After I died, they cried in the live studio

Chapter 119 The handle
Su Ran took a deep breath, calmed herself, and walked towards Sang Jiyue. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground was particularly clear in the quiet coffee shop, and every step seemed to step on her uneasy heart. "Sister Jiyue." Su Ran walked to the table and called softly.

Sang Jiuyue slowly turned her head, her eyes fell on Su Ran, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Come on, sit down." She pointed to the seat opposite, her voice was neither hurried nor slow, revealing an innate arrogance.

As soon as Su Ran sat down, she couldn't wait to speak: "Sister Ji Yue, after the filming was completed this time, I always felt that something was wrong. Isn't our targeting of Lin Yue a bit too obvious this time?" She clenched her hands unconsciously and placed them under the table, trembling slightly.

Sang Jiuyue gently put down the coffee cup in her hand, picked up the tissue on the table, wiped the corner of her mouth gracefully, and then said calmly: "What's wrong? She's just a young girl who has just started out, what kind of trouble can she cause?" There was a trace of disdain in her eyes, as if Lin Yue was just an insignificant ant in her eyes.

Su Ran frowned, the worry on her face becoming more and more obvious: "But Sister Ji Yue, as for Alice... She is the CEO of Lin Yue Company, she has extensive connections and many means. If she finds out that we are behind it and investigates, we may not be in good shape." She lowered her voice, fearing that people around them would hear their conversation.

Sang Jiuyue sneered and leaned back in her chair, her eyes full of disapproval: "Alice? What can she do? We are always careful in doing things, what can she catch?" She paused, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, "Besides, if we don't take this opportunity to completely suppress Lin Yue, when she gains a foothold in the entertainment industry, it will be a big trouble in the future."

Su Ran bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Sister Jiyue, I always feel that Lin Yue is a little different recently. Before, when I made things difficult for her, she would always fight back directly, but now, she seems to have become much more tolerant. I'm worried that she has noticed something and is secretly preparing to fight back."

Sang Jiuyue sat up straight, her eyes became sharp, and she stared at Su Ran closely: "Are you sure?" Su Ran nodded, "I'm sure, her behavior on the set recently is very strange. Although on the surface she is still filming as seriously as before, I can feel that she is deliberately paying attention to my every move."

Sang Jiuyue's fingers tapped the tabletop rhythmically, and she fell into deep thought. After a moment, she raised her head, her eyes firm: "No matter what she noticed, as long as there is no evidence, she can't do anything to us. You continue to keep an eye on her, and if she makes any moves, report to me immediately."

Su Ran sighed helplessly, "Okay, Sister Jiyue, I get it. But I still think that we should be more careful in the future and not be so blatant, so as not to cause more trouble."

Sang Jiuyue frowned slightly and said impatiently: "Okay, I know what I'm doing. Don't always be so timid. How can someone who wants to accomplish great things hesitate?" She picked up the coffee on the table and took another sip, as if trying to calm herself down.

Su Ran lowered her head and stopped talking. She knew that once Sang Jiuyue made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. She looked out the window, watching the people coming and going on the street, and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in her heart. She suddenly felt like a bird caught in the center of a storm, getting deeper and deeper in the battle with Lin Yue and Alice, but she didn't know how to get out.

At this time, in a dessert shop not far from the coffee shop, Lin Yue was sitting by the window, quietly watching Su Ran and Sang Jiuyue in the coffee shop opposite. She held a cup of ice cream in her hand, stirring it gently with a spoon, but her face did not show the slightest pleasure of enjoying the food. Her eyes were firm and calm, as if she was planning something.

"Finally, the truth is revealed." Lin Yue whispered to herself, with a slight smile on her face. She put down the spoon in her hand, took out her cell phone, and called Alice.

"Sister Alice, I saw Su Ran and Sang Jiuyue meeting in the coffee shop." Lin Yue's voice was low, but it was full of excitement. "I think they must be discussing their next plan to deal with me."

Alice's voice on the other end of the phone was steady and calm: "Don't worry, Lin Yue. This is a good opportunity for us to collect evidence. Don't act rashly and continue to observe them. I will also speed up the investigation and try to expose their true colors as soon as possible."

