“Since I’m back now, you all can’t just sit around,” Luo Ying playfully warned him.

“Hehe, as long as you’re back, we’ll be happy even if we’re driven like slaves. Recently, while you were away, other companies took the chance to promote new talents aggressively. A few of them nearly stole the spotlight from you,” Chi Tong said.

Luo Ying nodded in agreement and remarked, “That’s to be expected. After all, I’m not quite a full-fledged powerhouse yet. I still have some influence in terms of popularity. If I don’t keep up the momentum, it’s natural to be overlooked for a short period.”

“Sure thing, Sister Ying. Most of the other artists are fine, except for one named Li Yan who doesn’t seem to like you that much,” Chi Tong added. Li Yan… it was such a familiar name. Luo Ying ransacked her memory. Wasn’t she the one who managed to climb up from behind, relentlessly taunted the original Luo Ying on the show, and had questionable intentions toward Lu Zhao?

“In what way is she being unfriendly?” Luo Ying gulped down her milk and turned to Chi Tong.

“On your debut night, she directly compared herself to you, explicitly and subtly mentioned your plastic surgery, and claimed you were only making it by relying on your husband’s resources. She even said…” Chi Tong hesitated, looking at Luo Ying tentatively. The rest of the sentence was too unpleasant, and he wasn’t sure if Luo Ying truly wanted to hear it.

“Go ahead, there’s nothing to be afraid of. I’ve heard these words countless times,” Luo Ying said. Her expression was relaxed.

Chi Tong swallowed and continued, “She also commented that female celebrities should embody courtesy, integrity, restraint, and not be entangled with one man after another.’

Luo Ying smirked dismissively, “Well, she’s the one who seems keen on entangling herself. ”

“So, Sister Ying, we need to start taking action. Three people together create a formidable presence. Even though it’s just gossip, if it keeps getting magnified by her, it won’t bode well for you or the studio,” Chi Tong suggested, genuinely considering the studio’s well-being.

“Yes, I get it. Focus on forming the boy band. Don’t let their singing, dancing, or lyric practices lag. Releasing an album in the short term might be challenging, but we should at least have a really catchy single. The makeup and image should also be tailored thoughtfully to their individual traits— nothing too generic, but also not overly eccentric,” Luo Ying instructed him.

“Absolutely, Sister Ying. I’ll get that going today,” Chi Tong affirmed.

“Perfect. Concentrate on that for now. I have some other matters to attend to. Once I’m done, I’ll swing by the studio to check on things,” Luo Ying said, giving Chi Tong an encouraging gaze.

Chi Tong understood and left.

After her meal, Luo Ying freshened up and applied some light makeup. She put on a ruffled dress in Diana rose pink, matched it with lipstick in a corresponding shade, slipped on high heels, and left looking beautifully put together.

Having been ill for so long, she was thrilled to finally have the chance to properly groom herself.

Today marked Xie Yun’s release from the hospital. She also wanted to visit and have a chat with Su Li about the drama.

Despite the turbulent times, the drama had been in the making for so long. She couldn’t let all the prior efforts go to waste.

When they arrived at the hospital, Xie Yun’s assistant was already packing up his belongings.

Xie Yun had changed out of his hospital attire and into a light blue sweater paired with white shorts, giving off a youthful and sunny vibe.

Upon seeing Luo Yings graceful presence, his Adam’s apple subtly moved.

He missed her dearly. Even though he’d endured physical pain after shielding her from the sulfuric acid, he never once regretted his choice.

“You’re here,” Xie Yun’s voice quivered slightly.

Luo Ying smiled and nodded, settling herself by his bedside. “How’s your recovery going? You were unconscious when that happened, so I didn’t get a chance to thank you. If it weren’t for you, I might have been the one lying in the hospital.”

Her gratitude towards Xie Yun was heartfelt. If that bottle of sulfuric acid had indeed splashed on her face, her career might have been irreparably ruined.

“I’ll cover all your hospital expenses. And oh, you don’t need to apply medicine anymore. Don’t wear stiff fabrics for now—go for cotton materials instead. Also, be sure to keep things sanitary,” Luo Ying advised, reaching out to touch the polyester fabric of Xie Yun’s sweater.

In her heart, Xie Yun had always felt like a younger brother to her.

Her touch caused Xie Yun to blush. He hadn’t anticipated Luo Ying caring for him this deeply.

They exited the hospital together and made their way to the theater.

To their surprise, Su Li had prepared a modest meal for them.

As their car pulled up at the theater entrance, a string of firecrackers burst into celebratory noise.

An unknowing observer might have thought there was a wedding happening.

Following that, a man in a black suit and glasses stepped forward to open the car door.

“Greetings, esteemed Ms. Luo and Mr. Xie. Welcome. Please watch your heads as you exit,” the black-suited man said solemnly. Luo Ying couldn’t help but chuckle at the formality..
