The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot

Chapter 368: 352 Ying Zijin: You’re worthy for me to act? [2 updates]

Since the recording of the program was set to begin in the afternoon, all the contestants needed to finish their makeup in the morning, and they also needed to check into the sequestered training camp prepared by the program team.

Like “Youth 101”, during the selection period, contestants were not allowed to leave the training camp without permission, and they had to hand over all communication devices including mobile phones.

The emergency involving Ye Xi presented a thorny issue for the program’s director and producer.

She was the initiator of this male group and was also in charge of hosting the entire talent competition.

Moreover, to attract a large audience, as early as January 1st, the program team had announced that Ye Xi was the initiator for this male group.

Ye Xi’s fans were rejoicing below, and the program’s popularity had increased a great deal as a result.

The mentors had not been announced yet and could be replaced at the last minute, but what about the initiator of the male group?

Chen Li also hurried over from outside, her face somber, “Producer Li, we must investigate this matter thoroughly. We will not let Yun Heyue and her assistant off the hook.”

Producer Li was always aware of the underhanded tricks in the entertainment industry.

He had seen a lot and usually turned a blind eye.

After hearing the staff recount what had happened earlier, Producer Li couldn’t help but frown, “Is it necessary to go so far as to lay hands on a top influencer over a minor assistant? If this is really discovered, wouldn’t it be the end?”

Each top influencer has a fan base so huge it’s terrifying, something even seasoned artists can’t compare with.

Anyone with brains wouldn’t do such a thing.

“Why wouldn’t they go to such lengths?” Chen Li sneered sarcastically, “Some narrow-minded people want revenge, and took it out on our Xixi.”

Producer Li remembered the interview day incident, his face darkening, “Aren’t you the one who deliberately stirred up trouble in the first place?”

He had been scolded bloody by the sponsor because of it.

Chen Li did not expect Producer Li to openly disregard her face in front of so many people, her expression chilling: “Producer Li, this is a separate matter, clearly—”

“Why argue over nonsense?” the director had no choice but to interrupt their quarrel, “First, take Teacher Ye to the hospital discreetly, and we’ll discuss other matters later.”

He then addressed the staff, “And you, go check the surveillance to see exactly what happened in the makeup room.”

If Ye Xi’s skin allergic reaction was caught by the paparazzi, the internet would be in an uproar.

Even her competitors might spread rumors through marketing accounts that Ye Xi was disfigured or pregnant.

Chen Li was also acutely aware of this.

Right now, Ye Xi was the most important matter.

“Xixi, let’s go.” Chen Li said coldly, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you get justice.”

Ye Xi responded in a muffled tone and got onto the nanny van.

Elsewhere, at the Chuguang Media headquarters in the capital.

Yun Heyue followed Ying Zijin into the private elevator, unseen by other employees.

The private elevator went directly to the thirty-second floor, where the female secretary had been waiting.

She had been running errands for Ying Zijin from one side to the other, and had only recently moved from Shanghai City to the capital.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, the female secretary bowed, “Boss, everything you asked for has been prepared, and then—”

Looking up, she saw the boy following behind the girl, her shock greater than her surprise, and she took a big step back, “Boss, why did you bring my other son here?!”

“…”

Ying Zijin glanced at her and tossed the cellphone in his hand, “I’ll call Shang Yaozhi now.”

“No, no, that won’t do,” the female secretary said, clutching her chest, “I still love him the most, I only had a small slip recently, just a little one.”

Yun Heyue revealed a faint smile, pure and clear.

The female secretary’s maternal love overflowed uncontrollably; after escorting Yun Heyue to the makeup room with Ying Zijin, she asked, “Boss, are you going to sign him?”

Apart from Yu Xuesheng and Ying Zijin, no one knew that Yun Heyue was actually a girl.

The female secretary hadn’t realized it either.

Chuguang Media had also contacted Yun Heyue, wanting to sign her but was still rejected.

“No,” Ying Zijin replied indifferently, “No matter how good the terms of the contract are, it’s still a restraint. She doesn’t need that.”

The female secretary thought about it and understood.

The entertainment industry was a cesspool, and clean people like Yun Heyue were too rare.

“But we can open an independent studio for her,” said Ying Zijin, “Prepare for it after the competition is over.”

In this way, Yun Heyue could have a better development space.

Shang Yaozhi was a triple-threat star, but in reality, his singing skills were just mediocre.

Chuguang Media didn’t have many singers under its label, and Yun Heyue could just fill this gap.

