Chapter 429: Terrible Fans
The time she spent with Ye Zhiyun was something she treasured immensely. No matter how long it was, Yu Linna cherished it very much. She and Ye Zhiyun were very busy with their respective work and rarely saw each other. They mostly chatted through video. But recently, Ye Zhiyun hadn’t even been video calling her, and she hadn’t even replied to her messages much.
Yu Linna had once thought that Ye Zhiyun had run into some bad trouble, but now it seemed that was not the case. At least Ye Zhiyun had her in her heart. As long as she knew this, Yu Linna was relieved.
Holding the other’s hand, walking on the streets of Shanghai, looking at the scenery, walking through every place, leaving behind each other’s imprint. How Yu Linna wished that this moment could be eternal, that it would stay like this forever.
Ye Zhiyun also wanted this. She wanted it very much.
During her days of working outside, she had missed Yu Linna very much. She had also once thought, if she and Yu Linna did not have a special identity, and were just ordinary people, not having to worry about their careers, not having to work hard for their dreams, then they might have a different life. If that were the case, they would definitely not be troubled by a long-distance relationship.
But if they were both ordinary people, they might not have been able to meet each other.
While Yu Linna and Ye Zhiyun were enjoying their time together, on the other side, Chenghe Film Company had also made a move.
When the upper management of Chenghe Company was in a meeting, they had specially left Yu Linna’s photo on the screen and had held a meeting for this person. Now, the popularity of the name Shion-sensei was very high, even surpassing that of the popular celebrities, becoming a phenomenal existence. Especially the recent hot search incident, which had made the name of this person, Shion-sensei, even more resonant.
Chenghe Film Company had the idea of cooperating with Shion-sensei. They had also heard that Shion-sensei had recently started writing scripts. The script she had written had received very high ratings in Japan, and the web series she had written the script for two years ago had also had a very high click rate when it was broadcast. Now she was writing a movie script, so she must have the idea of entering the screenwriter world.
Chenghe was also tempted.
Now that Nangong Ying had firmly expressed her desire to leave Chenghe, even to the point of suing Chenghe, in the coming year, they needed to find a new person to replace Nangong Ying. And for now, a good screenwriter was also very important for a movie.
But Chenghe also had self-awareness. Yu Linna had walked out of Chenghe. The things that Chenghe had wanted to do to her back then, Chenghe couldn’t possibly not know at all. If they looked for her, Yu Linna might not be willing. To be honest, Yu Linna had not even thought of exposing what Chenghe had done to her until now, which was far beyond Chenghe’s expectations.
Although Chenghe was not afraid if it really had to go to court, they had not expected that Yu Linna had no intention of fighting against Chenghe at all.
“Regarding whether we should find Shion-sensei to cooperate, let’s have another meeting.”
“I think it will be very difficult.”
“I think it is necessary to fight for it.”
Regarding this issue, the senior management of Chenghe could never come to a conclusion. They actually had a bottom line in their hearts. To want to find Shion-sensei to cooperate was really not reliable. After all, Yu Linna did not have a very good impression of Chenghe. Long ago, after she had paid the 80 million penalty to Chenghe, she had completely had no relationship with Chenghe.
To find her to cooperate, it was easy to say, but to really do it was as difficult as climbing to the sky.
And for Yu Linna, Chenghe’s side also felt that it was difficult to handle. Although Yu Tianchen had already suppressed this matter and had deceived everyone, this matter still had a great impact after all.
But who could have imagined that the person who had been brought out by Chenghe would have an accident due to being drunk at such a critical moment? If it weren’t for that, how could it have involved Yu Linna?
If Yu Linna had known, she would definitely not have just stood by and watched.
…
The cold wind blew, and the dead leaves fell. After staying in Shanghai for two days, Ye Zhiyun had to leave again. Actually, she really wanted to stay, but she couldn’t do so. She still had work to do. Yu Linna personally saw her off at the airport, watching her leave.
“Don’t show such an expression. It’s not like we won’t see each other again.”
Ye Zhiyun held her face and said with a smile.
“But I don’t know when I’ll see you next time.”
“We will see each other soon. During the New Year, you are going to spend the New Year at my house. We have plenty of opportunities.”
Yes, this New Year, Ye Zhiyun was going to take her home. She was going to formally introduce Yu Linna to her parents. No matter whether her parents would agree or not, she had to do so.
The matter with her aunt absolutely could not happen again. This time, she had to use her own strength to protect Yu Linna well.
Yu Linna lowered her head, her face slightly red. If she hadn’t been wearing a mask, she might have been even more obviously red.
“Alright, I’m leaving, baby. Take care of yourself.”
Because Yu Linna was wearing a mask, Ye Zhiyun couldn’t just take it off and kiss her. She could only leave a farewell kiss on her forehead and then turned and left.
Miss Ye, or rather, Director Ye, she was now moving forward towards her own dream. Perhaps one day she would succeed. But when this day would come, no one knew.
Yu Linna liked Ye Zhiyun. She wanted to personally watch Ye Zhiyun be able to walk towards success.
