After I died, they cried in the live studio

Chapter 118 Benefits
At this moment, the door of the studio was slammed open, and Lin Yue rushed in with disheveled hair. Her hair was scattered on her face, her eyes were burning with anger and unwillingness, and she walked straight towards the director with staggering but firm steps.

"Director!" Lin Yue's voice was sharp and urgent, instantly interrupting the filming rhythm on the set. Everyone present turned their heads and all their eyes fell on her, causing an uproar at the scene.

The director frowned and looked at Lin Yue with displeasure: "Lin Yue, why are you here? You are not in a good condition to come to the set. Go back and rest!"

Lin Yue, however, acted as if she didn't hear anything. She rushed to the director, pointed her finger at Su Ran, and shouted, "Director, you can't use Su Ran! She got to the top through unfair means! She colluded with Sang Jiuyue and deliberately tampered with my drink to make me sick, just to replace me!"

As soon as these words came out, the set exploded. The staff members were talking to each other, their eyes wandering back and forth between Lin Yue and Su Ran. Su Ran's face turned pale instantly, and her heart tightened, but she quickly calmed down, with a wronged expression on her face: "Sister Lin Yue, please don't slander me, how could I do such a thing? I have always respected you and cherished this opportunity, which was all won through my own efforts."

The director's face became increasingly gloomy. He raised his voice with obvious dissatisfaction in his tone: "Lin Yue, if you can't produce evidence, don't slander me here! This is a film set, not a place for you to run wild! The shooting schedule is already tight, and we can't stand your tossing and turning!"

Lin Yue's eyes turned red with anxiety and tears welled up in them. She hurriedly took out her cell phone from her bag and said in a trembling voice, "I have evidence. I have suspected them for a long time and have been collecting clues! I saw Sang Jiuyue and Su Ran meeting secretly before and behaving in a sneaky manner." As she spoke, she flipped through some blurry photos, in which Sang Jiuyue and Su Ran could indeed be seen talking in the car.

However, the director only took a quick glance and waved his hand impatiently: "Just based on these few photos? What can this prove? Lin Yue, you really disappoint me today. You are in a very bad state now. Go back and adjust yourself, and don't affect the filming anymore."

Lin Yue was angry and anxious, her body was shaking, and she almost broke down and shouted: "You have all been deceived by her! I will not let this go!" Her voice echoed in the set, full of despair and unwillingness.

At this time, Zhang, a senior executive of Alice Company, rushed over after hearing the news. He was wearing a neat suit and had a stern look on his face. As soon as he entered the set, he quickly walked to Lin Yue and said in a low but stern voice: "Come back to the company with me!" Then he turned to the director and smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Lin Yue is in poor health and her emotions are out of control. We will definitely deal with it seriously. Don't worry, it will definitely not affect the shooting progress again."

Lin Yue wanted to struggle, but was dragged away by her agent and Mr. Zhang. She turned her head as she walked away, staring at Su Ran intently, as if she wanted to eat Su Ran alive.

But Lin Yue didn't know that all this was part of Sang Jiuyue's plan. Sang Jiuyue had long anticipated that Lin Yue would cause a scene on the set, and had Su Ran place a miniature camera in a hidden place in advance to record everything. After Lin Yue was taken away, Su Ran sent the video to Sang Jiuyue when no one was paying attention.

Sang Jiuyue watched the video with a sneer on her lips. She immediately contacted several entertainment media, released the video anonymously, and bribed internet trolls to influence the trend.

For a time, topics such as "Lin Yue made a scene on the set and slandered the newcomer" and "Lin Yue lost his mind due to illness and was full of nonsense" quickly became hot searches. Netizens accused Lin Yue of being a big shot and maliciously slandering the newcomer. The public relations department of Alice Company was overwhelmed and issued an emergency statement to try to clarify, but was drowned by the overwhelming negative public opinion.

Sang Jiuyue looked at the one-sided public opinion on the Internet, leaned back on the sofa, sipped a sip of red wine comfortably, picked up the phone and sent a message to Su Ran: "Well done, let's wait and see how Alice Company responds next."

