The Dazzling Princess in Modern Times

Chapter 22: The Hottest Gossip

Ruan Yingyu, who had just come out after changing clothes, happened to see the moment Xia Wanyuan's veil fell. The perfect moment of shame, joy, and panic hurt him like a knife pierced his eyes.

Seeing the director praising him repeatedly and the other crew exclaiming in admiration, Ruan Yingyu clenched her fists under her long arms, with jealousy flashing across her eyes.

How did this happen?

How could Xia Wanyuan's acting ability be so good?!

“Xiao Zhang, come here.” Ruan Yingyu called her manager and whispered into her ear.

......................

In Beijing.

Xia Yu, who had gotten used to sleeping late at night and waking up in the afternoon, was woken up at eight in the morning.

With panda eyes, he had breakfast with Xiao Bao and Jun Shiling. He was so sleepy that his eyelids twitched, but he did not dare to play any tricks in front of Jun Shiling.

After asking the driver to send Xiao Bao to kindergarten, Jun Shiling looked at Xia Yu coldly.

“Cute with me.”

“Hah?! Oh.”

Xia Yu followed Jun Shiling with her heart pounding. He even had trouble breathing.

‘I should not be fooled by the sweet words of that woman! Huu hu! Someone save me! That person was as terrifying as the King of Hell!’

Although Xia Yu looked calm on the outside, she was actually bitter on the inside.

Like that, Xia Yu followed Jun Shiling all the way to the Jun Corporation. The efficiency of the staff and the atmosphere of the company are in line with the high standards of the company.

Seeing how the company operated in an orderly manner and how employees respected Jun Shiling from the bottom of their hearts, Xia Yu looked at Jun Shiling in awe. This person did not look much older than him, yet he could control such a large company.

In front of an iron-handed person like Jun Shiling, for the first time, Young Master Xia felt like he was still a child. He felt a little lost.

“Lady.”

Lin Jing was already waiting outside the CEO's office on the 100th floor.

“Okay, let's finish the proposal we didn't finish last night.”

Jun Shiling stopped his steps and looked at Xia Yu. “Arrange a chair for him in the finance department.”

As the leader of the Jun Corporation and the one with the highest power, he was meticulous in separating the public interest from the private and only appointing talents based on their achievements. This was also the reason why Jun Corporation was getting stronger.

This was the first time he had planted a connection in the company. Lin Jing looked at Xia Yu's denim jacket and torn pants, as well as her plain eyes. He raised his eyebrows. This Xia Yu did not seem to be a reliable person.

However, Special Assistant Lin was indeed a special assistant. He only took 0.01 seconds to react and brought Xia Yu to the finance department with his usual facial expression.

“My name is Lin Jing, my special assistant is here. What's your name, Sir?” Lin Jing revealed a standard but warm and friendly smile.

“Halo, hello. My name is Xia Yu.” Xia Yu was still processing the fact that she was about to enter the Jun Firms financial department.

‘What happened? Why am I working here? This shouldn't be. I don't know anything about finances!’

A strange look flashed across Lin Jing's eyes. ‘Xia Yu? As in Xia Wanyuan's younger brother?’

“So that's Miss Xia.”'s sister Lin Jing pushed her gold-framed glasses. He immediately understood something.

It was rare for the brainless Xia Yu to notice what Lin Jing had said to Xia Wanyuan.

‘She didn't even call her as Madam, it seems like Xia Wanyuan's status is really sad.’

“Let me ask you something.” Xia Yu leaned towards Lin Jing and lowered her voice.

“What is it?”

“Does Xia Wanyuan owe Jun Shiling a lot? Does he want me to help pay him back by working for him?"

Lin Jing expected some situations, including how Xia Yu could ask more about Jun Corporation, how could she try to approach him, special assistant, and how could he try to find out more about Jun Shiling's secret. However, he never expected this question.

“Ha, you must be kidding, Mr. Xia.” Lin Jing's eyes were filled with sincere entertainment.

“Since Miss Xia entrusts you to Young Master, she must have her own considerations since she arranged for you to be assigned to the finance department.”

After leading Xia Yu to the entrance of the financial department, Lin Jing left. Soon after, he sent a message to the manager of the financial department and instructed her to arrange a simple job for Xia Yu. He also wanted her to keep Xia Yu's background a secret.

When Lin Jing returned, she reported Xia Yu's situation to Jun Shiling and received a nod of approval in return. Aside from being able to deal with Jun Shiling's matter to the best of his ability, the reason Lin Jing could be Jun Firms special assistant was also because she could read between the lines.

People in the finance department, who are engrossed in their work, are called upon by the leader to welcome a very handsome 'connection' who wears fashionable clothes from head to toe.

Since they did not know how 'connected' this person was and no one knew what was going on, they treated Xia Yu politely and distanced themselves from her.

Although puzzled, Xia Yu worked as instructed for the entire day.

......................

Meanwhile on Weibo, a marketing account with millions of fans received news from an anonymous sub-account.

Almost instantly, he quickly wrote a post and posted it on Weibo. Soon, the trending topic of “the lifeless gaze Xia Wanyuan” gradually rose to the top of the search rankings.

Netizens browse through trending search listings as usual and quickly search for them. Name “Xia Wanyuan” interests everyone. After all, no matter where he was, there would be gossip involved.

As expected, the trending topic did not disappoint anyone. A marketing account named “The Husky In The Industry” posted a series of pictures.

