Chapter 49 Danger Lurks Again

"Yan Wen, the company has its policies. If every artist is like you, how can we manage?" Bai Shanshan retorted on purpose. "At most, if you oppose any actiVity, the company will respect your wishes. We can talk about the rest when we get back home."

Yan Wen hesitated for a while, looking from Bai Zhexuan to Jiang Lingyun, before she reluctantly nodded.

"One more thing, this is the last time I will be associated with Jiang Lingyun. After we return, I don't ever want to be in the same frame as her."

Yan Wen was not going to give them any opportunities to use her again.

Bai Shanshan leaned back and waved lazily. "Alright, I agree."

.....

Most people would try to rub off the popularity of the entertainment headliner, but why was Yan Wen so determined to stay away from Jiang Lingyun? Bai Shanshan watched Yan Wen leave and took a deep breath. "Zhexuan, keep an eye on her."

She had yet to see an artiste mount a successful comeback themselves. With just two people by her side, what could she do!

Sooner or later, Yan Wen was going to realıze how stupid her actions today were. When that happened, Jiang Lingyun would already be the most popular movie queen!

.....

Xia and Chen Yu were both in awe of Yan Wen's boldness.

Bai Shanshan's strategies were famous in the industry, but Yan Wen negotiated with her fearlessly and managed to come out with such special privileges.

Not only did she resolve the crisis of being threatened during overseas filming, but she had also won her right to make her own decisions.

Yan Wen kept her cool and did not embarrass them with her words, what she wanted was what was rightfully hers.

They signed a supplementary agreement in the meeting room. With many witnesses and the same legality as a contract, once she signed it, Yan Wen was now able to reject Grand Entertainment's arranged schedule and would never be used by Jiang Lingyun again.

This reality show was also the best opportunity for Yan Wen to prove herself. These few years of studying and working backstage added strength to her performance. Next to her, Jiang Lingyun would only serve as part of the background.

She would use her own ability to prove to everyone that even if she had been gone for a few years, her acting career was firmly in her own hands.

After Yan Wen explained what had happened to Jason, looked at her with more admiration.

"This industry needs more professional actors like you. I'm looking forward to working with you."

"Thank you, I'll do my best." Yan Wen understood what the industry was like, and did not mind that Jason had previously rejected her.

Before Bai Shanshan and the others could exit the meeting room, Yan Wen took Xia and Chen Yu with her and left.

From that day on, her relationship with Bai Zhexuan became frosty. As she thought about how angry they were, a message came in from Bai Zhexuan.

"This is the last message I send to you. I am very disappointed. You are no longer the pure and friendly Yan Wen I knew. If you hurt Lingyun again, I will not let you off."

Yan Wen did not bother to reply, deleting the message and putting the phone aside.

Xia made eye contact with Chen Yu and clapped her hands. "Yan Wen, we're so in awe of you!"

"How did you maintain your clear reasoning? If it was me, I would have made Jiang Lingyun admit that the video was fake. But you didn't..." Chen Yu said with emotion.

She had seen too many impulsive stars before. Under such circumstances, Yan Wen's choices were very wise. Retaining the opportunity to film while compromising with Bai Shanshan, she had laid a good foundation for her comeback. Everything seemed to be under her control.

Women as beautiful and clever as Yan Wen were few and far between.

"I'm really pleased today. After so many years with the company, I'd grown so tired of their double-dealing ways. When I think of Bai Shanshan's face Just now, I'm going to laugh in my dreams."

Chen Yu nodded in agreement. "Me too."

She was completely on Team Yan Wen, and was Sincerely happy about this victory. "Next up will be tomorrow's filming."

Yan Wen's strength lay there; Jiang Lingyun's wide-eye stare would get her nowhere.

Xia bent to check the top searches and frowned. "Bai Shanshan's team has started its hype!"

The website was covered in notices, mostly from trolls paid for by Grand Entertainment to constantly redirect the discussions. A lot of people thought well of Jiang Lingyun and questioned Yan Wen.

"Yan Wen and Jiang Lingyun are filming a reality show together? What a mess. The washed-up star trying to rub off the mistress's popularity, it's like she didn't get enough bad préss.

"Jiang Lingyun is the top star in Grand with all resources behind her. Yan Wen is weak in comparison. She must have felt sorry for Yan Wen and let her tag along."

"Support Lingyun!"

Yan Wen glanced through some of them before turning her gaze away.

"It's not only hype. Grand Entertainment also released an announcement on this production. It makes Jiang Lingyun out to be a fairy descending from the heavens." Chen Yu pursed her lips. "Do we fight back?"

"Let's see what happens next." Yan Wen put down the supplementary agreement and was deep in thought.

As the car turned into the estate, Yan Wen lifted her head and saw Jiang Sui-an standing on the second floor balcony. His eyes were bright as stars as he watched her warmly.

"Chen Yu, let's head back to our rooms." Xia winked as she pulled Chen Yu away.

Yan Wen had just changed her shoes when Jiang Sui-an came over to welcome her home. "Are you tired?"

He ran his fingers through her hair. "I've had the staff prepare a fish stew. It's in the room. Their portions have been prepared too, don't worry."

His warm hand supporting her, he led her into the bedroom.

At that moment, Yan Wen looked at his broad back and felt a stone had been lifted off her heart. "Sui-an, you..."

"I missed you."

He turned, his arm around her waist, and enveloped her in a deep kiss. He only reluctantly let go a few minutes later.

"President Jiang, did you just use fish stew to bait me?"

"Yes." His head on her shoulder, he breathed in her perfume and tugged her gently to the window.

Their supper was laid out on the coffee table. Yan Wen leaned on him and beamed.

"Let's eat. We'll talk after."

Jiang Sui-an carefully filled a bowl for her, and after that, with his long legs crossed, he settled his warm gaze on his wife and asked, "You're not thinking of terminating with Grand?"

Yan Wen blinked slowly. She understood what Jiang Sui-an was trying to say. He might be the boss of an entertainment empire, but as long as Yan Wen remained under Grand Entertainment, there were some things he could not do. There was a baseline for what he could do for her. There were regulations in place to protect Yan Wen.

"You don't believe that I can even the odds?" Yan Wen pouted at him deliberately.
