Chapter 278: Chapter 278: The Big Reveal of the Popular Actress’s Financial Backer

Jiang Mian’s red lips pursed slightly, her interest visibly piqued.

"Hey, watch all you want, but the shoot in Lu City is going to last over two months, and the conditions might be a bit rough. Just wanted to give you a heads up."

Jiang Mian nodded repeatedly, "Mhm, I know. Contact Director Ming and don’t even consider it—I’ll take it."

When it came to good scripts, Jiang Mian was never one to back down easily.

"Sister Ting, this is bad. Some paparazzi leaked something on the internet - a major scoop at 12 PM today."

Jiang Mian and Luo Ting instantly looked up at Yangyang, who was slightly out of breath, "This might be related to Sister Mianmian; the internet is going crazy with discussions right now."

The large screen in the conference room projected the trending headlines on Weibo.

The subscription numbers for the paparazzi’s live room shot up.

"Today at noon, we will expose the backer behind a current hotshot female celebrity in the entertainment industry. So many female stars have fallen before her, yet she somehow always manages to turn the danger around. If you want to know who she and her backer are, don’t miss our live broadcast at 12."

This statement was just shy of naming names.

It was basically like broadcasting Jiang Mian’s ID number.

"Is it who I’m thinking of?"

"I knew Jiang Mian’s gift-giving couldn’t be ordinary when I saw the scale of it."

"I guess the backer can’t save her now. Looks like she’s about to be ruined."

"Nobody said who it is yet, and you’re already pointing fingers at Jiang Mian. Do you all have some kind of fantasy disorder?"

"Perhaps Jiang Mian’s now floating high with young popular actors, and her backer has abandoned her."

...

Just as Luo Ting was about to speak, her phone rang. She looked at the unknown number, pressed the speaker button, and laid the phone on the table.

"Hello, may I ask who’s calling?"

A man’s voice came through the phone, tentative, "Ms. Luo, the agent?"

Luo Ting’s eyebrows furrowed and she immediately started recording the call: "This is me. Who is this?"

The man on the other end chuckled, his tone imbued with malice: "You’ve seen the exposé on the internet, haven’t you? We’ve got some dirt on your client, Jiang Mian."

"How much do you think this secret, that everyone is talking about, is worth?"

Jiang Mian had had access to far more resources than the average person since her debut.

Her mysterious background remained a matter of widespread curiosity online.

Now, these paparazzi had the audacity to call and confidently proclaim on Weibo they would go live and reveal their information—meaning they must have something.

Jiang Mian’s eyes lifted slightly, her red lips curving in a dangerous smile, "I’m actually a bit curious to see which backer you’ve dug up for me. If you’re wrong, libel will land you in jail for a good while."

Luo Ting simply couldn’t stop Jiang Mian; her ancestor’s mouth was just too quick.

The paparazzo on the phone was momentarily stunned; they hadn’t anticipated Jiang Mian would confront them directly.

"Bro, don’t worry, she’s just bluffing."

"Are the photos we have all fake?"

The paparazzo’s whispered exchange was clearly audible in the meeting room.

Yangyang looked at Jiang Mian and Luo Ting, tapping his temple, indicating confusion: these two’s brains weren’t quite right.

And here they were, brazenly calling now to extort money.

The time on the phone turned to 11:30 AM.

Only half an hour left until the 12 PM live broadcast.

Yangyang watched as the number of online reservations kept increasing.

Even live chat comments were popping up from people saying they had bought food and were sitting tight, waiting for the update.

After discussing amongst themselves for a while, the paparazzo cleared his throat twice and spoke up, more seriously, "Since you don’t believe us, let me give you a little hint. Lin Group’s President Lin Chen—you know him, don’t you, Ms. Jiang Mian?"
