Chapter 1092: Chapter 554: Displaying Inferior Skill Before an Expert (Part 2)

Chen Fangzhou is also an old veteran movie emperor, a generation older than Liang Ruofan, modest and with a great reputation within the industry. However, his agency isn’t strong, so there’s a good chance he won’t be able to compete with Liang Ruofan.

Shen You’an frowned: "I definitely don’t want to act alongside Liang Ruofan."

During the Travelogue trip, her impression of Liang Ruofan was not good. He seemed quite refined and proper, but when cameras were off, his gaze wasn’t pure.

Adding to that, with the recent barrage of scandals surrounding Liang Ruofan, she’s not interested in having him as a partner.

"What about Chen Fangzhou then?"

Shen You’an nodded: "He’s a great person and actor, far beyond what Liang Ruofan could ever compare with."

But it’s the agency that won’t market him, which is why he’s been overshadowed by Liang Ruofan for so many years. In terms of acting skills and character, Chen Fangzhou crushes Liang Ruofan.

"I understand."

The powerful investor has some casting power. However, what ultimately matters is how Director Xie Quan thinks, as he is the backbone.

This movie is still in the early stages of preparation, and it’ll be a few months before shooting commences. Situations can change in an instant; who knows if Liang Ruofan will still be in a mess by then.

After finalizing the schedule for the first half of the year, Shen You’an exhaled in relief.

She will be focusing on exam preparation in the next half month, gearing up for the upcoming finals.

Shen You’an appeared suddenly for a while, then began attending school regularly.

Since Yu Ruohuan passed away, Gu Bichen also suddenly became normal. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

His grades gradually improved.

Sometimes, when Shen You’an and Liu Runxi were having lunch together, Gu Bichen would naturally join them, as if the three were born to have a close bond.

Since that incident, Rong Xianning hasn’t seen Zhou Rong and her husband again, and Ding Meng couldn’t bear to see him living at the office, so rented another apartment for him.

Rong Xianning seldom went to school, studying alone during the day and writing songs and recording at night whenever inspiration struck, sometimes staying indoors for days. Occasionally, an assistant would deliver some food. Even when staying home, Rong Xianning kept himself neat and tidy, with no trash piles around, maintaining cleanliness.

This evening, Rong Xianning received a courier package.

Shen You’an had sent him a message beforehand, so he knew the package was from her.

Opening the package revealed a stack of study materials and notes filled with exam papers.

Rong Xianning casually flipped through a page and saw Shen You’an’s carefree and bold handwriting.

Notes of a study god are hard to come by.

Shen You’an circled the key points on the study materials. Some major questions were explained more thoroughly than by top teachers, helping Rong Xianning avoid many detours.

Rong Xianning smiled, opened WeChat, took a photo, sent it to Shen You’an, and included a sticker of a small person bowing in thanks.

Shen You’an quickly replied with a pat on the head sticker.

Rong Xianning stared at the sticker for a moment, put away his phone, and picked up the materials to study.

The finals arrived as scheduled.

After completing the first exam, Shen You’an received a call from Zhao Heng.

"Boss, how did the exam go?"

"It was alright."

"That must mean it went really well. I have something to tell you. You were trending just now, you probably didn’t know while you were taking the exam."

Shen You’an opened the trending topics.

#Shen You’an late-night rendezvous with Chen Shucheng skyrocketed to the top of the hot searches, right alongside a bright red "explosive" symbol.

Shen You’an was utterly confused.

"Rendezvous with Chen Shucheng? Why was I unaware?"

This morning at eight, a paparazzi suddenly released a video without warning—Chen Shucheng having a hotel rendezvous with a woman late at night. Although the woman was fully covered, her figure and silhouette were strikingly similar to Shen You’an’s. Additionally, the paparazzi leaked the hotel’s hallway surveillance, showing the woman hastily embracing Chen Shucheng in the corridor. Her face under the surveillance was identical to Shen You’an’s.

The video caused a sensational shock online.

Shen You’an had a very positive public image, and she was always distant from Chen Shucheng in Travelogue, completely disregarding him.

Who could have thought she was privately involved with Chen Shucheng? Such chaos in her young personal life, completely shattering the public’s expectations.

More alarming was that her and Rong Xianning’s CP fans couldn’t handle it, frantically unfollowing and attacking her, saying vicious things about Shen You’an. In just a few hours, her public opinion drastically turned.

Shen You’an saw the face in the video identical to hers; her gaze grew icy: "AI face swapping."

Goodness me, pulling this trick off in front of top hackers, how ridiculously amateurish.

"Boss, I surely believe you. This clearly is a premeditated conspiracy against you, deliberately released during your exam time, with several media accounts stirring the pot to fiercely tarnish your reputation."
