Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Self-directed and self-acted, with high finesse!
Seeing the news on the internet, both Xu Jiayang and Xia Weibao who were in the recording studio getting ready for their final recording session were bewildered.
The news was aggressive but also inexplicable.
Xia Weibao’s eyes narrowed slightly, “When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong!”
With her years of experience in court intrigues, she was certain there was a problem with this situation!
Xu Jiayang immediately called Lin Siqian, wanting to get to the bottom of it.
However, before he could make the call, Lin Siqian’s agent Liu Xing came out to refute the rumors.
He stood in front of the camera, answering the reporters’ questions calmly, “Regarding the rumors on the internet about Siqian offering to sing for ‘Allure’s theme song as a favor, let me explain.
Previously, Director Xu did indeed contact our Siqian, hoping she would sing, but because Siqian has been particularly busy recently, not only does she have to prepare for a national tour, but she’s also vigorously gearing up for ‘Heavenly Voice,’ sleeping only one hour a day.
Siqian really wanted to help, after all, Director Xu had helped her before, and one has to be grateful. However, it’s a case of the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
So, in the end, she did not agree.
As for why such rumors would spread on the internet, we are not clear about that.”
Once Liu Xing’s explanation was out, everyone was confused.
What was going on? If Lin Siqian had not agreed to sing, then why would such a rumor have spread?
And to cause such an uproar at that.
Xu Jiayang’s face darkened; having been targeted himself in the past, he knew all too well that the rapid development of this event was likely backed by a marketing team.
But who was behind it?
Lin Siqian?
And what was her purpose?
To release such news and then step out to clarify without causing any impact—wasn’t this a futile effort?
“Director Xu, you’re in trouble,” Xia Weibao said on the side, munching on snacks and taking pleasure in Xu’s misfortune.
As experienced as she was, she saw right through Lin Siqian’s scheme.
Then she suddenly thought of something, her expression changed, “I’m in trouble too!”
If Xu Jiayang was targeted, she could not escape either!
She quickly took out her phone and dialed Third Chicken.
“Third Chicken, find out immediately who posted the thread on the internet, I need the precise ID, and quickly!”
“Boss, why are you looking into that? Is it urgent? I’m still playing a game.”
“What game? Battle royale or MOBA? Forget it, spit! Forget games, are you out of your mind? Your boss is about to be slandered again! Hurry up!”
“Oh, okay okay, boss, blow me a kiss first.”
Xia Weibao, “…”
I’ll blow you a big fat nothing!
Just then, new developments broke on the internet suggesting that this morning’s news had been released by Xu Jiayang himself!
Xia Weibao’s face turned pale; this was bad!
She was one step too late!
Seeing the latest updates on the internet, Xu Jiayang also figured out what Lin Siqian was up to.
His expression was somber.
He truly hadn’t expected Lin Siqian to be so ruthless!
He had no feud with her—on the contrary, he had done her favors. Even if she couldn’t help, was it necessary to drive him into a corner?
Clearly, Lin Siqian intended to knock them down with a single blow, not giving them any chance to catch their breath.
As the issue broke, her personal assistant suddenly appeared before the cameras, decrying Xu Jiayang’s “misdeeds.”
She looked incredibly wronged, “Director Xu went too far. He came to us before, asking Siqian for help with singing the theme song for ‘Allure’ and even demanded Siqian to help with the promotion. Siqian really had no time, so she kindly declined.
To our surprise, Director Xu turned hostile on the spot, brought up past favors, saying Siqian owed her fame to him, and now she should help him out. He even threatened Siqian, stating if she didn’t oblige, he would tarnish her reputation and call her ungrateful.
Siqian was in a difficult position. Of course, she would help if she could, but she truly had no time; should she be denied even the last hour of sleep?
Eventually, they parted on bad terms, with Director Xu hurling insults as he left, calling her ungrateful and a white-eyed wolf.
Siqian was reduced to tears.
We thought that was the end of it, but unexpectedly, Director Xu announced it unilaterally, as if he had made a preemptive move.
He is clearly forcing our Siqian to submit!
Wanting to ride on Siqian’s fame for his own publicity.
How could he do this, completely ignoring Siqian’s situation—is he trying to work her to death?
I truly feel for our Siqian!”