In the picture, the film crew staff is adjusting the machine diligently while other actors are reading the script. Instead, Xia Wanyuan seemed to be staring at the camera in a daze. There are more than a dozen images and from all different angles. His dull eyes made the fans of the novel and passersby angry.

[As expected, what kind of acting skill is that? Just look at how he looks into space. What's he doing?]

[AHHHHHHHHH!! Give me back my beautiful Heavenly Spirit Princess!! The princess is not blind! I'm so upset!]

[How can such a person be in the entertainment industry? Capitalism really gives a person the opportunity to do whatever they want.]

[Junk, looking at her worsted eyes that were so dull, I won't watch this drama no matter how pretty her face is! I would be a dog if I contributed to the viewership ratings of such trash!]

A large crowd of novel fans, passers-by who just wanted to watch the fun, and fans of other celebrities whose resources were snatched away by Xia Wanyuan instantly gathered and shared photos. This trending topic very quickly rose to the second position on the trending list.

[Thinking of a gentle person like Xiao Ruan acting with such a person makes my heart ache.]

[When Mom is rich, I have to invest in Xiao Ruan to make a film that she likes and does not submit to capitalism!]

......................

Paired with those comments, there were many beautiful and edited photos of Ruan Yuying. In the photos, she looked gentle, calm and friendly, which was a stark contrast to Xia Wanyuan's dull and lifeless expression.

In an instant, Xia Wanyuan gained a lot of anti-fans, while Ruan Yingyu gained a lot of fans.

“See, this must have been leaked by the crew. Maybe Ruan Yingyu asked someone to divulge it!”

Ever since he witnessed the scene Xia Wanyuan filmed in the afternoon, Chen Yun finally saw some hope for Xia Wanyuan. As long as her acting performance in the afternoon was not temporary and if she could maintain this standard in the future, Chen Yun could foresee that this drama would be Xia Wanyuan's comeback.

Xia Wanyuan was speechless as she looked at the photos on Weibo. He did see the equipment machine, but he was unconsciously daydreaming. Instead, he was really curious about how the cold black machine was recording images of characters.

Forgive him, this old antique, for his great curiosity.

“Huh, it's a pity that the company doesn't give us any PR charges. We can only let them do what they want.”

#PR (Public Relations) or often called Public Relations. Public relations in general is a company strategy to build good relations with the public in order to get a positive opinion from the surrounding community.

Public relations are very important in building a positive image or good view of society at large against the company concerned.

In this chapter is the cost of PR for Xia Wanyuan to be able to build an image in film production.

“It's okay.”

Public opinion has been and always will be the easiest to overthrow. At this moment, there were many people who wanted to get him out of the entertainment industry, but in the future, perhaps they would become his most fanatical fans.

“Do not put in the heart. It's late, so you should rest early and keep your condition tomorrow.” Chen Yun comforted Xia Wanyuan, afraid that he would be infuriated by the comments online.

What she was most worried about now was Xia Wanyuan's acting performance in the afternoon just a coincidence. He even guessed that Xia Wanyuan could only act well because she had a crush on Qin Wu. But looking at Xia Wanyuan's appearance, it didn't seem like it.

‘God bless him, allow Xia Wanyuan to be fully aware.’

Chen Yun prayed in his heart.

After Chen Yun left, Xia Wanyuan returned to her room. After she removed her makeup, she took a bath before lying down on the bed. Thinking that Xiao Bao should have been in bed by then, he found a black starry sky profile picture of his WeChat and pressed the video call button.

Jun Shiling had just finished his work for the day and returned to the manor. He massaged his temple tiredly, loosened his tie, and sat on the sofa.

“Young Master, I'll bring you a cup of coffee.” The grizzled Uncle Wang looked at Jun Shiling, whom he had seen growing up, with a hint of heartache.

“Not needed. Where's Jun Yin?”

“Small Master has already taken a shower and has just been taken to the bedroom.”

“OK, Uncle Wang, you should go and rest. You don't have to worry about me. ”

“Ya, Young Master.”

Uncle Wang had just turned around to take a step when he heard Jun Shiling's personal phone ringing.

Within a moment, Jun Shiling pressed the answer button and a clear voice of a woman sounded from the phone.

Uncle Wang turned around in shock. He forgot that Jun Shiling hated being spied on. When he met Jun Shiling's displeased gaze, he hurriedly turned around and walked away, but the shock in his heart did not subside for a long time.

When the video call connected, a face like a statue of Jun Shiling appeared on the screen. His handsome face caught Xia Wanyuan off guard and stunned her for a moment.

“Goodnight.”

Xia Wanyuan smiled politely at Jun Shiling. Her beautiful dimples cast a small shadow under the light, and her newly blown hair fell apart over her jade-white shoulders.

“Eh, Jun Yin is in the bedroom. I'll give her the phone. ” Jun Shiling without expression.

“Oke thank you. Xia Yu did not cause any problems, right?” Jun Shiling walked up with his phone, but the camera was still facing towards him.

Feeling a little awkward, Xia Wanyuan asked about Xia Yu's situation, although she felt that Xia Yu would not be able to make trouble under Jun Shiling's pressure.

“Everything has gone well.”

“Oh.”

Xia Wanyuan did not know what to say. The video went silent, except for the sound of Jun Shiling's sandals climbing the stairs.

“Dad!”

Xiao Bao was playing with the big white teddy bear he had just bought. When he saw Jun Shiling enter, his eyes curved. Compared to his previous fear, he was much closer to Jun Shiling now.

“Mm.” Jun Shiling's coldness disappeared as he handed the phone to Xiao Bao and pursed his lips.

“That's your mom.”
