Chapter 36 What a nice CEO leaves his beautiful wife alone at home!
Five hours ago.
Honey, someone is bullying me.
In the president's office, designed primarily in black, gray, and white, the air conditioning was set to a comfortable 27 degrees Celsius. Pei Weijin wore only a simple black shirt paired with a dark red striped tie, exuding maturity and composure.
He had just finished a meeting and was intently looking at the message his wife had just sent, his eyes filled with a gentle smile.
When they first got married, Yan Zhuoyu never asked him for help or acted coquettishly like she does now.
Pei Weijin raised his head slightly, a fleeting smile in his eyes, and then instructed Secretary Meng beside him, "Meng Yuting, go and find out who has bullied Madam."
"Yes, Mr. Pei." Secretary Meng responded and acted quickly.
Within five minutes, Secretary Meng returned with a laptop, the screen displaying every detail of the incident.
He reported to Pei Weijin in a clear and organized manner: "President Pei, according to our investigation, your wife was at the audition for 'The Road to Success'..."
Pei Weijin's voice was icy: "Are you saying that the Xingyue Hotel, known for its tight security and high-definition surveillance, suddenly broke down in front of Madam?"
Secretary Meng thought for a moment and replied, "That's true, President Pei."
"That's a clever mishap."
Pei Weijin tapped the table lightly, seemingly lost in thought. He then flipped through his recent travel records and said meaningfully, "I remember that on the 3rd of this month, Fu Zhuchen and I went to the Xingyue Hotel."
As the chief secretary, Secretary Meng understood immediately: "Don't worry, President Pei, I'll arrange it right away. Just say that you have lost an important document and need to retrieve the surveillance footage."
"For public safety, we will release information about the hotel's surveillance system malfunction when necessary."
……
Meanwhile, the auditions for "The Road to Success" have ended. When director Liu Tianyong officially announced the cast, he specifically brought up the topic of Yan Zhuoyu being rejected despite bringing her own investment to join the production.
[Liu Tianyong: After a day of auditions and casting, all roles in "The Road to Success" have been finalized. Thank you for your support and encouragement. The entertainment industry is a complex and often corrupting force, but I firmly believe that only sincere creation and superb acting skills can win the audience's favor. At the same time, I hope that all actors can uphold the true essence of art, not always think about taking shortcuts, and focus on honing their acting skills. Good scripts will naturally come.]
They were subtly implying that Yan Zhuoyu had brought her own investment to the production team, thus portraying themselves as victims who were not afraid of powerful figures.
Netizens are already annoyed enough by their daily work, so they go online to vent their emotions. Naturally, they don't empathize with capitalists and immediately take sides.
[This junior judge dares to target netizens, but did he secretly bring his own funding to get the role?]
[As a two-year fan of Yan Zhuoyu, I want to say honestly that although Zhuoyu has a bit of a temper, she is very dedicated to every script and staff member, and would never do such a thing.]
[Yes, to be fair, one side of the story isn't reliable. If Yan Zhuoyu, with her background, wanted to take shortcuts, why would she have been smeared for so long?]
[Yan Zhuoyu's fans, stop trying to defend her. Everyone knows about your idol's situation.]
Support Director Liu! Clean up the entertainment industry! Boycott actors who bring their own funding to get roles!
[No pictures, no evidence. They haven't learned their lesson from being called opportunists last time. Director Wang has already retired from the industry; how far behind is Director Liu?]
……
When Yan Zhuoyu returned home after filming, she found an email in her inbox with a complete surveillance video of the incident on set that morning attached. The sender was Secretary Meng.
Monitoring.
After calling her name, the assistant crossed his legs and started playing on his phone, completely contradicting his claim that he had chased after her to explain but she wouldn't listen.
She watched half of the video and then forwarded it to Qiao Xinyun's email.
She habitually opened the chat window with Pei Weijin, only to find that he had not yet replied.
Yan Zhuoyu scrolled through the chat history and muttered to herself, "Could it be that they find me annoying?"
For the first half of the month, Pei Weijin was almost always the one who took the initiative to send her messages to report. Recently, it seems that he initiates every chat on his own initiative.
"It seems like the messages are being sent a bit too frequently."
Yan Zhuoyu turned around and sent another message to Pei Weijin, muttering to herself, "Only someone with no taste would bother such a beauty."
Before the message could be finished being edited, Pei Weijin sent a message.
[The cold, aloof CEO is fiery: I'm working overtime tonight, don't wait for me for dinner, take care of yourself.]
Yan Zhuoyu pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "What kind of CEO leaves his beautiful wife alone at home while he works overtime at the company? Workaholic..."
"Hmph, calling him frigid isn't entirely unjustified."
On the other hand, after receiving the email, Qiao Xinyun acted quickly, and the public relations department released a clarification statement at six o'clock sharp. With the exposure of the surveillance video, the public opinion trend reversed again.
[I laughed. Those fair-weather friends really got what they asked for. My sister Yan's image as the judge of the entertainment industry remains intact!]
[Our hearts aches for Zhuobao. Zhuobao, you must take good care of yourself. We, your little flame, will always be with you!]
[Director Liu, please stop! Sister Yan is everywhere outside!]
[The news that Yan Zhuoyu had over twenty takes on set must be true, right? If her acting isn't good, just admit it. She's still young; don't make things difficult for yourself.]
[Upstairs, if you had read the entire clarification, didn't you see the studio also explain that it was another actor's positioning mistake?]
……
It must be said that the surveillance equipment at the Xingyue Hotel is truly top-notch, with high-definition video and sound. Director Liu and Song Zhiyu couldn't find any excuse to cause trouble.
As soon as Yan Zhuoyu's video was released, Director Liu immediately knelt down in despair.
He hurriedly edited the Weibo post that subtly mocked Yan Zhuoyu and even sent her a private message to apologize.
[Liu Tianyong: Ms. Yan, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by today's events. After verification, this was indeed a misunderstanding. I have already dismissed my assistant, and I hope you can forgive me.]
To show our sincerity, after you delete the relevant Weibo post, we are willing to offer you a chance to audition again, and also allow the public to witness and participate in the audition process. As compensation, I am willing to offer double the remuneration.
I hope this incident will not affect our friendship. I look forward to creating more excellent works with you in the future. Looking forward to your return.
