"No, it's just that every time you two stand together, the people around feel like they're in a dog - slaughtering yard."
Especially Shen Siyan. His eyes seemed to be glued to Shi Wan all the time, not even willing to look away for a moment. He helped her with everything, completely treating her like a child, afraid that something might go wrong.
Shi Wan curled her lips. "Sure."
But if he insisted on going with her, it had nothing to do with her.
Getting the satisfactory answer, Er Lan turned around and walked out of the office.
Shi Wan turned on her computer. The latest news about Su Zhou and her plagiarism was flooded with scolding comments.
She was just about to issue a statement when she suddenly found that she couldn't log in to her account. Then, someone used her account to post a statement accusing her of leading Su Zhou to plagiarize.
Shi Wan curled her lips with interest, propping her chin. Was Senyue Entertainment looking for trouble?
They even resorted to stealing her account.
It seemed that she had to go to this banquet.
After the statement was issued, the number of scolding comments increased by thousands.
Wordsmith Time: "Emmm... It's all over for her this time. There's no way back. The person involved has even come out and said it herself."
Free Time: "Where are those who used to believe in Shi Wan? I just want to know if their faces hurt?"
Silly Kid: "Well, I thought Blossom Entertainment would do things properly. Even if it was a bit slow, it didn't matter. Who would have thought that it would suddenly become popular, directly climbing up with the reputation of plagiarism. What a ruthless person!"
Heard the Flowers Bloom: "How can a plagiarist be worthy? Poor... I don't know if it's my husband or wife whose work was plagiarized. She really thought that just because she had some ability, she could plagiarize at will? Did she really think no one knew and no one dared to expose her? Well, we won't let it go. My husband/wife is just that tough!"
At Senyue Entertainment, Mu Xin was currently in the technical department, keeping an eye on things. Seeing that everyone was scolding Shi Wan, she finally felt a bit comforted.
"Keep hiring internet trolls. Also, hurry up and try to contact L. Even if you can't get in touch, don't return the account. Do you understand?"
"But... won't there be any problems with L? After all, she's not in our company and we can't control her."
"That's not your concern."
Mu Xin gave the man in front of her a cold look.
"Yes."
She just needed to make sure that Shi Wan couldn't turn things around this time.
Let her go back to her own circle properly. Did she think the entertainment industry was a place she could just come and go as she pleased?
And for tonight's banquet... Shi Wan, don't let everyone down.
...
In the evening, after sending a message to Shen Siyan, Shi Wan took Er Lan to the banquet. Who would have thought that as soon as they got out of the car, they saw another car parking beside them. Moreover, this car looked very familiar.
Shi Wan raised her eyebrows and watched as the man got out of the car calmly, walked over, opened her car door, and stretched out his hand.
"What? Don't recognize me?"
Shi Wan curled her lips. "How could I?"
Er Lan's face looked a bit off. Without even looking at the two of them, she walked in.
"You've offended someone this time."
"Did I offend you?"
"No."
Shen Siyan was fearless. "As long as it's not you, it doesn't matter."
Shi Wan: "..."
Arrogant, but he really had the ability.
"This is an entertainment - industry matter. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you guys, does it?"
Shen Siyan pinched her little hand and smiled. "Can we be considered as investors?"
Moreover, Mu Xin had also invited him.
Just as the two were about to walk in, they saw Mu Xin sweetly holding onto Shen Mingshang's arm. The two looked very intimate.
"Hasn't he caused any trouble recently?"
"No."
Recently, he was probably too busy with his own affairs to have the time to cause trouble. The only trouble might be Mu Xin.
"Boss Shi is here." Mu Xin glanced at the man beside her. She panicked for a moment but then pretended to be calm. "Mr. Shen."
Who invited Shen Siyan here?
Wasn't this out of her plan?
"Please come in, both of you."
Shen Siyan led the way in. Mu Xin's eyes were full of malice.
"Are you worried?" Shen Mingshang's voice was still gentle. "If you're worried, we can cancel tonight's plan."
"No!" Mu Xin flat - out refused. "This is the best opportunity. As long as her reputation is ruined, nothing else matters. Isn't it easier for us to deal with her then?"
Shen Mingshang smiled and twirled her long hair in his hand. "Thank you."
"We don't need to be so polite with each other."
Shen Siyan led Shi Wan in. Their looks and status were both high. Coupled with the recent events, as soon as they walked in, they became the focus of everyone's attention.
People started whispering.
However, the two of them acted as if they didn't see anything and walked over on their own, waiting for the banquet to start.
Not long after Shen Siyan arrived, he was called away by someone, but his gaze still didn't leave Shi Wan, making sure that she was always within his sight.
Er Lan walked over with a glass of wine in her hand and said coldly, "I knew this would happen."
"Is it that serious?"
Shi Wan didn't care. There was a casual smile on her lips.
"Otherwise?" She sneered, with a bit of tenderness in her eyes. "Whenever the two of you get close, it's like pink bubbles are floating around. Who wouldn't say it's a dog - slaughtering scene?"
"Are you one of them?"
Er Lan glanced at her but didn't say a word. She finished the wine in her glass in one gulp.
"Drink less. You'll still have things to do later."
"Yes."
Seeing Er Lan beside Shi Wan, Shen Siyan let out a sigh of relief.
The banquet continued, and so did Mu Xin's plan.
Suddenly, all the lights in the venue went out. Everyone knew that the highlight of the banquet was about to start.
However, when the lights came back on, what was shown on the screen were some online news about Senyue Entertainment and Blossom Entertainment.
A glint of interest flashed across Shi Wan's eyes. Was this all?
She thought they were going to do something more.
"Boss, Mu Xin's purpose is too obvious. Everyone knows this is specifically aimed at you."
"I know. Didn't we know this a long time ago?" Shi Wan simply sat down, ignoring the strange looks from the people around. "Mu Xin's holding this banquet so that everyone will know. By doing this, she's also telling everyone that Senyue Entertainment and Blossom Entertainment are irreconcilable. If anyone helps Blossom Entertainment, they'll be going against Senyue Entertainment."
"Isn't she just asking for trouble?"
Er Lan wasn't worried about Shi Wan's ability to handle the situation at all. Besides, all of Mu Xin's plans for tonight were within their expectations.
The only difference was a matter of time.
"Why did she come? This is just asking for humiliation." Someone whispered.
"She just took over the entertainment - industry business, right? It's normal for her not to know these things."
"I don't think she's that smart. Otherwise, how could she not see these things and even commit plagiarism? The things I saw online look exactly the same."
"The styles are the same. One is a big shot, the other is a plagiarist."
"..."
The people standing beside Shen Siyan didn't dare to say a word even though they knew what was going on. They secretly glanced at the big shot, trying to figure out the situation.
However, they couldn't tell anything from the big shot's expression, and they didn't know what to do.
