"You guys can't do this! How can you accept our bribe and not give anything in return?"
There were plenty of agencies and artists that tried to bribe the brand, but none of them openly talked about it like Ma Weiwei and her agency did.
"Go look for the person that accepted the bribe. Lina, send them out! Why don't you take a proper look at yourself. As a fake replica, you should have some self awareness. Did you think you were the real thing?"
The real Tiffany was different, she had the ability to directly reject a big international brand, while they dreamed of working with her.
After all, the only artist in Seoul to ever achieve anything overseas and receive international fame, was Tiffany. Moreover, she was the direct student of Jones, 'The Father of Sci-fi'. Therefore, she was the only person worthy of representing an international skincare brand.
Ma Weiwei continued to fight for the role, but her manager eventually stopped her, "Let's go..."
"Are we leaving? How do we explain ourselves to Boss?" the artists director asked. "Weiwei, you need to try harder. It wasn't easy for the agency to help you get this far, yet you can't even secure a decent endorsement. If news gets out about this, how do we keep going?"
"If you can't, then don't!" Ma Weiwei said before she rushed out and entered the elevator without even putting on her sunglasses.
At that moment, the staff in the elevator all witnessed the upset look on Ma Weiwei's face.
-"Tiffany...are you Tiffany? Can you give me an autograph?"
A female staff wearing black-framed glasses passed her notebook to Ma Weiwei. However, the male colleague beside her quickly pointed out,
-"You've made a mistake, she's not Tiffany, she's that replica..."
Hearing this, the woman quickly adjusted her glasses and looked at Ma Weiwei carefully. A moment later, her face turned red.
-"I thought that since she was invited to an audition for a high class skincare brand, she would definitely be Tiffany..."
-"Not so loud."
-"Why is she here?" This woman happened to be a fan of Tiffany's, so she obviously despised Ma Weiwei. Now that she got a chance to see her in person, she naturally mocked her, "In this world, karma determines ones next life. For someone that advances by treading on others, I hope you will someday be torn to shreds."
Ma Weiwei was being squished inside the small elevator as her hands clenched tightly into fists. If there weren't so many people around her, she would have ripped the b*tch apart. Unfortunately, there were so many eyes on her.
-"If you really want to help Tiffany, you shouldn't talk about her in the same breath as this woman. It's a waste of time to even hate her," the other staff laughed. Of course, this was after Ma Weiwei left the elevator. However, Ma Weiwei's ears still picked up on it.
After hearing this, Ma Weiwei stormed out of the building, disregarding everyone that looked her way.
Was she supposed to live the rest of her life in Tiffany's shadow?
Perhaps, due to orders from the artists director to look for Ma Weiwei, Ma Weiwei's manager had no choice but to contact Han Xiuche. After all, she had already lost control of Ma Weiwei by that point.
Although Han Xiuche didn't want to get involved, especially during such a sensitive time, he couldn't help but sympathize with Ma Weiwei.
Both of them had been hurt by Tiffany. If he didn't help Ma Weiwei, then no one would help her.
However, neither of them understood that, one was lying to himself because he dreamed about love and was hurt, so he slandered Tiffany to convince himself to give up. Whilst the other went even further by doing plastic surgery so she could use Tiffany's looks to leech off her popularity, feed on her fame and steal her company.
Yet, not only did they not acknowledge their own faults, they kept trying to throw the blame on the person that wasn't satisfying their desires...
In the end, Han Xiuche located Ma Weiwei at a bar and carried her back to his place.
"No matter what I do, I don't think I'll ever escape the curse of Tiffany."
"Compose yourself a little." Han Xiuche placed a wet towel on Ma Weiwei's forehead. "Whatever problem we have, we simply have to throw the blame on Tiffany and everything will be over."
"But, how many people are still willing to believe me at this point?" Ma Weiwei buried her head and began to cry. "I've already changed my face to look like her, what am I supposed to do? Han Xiuche, I'm honestly tired..."
