Chapter 30
Thirty minutes later, Yao Bianliang arrived at the recording studio door.
After knocking and entering, she was greeted by a small room. Two sofas were placed by the window, with two cups of tea on the coffee table.
Seeing Yao Bianliang enter, the director who had been sitting on the sofa stood up, displaying a smile: "Xiao Yao, you're here? Please, sit down."
Yao Bianliang's gaze toward the director was less than friendly.
He was another incompetent teammate!

Suppressing her so heavily, yet ending up being counterproductive. Then, after the incident, stupidly choosing to interrupt the livestream, making the situation even worse.
If the director hadn't said on the phone that he wanted to discuss follow-up matters with her, she wouldn't have bothered coming to the studio.

Yao Bianliang sat on the sofa: "Director, there's no need for us to beat around the bush. Just say what you need to say."
The director's smile froze slightly, then quickly returned to normal: "Xiao Yao, Wei Yan targeting you during the program was indeed wrong on his part. We've now made him apologize and terminated our contract with him. So, you see..."
He paused, giving a dry laugh: "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, why don't you also issue a statement on Weibo and explain to the public?"
Yao Bianliang immediately understood.

The production team wanted to put this matter behind them, and having her—the person involved—speak out was the best option.
As long as she expressed forgiveness for the production team's mistake and helped suppress the heat, this incident would be much easier to resolve.
However, after her experiences during this period, Yao Bianliang had no positive feelings whatsoever toward this production team.
The financiers, director, judges, contestants—all were in collusion. Among them all, not a single person was focused on creating quality work; everyone was studying how to gain attention, how to get traffic, how to make money.

If it were just that, it might be tolerable.
What was more outrageous was that the voting segment had no fairness whatsoever. The number of votes entirely depended on the whims of the financiers, and everyone had to follow the script exactly for recording.

It was simply a program combining fraud, pyramid schemes, and unspoken rules all in one.
Putting aside the fact that under the host guidelines' restrictions, the system would never agree to her speaking on behalf of the production team; even without the system's rules, Yao Bianliang didn't want to collude with these people—it was too repulsive.
She couldn't help but laugh: "I'm sorry, Director, but I don't think this is a misunderstanding."
This was clearly a refusal.
The director frowned slightly, about to say something when a soft "click" sounded, followed by footsteps from behind.
Someone had walked over from the back rest room.

His brows carried a hint of ferocity, his voice like ice that wouldn't melt in a thousand years: "So you're refusing to cooperate with the production team's work?"
The director was startled: "Young Master Lu, why did you come out?"
Hmm... Young Master Lu?
Hearing the director's form of address, Yao Bianliang raised her head to meet the man's cold gaze, and her mouth twitched.
In the novel, there should only be one person who could be called Young Master Lu.
The great Young Master Lu, Yao Xinxin's suitor, worth several hundred billion.
Е̄ ň um̈а
Yao Bianliang looked at the expressionless man before her, who carried an air of cold authority, and fell silent.
Well, the case was solved.

The genius who ruined her plan was Lu Yanchen!
What, just because Yao Xinxin's character setting is a beautiful fool, your character setting has become a foolish tycoon too?
Is your IQ of over 200 no longer working?
While Yao Bianliang was questioning her existence, Lu Yanchen's voice continued: "Yao Bianliang, if you cooperate, we naturally won't continue targeting you during the finals. However..."
Ѐ n ú_m̂ ã . і d
He paused, the threat quite obvious: "If you choose to stubbornly resist, I don't mind letting you taste what it's like to be blacklisted."
Lu Yanchen originally hadn't wanted to waste words with Yao Bianliang.
But this matter had escalated somewhat, and since it involved Yao Xinxin, Lu Yanchen had to consider the negative impact behind it all.
After brief consideration, he decided to first stabilize Yao Bianliang. After the variety show ended, it wouldn't be too late to blacklist her.

Yao Bianliang: "......"
Yao Bianliang finally understood the chain of causation.
Ê n̆u m а. і ď
Yao Xinxin detested her deeply, and Lu Yanchen, as her admirer, naturally wanted to clear obstacles for her.
Young Master Lu was eager to protect his wife, so he arranged for the production team to target her, bought off all the judges, all to avenge Yao Xinxin.
Yao Bianliang looked at Lu Yanchen, saying wearily: "So, the reason all those judges joined forces to target me, the reason my microphone malfunctioned, was all because of you?"
"That's right," Lu Yanchen, completely failing to grasp Yao Bianliang's dejected mood, said condescendingly, "You were lucky this time, escaping by the skin of your teeth. But if there's a next time, you won't be so fortunate."
Heh, lucky?
He was the one who ruined things, yet now he blamed her for being lucky.

Yao Bianliang gritted her teeth while forcing a smile: "Young Master Lu, that's not the right way to look at it."
"You have great wealth and power, overwhelming influence—targeting a minor celebrity like me should be extremely easy."
"But now, you've bought off all the judges, manipulated this competition, even arranged internet trolls to guide public opinion. With such a grand operation, you didn't cool me down but instead made me explosively popular."
"Faced with this situation, instead of reflecting on your own problems, you push all the reasons onto me, thinking it's my good luck that caused this?"
Yao Bianliang paused, genuinely perplexed: "What exactly are you doing? You've played a good hand terribly, yet you're not even slightly panicked. If you don't need your brain, you can donate it to those in need—no need to waste it."
Lu Yanchen: "......"

