Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 707: I am Daoist Qingfeng
Chapter 707: Chapter 707: I am Daoist Qingfeng
Su Yinwan hadn’t finished her dessert but, feeling agitated, had settled the bill and left the sweet shop when she bumped into someone.
The person’s strength was surprisingly great, and her hat was knocked to the ground in an instant.
Su Yinwan couldn’t hold back anymore and directly scolded the person.
"What’s the matter with you?! Don’t you watch where you’re going?"
The person apologized profusely and picked up her hat for her.
But when he looked up at her, he froze.
Su Yinwan thought he had recognized her, so she quickly snatched her hat back and put it on.
"What are you doing? I’m telling you, don’t spout nonsense online; you clearly bumped into me first."
The man smiled, "Miss, don’t be nervous, I mean no harm. It was indeed my fault. I was staring at you just now because your facial features are quite extraordinary."
"What?"
"Your parents’ palace is sunken, suggesting early loss of family, but your career palace and fortune are much better than most, even carrying the mark of Ziwei in your fate, indicating notable achievements and a good reputation."
Su Yinwan listened to his mystical babbling and knew this man was probably a charlatan.
She hated charlatans the most.
That Jiang Li was always using this kind of stuff to hoodwink people!
Wanting nothing to do with him, Su Yinwan turned to leave.
However, the man’s voice rang out behind her.
"Miss, although you carry the mark of Ziwei, you’re facing sudden misfortune, especially in terms of financial assets—there’s a significant deficit. If not handled well, it might spell irreparable disaster!"
The weight of those words, combined with his earnest tone, made Su Yinwan’s heart skip a beat. She stopped and turned around.
"How do you know?"
The man smiled, "I am Daoist Qingfeng, recently returned from my travels. By chance, I understand something of the Xuan Sect’s fate reading and took the liberty of glimpsing at your facial features."
Su Yinwan was taken aback.
Was this man really so skilled?
Just by looking at her face, he had detailed her experiences and current plight?
Even her fans didn’t know she was in such a dire situation.
Since he seemed even more capable than Jiang Li, perhaps he could indeed help her.
With this thought, Su Yinwan stepped forward, and in the light of the streetlamp, she finally saw the man’s features clearly.
He was tall and unusually thin, but his face was glowing with health, and his eyes were vibrant.
Although most of his beard and hair were white, his back was straight and tall.
He was wrapped in a light grey Daoist robe and had a jade hairpin tucked into his hair, clean-cut and hearty, not at all like the swindlers seen on TV.
Half believing and half doubting, Su Yinwan spoke up, "Can you help me, then?"
Daoist Qingfeng laughed and stroked his beard, "This poor Daoist isn’t without skills."
Su Yinwan’s expression changed slightly, "But as you know, I’ve been unlucky recently and don’t have much money. Don’t think you can scam money out of me."
The man laughed louder, "I always act on cause and effect, not for money. If I can help the Miss out of her difficulties, I won’t take a cent."
Su Yinwan was stunned.
There was such a good deal?
Since she was already at her wit’s end, why not give it a try?
Upstairs, Shang Shaojing had witnessed the entire scene from a distance.
He couldn’t make out the faces of the people below but could vaguely see that Su Yinwan seemed to be conversing with a man and appeared to be in a good mood.
Wasn’t she out meeting with the client? Why is she here?
Shang Shaojing clenched his fist, once again feeling let down by Su Yinwan.
...
...
After Bai Lu’s issue was resolved, the entire cast of "Doomsday Beehive" was basically in place.
Before long, a group photo of all the main actors was posted on Weibo, instantly sparking a heated debate.
[How come all the actors have unheard-of names? Could this be a flop?]
[I heard they sunk billions into it, so it shouldn’t be a flop, right?]
[The lead actress looks familiar. Isn’t this Bai Lu who was on ’Wilderness Survival’? Why did she change her name?]
[Right, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed. That look is stunning; I didn’t even recognize my favorite.]
[Ahhhh Bai Ying sister is so cool, it’s her first movie, I have to support!]
Wu Daoshan was so angry he almost exploded when he saw the trending topics.
Days had passed, and his face still ached with a fiery pain.
Gossip about him was rife throughout the company, about how he was ungrateful that day, how he was tormented by the Crown Prince of the Gu Family.
He was so embarrassed he hadn’t dared to show his face for several days.
But Bai Lu had it good, she clung onto a powerful leg, then kicked him aside as soon as she got the chance.
Wu Daoshan just couldn’t swallow this humiliation; he spent hundreds of thousands to buy a whole lot of negative press releases about Bai Lu.
And he even leaked the news about her contract termination with Chen’an.
He claimed she showed no gratitude for Chen’an’s support, that after paying a breach of contract fee of two hundred thousand, she just brushed it off and walked away.
For a time, netizens who were unaware of the situation criticized her.
[How could Bai Lu do this? At least Chen’an raised her; to terminate the contract just because she’s gotten famous?]
[Her agent is really pitiable, negotiated so many roles for her, and now she decides she doesn’t want to act anymore.]
[It turns out the entertainment industry is all just facades. I was just about to become her fan, but what an ingrate, unfollowed.]
But Bai Lu wasn’t someone to mess with.
Having been warned by Jiang Li about the possibility of Wu Daoshan targeting her, she immediately issued her own clarifying Weibo post, listing all of Wu Daoshan’s wrongdoings, each backed by evidence.
At the end of the Weibo post, she also included Wu Daoshan’s recording and her contract termination with Chen’an which was done through legitimate channels.
In the last part of her post, she specifically mentioned Jiang Li.
".....If it weren’t for Lili encouraging me to fight for my rights and helping me successfully terminate my contract with Chen’an, I might still be living in darkness for decades to come. Other than my parents, she’s the person I’m most grateful to in this world. All the evidence is here, everyone please judge for yourselves. Also, please give my new movie plenty of attention." freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Her decisive proof immediately changed the direction of public opinion online.
[I can’t believe it, Chen’an is so shady??? A breach of contract fee of billions? That’s outrageous.]
[Oh my god, my sister is also with Chen’an; I wondered why she seemed poorer than me, now I know the company was exploiting her like this.]
[Wu Daoshan is too cunning, don’t you remember XXX was once driven to depression by him.]
[I’m so disgusted, feel sorry for Bai Lu—oh no, it’s Bai Ying now, thankfully she’s escaped from this misery.]
[I always wondered why Bai Ying sister, with her great acting skills, never had the resources.]
[Wuwuwu, I saw Lili’s name, Lili is truly everyone’s little angel.]
Whether there were people deliberately behind this or not,
Bai Lu’s post hung on the trending searches for four days straight; her followers grew to over eight million, leading to an online movement to boycott malicious talent agencies.
A large number of artists spoke out wanting to end their contracts with Chen’an, causing an utter upheaval in the agency.