Lin Yue nodded, "Okay, Sister Alice, I got it. I'll be careful." After hanging up the phone, Lin Yue looked towards the coffee shop across the street again and swore in his heart, "Sang Jiuyue, Su Ran, just wait for me. I will make you pay for what you did."

In the coffee shop, Sang Jiuyue and Su Ran continued their conversation. Sang Jiuyue took out a document from her bag and handed it to Su Ran: "This is my latest plan, take a look."

Su Ran took the document, glanced through it quickly, and showed a surprised expression on her face: "Sister Ji Yue, this plan is too risky, right? If we are discovered, we will be completely finished."

Sang Jiuyue smiled disdainfully: "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. How can you completely defeat Lin Yue without taking risks? If you are afraid, don't get involved. I can handle it myself."

Su Ran gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not afraid, Sister Jiyue, I just think we need to think about it again and not be so impulsive."

Sang Jiuyue waved her hand impatiently: "Okay, it's settled. You act according to the plan, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions." After that, she stood up, picked up her bag, and prepared to leave.

Su Ran looked at Sang Jiuyue's back, feeling helpless and worried. She knew that the fight had reached a fever pitch and there was no turning back. She could only bite the bullet and continue until the day when the winner was decided.

After leaving the coffee shop, Sang Jiuyue and Su Ran walked in different directions. Sang Jiuyue's steps were firm and confident, as if she was sure of victory; while Su Ran walked a little heavy, her heart was full of contradictions and uneasiness. She looked back from time to time, as if she was worried that someone was following her.

Lin Yue looked at the two people's backs as they left, thinking to herself. She knew that the days ahead would be even more difficult, but she was fully prepared to meet this challenge. She believed that as long as she persevered, she would be able to break Sang Jiuyue and Su Ran's conspiracy and go further in the entertainment industry.

After returning to the company, Lin Yue and Alice began intensive preparations. They collected a lot of evidence that Su Ran and Sang Jiuyue maliciously competed and suppressed newcomers, and also contacted some artists who had been framed by them, hoping that they would come forward to testify.

During this process, Lin Yue encountered many difficulties. Some artists were afraid of retaliation and did not dare to testify. Some evidence was too old to be collected. But Lin Yue did not give up. She persuaded those artists again and again and patiently looked for every possible clue.

Finally, with the efforts of Lin Yue and Alice, all the evidence was collected. They decided to make the evidence public at an appropriate time to expose the evil deeds of Sang Jiuyue and Su Ran to the world.

At this time, Sang Jiuyue and Su Ran were still complacent about their plans, not realizing that danger was approaching step by step. They were still stirring up trouble in the entertainment industry, trying to suppress more newcomers and consolidate their position.

Until one day, when Sang Jiuyue opened her phone and saw the overwhelming negative news about herself and Su Ran, she realized that her plan had completely failed. The artists who had been suppressed by her stood up and exposed her evil deeds; the public also strongly condemned her behavior.

Sang Jiuyue looked at the screen of her mobile phone, her hands shaking constantly. She never thought that everything she had carefully planned would end up like this. And Su Ran was also in a great panic at this time. She kept calling Sang Jiuyue, but no one answered.

Lin Yue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the company, looking at the bustling city outside, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart. She knew that she had finally succeeded. This competition with Sang Jiuyue and Su Ran not only made her grow a lot, but also made her more determined to continue in the entertainment industry.

"Thank you, Sister Alice." Lin Yue turned around and looked at Alice standing behind him, her eyes full of gratitude, "Without you, I couldn't have done all this."

Alice smiled and patted Lin Yue on the shoulder: "This is all the result of your own efforts, Lin Yue. You are very brave and strong. I believe that you will achieve greater success in the entertainment industry in the future."

Lin Yue nodded, with a determined light in her eyes: "I will, Sister Alice. I will definitely work harder and live up to your expectations."

At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun outlined the city in a hazy and soft way, but this warm light did not dispel the haze in Su Ran's heart. She stood in front of Lin Yue's apartment, raised her hand and put it down several times before she finally mustered up the courage to press the doorbell.

