Chapter 726: Hitting a Person Who Is Down

Zhao Hongling stared at the public announcement with a throbbing headache.

It took less than half an hour for the announcement to hit the top trending spot. The hashtags included ‘Lin Yan’s show’, ‘Lin Yan bought votes’, and ‘Lin Yan being disqualified’.

Lin Yan was once again flooded by criticism.

Zhao Hongling hung on to a last glimmer of hope as she tried to continue negotiating with an advertiser.

Lin Yan had been working very hard recently. Zhao Hongling had just managed to clinch a pet product advertisement for her, and they were about to sign the contract. Unfortunately, this had just happened. She was afraid now…

Zhao Hongling dialed a number. “Hello, Director Sun.”

“Hi, Manager Zhao. What is the matter?”

“It’s nothing urgent. I just wanted to ask about the exact date of the contract signing. Lin Yan’s schedule is packed this month, so I wanted to plan ahead,” Zhao Hongling said politely.

The advertiser’s eager, friendly attitude changed. “Oh, that… There is no hurry…”

Meanwhile, Lin Yan received a message from Ling Yue. ‘Sister Yan, the pet product advertisement that your manager clinched for you has gone to Victory Entertainment.’

Ling Yue was working for Pei Yucheng, so she didn’t want to trouble her too much. Thus, Ling Yue’s job was merely to update Lin Yan about some information.

Lin Yan was aware of Ling Yue’s sources and capability, so she knew that this news was credible.

Zhao Hongling asked once more and the other party began to get irritated. He then scornfully replied, “Why are you so anxious? We are a major company, so there is a stringent process of selecting artists. How can this be rushed? Hold on and wait! If you can’t, then find another company!”

Then, he hung up rudely.

“F*ck! This person is so nasty! Just days ago, he was calling Sister Yan politely about signing the contract! He even said that Lin Pianruo and Yeva were his goddesses!” Duoduo was fuming.

After Lin Yan had acted in Meeting One’s Match, she had signed a contract with Summit Entertainment and it had been confirmed that she would be participating in the production of Legend. Thus, many advertisers had come knocking on their door.

It had never occurred to them that the other party would turn hostile at the mention of a scandal.

“I’ll try to contact him again,” Zhao Hongling said gravely.

Lin Yan glanced at Zhao Hongling and said, “Sister Ling, you can drop the idea. They have signed with an artist from Victory Entertainment.”

“What? How do you know?” Zhao Hongling was taken aback.

Lin Yan hadn’t had the chance to inform Zhao Hongling about Ling Yue. She coughed gently and said, “A friend of mine found out from a source. Her source should be trustworthy.”

Zhao Hongling got over her shock quickly as realization hit her.

The other party was too much. Since they had found a replacement, they should have informed her instead of concealing the truth. Were they trying to keep them in suspense, or were they messing with them?

This pet product advertisement was just the beginning… She was afraid that many future collaborations would be affected…

…

Meanwhile, in a quiet courtyard in the capital city…

Cheng Min removed her shoes and went inside. An old lady was sitting on a rattan chair in the living room, knitting a red sweater.

“Mom!”

“You’re back? The chicken soup is ready. Go and drink some. You have to take care of your health. You shouldn’t work so hard.” The old lady nagged quietly.