"Get some rest. I'll get justice for you tomorrow!"
"What are you going to do?"
"Don't worry!" Han Xiuche pulled out his laptop as well as a blanket. He then covered Ma Weiwei with the blanket before delving into his own world: he went online and began typing up insults.
His words were simple and harsh.
Han Xiuche :
"Tiffany, how much further do you want to push Ma Weiwei? Are you going to stop after another person dies? You already have everything, stop being so ruthless!"
As soon as this comment was posted, all those that saw it, including Tiffany, were shocked.
Tiffany didn't even do anything, yet she was being called a ruthless person.
This time, Tiffany's fans could no longer hold back their anger as they stepped forward and began to fight back,
_"My Fany took 'Mini-Kim' to the hospital yesterday morning and spent the rest of the afternoon in Hyatt Regency. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for spouting such nonsense, Han Xiuche?"
_"Han Xiuche, if you're going to claim that Tiffany is applying pressure to Ma Weiwei, you need to show us some evidence. Besides, didn't you say that you and Ma Weiwei weren't familiar with each other?"
_"Just because Ma Weiwei made herself look like Tiffany, does it mean that everytime she gets bullied, it's automatically caused by Tiffany? I'm sorry, but My Fany does not have that much spare time!"
_"God will eventually deal with those that are despicable!"
All along, Han Xiuche had been trying his best to maintain Ma Weiwei's image as a victim so she could cling onto Tiffany and remind her that she was bound to suffer everytime she thought things were going well.
Of course, anyone with a brain knew that he was obviously creating hype. After all, he had previously admitted that he gave Superstar Media to Ma Weiwei because he was trying to leech off Tiffany's fame. But, he had already implanted the image that Ma Weiwei was the victim, deep in the minds of the public.
Whenever Ma Weiwei was scolded and things went wrong, she simply had to cry about it online and the public would be immediately stirred up.
When Ma Weiwei woke up and saw Han Xiuche arguing with Tiffany's fans, she immediately stopped him, "Are you crazy?"
"Aren't I getting justice for you?" Han Xiuche laughed. "When you're suffering, Tiffany should suffer as well."
"But, when she suffers, it's of no benefit to me..."
"Who says it's of no benefit? Some things become real if you keep saying it...Right now, you are just a replica, so it's impossible for you to alter Tiffany's public image. But, if we look at it from another angle, you are also seen as someone that can't possibly bully Tiffany. Which, in turn, means that Tiffany can easily bully you. So, your situation will only improve if you keep playing the victim."
After hearing Han Xiuche's explanation, Ma Weiwei couldn't help but laugh, "You've already gone this far, yet Tiffany is still indifferent. She sure has good tolerance!"
Why hadn't Tiffany given any response yet? If Ma Weiwei wasn't lying to herself, she would have definitely understood the reason.
The truth was, Tiffany had no reason to respond to a cheap replica like her, but she simply couldn't admit to it.
Meanwhile, Han Xiuche claimed that he completely saw through Tiffany, "Not only does she have amazing tolerance, she also has amazing schemes. You just wait and see, she still has plenty of tricks up her sleeves...You should pay close attention to yourself. I can't help you every single time."
Ma Weiwei sneered. After hiding for an entire night, it was time to go back and face reality. Besides, just like Han Xiuche said, he had already helped her get some justice. At least, insulting Tiffany a little made her feel better.
This was how the world was like. A lot of people felt their misfortunes were the result of pain they felt from seeing someone else happy.
So, seeing someone else in misfortune helped them balance their emotions...
Meanwhile, Han Xiuche continued to argue with Tiffany's fans,
Han Xiuche :
"You do know that the person you've been protecting is an actress, right?"
"She hasn't achieved anything, yet you guys call her an international superstar. You are the only ones that are so arrogant."