"Ding Dong--" The crisp sound of the doorbell echoed in the silent corridor, and every sound seemed to knock on Su Ran's tense nerves.

The door slowly opened. When Lin Yue saw Su Ran, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. Then he frowned slightly and said in a cold tone, "It's you. What's the matter?"

Su Ran's lips trembled slightly, and her throat seemed to be choked by something. After a while, she squeezed out a few words: "Lin Yue, I...can I go in and talk to you?"

Lin Yue hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside to let Su Ran in. The interior was simple and cozy, in stark contrast to Su Ran's current state of desolation. Lin Yue walked to the sofa and sat down, pointing to the seat opposite, motioning Su Ran to sit down as well.

Su Ran sat down slowly, twisting her hands nervously together, lowering her head and not daring to look into Lin Yue's eyes. The room was so quiet that only the ticking of the wall clock could be heard, and every second seemed extremely long.

Finally, Lin Yue broke the silence: "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Su Ran took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision, raised his head, his eyes full of despair and pleading: "Lin Yue, I know my crime is unforgivable. I have done so many bad things to you before, I deserve this fate. But I am really desperate now, Sang Jiuyue... he abandoned me." As he spoke, Su Ran's tears burst out.

Lin Yue looked at Su Ran without a trace of pity in her heart. She sneered and said, "You asked for this, didn't you? When you and Sang Jiuyue plotted against me, did you ever think that this day would come? Telling me this now, do you think I will sympathize with you?"

Su Ran quickly shook her head: "I'm not asking for your sympathy. I know I'm not qualified. I just... I just want to ask you to give me a chance. I can help you and Alice bring down Sang Jiuyue. I know all his shameful deeds and I can provide you with all the evidence that can bring him down."

Lin Yue raised her eyebrows, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Do you think I will believe you? You will do anything to get promoted. Why should I believe that you are not playing tricks again this time?"

Su Ran leaned forward anxiously, her voice filled with tears: "I swear to God, this time it's real. I have nothing left. My parents have been criticized by relatives and friends because of me. They can hardly make a living. My reputation is completely ruined. I have no reason to help Sang Jiuyue anymore. I just want him to get the punishment he deserves, and I also want to give myself and my family a chance to start over."

Lin Yue leaned back on the sofa, carefully looking at Su Ran, trying to find a hint of hypocrisy in her expression and eyes. Su Ran was a little flustered by her gaze, but she still stared straight at Lin Yue, her eyes full of earnestness.

After a long while, Lin Yue slowly spoke: "Even if I believe what you said, how much do you think the evidence you can provide can help to bring down Sang Jiuyue? He has been in this circle for so long, he has a wide network of contacts and many means, he is not so easy to be brought down."

Su Ran said quickly: "I know about the shady deals between him and some sponsors, as well as the details of how he suppressed other artists in order to snatch roles, and even the chain of benefits between him and some high-level executives. These evidences are enough to ruin his reputation. And I also know some of his secret bases. Maybe I can find more things that are beneficial to us."

Lin Yue was silent. She knew in her heart that if what Su Ran said was true, it would be a powerful weapon to bring down Sang Jiuyue. But she couldn't trust Su Ran completely. After all, Su Ran's previous actions had caused her too much harm.

Seeing that Lin Yue didn't say anything, Su Ran said anxiously, "Lin Yue, I know it's hard for you to believe me. I'm willing to give you some of the evidence first, and you can verify it. As long as you can give me a chance to make up for my crime, I'm willing to do anything."

Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said, "I can consider your proposal, but don't think that this can easily offset everything you did to me before. I will verify the evidence you gave me first. If there is even a trace of falsehood, you know the consequences."

Su Ran nodded hurriedly: "I understand, I understand. Thank you, Lin Yue, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity."

Lin Yue stood up and walked to the window. Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside, she thought to herself: Sang Jiuyue, this is just the beginning. Your good days are almost over...

As night falls and the lights come on, the whole city is lit up by bright lights, like a city that never sleeps. In the most luxurious hotel in the city, a top celebrity dinner is in full swing. The hotel's banquet hall is decorated with gold and jade, and the crystal chandeliers cast dazzling light, reflecting the guests' gorgeous clothes and jewelry, showing luxury and nobility everywhere.

