Chapter 600: A Sudden Situation
Chenghe felt very strange. Because they had been doing well in the industry, and suddenly overnight, they seemed to have been targeted, and had been given a hard time everywhere. And for some reason, they had lost a lot of money, which had made Chenghe very anxious. The senior management of Chenghe knew that they had been targeted even if they had thought with their butts. In the country, there were only a few powers that dared to deal with them, Chenghe, like this. It had to be a very strong power to be able to do so.
And to deal with Chenghe also meant to break the balance, which was not something that any big power wanted to see. But if it was a big power group that did not belong to the country, then it was another matter.
Chenghe could not figure out who on earth was targeting him. Even if he wanted to take revenge, he did not know his opponent. This was the most terrifying thing.
“Dammit, who on earth is scheming against us?”
The senior management had always wanted to find an answer, but unfortunately, they could not. Now that Chenghe had been targeted like this, its dirt was also being exposed. Many of the tabloids were reporting on Chenghe’s dirt. It was unknown where they had gotten their information from. If it weren’t for the fact that the other party was a tabloid, the masses would probably have really believed it. But even so, it still had a considerable impact on Chenghe. Some of Chenghe’s haters had taken this opportunity to lead the rhythm, disrupting Chenghe’s footing, to the point where Chenghe had had to arrange for more water armies for this.
At the same time, Yu Jiayang had quietly let his branch company go public in the country. The purpose was also very simple, just to give Chenghe a little color to see. Chenghe probably did not know what kind of character they had provoked. If they had thought of it, they would not have been like this.
Chenghe had always been occupying a place in the entertainment industry as an industry leader. No one had ever shaken its position, and it had also done a lot of shady business, and had also participated in a lot of triad transactions. The entertainment industry knew of its face but did not speak of it. For many years, Chenghe had always occupied the absolute initiative and the absolute right to speak. No one had ever challenged it.
Until Chenghe itself had done a stupid thing.
Yu Jiayang looked at the materials that his assistant had sent him. After reading all the materials, the more he looked, the more angry he got. Thinking that Yu Linna had once stayed here, the more he thought, the more angry he got. If he were to just let it go, that would be looking down on him too much. He would absolutely not just let it go.
The senior management of Chenghe was discussing this matter. Yu Tianchen had collected a lot of materials, but had not yet found out who was targeting Chenghe. He only knew that the other party’s power was stronger than his own. If that were the case, then it would be really too terrifying. Chenghe was one of the top companies in the country. If there was an existence that was stronger than Chenghe, then there were only a few companies. For Chenghe to be an enemy of these people was really not a good thing, but Chenghe had to know where they had offended them.
The boss of Chenghe, Lin Shaotian, was having a headache over this, but there was nothing he could do. This day, Yu Tianchen had brought Yu Linna’s materials up and had asked him how to deal with it.
“Are you still planning to make a move on Yu Linna? She has someone to back her up. She’s not as easy to deal with as before.”
“But if this worry in my heart is not removed, do you think our Chenghe can be at ease?”
Chenghe had always had a worry in their hearts, and that was Yu Linna. Yu Linna knew a lot about Chenghe. Besides being from Chenghe, she also knew that Chenghe had once made a move on Nangong Ying’s agent and had indirectly killed her editor, Chen Xi. To have her, this big mouth, in the world was always not at ease.
But to kill her was also too obvious. The current Yu Linna was being closely watched. How could it be so easy to make a move?
“Boss, it’s not as if there’s no way to deal with her. Although she is being protected by someone, she is not without a single flaw. As long as we find a flaw, we can deal with her. If it doesn’t work, we’ll just find another chance.”
“At a time like this, you’re still thinking of dealing with Yu Linna. The matter at hand has not even been dealt with, and you’re still considering her. But what you said also has a point. If she is not removed for a day, I will not be able to sleep for a day.”
What Chenghe was most uneasy about at present was indeed Yu Linna’s matter. Although the enemy that Chenghe had to deal with was also very difficult to deal with, for now, Chenghe had a chance to deal with Yu Linna. No matter how you thought about it, you could not let it go. To get rid of Yu Linna first, the rest would also be a little more at ease. Yu Tianchen had said that there was a chance, but it was not to say that it would be 100% successful, but at least there was a chance.
Yu Linna did not know that she had been targeted, nor could she have thought of it. Because ever since she had had a bodyguard to protect her, she had basically not encountered any danger in the country. There had always been someone to protect her, so she had also relaxed her heart.
…
The crew of the show had recently also taken on an activity, which was to promote the movie Child of the Rain. The main creative staff would all be participating in this press conference. This was also another opportunity for Yu Linna to participate in a public event, and it had naturally also gathered a lot of reporters. Ye Zhiyun, in order not to delay the crew, had had everyone work overtime to catch up, had sped up the progress, which had made everyone miserable. Yu Linna had also been asked to revise the script time and time again, and had almost been tortured to death. But for the sake of the movie’s quality, she had still endured it.
“Nana, after this event is over, I have something to say to you.”
Before the event had started, Ye Zhiyun had found her and had said such a thing. But in fact, she could also guess a thing or two about what she wanted to say. Yu Linna understood this person.
“It’s also fine to say it now. I can probably guess what you’re thinking.”
