Soft and kind laughter came from the crowd. Someone loudly asked, “Director

Yun, can you tell us who the new female lead is?”

Yun Nan smiled—this time, her smile was sincere—and replied, “Discovering her is a pleasant surprise for us. Learning from our mistakes, we’ve decided to keep a low profile this time; that’ll also create a sense of mystery for everyone. Apologies, but we won’t disclose any more information about this movie to the public. After all, there have been many twists and turns in the process of filming this movie.”

“Director Yun, I heard you defected from the Yun Corporation; they hold you accountable for their losses, and you will face huge compensation costs. Is that true, or is there some misunderstanding?” someone inquired politely.

Yun Nan courteously nodded at the person who posed the question. “I appreciate your concern, but I don’t want to engage in another pointless argument on the subject. I saw many similar comments about this on the Internet, so I’ll leave it to my lawyer to deal with the Yun Corporation. I, too, wish to hear what the Yun Corporation’s CEO—Mr. Yun Zhang—has to say about this.”

A question then came from the crowd. “I heard you, Mr. Yun Zhang and Miss

Yun Liu are siblings?!”

Yun Nan brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and commented, “I wonder, do the people who said I betrayed the Yun Corporation and the Yun family are seeking compensation from me know about our relationship? So, why don’t you ask Mr. Yun Zhang and Miss Yun Liu this question first?”

“What about you? What do you think?” That person doggedly asked.

Yun Nan paused for thought before answering, “I am indeed the Yun family’s biological daughter. I went missing when I was a kid and was already an adult capable of living independently when I returned to them. Therefore, the Yun family and I are blood-related, but my work and career have nothing to do with them. As for those who say I’d betrayed my previous company and defected, I’ll make every effort to hold them accountable for their slander. All I’m saying is, you may accuse me of incapability, but you can’t slander me like this.” Yun Nan didn’t show the Yun family in a negative light—she admits she couldn’t bring herself to distort the truth like Yun Liu.

Fang Xi came out with some staff to pick Yun Nan up. Seeing the flock of reporters surrounding Yun Nan, she smiled and remarked, “Hey, are you holding a press conference here of all places? Yun Nan, this won’t do! No matter how the media pictures us—positive or negative—we still have to treat them with courtesy. We would seem petty otherwise. Isn’t that right, guys?”

Fang Xi had always been media savvy. Her arrival greatly reduced Yun Nan’s pressure. She livened up the crowd’s atmosphere with just a few sentences and led them elsewhere, allowing Yun Nan to extricate herself.

However, the media reporters failed to get any information from Fang Xi. Fang Xi’s oratory and deflection skills were much better compared to Yun Nan’s. Not only were they unable to get any information, but Fang Xi also gave them backhanded compliments in a way they couldn’t find fault with.

Miss Ding gritted her teeth as she watched the live broadcast. “This Fang Xi is so annoying!” Likewise, Yun Liu didn’t expect the scheme she had planned so well to be this easily resolved by them.

“Miss Ding, get someone to write about what happened today! Make sure it’s unflattering. We can’t let the public believe and side with them. Go all out and vilify her!” Yun Liu lightly uttered those vicious words, and Miss Ding nodded vigorously.

“Find out who the substitute lead actress is immediately and get rid of her with the same method we used last time! I can’t let Yun Nan film this movie! Miss Ding, spread the word that there’s no future in being her lead actress!” Yun Liu stated with a smile as she thought, ‘Yun Nan, you naive woman. Since the hardships oflife haven’t taught you to be obedient, I’ll give you a revision and make sure the lesson sticks!

However, Yun Liu had counted her chickens before they hatched. Yun Nan and Fang Xi reacted quickly, and the production team of ‘4:30 P.M.’ walled off all outsiders amid the Internet’s rampant discussions. All their whereabouts were kept confidential, and they didn’t accept any form of interview. The people Miss Ding sent were rebuffed and resentfully returned.

Yun Liu frowned at the news, and Miss Ding hurriedly reassured her, “It’s not a big deal. I think it’s a good thing they isolated themselves. I would be slightly worried if they took advantage of their current popularity and stirred up some hype. After all, negative publicity is still publicity. I didn’t expect them to be so pathetic that they wouldn’t even know how to use such a good opportunity. Don’t worry, Yun Liu. Getting rid of them will be a piece of cake, so let’s take things slow.”

“I want Yun Nan’s movie to fail!” Yun Liu firmly declared. “Even if she managed to complete the filming, I don’t want that movie to make it to the screens! In short, I want her to lose everything!”

“Don’t worry! She will!” Miss Ding uttered confidently..
