Arc 1: Part 44
That evening, as usual, Bai Li was scrolling through Weibo when she once again saw the name "Lan Shuer" trending.
"Lan Shuer vs Xi Tong Su Acting Skills Showdown" trended on social media.
"Lan Shuer? Huh, isn't she that persistent model, what has she plotted against Xi Tong Su now? What's this about acting skills showdown?"
Bai Li clicked on the most popular headline, which detailed a heated dispute between Xi Tong Su and Lan Shuer that had happened that morning, right outside the set of "The Emperor".
"Lan Shuer is really something, huh? What is her beef with Xi Tong Su, that she won't let her go?"
Bai Li, who had an aversion to Lan Shuer and felt an inevitable disappointment towards Xi Tong Su, commented, "If it were me, I would have gathered evidence of Ji Yu's infidelity with Lan Shuer and slapped it out there, adding insult to Lan Shuer's injury."
She then scrolled through the comments, amidst which netizens from all corners were voicing their opinions in full bloom.
"In summary, Lan Shuer has tacitly admitted to her plotting against Xi Tong Su. The big shot who got screwed over is screenwriter Liu Ming. Xi Tong Su believes that Lan Shuer seduced Ji Yu, but Ji Yu hasn't commented. Lan Shuer, however, accuses Xi Tong Su of damaging the drama team for her own selfish desires... That's the scoop. Whose side are you on?"
"Lan Shuer is the innocent one! Settle personal grudges privately; don't drag my beloved 'The Emperor' directed by Director Zhang into this!"
"Nonsense! If she's innocent, thieves are angels! Those who are cleaning up her image can shut up. Regardless of who's the better actor, you can't deny that Lan Shuer plotted against Xi Tong Su, right?"
"Xi Tong Su is generous-hearted, indeed. Even when Lan Shuer is trying to undermine her, she's still focusing on acting. I wonder why there's no news of her with Ji Yu."
"My uncle shared an insider's info, Ji Yu and Lan Shuer have already broken up."
"I hate Ji Yu! He's two-timing, pretending to be nice but ended up cheating! I'm unfollowing, turning from a fan to a hater!"
Bai Li was scrolling through Weibo while munching on her snacks, following the links and comments, she soon found herself in a poll created by a popular Weibo user.
"Xi Tong Su vs Lan Shuer, who's the better actor?"
Right now, 'The Emperor's Son' has not released any trailers yet, voting hasn't opened, but the comments section is already bustling.
Bai Li pondered for a bit, decided not to comment, and just bookmarked the page.
When the real acting video clips get released, she would then see who acted better and vote.
"Voting? Such talent among netizens."
Tong Su was lying on the hotel bed, chatting away with Xi Chen Zhou on a video call, her face relaxed without a hint of stress.
"Big brother, I’ll show you what it is to be crushed!"
Xi Chen Zhao sat in his study room, a soft smile on his face, "I'm looking forward to it. How long will you stay in the drama team? Is the closed drama crew safe? I told you to bring more assistants, yet you didn’t listen."
Tong Su proudly waved her phone, "I won't be staying long either; if it's fast, maybe three to five days. Both Director Zhang and Sister Liu are taking good care of me, one assistant is enough."
The assistant had been meticulously chosen by Xi Chen Zhao for her. She was a woman in her late twenties, efficient and decisive.
Tong Su occupied a suite, with the assistant staying in the adjoining guest room.
"Brother, speaking of which, how late were you up last night? I'm at the drama team's site now, not at home, so I can't watch over you. You have to sleep early."
"Alright, I'll remember."
As the two chatted, there was a sudden knock on the door of the hotel room, followed by Ji Yu's angry voice.
"Tong Su! I know you are in there, open the door!"