Inside Alice Company, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe. In the conference room, smoke filled the air, and the senior executives sat together, discussing countermeasures with solemn expressions. Mr. Zhang took a long puff of his cigarette, pressed the cigarette butt hard into the ashtray, and said, "This matter is very difficult. Public opinion is very unfavorable to us. We must find a way to save the situation as soon as possible."

At this time, Chen Lin, the marketing manager who had been silent, spoke up: "I think we can start with Su Ran. Since Lin Yue suspects that she and Sang Jiuyue are in collusion, we can send someone to investigate. As long as we find evidence, we can turn the situation around."

Mr. Zhang frowned, thought for a moment and said, "You can try, but you must be careful about the method and not alert the enemy. Also, as for Lin Yue, let her have a good rest first, and don't let anything go wrong during this period."

Meanwhile, although Su Ran continued filming as if nothing had happened, she was very nervous in her heart. She knew that this matter would not end so easily, and Alice Company would definitely not let it go. When she got home at night, she lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and Lin Yue's angry face and the strange looks from everyone on the set kept appearing in her mind.

After Lin Yue returned to the company, she locked herself in her room and refused to eat or drink. She was filled with resentment and anger. She was unwilling to let Su Ran take away her role, and even more unwilling to be slandered but unable to seek justice. The agent knocked on the door and gently advised: "Yueyue, open the door and eat something. There will always be a way to solve the problem."

Lin Yue turned a deaf ear to them and just looked out the window with empty and desperate eyes. She secretly vowed to find evidence and make Su Ran and Sang Jiuyue pay the price.

As the days passed, Alice's investigation made some progress. They found that Su Ran and Sang Jiuyue did have frequent contacts, and before Lin Yue's accident, Su Ran's bank account suddenly had a large transfer of unknown origin. However, these evidences were not enough to prove their conspiracy, and the investigation came to a standstill.

At this time, Sang Jiuyue was not idle. She knew that Alice Company would not give up, so she began to plan the next move. She planned to use her connections in the entertainment industry to put pressure on Alice Company, so that they would be too busy to take care of themselves and completely give up the pursuit of Su Ran.

Sang Jiuyue met with a media tycoon who was quite influential in the entertainment industry. In a luxurious restaurant box, the two had a pleasant conversation. Sang Jiuyue smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I have to trouble you for a favor this time. Alice Company has been a little naive recently and always goes against me. Can you give them some trouble in the media?"

Mr. Li picked up the wine glass, took a sip of red wine, and said with a smile: "Miss Sang asked, I will naturally not refuse. But what are you going to do this time?"

Sang Jiuyue's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and she said, "I want you to expose some negative information about other artists under Alice Company to divert the public's attention so that they have no time to care about Lin Yue's affairs."

Mr. Li frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Isn't this a bit too harsh? After all, we are all in this circle."

Sang Jiuyue sneered and said, "In this circle, how can you survive without being ruthless? Mr. Li, don't worry, as long as you do me this favor, if you need me, Sang Jiuyue, in the future, just let me know."

Mr. Li weighed the pros and cons again and again, and finally nodded: "Okay, for Miss Sang's sake, I will help you this time."

A few days later, negative news about several artists under Alice Company suddenly broke out on the Internet, including scandals and rumors of tax evasion. For a time, the focus of public opinion shifted again, and Alice Company fell into a greater crisis.

After hearing the news, Lin Yue completely collapsed. She felt that she was abandoned by the whole world and all her efforts were in vain. She sat in the dark room, tears streaming down her face, and the hatred in her heart became stronger.

Lin Yue returned to the company in a state of despair, locking herself in the room like a lonely bird hiding in its nest after being injured. She curled up in a dark corner, and the silence around her was like a silent laugh, surrounding her tightly. The pain of being betrayed and slandered was like a sharp knife, piercing deep into her heart, and the despair of her acting career was like a surging tide, completely drowning her. She felt that all the efforts she had made over the years were ruthlessly crushed by Su Ran and Sang Jiuyue's conspiracy, and the future seemed to be shrouded in thick darkness, with no glimmer of hope.

