Chapter 125: What Massive Connections This Must Take!

But what she said was one thing, and whether others believed her was quite another.

Looking at Yun Fu, who was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, looking completely carefree and nonchalant, Director Liu inexplicably felt a sense of impending danger. Qiu Fangfei had thoroughly offended Yun Fu this time.

But as the director, he still had to step in and smooth things over: "If something is lost, check the surveillance and look for evidence, instead of making a scene based on pure intuition. Disperse, everyone! Don't you have scenes to shoot this afternoon?"

Only then did the crowd finally disperse.

Soon, only Yun Fu and Qiao An were left in the lounge. Qiu Fangfei shot Yun Fu a venomous glare before she left.

Qiao An looked at Yun Fu, who was standing by the bed with a cigarette between her fingers. Her back looked so domineering and aloof that Qiao An did not dare to step forward.

Even though Yun Fu made no further movements and had no expression on her face, Qiao An felt her hair stand on end.

Looking at Yun Fu's reaction earlier, it really felt as if she was going to strangle Qiu Fangfei to death. Qiao An had never expected Yun Fu to exude such an intimidating aura.

"Xiao Fu, do you still want to eat?" she asked quietly after a moment.

Yun Fu waited until she finished her cigarette before slowly returning to her seat and picking up the lunch box that had already gone cold.

"Let me heat it up for you first," Qiao An said quickly, reaching out.

Just as she was about to touch the lunch box, Yun Fu stopped her.

She looked up at Qiao An and set the lunch box back down on the table.

The soft thud made Qiao An's heart tremble.

"Who are Qiu Fangfei's rivals?"

"Huh?" Qiao An didn't react at first, but meeting Yun Fu's cold eyes, her mind cleared instantly. "Tong Zhenzhen from her agency—they pretend to be close friends—and Ouyang Ting, who also participated in that travel variety show. And there's also..."

"Give her endorsement deal to Tong Zhenzhen."

She couldn't be bothered to deal with someone like Qiu Fangfei herself; it was better to let them fight among themselves.

Qiao An left with the lunch box.

In the lounge, Yun Fu picked up the box.

She opened it, staring expressionlessly at the sparkling bracelet inside.

It had almost been broken.

She took out her phone and sent a message to Monday: [Hack the surveillance cameras of my set. And while you're at it, look into Qiu Fangfei.]

[Understood, Boss.]

Director Liu went with his staff to check the surveillance footage, but the cameras happened to be broken, and they couldn't see anything from that time frame.

Although he believed Yun Fu in his heart, without evidence, he couldn't blame Qiu Fangfei.

Just then, he overheard some crew members talking: "I'm seriously speechless. She dropped it in her own car, yet she accused Yun Fu. As if Yun Fu would even care about her necklace."

"Right? And I just heard her telling her assistant to deny everything no matter what. Tsk tsk."

"We should tell the director. Otherwise, if this blows up, it won't be good for anyone."

However, just as Qiu Fangfei was seething with anger and plotting how to scheme against Yun Fu, a video suddenly appeared online.

It was a very clear surveillance recording. In the video, Qiu Fangfei angrily slammed open a door, stormed inside, grabbed something from the table, and threw it. She wanted to grab something else, but her hand was caught.

The owner of that hand then appeared in the frame. It was Yun Fu.

The video ended there.

[Oh my god, what's going on?! Is Qiu Fangfei crazy? Did Yun Fu offend her? Why is she treating our Xiao Fu like this?]

[Does she think we Puffs don't exist? As if she's the only one with fans and protectors!]

[This woman is insane. How did Yun Fu offend her for her to make such a scene? Is no one going to do anything about this?]

The character Qian Xuan, whom Yun Fu was currently playing, was highly popular with the audience. People are naturally selfish and would always side with their favorites.

First of all, the general public sided with Yun Fu.

Gradually, Qiu Fangfei's fans joined the fray, clamoring that Yun Fu must have done something intolerable. Otherwise, why would their usually sweet Fangfei lose her temper?

However, some crew members soon couldn't stand it anymore and revealed the whole story. Although they hadn't seen how Yun Fu dealt with Qiu Fangfei, and the official surveillance was supposedly broken, what they did know was that Qiu Fangfei had lost something, threw a tantrum to cause trouble for Yun Fu, and then tried to frame her.

[Wow! Does this woman have no shame? Disgusting!]

[And some people call her the "Nation's Daughter." If you had a daughter like this, you'd lose at least ten years off your life!]

[She's such a hypocrite. She usually acts so weak, sweet, and cute, but who knew she was actually like this.]

[I heard the financial backing behind her is quite powerful. Hmph, no wonder she bullies others like this!]

On the set that afternoon, everyone held their breath, terrified of drawing any bad luck upon themselves.

Director Liu was also furious whenever he saw Qiu Fangfei. The crew had been doing so well, but she had ruined the atmosphere on the very first day.

Fortunately, Yun Fu's excellent acting helped calm him down.

When the sun was at its peak, the sound of a vehicle suddenly echoed from outside the set.

A black minivan drove up slowly.

A middle-aged man in a suit got out. With a humble and polite attitude, he walked up to Yun Fu, who was resting. "Miss Yun Fu, I am the manager of Juke Pavilion. Mr. Lian asked me to deliver some afternoon tea."

Just then, Yun Fu's phone buzzed.

[Have a light snack for now. I'll take you out for a nice meal tonight.] He already knew what had happened at noon.

Yun Fu raised an eyebrow, put away her phone, and nodded. Much of the impatience in her eyes faded.

The middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief and quickly waved. Two staff members got out of the van and began unloading boxes of exquisite food.

"Hello, Director Liu. Sorry for the intrusion. This is a small token of appreciation from Miss Yun. Thank you all for your patience regarding the trouble this afternoon."

His polite manner made Director Liu and the entire crew feel very comfortable. After delivering the food, he nodded to Yun Fu and quickly departed.

It happened to be a break, so it didn't disrupt their work at all.

*Yun Fu must have arranged this. How thoughtful of her,* everyone thought.

But when they saw the seal engraved on the boxes, everyone froze.

"Juke Pavilion?! Oh my god, isn't this... the place where you can't even get a table even if you make a reservation?"

"Good heavens, it really is Juke Pavilion! Miss Yun must have spent a fortune!"

"I never dreamed I'd get to eat food from Juke Pavilion in my lifetime. This is amazing."

"Just how powerful are her connections?"

Even Director Liu, who had seen it all, couldn't help but look surprised.

The other actors and staff members looked at Yun Fu, who was still lounging nonchalantly in her deck chair, and called out in unison, "Thank you, Sister Yun Fu!"

Some of them couldn't resist taking photos to post on Weibo.

Having eaten her food, they naturally felt obliged to sing her praises; they had nothing but compliments for Yun Fu.

Looking at the pastries and snacks placed before her, Qiu Fangfei was caught in a dilemma of whether to eat them or not. She was about to explode with rage.
