The sudden deletion of the post and the blocking of the poster’s account triggered the keyboard warriors on Weibo. They attacked Lin Nuan with all kinds of nasty words.
Was it Fu Huai’an?
The name flashed through her head before she quickly denied it.
Even Lin Nuan knew that deleting the post was a foolish move in that situation—it would push her to the edge. Fu Huai’an was too smart and experienced not to be aware of that.
“I didn’t ask someone to delete the post…” Lin Nuan placed the laptop back on her desk and said, “I’m not stupid enough to do something like that in the height of the rumors.”
Miss Xia let out her temper. But looking into Lin Nuan’s clear eyes, she didn’t seem like someone who would do something foolish like that. She irritatedly put out her cigarette in the ashtray and said, “Let’s go to the station executor’s office!”
It wasn’t Miss Xia’s fault for getting angry—the station executive intended to call Lin Nuan over to discuss matters regarding the Weibo incident. After all, the viewership rate was consistently high since the “A Sunday Date” had broadcasted.
The following episodes were interviews on the popular international star Su Manman and Shi Hanchu. According to the television station’s norms, once something like that happened, it was expected to change the host.
It was tough to even book those two stars in the first place; it would be impossible to record the shows twice. Haicheng’s television station would have to give up the profits those two would reel in and naturally thought of ways to calm the issue.
Yet once the post got deleted, there was nothing left for anybody to do. Miss Xia received a call from the director within five minutes of Lin Nuan entering the building, saying that they were considering dropping Lin Nuan from the show.
Miss Xia let out her temper since she was frustrated at how Lin Nuan ruined her potential development by her stupidity and hastiness.
She decided to help LIn Nuan one last time after hearing her explain.
…
By the time Lin Nuan and Miss Xia entered the building, Chu Xun had just ended her call with Su Manman.
Chu Xun already decided to give up on Lin Nuan; hence, she decided to invite Su Manman on the show using their relations. Even if Su Manman didn’t have the time to come on the show, she could let their host approach Su Manman’s shooting scene and record the show once she had time.
Su Manman turned down the idea before Chu Xun even finished talking.
“Chu Xun, let me make it clear: The reason we can even be interacting is because of my brother Fu Huai’an. I’m going on this show, not because of you, but since my brother likes Lin Nuan! Do you seriously think I would backstab LIn Nuan at a time like this?”
Su Manman spoke politely enough, but Chu Xun understood what she was trying to say.
The Fu Family had been rooted in Haicheng for hundreds of years—only a couple of Chu Families combined could be considered slightly on par with the Fu Family. Su Manman had the “right” to be snotty since she was the cherished daughter of the Fu Family.
If it wasn’t for Fu Huai’an, Su Manman wouldn’t even pick up Chu Xun’s call; just like how she wouldn’t interact with the stars who had lower status in her circle.
Chu Xun wasn’t surprised to hear what Su Manman had said. The only thing she said that shocked her to her core was that her brother liked Lin Nuan.
She put down her phone and leaned on the office table. Watching the pouring rain, she irritatedly whipped out a lady’s cigarette and placed it in her mouth. Before she could light it up, someone knocked on her door.
Chu Xun moved the cigarette from her mouth and said, “Come in!”
It was the first time Chu Xun and Lin Nuan interacted face-to-face with one another.
