Chapter 63: Chapter 063: Has the gentleman boarded the plane? Chapter 63: Chapter 063: Has the gentleman boarded the plane? A strange yet somewhat familiar number called, causing Qi Si’s handsome brows to furrow slightly.
Although he didn’t save Shen Yan’s number, he had an extraordinary memory.
He instantly remembered that it was Shen Yan’s number.
After three rings, he still answered.
On the other end was Shen Yan’s voice, sounding unfamiliar.
“Mr. Qi, there’s no need for you to come back personally; Uncle Liu and I can handle this minor issue. We won’t bother you.”
Qi Si subconsciously tried to discern if there were any traces of crying in Shen Yan’s tone.
Apparently.
Liu Su had exaggerated again.
“Mr. Qi?”
Shen Yan didn’t hear a response and thought Liu Su had given the wrong number, about to hang up.
Just then, a cold, low, magnetic male voice came from the other side, “No other issues.”
Shen Yan blinked, “I just wanted to tell you about this matter; there’s nothing else. Mr. Qi, please cancel your ticket. I won’t disturb you further.”
Qi Si’s handsome eyebrows furrowed again.
Cancel what ticket?
Some new internet slang?
“Uncle Liu’s words should only be taken half seriously.”
Uncharacteristically, the icy man added another sentence.
“Ah? Oh…” Shen Yan paused, then asked again to confirm, “Mr. Qi, is there anything else?”
The urgency in her tone to hang up made Qi Si’s brows furrow again as he spoke softly, “No.”
“Hanging up,” Shen Yan ended the call directly.
Qi Si put down his phone, thinking about what Shen Yan had said.
He confirmed that Liu Su was causing trouble.
That ticket cancellation…
His slender fingertips moved, touched the phone, and then put it back down.
He suspected that “canceling the ticket” and “tearing the ticket” might mean the same thing.
In the end, he didn’t bother to check such a trivial and ridiculous thing on his phone.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yan was slightly puzzled, their conversation was fine, right?
It should have been.
He wouldn’t come back to meddle in such a trivial matter.
Soon after, Shen Yan’s lips twitched.
Was she fooled by Uncle Liu?
Regarding Qi Si, that emotionless automaton, would he care about such a trivial matter of hers?
Given how the original owner treated him, he would probably wish to kick her when she’s down.
Shen Yan pressed her brow, thought about her foolish behavior, and couldn’t help but laugh.
As soon as Liu Su called Xinyu, the whole team sprang into action, for Shen Yan had provoked Emperor Tao, who had significant connections in the entertainment industry. Why did Shen Yan have to provoke such a significant figure?
President Kang was going bald from all the stress.
With such a big commotion in the company, even Dai Qiu, who hadn’t been to the office, heard about it.
These past few days, Shi Lian wasn’t doing well, so Dai Qiu stayed with her at the filming site. After receiving the call from the company, he immediately turned to Shi Lian and relayed the news.
Shi Lian looked surprised, “Are you sure there’s no mistake?”
“No,” Dai Qiu said emotionlessly, “The person Shen Yan provoked is indeed Tao Rongye.”
Shi Lian looked puzzled, “The company dares to tackle such a tough nut for her; have they gone mad?”
To promote Shen Yan, they even dared to confront a figure like Emperor Tao.
Dai Qiu was very disdainful of Shen Yan, “The company had just managed to suppress all the negatives about Shen Yan, and now she’s brought such a huge problem to the company; her backing must be really solid.”
The last sentence, no matter how one heard it, carried a tone of mockery.
Shi Lian’s expression was complex, “Even so, the company is willing to give their all against Tao Rongye’s suppression. What did Shen Yan do to provoke Emperor Tao? To make him tear into her like that.”
Dai Qiu shook his head, then sneered coldly, “It’s probably the same tricks Liu Qiang used, just overplayed.”
Shi Lian was immediately speechless, unable to understand what Shen Yan was thinking. Did she really believe she could rely on her youthful appearance to last in the entertainment industry forever?
Today, the company could vigorously promote her, tomorrow they could push her into the abyss.
She was still too young after all.

Tao Rongye’s talent agency dug up and down, only managing to unearth some dark secrets about Shen Yan and Mu Jincheng, along with the fabricated family background Shen Yan concocted herself.
After all the effort, only one conclusion was arrived at.
Shen Yan’s darkness, all came from Mu Jincheng!
As for her acting skills and her suspected rural background, they weren’t scandalous material.
There were several from rural backgrounds in the entertainment industry, and even more who weren’t formally trained.
With acting skills like Shen Yan’s, there were plenty in today’s entertainment industry; they couldn’t be criticized.
Now only two options remained, using Mu Jincheng to further defame Shen Yan, the other was to frame her!
No… there was one more.
That was the baseless rumors about Shen Yan with the higher-ups at Xinyu.
Anyone who saw Shen Yan’s looks and figure couldn’t help but think in that direction.
Tao Rongye, somewhat agitated, dialed his agent, instructing him to start from within Xinyu.
His agent couldn’t help but ask him, “Did you do something to Shen Yan?”
Tao Rongye denied, “Other than hearing my calls, nothing else. Do you suspect I did something else?”
“How can you be so sure that Xinyu will take action over this issue? We’ve been watching the internet closely, and it has nothing to do with your attacks. Xinyu hasn’t made a move, are you maybe too anxious?” The agent stared at a tablet displaying an old scandal involving Song Xuan and a popular celebrity, his frown deepening.
Liu Qiang’s scandalous news was still trending.
Their purchased trolls attacking Shen Yan also stirred up some sprays, and he believed it wouldn’t be long before Shen Yan would be attacked by trolls trending online.
It was all the reaction from their actions, without anything disadvantageous to Tao Rongye.
On the contrary, due to the fermentation of Liu Qiang’s incident, netizens were sympathizing with Tao Rongye.
Tao Rongye didn’t believe Xinyu was inactive; they were probably just waiting for the right moment.
Liu Su’s words clearly meant for him to watch his own actions.
“Anyway, keep an eye on Xinyu, they will act soon.” Tao Rongye felt it was better to be cautious. He had climbed to his position today with difficulty and couldn’t allow a young actress to ruin his career path.
The agent merely responded affirmatively.

After resting for two hours, by 5 PM, all the guests continued the livestream.
Shen Yan came out clad in a circle of white bandages, Liu Su’s eyes flickered, he quickly walked up to Shen Yan and whispered, “Miss Shen, what did Mr. Qi say?”
Shen Yan gave him a strange look and responded, “Mr. Qi said he already bought the plane tickets, so don’t waste them. By this time, he should be boarding.”
“Ah?” Liu Su was dumbfounded.
Shen Yan looked serene, not like she was lying.
Shen Yan walked toward the guests, her face breaking into a perfectly timed smile before entering the livestream camera together.
Liu Su hurriedly took out his phone to call Qi Si, but it rang for a long time without anyone answering.
It wasn’t switched off, so he must not have boarded.
There’s still time!
Try another call.
After a long wait, the call was finally picked up.
But the tone that came through, wrapped with icy sharpness, said, “Speak.”
A single word let Liu Su hear an underlying message: If you don’t have anything good to say, wait to twist your own head off in apology!
Liu Su shivered and asked dryly, “Sir, did you board?”
…The other end had already hung up.
Liu Su: ???
He boldly reflected for a moment; the sir had clearly had a tone of having just woken up.
So, had he been played by Miss Shen?
Liu Su somewhat laughingly and cryingly looked at Shen Yan on the other side, who was smiling and greeting everyone. Was it easy for him? If it weren’t for this couple, would he have made such a foolish, embarrassing mistake?
