My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 368: The Female Lead is Someone Else

"Miss Yuran, I won’t discuss this matter with you, I have evidence, I want an off-the-court settlement, and my conditions are as stated.

If we can’t agree, I won’t withdraw the lawsuit," he said.

Yuran was amused, took the paper conditions in front of Qi Younian, scanned it quickly, and laughed.

"Miss Fu, there’s something I’m curious about, may I ask?"

Unaware, Fu Bairan just nodded, "Go ahead."

Yuran, "Your skin is so thick, who gave you that face?"

After a moment of grave silence, bursts of laughter erupted.

The studio personnel couldn’t restrain their mockery at all.

No, they were simply too entertained by our boss Yuran’s soul.

Speaking could anger people to death, not to mention make them utterly embarrassed.

"You..." Fu Bairan never thought she’d be humiliated like this, her face turned ashen, shaking in anger.

Yuran controlled her expression, looked at the cynically furious Bairan with raised eyebrows, "Miss Fu, don’t be dissatisfied.

Looking at the conditions you presented to us, whichever way we choose, we’d be at a loss, why would we accept such an unreasonable deal?

You expect either compensation with twenty high-quality movie scripts over three years;

Or a billion in compensation, have you no shame or limits?

Moreover, the method of withdrawal involves damaging your own reputation, telling the public you were dating our fresh meat, Lu Xiao;

Due to conflicts, you engaged in this extreme behavior. Frankly, you’ve always been inseparable from Yinran Entertainment’s boss, Bai Yinran,

Do you think the audience are fools? They’d react exactly as you’ve scripted?

You think too highly of yourself!

Moreover, have you even calculated your own worth with these compensation terms? Are you worth that much?

If we talk about acting skills, embarrassing; if about looks, too replaceable; and if about background, do you have any?

So where does this over-the-top confidence of yours come from? Teach me; I’ll learn."

Yuran spoke without any hesitation, dissecting Fu Bairan’s shamelessness to the core, making Bai Ran’s already pale face turn even whiter.

"Wow... I never knew our boss Yuran was so formidable."

The studio staff huddled together, chatting nonstop.

"It’s not just that, I think what boss Yuran said makes a lot of sense."

"I didn’t say it didn’t make sense either, just that I didn’t realize such a cheerful boss Yuran could be so fierce."

"Was it wrong though? Fu Bairan is originally shameless. Acting skills, does she have them? Looks, our boss Yuran is streets ahead of her, background, don’t we all know?"

"Alright, alright, no more comparisons."

"Exactly, our boss Yuran completely won, let’s keep watching, I think boss Yuran isn’t done yet."

Sure enough, after a brief shock, the opposing lawyer regained composure and looked at Yuran impassively, "Miss Yuran, I hope you speak more courteously to my client."

Yuran, "Sorry, first let me ask, which word, which sentence, offended your client, please explain in detail.

I’m illiterate, I don’t understand the law."

"I’m illiterate, I don’t understand the law," she said arrogantly.

Qi Younian felt that he had known Yuran for so many years and still didn’t understand her, or rather, the changed her.

Kang Zhenyu, as a master of articulation, was also shocked to find out that a beautiful girl could be so fierce.

Impressive, truly deserving of being the face of the studio.

Qi Younian, who had been on the verge of exploding with anger, was now completely calm after hearing Yuran’s words; the opposing lawyer was utterly dumbfounded.

Fu Bairan suddenly stood up; she could no longer endure the humiliation in this place.

She slammed her hand on the table, "Since you are unable to discuss this here and don’t want to settle privately, I’ll wait for you to come begging for help."

The lawyer hurriedly followed as Fu Bairan left.

Yuran glanced at the time and stood up as well; with the people he disliked gone, the air seemed much fresher.

"Brother Kang, it’s almost time, let’s head to the police station."

"Okay, I’ll put something away, and then we can go."

"President Yuran, you were so cool just now, I didn’t see that little white lotus’s face, it was truly spectacular. When she left, tsk tsk..."

The studio employees gathered around, lavishing praise. Yuran waved his hand, "Enough, stop praising me, I’ll become arrogant."

Employee, "President Yuran, you deserve to be even more proud."

Yuran: "...Are all of you brown-nosers?"

The employees unanimously replied, "Of course, exclusively for President Yuran."

Yuran: "..."

...

Just one night had passed, and Lu Xiao looked significantly more haggard. Seeing Kang Zhenyu and Yuran, his eyes brightened considerably.

"Brother Kang, President Yuran."

"Sit down and speak." Yuran walked over and sat opposite him, immediately asking, "Lu Xiao, tell us the details of what happened."

"A trap." Lu Xiao looked at Yuran without hiding anything. "President Yuran, I won’t lie to you, I did sleep with someone, but that person was not Fu Bairan."

Kang Zhenyu looked at Lu Xiao in surprise,"Why are you so sure?"

"Brother Kang." Lu Xiao looked at Kang Zhenyu, "I don’t know who that girl was, but that night, I wasn’t completely out of it. I walked into a trap, and it was my own fault.

Brother Kang, President Yuran, I want to ask you both a favor. Please find that girl; this is what she left behind."

As he spoke, Lu Xiao spread open his palm to reveal a small daisy earring, looking very delicate.

Yuran took it, "You mean, someone else set you up using her."

Lu Xiao nodded, "Finding this person might make a lot of things easier, President Yuran, I’m sorry."

"You indeed made a mistake, but it’s not surprising that you fell into the trap they’ve been setting for so long. After all, it’s hard to avoid a well-designed trap.

Rest assured, I’ve noted this. Before they formally sue you, you shouldn’t leave your house; Brother Kang will arrange a quiet place for you to rest.

Take a short vacation, it’s okay."

Lu Xiao wanted to express his thanks, but he couldn’t find the words. His former employer had maligned him after the incident, and Fu Bairan’s team still wanted to negotiate terms.

Thus, the formal lawsuit had not yet been submitted to the court, and they had not received any summons.

"Show You the World" might also face the risks of compensation and recasting due to this incident.

All these pros and cons were laid out before Lu Xiao, who felt apologetic, "President Yuran, I’m sorry, I’ve only signed with you recently and have already caused you trouble."

Whether he could turn the situation around was yet to be seen; he just felt he owed Yuran.

The trust Yuran had in him initially was now equal to the guilt he felt.

Yuran could somewhat guess the disappointment in Lu Xiao’s heart and didn’t offer too much comfort, only saying, "There’s no hurdle too big to step over, don’t overthink it. We are here, and so are you."
