After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

"You guys..." Chu Yue tried to remain decent, but the corners of her mouth couldn't stop trembling, "You guys have known each other for a long time..."

Qian Yu took Lu Ranran's hand affectionately and looked at Chu Yue with interest.

"What do you mean we've known each other for a long time?"

"We have always been good friends."

Qian Yu turned and looked at Director X, "Is that what you said?"

Director X laughed and nodded, "Yes, yes, we are all good friends, good friends!"

With a plop, Chu Yue suddenly collapsed to the ground, her face ashen, the foundation at the corners of her eyes a little loose, like fat particles, or like the small bulges when the wall paint is about to fall off.

The building is about to collapse and everything is in decline.

Lu Ranran returned home, let go of all the pressure and defenses, and sank deeply into the soft sofa.

Things have come to this point, and it’s time to come to an end.

Next, it depends on whether we can get some explosive news out of Yang Nian.

Thinking of this, Lu Ranran realized that the house was quiet and Shen Xiling seemed not to have returned yet.

Lu Ranran didn't think much about it, and returned to her room after calming down. After washing up carefully, Lu Ranran decided to go to the study to find a novel to read.

Since I started working, I have been under a lot of mental stress, and have less time to let go of my mental burden and concentrate on reading.

While thinking about what to read, Lu Ranran pushed open the door of the study.

After pressing the switch with a "click".

The figure in front of the desk scared Lu Ranran.

"Oh my god! You're home!" Lu Ranran patted his chest and walked into the study, "Why don't you turn on the lights at home?"

Unlike usual, Shen Xiling raised his eyes and looked at her calmly, but did not speak.

Lu Ranran felt frightened by being stared at, so she took the initiative to bring up what happened tonight.

"Didn't I go to a party with Qian Yu today?"

"I didn't expect Chu Yue to come too."

As he spoke, Lu Ranran sat in his original seat, his eyes wandering among the piles of books.

"I don't know if no one was paying attention to her, so she drove her car directly into the gate, making a loud noise."

"But she must have felt very disillusioned when she spent so much money and found out that the people above her had already formed a group..."

It was only when Chu Yue appeared that Lu Ranran understood Shen Xiling's true intention.

The so-called "balance" is like a person having two hands; everyone has his or her dominant hand, but both the left hand and the right hand are indispensable.

In this war without the smoke of gunpowder, Qian Yu's side has already gained the upper hand.

If you eliminate this opponent at this time, there will definitely be another opponent. In this case, you might as well take this opportunity to turn the opponent into a member of your own camp.

The secret to invincibility is no longer to eliminate every opponent, but to constantly expand your own camp.

This is the so-called "grouping".

"It's a pity for Chu Yue. After running the business for so long, she ended up being someone else's pawn—"

"slowly."

Shen Xiling interrupted Lu Ranran's sigh.

Hearing the voice, Lu Ranran turned around and saw Shen Xiling looking at her with a serious expression.

His eyes were fixed straight ahead, without any reservation or concealment.

Lu Ranran looked away uncomfortably.

"What's wrong with you? Did you learn something from Yang Nian——"

"Yang Nian said," Shen Xiling paused, as if he had made a difficult decision, "Small Town Past" is a script written by your mother..."

"Not Chu Yue."

It was clearly a simple sentence, but Lu Ranran couldn't quite understand it.

Dozens of words are like the hammer in Lei Gong's hand that creates thunder.

Every time Shen Xiling uttered a word, a thunder exploded in Lu Ranran's mind.

"No..." Lu Ranran suppressed her dizziness and asked Shen Xiling, "You mean, Chu Yue plagiarized my mother's work?"

"Does Yang Nian have any evidence?"

Shen Xiling shook his head barely audibly.

"...almost nothing."

"What do you mean by 'almost nothing'?!"

As soon as the words came out, Lu Ranran realized that his tone was inappropriate.

"I'm sorry, I--" Lu Ranran held his forehead and thought for a while.

"Sorry, I, I'm a little confused... Can you explain what 'almost nothing' means?"

Shen Xiling looked at Lu Ranran worriedly for a long time.

Finally, he sighed softly and repeated everything Yang Nian said in detail.

After discussing with the lawyer, Yang Nian asked tentatively:

"I, I will probably stay here for a few years, and when I get out--"

The lawyer put on a professional smile and interrupted Yang Nian.

"First of all, soliciting prostitution is a violation of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law and will result in public security punishment, but no jail time."

"but......"

"but what?"

The lawyer put away his smile and said coldly:

"According to what you just said, you have a venereal disease, right?"

"If someone knowingly suffers from syphilis, gonorrhea or other diseases and still visits prostitutes, they will be charged with spreading sexually transmitted diseases."

Yang Nian's eyes widened, and after a while he finally reacted and said angrily:

"You, you lied to me!"

The lawyer put on a business smile again and said in a gentle voice:

"That depends on the price you offer and whether Mr. Shen is satisfied."

After saying this, the lawyer turned around and prepared to leave.

Before his hand touched the door handle, Yang Nian said sinisterly behind him:

"...I know Chu Yue plagiarized."

"Is this okay?"

It turns out that before filming "Small Town Past", Yang Nian was just an unsuccessful idol drama director, and An Ning was just an ordinary screenwriter.

Even if you win the Best Screenwriter award and enter the workplace, you still have to start from the bottom.

According to Yang Nian, he happened to meet An Ning from another crew while filming in the studio.

At that time, An Ning was actively looking for a filming partner.

He happened to meet the frustrated Yang Nian and a female actress who was playing a supporting role in the crew.

But just when they were worrying about how to attract investment, An Ning died of childbirth complications.

Without the backbone and with the script still unfinished, Yang Nian thought the movie could not be made.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yue appeared at this time.

She not only brought a complete script, but also brought investors such as Chang Hong.

Moreover, Chu Yue claimed that "Small Town Past" was her original script, and An Ning only came to help her in the early stage.

Although Yang Nian felt a little strange about this, since Chu Yue brought the investment, the film could go on.

As long as the film can be shot, he doesn't care who the original author of the script is, as long as he is the director.

The actress who was still a minor role and claimed to have been "replaced" was later introduced to Chang Hong by Chu Yue, and came into contact with other crews through Chang Hong.

Now, he has become a big figure in the circle.

All problems were solved perfectly.
