Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Ma’am, What’s Wrong with Your Eyes?

The other side.

Sun Liguo, who was in a meeting, suddenly received a call from his niece Sun Yazhu.

He immediately paused the meeting and answered the call.

"What’s the matter, Xiao Zhu? Are you in trouble? I’m coming over right away, little uncle."

Ever since Sun Yazhu was kidnapped, the Sun Family had directly elevated the level of protection for her safety by a notch.

The Family Head of the Sun Family even instructed that all Sun Family members must answer Sun Yazhu’s call, and any oversight would be met with family law.

Sun Liguo already had a good relationship with this smart little niece and was extremely concerned about her affairs, afraid she might be bullied outside again.

"No, little uncle. I heard you invested in an entertainment company?"

Sun Liguo immediately breathed a sigh of relief, loosened the tie around his neck, and said with a smile, "What’s the matter? Did you take a liking to one? I’ll transfer it to you."

"No. I just have a friend who just entered the industry, could you help look after her?"

"A friend?" Sun Liguo was a bit surprised as this little niece of his was not someone who easily had friends.

"Yes, a very good friend. Her name is Ye Tong, and she’s currently filming ’Gone with the Wind,’ playing the role of Yan Fei. If your company has resources, keep her in mind."

Sun Liguo chuckled, sat up straight, and jokingly said, "Alright, it’s rare for Xiao Zhu to find a friend worthy of her attention, so little uncle will definitely help. When do you plan to return to Beijing? The old man has asked you to come back."

"No rush, I’ll come back once the project in Anhe is completed."

"You’re always so driven, take care of your health."

...

Sun Liguo smiled as he finished the call with Sun Yazhu and hung up, then looked at the employees in the meeting room.

"The meeting will resume in the afternoon, dismissed. Secretary Zhang, please stay behind."

Secretary Zhang was Sun Liguo’s confidant and was highly valued by him.

"Boss, you seem quite happy, was it a call from the young miss?"

Sun Liguo smiled, tapping at him twice in the air, "You’re quite sharp."

"Boss, wasn’t it you who said that the young miss is your source of joy, and seeing her dispels all worries?"

Sun Liguo thought of the scene where little Sun Yazhu would adorably call him little uncle, his expression softened, but remembering the recent events, his smile gradually disappeared.

After calming down for a while, he looked at Secretary Zhang, who was respectfully standing to the side.

"Go investigate an actress named Ye Tong. She’s currently playing the role of Yan Fei in ’Gone with the Wind.’"

Half an hour later —

Secretary Zhang walked into Sun Liguo’s office with a conflicted expression.

At this moment, Sun Liguo was in his office grooming a snow-white ragdoll cat.

"Did you find her?"

Secretary Zhang nodded slightly, "Boss, I found information on Ye Tong, but..."

"What?"

"She is currently being heavily criticized online, and even the production team of ’Gone with the Wind’ is being boycotted by netizens."

Sun Liguo was not surprised, "Hmm, if there was nothing wrong, that girl wouldn’t have come to me. Continue..."

"This Ye Tong originally started as an extra, but for some unknown reason, she caught the eye of ’Gone with the Wind’ director Feng Zhong and was directly replaced by the original actress Lin Wei. Lin Wei is an artist under Tiansheng..."

Sun Liguo felt a headache coming on with these connections and directly interrupted him, "Alright, alright, did you investigate how Ye Tong and Xiao Zhu met?"

"No. The young miss’s social circle is very simple; she’s always either discussing business or on her way to discuss business. There hasn’t been any intersection found between the two. The only intersection is..."

"Is what?" Sun Liguo finally looked at him.

"Ye Tong is in Anhe City, and the young miss is planning to invest in Anhe City."

Sun Liguo’s brows gradually furrowed, "Anhe... When did Xiao Zhu plan to invest in Anhe?"

"Shortly after the incident with the young miss."

Sun Liguo’s gaze gradually darkened.

Secretary Zhang knew that he had also realized it, and silently stood by, acting as the backdrop.

After a long period, Sun Liguo suddenly said, "Secretary Zhang, go approach Ye Tong and bring her over secretly."

"Yes—"

Secretary Zhang nodded slightly, was about to turn around, and suddenly thought about Sun Yazhu’s case, turned back, and quietly asked, "What about the matter the young miss instructed?"

"Keep it under wraps."

"Alright."

Meanwhile, Feng Zhong, who was anxiously making calls, suddenly received a call from the Jia Ying side.

He thought they were calling to discuss the withdrawal of investment, simmering with anger, but was surprised when Jia Ying’s investment department manager suddenly decided not to withdraw.

They were even prepared to spend money on public relations for the production team and requested Ye Tong to hold a press conference.

This was definitely good news for the production team, so Feng Zhong immediately informed all the crew members and actors present to get ready for a meeting.

This included action advisor Ji Ning.

After Shao Nan hung up the call, he respectfully said to a young lady sitting by the window, "Advisor Ji, Director Feng said for everyone to go to his place for a meeting to discuss the crew’s public relations." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Shao Nan was the internal crew member who had been blackening Ye Tong online.

In just an afternoon, he had been so psychologically scarred by this duo, now, aside from being respectful, he had no other thoughts, "thought" as in ideas.

The older one’s combat power was high, unfathomable, and the younger one’s hacking skills were top-notch; they even managed to crash Star Entertainment twice in just one afternoon.

They even dug out all the black material on Lin Wei from childhood to adulthood.

The only thing he couldn’t understand was that this advisor Ji didn’t let the dirt get published.

Just publishing this would definitely shock everyone’s jaws.

It would utterly ruin Lin Wei, making recovery impossible.

"Advisor Ji..." Seeing that Ji Ning hadn’t moved, Shao Nan called out again.

Ji Ning finally stood up, gave him a glance, "Do you know what to say?"

"Mm-hmm, I know." Shao Nan obediently nodded.

***

Feng Zhong’s residence was in the very center of the homestay village, with a larger yard, and there was a long stone table in the yard that could accommodate over a dozen people for a meal.

By the time Ji Ning arrived, quite a few people were already in the yard.

Those familiar with Ji Ning immediately went up to greet her, while those who weren’t stood by watching.

When Feng Zhong saw her, he immediately waved her over, "Xiao Ning, come sit over here."

With some eyes on her, Ji Ning walked straight over to sit beside Feng Zhong, and Lin Yuanyang followed right behind, sitting down without a fuss.

Shao Nan also wanted to exploit his association but, seeing the predatory gaze from Yan Jing, hurriedly scurried off to sit in a corner where she couldn’t see him.

At this moment, Yan Jing had already regained her senses, and while she couldn’t remember what happened with Ji Ning in the restroom, she still remembered that Ji Ning and Ye Tong were in cahoots.

She shot her dirty looks unrelentingly.

Ji Ning couldn’t be bothered with her, but Lin Yuanyang wouldn’t let it slide, "Ma’am, what’s wrong with your eyes? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Yan Jing, unable to retract her gaze in time, was almost beside herself with contempt, yet forced a smile onto her face, "Little boy, this isn’t a place for you to be."

"I’m her assistant." Lin Yuanyang adjusted his glasses and replied coolly.

This statement immediately provided Yan Jing with leverage, and she raised her voice, "Advisor Ji, our Hua Continent laws clearly state that child labor is illegal, this is against the law. Your sister’s issue isn’t resolved yet, and now you’re stirring this up. If some paparazzi expose it, how would we continue filming? Our crew is seriously unlucky..."
