Chapter 132: Some People Are Just Shameless

As expected of a big shot, her calm and composed demeanor in handling matters was truly impressive.

From that day onward, Yun Fu’s standing within the crew soared dramatically.

No one whispered about the novel behind her back anymore, nor did anyone glance at her with disdain.

It was inevitable—knowledge changes fate.

Finally, the day came for shooting the commercial. Director Liu generously gave her a day off, allowing her to leave the set without any worries.

This was a privilege none of the others received. Though envious, they dared not voice their feelings—after all, none of them had brought such high attention to the crew like Yun Fu had.

Yun Fu herself finally realized she had become famous—she frowned as she gazed out the car window at the crowd outside, which seemed like a horde of zombies, densely packed and unrelenting.

“Xiao Fu, I really need to hire you an assistant, maybe even two bodyguards,” said Qiao An.

Yun Fu finally lifted her head from the phone and stared silently at the crowd ahead.

Bodyguards? Bodyguards who can’t even handle her? Forget it.

After struggling through the crowd and leaving the set, Qiao An breathed a sigh of relief and grew even more determined to find an assistant and bodyguards for Yun Fu—she was truly famous now.

At that moment, in the advertising department meeting room of Xunmo Game Company, the atmosphere was extremely gloomy.

A woman with very short hair, exuding an air of efficiency and severity, angrily slammed a document onto the table.

“Slap!” She furrowed her brows and stared at those present. “So you’re all just going to sit here?! You didn’t even tell me such an important thing as the photographer requesting leave. Do you think I’m dead, that you can ignore me, the director?!”

The others lowered their heads, intimidated by her fury, unable to speak.

After a moment, a weak voice finally spoke up: “Director, we only received the news this morning. That photographer has always been like this—he especially likes Xi Rou’er, as you know. Who would have expected he’d suddenly quit because the spokesperson changed…”

If it weren’t for the recent hot search, they wouldn’t have even wanted Yun Fu, a star with no real popularity, to be their spokesperson.

The woman’s anger flared even more.

“So you all think she’s not worthy of being the spokesperson, and you collectively go on strike?”

She slammed the table again, her voice sharp: “Let me tell you, who the spokesperson is is decided from above. Our job is to cooperate. If you act so arrogantly, you will be the ones to pay for it!”

The woman stood up, restraining her anger but issuing a command: “Contact the photographer immediately. If the photographer doesn’t show up when the model arrives, pack up and go home!”

With that, she clicked her heels and left.

Inside the meeting room, the group exchanged glances and fell silent again.

One person muttered, “I don’t get why the director is so protective of that Yun Fu. What’s that professor, compared to Xi Rou’er’s influence? He’s nothing.”

“Exactly. The original spokesperson was fine. Not sure what tricks she pulled, but she managed to replace her with Yun Fu. That’s impressive.”

“Xi Rou’er has always had the best resources. Now to be replaced by a third-tier star—how can she swallow that?”

Of course, Xi Rou’er couldn’t swallow it. But having lived a lifetime before, she knew the tricks of the trade and would not act impulsively.

Ever since learning Yun Fu had taken this endorsement from her, she had already begun plotting how to pull Yun Fu down from her pedestal.

Whether she succeeded depended on her own abilities.

Meanwhile, Yun Fu, accompanied by Qiao An, entered this company that had dominated the industry within just a few short years.

It was filled with cutting-edge technology and exuded an air of high sophistication.

But as someone who had come from Gu’Ou, having at least seen the grand SC building, Yun Fu couldn’t muster much interest.

“Miss Yun Fu, right? I’m Fu Yunchan, your host today,” said a woman.

Looking at the girl before her, Fu Yunchan felt that the company had finally chosen their spokesperson.

This girl clearly suited the heroine roles of their projects; just standing there, she seemed extraordinary.

“Hello, Miss Fu,” Yun Fu responded.

The two exchanged pleasantries, but Yun Fu, growing bored, began wandering around the hall, where life-sized hero models were displayed.

Five minutes passed without any notice to proceed with the shoot, and Yun Fu frowned.

Qiao An sensed something was amiss and her expression changed slightly. “Miss Fu, we’re here to film the commercial. When will the shoot begin?”

Fu Yunchan stared at her silent phone, wishing she could storm into the office and strangle the few people inside.

By some strange impulse, she glanced at Yun Fu.

Their eyes met—cool, calm, with hidden turbulence beneath the surface—and her heart skipped a beat.

“I’m terribly sorry. Our photographer’s had some issues. We sincerely apologize and ask you both to wait a little longer.”

Meanwhile, rumors began to spread online.

[Heard Yun Fu arrived at Xunmo Company, but the photographer quit upon hearing the spokesperson was changed to Yun Fu.]

[Understandable. If I were the photographer, I wouldn’t work either. A top actress versus a third-tier star—there’s no comparison.]

[So Yun Fu must be in an awkward spot now, not even welcomed by the whole company.]

But some defended Yun Fu.

[What’s wrong with this company? If the spokesperson is decided by higher-ups, you should just shoot. This fuss—do they really think they can control the world?]

[Some people are just so arrogant, especially certain fans who think only their idol deserves the best, and everyone else is unworthy. Disgusting!]

[I like Yun Fu. If they replaced her with that other person, I’d be unhappy.]

They all underestimated Yun Fu’s influence.

Fu Yunchan looked at the girl sitting composedly on the sofa and then at her unresponsive phone, gritting her teeth. “Miss Yun, please come this way. We’ll start filming. I’ll handle the photographer situation!”

She refused to believe that as a director, she couldn’t manage her own advertising department.

Yun Fu glanced at her, expression unreadable. Yet that look made the strong-willed Fu Yunchan’s legs tremble.

Yun Fu slowly stood and walked toward her, her voice cool and clear: “No need.”

She gestured for Fu Yunchan to lead the way, and the three of them walked toward the commercial set.

Fu Yunchan was still bold; she arranged for someone to do Yun Fu’s makeup and went out to contact the photographer.

But the photographers working with their company seemed mad—one after another refused.

“They really think they’re something!” Fu Yunchan was considering whether to alert higher-ups when she suddenly heard unrest outside.

Irritated, she thought another troublemaker had arrived and stormed outside, her anger flaring.

But upon seeing who it was, all her words caught in her throat.
