Chapter 533

"N-nothing, I drank a bit too much coffee and want to go to the restroom~"

Hearing Wang Churan say this, Meng Jie glanced at the coffee in the other's cup, which had only been sipped once, and thought to herself, is this stuff really that diuretic?

Then one must drink more.

Detox and beautify!

Drink a big gulp straight away as a sign of respect!

Watching Meng Jie sitting there hugging her coffee and drinking it frantically, Wang Churan was actually more concerned about the "changing mentors" talk she had mentioned.

This plot is too much like the domineering CEO in TV dramas or romance novels; with a wave of his hand, "I've contracted this fish pond for you!"

So, naturally, she really wanted to know more details.

Meng Jie: Hey, I want to know too~

When chatting about this matter, she was actually a bit muddled herself; anyway, she only remembered that Bai Liang seemed to have mentioned it.

But what he said was actually quite casual, more like he was joking~

But she always felt that doing this kind of thing didn't really seem like her little hedgehog's style.

How could a domineering CEO be better than a warm capybara!

So Meng Jie didn't ask much at all.

And her appearance of hiding things after saying a little bit actually made Wang Churan feel even more itchy inside.

I really want to know!

Their preferences in this regard were indeed different; Meng Jie liked capybaras a bit more, but Wang Churan actually preferred the "manly" type.

Of course, this was just a minor preference.

In the big picture, the sisters were in agreement: they liked handsome guys!

Although Bai Liang basically hadn't shown much of a domineering CEO persona—after all, he hadn't "not eaten beef" for a long time.

But in his own stories, he actually had a bit of a passive domineering CEO vibe.

After all, regarding the downfall of those two former top-tier idols, quite a few people had pinned this "credit" on his head.

The reason he passively became a "drama tyrant" also had something to do with this.

Anyway, it was enough for the young lady to imagine.

And so, Wang Churan felt that the capybara was just a facade, and the domineering CEO was the true self.

She was now particularly looking forward to the follow-up of this matter.

"Yan Zi is truly a domineering CEO!" Bai Liang exclaimed.

The reason he suddenly mentioned this to Meng Jie was because he had asked Yan Zi.

The other party had very domineeringly said, "This shorty is going to be in trouble soon! I'll deal with him!"

The current Yan Zi was truly domineering; having just "trained" during the summer season was different. She had Guan Hu in a complete mess, and the impact even extended directly to the unreleased *The Sacrifice*.

The time for this movie's release was getting closer, and the voices of boycott on the internet were getting louder.

Yan Zi had a huge part of the credit for this.

As for Guo Xiaosi, that guy had even more black history.

Yan Zi only needed to understand the ins and outs from Bai Liang slightly before indicating that this matter was on her.

However, not even two days later, she suddenly called Bai Liang, her tone sounding rather strange: "Brother Xiaobai, we're trying to get back at them for Meng Jie and targeting Guo Xiaosi, right?"

"Ah? Something like that~ Have you figured out the situation?"

"I just figured out the situation, but something is wrong now..." Yan Zi continued in a strange tone.

"What's wrong?"

"He's in trouble, but it doesn't have much to do with us..."

"Oh? Is that so~"

Hearing this tone without much emotional fluctuation, Yan Zi suddenly raised an eyebrow: "Brother Xiaobai, did you do it?"

"I didn't do anything~"

Just after saying this, Bai Liang realized his words were wrong; they were a bit too absolute.

He hadn't done *nothing*.

It was... Meng Jie, after all.

A Guo Xiaosi didn't have the ability to make Bai Liang enter the "not eating beef" state; other than telling Yan Zi, he hadn't done anything extra, and he hadn't even thought about this matter for the past two days.

But... Meng Jie's luck recently should still be quite good.

Back then, Nazha and Reba played with a small crocodile toy, which made Reba's Dao heart almost shatter from being bitten; from a certain perspective, this might have been Bai Liang's behind-the-scenes assistance.

Although he didn't really want to admit that he might truly have some "lucky charm" components, long-term experience told him that the probability of such things happening was actually not small~

If Meng Jie's luck had been good recently, then the people who made her uncomfortable would likely have bad moods, which manifested in specific events as... being about to have bad luck!

This set of metaphysical logic was very reasonable.

However, Yan Zi felt it was very inexplicable, so she couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xiaobai, do you have anyone else outside helping you with marketing and connections?"

"No~"

"Then I'm relieved, but this time it's really a coincidence!" Yan Zi exclaimed with a giggle.

How much of a coincidence~

Yan Zi had just prepared to cause some trouble for Guo Xiaosi to make him a bit more sensible and stop chirping at Meng Jie on the show.

As a result, the other party's "incident" happened today!

The open letter stated that recently, on some internet platforms and TV variety shows, screenwriters and directors with a history of plagiarism have repeatedly appeared as mentors and guests, using the shows to stir up topics to chase clicks and ratings, and to grab attention.

And "this practice of putting ratings and traffic above all else has aroused great resentment among relevant practitioners and all sectors of society," calling on media platforms to "promote the positive energy of the era, promote more artists with both virtue and art, actively reject these creators with bad records who do not repent, not provide a stage for plagiarists, and expel them from public media."

This joint signature list included many well-known film and television practitioners.

Not long after, the number of people on this joint signature list expanded to 156.

Oh right, this thing named Guo Xiaosi, plus Yu Zheng.

Actually, this group of screenwriters didn't hold much hope for the joint letter they created; it was more of a statement.

Because these two old guys, one lost a lawsuit fifteen years ago and the other six years ago, but they just said, "I'll pay the fine, but an apology is impossible."

Just holding out like that without admitting defeat, and for so many years, there was really nothing that could be done about them.

And so, Guo Xiaosi continued to record the show as usual, seemingly not taking this group of nobodies to heart at all.

Meng Jie and Wang Churan, who also came to record this episode, looked at the news online and then at Guo Xiaosi, who was completely unaffected at the recording site, and had different thoughts in their hearts.

Meng Jie felt it was incredible; on one hand, she was surprised that Guo Xiaosi could still act like nothing happened, and she even felt a bit envious, wishing she had that kind of mentality.

On the other hand, she suspected that this matter couldn't have been caused by her little hedgehog, right?

It shouldn't be, right? So many industry insiders signing together felt like it had been plotted for a long time.

And Wang Churan was more direct: "It must be Brother Xiaobai! Such fast action! Such powerful methods!"

Looking at her best friend, whose face was flushed, Meng Jie couldn't help but scratch her head: "I don't think so..."

"You underestimate him too much!" At this moment, Wang Churan, who had a bit of a fan-girl attitude and felt that "Brother" was omnipotent, immediately wanted to correct Meng Jie's "incorrect" thinking: "Believe me, this matter will definitely have a follow-up, it's not over!"

"What kind of follow-up could there be?"

"Changing mentors!"

"Really?"

Looking at the determined Wang Churan, Meng Jie started to be swayed by her.