After an unknown amount of time, a gentle knock on the door broke the deathly silence, and Alice's gentle and caring voice came from the outside: "Yueyue, it's me, can you open the door?" Lin Yue's body trembled slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, she dragged her heavy steps and slowly opened the door. The moment she saw Alice, the grievances and pain accumulated in her heart were like a flood that broke through the dam, and she could no longer control it. Tears burst out of her eyes: "Alice, what should I do? They don't believe me, and my career is over." Her voice was crying, trembling violently, and her shoulders were shaking constantly.

Alice looked at Lin Yue with heartache, hugged her gently, patted her back, and comforted a wounded child: "Yueyue, don't cry yet, things are not irreversible. I believe in you, always." She helped Lin Yue sit down on the sofa, looked at Lin Yue's eyes sincerely and firmly, and said seriously: "The director's attitude this time must have his own considerations, but this does not mean that you are not excellent. The unspoken rules in the entertainment industry are indeed disgusting, but everyone can see your strength, and those dirty things can't affect you at all. Your acting skills have been polished, and every effort in every scene will not be in vain. Those darkness can never cover up your light."

Lin Yue smiled bitterly and shook her head, her voice full of bitterness and despair: "But Alice, look at the Internet, it's flooded with voices scolding me. My career... I'm afraid it's completely ruined." Her eyes were empty, full of confusion and helplessness.

Alice held Lin Yue's hand tightly, her tone firm and unquestionable: "Yueyue, those negative opinions are only temporary, just like a storm, they come and go quickly. The company will not give up on you, and neither will I. Next, I will use all resources to connect you with better projects and help you get back on track. You have always worked so hard and your acting skills are excellent. You interpret every role with your heart. As long as you don't give up, you will definitely have your highlight moment. This is just a small setback in your acting career. Once you get over it, you will have a bright future."

As Lin Yue listened to Alice's words, a glimmer of hope gradually ignited in her eyes: "Alice, is that true? But I'm so confused now, I don't know where to start again." There was a hint of expectation and some uncertainty in her voice.

"Of course it's true!" Alice looked at Lin Yue, her eyes full of encouragement and trust, "You should adjust your condition first and take care of your body. Relax during this period of time, do something you like, and adjust your mood. As for work, I have already contacted several reliable directors and producers. If there is a script suitable for you, I will give it to you as soon as possible. Let's take it step by step, don't rush, and take back what we have lost. I believe you have the ability and courage."

Lin Yue nodded vigorously, holding Alice's hand tightly with both hands, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She secretly vowed to work harder, live up to Alice's trust, and create a bright future for herself in this darkness.

Lin Yue locked herself in the room, staring out the window with empty eyes, her heart filled with resentment at being schemed against by Su Ran and Sang Jiuyue, and despair at the collapse of her career. The overwhelming negative public opinion, like a cold tide, completely drowned her.

At this time, Alice gently pushed open the door, with a bit of fatigue on her face. The company had been overwhelmed by Lin Yue's affairs and the news about other bad artists during this period, but the moment she saw Lin Yue, there was only concern in her eyes.

"Yueyue." Alice called softly, with soothing in her voice.

Lin Yue turned around and saw Alice. Her eyes instantly turned red and she said aggrievedly, "Alice, what should I do? Everyone is scolding me. My career is ruined."

Alice walked over to Lin Yue and sat down. She gently held her hand and said, "Yueyue, I understand your pain now, but you must cheer up. You have to believe that I have never doubted you. Your strength and hard work are obvious to everyone. Those false accusations cannot defeat a truly capable person."

Lin Yue smiled bitterly and shook her head: "But now the Internet is full of malicious intent towards me, and I feel like I can never turn things around again."

Alice patted Lin Yue's hand and said seriously, "Negative public opinion is only temporary. The wind direction in the entertainment industry changes very quickly. You know, I am still dealing with news about other bad artists in the company. I am very busy, but even so, I still came to see you as soon as possible because I am worried about you and I believe in you. I hope you can be strong and brave, and don't be defeated by this setback."

She looked into Lin Yue's eyes and continued, "Think about it, why did you enter this industry in the first place? It was to realize your dream, right? Now that this little difficulty has defeated you, how can you continue in this circle in the future? You have to cheer up and adjust your state. When the storm is over, opportunities will always come again."

