Chapter 185 You've Got It All Covered

"I know a little bit..." Chen Qian drawled, "I still need to ask around to find out the specifics. But judging from the nature of this negative trending topic, things are quite tricky."

Jian Ning's expression darkened.

During this time, she focused on completing her mission in Ancheng and didn't notice anything unusual when she occasionally video-chatted with Nan Nan.

Jian Ning is also someone with slow internet speed and doesn't usually care much about gossip.

She stumbled upon the trending topic about the black search last night before bed when she was looking for updates from country C.

The five words "#ZhangNanAddsScenes" instantly caught her attention.

She quickly glanced through the comments and found that most of them were not very positive.

Such as:

[The screenwriter forcibly added scenes for the second female lead, ignoring the development of the main couple's relationship. Who is the screenwriter trying to disgust? What kind of backing forced this unknown actress into the role? I'm speechless.]

[Zhang Nan is getting more screen time; it's really good to have a big company backing you up.]

[I hate actors who add unnecessary scenes! Can't they go do something else? My Momo only gets to film one period drama every few years.]

[Can those who overact and create drama simply get out of the entertainment industry?]

[Fellow family members, does anyone understand? The threshold for becoming an actor is too low these days. How come even obscure, unknown idols can get second female leads?]

[Little Jasmine is determined to protect Momo; those with connections and ulterior motives won't be allowed to ruin this drama. The official team must provide an explanation, or Little Jasmine will not stand for it!]

[Is the official response dead? It's been a week, and they still haven't issued a response to the person who added drama? How powerful is her backing?]

[Rumor has it that the actress who got extra screen time is backed by a famous director in the Beijing film industry, so no one dares to mess with her. Poor Momo!]

Jian Ning noticed that most of the people on the list were Xia Momo's fans.

She skipped over the even harsher, more personally attacking ones.

In short, there are always haters every year. Those bad comments are directed at this company this year and that company next year, with the same words coming back and forth.

Watching it will only make me feel uncomfortable, so it's better not to watch it.

Moreover, judging from the comments, these negative trending topics must have lasted for quite some time.

She followed a few topics and looked at some of the previous ones.

The gist of the story is that Zhang Nan was accused of adding scenes for herself, disregarding the plot development. Despite being the second female lead, she insisted on adding more screen time, almost surpassing the female lead's role.

There were also photos of Xia Momo leaving the set with red eyes, looking like she had been crying. It's rumored that the scene she was filming that day was with Zhang Nan.

Xia Momo's fans, known as "Little Jasmine," launched a coordinated attack on Zhang Nan.

In short, what has been revealed are just video clips and rumors about crew members circulating online.

She didn't know the specifics of the situation.

All she knew was that her Nan Nan was being bullied.

Jian Ning would never stand idly by.

"Old Chen, could you please help me find out what's going on, and what's the best way to handle this negative trending topic?"

Jian Ning said in a low voice, then added, "Money is not an issue."

As for why not just ask Nan Nan directly.

Jian Ning knew Nan Nan's personality all too well.

These days, Nan Nan is always smiling in WeChat video calls; she's the type to only share good news and never bad, just like when she was sick last time.

Chen Qian raised his hand, clenched it into a fist, and pounded it against his chest. "I'll take care of this."

"Then as a token of my gratitude, I know a reclusive master here whose hair growth pills are extremely effective; everyone who has tried them raves about them." Jian Ning looked at his sparse hair, which screamed "malnutrition," and asked, "Do you...believe me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qian's eyes lit up.

While delicious food may satisfy one's appetite, this hair loss is a real source of pain for him.

With a wig on, his looks are no less than Daniel Wu's.

Without the wig, he looks no different from the picky shopkeeper at the convenience store near his neighborhood.

He subconsciously touched the few wisps of fine, limp hair on his head, then glanced at Jian Ning's thick, glossy black hair. "I believe you! I believe you!"

Jian Ning held out a hand: "I will give you this hair growth pill in five days."

Chen Qian extended a hand and gave her a high five: "Within five days, I'll make sure you get it all sorted out cleanly and neatly, you just wait."

After lunch, Chen picked a basket of strawberries and also chopped a few cabbages to take back with him.

He said it was to show respect to his master so that things would go smoothly.

Jian Ning took a picture of the basket of strawberries and posted it on her WeChat Moments.

After seeing Chen Qian off, Jian Ning returned to the villa and lay on the sofa watching TV.

This is Nan Nan's first drama, a low-budget, silly, and lighthearted web series, in which Nan Nan has quite a few scenes.

Although Jian Ning had watched it two or three times from beginning to end, she would still watch it again whenever she was bored.

Because whenever I see a funny scene, I can't help but burst out laughing, just like the first time I watched it.

Just then, Jian Ning's phone, which was on the coffee table, rang twice.

The notification sound for new WeChat messages.

She reached out and picked up her phone, only to see a message from someone with the nickname 'Fragrant Lily'.

"Boss, did you grow your own strawberries? [Cute smile.jpg]"

Jian Ning didn't even need to scroll up to see the messages the other party sent her every so often.

"Boss, you went back to your hometown for the New Year, right? When are you going back to Beicheng?"

"Boss, the New Year is over, when will you start selling vegetables again?"

"Boss, when will the vegetables be available?"

"Boss, could you sell me some vegetables ahead of time, okay?"

Even though Jian Ning reads her messages but doesn't reply, this "Fragrant Lily" sends her a WeChat message every few days, just like clockwork.

It's not impolite at all.

After all, whether or not to reply to WeChat messages is her own right.

You can reply if you want, or not if you don't.

For example, right now, she wanted to reply, so she typed "Mm".

The next second, WeChat displayed a message saying "The other party is typing," and two seconds later, a new message arrived in the chat.

Fragrant Lily: "These strawberries look delicious to me!"

Jian Ning replied, "It tastes even better."

In a manor in the northern part of the city.

The woman, holding her phone, jumped up and down in ecstasy.

"Ahhh, the boss actually replied to my message! Persistence pays off!"

Zeng Chao rubbed his ears, looking at his wife's frenzied appearance, and said in a tone of incomprehension, "Is she that excited? If you didn't know better, you'd think you'd spoken to Sun Wukong."

His wife's most invincible idol is Sun Wukong.

"What do you know?" the woman said coquettishly. "My boss posted strawberries on his WeChat Moments, and when I asked her about it, she replied instantly! Instant reply, do you know what that means?"

Zeng Chao shrugged: "I don't know what replying instantly means. I only know that if I don't reply to you instantly, I'll be in trouble."

The woman glared at him, and Zeng Chao immediately straightened his attitude, took his wife's hand, hugged her in his arms, and coaxed her gently: "Wife, don't forget, I'm the one who got the boss's WeChat for you."

"Hmph." The woman lay in his arms, continuing to type away, muttering, "This means that the probability of me buying strawberries from the boss is very high."

After replying to the message, the woman scrolled through the chat history. "Look, she never replied to me before."

Zeng Chao was a little angry: "She really has a big entourage, she doesn't even reply to your messages."

Upon hearing his tone, the woman immediately slapped his chest and explained for Jian Ning, "Why are you being so fierce? She's so busy, how could she play on her phone all day? She's cultivating such a big plot of land all by herself."
