Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: None are Normal

Exiting the cottage, Director Sun picked up the phone.

Before he could even greet the caller, Su Yinwan’s anxious voice rushed through from the other side, “Director Sun, have you seen the trending search on Weibo? The news about me being a surprise guest has leaked. What do we do now? Our whole plan is in disarray, fans are pressing me for answers, I couldn’t take it; I even replied to a comment. How could this have happened?”

The preemptive concerns from the other side caught Director Sun by surprise.

Wasn’t it Su Yinwan’s team who did it?

After a pause, he sighed, “This was indeed unexpected, we were just holding an emergency meeting, but I can assure you, it definitely wasn’t leaked by anyone from our side.”

“Could it be from our side then?” Su Yinwan’s voice tightened, “But it shouldn’t be, I only brought my manager and assistant when we signed the contract, they wouldn’t speak of it, so who could it be?”

With her having said that much, Director Sun didn’t feel it was right to inquire further.

He could only offer a few words of comfort to Su Yinwan and stated that they would handle the matter.

After hanging up, Director Sun stood still, his brow furrowed, feeling something was off, and then he made another call to Mr. Shen.

“Mr. Shen, have you seen what’s happening on Weibo?”

Mr. Shen responded indistinctly with a “Hmm,” “Just now, He Wen came to talk to me about it. Have you contacted Chen’an about it?”

Thus, Director Sun recounted his recent conversation with Su Yinwan.

Inside the office, Mr. Shen also furrowed her brows, and after a long moment, she finally spoke up.

“It’s not a big issue fortunately. These baseless speculations are merely adding to your workload. Now that it’s been exposed, I’ll have the media team prepare to announce it officially. It’s only a loss in some planned popularity; just focus on your shooting. That’s the priority.”

“Understood, Mr. Shen.”

“And, by the way,” Mr. Shen’s fingertips lightly tapped on the desk, “nothing unusual happened on your side today, right?”

Director Sun shook his head, “Everything is normal, the guests are currently gathering at the village chief’s house.”

Mr. Shen breathed out a sigh of relief, “That’s good. Let’s leave it at that for now, I still have some issues to handle. Call me if anything comes up.”

“Sure.”

After hanging up, Mr. Shen didn’t look relieved but rather, appeared thoroughly worn out as she pinched the bridge of her nose.

Then she looked at the termination contract on her desk, her headache intensifying.

Du Qinglian was now completely unyielding and had said she would bring He Yun back first thing in the morning.

What should she do?

Was giving up the only option?

However, just as she was at her wit’s end, Jiang Li’s face suddenly flashed in her mind.

Thinking of her recent changes and performances, Mr. Shen was suddenly energized.

Perhaps this girl had a solution?

After all, she had been the one to proactively message that there might be problems with He Yun.

Having run out of strategies, why not treat a dead horse as if it were still alive before the results came in?

–

Chixia Village.

Just as Jiang Li put down her chopsticks, she received the call from Mr. Shen.

This call was completely expected, so when she moved away from the crowd to a secluded place and picked up, the first words she said were—

“Has He Yun’s mother been causing trouble for you?”

Shen Lan was shocked.

Even people in the industry rarely knew that He Yun’s agent was actually his birth mother. How did Jiang Li know this since he had never been exposed to these things before?

But that wasn’t all.

How did she know about Du Qinglian forcing them to sign termination contracts?

Shen Lan was so caught off guard that she forgot what she wanted to say.

It was Jiang Li who spoke and explained.

“Second Aunt, when I first met He Yun, I observed his facial features. His Yintang was cloudy, and the palace representing his parents was collapsed—clearly one parent passed away early while the other was dominant, heavily restricting his fate. If he cannot break free from these bindings, he will be trapped for life and succumb to misfortune.”

“Just yesterday, I also divined his fortune and predicted this accident, which is why I notified you ahead of time, Second Aunt.”

Shen Lan was even more stunned.

After a long pause, she slowly spoke, “So, Jiang Li, is everything they say on the internet true? You actually know how to tell fortune?”

Jiang Li coughed and fabricated a serious excuse, “I studied this subject when I had nothing else to do. I can indeed do a bit of divination.”

Shen Lan found it both novel and shocking, but now was not the time for such discussions, so she quickly got back to the point.

“Do you have any way to stop it?”

Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, “Second Aunt, do you know why He Yun’s mother is so eager to take him back?”

Shen Lan nodded her head, “According to Du Qinglian, she doesn’t think highly of our little variety show and doesn’t want to ruin He Yun’s public image, to prevent future roles from being restricted.

But I had someone investigate further. Director Zhang Cheng has been selecting the male lead for his new movie, and the official audition is tomorrow. Du Qinglian had submitted He Yun’s information earlier, and Zhang seemed quite satisfied, asking him to come audition. But since He Yun is over here and can’t get away, Director Zhang is a bit unhappy. Another actor, competing for the role, is actively pursuing it. Du Qinglian probably fears losing the opportunity, which is why she is so rushed.”

Jiang Li was silent for a while.

“What kind of person is this Director Zhang Cheng?”

Shen Lan didn’t expect Jiang Li to suddenly ask this and thought for a bit, “This Director Zhang is indeed a capable and famous director. Earlier, the international federation of filmmakers announced the national list of outstanding directors, and in Hua Country, only Director Zhang made the list. One can say that as long as he films Zhang’s movie and takes the lead role, his future in film can definitely be described as ‘meteoric rise.'”

“But capable people often have distinct personalities, and Director Zhang is no exception. He has a strange temperament, and he’s very demanding of his actors. I’ve interacted with him once…”

Here, Shen Lan paused, “I’ve previously taken an artist to star in his movie, so we’ve had some contact, and I can say he’s not an easy person to get along with.”

“So that means, Second Aunt, you have his contact information, right?”

“I do.”

“Then send a copy to me.”

Shen Lan was even more surprised, “What do you want his contact for?”

Jiang Li smiled, “Second Aunt, don’t you want He Yun to stay here? How can we let Director Zhang dismiss the idea of collaborating with He Yun?”

Shen Lan thought Jiang Li was insane.

Just a phone call could change Director Zhang’s mind?

Impossible!

Given the other party’s character, he might hang up the phone as soon as Jiang Li introduced himself, let alone discuss anything else.

But she ended up sending Director Zhang’s phone number anyway.

After all, calling Jiang Li had already proven she herself wasn’t thinking straight.

Two irrational people might indeed be able to turn the tide.
