Chapter 604: A Single Person Should Not Ask for Trouble
For the next few days after Vera dealt with the public relations matter involving the Almighty Girls, the atmosphere between the members of the girl group were very awkward and strange. The other two girls would not take the initiative to talk to Jenny at all even if she was sitting right there with them.
Jenny could tell that the other two girls were ostracizing her and making her an outcast. However, the last public relations incident allowed her to test Vera’s bottom line and she knew that Vera was willing to even offend Jiang Yuning simply because she did not want the girl group under her management to be disbanded. Therefore, Jenny became even more confident.
When they were rehearsing in the dance studio in the afternoon, the other two girls did not even say a single word to Jenny. This made Jenny extremely upset and she started to stir up trouble with the other two girls. “Hey! I am the captain of our girl group. How can the both of you simply ignore me? Don’t you think that this is a little too much?”
However, at this time, the only sound in the entire dance studio was Jenny’s voice. The other two girls simply picked up their towels as they planned to simply walk out of the dance studio but Jenny stopped them before they could do so.
“I know that the both of you must be feeling a little upset at this time.”
The other two girls stopped in their tracks as they stared at Jenny impatiently, “Do you have nothing better to do?”
“Are the both of you jealous because Vera seems to like me more? If you are so jealous, then the both of you should just quit the girl group. However, I have to remind you that I will always be Vera’s favorite and it would not be a big deal for her to simply look for another two girls to replace your spot in the girl group.”
Both the girls looked at Jenny in disbelief and they simply shook their heads because they were utterly speechless. They really did not expect that Jenny could be so shameless.
“Well, then you can just ask speak to Vera and tell her that the both of you would like to quit the girl group.”
After that, one of the girls stepped forward to push Jenny away. However, as the girl was simply too angry and frustrated, she did not control her strength and Jenny was almost pushed to the ground.
Jenny glared at the both of them and when she saw that they were about to walk out of the dance studio, she deliberately stretched her leg out and tripped the both of them at the same time.
After the incident, she crossed her arms before she said triumphantly, “I…am not someone that can be easily bullied!”
The other two girls sat on the ground and their faces were flushed red with anger as they could only stare helplessly at Jenny.
The two girls simply helped each other to stand up and they started cursing after Jenny left the dance studio. “That b.i.t.c.h!”
“I really do not understand why Vera like that scheming b.i.t.c.h so much. Is it because she is better at acting and putting on a show compared to us?
The two girls were very puzzled and they could not understand Vera’s att.i.tude at all. After all, Vera has already stayed by Jiang Yuning’s side for so long. So, why was her judgment still so weak?
Vera had just broken up with Xiao Chennan a few days ago and her mind was not set on the Almighty Girls as she was also busy with her own schedule and arrangements. Therefore, Vera did not know that the relations.h.i.+p between the three girls were also so ugly, to the point that it was almost irreconcilable.
She did not even know that the other two girls had already bypa.s.sed her and went to look for Shen Yichen directly.
At this time, Shen Yichen’s office door was closed. This was because even though the two girls were bullied, they did not want anyone else to find out about their internal conflict.
“Director Shen, we know that we should not bypa.s.s Vera and come to you directly. However, we really cannot take this bullying anymore.”
The two girls were not stupid. They knew that they need to present evidence to prove that everything that they said was true. Therefore, the two girls had already recorded a video of Jenny deliberately stirring up trouble with them, followed up by a recording of Jenny bullying them in the dance studio.
Jenny was very arrogant and domineering in the video.
“The both of us can only tolerate it in silence because Vera is protecting Jenny. We really hope that you can give some justice to us, Director Shen.”
The two girls have been working hard and they were full of grievances because they were not as brazen as Jenny. However, even though they were being very obedient and even though they were complying with the rules, they were still very worried that their future would still be affected. After all, if there was someone with Jenny’s personality in the girl group, then it was only a matter of time before the girl group suffered from another accident again.