But Ye Zhiyun was also not sure…
…
After boarding the return flight, Ye Zhiyun opened WeChat and saw a message from Dai Wenqian. She fell into a state of sorrow.
◇ Qianqian: Zhiyun, I’m sorry. I did my best. The funds for post-production and promotion, we really can’t scrape them together. If we continue to overdraw, this company will be finished.
Ye Zhiyun was very clear what this meant. Perhaps this movie was really unlucky. If it was not successful, then the company she had started with Wenqian would enter its biggest winter since its opening. Whether it could survive was a question.
When she had first started with Dai Wenqian with a dream, and with a little bit of money from their parents as startup capital, they had thought of using this money to create history. But this was too difficult.
Just starting out, and already facing the situation of bankruptcy. This kind of thing, no one would feel good about it.
Ye Zhiyun could only silently endure all this. She didn’t dare to tell Yu Linna. Although she was very happy when she was with her these two days, she never talked about her own work. She was afraid that she would worry.
The proud and stubborn Ye Zhiyun would never confide in others.
…
After that, Yu Linna also chose to go back to Guangnan. She had stayed in Shanghai for long enough. It was time to go back. She and Wu Siyu had bought plane tickets early and had flown back. At this time, her heat online had also almost dropped. Going back should not attract any attention.
But she really had not expected that the people on Weibo were so terrifying.
As soon as Yu Linna got off the plane, she was immediately surrounded by a group of fans, clamoring for autographs and photos, not letting Yu Linna walk out of the passage. This caused great trouble for the airport staff, who had to have security guards come to help.
Yu Linna, relying on her small size, had struggled to squeeze out of the crowd, but there were still many die-hard fans who wanted to come over and shake her hand. Some even disgusting otaku were shouting that they wanted to hug her. Yu Linna felt extremely chilled.
“Shion-sensei, get in the car quickly.”
At a critical moment, a car drove over. The girl in the car opened the passenger door and let her get in.
“Mi Xi-sensei, why are you here?”
“Hey, I heard from the editor that you were back. I thought you would be very troubled at this time, so I drove over.”
“Then you’ve been a great help. Quick, take me away.”
Yu Linna quickly got into the car, closed the car door tightly. Mi Aili stepped on the accelerator, drove the car away, shaking off these disgusting die-hard fans. Yu Linna also sent a message to Wu Siyu afterwards to apologize, asking her to go back by herself first.
Leaning against the passenger seat, Yu Linna felt that her body had been hollowed out, and she was extremely tired.
“Mi Xi-sensei, if you hadn’t come, I think I would have really been in trouble.”
“Haha, senior, you are really popular. It’s really enviable.”
“You don’t have to make fun of me. For a person like me, a good author to be mixed up like an entertainment industry star, I’m probably the only one.”
Ever since Yu Linna had publicly revealed her identity and appearance, the image of the mysterious, unseen Shion-sensei had completely collapsed, turning into a moe little loli who could write novels, draw illustrations, and write scripts. At this time, her number of fans who were just there for her looks had increased a lot, and the number of die-hard fans had also increased a lot.
Many people were asking her online if she was really an adult. To this, she never replied.
Many of her look-fans would privately message her, asking if they could call her “onii-chan.” It was so disgusting. And these die-hard fans even asked her to speak Japanese. Had they seen her speak Japanese so fluently when she was in Japan and had taken her for the Japanese Kugimiya Rie?
“Senior, you’ve also had it hard. Come to my house to hide for a bit. I’ll make you a cup of tea.”
Mi Aili invited Yu Linna to be a guest at her house.
Speaking of which, although this junior was the champion of last year’s New Talent Award, Yu Linna didn’t know much about her. She hadn’t gone to last year’s award ceremony, only knew that this person had won the award. What this person’s home was like, she was really curious.
Thinking like this, Yu Linna agreed.
Mi Aili was also very straightforward, driving her to her home. She was just thinking about whether to prepare something delicious when she took Yu Linna up to her apartment floor and unexpectedly found that her apartment door was unlocked.
“Mi Xi-sensei, do you live with your family? The door is not locked.”
“No, I live alone…”
“Then what’s with your door?”
“…Ahaha, well, it’s a long story.”
Mi Aili said with a wry smile, an expression of impending doom on her face. Yu Linna looked on and felt that something was not right.
When they entered the door, a man in a suit who had been sitting in the living room drinking tea for a long time finally put down his teacup, pushed his glasses, and looked down at Mi Aili from a commanding height. This person was at least 1.85 meters tall. Looking at the 1.6-meter-plus Mi Aili, the pressure was overwhelming. Mi Aili was on the verge of kneeling on the ground.
“Um, Editor Deng, I’ll hand in my manuscript to you very soon. Can you not be like this? I have a guest at home today…”
“Mi Xi-sensei, as a professional writer, handing in manuscripts on time is our fine tradition. But recently, you seem to have slacked off a lot.”
Mi Aili had a look of despair on her face and obediently sat down next to her editor. And Yu Linna was watching the show the whole time. She just felt that she was watching a copy of Zhao Yuyan.