Lin Yue's sister wore a custom-made royal blue evening gown. The slim cut perfectly outlined her figure. The tiny diamonds inlaid on the hem of the dress flickered with every step she took, like stars in the night sky. She gracefully took Lin Yue's hand and slowly walked into the venue, immediately attracting many eyes. They smiled and greeted everyone they knew, showing the demeanor of celebrities in their every move.

However, their eyes soon locked onto a figure in the crowd - Sang Jiuyue. Sang Jiuyue was wearing a white designer dress that looked expensive, an exaggerated diamond necklace around her neck, and several rings on her hands. She looked a bit out of place with all kinds of luxury goods piled up on her.

Lin Yue's sister raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible sneer. She winked at Lin Yue, and the two of them understood each other and walked towards Sang Jiuyue's direction.

"Hey, look who is this?" Lin Yue's sister deliberately raised her voice, and the people around cast curious glances at her, "Isn't this Sang Jiuyue? What she is wearing today is really... eye-catching." Sang Jiuyue heard the voice, turned around, and saw that it was Lin Yue and her sister. Her face instantly became a little ugly, but she still pretended to be calm and responded: "What I wear, what does it have to do with you?"

Lin Yue's sister ignored her questioning and continued, "Look at what you're wearing. They're all branded. Logically, you should look glamorous, but why do you look so... low?" She shook her head as she spoke, with a look of regret on her face, "You're wearing so many high-end items, but you look like a real country bumpkin? You don't know how to match them at all. It's a complete waste of these luxury goods."

When the people around heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they started to whisper. Sister Lin Yue's friends naturally understood what she meant and echoed her.

"Yeah, I always thought Miss Sang had a unique taste, but it turns out this is how she matches things." A wealthy lady covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes full of mockery.

"She used to brag about her fashion sense on various occasions, but now it seems like she was just bragging," another person joked.

The laughter and discussions of the crowd made Sang Jiuyue's face look uglier and uglier. Her face turned red, and her hands were clenched into fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.

Seeing this, Lin Yue's sister pressed the issue, "Also, who are you trying to seduce with this exaggerated face of yours? No wonder you were able to marry into a wealthy family, it turns out you relied on this face from plastic surgery."

This sentence was like a bombshell, instantly making the atmosphere even more subtle. Everyone's eyes looked back and forth at Sang Jiuyue's face, and the whispers became louder.

Sang Jiuyue finally couldn't stand it anymore. She reached out and grabbed a glass of red wine on the table and poured it towards Lin Yue's sister, shouting, "Don't go too far!"

Lin Yue's sister was prepared. She quickly picked up her brand-name bag and threw it at Sang Jiuyue's hand. With a cry of "Ouch", the red wine glass in Sang Jiuyue's hand tilted and all the red wine spilled on her white dress, instantly staining a large dark red stain.

At this time, flashes of light flashed in the banquet hall, and the media reporters all aimed their cameras at this scene. Sang Jiuyue had been behind the scenes for a long time, and there was not much media attention. Unexpectedly, this time she became a hot topic again because of this farce.

Sang Jiuyue looked at her own embarrassed appearance, angry and annoyed, pointing at Lin Yue's sister and shouting: "You have to compensate me for my evening dress! This is a global limited edition, priceless!"

Lin Yue's sister calmly tidied her hair and said coldly, "You can pay for it, but before that, you have to let everyone know who deliberately started it first."

As they spoke, the hotel staff called up the surveillance video. The footage clearly showed that it was Sang Jiuyue who approached Lin Yue's sister with ill intentions, holding a red wine glass and preparing to splash her. Seeing the footage in the surveillance video, the people around cast accusatory glances at Sang Jiuyue.

"It turns out she was the first to do it. That was too much."

"You are wrong and yet you want others to compensate you. How ridiculous."

Sang Jiuyue was so ashamed when she heard these comments that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. She glared at Lin Yue and her sister fiercely, turned around and hurriedly left the banquet hall, leaving everyone in an uproar.

