Chapter 752
Resolving Grudges
It took Chenxi Entertainment several days to find out about the internal situation of Yiyi Media.
Knowing that in order to start the "Invisible Secret" project this year, they contacted various directors who could shoot urban suspense films at the beginning of the month, inquiring about their schedules one by one, and even deliberately revealed that Jinli would also be involved in the film.
Sui Lingfang scoffed with great dissatisfaction, "They acted quickly, managing to keep us all in the dark."
It's also our fault for not having been involved in film and television production before, and lacking connections in this field. They were promoting it extensively within the industry, but we knew nothing about it!
The assistant asked, "Should we send someone to warn Yiyi Media?"
Sui Lingfang pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "No need, after all, they still need to set up the production team."
We told them in advance to suspend the construction, which helped them recover their losses.
If they continue to act willfully without consulting us and arrange everything beforehand, I will not give them any face.
All of this was contingent on Jinli being available to participate; if she wasn't available, all the arrangements would be in vain.
She paused, then added, "Moreover, we have now assigned dedicated communication personnel, so Yiyi Media should not resort to any more underhanded tactics."
Of course, even if they do it, Chenxi Entertainment isn't afraid.
After all, this collaboration was initiated by Yiyi Media begging Jinli to cooperate, not the other way around.
Jinli has always been indifferent to whether or not to film a TV series focusing on her, and she has no shortage of scripts.
In addition, the launch event for Yajun's official spokesperson and new products was successfully held a few days ago.
Ya Jun contacted the customer who asked Jin Li the pointed questions at the scene through some special channels.
The VIP clients were too busy to come that day, so their daughter brought their invitation.
Ya-jun contacted the client through a specialist and subtly mentioned that the child's condition at the time was not quite right.
The customer quickly asked his daughter, who looked quite pleased with herself, thinking that her question was very clever and excellent.
She added, "Mom and Dad, why don't you praise me for being brave? Even Jinli said my attitude is something everyone should learn from."
Her parents were completely baffled.
They have a high social status, live a wealthy life, and have good jobs.
Therefore, in raising my daughter, I never asked her to do anything from childhood to adulthood.
This led to her developing a very easygoing personality.
My daughter is almost an adult now and will be taking the college entrance exam next year. Strictly speaking, she's practically a little adult, yet she's still so immature and lacks any emotional intelligence.
The father said earnestly, "Daughter, do you really think that person was praising you? She just said a few polite words to avoid embarrassing you."
If you actually think she's praising you, you're sorely mistaken!
The mother frowned and asked in confusion, "Why would you ask her this question? Didn't you promise me back in the first year of high school that you wouldn't be a fan of celebrities? How do you know so much about this?"
The daughter shrank her shoulders and said guiltily, "I don't really follow celebrities anymore. I just occasionally browse social media on weekends and listen to my friends' heated discussions about them."
They knew I could attend the Yajun event, so they asked me to ask these questions.
The mother's expression was serious: "So, were you encouraged by others, or did you want to ask this yourself?"
The daughter whispered, "I...I..."
She looked up at her mother, not daring to lie or tell the truth, and said, "Half and half."
But this reason did not satisfy the mother.
The mother said sternly, "Starting today, I will control your screen time and check your app usage history."
Nannan, I've told you so many times, once you get to high school, you should focus on your studies and stop paying attention to all that other nonsense.
And those questions you asked at the press conference—you were clearly encouraged to ask them by others; I know you didn't have the guts to ask them.
"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." Besides encouraging you to spend recklessly on a bunch of strange and useless products, what have your group of celebrity-obsessed friends gotten you out of?
They said a few nice things to you online, but in real life, did they offer you any help? Did they provide any benefit to you? Absolutely nothing!
The daughter couldn't help but retort, "Yes! You always deny my hobbies. I'm clearly happy with them, but you insist on making me learn other hobbies, which I'm not happy with at all!"
The father also expressed his disapproval, saying, "It's not that I'm against you being a fan, but you need to show us that being a fan has a positive impact on your life."
But what about you? Besides being addicted to playing on your phone, staying up all night posting to defend celebrities, and making various low-quality comments to increase activity, what have you gained?
Some happiness is just fleeting, and it won't have a positive impact on your life. What's false will always remain false, and I won't allow you to waste your life or your time!
