"Brother Zhang," Ning Xi returned to the hotel that had been arranged by the crew for actors and dialled Zhang Qingyun's phone. "Did you find the person behind this?"

"This kind of behaviour is not about a big company, but more of a personal grudge with you," Zhang Qingyun had sorted out all the people Ning Xi had met recently. "I have a few suspects for you to screen."

After listening to his list, Ning Xi's mouth curved. "I can guess who it is."

"What will you do?" Listening to Ning Xi's tone, it didn't seem like she was intending to let this matter go.

"If I don't return the favour, it would be impolite," Ning Xi smiled. "And politeness is one of my many advantages."

"I've never seen someone shameless boast about herself like this." Even Zhang Qingyun didn't want to let things go lightly. Otherwise, insiders would think that Jiuji artists could be easily bullied. "But I agree with what you said. We are all, after all, kind and honest people."

"That's right, Brother Zhang, thank you for helping me remove the topics from Weibo," Ning Xi grinned. "Did the withdrawal cost a lot of money?"

The phone went silent for a moment.

"Ning Xi, the company didn't look for anyone to withdraw the topic."

Her smile froze. "Then who was it?"

"We don't know yet," He replied. He had thought she knew about it, but listening to her, it seemed that even she was unaware. To stop her from worrying, he jokingly said, "Maybe it was one of your tycoon fans."

"Which local tycoon will be so selfless in his pursuit of chasing stars?" She smiled. Hanging up the phone, she thought for a long time but couldn't think of who would help her. She could only put it down for the time being.

"Other companies didn't stand up, but you rushed out to deal with Ning Xi. Do you regret it, now?" Zhu Moli's agent noticed that things were bad when Ning Xi's name was removed from the hot topics' list. Later, he had called and asked the person in the marketing department of Weibo with whom he had a good relationship with.

No matter which sector, everyone followed professional ethics. They had to work after receiving money. The same was true for the marketing people. If you accept the money and go back on your word, that was like smashing a rock on your own foot. But this time, it was so scary that the marketing people who had worked with them for so long had actually returned their money.

Hanging up the phone, he knew they had run into a wall. This newcomer, Ning Xi, seemed pure and harmless on the surface. But he was afraid that there was someone behind her protecting her, whose identity was very special. Otherwise, these marketing people wouldn't make such a big deal of a small thing.

"Before, when I was targeting Ning Xi, the company agreed and so did you. Now when things go wrong, why do you push it on my head?" Being criticised by her agent, Zhu Moli's face sank. "Besides we still don't know whether or not the person behind her has a great identity."

If she really had great support and background, how could Ning Xi not even get the role of a protagonist? Her most famous role was a supporting role in 'Beautiful Red Clouds', that too produced by Jiuji.

In 'Yunyue of Han Dynasty', she played Emperor Wu's daughter. In 'My Heart Longs for You', it was even more miserable. She had only a few shots in total.

In the entertainment circle, there were artists with big names but didn't have a professional team to create a script for them. So they would launch a publicity campaign to create a hype around them. A movie can't become popular if they have an unknown and talentless person like Ning Xi in it. It would be too awkward.
