"How could one possibly defeat Mu Ziwei?"

All the way, Xu Qianyun turned on the full ’Curious Blue Cat’ mode, incessantly pestering Tang Shu to tell him about the audition, but to no avail as the person in question was tight-lipped, not revealing a hint.

At Palm Pavilion, Yang Tiantian parked the car in its spot, and Xu Qianyun stepped out of the car with a gloomy face.

Carrying a book, Tang Shu went straight to the second-floor study, "You all go ahead and play, call me when it’s dinner."

"Got it, Boss."

Xu Qianyun pouted and changed into sportswear before heading straight to the training room where Su Xiaochi was already changed and waiting for him.

"Eh? Something’s not right..."

Before he reached the door, the young man halted in his tracks, annoyed as he slapped his forehead.

"What do you mean I’m a child because I haven’t dated? Could Sister already be in love???"

No, absolutely not!

No one is allowed!

For two consecutive days, the hashtag #Tang Shu Withdraws From Hot Search stayed up on Weibo.

As time passed, the heat did not subside but instead intensified as more and more netizens joined the conversation.

Within Vast Entertainment, many celebrities took to Weibo to cheer for Mu Ziwei, whether they know her from before or not, seizing this opportunity to pick sides.

In the break room, several artists chatted while sipping tea.

"Did we express our support too early? There’s still no news from the ’Corridor Pavilion’ crew."

"Yeah, I just had my agent check, and we at Vast haven’t received any contracts from the crew yet. Isn’t this matter still undecided?"

"What does that matter? It’s precisely because the verdict isn’t out yet that it’s the best time to show our stance. Once the cast list is published, we’d just be blatantly riding the popularity wave."

"... But aren’t we also riding on Sister Ziwei’s popularity now—"

One of the new actors muttered under their breath, but unfortunately, that truthful remark went unheard.

"What do you know? By stepping out to support her now, she’ll actually take a good look at us!"

"Moreover, out of all the auditionees, it’s our Vast Entertainment with the strong background, and Mu Ziwei has just returned from abroad in grand style. Anyone but a fool would not choose someone else."

"That sounds somewhat reasonable?"

"Besides... that Tang Shu, tsk tsk, is a bigger threat to us—"

Tang Shu is young, that’s beyond doubt, and her distinct looks are also undeniable.

This person will surely be their fierce competitor!

Given any chance, anyone would step on her if they could, so how could they not make good use of such an opportunity?

At these words, the group fell silent.

The topic of Tang Shu withdrawing from the hot search remained high on the internet, and underneath Tang Shu’s Weibo, many new fans began to stir restlessly. Interestingly, quite a few decided to switch from fans to haters, leaving comments to say goodbye.

Inside Starshine Media.

Shen Yan, who had been squatting in front of the computer following the news, sighed and began to feel anxious.

"Does our boss really have a backup plan? This heat is practically cooking me!"

"Don’t worry, just wait."

Xiao Li brewed a cup of coffee for himself, sat down with poise, and casually glanced at the upper right corner, where a new message had popped up.

"Huh? Looks like there’s something?"

"What’s up?"

"’Corridor Pavilion’ crew’s official Weibo just posted new information, let’s check it out."

Instantly energized, Shen Yan sat up, almost spilling the just-made coffee, and his right hand moved quickly over the mouse.