Faced with this situation, Sunny watched as Han Xiuche argued with the fans and handed her phone to Tiffany, "I wonder how far Han Xiuche is planning to go."
"You shouldn't be bothered by it..."
"I know it shouldn't bother me, but this jerk and Ma Weiwei are disgusting like a couple of cockroaches."
Yet, she had once trusted in Han Xiuche. This pained her even more, especially since Superstar Media were in their hands...
Han Xiuche :
"Isn't Tiffany trying to film a sci-fi film? You just wait and see, the trash she's creating will either be a suck up to the Americans or turn out to be a children's film!"
"WTF!" When Sunny saw this, she immediately boiled up in anger. "His words are so harsh. Isn't he afraid of scarring his tongue?!"
"This morning, I received news that 'The Ant Queen's' trailer has been completed..." Tiffany did not respond to Sunny's words. Instead, she focused on something much more important.
"I know what you're trying to say. After preparing for so long, it's finally time to release your trailer and give the jerk a faceslap."
The efforts and suffering that Tiffany went through for the sake of 'The Ant Queen' was something that Sunny couldn't understand.
Especially since, shouldering the dreams of Qiao Sen and Xia Hanmo was already a huge responsibility. But, even if Han Xiuche and Ma Weiwei were like a couple of wolves, they still couldn't stand in Tiffany's way.
This time, she wasn't a model nor an actress, and she definitely wasn't an international superstar. This time, she was a writer and producer.
Afterwards, Tiffany showed the first completed version of her film to Taeyeon, "You are the first to see it. Even I haven't seen it yet."
Taeyeon looked at Tiffany in seriousness. He understood the anticipation she had and the amount of complex feelings she felt. She needed the most honest review, but she also needed genuine encouragement.
This was the initial cut, so there was bound to be more editing and post production to be done. In fact, there was even a possibility that they would have to refilm some parts. Either way, Tiffany wanted a response from Taeyeon right away; was the film OK or not?
"Leave it here with me," Taeyeon said gently to Tiffany, in an attempt to reduce her nervousness. "Take a deep breath, stop giving yourself too much pressure."
Tiffany held onto Taeyeon's hand and nodded her head, "I trust in you. If worse comes to worst, I can start afresh, it doesn't matter."
"You won't have to! Trust me, OK?"
Tiffany didn't know when Taeyeon planned to watch the film, but she really wanted to see his response.
However, even up until bedtime, Taeyeon still did not say a thing. Was he locked up in the study room for so long because he was actually working? Or, could it be possible that after he finished watching the film, he felt it was so bad that he didn't know how to tell her?
Tiffany wanted to ask Taeyeon about it, but Seulgi happened to have a slight fever, so after coaxing her daughter to sleep, she also fell asleep as well. At this time, Taeyeon tucked his wife and daughter into bed and finally headed into the study room to watch Tiffany's film.
Since he was the protagonist of the film, it was strange to watch it. But, he had to put aside his thoughts and place himself into the perspective of the audience to give an objective review.
The entire plot of 'The Ant Queen' had gone through a revision.
It went from a love story to a story about the love between a father and daughter.
The first scene was of Coco Li being kidnapped and the kidnappers trying to escape with her...
However, while they were driving away, they accidentally ran into a pedestrian. The pedestrian was extremely strange. He had a body that was transparent like a cicada pupa.
The kidnappers cursed but ignored what they had hit and continued on their way.
However, they had no idea that after they left, the thing they hit, shed off a layer of human skin. It was the outer shell of a body that an ant-like creature had eaten. By now, only the head remained...That was all.
After seeing this, Taeyeon paused for a second.
Just this first scene was shocking enough to give him goosebumps.
Tiffany's post production team actually produced such impressive special effects. They made the ant's body so transparent that the sight of it made people sick!
In general, American sci-fi films liked to set their location in the future or on another planet, but, Tiffany went ahead and set her film in the real and current world. It was reminiscent of the nightmare-enducing killer python films from the past...
