Chapter 139: 138. Definitely here to show off

This was serious trouble now, with fans in the group starting to express their indignant condemnation and raising their arms to shout. More and more people began leaving messages cursing loudly.

"What’s going on here?! That Tang Shu, we still don’t know how she got the role!"]

"Right, she even went to the audition in sportswear, not professional at all. How could such a person possibly get a role based on her acting skills?"]

"Shen Siyi is supposed to be a lady from a distinguished family, how could Tang Shu with that Lin Yiyi’s ’little white flower’ acting skills play a well-born lady? What a joke!"]

"She stole the role from our Xiumin, and you still dare to be so rampant? Have you no conscience at all?"]

"Damn, are Tang Shu’s fans a cult? What kind of logic is that!"]

"Showing off, definitely here to show off!"]

...

At Vast Entertainment, in the training room.

Zeng Xiumin collapsed to the ground upon hearing the news of losing the role from her assistant, her face a picture of disbelief.

"Impossible, impossible, Vast is clearly the investor in the drama, how could I not be Female Lead No.2?!"]

"Tang Shu must have played some sort of trick!"]

"Where’s my phone?"]

The assistant at her side quickly handed over the apple-branded phone, "Here!"]

Zeng Xiumin snatched the phone quickly and dialed Wang Zheng, but...

All she got was a busy tone—a prolonged one, indicating that no one was picking up.

***

What was Wang Zheng doing at that time?

At the Vast Entertainment PR Department, the PR manager, loosening his tie, was pacing back and forth in his office, visibly agitated.

His face showed his urgent concern.

"Wang Zheng, Wang Zheng, didn’t you say the role of Shen Siyi was Zeng Xiumin’s? How could it be stolen by Tang Shu! Now fans online are demanding explanations on the official Weibo, and leaders are waiting there to demand explanations from me, what do I do now?!"]

An official company Weibo post, no matter what it publishes, represents the interests of the company. If it’s something positive, leaders naturally wouldn’t say much, and might not even offer praise.

But what if it’s something negative and embarrassing?

Then all the faults would definitely fall on the PR Department!

The PR manager felt as if he was about to rip his hair out!

Wang Zheng sat opposite him with a gloomy face, his phone ringing in his pocket. Seeing it was from someone familiar, he instantly picked up.

"Hello, Director Zhang, did you find out anything? What... I see... Okay, I understand."]

Soon after, he hung up the phone, but his expression was even darker than before.

"What happened?"]

"I know why Vast lost the role."]

"Why?!"]

The PR manager pressed for an answer following his statement, but only God knew that what he wanted the most at that moment was to find a way to explain this blunder to the public and the leadership!

Wang Zheng’s expression darkened, "Starshine Media has become the largest shareholder of ’You Look Beautiful When You Smile.’ Naturally, the production team is swayed by money, and this time... we were careless."]

"That’s impossible, didn’t we invest 8 million in this weekly drama? Starshine Media is just a small company with a few million in registered capital, how could they invest more than us in a weekly drama that we don’t even know will be a hit or not!"]

The PR manager’s first reaction was disbelief.

How could that small company, Starshine Media, have the funds to invest? What a joke!]

Wang Zheng sneered, "I couldn’t believe it either. Is Starshine Media trying to go all in?"]
