Chapter 667 - Make It More Exciting

Think about the gimmicks she used to promote movies in the past; every time was a big sensation, right?

Laila sighed, "I wish I had the ability to predict the future." Well, it seems she does have the ability to predict the future; the reincarnation's golden finger wasn't given for nothing.

However, her presence changed the course of many historical events. At least, this incident didn't happen in the previous life. Perhaps because, at this point in the previous life, Downey was still in prison and hadn't been released yet?

"What do you plan to do?" Xiao Ye was curious. If she didn't quickly help Downey eliminate the negative impact, what did she intend to do with the evidence in her hands?

"Of course, I'm going to use it to create the maximum profit for myself!" Laila didn't hide her obsession with making money. Since others knew what she knew, and she knew what others didn't, there was no point in hiding her intentions.

Xiao Ye was itching to know more, "Tell me about it. I can give you some advice on whether it's a good idea."

Laila raised an eyebrow, "Just wait and see."

"Do you know? I hate people who keep others in suspense like you!" Xiao Ye gave her a disdainful look, turning his thumb downward.

"Likewise." Laila gave him an equally disdainful look. As if he hadn't kept her in suspense before. If given the chance, this guy would keep others in suspense better than anyone else. Now he was turning the tables on her?

No matter how Xiao Ye tried to pry, Laila didn't say a word. In the end, he could only leave with a face of grievance.

After he left, Laila took out her phone, "Anthony, arrange interviews for me."

"OK, no problem. When and how intense do you want the cooperation?" Anthony quickly caught up with her pace. After seeing the news about Downey earlier, he knew the time had come for him to help the young boss again, so he had already made plans. He just needed her command to go all out to clear Downey's name.

Laila always appreciated his work abilities. Every time she talked to him, she couldn't resist trying to compete with him. Unfortunately, she never succeeded.

"I heard from Louise that both NBC and Entertainer have applied for interviews. Arrange them. I want to make Downey's situation more exciting."

"Huh?" Anthony was unusually stunned. Did he hear the young boss say she wanted to make the situation more exciting? Was this the kind of excitement she had in mind? "Aren't we supposed to help Mr. Downey clear his negative news first?"

"Clear, of course, we'll clear it. But not now." With the crucial evidence in her hand, Laila felt a momentary relief. Of course, she had to demand a reasonable reward for her exhaustion during this time.

Anthony didn't quite understand her meaning. So, they weren't going to clear Downey's name, but instead, make the situation bigger?

"Miss Moran, do you have something favorable in your hands?"

Laila clicked her tongue, "Anthony, with a mind like yours, it's a waste to stay with my grandfather. Come over to my side; there's more potential for development. How about being my general manager?"

Anthony's eye twitched, "Thank you for your appreciation, but I prefer working in media. Moreover, when you take over the group in the future, won't I still be under you?"

"That's true." Laila could tell she was rejected again. Well, rejection was also a form of refusal. Was her company really so unappealing? "Alright, if you like it that way, just remember to call me when you want to change jobs."

"...I'll keep it in mind." Anthony had heard similar words many times. Facing the future boss's digging each time, he had gone from pleasantly surprised to indifferent. Being favored by the future boss seemed to be able to guarantee that he could afford the future bills.

After recording Laila's requests, he hung up the phone and immediately dialed the number of the big boss. As a person specially prepared for the future boss, he was lucky to have the private number of the boss.

Oswald was in the office looking at documents. Seeing Anthony's incoming call, he immediately put down his work and answered the phone. He knew that when Anthony called at this time, it must be related to his granddaughter.

Sure enough, the expected voice came from the other end.

"Boss, Miss Moran just called."

"How is it? Can't hold on anymore, needs your help?" The boss's voice seemed to be a bit pleased. It must be an illusion. Otherwise, how could he be pleased when he heard that something was wrong with his granddaughter?

Anthony gave a strange look at the phone for a few seconds before answering, "Miss Moran hopes I cooperate with her in the next move. But it's not to clear Mr. Downey's name; it's to make the situation bigger."

Oswald narrowed his eyes, "It seems she has something favorable. Do as she says. If there's anything you find difficult to do, tell me, I'll handle it."

"Understood." Anthony knew that this meant the boss was giving him absolute authority. In a situation where the young boss needed him, he could use all the resources under the boss's name.

As a high-ranking member of the group, he knew very well what this meant. He was a bit amazed at the boss's bold move, but thinking of the young lady, he easily accepted it. If it were his own granddaughter in trouble, he would probably go all out to help her.

After entrusting the most important part of the plan to Anthony, Laila temporarily left it to him. She believed he would do an excellent job; otherwise, she wouldn't have to dig at him every time they interacted.

Currently, public opinion outside was still relatively favorable to Downey. Mainly because Cole's reputation was so bad that no matter what dirty tricks he played, people didn't find it strange.

But even so, most of the onlookers still felt that the situation wasn't very favorable to Downey. There was no evidence to prove that he indeed acted to save someone. In this situation, many people felt that regardless of whether he had reasons or not, violence should not be used to solve problems.

A celebrity, even if they were no longer popular, still had a certain influence. If he wasn't a celebrity and it was just an ordinary fight, would it cause such a big uproar?

As a celebrity, one had to take responsibility for their actions. It was not acceptable to resort to violence so easily.

This was what some people on Downey's side were saying, while others believed he was lying. Yes, Cole was not a good person, but was Downey a good person? Having been in jail, and his family falling apart, if it weren't for the luck of having a good father and being noticed by Moran to act in a movie, he might have already been lying dead in some alley.

Some comments on the internet were even harsher, suggesting that he joined Laila's movie not because of his ability and acting skills but because of... unspeakable behavior. In simple terms, he was taken advantage of by the director. If Moran was willing, more than half of Hollywood would be willing to take roles in her movies.
