Chapter 80 Honey and Poison
Chapter 80 Honey and Poison
How could I possibly refuse a toast from Ye'er?
"Don't worry, I'll get you what you want."
"But perhaps we could drink this glass of wine in a different way?"
Zhang Baowang's eyes gleamed with desire, and his words, though sweet as honey, were actually poison, which Bai Ye'er swallowed with relish.
Bai Ye'er's eyes darted around, and she instantly understood Zhang Baowang's intention. She parted her red lips slightly, took a sip of red wine, and then slowly leaned closer to Zhang Baowang, feeding him the wine.
Tong Shicheng and the others at the table were already used to this, and they cheered and toasted each other, making the atmosphere in the private room even more lively.
"Jiang Songchu, do you think you can easily take my role away? I, Bai Ye'er, am not someone to be trifled with!"
Bai Ye'er sneered inwardly. She felt that she had already obtained Zhang Baorong's promise, so the role of Chi Jiangli was as easy as a piece of cake.
She knew all too well that this war without gunfire had only just begun, and she was willing to pay any price for victory, even sacrificing her innocence and morality.
At the Rhine Villa, Jiang Songchu sat quietly at the table, reading the contents of an email, her eyes revealing a calmness beyond her years.
She sent the evidence she had to Chen Yun. Although she knew Chen Yun's capabilities well, since she already had the evidence, sending it directly to Chen Yun would undoubtedly save her a lot of effort.
Sure enough, Chen Yun was instantly energized upon receiving Jiang Songchu's message, and her original plan to stay up all night collecting evidence was immediately cancelled.
She instructed the public relations team not to pay attention to the online turmoil, since the paparazzi had not yet presented conclusive evidence, the female lead's role was still undetermined, and the final outcome remained uncertain.
Now that she has the evidence in hand, she can calmly deal with whatever the other party does and control the overall situation.
Chen Yun immediately announced that everyone was off work, and they all happily went home. Chen Yun planned to personally go to Jiang Songchu the next day to find out what was going on.
At the same time, Tong Shicheng also received news that Chen Yun was no longer collecting evidence and did not intend to fight back against online public opinion.
He was already flushed from drinking, and he chuckled to himself, secretly pleased with himself.
He had anticipated that Chen Yun would be unable to respond to or retaliate against this topic, especially with Zhang Baorong stirring things up behind the scenes. They were certain of victory this time.
Silent all night.
The following afternoon, the sunlight, like gentle silk, softly spilled into every corner of the Rhine Villa, draping the mansion in a golden veil.
Chen Yun, dressed in a well-tailored business suit, wearing simple and stylish high heels, and carrying an exquisite handbag full of work documents, appeared on time in front of the gate of Rhine Villa.
Jiang Songchu had been waiting in the lobby for a long time. She was wearing a light yellow shirt with dark trousers, simple yet elegant.
Her long hair was casually tied into a low ponytail, revealing her smooth forehead and delicate features.
Upon seeing Chen Yun's arrival, she greeted her with a smile. After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, the two walked together towards the resting area in the garden.
In the garden, all kinds of flowers are vying for beauty, and a gentle breeze brings the fragrance of flowers and grass, making people feel relaxed and happy.
An elegant round table and several rattan chairs were placed quietly on the lush green lawn.
After the two sat down, Jiang Songchu personally poured Chen Yun a cup of fragrant tea. The aroma of the tea rose gently, adding a touch of elegance and tranquility to the peaceful afternoon.
“Songchu, I’ve come to see you today to have a brief chat about what you said yesterday. It’s not convenient to ask too many questions over the phone, so I had to come in person,” Chen Yun said, her tone gentle and friendly.
Jiang Songchu gently stirred the tea leaves in her teacup, her eyes showing a hint of composure. She slowly said, "Actually, it's nothing big. I just happened to reach a cooperation agreement. So, Tianrong's cultural tourism personnel may directly connect you with my work in the entertainment industry."
Chen Yun gently put down her warm teacup, her expression becoming focused. She asked seriously, "Oh? Is that so? Then, could you tell me specifically what project it is? What preparations do I need to make in advance?"
Although she was filled with curiosity, she maintained a calm expression, her tone gentle while her heart was churning like a stormy sea.
Jiang Songchu sighed softly, her tone tinged with apology: "I can't reveal too much about the specifics right now."
She paused for a moment, her expression one of helplessness, as if searching for the right words.
"But you can rest assured that this cooperation is a rare opportunity for both of us, with huge potential benefits behind it."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yun was slightly startled, but considering the deep relationship between Jiang Songchu and the Xie family, she nodded in understanding.
She knew that in this circle, some things needed to be kept secret and not easily revealed. She had long since learned to figure out and understand those unspoken messages on her own.
Therefore, she didn't ask Jiang Songchu where he got the evidence, but silently kept Jiang Songchu's words in mind and decided to make thorough preparations for the work ahead.
Changing the subject, Chen Yun brought up yesterday's media storm.
"Songchu, I don't think we need to deal with the public opinion surrounding the audition too much for the time being."
"After all, we haven't defined our roles yet, so any response we give might seem superfluous."
She paused, her voice calm, "However, I will arrange for some online trolls to respond specifically to those misled and maliciously slanderous comments."
"Now that we have the evidence, we will deal with the situation based on the actual circumstances once the female lead is identified."
"In addition, I dug deeper into Wen Keling and Bai Ye'er's actions this time, and I actually found quite a bit of dirt on them."
"This evidence is enough to severely damage their public image."
Chen Yun's voice was calm, yet resounding.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Songchu, who had been leaning lazily against the back of his chair, leaned forward slightly, and a sharp glint flashed in his deep eyes.
She spoke slowly, a hint of amusement in her voice: "Sister Yun, you've always been prudent in your actions, so I trust you. But how do you plan to carry out this counterattack?"
Chen Yun smiled slightly, a smile that showed both her happiness at Jiang Songchu's trust and her confidence in her own plans.
"Songchu, don't worry, I will do it at my own pace."
"This counterattack is not only to let them know that we are not lambs to be slaughtered, but also to let everyone see that if we are slapped once, we will slap them back twice!"
"The bureau will carefully plan for them, and I will ensure that every step is both steady and precise, so that they cannot extricate themselves from the vortex of public opinion."
