An Unexpected Discovery

At around nine in the morning, she received a call from Zhuo Yan. "Miss Ye..."

Ye Yihe remained silent for a moment. "Director Zhuo, just call me Yihe. Hearing you be so polite makes me a bit nervous."

Zhuo Yan: "..."

"It's like this. I just received a notice from the police. The verdict for Fang Meimei's side is out."

"Oh."

Ye Yihe was not surprised at all. With such solid evidence, the progress of the case was bound to be smooth, not to mention her brother had personally intervened.

"Three years," Zhuo Yan cleared his throat. "After this, I plan to go burn incense and pray to Buddha for half a month, so the next episode of the show will probably have to be postponed for a while."

"Is there anything else?" Ye Yihe asked.

Zhuo Yan was stunned for a moment, then replied, "No."

"Alright, I got it," Ye Yihe told him. "Be safe on the road. Sincerity brings results."

Zhuo Yan: "..." Just like that, she agreed?!

"Wait, wait a minute! There's someone on my side who wants to talk to you," he said hurriedly.

Immediately after, she heard a familiar voice. "Ye Yihe, I'm Du Yiwei."

"Director Du?" Ye Yihe was surprised. "You're with Zhuo the Old Sixth..."

"It's me. Old Zhuo and I are friends. I happened to hear him mention you, so I wanted to say hello."

"Thank you, Director Du," Ye Yihe replied politely.

From the other end of the line came Zhuo Yan's grumbling, "Why am I Zhuo the Old Sixth? I'm a respectable director too!"

Ye Yihe: "..."

"Don't mind him. I heard you're joining a film crew in a few days?" Du Yiwei asked.

Ye Yihe raised her eyebrows. "Joining a crew? I haven't received any notice."

"Huh? You still haven't received the notice?" Du Yiwei was also stunned, saying in confusion, "That shouldn't be. The news has already been leaked..."

"Thank you for the reminder, Director Du. I'll ask my manager about it later." Ye Yihe regained her usual calm composure. "Perhaps things have been too busy lately, so there was an oversight."

"Alright, then go ahead with your work. Let's chat again when we have the chance."

After hanging up, Ye Yihe sent Su Su a message: [Sister Su Su, are you free right now?]

Not long after the message was sent, Su Su called her.

"What's the matter?"

Ye Yihe did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Sister Su Su, I need you to help me look into something."

Su Su was slightly surprised. "What is it?"

"I want to know the filming start date for 《Sovereign Schemes of a Golden Age》."

"Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Su Su explained, "I only received the notice two days ago. This drama will skip the opening ceremony and the costume photoshoot. Everything is simplified, and the official date to join the crew hasn't been set yet."

"Who told you this news?" Ye Yihe pressed.

Though puzzled, Su Su answered honestly, "A small assistant next to Director Fang. Is there a problem?"

"Sister Su Su, we might have been tricked," Ye Yihe said seriously. "Director Zhuo just called me and said the reality show will be suspended for half a month. Director Du, who was next to him, mentioned joining the crew. According to him, 《Sovereign Schemes of a Golden Age》 will start filming in a few days."

Hearing this, Su Su immediately became serious. "Let me go double-check. Wait for my news."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Sister Su Su."

"It's my duty."

Not long after, Su Su called back, her tone extremely grave. "I just called Director Fang. The lead actors are joining the crew the day after tomorrow. Although the opening ceremony is canceled, the costume photoshoot is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. That assistant who brought the news last time was fired last month for taking bribes in secret."

"It seems someone did this on purpose." Ye Yihe curled her lips slightly.

Su Su did not expect them to play dirty at this time, bribing staff to deliver fake news. It was truly despicable and shameless!

"Sister Su Su, who do you think did this?" Ye Yihe already had an answer in her heart.

It was either Lin Wan or her manager.

Without thinking, Su Su blurted out, "Zhang Yi."

"My thoughts exactly."

No matter how good Su Su's temper was, her face darkened at this moment, and she couldn't help but curse, "They are truly like lingering ghosts, always coming up with these underhanded tricks!"

She then said with some relief, "Fortunately, Director Du reminded you. Otherwise, if you, as the second female lead, were absent for the photoshoot the day after tomorrow without a reason, you would not only leave a bad impression on the director, but the media would definitely not miss this chance to smear you, saying you're acting like a diva..."

Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.

"By the way, Sister Su Su, who was finally cast as the female lead for this drama?" Ye Yihe suddenly asked.

"It's Mu Dongdao, who just won the Best Supporting Actress award," Su Su replied. "Also, Lin Wan got the role of the third female lead."

"If they want to play, then I'll play with them." Ye Yihe let out a devilish smile. "Sister Su Su, just pretend you don't know anything for these two days. We'll give them a surprise when we join the crew."

"Alright." Su Su did not forget to remind her, "You're joining the crew the day after tomorrow. Take a good rest these two days and keep up with your skincare. Don't take your natural beauty for granted, you must maintain your best state!" ||CHAPTER_SEPARATOR
