Chapter 154 Suspicion
"It must be our little youth drama crew! Just a quick plug, our Ningning is absolutely gorgeous! She's beautiful inside and out, and so generous! It's hard not to like her!"

Xiaoman, a staff member in Honor's logistics department, never expected that her casual Weibo post would suddenly become so popular.

She only has three to five hundred fans, and most of them are people in the same industry whom she has met over the years during her working hours.

After the opening ceremony was over, Xiaoman picked up her phone and saw a red dot indicating 99+ on her walkie-talkie. She almost thought she was about to be cyberbullied.

When Xiaoman clicked on it, she was a little dumbfounded.

The comment praising Wei Ning and pointing out that it was from the "Youth Handbook" production team has become a top comment on her previous Weibo post, with the number of likes even exceeding 10,000.

What's happening here?
In particular, the people in the comments section were very certain that the red envelope she received must have come from the crew of the drama "Youth With You," and that no one else could be so generous.

Xiaoman laughs in exasperation.

Even if it was just random speculation from netizens at first, now she sees that the comments below have almost confirmed that it was a red envelope sent by the crew of the neighboring film crew. If there were no online trolls involved, she would have wasted all those years in this industry.

Although she was just a logistics staff member on the set, it was hard for her not to like the boss who was so generous.

Soon, Xiaoman took a picture of the photo in her hand.

Just now, after the opening ceremony, around lunchtime, the boss unexpectedly called a food truck over.

It wasn't just any ordinary boxed lunch; they hired a Japanese chef, and all the food was made to order.

A wide variety of fresh seafood, as well as yakitori, bibimbap, and more, are all available.

She loves eel rice, so she was holding a steaming hot, freshly made eel rice bowl. The eel on top was plentiful, especially with the "Tsubaki Enjo" logo on the rice bowl. This restaurant has branches in major first-tier cities and is quite famous. The average price per person is around 500-600 yuan, which isn't particularly expensive, but it's not cheap either.

"Sorry, the production team I joined isn't 'Youthful Days,' it's 'Glory in Your Name' from Tenglong Films. As I mentioned before, of the three biggest red envelopes, two were from our boss, and one was from the original author, Ms. Yuan. I don't know why our boss gave out two, maybe she's just generous! Also, for lunch, the whole crew ate at Chunyuan Restaurant! What a kind boss! I love her so much!"

Xiaoman didn't just reply to one comment; she refuted all the comments in the front row that said she was in the "Youthful Days" drama crew.

Why should others take advantage of their popularity?
After Xiaoman's reply, netizens who had previously been critical of the drama's cast members' rebuttals, but were then thoroughly attacked by their fans, also stood up.

"I knew it! The red envelope that the original poster posted clearly had the character 'You' on it. That should be a surname, right? Does the 'Youthful Days' drama crew have any actors with that surname? I think their boss's surname is Tang, right?"

"This is really rich. I would want to be in a production like this too. I said before that the new actress Wei Ning wasn't very generous, but her fans didn't believe me. My friend is in the production of 'Youthful Days,' and Wei Ning didn't give out any red envelopes at all, but you still don't believe me."

"Adding to the Glory crew, the caviar today is so fresh! People who usually can't afford to eat it at Chunyuan are almost crying with joy. I heard it was ordered by the boss's friend, to add to the boss's celebration."

Wei Ning is currently in the youth drama crew and is in a pretty good mood.

As soon as she entered the industry, she was the leading lady. Even actors who had previously had breakout works are now relegated to playing supporting roles for her.

She didn't hand out red envelopes at the opening ceremony today, claiming that she was a newcomer and unaware of this custom. Fortunately, besides her as the lead actress, other actors and the director also gave red envelopes.

Everyone gives her ordinary red envelopes. As long as she doesn't say anything, who would know that she wasn't among them?
Unexpectedly, while sitting down to browse her phone, she discovered that some lucky guy had sent her a huge red envelope, and it happened to be the same day that her film crew started shooting. Netizens all thought it was a red envelope they had sent.

Of course, she wouldn't take the initiative to explain such a thing.

The more people misunderstand, the better, as it doesn't do her any harm anyway.

But at lunchtime, Fang Ran, who was in the same production crew, casually brought up the matter.

"Teacher Wei, I saw your name was trending online today!" Fang Ran said with a smile, sitting across the round table.

Wei Ning knew that the person she had previously approached for the role was Fang Ran. However, since Fang Ran herself didn't have the ability to get the lead role, and now that it had fallen into her hands, she naturally didn't feel any guilt towards him.

Wei Ning dismissed these words as sarcastic remarks, thinking, "It's all part of the company's marketing strategy."

Wei Ning knew that today's opening ceremony would be broadcast live, so she specially chose an outfit suitable for the camera.

Fang Ran was surprised, "Huh? But I see your fans are arguing with netizens online, apparently because of the red envelope issue."

Fang Ran knew, of course, that Wei Ning hadn't prepared a single red envelope for the opening ceremony today, but since Miss Wei had said she was a newcomer and didn't know about this procedure, what could Fang Ran say?
There's a lot of discussion online now, but as long as it doesn't affect the production team, she's happy to see it happen.

Upon hearing these words, Wei Ning suddenly had a bad feeling.

She picked up her phone and saw that, sure enough, the hashtags #WeiNingRedEnvelope# and #TenglongFilmBossRedEnvelope# were already at the top of the trending topics.

Upon opening the document, Wei Ning's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

Previously, she saw some random, greedy production crew giving out several hundred yuan in red envelopes, and fans assumed it was her doing. But now, the original poster has clarified, and some unruly staff member from their "Youthful Days" production crew has posted a Weibo post clearly targeting her—

"Wei Ning didn't give out any red envelopes on set, okay? She's called some kind of rich girl, but it feels like there's some exaggeration in that."

Wei Ning suddenly looked up at Fang Ran.

It's no wonder she suspects Fang Ran is behind this now, since she only had a conflict of interest with Fang Ran when she joined the film crew.

Fang Ran was already in a bad mood because Tangcheng Pictures had tricked her. Perhaps because Wei Ning had snatched her role, she just couldn't stand Wei Ning. Even though her assistant had reminded her several times, she still couldn't help but act on her anger when it flared up.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Fang Ran realized what Wei Ning's gaze meant and immediately exploded like a lit firecracker. "It wasn't me who did it."
