Shen Yan spent a day in the hospital after finishing the recording of ‘All Walks of Life’. Then he flew abroad for his next job. Shen Yan had just learned about the situation on the Internet and was going to post a Weibo to help Xie Yang when Xie Yang called.

Xie Yang knew Shen Yan’s intentions and wasn’t polite. “Thank you Brother Shen.” 

“I am clearly the one who should thank you. I’m sorry that I delayed you when recording the program.”

Xie Yang said that it was fine and also cared about Shen Yan’s physical condition. The two men exchanged greetings before Shen Yan took the initiative to ask, “What did you need from me?”

“Brother Shen, do you know how the crew received the ‘All Walks of Life’ show?”

“I know. It was from an investor. Why are you suddenly asking about this?” 

It was the same as what Qin Cheng discovered. Xie Yang thought about it before explaining he suspected that someone had bought Bei Cheng to deliberately pit him. Then he said, “Perhaps I am too suspicious but it is always right to be careful. I want to be certain if people are calculating against me.”

Shen Yan’s tone became cautious. “You mean, from your participation in the show, to the attack by the black fan and then the draw in the program… everything was caused by someone calculating against you?”

“It is just a doubt. Maybe things aren’t as complicated as I thought.”

“No… it’s not right.” Shen Yan seemed to think of something. “At that time, the investors immediately set the schedule for several starring roles. Then one of the supporting actors suddenly had no time. It was the investor who suggested for the program to invite you to fill in the vacancy. I didn’t think much about it before. Now that you say this… Xie Yang, who did you offend?”

Sure enough, there was a problem from the start.

Xie Yang replied, “I didn’t offend anyone. This is just the side effect of having a rich boyfriend. Brother Shen, can you tell me the name of that investor?”

“Xu Chen, a shareholder in Chenyao Media. His main business is advertising operations. He likes to invest in TV dramas and movies. He has a wide network of people in the circle but he is very low-ley.” Qin Cheng’s voice was heard from the phone as well as the sound of paper being turned. “Chenyao has many partners. Since you reminded me, I paid attention to it. Chenyao does have a deep cooperation with a subsidiary of the Fenghua Group.” 

Xie Yang thought about it and asked, “Did you contact Bei Cheng?”

“No, his mobile phone has been turned off. I asked ‘All Walks of Life’ and they can’t contact Bei Cheng either. A staff member familiar with him said that he often does this. If you can’t get in touch with him then it is because he is going to gamble secretly.”

“Then leave him alone for the time being. Help me find out why the supporting role suddenly had no time to appear on ‘All Walks of Life’.”


Qin Cheng replied positively and hung up. An hour later, Qin Cheng called back. “I found out. The actor suddenly received an audition invitation for a major movie. The audition schedule collided with the recording schedule of ‘All Walks of Life’. Finally, he chose to reject ‘All Walks of Life’.”
