Free Web NovelChapter 300: Chapter 298: It Really Is Quite Feudal and Superstitious
"Of course, Miss Qin, you aren’t that kind of person. But the show does need to be postponed for a few days. What are your thoughts?"
Looking at the director’s attitude, Qin Yun thought for a moment. "Have Wen Ying come see me, and I’ll agree."
Director Wen: "..."
’Have Doctor Wen come see her?’
’Does Miss Qin think she’s so high and mighty that she can just order people around?’
’She really doesn’t know her place.’
Being born into the Qin Family certainly put her in a high position. But in front of Doctor Wen, Director Wen didn’t think this Qin Yun could compare. The two of them were worlds apart.
"Miss Qin, I can’t agree to that. Whether Doctor Wen sees you or not is her own choice."
"The director can’t even handle something this simple? Is this your attitude?" Qin Yun was deeply displeased.
’Even though Director Wen is new, he has complete control over this show.’
’Manipulating some guests with no fame or status should be a piece of cake, right?’
’He’s clearly just trying to disrespect me!’
’He’s only been on the hot search list a few times, and he really thinks he’s a big shot?’
’No foundation, no backing, no connections.’
’His only variety show has barely started filming, and he’s already dreaming of skyrocketing to fame.’ freeweɓnøvel.com
’So clueless.’
"Miss Qin, it’s true I don’t have much power. I invited everyone to film the show according to their contracts. If you’re not satisfied, why don’t you just sue me?"
Qin Yun’s expression turned even uglier.
’How dare he threaten me?’
’A nouveau riche upstart with no real substance, truly oblivious to his own insignificance.’
’Sue him?’
’Don’t I, Qin Yun, have my pride to consider?’
When Xu Jiali first saw Qin Yun, she had turned to look. Seeing the two of them seemingly at a stalemate, she had her suspicions.
Walking a little closer, Xu Jiali overheard what Qin Yun was saying.
’So she’s targeting Sister Wen Ying!’
"Director Wen, do you have any idea what you’re saying?" Qin Yun’s voice was cold.
Xu Jiali grabbed Song Jiayan’s arm, pretending to chat about something, and raised her voice a little.
"Song Jiayan, what do you think? Our show just got rid of a few weirdos, and now another one shows up. Could the feng shui here really be that bad?"
Xu Jiali looked thoughtful.
But her voice was loud enough for both Director Wen and Qin Yun to hear.
Qin Yun glanced over at Xu Jiali, but Xu Jiali wasn’t looking at her, acting as if she were really just making small talk.
"What weirdos?" Song Jiayan was a bit confused.
"You know, some people think that just because they were born into a rich family, they’re superior to everyone else. They talk to people like they’re giving orders. It’s so strange."
"Xiao Xu, you and Little Song should go for a walk if you have nothing else to do. I’ll let you know when there’s news."
Director Wen cut in, giving them a hint.
’If Xu Jiali confronts Qin Yun, she’ll be the one to suffer. What a foolish girl.’
’Being loyal to Doctor Wen is a good thing, but taking veiled digs at the young miss of the Qin Family will lead to trouble.’
’Ah, youth. They don’t know how treacherous the world can be.’
Qin Yun shot a glance at Xu Jiali but said nothing.
Song Jiayan pulled Xu Jiali away.
Qin Yun looked at Director Wen, her tone mocking. "Director Wen, you’re such a good person."
"You’re too kind, Miss Qin. They’re just a couple of young women filming a show for the first time. It’s not worth mentioning."
"So, Director Wen, you knew she was talking about me?"
"Surely not?" Director Wen asked, feigning shock. "I just thought they were disrupting our conversation by chatting here, so I sent them away."
Qin Yun chuckled.
"So, where’s Wen Ying? If she’s not with the production team, where did she go?"
"Miss Qin, you’re really putting me in a difficult position. I don’t know where Doctor Wen is. As everyone knows, I was trying to contact her all day yesterday, but I couldn’t get through. Xu Jiali is her best friend, and even she couldn’t reach her."
The director wasn’t lying about that.
Qin Yun knew that, too.
But she was still dissatisfied.
"Is the halt in filming related to her?"
Director Wen immediately shook his head. "The police came. Something happened to Xie Fu Yao, right here on site. So the police determined the woods were dangerous and ordered us to stop filming."
Qin Yun looked at Director Wen with suspicion.
"Xie Fu Yao was supposed to leave yesterday. I thought he’d gone back to his company, but someone found him in the woods. When we went to get him, we almost got hurt. It was like he was possessed or something. I don’t know the other details. Miss Qin, you have your own connections; you can ask around and see what’s going on."
Qin Yun frowned as she listened.
’What is all this nonsense?’
But it wasn’t as if she had never heard of such strange things.
’That woman who came back to the family—isn’t she strange?’
’They say her daughter died, but she still thinks her daughter is alive and insists on accumulating good karma for her.’
’Some people even say she saw her daughter after she died. Isn’t that even more ridiculous?’
’She’s completely unhinged. A total embarrassment to the Qin Family!’
It was precisely because her investigation revealed a connection between that incident and this Wen Ying that she had come to participate in this kind of show.
But she never expected another incident to occur.
’But who knows what the old lady is thinking, insisting that these things might actually be real.’
’She’s so old, she must be getting senile.’
’Instead of getting close to her own family, she insists on favoring some little girl with a different surname who was brought back from who knows where.’
"If you don’t believe me, Miss Qin, you can check the hot search list."
Qin Yun took out her phone and opened the hot search page.
The hot search list was a mess, filled with all sorts of news.
The production team was trending. Qin Yun glanced at the list: Doctor Wen, Xu Jiali, Song Jiayan, and also a Little White.
A whole bunch of trending topics.
Xie Fu Yao was at the bottom of the list.
This particular topic was just a blurry video of Xie Fu Yao being led away by the police.
His agency had already issued a notice, stating that Xie Fu Yao had violated his contract and it had been terminated.
Simply put, they were telling everyone that whatever Xie Fu Yao did from now on had nothing to do with them.
’If you’re going to blame someone, blame Xie Fu Yao. Don’t drag the company into it.’
Only Xie Fu Yao’s fans were still trying to fight back.
But there weren’t many left.
As for why Xie Fu Yao was taken away, there were no further details.
The police hadn’t released a statement either.
But just then, Jiang Beibei, who had faded from the public eye, spoke up. In a video, she claimed that Xie Fu Yao’s state was definitely not normal and that she suspected it had something to do with Wen Ying.
She had already investigated this psychologist, Wen Ying, and found that she was famous online.
She often did strange, mysterious things and said equally strange, mysterious things.
Jiang Beibei even compiled a list of everything Wen Ying had done from her very first livestream to the present, complete with pictures, written descriptions, and some video screenshots.
And you had to admit, Jiang Beibei had put a lot of effort into it; she probably hadn’t slept for days.
The accuracy of the listed events was as high as ninety-nine percent—they were all things Doctor Wen had actually experienced.
Looking at these events one by one, they all exuded an aura of profound mysticism!
Jiang Beibei didn’t even need to slander her; anyone reading the long post could feel it in their bones.
People had previously thought Doctor Wen was amazing, just a bit mysterious.
Perhaps even a little metaphysical.
But with everything laid out together, the more you looked, the more mystical it seemed.
It really did resemble the "feudal superstition" Jiang Beibei was talking about...
Talisman painting... fortune-telling... seeing through the past and future...