The film was so realistic that it felt like a creature like this could actually be hiding under one's bed at any time.
It had the ability to make people break out in a cold sweat!
Afterwards, the kidnappers set foot on an abandoned island. This mysterious island was inspired by a real-life tribe and the atmosphere created on the breathtaking island was no different to something produced by Hollywood.
Soon, two hours passed.
After watching the entire film in one go, Taeyeon directly shut off his laptop.
He needed some time to regain his composure...
Although it wasn't hard to differentiate between the filming styles of Qiao Sen and Suho, Taeyeon did not think it mattered.
Eventually, Taeyeon appeared to have calmed down, but, he still couldn't hide his trembling hands.
From his point of view, he had never expected Tiffany to produce something like this...how could a person not be excited by it?
A moment later, Taeyeon returned to the bedroom. When he saw Tiffany asleep on the bed, he felt that everything she endured for such a long period of time had been all worth it; that she had made up for her year of suffering.
"So, how was it?" Tiffany asked anxiously.
"It was beyond my expectations..." Taeyeon said before he turned around. Afterwards, he did not say another word. However, these five simple words were enough.
Because, it was the best form of acknowledgment for Tiffany.
After Tiffany heard this, she laughed. According to Taeyeon's personality, he had high expectations for everything, so he would never praise someone straightforwardly. Hence, 'beyond his expectations', was already the best appraisal; it meant he acknowledged her!
What did it mean to be acknowledged by Taeyeon?
He was a top businessman, so he had a good level of judgment, a familiarity with film and an impressive level of assessment.
So, how could Tiffany not be happy?
With this thought, Tiffany jumped out of bed, leaped barefoot onto Taeyeon's back and hugged him tightly, "Are you serious?"
Taeyeon lowered his head and looked at her bare feet. Afraid that she would be cold, he turned around and carried her in his arms, "Even though you're at home, you must remember to wear shoes."
"Were you serious about what you said?"
"You'll know when you watch it," Taeyeon replied. "After the first round of trailers are released, you can do some test screenings. Work hard on the trailer, remain focused!"
"OK!" Tiffany nodded furiously.
No matter how she appeared to the outside world, in front of Taeyeon, she would always be a woman that needed his love and protection.
Taeyeon was pleased with Tiffany's reaction, so he placed her on the sofa and returned to the bedroom to fetch her a pair of shoes. He then placed them in front of her.
With Taeyeon's encouragement, Tiffany finally put away her worries.
But, before Taeyeon left the house, Tiffany quickly stopped him and asked, "I forgot to ask you before, does Crown Empire have the right to take back Superstar Media?"
"The contract between Superstar Media and Crown Empire clearly states that every year after establishment, the agency must sign a qualifying artist with Crown Empire to continue operation. Wendy and Luo Sheng were your achievements. After that, Crown Empire will hold an evaluation every 6 months. If the agency struggles to continue normal operation and can't produce any good artists, Crown Empire has the right to step in."
"Regardless of who's holding the shares?"
"No matter who's holding the shares, Crown Empire has the right to make the final decision," Taeyeon replied. "This was the reason why the board of directors allowed you to start your own business at the start."
"In other words..."
"In other words, whenever you want to take back Superstar Media, it's as easy as holding a board of directors meeting. But, if we take it back, then the agency will no longer exist. You need to think it over carefully," Taeyeon replied in seriousness.
In reality, if Tiffany hadn't said anything, Taeyeon would have never gotten involved with Superstar Media's matter. As a result, the agency would have continued to exist as long as Crown Empire's shareholders didn't notice anything.
"In that case, let me think about it carefully.' Tiffany replied.
Taeyeon smiled and gently patted Tiffany on the head.
Although the couple were both in their thirties, their affectionate actions made them appear like they were still dating.
"You decide for yourself!"
Back when Ma Weiwei and Han Xiuche tried so hard to snatch away Superstar Media, they had absolutely no idea that the agency was established under such terms with Crown Empire.
