Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 427: Sister Ran: I Can Explain

While recording “24-hours Idol” in City C, the manager had discussed Jiang Shanyi with Boss Wang.

From then on, he knew that Jiang Shanyi was a member of the Yunguang Consortium.

That day, he had even exclaimed that no wonder Yan Xi’s journey was so smooth in the entertainment industry. No one ever dared to force him to sign any weird agreements, and his road to stardom was much more magnanimous than Film Emperor Qin’s.

Other managers might not remember, but regarding Yan Xi’s mysterious backing and the involvement of Jiang Shanyi, the Great God who moved in and out with wizardly elusiveness, the manager remembered everything and even Boss Wang’s expression at that time.

But now…

If Qin Ran was Jiang Shanyi, then didn’t it mean that she was a member of the Yunguang Consortium…

The manager stared at Qin Xiuchen. As his manager, he had followed him for so many years and experienced so many storms but could remain calm even in the face of the Qin family’s Fourth Master.

However, ever since Qin Xiuchen brought Qin Ran back a few months ago, he felt like his bottom line had been repeatedly challenged.

Forget about being the college entrance examination’s top scorer and the creator of the God cards…

“Film Emperor Qin, Yun… what’s going on with the Yunguang Consortium?” The manager stared at him, his legs going soft. “Who on earth is the little niece? Even the Yunguang Consortium is her backing. I remember she seems to do programming…”

He suddenly felt like before he met Qin Ran, his unrealistic conjecture about her then was simply too ridiculous.

He even thought she was trying to cozy up to someone powerful.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but cover his face.

The Yunguang Consortium, an Asian tycoon-level consortium, could also get involved in Yunguang Consortium’s matters in the entertainment industry. He felt like Jiang Shanyi was definitely a management-level figure in the Yunguang Consortium.

“Do you think she’s from the IT Department of the Yunguang Consortium?!” He tightened his grip on his phone. The more he thought about it, the more certain he was. His mind slowly turned as he said, “Last time, I seemed to hear Butler Qin mentioning the IT elite department of the Yunguang Consortium. Everyone is a wizard there. I wonder if little niece is inside. When I see Butler Qin next time, I’ll definitely ask him more questions…”

Qin Xiuchen’s long eyelashes slightly trembled, and he lowered them. He had naturally thought of this as well.

Not far away, the director called Qin Xiuchen.

His expression was no different than usual.

He was so calm?

Taking a sip of the cold mineral water in his hand, the manager stared at Qin Xiuchen’s back. The charming Film Emperor Qin… was stiffly walking back…

Having always thought he was exceptionally calm, the manager was now speechless…

He watched him for a while, and then couldn’t hold himself back from opening his Weibo.

Weibo’s tune changed very quickly. Because of Qin Ran being Jiang Shanyi, Qin Xiuchen, who was already so popular, reached a new high in his traffic. His fans successfully broke the 100 million mark.

The entertainment circle was destined to explode tonight.

Some were happy while some were sad.

Tian Xiaoxiao’s home in Beijing.

Sister Wen was still there, very concerned about Qin Ran’s movements on the Internet.

She was the first to know as soon as Jiang Shanyi’s incident broke out. At this time, she was sitting on the sofa with her mobile phone, looking dumbfounded.

“Sister Wen?” Tian Xiaoxiao poured two glasses of lemonade and put one in front of her. “Why do you look like this?” She raised an eyebrow.

Sister Wen suddenly remembered the original violin song on Tian Xiaoxiao’s homepage. According to Tian Xiaoxiao, Qin Ran had adapted it for her. Many musicians and TV arrangers had liked her song, and some even offered 500,000 yuan for it. Film Empress Jing had even asked to see Tian Xiaoxiao personally…

This wasn’t a question of money, but the relationship between the director and Film Empress Jing…

At that time, Sister Wen couldn’t understand why Tian Xiaoxiao didn’t agree to sell the copyright.

“Do you know why King Yan didn’t let you sell the copyright of your violin song?” Sister Wen grabbed her hand.

When caught by her, the lemonade Tian Xiaoxiao was holding almost spilled out. She shrugged her off and looked up at her, drinking water and calmly asking, “Why?”

“Because the adaptation and arrangement of your violin song were done by Jiang Shanyi,” said Sister Wen.

“It was Ran Ran, how could it be Jiang Shanyi?” Tian Xiaoxiao answered without even thinking about it.

About two minutes later…

She returned to her senses and looked up at Sister Wen. “Wait… who are you talking about?”