This exchange ended with the two sides arguing.
The daughter disagreed with her parents' views, thinking they were old-fashioned.
Her parents were worried, feeling that if she continued like this, she would be ruined.
In order to help their daughter reform, they voluntarily stopped her credit card and only gave her enough money to cover her three meals a day.
The daughter was unconvinced and unwilling to listen to her parents.
So she sought help from her online "friends".
[Sister Lingdang, I bought you several bags that Sister Xunfang endorsed before. Didn't you say you wanted to thank me? Could you lend me some money? My parents have suspended my credit card.]
[Sister Sweet Potato, I sent you a lot of Sister Xunfang's merchandise. Could you send me some of the valuable photocards? I want to sell them online.]
【Sister Tianqing, last year you said you wanted to go to a concert, so I transferred some money to you. You said you had a thousand left over, and I told you you didn't need to pay it back. Can you pay me back now? I'm a little short on cash lately.】
……
She thought that if she gave the order, her "good friend" would go through fire and water for her and would definitely lend her money.
She wanted to prove to her mother that she had made the right choice!
Who says there's no genuine affection online?
Everyone she met was a good person!
result……
No results found.
Friends who had gathered around her because of her "generosity" and "extravagance" all chose to remain silent when faced with her request to borrow money.
Only one shy and embarrassed netizen gave her 300 yuan.
But she remembered that she had lent him at least 2000 yuan!
The daughter couldn't believe that these people would treat her like this, so she went to find the administrator of Li Xunfang's fan group.
That said, when they learned that she could attend the Yajun press conference, it was the manager who specifically chatted with her privately and asked her to ask those questions.
The daughter didn't think anything was wrong.
Because that's what the manager told her—
Once you arrive at the venue, could you ask Ya-jun what criteria she used to select the spokesperson, whether Jin-li meets those criteria, and whether Jin-li feels she is qualified to serve those standards?
[This isn't meant to be a question; I'm thinking that since Ya-jun has made the standards public, we can encourage Sister Qian-fang to strive in that direction and try to become Ya-jun's spokesperson next time!]
Since you like Sister Xunfang so much, could you help me with this?
……
She was so happy that the aloof administrator actually messaged her privately for help, immediately replying: 【Sure!】
That's why she asked those questions at the press conference. At the time, the administrator said it was just a question, and as long as she didn't reveal that she was a fan of Li Xunfang, Jinli's team wouldn't cause her any trouble, and her life wouldn't change in any way.
As a result, her life is now strictly controlled by her parents, her time on her phone has been greatly reduced, and she is struggling financially.
How can you say that nothing has changed?
She immediately messaged the administrator privately, hoping she could offer some help.
You said there wouldn't be any changes, so why are my parents so disappointed in me when they find out I asked these questions? They say I have no emotional intelligence.
Didn't you say nothing would change? Then why are my parents so angry? Did you use me as a scapegoat? You owe me compensation for my losses!
After typing this text, she still felt frustrated and indignant, but out of love for Li Xunfang, she restrained herself and expressed her request tactfully.
You've been in contact with Li Xunfang's team, haven't you? Back then, I spent a lot of money on gifts to help Li Xunfang climb the rankings, and I even hired a lot of online trolls to talk to her.
When we were sending gifts to boost our popularity, you said we were all like brothers and sisters, and that if we ever ran out of money, we could come to you and you could refund half the cost of the gifts.
I need your help. Could you refund part of the amount? I spent 100 million on gifts, but you only need to give me 10.
I promise this is the last time, and I will never contact you about this again...
She waited anxiously for the administrator's reply.
But this time, she will never see it again.
Because she was blocked.
Not only that, she was also kicked out of Li Xunfang's fan group!
In a fit of anger, fueled by love turned to hate, she anonymously posted their previous chat logs online, complaining about the inaction of Li Xunfang's fan club administrators!
This is what they call a good sister!
This is what it means to be a family!
Because of the genuine emotions and the fact that fans personally came forward to defend their idol, it even made it onto a minor trending topic.
[It's been said long ago that idol worship is unreliable, yet there are still people who are fanatically obsessed with it.]
[He can casually pull out 100 million; he's definitely from a wealthy family.]
That's how they rip off kids, promising they can get their money back, but they never will!