“I’ll find you after the event is over. You have to wait for me.”
Ye Zhiyun did not say anything, just left such a sentence, and then she had left.
At the site of the Child of the Rain movie press conference, Ye Zhiyun, Yu Linna, and the other main creative team were all there. This was a promotional event, and also a chance to have close contact with the reporters. At the press conference, Ye Zhiyun, as the director, had said a few words, and then she had played the movie’s trailer on the big screen, and had briefly introduced this film.
“I think this is an innovative opportunity for me, because before, I had always been filming romance films, inspirational films. Now to film an animated film once is a rare opportunity for me. I have always had the idea of filming this kind of theme, but I just didn’t have the chance. Now that I have this opportunity, I am very much looking forward to the movie being able to meet the audience soon.”
Standing on the side, looking at Ye Zhiyun, who was giving a speech in the very center, this person’s back was also getting more and more strange. Compared to the back she had been used to seeing before, her shoulders were now stronger, and the flesh on her body was also less. If she didn’t wear makeup, you could see the bags under her eyes. There had been some changes from her past appearance.
Time will change many people, both good and bad. It will always change.
After Ye Zhiyun had finished speaking, the organizer had invited Yu Linna to also come up and say a few words. After all, in this team, Yu Linna was also a star figure, and everyone also liked her. What’s more, this was Yu Linna’s first work after she had returned to her home country. Before, there had been two successful examples of animated films. Everyone was looking forward to her new work.
She walked over, took the microphone from Ye Zhiyun’s hand, and cleared her throat.
“For this work, I have tried to create with a new line of thinking. What’s different from the past is that this work should be more biased towards a commercial film. I will not say that this film was written to win an award, because I have already won an award. This time’s movie, I am planning to…”
Ye Zhiyun silently moved back, thinking of giving this stage to Yu Linna, to let her perform. What’s more, her fans were originally more than Ye Zhiyun’s. Perhaps everyone liked her a little more.
Actually, she was very selfish. On the one hand, she wanted to finish the movie as soon as possible, and on the other hand, she did not want Yu Linna to leave. If one day Yu Linna really left, then she would really have no chance to be with her.
She did not want to end it just like this.
Just as she had taken a few steps back and was about to go back, Ye Zhiyun had sharp eyes and had discovered a man in the audience who was slowly approaching the stage, and you could also see a little bit of a silver light.
Ye Zhiyun had thought a lot in a short one second. In this one second, she had seen the quiet crowd, had seen the loose security, and had also seen the accumulated smiles on the organizer’s face, as well as the widened eyes on that thin and weak man’s face.
In the next second, this man had suddenly rushed onto the stage, as if he were in an uninhabited land, and had rushed towards Yu Linna, who was speaking on the stage. And in this one second, Ye Zhiyun had also moved.
“Nana!”
Thump!
Clang!
Ye Zhiyun had held down this crazed and hoarse man tightly. The dagger in his hand had fallen to the ground with a clang, and the person had also been pressed onto the stage, unable to move.
The sudden scene had scared the audience, especially when the dagger had fallen to the ground. The timid girls were screaming. The words that Yu Linna had been in the middle of saying had also been interrupted. Her whole person was stunned. The others had never seen this scene before, and their faces were pale with fear.
“Quick, someone! Catch him!”
Ye Zhiyun had practiced after all. By the time her body had reacted, she had already subdued this man. It was also thanks to her timely reaction that a great disaster had not been caused. The security guards had quickly rushed up to subdue the man and had taken him away. The event had also been interrupted on the spot.
But the most surprised were the Chenghe personnel who were hiding behind the scenes. They had originally been thinking of taking this opportunity to make a move, but they had not expected that someone would make a move faster than Chenghe. Clearly, the other party had not greeted Chenghe, and Chenghe also did not know that the other party would do such a thing. When they had wanted to make a move, the other party had made a move faster than them.
After Yu Linna had calmed down, she had immediately rushed over to see Ye Zhiyun’s situation.
“Zhiyun? How are you? Are you not injured?”
“I’m fine. I saw him wanting to come up with a knife, so I pressed him down. It’s a good thing you’re fine.”
“How can you be so foolish! It’s very dangerous! What if something happens to you!”
“Aren’t I fine?”
Ye Zhiyun was relieved. Before, when she had seen that person wanting to make a move on Yu Linna, she had moved without even thinking. If she had hesitated for a second, then the result would have been different. Fortunately, at that time, she had not hesitated.
And this event had been forced to be interrupted, but it had at once been spread online, and the news had also been crazily reported. Especially when a title like “Yu Linna’s assassination attempt failed” had appeared, it had really attracted the attention of many people. One had to know that Yu Linna was a super star. Her popularity had always been high. For her to actually have an assassination attempt in public, it was a scary thing to think about. And the identity of the man who had attempted the assassination was not yet clear, and the purpose of his action was also unclear. It was unknown if it was a personal action or if there was someone behind it.
Among them, Chenghe was the most annoyed. Because Chenghe had originally wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Yu Linna. Who would have known that a person would suddenly rush out to stab Yu Linna, completely disrupting Chenghe’s plan? And Yu Linna’s bodyguards were also extremely guilty. They had not expected that a moment of carelessness would lead to such a situation. This had also made their defense forces deepen a lot.