“Jiang Shanyi,” Sister Wen repeated.

“Puff—” Tian Xiaoxiao successfully spit out a sip of lemonade.

The producer of “Entertainment Gossip” had asked the official Weibo to withdraw the contract with Tian Xiaoxiao to replace it with Li Shuangning. After another wave of heat, he put away his phone and went to take a shower.

After his shower, he saw his phone frantically ringing on the table.

Wiping his hair with a towel, he strolled over and was immediately shocked to see that it was a call from his boss.

He immediately picked up and, before he even said a word, was quickly scolded. “Who told you to remove Tian Xiaoxiao without authorization? Don’t you know Jiang Shanyi’s popularity? Now all the netizens are scolding our production team, and we’ve even offended Tian Xiaoxiao. Apologize to her. If she doesn’t go live tomorrow, you won’t need to do this column!”

After speaking, he hung up without giving the producer a chance to answer.

Scared to death, he threw aside his towel and, before calling his staff members, quickly saw a message on Weibo—

“Entertainment circle’s ghost genius arranger Jiang Shanyi’s mysterious identity revealed…”

He was immediately stunned when he clicked it to read…

**

Qin Ran was unaware of the carnage happening online.

She received several calls from Lin Siran and the others when she walked out of the elevator.

Hanging up, she quickly saw the car parked on the side of the road.

The lights in the car were dimmed, and a clear, handsome figure could be seen through the dim yellow street lights.

Qin Ran paused. She hadn’t informed Cheng Juan that she was coming out in advance today and had been prepared for the 20-minute walk home.

Walking over to the driver’s seat, she put one hand on the window and knocked on the door with her other hand.

In the driver’s seat, Cheng Juan was leaning on the back of the seat, deep in thought. He lowered the window when he saw her, reached out, and opened the door of the co-pilot’s seat. Raising his clear eyebrows slightly, his voice sounded just as calm. “You’re a little earlier today.”

Qin Ran got into the car. “Why did you come so early?”

She put on her seat belt.

Driving the car onto the main road, Cheng Juan almost seemed to sigh when he heard her question. He tapped the steering wheel with his white fingertips and said, “I was occupying the front row to watch the Great God.”

“I can explain…” Qin Ran leaned against the window and was silent for a while before looking up at the roof of the car.

“Exclusive God-level arranger.” Cheng Juan glanced at her again without any hurry.

Qin Ran was speechless.

She gave up struggling to explain.

She took out her phone and saw 99+ messages on all her social media.

Silently lowering her head, she flipped through her messages. Most of them were from her classmates, which she replied to one by one.

However, Nan Huiyao and the others were still in the laboratory and didn’t bother her at this time.

The two returned to Ting Lan.

The chef had already laid out the dishes.

Both Cheng Mu and Cheng Jin had already eaten. Usually, only Cheng Mu was there, but today, they were both sitting on the sofa waiting for them to return.

They looked at Qin Ran from time to time.

Cheng Mu was playing games on his phone.

Cheng Jin couldn’t help but retract his gaze and turn to Cheng Mu.

When his character died again, Cheng Mu glanced up at Cheng Jin’s stare and couldn’t help but shrink back. “Brother, why are you looking at me?”

“I’m trying to figure out why you’re so calm.” Cheng Jin also paid attention to the incident online and naturally knew about Jiang Shanyi.

He had just said that Jiang Shanyi wasn’t a simple character a second ago, but the next second, it was revealed that he was actually Qin Ran…

“Oh, you’re talking about Miss Qin’s arrangement?” Cheng Mu retracted his gaze and continued playing the game, his tone still calm. “What’s there to be curious about? You don’t seem to know many things.”

Cheng Mu knew a lot about Continent M, and it wasn’t the first time he saw Qin Ran with a core figure of the Yunguang Consortium.

Although he was dull, he knew that Qin Ran must be at least a core figure of the Yunguang Consortium with such connections.

Not to mention Jiang Shanyi, even if it was revealed that she was an intermediate member of 129, he would only feel slightly surprised.

Having been looked down upon by Cheng Mu, Cheng Jin was now speechless…

**

Compared to others.

The one having the most difficult time was Qin Yu.

She shrank under the covers, her mobile phone still on Yan Xi’s Weibo homepage.

Yan Xi’s post had already reached 1.25 million comments.

Her mind went completely blank when she read it.

She harshly bit her lip with his teeth and suddenly remembered how back in high school, rumors had spread that Qin Ran had given Lin Siran a box of out-of-print Yan Xi albums…