When Tiffany first created Superstar Media, her intention was never to become independent from Crown Empire, she simply formed it to scout for talented artists. So, the purpose of her every move was to help artists progress to a point where she could eventually hand them over to Crown Empire.
Hence, she never expected that something she agreed on when she first established the agency, would end up being used as a faceslapping weapon.
However, she didn't know if Sunny and Seohyun would be able to accept the destruction of Superstar Media.
Superstar Media had its glory days. Even though it didn't last for long, it still created names like Wendy and Luo Sheng. As for Luo Yinghong, she had always been a hardworking person. And, this was even more apparent when Superstar Media started to become unstable. But, she never relied on the agency. Instead, she negotiated jobs on her own.
As long as Tiffany made proper arrangements, there was no reason why Luo Yinghong would be upset by the loss of Superstar Media.
...
The next morning, Sunny arrived at Hyatt Regency. Tiffany explained the relationship between Crown Empire and Superstar Media to her and asked for her opinion, "If you agree, Crown Empire will compensate you for the shares you once had. They will also compensate Seohyun."
"But, I already gave my shares to Han Xiuche..." Sunny said sadly to Tiffany. "Just compensate Seohyun. I have no right to accept anything."
"So, this means you agree...?"
"I think being your assistant is more suited to me. As for Seohyun, you're well aware of her situation: she's about to become a mother and the Li Family are good at avoiding troubles, so, I think Seohyun can always change careers to something else."
"So, I agree with your suggestion..." Sunny replied. "At least it's better than being tormented by the two jerks."
Tiffany looked at Sunny. Although she tried her best to hold back her emotions, Tiffany could see the tears in her eyes.
"That's true. If you're going to be anything, why not be my assistant. It's a much more fulfilling role for you. Let me show you something."
After saying these words, Tiffany turned on 'The Ant Queen' for Sunny to watch.
This time, Sunny represented a different type of audience.
If Taeyeon represented the words of a professional, then Sunny was a better reflection of the audience's reaction.
And Sunny's attention was immediately drawn in to the screen.
Just the first scene, made her eyes open wide, "Is...is this the film you did with Qiao Sen? Didn't you say that you only had the trailer? Is the film completed?"
"You'll know after you see it. This is the first cut."
Sunny immediately jumped in joy. After waiting for so long and enduring so many difficulties, they could finally see the completed thing. How could she not be excited?
She felt the same as Tiffany!
Tiffany looked at Sunny and was tempted to comfort her because she understood that Sunny had sacrificed a lot for Superstar Media; she sacrificed too much. So, even if Crown Empire was to take back Superstar Media, she was going to attend the board of directors meeting and help Sunny fight for some compensation. However, she didn't really have any rights for negotiation, so she didn't want to give Sunny any false promises.
Sunny had a very general taste towards films.
She didn't care about the plot or the genre, she simply watched films with a good review. There weren't any genres that she disliked.
So, allowing Sunny to watch 'The Ant Queen', was like receiving another honest review.
Throughout the entire film, Sunny was in a constant state of suspense. At times, she even broke out in a cold sweat and grabbed onto Tiffany during climactic scenes, "That scared the hell out of me..."
Only when the film reached its last scene did Sunny finally turn towards Tiffany and raised her thumb without a word...
Afterwards, she patted herself on the chest, signalling that her heart almost couldn't take the thrill.
"That was awesome..."
"Let me calm down a little!" Sunny leaned against the sofa for a while, unable to respond with words, as she stared at the screen. "Tiffany, I've watched many films, but this has been the most thrilling one I've ever seen! The setting, the effects, President Kim's acting and the little girl, everything was amazing!"
"Don't exaggerate too much," Tiffany poured Sunny a glass of water.
"I'm being honest!" Sunny sipped some water while she tapped herself on the chest as a guarantee, "Everything was truly amazing. I'm being honest!"