[Case solved! It turns out that all those things you said at the press conference were at the behest of Li Xunfang's team!]
What exactly is the grudge between Li Xunfang and Jinli? I remember their paths don't overlap, so why is she constantly targeting Jinli?
[Who says there's no overlap? Jin Li has snatched a lot of fashion resources from Li Xunfang, and even many luxury brand endorsements!]
[Are there still Li Xunfang's fans defending her? Even without Jin Li, Li Xunfang wouldn't have been able to get those luxury brands anyway. Don't blame your failures on others, making it sound like you're a talented person who hasn't been recognized.]
……
Because of the heated discussion among netizens, Li Xunfang's studio had to clarify the rumors.
The studio stated that the administrator was not an internal staff member, and that the group was not a public group but a private group.
The company did not incite netizens to make any comments that were detrimental to Jinli, and had no idea about this matter.
In summary, it is—
Don't look for me, it's pointless.
When asked, the answer is always the same: I don't know, I'm not sure.
Li Xunfang's studio did not contact Jinli's team to apologize for this incident because they simply did not acknowledge it!
But Sui Lingfang is a shrewd person. As soon as she looked at the chat history, she knew perfectly well that it was Li Xunfang's fan leader who was causing trouble.
Sui Lingfang called Jinli to talk about this, still puzzled.
"What grudge does Li Xunfang have against you? Why does she always seem to be picking on you? Is she specifically targeting you?"
She wasn't good at acting before, and when she tried to compete with you for acting opportunities, she couldn't win. Later, she wasn't as popular anymore, and she ended up playing supporting roles.
Now, thanks to her marriage, she has regained popularity and become a regular guest on popular variety shows. She is now trying to snatch endorsements from luxury brands and is specifically targeting her.
If it were a fair and square competition, where everyone relies on their own abilities, I wouldn't say anything. But resorting to these underhanded tricks behind the scenes reveals a petty and petty nature!
Jinli was also a little surprised when she heard about this.
However, she didn't care about Li Xunfang.
The entertainment industry is only so big, and resources are limited. If she wants to take them, so be it; if she can, that's her skill.
Jinli was more concerned about what would happen to the girl.
"How is the girl? Has she reconciled with her parents?"
Sui Lingfang: "I really don't know, I'll go and ask around."
Several days later, on the weekend, she finally found out.
Because the girl's phone had been confiscated by her parents and she could only go online on weekends, she saw the private message from Sui Lingfang's alternate account and replied to her:
Thank you for your concern. I've made up with my parents. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have trusted strangers so easily, shouldn't have spent money on so-called online friends, and shouldn't have immersed myself in a fake world...
Sui Lingfang sent a screenshot of the reply to Jinli, who nodded slightly after seeing it.
She was haunted by resentment, and although it was quite strong, she was young and could get rid of it quickly.
Her parents are responsible and willing to discipline her.
However, many young children are so immersed in the virtual world that their minds are poisoned by the internet.
Who can save these people?

"Sister Jinli, these are the outfits we'll be wearing for this afternoon's shoot. Which one would you like to wear?"
Jinli put down her phone and began to carefully select items.
This weekend, she went to Tiangong to photograph jewelry.
Jinli asked, "What's the theme of this afternoon's shoot?"
The assistant said, "A princess on the run."
Jinli thought for a while and then chose two sets.
One outfit was a horse riding uniform, and the other was a magnificent princess dress.
For each outfit, the Heavenly Palace has already provided matching jewelry.
Jinli is shooting three sets of jewelry this week, but each set of jewelry has two or three different outfits, with corresponding different hairstyles and makeup.
However, all of this was handled by the Heavenly Palace team, so the Jinli team didn't have much pressure with the makeup.
Jinli originally thought that the Heavenly Palace would bring out a collection-grade jewelry set.
However, during the photoshoot, she discovered that the jewelry she was wearing could only be considered between luxury and mid-luxury, and some accessories were priced as affordable luxury.
She realized that these jewels were probably the main products promoted by Tiangong this year, and were intended for the mass market.
If her previous photoshoots of jewelry worth hundreds of millions of yuan for the Heavenly Palace were intended to showcase the Heavenly Palace's image and cultural heritage...
Now, what the Heavenly Palace values is her ability to drive sales; they want her to stimulate consumer spending. (End of Chapter)