“Boss,” the female secretary checked the information, and suddenly said, “Youth 202 just issued a notice that the competition is being postponed due to an emergency.”

As she read on, she exclaimed, “It’s an issue with Teacher Ye’s health, they’ve all gone to the hospital.”

At the news, Ying Zijin’s eyebrows twitched.

Her sense of smell was very sensitive, so as soon as she entered the makeup room, she detected a faint fragrance.

This fragrance came from a very ordinary herb, but when added to cosmetics, it would react with certain chemicals and cause allergies.

Even if the staff member didn’t urge Yun Heyue to leave, she would not have stayed any longer.

“I hope her face recovers quickly,” the female secretary said with her hands clasped together. “I pray our investment doesn’t go down the drain.”

Ye Xi was not an artist of Chuguang Media and often tied up with Shang Yaozhi. The female secretary had no fondness for her.

Ye Xi went to the hospital, and what the secretary was worried about was her boss’s money.

“This will give us plenty of time to get ready.” Ying Zijin pondered for a moment. “These couple of days, let’s have Heyue stay in my office and assign her several bodyguards.”

The CEO’s office came with an attached suite, rivaling a five-star hotel.

The female secretary nodded and went to make the arrangements.

Ye Xi indeed had an allergic reaction.

At first, it looked quite terrifying, but it got better the next day.

However, Ye Xi could not swallow this insult.

Since her rise to fame earlier in the year, she had always been respected. Who would dare to harm her now?

To her disappointment, neither the director nor Producer Li showed any intention of firing Yun Heyue.

Chen Li used her privileges to get Yun Heyue’s number and address from the program team at Skywalk Entertainment.

But the number was unreachable.

“It must be this Yun Heyue who instructed her assistant to do it,” Chen Li scoffed coldly. “When we were at the training camp, we couldn’t find her, and now she doesn’t answer her phone. Isn’t that the same as fleeing the crime scene?”

Ye Xi, with her eyes closed, looked fatigued and did not wish to speak.

Chen Li had the driver head straight to Yun Heyue’s home.

“This Yun Heyue is an orphan,” Chen Li checked the address, frowning. “I didn’t expect her to have money to live in such a place, no telling by what means she acquired it.”

The bachelor apartment Yu Xuesheng bought for Yun Heyue was far from the city center, located beyond the third ring road.

Even as a second-hand property, it would still cost upwards of six million yuan.

After all, Yun Heyue’s psychological state had issues and was different from healthy people, making the environment very important.

However, since yesterday, Yun Heyue had taken up residence in the Chuguang Media building, while Ying Zijin was now living in that bachelor apartment.

Some things could be deduced without the use of Divine Calculation; all it took was careful thought.

Chen Li was not one to let things go easily.

With Ye Xi as an excuse, she could directly take action against Yun Heyue.

That’s why Ying Zijin had Heyue stay in her office.

Of course, it would be best if Chen Li did not show up, saving her trouble.

Ying Zijin leaned on the couch, comfortably watching TV, when her leisure was interrupted by persistent knocking.

Tsk.

She still had to be bothered.

She lifted her eyelids, grabbed the mask from the table, and put it on.

Then she got up to open the door.

As expected, Chen Li and Ye Xi stood outside the door, flanked by seven or eight bodyguards.

“Just you here? Fine,” Chen Li looked at the girl coldly. “You tampered with my artist’s face, do you know how much insurance Xixi’s face has? Two hundred million!”

“You couldn’t afford the compensation even if you sold yourself!”

“How amusing,” Ying Zijin leaned against the door frame, her gaze shifting slightly to rest on Ye Xi’s face, seemingly amused. “Do you think you’re worthy of my interference?”

If she really wanted to poison Ye Xi, not only would no device be able to detect it, but she could also make Ye Xi silently vanish.

But she had retracted her hands for many years and was now a good doctor.

Ye Xi’s expression changed instantly.

In show business, she had crafted an image of a pure and ethereal fairy, which, having been established for a long time, could not be easily discarded.

She always refrained from getting angry with others, even with staff members.

But Ying Zijin’s words were a blatant insult.

A mere assistant, looking down on her?

Ye Xi’s body shook slightly, and her eyes reddened. She turned to Sister Li.

“What an arrogant statement, not seeing the coffin, not shedding tears? I advise you to know your place,” Chen Li was also quite angered. “You’re even wearing a mask in the room; can’t show your face? Take it off!”

With that, she reached out her hand.
