Su Yao and her entourage returned home. Along the way, Li Lin kept scolding Su Yao. Li Yin didn't dare to interrupt, but she still nodded vigorously at crucial moments to show her agreement with her brother.
Su Yao just lowered her head and scrolled through her phone, completely ignoring them. She even made a few calls to Pei Yan during the journey.
"Sis Yao, what are you planning to do?" Li Lin finally questioned Su Yao.
"I'm not planning to do anything. I'm not going to sign with any company. I'm going to be my own boss!" Su Yao expressed her innermost thoughts.
"What?" Li Lin and his sister exclaimed in surprise.
"I'm going to be my own boss!" Su Yao repeated herself loudly. These people today all needed her to repeat herself. Was it really that astonishing? In the entertainment industry, there were quite a few people who opened their own studios and became bosses.
"What about the current situation?" Li Lin was more concerned about Su Yao's reputation. Whether she was really the other woman or was wrongly accused of being one, it would definitely affect Su Yao's image.
"This is a matter between me and Pei Yan and his wife. Pei Yan and I are just friends and colleagues. Why should I agree to Yuyan Entertainment's idea of doing public relations? Isn't that admitting that there's something improper between Pei Yan and me?" Su Yao's reasoning kicked in.
"But you just had the sugar - daddy incident, and now you're involved in someone else's marriage. What will your fans think of you?"
"The innocent will prove their innocence. I believe my fans are smart and discerning." Su Yao started to remove her makeup.
"Sis Yao, if you keep doing this, I'll quit. You'll have to count it as a work - related injury if you give me a heart attack." Li Lin finally gave up helplessly.
"Come on, it's getting late. You've been tired all day. You should go and rest. Go back quickly. We'll talk about anything else tomorrow."
Su Yao replied. The things she discovered today had put her in a bad mood.
After Li Lin and Li Yin took their leave, Su Yao received a call from Pei Yan.
"Yaoyao, we'll handle the online situation together." Pei Yan's tone was quite firm.
"We've done nothing wrong. We're just ordinary friends. What do you need to handle?" Su Yao finally exploded when she heard that Pei Yan wanted to take responsibility again.
"Yaoyao, you still won't accept me." Pei Yan was silent for a moment. "This matter is related to me."
"What, do you want to be famous or something? Why are you so eager to be involved?" Su Yao exploded. "Okay, I'm in a bad mood today. I need to rest. We'll talk tomorrow." Su Yao hung up on Pei Yan for the first time.
At Miao Yue's house.
"You did a good job. There will be an interview tomorrow. Get prepared." The male voice on the phone was steady and imposing.
"What should I say?" Miao Yue, with curlers in her hair, was doing her nails while asking.
"The script has been written. Just memorize it." The male voice was cold and showed no intention of saying more.
"You can't go back on your promise." Miao Yue raised her hand and looked at her fingernails under the light.
"Of course not." The male voice hung up after saying that.
In Pei Yan's office.
In the dark office, Pei Yan sat in front of the bright computer. The computer screen illuminated his glasses, making it hard to tell his expression.
Pei Yan stared at the computer, repeatedly browsing certain content. Now, he had some clues. But he still needed one piece of evidence. This evidence would surface tomorrow. Tonight would be another sleepless night, all for Su Yao.
The next day, Li Lin and his sister came to Su Yao's house early.
"Sis Yao, the internet is going crazy." Li Lin handed the breakfast to Su Yao. Today's breakfast consisted of steamed buns, Che Kung noodles, and seafood soup.
"I've decided. I'll name my studio Shine Tomorrow Studio." Su Yao continued, "I'll sign Chu Dianlan. I've already talked to him." Su Yao spent the whole night last night convincing Lan Mao (Chu Dianlan) to work for her. Apart from complaining about the trouble of terminating his contract, Lan Mao still agreed to recognize Su Yao as his boss.
"Sis Yao, you're so efficient." Li Yin said. Li Yin had been a fan of Chu Dianlan recently. Thinking about the opportunity to work with him in the future, she was very happy.