Lin Yue felt a little warm in her heart when she heard Alice's words, but she was still a little hesitant: "Alice, can I really still do it?"

Alice nodded firmly: "Of course you can! You have acting skills and potential. As long as you don't give up, you will be able to stand up again. You have to be a strong and brave person. I will always support you."

Lin Yue took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "Okay, Alice, I'll listen to you, I will cheer up."

Alice smiled with relief: "That's right, I'll wait for the day when you shine again."

Lin Yue dragged her still weak body into the studio. The afternoon sun was so hot that it was a little dazzling, but her heart was shrouded in haze. Everything here was as familiar as her dream. Every corner was filled with her former longings and sweat. However, what greeted her at this moment was endless complexity and anxiety. Not far away, Su Ran was surrounded by a group of staff members, smiling sweetly. Her gentle and kind appearance looked like a harmless little white rabbit. But Lin Yue knew that this was just her disguise. Under this seemingly beautiful appearance, there was a dark and cold heart. All the past things came to her mind like a tide. Those days when Su Ran secretly framed her, every memory was like a sharp knife, stabbing Lin Yue. When she first joined the crew, Su Ran deliberately tampered with her cosmetics, causing her skin to be allergic and in very poor condition in front of the camera, and was severely reprimanded by the director; another time, before an important audition, Su Ran sent someone to steal her script, causing her to miss an important role.

At this time, the director came over with a look of concern and expectation: "Lin Yue, it's great that you're back. This time I arrange for you to take over Su Ran's previous supporting role. Although you don't have many scenes, it is very crucial. You must seize it well." Lin Yue forced a smile and nodded vigorously: "Director, don't worry, I will not let you down." She knew in her heart that this role was her chance to return to the stage, and it was also a new starting point for her silent contest with Su Ran.

As soon as she reached the rest area, Su Ran came over with a sweet smile on her face. Her voice was as gentle as a spring breeze: "Lin Yue, you are finally back. Everyone missed you so much." Lin Yue looked at her hypocritical appearance and felt disgusted, but she still forced herself to smile and responded with the same sweet smile: "Sister Su Ran, I miss everyone too, especially you, who have always taken care of me so well." Their eyes met, and there seemed to be a subtle smell of gunpowder in the air.

In the following days, Lin Yue devoted herself to the role. She came to the set early every day, read the script repeatedly, and communicated with the director about the details of the role. When others were resting, she would look in the mirror to figure out the character's expressions and movements, striving to make every detail perfect. And Su Ran always seemed to observe her casually, and occasionally came over to give a few instructions in a hypocritical manner. Lin Yue accepted it humbly every time, but she sneered in her heart. She knew that Su Ran was testing her to see if she was still as easily angered as before.

Once, when filming a crucial rival scene, Su Ran deliberately stole the show in front of the camera and disrupted Lin Yue's rhythm. She frequently moved to block Lin Yue, and deliberately spoke her lines vaguely, making it difficult for Lin Yue to follow the scene. Lin Yue almost had a tantrum on the spot, but she remembered her plan and suppressed her anger. After the filming, the director said to the two of them with some dissatisfaction: "You two should pay attention to your cooperation. This scene is very important. We will reshoot it tomorrow." Su Ran said innocently: "Director, I'm so sorry. Maybe I was too involved and didn't pay attention to the rhythm. Sister Lin Yue, don't take it to heart." Lin Yue gritted her teeth and said with a smile: "Sister Su Ran, it's okay, I didn't cooperate well."

After returning home, Lin Yue threw herself on the bed, feeling aggrieved and angry. She recalled that she always impulsively fought back after being framed by Su Ran, which only put her in a worse situation every time. This time, she told herself that she must stay calm and deal with it with wisdom and patience. She clenched her fists in the dark and swore secretly: "Su Ran, just wait for me, I won't let you succeed easily again."

As the filming progressed, Lin Yue's acting skills became more and more sophisticated, and her understanding and interpretation of the role was recognized by the director and other staff. Her performance was delicate and real, and she interpreted the character's emotional changes vividly, which moved many people. Su Ran watched Lin Yue gradually gain everyone's attention, and the fire of jealousy in her heart burned more and more, and she began to plan a more vicious conspiracy.

