Chapter 49: Chapter 44: Kick Jiang Ning Out of the Show! (Double Update Combined)_2 Chapter 49: Chapter 44: Kick Jiang Ning Out of the Show! (Double Update Combined)_2 Then her whole life would be ruined!
Huo Miao frowned deeply, growing more anxious the more she thought about it.
She picked up her phone and immediately called her agent Liu Hong, “Sister Hong, I’m not participating in ‘Survive for 30 Days’ anymore. Help me cancel the contract immediately.”
Liu Hong had just learned about the situation on the online fan community from her assistant. She was planning to call Huo Miao to discuss the matter after dealing with the work at hand, but Huo Miao’s call came first.
Hearing Huo Miao’s words, Liu Hong was puzzled, “Cancel the contract?”
“Yes! The production team intentionally didn’t tell me about the other guests’ identities. Even during the promotional photo shoot, they deliberately kept us apart! The production team is setting me up, and they even invited Jiang Ning! I’m not going on this show!” Huo Miao said angrily.
Liu Hong was stunned. Although she expected Huo Miao to react to the official announcement about Jiang Ning, she didn’t anticipate such an extreme reaction.
What puzzled Liu Hong more was Huo Miao’s evasive attitude towards Jiang Ning. Setting aside the fact that Huo Miao was a current popular idol in the entertainment industry and the young lady of the Huo Family, who was Jiang Ning? Just a poor relative who once depended on others for survival.
Liu Hong said, “Miaomiao, are you sure you want to exit the show? If you drop out now, the penalty is five times your salary. And think carefully, getting on this show wasn’t easy. It draws huge viewership, and the celebrity guest for the second season is the renowned director Wang Ye. I managed to find out this inside information with great difficulty. If you can show your face in front of Director Wang Ye, or even get in his good graces, it’ll benefit your venture into acting.”
Huo Miao bit her lip, suddenly remembering that her goal in joining this variety show was not only to gain more exposure, but primarily for Director Wang Ye.
It had been two years since Director Wang Ye had filmed a new drama because he hadn’t found the right actress for the lead role.
Wang Ye was a famous director in the country, and each drama he filmed not only won awards but also made the actors famous.
In other words, the name “Wang Ye” symbolized both box office success and critical acclaim.
Prior to this, Huo Miao had only acted in a few youthful school dramas and costume dramas. She hadn’t yet ventured into the movie industry. To the film circle, Huo Miao was still a complete newcomer. Getting into Director Wang Ye’s crew would be an auspicious start for her.
Seeing that Huo Miao didn’t speak for a long while, Liu Hong knew she was weighing the pros and cons and coaxed her, “Miaomiao, Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan signed the contract for your sake. If you breach your contract, they will surely breach theirs too. Not only is it easy to offend the production team, but it could also tarnish your reputation in the industry.”
“Besides, what does it matter if Jiang Ning is attending the show? The audience has discerning eyes. Look, the show hasn’t even started and people are already boycotting her.”
“Didn’t you say that Jiang Ning seemed like a different person after she got out of the hospital? Acting crazy and hitting people. Let her do that on the show, and you just react accordingly. As long as she dares to strike you, she will never have a chance to turn things around.”
“With Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan there, they’ll help you. Jiang Ning is destined to be just a stepping stone for you.”
Liu Hong’s words gradually brought Huo Miao back from her initial anxiety.
She held the phone, her expression changing unpredictably.
So what if she was a fake heiress? The Huo Family only recognized her as their one and only true heiress. Huo Ziheng and the others only acknowledged her as their sister, and even Mu Mingxuan had chosen to stand by her and marry only her, even after learning about her identity.
But what about Jiang Ning?
An orphan with no one to speak up for her.
Huo Miao’s look became resolute, “Sister Hong, thank you. I’ll participate in the show as usual.”
“That’s the right attitude!” Liu Hong let out a sigh of relief and couldn’t help comforting her further, “Jiang Ning doesn’t have an agency or a team to handle her PR. Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on the show and the internet every day. If anything unfavorable to you appears online, the company and I will suppress the public opinion immediately.”
Huo Miao nodded, “Okay, I’ll hang up now. I need to make a call to my second brother and Mu Mingxuan. They’re in the show because of me and weren’t aware Jiang Ning was also participating.”
Liu Hong: “Alright. Talk to them properly.”
After ending the call, Huo Miao first phoned Huo Ziheng, then called Mu Mingxuan.
Since Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan were outsiders to the industry, they weren’t yet aware of the situation. However, when Huo Miao told them about Jiang Ning’s participation in “Survive for 30 Days,” both had very strong reactions.
Huo Ziheng sneered, “Heh! She left the Huo Family with such arrogance that day; now she’s probably regretting it after a few days of wandering outside. Miaomiao, ignore her! Once the show starts, just treat her like a stranger! If she comes to us for an apology, don’t pay her any attention. Don’t go soft on her!”
Seeing that Huo Ziheng’s tone was filled with loathing for Jiang Ning, Huo Miao was inwardly pleased, yet she nodded with some fake difficulty on her face.
As Huo Miao’s fiancé, Mu Mingxuan might have met Jiang Ning only a few times, but that didn’t prevent him from disliking her.
Because Jiang Ning was always bullying Huo Miao! And she even delusionally tried to break up their relationship!
Upon hearing that Jiang Ning was also a guest on the show, Mu Mingxuan immediately said angrily, “Is she haunting us or what? You’ve finally had a few days of peace, and she clings on to you like a persistent burr, clearly with the intention of annoying you! Miaomiao, wait for me. I’ll contact the production team right now to see if they’re still looking for investors. I’ll invest twenty million to have Jiang Ning kicked out of the show!”