Shen Yichen looked at the video before he turned around to face the two girls again. “Why didn’t the both of you talk to Vera about this matter instead?”
“Vera is even willing to offend Jiang Yuning, simply because she was trying to defend Jenny. How can we possibly tell her anything?”
After listening to their words, Shen Yichen understood the meaning behind their words and he simply nodded before he said, “Alright then. The both of you can go back first. I will deal with this matter as soon as possible.”
“Director Shen, please…we really hope that you can give us some hope…”
Shen Yichen did not say anything but he simply looked at them with a serious expression on his face.
He understood how painful and stressful it was for them to place their future on someone like Jenny.
Of course, Shen Yichen did not tell Vera about this matter immediately. Instead, he simply arranged for someone to install a camera in the dance studio where the few of them would always be rehearsing at.
Since it was a public area, it was not an infringement of their privacy at all.
He had already given Jenny a warning before this. He already warned her that he would kick her out of Guangying Media if she caused any trouble again. However, Shen Yichen knew that if he simply showed Vera the video recording, Vera would simply a.s.sume that the other two girls were trying to frame Jenny and set her up. Therefore, he decided to catch Jenny in the act instead!
The media and reporters who were suspicious of Vera’s clarification and the way that she dealt with Jenny’s public relations issues during the press conference, eventually found a lot of marginal materials and clues after looking into the matter.
After all, Jenny was having dinner with her friend at a very public restaurant.
Moreover, Jenny was the type of person who liked to be high-profile and there were no shortage of witnesses who were there in the same restaurant as Jenny that night.
When the time came, it would be very exciting to see how the gold medal agent would react when her deception was exposed.
…
It was already nearing the end of September and Jiang Yuning was preparing for her next itinerary.
Her itinerary has already been published but there were no public activities at all. However, some of the Ginger Candies heard some rumors in the past and they believed that Jiang Yuning was taking a break from the crew because she was going to take wedding photos with Lu Jingzhi.
Even though the Ginger Candies were very upset about the incident involving Vera and Jenny, they temporarily let go of their anger and frustration because of this happy event. They could not wait to bless and cheer for their precious idol with all of their hearts.
Even though Jiang Yuning no longer had an agent to represent her, she still had to report to Shen Yichen whenever she had any big trips on her schedule. This was simply for Shen Yichen’s convenience if he had to publish or prepare any public relations doc.u.ments when something suddenly cropped up.
“I have already called the director and applied for two days’ leave for you. The director was very willing to give you the two days off because you have already completed your filming task ahead of schedule. Therefore, he did not need you to be on set urgently. The director even asked me if it would be enough if you simply took two days of leave!” Shen Yichen told Jiang Yuning over the phone. After that, he continued asking, “Do you want to take advantage of this opportunity to take another day off?”
“Well, second brother arranged for our wedding photoshoot to be held in Luo City so I really do not need to take three days of leave…” Jiang Yuning replied after thinking about it.
“Don’t you want to spend some time alone with the second young master Lu?”
“He is much busier than me after his recent job transfer. Even if I take another day off, I will be spending it alone at home. So, will that really be necessary?” Jiang Yuning asked.
Shen Yichen could not help but smiled as soon as he heard Jiang Yuning’s words. “Well, I can’t help but wonder who the clingy person was in the past…”
“Hey! A single person should not ask for trouble!”
The both of them continued chatting and laughing. At this time, Shen Yichen also told Jiang Yuning about the current situation of the Almighty Girls.
Jiang Yuning did not react much after listening to him.
“Why are you telling me this?”
“Have you forgotten that you will be taking over my position next year? Even though I can’t wait for you to deal with Vera…I think that the two girls in the girl group are actually very good girls…”
This was…
“Besides that, Jenny will definitely retaliate if I try to deal with her directly. I cannot even imagine the damage that she will bring to our reputation then. Since this matter is related to you, you should be the one dealing with it personally.”