One day, Lin Yue came to the set as usual, but found that her script had been tampered with, and the lines on it were changed beyond recognition. She was shocked and thought of Su Ran at the first time. At this moment, Su Ran came over and asked with pretended concern: "Lin Yue, what's wrong with you? You don't look very well." Lin Yue looked at her coldly and said, "Sister Su Ran, my script has been changed. Do you know what happened?" Su Ran was surprised: "Ah? How could this happen? I don't know, maybe someone else made a mistake by accident?" Lin Yue watched her performance and sneered in her heart. She knew that Su Ran was deliberately pretending to be innocent.

Lin Yue did not expose Su Ran on the spot, she decided to play along. She quickly adjusted her state, relying on her familiarity with the script and super memory, she performed perfectly during the filming. The director praised her performance, but Su Ran's face became very ugly.

During the break in filming, Lin Yue found Su Ran and whispered, "Sister Su Ran, do you think I am still the same Lin Yue who let you bully me? You are wrong. I will not let you destroy my dreams again. I will remember what happened today." Su Ran's face changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and said with a smile, "Lin Yue, what are you talking about? I really don't understand." Lin Yue ignored her and turned away.

Since then, Lin Yue has been more cautious. She always pays attention to Su Ran's every move, and at the same time, she continues to improve her acting skills and strength. She signed up for various acting courses to learn different acting techniques, and also studied classic film and television works to absorb the essence of performance. In an important media interview, the reporter asked Lin Yue about her views on this return and the role. Lin Yue smiled and said: "Every role is an opportunity for growth. No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will stick to it. I believe that as long as I work hard, I will be able to realize my dream." Her answer won applause from the reporters present, and also made Su Ran feel unprecedented pressure.

As the filming drew to a close, the conflict between Lin Yue and Su Ran became more intense. In the last big scene, Su Ran tried to sabotage again. She deliberately made Lin Yue drink a drink containing sleeping pills before the filming, hoping that Lin Yue would be in low spirits during the filming. After Lin Yue drank the drink, she soon felt dizzy, but she knew that this was Su Ran's last madness and she must not lose.

In front of the camera, Lin Yue held on to her spirits and completed the scene perfectly with her tenacious perseverance and superb acting skills. Her eyes revealed determination and indomitable spirit, which fully demonstrated the character's emotions. The director stood up and applauded excitedly: "Lin Yue, you are great! This is the effect I want." Su Ran looked at Lin Yue, his eyes full of shock and unwillingness.

After the filming, Lin Yue couldn't bear it anymore. She walked up to Su Ran and said coldly: "Su Ran, your tricks are over. From today on, the grudge between us is wiped out. But if you dare to hurt me and the people I care about again, I will never let you go." After that, she turned and left, leaving Su Ran standing there in a daze.

Walking out of the set, Lin Yue took a deep breath, the sun shining on her face, she felt an unprecedented sense of relief. She knew that she was no longer the little girl who was bullied by others. In this competition with Su Ran, she not only won the role, but also won her dignity and future. She raised her head and looked into the distance, her heart full of expectations and longings for the future of her acting career. She believed that as long as she persisted, she would be able to shine the most dazzling light on this stage.

Lin Yue dragged her tired body back to the lounge from the set. As soon as she sat down to catch her breath, her cell phone rang rapidly. The caller ID showed Alice, and Lin Yue quickly answered the call. Alice's anxious and serious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Lin Yue, I just found out that the person behind Su Ran is Mr. Qi, and he is the one who instigated all the things against you."

Hearing the word "Boss Qi", Lin Yue froze instantly, and her mind quickly flashed back to the scenes of being bullied and framed when she was with Su Ran. Only then did she realize that there was such a big conspiracy behind it. She clenched her hands in anger, her eyes reddened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "It turned out to be him! I never thought that Boss Qi would do these little tricks behind my back, I will never let it go!"