"Are you planning to retire from the entertainment circle?" Li Lin felt something was off. He knew that Su Yao suddenly disappeared after winning the Best Actress award in her sophomore year of high school, all for Pei Yan. Now, it was Pei Yan again. This Pei Yan was really Su Yao's nemesis.
"Yeah, maybe." Su Yao took a bite of the bun. It was stuffed with mushrooms and pork. Not bad.
"Alright, stop talking. I'll quit right away. Li Yin, come with me." Li Lin pulled Li Yin towards the door.
"Why? I think Sis Yao's plan is feasible." Li Yin was confused. She was still thinking about Chu Dianlan.
"She's so spineless. She'll be dragged down by a man sooner or later." Li Lin complained.
"What does that have to do with you?" Li Yin finally got to the point.
"Li Yin's right. Do you also want to be famous or something?" Su Yao added.
Li Lin was speechless. He wondered what the word "also" meant. Then he dejectedly returned to the sofa and sat down.
"Woo - woo - woo, she had already inserted herself between us, and I didn't even know until my husband wanted to divorce me..." Such a voice came from Su Yao's computer. In the video, Miao Yue was crying pitifully, looking extremely delicate. Immediately, the bullet comments on the video were filled with pity.
"Hehe, this Miao Yue also wants to be famous." Su Yao turned off the video and got up to wash up. "I'm going out," Su Yao left a message. "I'll handle this. I'll be your boss from now on. Just follow my instructions."
Li Lin had witnessed Su Yao's capabilities. This time, he decided to follow her orders. After Su Yao washed and dressed up, she put on a professional suit, looking dignified and steady. She picked up her bag and left.
In Pei Yan's office.
"Boss, what should we do about Yaoyao's situation this time?" Sun Yang and Wang Luo were extremely worried about their goddess and both gathered in front of Pei Yan to find out his attitude.
"I've already found the evidence. Yaoyao will be fine this time." Pei Yan was organizing the materials while saying, "Wang Luo, go and print four copies of this. I'll need them. Sun Yang, draft a lawyer's letter to clarify the situation."
"What situation?" Sun Yang asked.
"Weren't you just concerned about your goddess?" Pei Yan gave him a look.
There was a knock on the door. Su Yao, wearing sunglasses and a sun hat, appeared at the door.
"Yaoyao, we were just worried about you." Sun Yang and Wang Luo said in unison.
"Your boss is here. Go and do your work. What are you worried about?" Su Yao said.
Pei Yan already had some clues by now. It was just right that Su Yao came. He wanted to confirm something with her. So he sent Sun Yang and Wang Luo away to buy snacks and drinks.
"Yaoyao, are you planning to sign with Yuyan Entertainment recently?" Pei Yan asked.
"I've talked to them. Their terms are not suitable." Su Yao replied.
"Really? Just the terms are not suitable? Or is it because of me?" Pei Yan pushed his glasses.
"Lawyer Pei, you've been quite narcissistic recently." Su Yao glanced at Pei Yan.
"I've been working on a case recently. There's a client named Wu Tian. Do you know him?"
"Wu Tian, the one who reported Hu Zong in the Sun Shan case?" Su Yao was attracted by the case.
"Exactly. This Wu Tian is involved in multiple cases, but he always manages to get away. I suspect your situation is related to him."
"I don't know this Wu Tian. I've never even heard his name." Su Yao said truthfully.
"He's a senior executive at Yuyan Entertainment. It was his idea for Yan Nuo to invite you to renew your contract with Yuyan Entertainment last time." Pei Yan combined the clues he had found.
"Okay, what does this have to do with me?" Su Yao didn't understand.
"He seems to want to trap you by creating a scandal between you and me and force you to sign a contract with the company." Pei Yan presented his reasoning. This reasoning still lacked some evidence, but based on his experience, this was the truth.
"Hehe, he's thinking too much. I'm planning to open my own studio and be my own boss." Su Yao said. "Why do they want to force me to sign a contract?"
"Yaoyao, I understand your thoughts, but this time, let me help you." Pei Yan wanted to touch Su Yao's head again, but she dodged.
