Chapter 413: Lay the Foundation First Before Taking It Step by Step
The production team eventually found out this matter too. This was because Jiang Yuning felt it would not be a problem to discuss this matter with Teacher Xiaoxiao since it would eventually be exposed to the public.
“Now that we have such an important piece of evidence in our hands, we need not be so reserved and polite when we deal with Lin Kaiyan tomorrow. Teacher Xiaoxiao, there will be three steps to take in handling this matter tomorrow. Firstly, we will upload the video recording showing Lin Kaiyan making things difficult for me when we were filming the variety program. This is simply to prove the fact that Lin Kaiyan had been the one to stir up trouble in the first place. Secondly, the production team will directly announce their decision to replace Lin Kaiyan with another male actor. The team will then issue a statement stating that the reason for the replacement is due to Lin Kaiyan’s bad att.i.tude and lack of professionalism. The last step would be to expose what Lin Kaiyan had done in the past along with the supporting evidence we have.”
“Why can’t we just use everything that we have at one go?” Lin Cangxiao asked as he listened to Jiang Yuning’s proposal.
“If we push the blame to Lin Kaiyan directly, he will start spreading rumors that I threatened him when we were filming the variety program earlier. I believe that Lin Kaiyan will also claim that I had pitted the production team against him and there will be no way for us to prove our innocence with regards to these accusations. The evidence that we have on hand is only useful to show that there is a problem with Lin Kaiyan’s character but it will not help to prove our innocence. Therefore, the best thing to do is to prove our character before we pin the blame on Lin Kaiyan. Do you understand where I am coming from, Teacher Xiaoxiao? We have to lay the foundation before taking it step by step.”
Lin Cangxiao immediately understood Jiang Yuning’s intention as soon as he heard her explanation.
“You have really planned everything ahead of you.”
“Well, you will get used to it when you experience such situations all the time,” Jiang Yuning replied as she laughed.
“Alright then, we will follow your proposal then. Our public relations team will work closely with your team in order to try and get everything sorted out as soon as possible. However, we will need to trouble the production team and the public relations team to work overnight to get this done,” Lin Cangxiao replied as he heaved a huge sigh of relief. Although he had already been in the entertainment industry for so many years, this was the first time he would be personally involved in this kind of situation.
Moreover, the brains behind the operation was a young girl who was only twenty-four years old.
This was really an eye-opening experience for him.
“Teacher Xiaoxiao, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first.”
After all, she had already kept Lu Jingzhi waiting long enough.
“Alright then. I will get someone to escort the both of you downstairs.”
“There is no need to do that. You are too kind,” Jiang Yuning replied as she stopped the other party.
Jiang Yuning and Vera left the television broadcast station in a hurry. It was still drizzling at this time and Vera drove Jiang Yuning over to Lu Jingzhi’s car before the both of them bid farewell to one another. After that, Vera left the couple alone.
As soon as Jiang Yuning got into the car, she saw Lu Jingzhi with a black blanket wrapped around his body. Jiang Yuning immediately noticed that the blanket was brand new as the price tag was still attached to it.
Even Vera knew about Lu Jingzhi’s pet peeve with regards to cleanliness.
“Has everything been settled?”
“Yes.” Jiang Yuning nodded. “Let’s go home now, Second Brother.”
At this time, Lu Jingzhi handed the blanket over to Jiang Yuning before he started driving back towards the villa. It was already two o’clock in the morning.
Lu Jingzhi slowed down the car and started driving a little slower halfway through the journey because of the heavy rain. “Grandpa called me today to ask about our progress.”
Jiang Yuning was very happy when she heard Lu Jingzhi’s words. “So, how did you respond to grandpa’s question?”
“Well, I told him that we are keeping in touch but…you are not very obedient.”
Jiang Yuning started protesting as soon as she heard Lu Jingzhi’s words. “How am I not obedient? Nevermind, this is not important. So, how did Grandpa respond to your statement then? Did he give you a scolding?”
Lu Jingzhi stole a glance at Jiang Yuning before he continued driving without answering her question.
When they finally arrived at the gate of the villa, Lu Jingzhi leaned forward as he placed his hand behind Jiang Yuning’s neck as he pulled her in for a kiss. “He said that I am too boring.”
Jiang Yuning smiled as she gazed into Lu Jingzhi’s eyes at this time. “If Grandpa finds out what kind of earth-shattering thing his precious grandson did about one year ago, he certainly would not say that you are a boring person. He would definitely be shocked.”
“Grandpa also agreed that you are not a very obedient girl. He told me to…teach you a lesson.”
Jiang Yuning immediately placed her arms in front of her chest in a defensive manner as soon as she heard Lu Jingzhi’s reply. “I am certain that the lesson that Grandpa is asking you to teach me is not the one that you have in mind right now!”
“How would you know what kind of lesson I have in mind for you? Huh?”
The street lights were dim and there was not much lighting in the car. At this time, Lu Jingzhi stared at Jiang Yuning before he attacked her without any hesitation at all.
