Chapter 717: 368 Account Calculation (Second Update)_2
Previously, a female star named Liang Yanran in the entertainment industry suddenly committed suicide. Months later, it was revealed that she was murdered by her manager and her boyfriend. The news shocked the entire entertainment industry and was considered the biggest scandal of the year. He would not normally pay attention to gossips in the entertainment industry, but by chance, he saw a post that exposed Xue An. At first, he simply glanced at it, but then he discovered something strange hidden within it.
Xue Anâs white moonlight, the timing and location of his hospitalization, coincided with Yu Jiangâs condition after his injury. He remembered Master Xiao saying, âSo many coincidences canât be coincidental.â
He followed the lead on Xue An and the more he investigated, the more shocking it became. The white moonlight of Xue An that year must have been Yu Jiang. But after he was discharged from the hospital, the clues about Yu Jiangâs whereabouts were severed, and Xue An disappeared from the world after the scandal broke out.
Now, as long as they could find Xue An, they could find clues about Yu Jiang.
And Xue An, whether before or after his disappearance, always had a âhandâ behind him. This was also the direct evidence that made him believe that Xue Anâs disappearance was related to Yu Jiang.
âXue An?â Ran Tengxiao muttered the name with a dark expression in his eyes.
The warm carriage seemed to turn into an icy, snowy world in an instant.
âEven if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I must find this person.â
â
âMr. Cen Ning, next week is my birthday. Can I invite you to my birthday party?â
The man, holding textbooks under his arm, smiled and gently touched the little girlâs head, speaking softly, âIf Iâm not busy that day, Iâll come to your birthday party.â
âReally? Thatâs great.â The little girl happily ran off, joined two other girls who looked exactly like her in the distance, and left the campus while laughing and chatting.
The sun was setting, and the man stood on the railing in front of the teaching building. The setting sun shone on his face, giving him a gentle glow.
Zhao Xueying looked up from her students and stopped in the middle of sending a text message. She raised her hand to sweep the hair away from her temple and walked over smiling.
âMr. Cen Ning, do you have time tonight? Letâs have dinner together. A new restaurant serving stone pot rice opened at the east gate of the school. I heard itâs good.â
Cen Ning had been at the school for nearly a month and was very popular among the single female teachers. She didnât want to let the other women to gain an advantage.
Cen Ning smiled slightly and shook his head, âIâm sorry, Ms. Zhao. I have to prepare lessons tonight and wonât have time. Maybe next time.â
Zhao Xueying looked disappointed, but quickly smiled and said, âMr. Cen Ning is so dedicated and takes his teaching seriously. The students really like you. I believe you will soon become a regular teacher.â
âI hope so.â Cen Ning nodded and turned to leave.
Having grown up in a nunnery since childhood, she was the true heiress of the Zhus, as well as a close senior to Ming Jing.
No one would have thought sheâd become the new Lady Yu.
For a while, heated debates erupted online, along with various conspiracy theories.
After all, Ming Xin had neither educational background nor good looks. She had no advantage in the entertainment industry, so many people speculated that Ming Jing had used some tactics to promote her senior.
The entertainment industry was nowadays a chaotic mess; all sorts of strange creatures were trying to make money here. Ming Xin had no particular talent, but given the Zhusâ or Ming Jingâs current capabilities, promoting Ming Xin towards success in the entertainment industry wouldnât be too difficult. This, however, outraged the public.
If she had no talent, then she shouldnât be seeking a share of the pieâshe was simply going against the audienceâs interests.
As a result, Ming Jingâs reputation also suffered, as many people accused her of being arrogant. Some questioned whether Ming Xin, who had no acting skills or good looks, would rely on capital resources to run rampant in the entertainment industry.
Had she been chosen by Yu Dawei based on her own abilities? What a joke.
Born and raised in a mountainous area, the young nun probably didnât even know what acting was.
Additionally, some of the artists whose actresses didnât get chosen by Yu Dawei found the decision hard to swallow. Their managing companies hired water armies to muddy the waters in hopes that if Ming Xin were replaced, their own artists might get the chance. This further resulted in a smear campaign against Ming Xin and Ming Jing.
The comments online were unbearable to read.
âFound it! The first marketing account that broke the news is affiliated with Yamei Mediaâs brokerage company. The largest shareholder of this company is Gong Qiang,â Zheng Qing said, snapping his fingers. âThis old bastard dares to mess with my people. It seems the lesson I taught him last time wasnât enough. Find all the dirt on his artists and release it allâIâll keep him busy wiping butts for a year.â
Ming Xin frowned and said, âAs I recall, Xiao Wenwen accompanied Gong Qiang.â
Zheng Qing snorted, âXiao Wenwen, huh? Time to settle old and new scores together.â
Her team was now very well-established, so once she issued an order, they would swiftly execute it. She stopped her assistant Xiao Wen, who was about to leave.
âBy the way, get in touch with Director Yuâs side. We will fully cooperate with the film crewâs promotional campaign,â she said.
Zheng Qing made several phone calls, completely engrossed. Once everything was arranged, she looked up to see a certain person leisurely drinking tea on the sofa and couldnât help but feel annoyed.
âMiss Ran, is the tea in my office to your liking?â she asked sarcastically.
This cunning girl, with a mind deeper than the ocean, had managed to rope her in as well.
The time had come to properly settle this score with her.
