Chapter 704: Chapter 706: Revenge (3)
The thought of Yu Sixing flashed across Xiang Yirou’s mind, but she immediately discarded it.
Yu Sixing was infamously known for one thing all these years: he never got involved with anyone in the industry. Xiang Yirou, having been in the business for many years, has never seen or heard of him dealing with anyone in the entertainment circle — not even a hint of a rumor to that effect.
If Xue Feifei really was his girl, there were only two possibilities. One, her connection with Qin Zhiyou and Yu Sixing was from a friend’s recommendation, or another more important personal relationship. Two, he genuinely liked Xue Feifei and was treating her as his official girlfriend.
Both possibilities were equally terrifying to consider!
“Miss Xiang,” her assistant handed her the phone. “It’s for you.”
Xiang Yirou picked up the phone, and her manager’s voice came through: “Don’t get involved in this Huang Mi situation anymore.”
Xiang Yirou frowned, “What happened?”
“Just look at the trending topics. No sooner is one cleared, that another pops up—even more scandalous than before. If you go on like this, DI will be dissected. I’m warning you, stay no longer involved with Huang Mi, you can’t afford to offend them.”
Xiang Yirou quickly opened Weibo, and sure enough, her popular posts and hot Weibo tweets, there were four or five trending topics about her, all negative news.
This time, Xiang Yirou was genuinely scared.
Whether Xue Feifei was backed by Yu Sixing, Huang Mi, or anyone else, was secondary. She had just released that behind-the-scenes clip not six hours ago, and already, four or five topics about her were trending. Furthermore, the minute one scandal was suppressed, a new one appeared. Each one was more damning than the last. The enemy was clearly escalating. At this rate, perhaps in another day or two, she’d be facing a “leave the entertainment industry” outcry.
This showed that the person not only had money—enough to push scandalous information to the forefront—but also had power and resources. Moreover, they were not afraid of offending her company.
A major role, even an Oscar-winning one, could become meaningless in the face of one scandalous act. Many artists had been permanently blacklisted for crossing the line.
Power and influence always hold the most weight in this industry.
Intimidated, Xiang Yirou’s performance during the following shooting, particularly the scenes with Xue Feifei, lacked the vigor it had in the afternoon. Even when Huang Mi arrived later, her energy during their scenes together was nowhere to be found. The director continuously shook his head. Due to her lack of focus, she ruined multiple takes of a group scene.
Surprisingly, Xiang Yirou apologized outright, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I’m not in good shape today.”
This was the first time Xiang Yirou had apologized on set. There’d been numerous retakes due to various issues in the past, but she’d always just taken a break before resuming—never once had she apologized. Though her apology was meant for the director, everyone’s gaze naturally fell on Huang Mi, and even Xue Feifei.
There was a general feeling that the apology was meant for one of them.
However, Xue Feifei was unaware of all this. She was still focusing on her acting until…
