Li Wen knew about the rumors between Yin Tianyu and Ye Meng.
Especially with the gossip spreading online and the photos the paparazzi had snapped—Yin Tianyu’s side still hadn’t shown any intention of clarifying things.
When she first heard about it, she was absolutely furious. At the beginning, she even spoke up for Yin Tianyu.
But now, seeing the attitude of Yin Tianyu’s team, she could tell he was just a two-timing jerk.
Over on Yin Tianyu’s side, when he found out that the script had actually come from Ye Shaohua, he was naturally shocked.
“The lead role actually went to Qu Ran, who’s under her company,” Yin Tianyu’s agent said, his jaw practically dropping. “Tianyu, did you know that she wrote ‘Ten Thousand Gods’?”
Yin Tianyu shook his head, his expression complicated. “I’ve been busy with other things the past few days, so I haven’t really talked to her much. And she never mentioned it to me.”
“This is just bizarre,” Yin Tianyu’s agent said. He had originally dismissed Ye Shaohua as nothing special, but now that he knew the truth, his feelings were just as mixed. “She actually knows how to write a script? You’ve been dating her for so long, and you didn’t even know that?”
And on top of that, not only could she write scripts, but she’d given the resources for ‘Ten Thousand Gods’ directly to Qu Ran?
“Does this Ye Shaohua even consider you her boyfriend or not?” The more the agent thought about it, the more annoyed he got. “Forget her not telling you about this—she even stole a role that could have been yours. And some newbie from her company managed to land the male lead.”
That was what frustrated the agent the most.
Yin Tianyu hadn’t really expected to get the lead role anyway, since there were two Best Actors joining the cast.
Losing to those veteran actors, he had nothing to say. But… the role ended up being taken by a newcomer under Ye Shaohua?
That was a bit hard for both of them to swallow.
“Get in touch with her,” Yin Tianyu said after thinking for a moment. “Just tell her I want to see her.”
The agent had been planning to contact Ye Shaohua anyway, so hearing that, he naturally went to reach out to her right away.
Yin Tianyu didn’t say anything more. He just stared thoughtfully at the TV, which was broadcasting Director Yu’s announcement of the cast list, along with the news about Ye Shaohua.
Over the years, he had looked into quite a bit of information about the Qing Gang. The things Ye Qing had done were all in his grasp, and he was just waiting for the right opportunity. But Ye Qing was just too cautious in his actions.
In the end, the two of them already knew what the other was up to.
In Yin Tianyu’s eyes, Ye Shaohua was truly foolish—willingly letting her own father and the gang members use her as a shield, all while looking utterly thrilled about it.
But now, seeing this news report, Yin Tianyu felt a bit uncertain about his analysis of Ye Shaohua.
He hadn’t expected that Feisheng Entertainment, which had been nothing but an empty shell weighed down by countless charges, could still pull off such a turnaround. Forget everything else—just based on ‘Ten Thousand Gods’ alone, Qu Ran becoming a top-tier star was practically guaranteed.
If it weren’t for those charges, even if Ye Qing had tampered with things, he couldn’t have touched Feisheng.
Yin Tianyu prided himself on having figured Ye Shaohua out completely. But now, this move from her caught him off guard, making him feel like she was slipping out of his control.
That was why he wanted to have his agent arrange a meeting with Ye Shaohua.
Yin Tianyu had always been meticulous, and right now, he needed to confirm whether Ye Shaohua actually knew about the things he had done.
Thinking about this, his eyes darkened.
But this time, Ye Shaohua—who had always come whenever called—said she didn’t have the time.
Feeling uneasy about the whole situation and worried that he might have made a mistake, Yin Tianyu went directly to Feisheng to find her.
Feisheng wasn’t as dead and silent as he had imagined. The employees were all working with a very positive attitude.
This was not what Yin Tianyu had expected.
The doubt in his heart only grew. He waited there for a while, and finally, Ye Shaohua arrived.
“Shaohua, you’re here.” A perfect smile curled at the corners of his lips as he took a step forward, intending to hug her, but she avoided him.
Yin Tianyu acted as if nothing had happened, still smiling. “So ‘Ten Thousand Gods’ was written by you. And you didn’t even tell me.”
Ye Shaohua replied casually, “That was years ago. I wrote it back when I was a freshman with nothing better to do.”
Yin Tianyu didn’t doubt this.
According to the information he had gathered, Ye Shaohua did do some online freelance work during her freshman year. But he hadn’t looked into it deeply, since she hadn’t made a big deal out of it. He had just thought she was messing around.
He never imagined she had written something as legendary as ‘Ten Thousand Gods.’
“What are you planning to do next?” Yin Tianyu felt a bit more at ease now. As long as things hadn’t slipped out of his control, it was fine.
“Run Feisheng well,” Ye Shaohua said, her tone softening slightly. “I don’t want to disappoint the people who stayed.”
The news that Feisheng was on the verge of collapse had already spread among some of the higher-ups.
Too many of the top executives had left Feisheng Entertainment along with Yu Qingjiu.
The ones who stayed were mostly the rank-and-file employees.
And people like Li Wen.
In the original storyline, there actually weren’t this many people.
But since they had chosen to stay, Ye Shaohua intended to do a good job. She couldn’t just let these people down, could she?
That wasn’t her style.
“Run Feisheng well?” Yin Tianyu was a bit taken aback when he heard how serious Ye Shaohua’s response was.
He stared intently at her face for a long time, feeling a sigh rise within him. He lowered his voice and said, “What a shame…”
For a brief moment, Yin Tianyu wanted to let these people off.
But then he thought—how innocent had his own father been? Ye Qing had killed him too. And with that thought, any sympathy he might have felt for Ye Shaohua’s upcoming fate vanished.
“Well, you focus on your work,” he said, having gotten the answer he wanted and confirmed that Ye Shaohua still knew nothing. Finally relieved, he added, “I won’t bother you anymore.”
With that, he put on his sunglasses and baseball cap and left directly.
Even as he walked away, he didn’t look back even once.
And naturally, he didn’t see that behind him, Ye Shaohua was leaning against the desk with her arms crossed, a playful smile curling at her lips.
Tsk. Judging by how Yin Tianyu was thinking right now, in his eyes, she was just a clueless pretty vase… No, not even a vase, probably. After all, she hadn’t even managed to catch his interest.
