Su Yao understood what was going on. Officer Hu probably knew that she had helped him, so he pretended that it was her instruction to take care of Pei Yan. This was like providing Su Yao with a line of protection. After all, Officer Hu was the head of the serious - crime unit.
Su Yao secretly sent Officer Hu's name to Chu Dianlan and asked him to check into Officer Hu's background.
At the same time, she shared her thoughts with Pei Yan. "Pei Yanyan, do you think we should invite Miao Yue out again to finalize the divorce? How about going to Yalou?"
"Do you really want me to get divorced soon?" Pei Yan subconsciously wanted to know Su Yao's answer, and he had already guessed one in his mind.
"..."
Su Yao didn't know how to answer Pei Yan's question. Nodding would make her seem like a home - wrecker, while shaking her head would surely not be the answer Pei Yan wanted.
Just then, Su Yao's phone rang. The screen showed the name Chu Dianlan.
Did he find out so quickly? Su Yao could hardly believe it, but this call obviously saved her from the awkward situation.
"Hello? Dianlan? What's up?"
"Huh?" Chu Dianlan felt that the tone and conversation were a bit off. After a while, he realized that there might be someone else around. "Didn't you ask me to check on Hu Yiwei? I've got the information. I'll send it to you right away. Remember to check it."
"Okay, great. No problem. You can hang up."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Dianlan couldn't hear Su Yao's voice anymore. There was a beeping sound on the receiver, indicating that Su Yao had hung up first, even though she had told him to hang up first!
Not long after, the information was indeed sent to Su Yao's phone.
Hu Yiwei, the head of the serious - crime unit, had been awarded second - class merit twice and first - class merit once. He had solved the mass - murder case in Qingshui Village.
Su Yao was shocked. She had heard about the Qingshui Village case when she was young but didn't understand much at that time. All she remembered was the public panic. She never thought that it was Officer Hu who had solved it.
Meanwhile, another storm about Su Yao was brewing on Weibo. Yuyan Entertainment planned to invest in a popular IP novel and adapt it into a movie. Their Weibo post directly mentioned that they wanted Su Yao to play the leading female role.
Moreover, there were only two people in that interview, Su Yao and Wu Tian from Yuyan Entertainment.
Suddenly, Su Yao was once again at the center of the hot - search storm. Many people even speculated that Su Yao had hooked up with Wu Tian from Yuyan Entertainment.
Su Yao herself had no idea about this. It was Li Lin who called her and asked her to clarify the matter.
"Sis, please. Don't be impulsive. Whether you take it or not, at least give me an answer. Last time you had a falling - out with them over the contract. This time, make it clear whether you'll take it or not. Don't cause any more trouble."
"Take it. Why not? I'm going to see what kind of game Wu Tian is playing."
The crisp sound of chips could still be clearly heard on the phone. Li Lin was so angry that he scolded again, "Stop eating! But if you really want to give it a try, I'll help you inquire. There shouldn't be any major problems."
After hanging up the phone, Su Yao ignored the advice and continued eating chips while scrolling through Weibo.
"Yuyan Entertainment is interested in Su Yao"
This topic directly dominated the Weibo headlines and was even bought as a hot - search item.
Su Yao was quite happy about this. Wasn't this like a timely help? It would make her popular again.
Great, it's okay. No problem. It's just a movie. She'd shoot it. Since they had made such a big investment, she should also respond.
Su Yao clicked on the Weibo post from Yuyan Entertainment and immediately retweeted it with the caption: Thank you for your favor. I'll work hard!
This further solidified the speculation that she had an affair with the high - level of Yuyan Entertainment.
On the other hand, Pei Yan was looking at the insulting remarks about Su Yao. He immediately asked someone to remove those headlines. However, it seemed that someone was going against him. As soon as one was removed, a new one appeared.
The assistant had never seen Chu Chao (It might be a mistake here, should be Pei Yan) showing such a blood - thirsty smile. He kept staring at the computer screen, constantly using his connections to top the headlines, repeating this many times.
Finally, Su Yao received an invitation for the audition. The other side said they were interested in having her play the leading female role. The invited director was Jiang He, the most impartial director in the industry, and there was also a part of the audition script.
Just as Su Yao finished packing and was about to go downstairs, she heard someone calling her.
"Sis Yao, over here!" Li Yin ran towards her with an umbrella in her hand.
"What are you doing? So delicate, even using an umbrella. Where's Li Lin?"
"No. This is for you. It's just for show. We can't let others look down on you. Other female celebrities all have their assistants hold umbrellas for them."
"..." Su Yao suddenly didn't know what to say. She understood that it must have been Li Lin's instruction.
There were a lot of reporters waiting downstairs of the Yuyan Entertainment building, eager to know the final result of the audition. Su Yao had been in the entertainment industry for many years but had never seen such a grand occasion.
Su Yao thought it wasn't a big deal, so she came in shorts and a shirt without any special dressing. Now sitting in the car, she suddenly didn't dare to get out.
"Sis Yao, aren't you getting out of the car?" Li Yin asked from the driver's seat.
"Sure, I'm getting out. Wait a minute. Let me tidy up."
After saying that, Su Yao unbuttoned half of her shirt, leaving only the middle two buttons. She tied the bottom of the shirt around her slender waist, exposing half of her shoulders.
She was wearing flip - flops. Su Yao directly crawled from the front seat to the back seat. She remembered that she had put a pair of high - heels in the back before. It took her a while to get out of the car.
When she opened the car door, she also untied the hair tie.
The flashlights went off almost simultaneously. Su Yao maintained her usual smile, as if she had become someone else at that moment. Who would have known about the fuss she had made in the car just now?
Another car parked beside them. A sweet girl in a white tulle dress got out of the car and bowed to her.
"Hello, senior!"
"Wu Shanshan? Is that you?"
The girl was pleasantly surprised that Su Yao had called out her name. She showed a very charming smile. "I'm so happy that you remember my name, senior."
"Are you also here for the audition?"
"Yes!" The girl nodded. "Don't worry, senior. I'm here for the second - female role!"
The girl said it casually, but Su Yao took it to heart. The surrounding reporters also heard it. Su Yao subconsciously frowned and sized up Wu Shanshan in front of her.
Unexpectedly, Wu Shanshan quickly apologized. At first, Su Yao thought Wu Shanshan wasn't doing it on purpose, but now it seemed that she was deliberately trying to smear her and gain some popularity by stepping on her.
"Don't. You didn't do anything wrong. Why are you apologizing?" With that, Su Yao directly put her arm around Wu Shanshan's shoulder. Since she was a bit taller, it didn't look too awkward. They walked in together like this.
"Senior..."
"Hmm? What's wrong? I think you're very good - looking. You're my type. Come on, let's go in together."
Maybe Wu Shanshan didn't expect Su Yao not to care about anything. Now it seemed that she had shot herself in the foot.