Sang Jiuyue fled in a panic amidst the pointing and accusations of the crowd. Her high heels made a hurried and chaotic sound on the smooth marble floor, just like her panicked heartbeat. She got into the back seat of her luxury car, slammed the door shut, and yelled at the driver, "Drive!" The driver was frightened by her momentum and quickly started the car and drove away from the hotel.

After returning home, Sang Jiuyue was filled with humiliation and anger, so she smashed everything in the room. Exquisite ornaments and expensive vases were smashed into pieces in her frenzy. "Lin Yue, and her damn sister, I will never let it go!" She muttered to herself with gritted teeth, constantly thinking about how to take revenge.

A few days later, Sang Jiuyue used her connections to find Li Ming, an online promoter who was good at smearing and spreading rumors. Li Ming was well-known in the industry for his ruthless methods. As long as he was paid, he could make up any kind of false news. Sang Jiuyue met him in a hidden cafe, pushed a thick stack of cash in front of him, and said viciously: "I want you to post negative information about Lin Yue and her sister on the Internet. The more the better, the more explosive the better, so that they will be ruined!" Li Ming took the money, weighed it, and showed a greedy smile: "Don't worry, Miss Sang, leave it to me."

Soon, rumors such as "Lin Yue used improper means to get to the top and had affairs with many directors" and "Lin Yue's sister's wealthy life is all a lie, she is actually heavily in debt and about to go bankrupt" spread rapidly on major social platforms. These rumors spread like a virus on the Internet in an instant, and netizens who did not know the truth left comments in the comment area, accusing and scolding Lin Yue and her sister.

Lin Yue was very depressed after seeing these rumors. She sat on the sofa, looking at the malicious comments on her phone, tears of grievance welling up in her eyes: "Sister, how can these people say this about us? It's obviously all fake." The sister hugged Lin Yue distressedly and said, "Don't be sad, the innocent will be innocent. What we need to do now is to collect evidence and expose these rumor makers."

The elder sister began to run around, and she first contacted her long-time friend, reporter Wang, who was well-known in the media industry for his integrity and outspokenness. After listening to the elder sister's story, he said indignantly: "Sang Jiuyue has gone too far. I will definitely help you uncover the truth." Reporter Wang used his connections and resources to secretly investigate the transaction between Li Ming and Sang Jiuyue.

At the same time, Lin Yue was not defeated by these rumors. She knew that only by speaking with strength could she break these unwarranted accusations. She worked harder and participated in a popular acting variety show "Peak Acting School". In the show, she met many strong opponents, but she relied on her solid acting skills and love for acting to go all out in every performance.

During a program recording, Lin Yue was drawn to play a very challenging role - a woman who lost her relatives during the war years but still fought hard. In order to play this role well, Lin Yue consulted a lot of historical materials and conducted in-depth research on the psychology and living conditions of women in that era. She came to the rehearsal room early every day and practiced her lines and movements repeatedly. Every expression and every look was carefully crafted. On the day of recording, Lin Yue's performance shocked the audience. She interpreted the character's pain, strength and hope vividly. The judges gave high praise one after another, and the audience was deeply moved by her performance. The barrage was full of praise and support for her.

As Lin Yue's performance in the show became more and more outstanding, her fans spontaneously organized themselves and began to clarify the rumors for her on the Internet. They collected clips of Lin Yue's previous works, photos of her participating in charity activities, and evidence of her harmonious relationship with the staff, and posted them one by one on social platforms, using facts to fight back against those malicious rumors. At the same time, reporter Wang also published an in-depth investigative report through his own media channels, revealing the truth that Sang Jiuyue hired Li Ming to spread rumors. Once the article was published, it quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens, and the direction of public opinion began to change.

Sang Jiuyue was angry and anxious when she saw that the public opinion on the Internet was gradually turning against her. She tried to contact Li Ming again and asked him to increase the intensity of the rumor, but Li Ming suddenly lost contact. It turned out that after seeing the matter gradually exposed, Li Ming was afraid of taking responsibility and fled with the remaining money.

