Chapter 215: He Will Definitely Regret It

Translator: Zayn_

When the second episode of All-Class Challenge was on the air, The Empress had its grand finale.

With the double popularity, Song Qingyou’s name landed in the front row of the trending searches.

She had only stayed for half a day before she was pushed down by the news of other celebrities.

Among them was the news that Time Media had decided to film an inspirational drama about the urban workplace. Among the actors were not only Shen Xiyan, but also Tang Zinian.

Tang Zinian even called Song Qingyou.

“Sister Qingyou, I know you’re planning to shoot a career drama recently, but 1 didn’t say anything… The company suddenly asked me to act in a similar drama, and I only just found out…Sister Qingyou, don’t be angry with me!”

Tang Zinian lowered his voice as if he was whispering.

Song Qingyou nodded. “I’m not angry.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a female voice came from the other end of the phone. “Zinian, who are you talking to? What do you mean angry?”

“Let’s meet up next time we record the show and talk about it.”

Tang Zinian said and hung up the phone.

Song Qingyou and Chen Lan looked at each other, then picked out the scripts on the coffee table to see if there was a role suitable for Song Qingyou.

On the other side, Tang Zinian, who had hung up the phone, saw Yan Xin walking over and immediately sat up straight.

This was already a conditioned reflex formed after he was sent by Yan Xin to correct his posture.

Yan Xin frowned. “In private, it doesn’t matter if you don’t behave properly. If it becomes a habit and you bring it to the camera, you will have to continue to attend the physique class.”

“Don’t.” Tang Zinian stood up immediately. “Sister Yan, I know I was wrong. I’ll be more careful at home in the future…”

Yan Xin’s brows furrowed even more tightly, “Body shape is secondary… Were you on the phone with Song Qingyou?”

“Uh-”

“Don’t think about fooling around!”

“Yes, I was on the phone with Sister Qingyou.” Tang Zinian pursed his lips. “I’m just chasing after celebrities in private. Can’t 1 do that?”

“You can chase anyone, but not Song Qingyou.”

“You know how much Miss Shen hates Song Qingyou. She said it out loud during the meeting.” Yan Xin sat down and said in a low voice.

Everyone guessed that after Father Shen’s death, the Shen Group might not fall into the hands of Shen Xiyan, but the person in charge of Time Media would most likely be her.

“Don’t offend the boss just to chase after celebrities.” Yan Xin said meaningfully.

“Oh,” Tang Zinian replied and asked, “The workplace drama this time…”

“Miss Shen is well-informed. She heard that Shengshi Entertainment is preparing to shoot a workplace drama recently and has even set up a project.”

“You’re playing the male lead this time. You must seize the opportunity. Even if you don’t curry favor with Miss Shen in the production team, at least don’t offend her.”

Tang Zinian agreed, but he was indignant in his heart.

Ever since he participated in the filming of All-Class Challenge, he had become famous.

Even if he wasn’t as popular as Song Qingyou, he was still a famous young hunk.

Perhaps Shen Xiyan had chosen him as the male lead because of this.

She could also use him to provoke Song Qingyou.

That was why Tang Zinian was worried that Song Qingyou might get angry.

Yan Xin saw that he didn’t really take her words to heart, so she said earnestly, “You are now one of the artistes that the company focuses on nurturing. No matter what happens in private, in front of the camera, you must be of the same heart as Miss Shen… Don’t let Miss Shen find out that you’re chasing after celebrities. Otherwise, you’ll definitely be in trouble!”

Tang Zinian was one of the trainees trained by Time Media. Ever since he participated in the filming of All-Class Challenge, the compensation for breach of contract was already sky-high. If Shen Xiyan wanted to drive him out, Tang Zinian would have to bear a large amount of debt. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to jump ship to another company.

“I understand.” Tang Zinian nodded.

Seeing that he finally listened to her words, Yan Xin began to explain work matters.

As soon as she left, Tang Zinian opened the Song Qingyou fan group he was looking at earlier.

The group was also talking about Time Media wanting to shoot a workplace drama.

[ Is there something wrong with Time Media? Whatever our You-zi[l] shoots, they will shoot as well. The news of Shengshi Entertainment’s workplace drama project was announced a few days ago, but You-zi did not publicize it in advance.]

[ I think that instead of saying that Time Media is sick, it’s better to say that someone is sick.]

[ Everyone, be careful when you send messages. It’s not impossible for a hater to join the fan group.]

[ We didn’t mention her name, but everyone knows who she is. She’s been wanting to step on Sister Qingyou ever since she came back from Man vs Wild 3J

[And then, every time, she didn’t succeed. Hahaha, she’s like a clown.]

[ Besides her, what’s with Tang Zinian? He was also considered to be Sister Qingyou’s friend, right? Isn’t he repaying kindness with enmity now?]

[ Who wants to use Tang Zinian to hurt people?]

When Tang Zinian was reading the messages in the group, these people happened to be talking about him.

He did not hesitate to follow suit.

[ Sister Qingyou’s new drama is written by Ms. Qing Meng. It’ll definitely be a hit. Tang Zinian will definitely regret taking on a similar drama! ]

There was nothing wrong with saying that he would regret it!

Tang Zinian smiled when he saw that everyone in the group agreed with him.

Song Qingyou and Chen Lan spent the entire day picking out scripts, but they couldn’t find a character they were satisfied with.

Chen Lan couldn’t help but say, “Why don’t you ask Teacher Qing Meng to write another script for you?”

Song Qingyou was speechless.

The key was that she had just finished writing the script for the workplace drama and was still thinking about her new book. In addition, she was busy with the logistics company. Where would she find the time?

Fortunately, Chen Lan was just casually saying it. After a while, she changed the topic.

“Let’s put the script aside for now. It’s better to have quality than quantity. The two dramas you’ve filmed have started off very well. If the quality of the later dramas is poor, I’m afraid it would negatively affect you.”

“Compared to this, Shen Xiyan’s workplace drama has not even started filming and it has already become a hot search. Shouldn’t we also promote ours?”

“It’s not too late to promote it after the filming officially starts.”

She did this because she did not want to jump out of the limelight of Time Media’s hype.

After all, Shengshi Entertainment was not as rich as Time Media, so throwing money at them would not work.

However, in the next two days, Time Media’s publicity did not stop. They even created a scandal between Shen Xiyan and Tang Zinian, which was then clarified.

Song Qingyou had plenty of patience. No matter how Shen Xiyan jumped around, she didn’t have much of a reaction.

She only asked He Jun to double the price when Shen Xiyan came to buy the water army[2].

While Shen Xiyan and Tang Zinian were jumping around on the hot search, Lin Siya had already used her connections to bring Xu Xingzhou to work in a news media company in disguise.

Song Qingyou’s new drama, The Editorial Eoom, was about a news editorial department.

When she gave them the script, she had said that if possible, Lin Siya and the others should experience what it was like to be a real news editor.

Unexpectedly, Lin Siya took these words to heart and had been experiencing being a news editor recently.