"Is it really up to standard?"
"It's way above standard, OK? If you do a bit of extra editing, it will be even better," Sunny was enthusiastic like she was on steroids as she gave 'The Ant Queen' a relatively good appraisal. "I never expected that you and Qiao Sen would be able to create something like this. It's something I never imagined."
"The only issue is, Qiao Sen and Suho's styles are very different. But, that's just a small flaw, it doesn't matter."
"It's because of both their efforts that we have the completed version of 'The Ant Queen'!" Tiffany understood this, that's why she couldn't accept any flaws except for this one.
"Has Suho seen the film yet?"
Tiffany shook her head, "You're the second person to see the completed film...Even I haven't seen it yet."
"How could you resist not watching something so amazing?" After watching 'The Ant Queen', Sunny was so excited that she couldn't control herself. She never imagined that Tiffany actually managed to create a sci-fi film and even made it so good in such a short period of time.
"Stop praising me. Taeyeon told me to work hard on promoting the film, so I'm going to be very busy from now on," Tiffany closed her laptop. The only thing she had to do now was to perfect her film.
"Don't worry, a good film like this will definitely be acknowledged by film fans. Trust me," Sunny patted Tiffany on the shoulder...
"Thank you for your hard work..."
Sunny wanted to nod her head, but her stomach suddenly started turning, so she rushed into the bathroom. Tiffany immediately followed behind, "Are you pregnant?"
"No, I went with Sooyoung for a stomach exam recently, but I haven't received the results yet."
"You're obviously pregnant. How is this related to your stomach?" Tiffany glared at Sunny before she shook her head, "It seems, I need to find myself a temporary assistant."
Sunny was a little surprised as she tried to remember her last period.
"No, this won't do, I need to go buy a pregnancy test!"
"You might as well head straight to the hospital with Sooyoung!" Tiffany gave Sunny back her phone.
After receiving her phone, Sunny said to Tiffany in seriousness, "Even if I'm pregnant, I can still help you for a while. You don't need to find a temporary assistant yet."
"OK," Tiffany replied with a smile.
Sunny rushed out of Hyatt Regency. Afterwards, Tiffany gave An Zihao a phone call, "The film's completed..."
"Send it to me so I can watch it," Suho replied before he hung up the phone.
He was curious what Tiffany had done with the post production in such a short period of time. If the effects were cheap and nasty, then there was no way of creating a new image for Seoul sci-fi films.
It didn't take long before Tiffany carefully sent the first version of the completed film to Suho; she understood that her main priority now, was to adjust and perfect the film.
...
Sunny's stomach had been uncomfortable for a while, but she had never considered the possibility of pregnancy. This was consistent with her careless attitude. After all, a lot had happened with Superstar Media, so it was normal for her to be this way.
After arriving at the hospital on her own, she initially wanted to give Sooyoung a phone call, but Sooyoung did not pick up. Sunny thought he was busy, so she did an ultrasound on her own. In the end, she realized she was already over 2 months pregnant.
Sunny was dumbfounded.
Previously, when Mother Choi told her to have another baby, she couldn't do it. Yet now, the baby had arrived unexpectedly.
As she held onto her examination report, Sunny's emotions were complex. She originally wanted to go home and think about the situation on her own. But, as soon as she returned home, she discovered her front door was unlocked. And, when she pushed it open, Sooyoung and Mother Choi were sitting on the sofa surrounded by an obviously unhappy atmosphere.
Because of this, Sunny quickly hid her examination report.
"How come you're back?" Sooyoung asked when he saw Sunny. "Doesn't the Madam need you?"
"What's happening here?" Sunny questioned as she pointed to Mother Choi with her chin. "You didn't tell me you were seeing someone today."
"I happened to run into her when I came home to fetch some documents," Sooyoung explained. "Don't think anything of it. I didn't invite her."
