Chapter 60: Ruined Reputation Sooner or Later
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The cameraman was speechless.
Could it be like this?
This girl looked so weak, but she really dared to say anything!
As Lin Shanchu walked, she let out a soft “ah”.
Then, she stopped.
“Our boss should still be here, right?” she asked the cameraman.
The cameraman nodded.
At this moment, the director’s voice came from the cameraman’s earpiece. “Don’t follow her. Just treat it as leaving the audience a cliffhanger.”
Hence, the cameraman turned around and left.
The commenters were puzzled.
[Huh? Mr. Cameraman, why aren’t you following her anymore? I want to see how she’s going to request a product placement ad from the boss!] [I seriously suspect that the production crew did this on purpose.]
[Is this the confidence of Backer Lady? She actually went straight to the boss to ask for a product placement ad!]
[What’s with the nickname “Backer Lady”?]
[Can’t vou even understand that? She has a fiancé who’s one of the show’s sponsors.]
[Now that you can’t criticize Lin Shanchu, you can only blame her fiancé. Is it Lin Shanchu’s fault for having a rich fiancé?]
Lin Shanchu was the key element that could attract popularity for the production crew. Naturally, they paid close attention to her movements.
Before she arrived at Nan Mu’s office, he had already received the news that she was coming over to request for a product placement advertisement.
Therefore, when Lin Shanchu pushed the door open and came in, Nan Mu wore an expression that indicated he had been waiting for a long time.
“You’re here.”
Nan Mu then burst into laughter.
“What are you laughing at?” Lin Shanchu was confused.
“They said that you came to me for a product placement advertisement.” Nan Mu’s smile faded as he motioned for her to sit. He turned around and poured her a glass of water.
When Nan Mu turned back with the glass of water, he saw Lin Shanchu taking out a phone from her pocket and placing it on the table.
“Did you hide your phone?” Nan Mu was shocked.
“It’s not mine.” Lin Shanchu found the text message that Tang Qidai had sent to Xia Jinmeng before handing the phone to Nan Mu.
Hearing that it wasn’t hers, Nan Mu’s expression relaxed. ‘What?”
Lin Shanchu lifted her chin slightly and motioned for him to see for himself.
Nan Mu’s relaxed expression suddenly became serious again.
“Who sent this message?”
“Who do you think this message was sent to?” Lin Shanchu asked instead of answering.
Nan Mu looked at the message again. [This popularity should have been yours.] “…Xia Jinmeng?
As the program’s executive producer, he had a better impression of outstanding members.
Xia Jinmeng was the most favored member of the production crew at first.
Therefore, in the early stages, the production crew and Xia Jinmeng’s company also cooperated to give her some publicity.
Even Nan Mu thought that Xia Jinmeng would definitely be the central member of the show.
But before the show started, Lin Shanchu entered the venue.
On the first day of joining the production crew, she was already on the trending list, her popularity completely crushing Xia Jinmeng.
During the initial stage assessment, Yun Wu the master dancer appeared out of nowhere and crushed Xia Jinmeng in terms of strength.
As a result, Xia Jinmeng, who had once been highly regarded by everyone, was demoted to Class B.
“Yes.” Lin Shanchu nodded.
Nan Mu sat down opposite her and continued to guess. “The person who sent the text message knew Xia Jinmeng and hated you at the same time!”
Lin Shanchu continued to nod.
Slam!
Nan Mu slammed the table with his palm while exclaiming, “Isn’t that Tang… What’s the name again?
“Tang Qidai,” Lin Shanchu reminded.
“Right!” Nan Mu had a strange look on his face. “Jidai? As in umbilical cord? Why did her parents give her such a name? No wonder I can’t remember her name.”
Lin Shanchu was speechless.
Before she came into contact with Nan Mu, she had thought that he was the kind of person who was very powerful and had a strong aura.
After all, he was the one who was able to unearth Huo Xunzhou, whose popularity was off the charts.
Now that she had more contact with him, she realized that she had misunderstood Nan Mu.
Sometimes, Nan Mu could be quite… silly.
Noticing Lin Shanchu’s speechless expression, Nan Mu quickly returned to the main topic.
“We can’t take Tang Qidai down with just this text message.”
He didn’t point out the more depressing fact.
Tang Qidai had Lu Shiyuan’s support.
A text message like this was not a threat to Tang Qidai at all.
“I know.” Tang Qidai was the biggest female antagonist in the entire novel, so of course, she would not be defeated so easily.
Nan mu said, “Then what you mean is…”
“Doesn’t everyone say that there are no secrets in this industry? There will always be people who know that Tang Qidai and Xia Jinmeng are friends! Just publish the message without revealing any names. People will naturally link it to Tang Qidai.
“Tang Qidai is used to being rude and unreasonable all these years. Naturally, she can’t stand the slightest provocation. It’s inevitable that she’ll enter the battlefield and do something to match the situation.
“When the time comes, even if I can’t defeat her, I can still coat her with stains, right?
“Sooner or later, her reputation will be ruined.” Lin Shanchu finished her speech slowly.
Her expression was as gentle and kind as usual.
However, Nan Mu’s scalp was already numb just by listening to her. He had goosebumps all over his body.
Once a woman became ruthless, there really was nothing left for a man to do.
“That makes sense. I’ll get someone to do it immediately.” Lin Shanchu nodded slightly and thanked him with a smile.
“Thank you,” she said.
When she smiled, her eyes curved upward brightly with child -like innocence.
They were so clean that not a speck of dust could be seen.
No one could associate her with the word “scheming.”
Nan Mu quickly calmed down before bringing up the product placement advertisements.
“Actually, there were people who wanted you to advertise for them on the first day you joined the production crew, but I didn’t accept their requests because those advertisements had worked with the Lu Corporation before.”
As he spoke, he paid attention to Lin Shanchu’s expression. He was a little worried that she would be dissatisfied with his arrangement.
After all, he also had some selfish motives.
He really hated Lu Shiyuan, so he wanted to avoid direct or indirect contact with him in business as much as possible.
Lin Shanchu could more or less understand what Nan Mu was thinking. She laughed and said, “You’re my boss, so you make the call.”
Nan Mu let out a sigh of relief.
“But don’t worry, I’ve already contacted Capital City in terms of resources. I’ll arrange something for you latest by the first public showdown.”
“There’s no rush.” Lin Shanchu looked indifferent.
Nan Mu thought that Lin Shanchu did not believe him.
When he sent Lin Shanchu out, he repeatedly promised Lin Shanchu that he would arrange for her to shoot a product placement advertisement.
That enthusiastic look was very much like an employee who promised his boss that he would definitely complete the key performance indicator at work.
It was only after Lin Shanchu had walked far away that Nan Mu suddenly came back to his senses.
He began to have doubts about himself.
Who was the boss again?
Creak…
The door of the lounge behind him opened at that moment.
“Xunzhou. ”
Nan Mu turned around and continued, ‘You know Lin Shanchu quite well. She’s just using the product placement advertisement as a cover and came to me for something else.”
Huo Xunzhou had been listening to their conversation from behind the lounge door.
He roughly understood what had happened.
He reached out to Nan Mu.
Nan Mu handed the phone to him.
When Huo Xunzhou was reading the message on the phone, Nan Mu laughed slyly while saying, “Why did you hide when Lin Shanchu came just now? Did you do something to let her down?”
Huo Xunzhou, who had been scrolling through the inbox on the phone screen, suddenly paused in his actions.
He raised his eyes and looked at Nan Mu coldly.. “Do you want to find out?”
