Chapter 96 - He Wei’s Method
Even Yun Xiangxiang’s status earlier that said she was taken was dragged out as evidence of her relationship status.
Someone even snapped a photo of Yun Xiangxiang taking Fang Nanyuan’s watch by herself when she and Wei Shanshan went to purchase a watch. They were certain that that was a token of love for Fang Nanyuan.
Fang Nanyuan’s campus idol drama last year was a massive hit. He was more popular and had more fans than Yun Xiangxiang now.
One of them was a minor, while the other was a rising star. The scandal upset a great deal of people.
Fang Nanyuan called her when she was deep in thought, “I’m sorry, Xiangxiang. I don’t know why this piece of news would appear either. It’s my mistake this time. I’ll be more careful in the future.”
“It’s okay, we aren’t widely famous actors. Something as vague as this won’t whip up any following. But it still needs to be handled.”
She was MonRoe’s global ambassador now. However, her promotional video wasn’t publicly announced on their website. MonRoe could hold her accountable for this kind of negative news.
This was obviously done with malicious intent. She didn’t want it to grow bigger, “Control your fans. Don’t let them take part in any discussion of this piece. Try your best not to let any of this get into trending on Weibo.
She didn’t want to see it make its appearance; even if it was the tail end of trending on Weibo.
She picked up her phone to call He Wei, but he didn’t answer. He must have been in something. She believed that He Wei would handle it quickly though.
Yun Xiangxiang and Fang Nanyuan couldn’t clarify hastily when the readership of this issue wasn’t that large. It would be far too incriminating.
If this issue blew up and hit them in the face, nobody would believe anything they had to say then.

She could only toss it to the agency for them to handle.
This news vanished into thin air half an hour later. A news about a popular, handsome traffic star [1] having two escorts from a nightclub to accompany him got into trending on Weibo instead.
The pictures didn’t lie. Yun Xiangxiang heard about this actor before. He was a popular star who became a hotshot because of an ancient era trendy drama two years ago.
Even though he was widely popular, he didn’t have any hits last year. It shouldn’t be possible for his news to break into the third place of trending on Weibo.
He Wei called Yun Xiangxiang at this moment, “I was driving just now. I have already dealt with the news.”
“Then the news about the escorts from the nightclub...”
Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t a newbie. She was in this circle in her previous life. Not many affairs could have evaded her sharp senses. This piece of explosive news came too on time.
She didn’t think that He Wei was someone that could do something as unscrupulous as exposing the shortcomings of other actors just to protect his own. Even if they were really morally bankrupt; even if he knew about it, he wouldn’t stoop so low just to distract everyone else.
“He’s competing with Fang Nanyuan for the main male protagonist of a big production. It’s a remake of a martial arts drama,” He Wei didn’t really want to let Yun Xiangxiang know at first. But since she asked, He Wei gave a simple hint as a show of satisfaction toward her keenness.
“So I’m collateral damage,” Yun Xiangxiang sighed softly.
She asked about it because of the influence brought by Zhu Yuan’s news earlier. She was unsure about whether she was the one who implicated Fang Nanyuan or the other way around in this. So now it seemed like it wasn’t done by anyone who had a grudge against her.
“Brother Wei, I think that someone’s trying to sabotage me,” She still informed He Wei beforehand all the same.
“Alright, got it. I’ll make sure everything’s okay, and I’ll have them to be more on guard,” He Wei said to her.
This was the upside of having an agency. They would collaborate with various media. Some news would be stopped even when they haven’t made it to release.
The massive network possessed by a great agent absolutely wasn’t only limited to resource providing for the actors. Everything else about the actors and their work was included in the service. It was basically a full package.
Moreover, He Wei was the greatest among the greats in this.
Even though there were no issues coming from this; even though her fans scarcely knew about it, Yun Xiangxiang was still on high alert. On the other hand, He Wei praised Song Meng as being witty on this matter.
Song Meng lost sleep because of exhilaration when Yun Xiangxiang told her what He Wei said.
Song Meng had always been one of those who chased after stars. However, once she attended university and decided to become a qualified agent after truly coming into contact with mass communication, she regarded He Wei as her new Prince Charming.
“What is it? Smells nice,” Ai Li was the one who picked her up after school that afternoon. Yun Xiangxiang caught a whiff of aromatic scent once she entered her house, “What are you trying to decoct?”
“Aromatic bath [3]. It’s for you to dip in,” Song Qian answered. “The young master sent this to complement your training. It’s got nine different types of flowers in it. Of course it’s fragrant.”
Yun Xiangxiang’s eyes shone. She went over, “Will I smell exceptionally nice by bathing in this aromatic bath made using ancient prescriptions? Like the Fragrant Concubine?” [4]
“This is just a prescription to stimulate your blood circulation and increase your skin’s elasticity...” Song Qian looked at Yun Xiangxiang resignedly.
“In other words, it’s a prescription that can make your whole body radiate fragrance, right?” Yun Xiangxiang was very persistent about this
“Yes,” Song Qian nodded, “But I don’t recommend you using it.”
“Why!?” Yun Xiangxiang was a woman who loved to be pretty!
“Your goal is too lofty. You’re a public figure. Do you want to attract all those bees like how the Fragrant Concubine did?”
Song Qian rolled her eyes at Yun Xiangxiang, “Besides, this type of fragrance can only be sustained by being inside your pores and remaining in your skin tissues. It can block your skin to an extent. You have to know that no fragrance of flowers can be kept forever. They’ll smell pungent once the fluorescence is over. You have to use it periodically to keep it from smelling spoiled...”
“Alright, alright. I give up,” Yun Xiangxiang raised her hands in surrender.
But Song Qian still pressed her acupuncture spots during the evening bath time to increase absorption. Yun Xiangxiang felt light when she got massaged by Song Qian. It felt a hundred thousands times better than when she did spa in her previous life. She felt sleepy.
“Qianqian, I don’t even feel sorry for spending a million yuan on hiring you now.” It was a great bargain!
“Don’t sleep,” Song Qian pulled Yun Xiangxiang who was looking soft right now up. “Now is the best time to train!”
“What!” Her world collapsed. She stared at Song Qian incredulously
She was never someone indolent. However, forcing her to be apart from her bed now was as cruel and heartless as Gargamel was to the Smurfs.
“You can sleep if you don’t want to train,” Song Qian gazed at Yun Xiangxiang coolly.
“Ah...” Yun Xiangxiang still sluggishly got up after wailing miserably.
But she only knew what true misery was and what gut-wrenching pain was when she started training.
Yun Xiangxiang finally felt that what she went through during the filming of “University Dream” was really nothing. She was in so much pain, she couldn’t even stop her tears from streaming down now.
“The young master infused an appropriate amount of painkillers in the bath. Or else you would be in more pain,” Song Qian was freezing cold when she trained Yun Xiangxiang, “It’ll get better after the first week.”