"Hmmph," Mother Choi humphed after hearing this. "I've never heard of a mother having to ask permission from her daughter-in-law to see her own son. Sooyoung, your father and I didn't teach you to be like this. For the sake of this woman, you actually abandoned your own parents. That's such a ruthless thing to do."
"Why are you here?" Sooyoung turned and asked Mother Choi. "Sunny and I are both busy. We have no time to entertain you."
"You may not want your father and I, but what about your son?" Mother Choi pulled out a photo of a baby and placed it on the glass table in front of them. "You agreed to having this child from the start. Now that he's born and requires fatherly love, you should free some time to see him."
"We agreed that after this child was born, you wouldn't interfere with my life again. So, I should be asking you what you're doing?" Sooyoung asked. "Besides, I don't have a son, I only have a daughter."
"I really don't understand what you're thinking. You have a great son that you don't want. Instead, you insist on keeping these two cursed wenches by your side," Mother Choi took back the photo as she yelled at her son.
"This child is almost 100 days old. When the time comes, I hope you can attend the celebration so your son can receive acknowledgment from the family!"
Sooyoung did not respond as he pointed to the front door, gesturing that Mother Choi leave; no one in the home welcomed her.
"Don't come looking for me again. You should stick to the promise you first made. Otherwise, I don't know what I'd do," Sooyoung warned just before Mother Choi left. However, Mother Choi did not take him seriously.
"After you see your son, you will know how adorable he is."
This time, Sooyoung did not hold back as he yelled at Mother Choi, "Get out!"
He was a husband, so he simply wanted to protect his wife. As for the 100 days celebration?
He was going to attend it, but it wasn't because he wanted to see his son...
He was going there to give a face slap!
As his mother, Mother Choi had already done too much.
"What's so bad about me? And what's so bad about my daughter? In the end, she is also a woman. Hasn't she gone too far? Didn't we agree that she wouldn't interfere with our lives again? Yet..."
Sooyoung placed his arm on Sunny's shoulder and smiled, "Didn't we also break our promise?"
"But..."
"This matter will eventually be resolved, don't worry," Sooyoung patted Sunny on the head and pulled her into his embrace. "I will never be biased towards my parents. Trust me."
"Dress up well for the 100 days celebration. I'm taking you with me!"
As she thought about the child, Sunny pulled out her examination report from her bag, "Actually...you're about to become a father again."
Sooyoung was a little shocked. As he looked at Sunny's face, he began to feel excited, "What are you trying to say?"
"I'm saying, I'm pregnant again."
After hearing this, Sooyoung carried Sunny in his arms emotionally like it was the first time.
"Hurry and let me down!"
Sooyoung did not do as requested as he carried Sunny into the bedroom and placed her on the bed, "If this is the case, then the upcoming show is going to be even more spectacular."
A mother that wanted to control her son, happened to have a rebellious son. Who was going to win in the end?
...
Han Xiuche went up against Tiffany's fans for a good few days, but he soon realized that Tiffany would never personally respond to him. She wasn't afraid of being slandered and criticized, nor was she afraid that Ma Weiwei would use Superstar Media to blackmail her.
As a result, Han Xiuche felt like his attacks were useless and couldn't accept it.
Han Xiuche's brother lifted his head while he was busy at work and glanced at him. He then laughed, "Let's put other things aside for now and focus on the fact that Tiffany's been married for a good few years. Even if she has a lot to be liked, she can never be with you."
"Why must you be so persistent?"
"Bro...you have no idea. If everyone thinks that this woman is kind and just, but you're the only one that knows she's actually horrible, you would want to tear off her mask and expose her to the world as well."
"Isn't she tired of being so fake?"
"But, running around like a headless cockroach isn't the best form of attack!" Han Xiuche's brother laughed. "Right now, there's nothing you can do about her. Plus, what about your future? Don't you want a future anymore?"
"Bro, you know me best. If I don't tear up this woman's mask, I will never be satisfied."