Lu Yanchen hadn't anticipated this reaction from Yao Bianliang at all, and his expression momentarily froze.
The director standing nearby drew in a sharp breath, his face shocked as he slowly took a step back.

Had he heard correctly? This woman actually dared to directly confront Young Master Lu?
And her reason for scolding Young Master Lu was that his actions hadn't succeeded...
What kind of bizarre reasoning was this!
For a moment, the director doubted whether he was fully awake.
Ē ṅ.uma
As Lu Yanchen gradually came to his senses, his expression became extremely unpleasant, and he laughed coldly in extreme anger: "So you're saying this is my fault?"
"Naturally it's your fault," Yao Bianliang said. "Just look at what stupid things you've done."
"To suppress me, you made sure I didn't get a single vote, but it backfired and triggered public opinion backlash; moreover, after Mu Taozhi's questioning, you directly interrupted the livestream, causing public opinion to completely explode!"
"This kind of operation couldn't be done without a decade of cerebral thrombosis."

Seeing Lu Yanchen's increasingly ugly expression, Yao Bianliang took a deep breath, trying to soften her tone.
"Of course, you needn't be too discouraged. One failure isn't terrifying; what's terrifying is failing to learn from it and stumbling in the same place next time."

"It's never too late to mend the fold after the sheep are lost. If you blacklist me now, there's still time."
Lu Yanchen: "......"
His fists clenched.
Lu Yanchen finally understood why Yao Xinxin so deeply detested Yao Bianliang.
This person appeared ordinary, but once she started her passive-aggressive attitude, she could make someone break down in minutes.
"Fine, very good," Lu Yanchen's voice grew colder. "Since you insist on asking for trouble, I won't stop you."

When his Lu Group wanted to blacklist a minor celebrity, they had never failed. He really didn't know where Yao Bianliang got the courage to repeatedly provoke him.
Hearing this, Yao Bianliang frowned slightly.
Asking for trouble? Listen to that arrogant, self-confident tone.
With such an attitude, no wonder this operation had failed.
Yao Bianliang couldn't help saying: "Young Master Lu, as the saying goes, even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit. If you're so careless and underestimate your opponent, what will you do if you not only fail to successfully blacklist me but also end up slipping in the gutter yourself?"
"I know Young Master Lu has a group backing him. But capital isn't omnipotent—don't rely on money and power without fear, thinking you're the emperor of the entire entertainment industry and everyone will submit to your manipulation."
Ė n ūḿа
"Not just you, even the capital behind you has weaknesses and can be affected by public opinion, even causing stock prices to plummet and bankruptcy!"
Listening to Yao Bianliang's words, Lu Yanchen felt amused but also angry at being defied.

What did she mean? Was she, as an individual, declaring war on the Lu Group?
She even dared to say the entire group could potentially be overthrown. Lu Yanchen truly didn't know where Yao Bianliang's confidence came from.
A minor celebrity without power or influence dared to display such a provocative attitude before him, as if certain he couldn't do anything to her.
Heh, slipping in the gutter?

Since his birth, he had never experienced such a failure.
Lu Yanchen took a deep breath and sneered: "Stop dreaming, Yao Bianliang. The situation you described will never happen."
When Yao Bianliang left the room, it was already late.
She looked at the darkening sky outside and sighed dejectedly.

Without a doubt, this Lu Yanchen was an incompetent teammate, and one who would likely cause her trouble.
Based on his actions these past few days, he would likely suppress and blacklist her, yet through his operations end up making her more popular instead.

If left unchecked, sooner or later a major problem would arise, and by then she wouldn't even be able to cry.
Of course, from another perspective, with Lu Yanchen's great wealth and power, he could be a major help to her cooling down mission.
As she walked, Yao Bianliang seriously pondered her next plan.
This Lu Yanchen, if utilized properly, could be a decent tool.
Her phone vibrated gently several times. Yao Bianliang slowed her pace slightly and opened the chat window.
While talking with Lu Yanchen, she hadn't noticed anyone trying to reach her. Now, opening her phone, she discovered many unread messages.

Among them, Director Hua had sent the most messages, a full 20 or more.
The earliest messages were sent in the afternoon, similar in content to others—Director Hua congratulated her, condemned the despicable actions of the production team and Wei Yan, and inquired about her current situation.
However, when Yao Bianliang scrolled down to see Director Hua's latest message sent ten minutes ago, she froze in place.
[Director Hua: Liangliang, have you seen the long posts Mu Taozhi and He Yanning made on Weibo?]
[Director Hua: I swear to you, about you secretly helping them improve their acting skills—I really didn't leak a word to them, truly!]
Director Hua's message wasn't long. She recognized each word, but combined together, she couldn't understand what they meant.
Еň.ü m̌ a
A question mark slowly formed above Yao Bianliang's head.
Huh?
