Yun Liu leaned into Yun Zhang’s embrace. She smiled as he gradually relaxed, having read his mind from his body language.

Yun Zhang patted Yun Liu’s back and gently said, “Alright, dry your tears. We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us. Yun Nan is working hard, so we can’t fall behind. I still have a lot of follow-up matters to deal with.”

Yun Zhang glanced at Miss Ding—standing in the corner, not daring to make a sound—and coldly stated, “You have to give her more guidance. My little sister is inexperienced, but you’re all seasoned staff. You know very well what kind of consequences this mess would have. If I hear word of something like this happening again, you can pack up and leave!”

Miss Ding quickly lowered her head and assured him she would look out for Yun Liu. Miss Ding and Yun Liu didn’t move after Yun Zhang left until Yun Liu got tired and sat back down in her chair. She touched up her makeup and gave Miss Ding a look.

Miss Ding got the message and carefully opened the door to take a peek outside before closing the door with a relieved sigh. “He’s gone,” she told Yun Liu.

“Set up a surveillance camera at the door.” Yun Liu ordered as she did her makeup.

Miss Ding didn’t dare to refute. “Now what?” she asked. “That’s it, right? Mr.

Yun gave us a pass, didn’t he?”

“What more does he want?” Yun Liu sneered. “It’s just a small compensation fee. Companies do this sort of thing all the time, so why is he so gung-ho about it when I’m just doing what everyone else is doing? When all is said and done, it’s because we’re not blood-related.”

Miss Ding felt for her. She moved closer to Yun Liu and whispered, “Yun Liu, have you never investigated your background and searched for your biological parents?”

Yun Liu’s hand holding an eyebrow pencil paused briefly before she nonchalantly uttered, “Do you think a rich family would leave their child at an orphanage’s entrance?” The unstated implication was: What good would searching for her parents do? She’d be in a bind if she found her parents and they turned out to be penniless. Whether she would accept such parents aside, she would have to worry about supporting them. She didn’t believe her biological parents could treat her better than the Yun family.

Besides, if her biological family was wealthy like the Yuns, why would they leave their child at the orphanage? It was more likely her parents left her there because they couldn’t afford to raise her, so why would she bother looking for them? That was just asking for trouble.

Miss Ding thought Yun Liu made sense when she heard her comment, so she didn’t say anything else on the subject. Instead, she inquired tentatively, “Then, are we still going to release the articles we prepared?”

Yun Liu didn’t even glance at Miss Ding as she replied, “Of course, we’ll release them. But stop leaving trails; you don’t want to get caught again, do you?”

“Don’t worry! I won’t let them catch us!” Miss Ding hurriedly guaranteed. “Didn’t you notice those people asking us to deal with their legal suits have stopped coming recently? We only got caught because the people I hired were cheap and incompetent.”

Yun Liu slammed her eyebrow pencil on the table. “Do I not pay you enough?”

“Th-that’s not what I meant! I just wanted to save us some money. After all, we currently don’t have much authority in the company,” Miss Ding swiftly groveled.

“Hmph!” Yun Liu lightly snorted. “That’s exactly whywe should spend more money! I’d like to see anyone try to withhold my money!”

‘Nothing is going smoothly!’ Yun Liu silently fumed, and her gaze fell on the magazine spread. She ripped it out, tore Yun Nan’s bright smile into pieces, and hissed, “Why should she have everything while I had to go through so much trouble?” Yun Liu then threw the bits of paper into the trash can.

“Miss Ding, haven’t you found out who their lead actress is yet?” Yun Liu questioned with a frown.

Miss Ding looked troubled as she answered, “Fang Xi is tricky. Some of the people working with them signed confidentiality agreements, so they kept their mouths shut because they didn’t want to get into trouble. The others don’t even have access to the team’s core matters; they don’t know the details despite being on the production team. All they heard was-was—”

“Hurry up and spit it out! What did they hear?” Yun Liu demanded impatiently.

“They said Shi Nian’s sister spends all her time in the production team and has a very good relationship with Yun Nan and several key figures of their studio. The entire Shi family seems to really like Yun Nan.” Miss Ding informed her. She didn’t know if this information was useful, but she honestly couldn’t find anything else, so she could only use it to make up the numbers.

Yun Liu scoffed. ‘Who’d thought the daughter of a wealthy family like her would hang around someone like Yun Nan? Hmph! What a disgrace! She put on princessy airs when I once tried to be nice to her—that ungrateful wench!”

She continued, “Miss Ding, get someone to spread the news that the current lead actress of ‘4:30 P.M.’ had once eloped, took drugs, had an abortion, and was a delinquent. Yun Nan chose her to be the lead actress to attract attention. The movie ‘4:30 P.M.’ is based on a true story—a story about Yun Nan’s adoptive mother! She was once kidnapped and raped, and her experience is similar to what happened to the female lead in the movie.. Anyone with a sense of modesty wouldn’t watch this lousy movie acted by such a wretched person!”