After hearing this, Han Xiuche's brother nodded his head, "OK, then. To help you become more normal, I can only accept you the way you are."
"If you want to know about Tiffany's latest news, you can try to sneak into her fan club. Fan clubs are generally the first to hear about any news."
After hearing his brother's reminder, Han Xiuche immediately sat up because he had a new option to think about.
He was born with a brother to protect him, so he was able to do whatever he wanted. But, Ma Weiwei wasn't so lucky.
Ma Weiwei's repeated humiliation restricted her to the level of a second and third rate artist. With Tiffany above her, it was impossible for Ma Weiwei to ever reach the top. After all, any advertiser with brains knew the difference between her and Tiffany.
So, even if they couldn't get Tiffany, they would simply pick someone else. It wasn't necessary to pick a cheap replica.
Ma Weiwei's situation was stagnant and awkward.
During this time, her management agency tried their best to think of a solution. But, they had no luck.
This was the consequence of leeching off Tiffany's popularity. Every gain came with a loss and one was bound to fall sooner or later when riding someone else's coattails. Ma Weiwei deserved the treatment she received.
Because of Ma Weiwei's recent performance, her agency developed a dislike for her. After all, they had always known that Ma Weiwei wouldn't last long. They just didn't expect it to be this short.
Tiffany didn't need to sacrifice a single pawn for this replica to be destroyed. After all, she didn't need to pay attention to something that only existed briefly, no matter how hard Ma Weiwei tried to scheme against her.
"Ma Weiwei's situation has reached its limits. She's already lost her chance to ever get to the top. So, to make up for our losses, you need to introduce Weiwei to a few more big bosses in the industry. You know what I mean?"
After hearing from her boss, Ma Weiwei's manager nodded her head, "Yes, I understand."
"Good."
As mentioned earlier, Ma Weiwei's manager simply looked dopey, but she was actually a very calculative person.
The other reason why she was so happy to give up on Ma Weiwei, was because she knew that Tiffany was in possession of evidence that proved Han Xiuche and Ma Weiwei had met in the past. Since she wasn't sure when this ticking time bomb would go off, she had to get away as soon as possible.
Ma Weiwei had no idea that her management agency had already given up on her; she still thought she could live her life in peace with them. Therefore, whenever her manager looked at her, the manager's gaze somehow contained a sense of pity.
In fact, she even considered helping Ma Weiwei find a way out.
"Since there's no point keeping Superstar Media, why don't you sell it while it's still famous?"
After hearing her manager's suggestion, Ma Weiwei fell into deep thought, "But, I don't have all the shares."
"You simply need to sell the ones in your hands!"
"You should do it while people are still talking about it. Who knows? It might boost its fame even more!"
Ma Weiwei weighed the pros and cons of her manager's suggestion and felt it was a decent idea, "It's not a bad idea to receive some money. After all, Superstar Media can't achieve much in my hands. You can handle this matter on my behalf. Spread the news and see who's interested."
"OK," the manager nodded her head.
But, what selling point did Superstar Media have? Wendy and Luo Sheng were both at Crown Empire, so the manager realized, the only thing they had left was Luo Yinghong.
If this was a typical bankrupt business, others may have disregarded it. But, this was something created by Tiffany, so it still held its value, no matter what.
However, as soon as the manager leaked their intention to sell, Ma Weiwei received a phone call from Han Xiuche, "Has the thought of money made you crazy?"
"If I keep it, what else can I do with it? I don't know how to run it! Plus, Han Xiuche, you've already given it to me, so you have no right to question what I do with it!"
"Is there something wrong with your brain? If you sell Superstar Media, you will lose all your chances of clinging onto Tiffany!"
"I can't even survive anymore, why would I still care about clinging onto Tiffany?" After saying this, Ma Weiwei slammed down the phone angrily. "I'm selling it!"
Of course, this decision would end up creating a joke capable of destroying her!