As the CEO of Lin Yue's company, Alice has always admired Lin Yue's efforts and talents, and feels sorry for the unfair treatment she suffered in the crew. "Lin Yue, don't be impulsive. Mr. Qi has a wide network of contacts and influence in the industry. We can't act rashly." Alice tried to calm Lin Yue down and deal with it rationally.

"Sister Alice, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I have been hurt so badly by them during this period of time, I really can't swallow this!" Lin Yue thought of the days when Su Ran and Mr. Qi plotted against her, and grievances, anger and unwillingness surged into her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"I understand how you feel, and I will never let you suffer in vain." Alice's tone was firm and powerful. "Let's collect evidence first and record all the actions of President Qi and Su Ran against you. Then we can find a way to expose them and let everyone see their true colors."

Lin Yue took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "Sister Alice, thank you, I'll listen to you. What should we do next?"

Alice pondered for a moment and said, "From now on, you should act as usual on the set and don't let Su Ran know that we have discovered the truth. I will arrange for reliable people to collect dirt on Mr. Qi and Su Ran, especially evidence of their unfair competition and suppression of newcomers in the industry. At the same time, we can also contact some artists who have been bullied by them and unite to fight against them."

In the days that followed, Lin Yue acted as if nothing had happened and filmed the show seriously, but in fact, he kept an eye on Su Ran's every move and secretly recorded her bad behavior. Alice used her connections and resources to find out about Mr. Qi's handles and contacted several artists who had been suppressed by Mr. Qi. They hit it off and decided to jointly expose Mr. Qi's evil deeds.

Finally, at an industry summit, Alice joined forces with many artists and brought sufficient evidence to the media to expose what Qi and Su Ran had done. For a time, public opinion was in an uproar, and everyone condemned Qi and Su Ran's bad behavior.

President Qi and Su Ran were in an unprecedented crisis. Their reputation plummeted, and many partners terminated their cooperation. Lin Yue watched all this, and the haze that had been pent up in her heart for a long time finally dissipated. She came to Alice's office, her eyes full of gratitude: "Sister Alice, thanks to you, without you, I really don't know what to do."

Alice smiled and patted Lin Yue on the shoulder: "This is all the result of your own hard work and persistence. There is still a long way to go. Keep working hard. I believe you will shine in your acting career."

Lin Yue nodded vigorously, with a determined light in her eyes. She knew that there might be bumps in her future acting career, but with the support of Alice and a group of like-minded partners, she was full of courage and confidence to meet all challenges.

In the afternoon, the sunlight poured unreservedly into the city's busiest shopping mall. Lin Yue, dressed in simple casual clothes, strolled among the dazzling array of shops. She shuttled among the crowd, surrounded by the sound of conversation and the soft music on the mall radio. The exquisite goods in the window reflected the light, but Lin Yue's mind was not on shopping at all.

During this period, the scenes of being made difficult by Su Ran on the set kept appearing in her mind. During the filming, Su Ran deliberately stole the spotlight, causing her to reshoot many times; she said bad things about her in front of the director, causing her to be misunderstood by the director; and she even caused trouble in the dressing room, causing her to lose her state on the important filming day. These experiences made Lin Yue full of fatigue and resentment. She tried to relieve her boredom by shopping, but those unpleasant memories followed her like a shadow.

Just as she was lost in thought, the phone in her bag suddenly rang, breaking her thoughts. She took out her phone and saw the words "Alice" flashing on the screen. Lin Yue frowned slightly, and a bad feeling came over her. Alice was the CEO of the company and was busy with work on weekdays, so she rarely contacted her at this time. She took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.

Before she could open her mouth to greet him, Alice's anxious and serious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Lin Yue, are you free now? There is something I must tell you right away." Lin Yue subconsciously grabbed the phone, stood up straight, and her voice unconsciously tense: "Sister Alice, I'm free, tell me, is there something wrong?"

"The person behind Su Ran's targeting of you on the crew during this period is Sang Jiuyue." Alice's words were like a bombshell, instantly causing a storm in Lin Yue's world.