Without the support of her network promoter, Sang Jiuyue was isolated and helpless. Her former so-called "friends" all distanced themselves from her after seeing her miserable state, fearing that they would be implicated. Sang Jiuyue's life fell into chaos. She dared not go out, afraid of facing other people's strange looks. She could only lock herself in her room every day, living in regret and despair.

As for Lin Yue and her sister, as the truth gradually surfaced, their lives slowly returned to normal. Lin Yue successfully won the championship in "The Peak Acting School", and her career reached a new peak. Her sister's life in a wealthy family is still happy and she also cherishes the family relationship with Lin Yue even more.

On a sunny afternoon, Lin Yue and her sister sat in their garden, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility. The flowers in the garden were blooming in all colors, emitting waves of charming fragrance. The breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, as if playing a beautiful piece of music.

Lin Yue leaned on her sister's shoulder and said with emotion: "Sister, this journey has not been easy. Fortunately, you are by my side."

The elder sister smiled and gently stroked Lin Yue's hair: "Yes, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will survive. In the days to come, we will continue to walk together."

After going through this storm, Lin Yue and her sister both understood that in this world full of fame, wealth and temptation, sticking to the kindness and truth in their hearts is the most important thing. The setbacks and difficulties they had experienced have become precious wealth on their growth path, making them stronger and more aware of cherishing each other.

In the entertainment industry, Lin Yue and her sister had just experienced a fierce confrontation with Sang Jiuyue. At the celebrity dinner, Lin Yue's sister mercilessly ridiculed Sang Jiuyue's dress and plastic surgery rumors, which made Sang Jiuyue angry and embarrassed, but she ended up making herself a laughing stock and was widely reported by the media, losing face.

Since then, Sang Jiuyue has been trying to save the situation. She retreated behind the scenes and turned her attention to training newcomers, hoping to return to the center of power in the entertainment industry by making a few potential stars famous. She carefully selected several newcomers with great potential, developed a detailed training plan for them, and personally contacted senior mentors in the industry, hoping to make these newcomers into tomorrow's stars in the entertainment industry.

That day, the sun shone through the gaps in the blinds, casting bright shadows on the floor of Sang Jiuyue's spacious office. Since she retired to the background, she rarely set foot here, and the air in the office was a little cold, as if no one had been there for a long time. Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang abruptly, breaking the silence.

"Hello?" Sang Jiuyue answered the phone with a hint of impatience in her tone.

"Jiyue, come to my office." On the other end of the phone, Mr. Qi's voice was low and brief, revealing unquestionable majesty. Mr. Qi has been working in the entertainment industry for many years and is an important figure in the industry. His entertainment company has many artists, and has been involved in many fields such as film and television, music, and variety shows, controlling half of the entertainment industry.

Sang Jiuyue's heart tightened. She knew Mr. Qi's temper too well. This tone clearly indicated that something had happened that made him unhappy. After hanging up the phone, she sorted out her emotions and hurried to Mr. Qi's office in her high heels.

When he opened the door, Mr. Qi was sitting behind a large desk with a gloomy face. When he saw Sang Jiuyue coming in, he said directly without any greetings: "Sang Jiuyue, you know about Su Ran, right?" Mr. Qi stared at Sang Jiuyue with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

Sang Jiuyue's heart sank. She had a vague guess, but still pretended to be calm and said, "Su Ran? What happened to him?" As she spoke, she quickly thought in her mind about the trouble Su Ran might have caused. Did he have a conflict with other artists, or did he get into some trouble outside?
President Qi slammed a document on the table. The two words "Su Ran" on the cover of the document were particularly eye-catching: "He is skipping classes to go to Alice's company and is openly not working in our company. This is an unprecedented betrayal!" President Qi's voice rose a few notches because of anger. He really couldn't stand his artists jumping ship so blatantly. This not only damaged the interests of the company, but might also cause other artists to follow suit.

Sang Jiuyue frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "At that time, I felt that his development was limited here, so I didn't force him to stay. I thought letting him develop freely would be good for both the company and him." Sang Jiuyue looked calm on the surface, but in her heart she was secretly blaming Su Ran for not changing jobs earlier or later, and this incident happened when she was trying to save the situation.

