Stand-in Exit, Tycoon Boss Anxious Crazy

Xiang-Nuan arrived at the photo studio right on the half-hour mark, making it just in time.

As soon as she got there, she was whisked away into the makeup room to get ready. Zheng Xuanlin, surprisingly, didn't scold her and was even pleasant.

"White Poplar premiered yesterday and the response was fantastic! It hit the top three trending topics last night and the viewership numbers were impressive. I never expected this web series to do so well right from the start. The buzz is high, and it's only going to get better. Nuan-Nuan, we need to seize this opportunity. Who knows, we might even climb higher!"

Only then did Xiang-Nuan have the chance to check her phone and search for White Poplar on Instagram. The buzz was indeed high.

She felt much relieved and smiled, knowing that while Shen Yanshi's affection might be false, the money she earned was real.

"The production team contacted me this morning, asking if we want to stir up a coupling with the male lead. Nowadays, if a show's coupling catches on, the buzz can multiply, attracting even more fans. Xia Zehua has already agreed, it's up to us now."

Xiang-Nuan frowned slightly: "But Yanshi might not be happy about it."

Their relationship was known to only a few in the entertainment circle, and they had never let any hint of it slip to the public. People in the circle also kept it under wraps.

More importantly, Xiang-Nuan was well-behaved; she wouldn't use her relationship with Yanshi to gain attention.

She played the role of Yanshi's sunflower, her heart and eyes full of him alone. How could she pretend to be affectionate with another man off-screen? That would be a slap in Yanshi's face.

Moreover, once they started promoting the coupling, her every move would be scrutinized, inevitably leading to Yanshi being caught by the paparazzi.

Her obedience was what pleased Yanshi the most. If she caused him trouble, he would discard her immediately.

This low-profile and noble young master would never allow himself to be featured in entertainment news with a minor star.

"Hey, can you talk to President Shen about it? Maybe he'll agree?

Nuan-Nuan, opportunities like this don't come by often. A coupling can only be hyped if the show itself is already popular. With White Poplar's current momentum, once we start promoting the coupling, I guarantee that for the next two months, no other female star will surpass your popularity. You'll solidify your position as the leading lady among the new generation of female stars!"

Xiang-Nuan bit her lip: "I'll think about it."

After her makeup was done, Xiang-Nuan walked to the studio, only to find that someone else had taken over her slot.

"Oh, Xiang-Nuan, you're shooting here too? What a coincidence, you'll have to wait."

Zhuang Linna flicked her wavy brown hair and strutted on her sky-high heels, chin lifted as if to look down on her.

Xiang-Nuan's face was expressionless: "Is it a coincidence, or should you wait? This time slot is reserved for my shoot."

"Sorry, sorry!" A magazine staff member hurried over to apologize to Xiang-Nuan: "Miss Linna had some issues with her last shoot, so she came to reshoot today. This was the only time available. Miss Xiang-Nuan, could you wait a bit?"

"Who reserved this shooting time first, me or her?"

The staff member whispered: "You, Miss Xiang-Nuan."@@novelbin@@

"Then why are you telling me this?"

The staff member looked embarrassed, caught between a rock and a hard place, and could only show a troubled expression.

Zhuang Linna scoffed: "Xiang-Nuan, what are you putting on airs for? Do you really think you're going to be Mrs. Shen? After warming his bed for two years, you've forgotten who you are. Instead of posturing, you should think about how you'll live after you're kicked to the curb."

"What do you mean?"

"You don't know?" Zhuang Linna triumphantly lifted her phone, showing Xiang-Nuan a photo with a mocking smile: "Exclusive news, President Shen's first love is back in the country, and they're inseparable."

Xiang-Nuan stared at the phone screen, where the two people in the photo were just leaving a hotel, with Yanshi personally holding an umbrella for the woman beside him.

To think that someone as distinguished as Yanshi could be so considerate to a woman.