"Sang Jiuyue? Who is he? I don't even know him, why are you targeting me?" Lin Yue's face was filled with astonishment, and her voice unconsciously rose, trembling with disbelief. The crowd around her was still bustling, but Lin Yue seemed to be in another silent world, and could only hear her own rapid heartbeat.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, and then Alice's voice came slowly, with a bit of solemnity: "Sang Jiuyue was originally a well-known figure in the entertainment industry, but he had evil intentions and was determined to get to the top through crooked means. In order to purify the atmosphere of the industry, the company previously exposed his black material of suppressing newcomers and malicious competition. Since then, he has been holding a grudge and has been looking for an opportunity to retaliate. This time, he set his sights on you."

Lin Yue listened quietly, and the days when Su Ran had made things difficult for her came flooding back to her mind. Thinking of this, Lin Yue's heart was filled with rage. She tightly grasped the phone, her knuckles turning white from the force, and her nails almost embedded in her palms. Passersby looked at her curiously, and then left in a hurry. No one knew the turmoil in her heart at the moment.

"Lin Yue, can you understand the company's approach? We were also trying to maintain fairness and justice in the industry at the time." There was a hint of worry in Alice's voice. She was worried that Lin Yue would become dissatisfied with the company because of this.

Lin Yue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and said, "Sister Alice, I understand. People like Sang Jiuyue will do anything to achieve their goals. He has it all to blame for what he did. If it weren't for you, I don't know how many newcomers like me would have been harmed by him."

After hearing what Lin Yue said, Alice's worries immediately dissipated. She smiled with relief and said, "Lin Yue, I'm glad you think so. I'm sorry for letting you get involved in this dispute for no reason this time. But don't worry, the company will definitely protect you and won't let you get hurt again."

Lin Yue's eyes were slightly red, and a warm current surged in her heart. She said gratefully: "Sister Alice, thank you. If you hadn't been supporting me all this time, I really don't know what to do. In the future, as long as the company needs me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that." Alice's tone was firm and powerful. "We have to plan carefully next. We can't let Sang Jiuyue's conspiracy succeed. He will definitely not give up and will come up with various ways to deal with us."

Lin Yue nodded and said, "Sister Alice, what do you say? I'll listen to you."

Alice pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, you have to keep a low profile in the crew and don't let Su Ran realize that we already know about her relationship with Sang Jiuyue. You still have to film seriously as usual and do your job well. Only in this way can they let down their guard."

"Well, I understand. I will continue to film well." Lin Yue answered seriously. At this time, the radio in the mall was playing cheerful music, which was in sharp contrast to her serious conversation.

"Secondly, I will arrange for people to collect more evidence against Sang Jiuyue and Su Ran. Since they dare to do these bad things, they will definitely leave clues. We must find all these evidences, and then expose their true faces in front of the public, so that they will never be able to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry again." Alice's voice revealed an unquestionable determination.

"Okay, Sister Alice. I'll also keep an eye on Su Ran's every move here on the set, and I'll let you know as soon as there's any situation." Lin Yue volunteered. Her eyes fell on the huge crystal chandelier in the center of the mall, and her eyes were firm.

"Also, you have to pay attention to your own safety. Sang Jiuyue is capable of doing anything, and I'm afraid he will do something bad to you. If you encounter any danger, be sure to call the police in time and then contact me." Alice warned with concern.

"I will, Sister Alice, don't worry. I will take good care of myself." Lin Yue's heart was deeply moved. She didn't expect that Alice was so concerned about her safety at such a tense moment.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yue stood in the middle of the mall, and the noise around her seemed to fade away. She looked at the people coming and going in the mall, and swore in her heart: "Sang Jiuyue, you wait, I will never let you succeed. I will make you pay for what you did." After that, she took a deep breath, straightened her back, and walked towards the mall exit with firm steps, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.

The afternoon sun lazily sprinkles on the street cafe. Outside the glass window, the hustle and bustle of the city surges like a tide, and pedestrians rush to their own lives. In the cafe, soothing jazz music flows in every inch of the air, and the soft notes and the aroma of coffee interweave to create a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

Su Ran, wearing a simple black dress, pushed open the door of the coffee shop with a slightly nervous look. Her eyes quickly swept through the store and soon locked onto Sang Jiuyue, who was sitting by the window in the corner.
