Chapter 562: 561. Small scene, hold on!

The online comments and shares about Tang Shu were so fiery that even after the Starshine Media PR team released several messages in a row, they couldn’t stir any ripples.

"Sister Luo, what should we do now?"

Shen Yan had collapsed into her chair, "We can’t even take down the trending topic now—"

With so many netizens pushing it, the trending topic couldn’t be taken down. If they tried, it would leave too obvious a trace and would give people more to talk about if it were removed.

Luo Lin sighed; she was out of ideas now.

Turning around, she unlocked her phone’s screen and dialed a number, calling Director Li’s assistant Lu Gang directly.

Ever since Tang Shu had signed a contract with the crew as an actor, she, as an agent, finally had a bit of a role to play, and quickly contacted the other party to discuss what to do next.

"Assistant Lu, hello."

"Oh, it’s Miss Luo. Are you calling about Tang Shu trending?"

"Yes, I was wondering if there’s anything the production team needs us to cooperate with?"

Corridor Pavilion was a major production, so Sister Luo’s tone was very polite, but perhaps because the other side had met with Tang Shu a few times, they treated her like one of their own.

"Don’t worry, Miss Luo. Director Li was quite furious when he heard the news just now. We’ll handle it on our end, and it will be resolved soon."

"All right then, I’ll leave it to Assistant Lu. If there’s anything we can do for Tang Shu, we will fully cooperate."

"Got it."

Assistant Lu on the other end of the phone was very easy to talk to and agreed right away.

After ending the call, Luo Lin’s heart settled, and she turned back to look at everyone.

"Just wait, we don’t have to do anything. The production team has it under control."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

***

This wait lasted until the next day.

On her way to Medical University, Tang Shu sat in the backseat, busy replying to messages in the group chats.

Since making the trending topic again, whether it was the Jianghu Emergency Group or the groups for You Smile and Heroes in Troubled Times, everyone was in an uproar, comforting her and asking if she needed help.

Tang Shu felt warmed by their concern and politely declined everyone’s offer of assistance.

[Tang Shu]: "Thank you for the support, don’t worry, the issue will be resolved soon. I’ll treat everyone to a meal next time."

As soon as her message went out, Chen Xin, Zhang Yilin, and others immediately replied with an "ok" message, and Xiao Linzi even used his own exclusive emoji, exaggerating to the extreme.

Tang Shu couldn’t help but burst into laughter looking at the comical image.

At this moment, deep in the forests of Yun Province and dressed in ancient costume, Geng Qiuqiu helplessly held up her phone to the director opposite her.

"Director, you see? The situation will be resolved soon, don’t worry."

She had repeated these words countless times, but the director in front of her had been pestering her for a long time. She hadn’t even had the chance to drink a sip of water during the break and was preoccupied with comforting him.

"This... Will it really be solved? The trouble Tang Shu has encountered this time is no small matter."

The whole internet was outraged—how was this predicament going to be resolved?

The director was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Geng Qiuqiu was at a loss for words. She didn’t know how it would be resolved, and the crisis did seem quite significant, but she believed in Tang Shu.

"If she says it will be resolved, then it will be. Just wait for the good news."

The director immediately pulled a bitter face, "Oh dear, how come our production’s ice beauty role has been so problematic? We lost one in the Tibetan Area, and it was so hard to finally get Tang Shu, only for her to run into this kind of issue."

If they couldn’t get past this hurdle, their production would have to reshoot the role.

"The film is about to wrap up, and we’ll be entering the post-editing phase in a few days. It’s still uncertain whether we can release it as planned for the summer."

The director muttered nonstop with a sad expression, making Geng Qiuqiu’s lips twitch.

"Director, your acting skills... It’s a shame you’re not an actor."

Her facial expressions are pretty rich, huh? It actually looks quite convincing. If I didn’t know her temperament so well, I would probably be fooled by such exquisite acting skills.

"Right? Right? I also feel like my acting is top-notch!"

"... Then why didn’t you choose to be an actor instead of becoming a comedy director?"

"Not to hide anything from you, I originally planned to go into the comedy acting business. However, someone said I was too handsome, which didn’t fit the comedy vibe, aww~~"

"..."

Sure enough, as a comedy professional, you just throw out jokes like it’s nothing!

Geng Qiuqiu rolled her eyes at the azure sky, not avoiding him in the slightest, and ran straight to the filming site next door.

The director left on the spot chuckled twice, gathered himself, and re-immersed in the shooting.

"I just hope Tang Shu pulls through, or else the crew will have to make another trip to the Tibetan Area..."

"..."

Geng Qiuqiu tossed the back of her head at him.

The minor incident on set naturally didn’t affect Tang Shu herself, but the entrance of Medical University was indeed affected by her.

Yang Tiantian parked the car around a corner a hundred meters away from the north gate of the school and stared ahead with her mouth agape in shock.

"Boss, boss, boss, we’re in big trouble!"

On the back seat, Tang Shu who had just replied to another message raised her head in confusion. Suddenly, countless heads crowded into her vision, and she saw that most people at the gate were holding microphones for interviews, looking expectantly into the campus.

"..."

Wow, quite the grand display.

"Is it journalists?"

"Yeah, Sister Luo warned me to be careful when driving. I didn’t expect them to really dare to come to the school to block us."

It was the first time Yang Tiantian had seen such a spectacle and didn’t dare to drive any further.

Tang Shu paused, looked at her backpack by her side, and then had an idea.

"Drive the car back."

"Ah? You’re not going to class?"

"Today is the midterm exam. I have to go. Drive the car over to the west wall."

"Oh—"

Yang Tiantian instinctively followed the order, and soon parked the car by the school’s west wall. Before she could figure out what was happening, she saw the back car door open and Tang Shu, who had put on her mask, step out.

"Boss?"

Answering her was Tang Shu taking a leap, and the next moment she was already on top of the wall.

"!!!"

Before jumping down, Tang Shu didn’t forget to wave at her as a farewell gesture.

"Go back."

"..."

Yang Tiantian looked up at the wall that was well over two meters high and swallowed hard.

Even though she had been an assistant for almost a year, she was still somewhat scared by the sudden situation.

"Small scene, small scene, stay strong, must stay strong!"

Yang Tiantian reassured herself while starting the Volkswagen and driving onto another road.

***

Inside the campus.

Tang Shu, who had jumped off the wall, didn’t encounter anyone and had an unobstructed path all the way to the exam venue.
