately.
…
Vera was completely unaware that she was in fact Xiao Chennan’s target. After escorting Jiang Yuning back to the villa, she received a video that had been forwarded to her from X Society.
Vera quickly played the video after turning the volume on her cell phone to the highest level.
“What is this?” Jiang Yuning asked as she walked over to Vera.
“A video of Ling Fei getting abused when she went to attend an audition,” Vera replied. She was watching the video, full of curiosity and interest, and she regretted that she did not have any chicken and beer in her hand at the moment.
Jiang Yuning did not really enjoy watching people in a predicament, so she merely stole a few glances at the video to see the true extent of Ling Fei’s acting skills. Without Bai Tingzhang’s protection, Ling Fei was really nothing in front of everyone else.
She was getting reprimanded and criticized even though she was only auditioning for the role of the second female lead for a drama.
It was not as though the director did not give her any chances to prove herself. However, even though the director kept giving her chances, her acting skills were just terrible. She was basically emotionless and expressionless in every scene.
The director was initially very patient and he even gave her three opportunities to re-enact the scene before he finally exploded after he could no longer contain his anger. “Ling Fei, just go home already! Who gave you the courage to even come and audition for the role of the second female lead? You are not worthy and you do not have the skills to become the second female lead! You are just not cut out to be an actress! Stop wasting everyone’s time.”
“Director, please give me another chance. I can do this.”
“Didn’t I give you a chance already? I gave you three chances! There are a bunch of people waiting outside to audition for this role. Stop forcing yourself to do something that you are not capable of doing. I feel really uncomfortable watching your acting skills.”
In just a few days, Ling Fei’s world had already turned upside down.
That is the reason why everyone should just be humble and gracious to everyone they meet in future.
Karma is real and in the entertainment industry, you never know when it would hit you.
“Actually, if you really think about it, Ling Fei is quite pitiful. You cannot really blame her for how she has turned out. Her agent and Bai Tingzhang had been supporting her and expecting everyone to put her high up on the pedestal all this while. n.o.body told her the truth and n.o.body taught her how she should behave. That is why she has turned out to be so proud and arrogant over time.”
Vera stopped the video before she clicked the delete b.u.t.ton.
“So, that is why the people who are around you to guide you through your journey is very important. We should think of a way to help An Yiqing. Let’s make a trip to the company’s office tomorrow.”
