“Yes! And I’m sure that Shen Lu, no, it’s Shi Lu. The waiter who handed him the wine and the waiter who handed him the room card is the same person!”

After Zhang Zhang described the attendant’s appearance carefully again, Yuan Shu and Zhang Chao quickly looked at each other. It seemed that this matter had been a trap right from the beginning.

Zhang Chao immediately saw the same suspicion in Yuan Shu’s eyes. Before Yuan Shu could speak, he immediately said, “I’ll check the list of attendants on the night of the cocktail party now.”

Yuan Shu stopped him. “Let Zhou Yan investigate this matter. You’re Shi Lu’s manager, so you have to be prepared to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations at any time.”

Zhang Zhang expressed his agreement. “The public opinion is changing at every moment. You have to control the situation in the fan group first and contact Sister Li to divert the public’s attention.”

Zhang Chao quickly calmed down. He had been following Shi Lu since he entered this industry. Although Shi Lu was undisciplined, Zhang Chao was really serious about cultivating his business skills. He was a little flustered just now, but now that he had calmed down, his professional skills were displayed.

He took out his phone. First, he stabilized the fans’ emotions in various fan groups so that the fans would believe in their idol. He also sent some of his discoveries to Sister Shi to let the fans argue with the netizens.

To a popular celebrity, trending was a good thing. Therefore, as long as fans and netizens quarreled, this topic would continue to trend. Even after the matter was resolved, it would also increase Shi Lu’s fame.

Zhang Chao completely believed in Shi Lu’s character. For so many years, Shi Lu kept his distance from the women in the entertainment industry. The only person who could be friends with him was Zhang Zhang.

How could such a Shi Lu sleep with an actress he had never worked with before?

After Zhang Chao settled the matters here, he thought about these five topics and said to Yuan Shu, “Madam Shi, since Zheng Yan said that Shi Lu used Wang Shen’s position as the female lead to threaten her into sleeping with him, as long as Director Wang Shen releases a statement saying that this script is still in the casting stage, her lie will naturally be exposed.”

Yuan Shu had also thought of this, but she didn’t leave either Wang Shen or Mu Zhou’s number, so it was a little difficult to contact them.

Now that Zhang Chao mentioned it, Yuan Shu said, “You’ve been helping Shi Lu get a role in this movie, so you should have Wang Shen’s number. Call him quickly and ask him to release a statement as soon as possible.”

Zhang Chao immediately found the number. “Madam, this is Director Wang’s number. However, I think it’s most suitable for you to make this call.”

Zhang Zhang was curious and couldn’t help but interrupt. “Why does Madam Shi have to do it?”

Zhang Chao explained, “From yesterday’s conversation, it’s not difficult to tell that Director Wang and Director Mu both hope that Madam Shi can play the role, so they will definitely give in to Madam Shi at this time.”

Yuan Shu immediately called him.

It was only 8:30 in the morning, and the person on the other end of the phone was clearly still groggy. The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up.

Yuan Shu called again. Finally, after the third ring, the call was picked up.

Wang Shen’s voice was filled with frustration and he was clearly dissatisfied that someone had woken him up in the morning. “Who is it?”

Yuan Shu said politely, “Hello, Director Wang. I’m Yuan Shu. I’m sorry to disturb you at this time. I have a small matter that I need your help with.”

Wang Shen and Mu Zhou had a good chat about the new script last night and couldn’t help but drink two more glasses. It wasn’t until midnight that the two of them reluctantly ended the conversation and returned to their respective rooms. He had just fallen asleep not long ago but was woken up by a call early in the morning. Even a good-tempered person would feel annoyed.

Wang Shen wanted to scold her, but when he heard that the person on the phone was Yuan Shu, he forced himself to control his temper. However, his tone wasn’t very friendly. “Madam Shi, please speak..”