President Qi snorted coldly, "Good? Now he's going to Alice to help others expand their power. Do you think this is good?" President Qi stood up, put his hands on the desk, leaned forward, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and questioning, "When you let him go, didn't you consider the situation today?"

Sang Jiuyue bit her lip. She knew that Mr. Qi was really angry this time. She tried to keep her voice steady: "Mr. Qi, I admit that I didn't think it through. But Su Ran is stubborn. If he is determined to leave, he won't stay. It will only cause more trouble." Sang Jiuyue tried to explain, hoping to ease Mr. Qi's anger.

President Qi paced back and forth in the office, his leather shoes making a "clacking" sound on the floor, and every sound seemed to hit Sang Jiuyue's heart. "What should we do now? Let him flourish in Alice's place and steal our employees?" President Qi stopped and looked at Sang Jiuyue again, "You have to think of a way to solve this problem for me. We can't let the company lose face."

Sang Jiuyue took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Qi, I will contact Su Ran and see if I can persuade him to come back. If he really doesn't want to, I will also find a way to hinder his development with Alice and never let him live too comfortably there." There was a ruthless look in Sang Jiuyue's eyes. She knew that she had to take action, otherwise she would not only be unable to explain to Mr. Qi, but it might also affect her position in the company.

Mr. Qi sat back in his chair, leaned back, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said slowly: "Okay, let's do as you say. But remember, if this matter is not handled well, you know the consequences." Although Mr. Qi's tone was calm, it revealed a chilling deterrent force.

After leaving Mr. Qi's office, Sang Jiuyue went straight back to her own office. She sat on the chair, tapping the table rhythmically with her fingers, thinking quickly about countermeasures in her mind. She called Su Ran first, and after the call was connected, she tried to make her tone sound gentle and friendly: "Su Ran, I haven't contacted you for a long time, how have you been recently?"

Su Ran said vigilantly on the other end of the phone: "Sister Sang, just tell me what's the matter." Su Ran knew that Sang Jiuyue contacting him suddenly must be something bad.

Sang Jiuyue smiled and said, "You still understand me. Su Ran, no matter how well you develop in Alice, can it compare to our company? President Qi has always valued you. As long as you come back, the past will be forgiven, and the company will give you better resources."

Su Ran was silent for a while, then said, "Sister Sang, thank you for your kindness, but I am very happy here with Alice and I can learn a lot. I don't want to go back." Su Ran's tone was firm, without any hesitation.

Sang Jiuyue's expression changed slightly, but she still said patiently: "Su Ran, think about it again, don't make a decision so quickly. In the entertainment industry, connections and resources are very important. You may not get what you want from Alice."

Su Ran smiled and said, "Sister Sang, that's okay. I've made up my mind." Then he hung up the phone.

Sang Jiuyue looked at her phone, her face livid with anger. She threw the phone fiercely on the table: "You are so good, Su Ran, you don't want to drink my toast, so you have to drink the penalty!"

After calming down, Sang Jiuyue began to contact her connections in the entertainment industry. She first found a director who was in competition with Alice Company. This director had always been upset that Alice Company had snatched away several newcomers he favored. Sang Jiuyue talked to him on the phone, and after some discussion, the two decided to tamper with the casting of a popular TV series that was about to be filmed, so that even with the support of Alice Company, Su Ran would not be able to get the role.

Then, Sang Jiuyue contacted some media friends, suggesting that they could publish some news about Su Ran being ungrateful and betraying her old employer, trying to put pressure on Su Ran in public opinion. She knew that although these methods were a bit despicable, they were sometimes necessary in this fiercely competitive entertainment industry.

At the same time, with the support of her sister, Lin Yue's acting career is booming. She won the championship in the acting variety show "Peak Acting School" with her outstanding performance, and became the focus of the entertainment industry for a while, with various film contracts and endorsements pouring in. Her sister also quietly took care of everything for her behind the scenes, using her connections in the upper class to expand resources for Lin Yue and escort her.

As for Sang Jiuyue, although she made a series of moves, things did not develop as she wished. With the support of Alice Company, Su Ran was not affected by public opinion. Instead, she made a name for herself in an independent film with her own efforts and talents, and was recognized by people in the industry.
