The door to the private room of the coffee shop was closed by Mu Chenxiâs assistant.
Mu Chenxi was standing inside the private room right now. Initially, there was no need to make the call at all. After all, whoever gained supremacy over a confrontation would win.
However, it was apparent that Mu Chenxi did not have the upper hand over the situation right now.
She was shaking violently from her anger. She took her phone out, and the agent standing beside her did not step forward to stop her. It seemed like he wanted to knock Fu Zhi down to size as well. Besides, he also wanted to show Guang Yuan who was more suitable to be his security blanket.
Very soon, the phone was picked up.
âUncle Changyuan.â Mu Chenxiâs attitude changed instantly. A smile appeared across her face and her voice was sweet and alluring.
Wang Changyuan was dumbfounded for a few moments when he heard the voice. It took him quite a long while before he realized the person at the other side of the line was someone from the Mu Corporation, the entertainment company where his nephew was.
He then replied flatly, âYouâre Ms. Mu, right? Is there anything I can help you with?â
âYes, Uncle Changyuan. The Mu Corporation is making a melodrama, so I figure that I should let you know about it.â
âA melodrama?â Wang Changyuan repeated as he took a sip of tea from his cup, âThatâs the one my nephew is going to star in, right? Well, I have faith in my nephew. As long as there arenât any plots that promote abortion and puppy love, I donât think there will be any problem getting approval.â
âThank you so much, Uncle Changyuan. My dad said two days ago that he would take me to visit you when he had time.â
âI appreciate that, but you donât have to be so polite.â
âThatâs the least we should do,â Mu Chenxi said as she looked triumphantly at Fu Zhi, âOh yeah, Uncle Changyuan, thereâs one more thing. I remember that the government reprimanded an actor named Ye Shiyun before, saying that he had acted in too many bad movies and asked him to settle down and stop making movies. I remember that the CCTV criticized Ye Shiyun as an actor, saying that he had acted in too many bad movies and asked him to calm down and stop making movies. I have news that he will soon be starring in a new movie, and he has some conflicts with the Mu Corporation, so I figure that can you do something about it like putting down the movie in response to the countryâs call?â
âPffftââ Wang Changyuan spewed out a mouthful of tea and he was petrified for two seconds straight. As if he could not believe what he had just heard, he asked again, âWhat? What did you just say?â
âPutting down the movie in response to the countryâs call? Whatâs the matter, Uncle Changyuan?â
âWhatâs the matter? This is a big matter, alright?â
Although Wang Changyuan had been working at the other provincial this whole time, he was well aware of the things happening in the National Radio and Television Administration. After the CCTV reprimanded Ye Shiyun, he immediately ordered his employee to take down every web series that Ye Shiyun starred in with different excuses. However, roughly an hour after those dramas were taken down, someone from the top called him and gave him a good dressing down.
Then, it dawned upon Wang Changyuan that the government criticized Ye Shiyun because they wanted him to improve. It was a type of fatherly love, while the action of the National Radio and Television Administration taking down Ye Shiyunâs web series was considered as humiliation. Imagine this, someone was insulting your son and calling him ugly, so it went without saying that you would be infuriated, right? Well, that was the case for Ye Shiyun. No matter how much the government criticized him, they would not allow anyone to bully him.
Wang Changyuan was both smooth and slick, thatâs why he could become the director of the National Radio and Television Administration. It was apparent to him that there was someone supporting Ye Shiyun from the back.
As such, he rejected, âNo. I canât do it. This is not what the government means at all.â
Since Mu Chenxi put the call on loudspeaker, everyone heard their conversation and Xiao Bai and Guang Yuan were dumbfounded.
âIf thatâs not what the government means, then what does it mean?â
Wang Changyuan then continued, âI guess the reason CCTV mentioned Ye Shiyun on Weibo is to get his attention, itâs just that Ye Shiyun paid them no mind.â
Xiao Bai mumbled, âIs that so?â
âIs Ye Shiyun so well-liked?â
âHence, I canât help you,â Wang Changyuan concluded as he took another sip from his tea. After listening to what Wang Changyuan had said, Mu Chenxi felt embarrassed and she bristled. âOkay, then. If you canât do anything to Ye Shiyun, how about Pure Feather? She offended the Mu Family as well. Sheâs a bully who enjoys bullying people, so canât you put down Red Sun because of her abusive behavior?â
Wang Changyuan spewed his tea once again.
âMs. Mu, it seems to me that today is not your day. The top has just given an order that we have to give the green light to Master Pure Featherâs movie. Now you want me to put her movie down, do you want me to lose my job?â
âBut you promised that you will help meâ¦â Mu Chenxiâs eyes turned red from her exasperation as she stared at Fu Zhi, who was sipping on a cup of milk on her chair. âIâve put the call on the loudspeaker and Fu Zhi is here as well. How can youâ¦â
Before she could say âhow can you make me lose my face in front of herâ, Wang Changyuanâs angry voice belted out from the phone, âWhen did I ever promise that I will help you? Besides, how can you call Master Pure Feather by her real name?â
âWhat?â
Wang Changyuan did not reply to Mu Chenxi anymore. He raised his voice a little and said reverently, âIâm sorry for not greeting you earlier, Master Pure Feather. I didnât know that youâre there as well. In any case, we got the order from the top last month. As long as itâs your movie, we will do everything in our power to support you!â
Everyone in the private room was stunned at the change in Wang Changyuanâs attitude. They all stood frozen stiff on their spots as their brains could not comprehend the sudden change of event.
After a short while, Xiao Bai was the first one to regain his senses. He looked at Fu Zhi in disbelief and asked, âAre⦠Are you Wang Changyuanâs sister-in-law?â
Before Fu Zhi could say anything, Wang Changyuanâs voice erupted again, âWho the hell is spewing nonsense there? How dare you put Master Pure Feather and me on equal ground, do you want me to get punished by heaven? Itâs my fault for slighting you this time, Master Pure Feather. If you donât mind, I will visit you one day and apologize to you personally. Of course, I will bring some gifts with me as well.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The crowd became speechless once again.
Guang Yuanâs agent tugged at Guang Yuan and whispered, âShe doesnât look like a writer to me at all, but rather like the fictional character, eunuch Zhao Gao that Li Bai created. Thereâs no one above her other than the emperor!â
âZhao Gao was not created by Liâ¦â
âThatâs not important!â Guang Yuanâs agent interrupted. âI didnât believe it when someone said on the internet that Fu Zhi was lucky to be treated as a daughter by the country, but now, look at that old sly fox Wang Changyuan. His attitude towards her is totally different from how he treated Mu Chenxi. If anyone tells me that they donât believe Fu Zhi is the countryâs daughter, I will wack their heads until they believe it. Letâs sign the contract. I have a feeling that her movie will become a hit in the future!â
Mu Chenxi heard everything that Guang Yuanâs agent said to him. She bit her lower lip and then she heard Fu Zhi say to Wang Changyuan, âLetâs talk about it another time. Did the government not pay you enough? If you give the Mu Corporationâs movie the green light without reviewing it meticulously, I will tell on you.â
