Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios action

“Yesterday, MD Magazine released news that they were going to interview your husband at 2 pm this afternoon. To attract more eyeballs, they’re even preparing to stream this live online. Have you heard about this from your husband?”

The food hadn’t been served yet, so Fang Yan and Lin Nuan were just casually chatting.

Lin Nuan answered honestly, saying that she didn’t hear about this from Fu Huai’an, though she did see this piece of news on Weibo.

Fang Yan nodded, then brought the topic back to the program “A Sunday Date.”

“I’ve heard from Miss Xia that she had originally planned on making Bai Xiaonian the new host if you really got removed, but the station seems to have plans to insert a?paratrooper?¹?into the program to replace you. Who do you think this paratrooper is?”

Paratrooper? Lin Nuan wasn’t dumb; she could tell by this that it was someone she knew. However, she couldn’t figure out who it was, so she shook her head.

Fang Yan finished drinking the tea in her teacup, set it down, then raised the teapot to fill her cup to the brim again. “The morning news anchor before you, Weng Lin.”

Lin Nuan was a little surprised, pausing momentarily. “Sis Lin was a show host of the Haicheng TV Station to begin with, so she can’t be considered a paratrooper?”

Fang Yan laughed and shook her head. “Weng Lin’s contract with Haicheng TV Station ended three years ago, and subsequently, she stopped signing long-term contracts. How else do you think it was possible for Weng Lin to simply stop hosting ‘Morning News Daily’ at a whim when she got pregnant?”

Lin Nuan didn’t utter a sound; regarding the inside story behind how Weng Lin stepped down from the ‘Morning News Daily’ program, she naturally wasn’t clear. Lin Nuan had never been a nosy person.

From the vacant look on Lin Nuan’s face, Fang Yan knew Lin Nuan probably wasn’t concerned about such gossip normally. She set down the teapot and filled Lin Nuan in on the details. “Weng Lin’s manager is an ambitious person who has his ways. After Weng Lin became more and more famous, he wanted to help Weng Lin find a better employer than Haicheng TV Station while staying put there for the time being. Haicheng TV Station had no choice but to accommodate Weng Lin for the sake of ratings, so Weng Lin managed to get away without signing a long-term contract with them.”

Lin Nuan nodded. So this was why…

“But wasn’t Sis Lin pregnant? Looking at the dates, she hasn’t given birth yet, has she?”

Lin Nuan remembered Miss Xia told her previously that the 38-year-old Weng Lin finally managed to conceive after much difficulty, so she had gone home to await delivery.

Fang Yan had the teacup in her hand. Her body turned sideways to the right, and her elbow was leaning against the armrest of the chair. “Weng Lin had an abortion!”

Had an abortion?

Lin Nuan stared at Fang Yan in astonishment, forgetting to swallow the tea in her mouth.

Fang Yan nodded, her expression deep and unfathomable, her eyes revealing a hint of sympathy. “Weng Lin’s husband slept with his friend’s wife behind her back. Her husband’s friend went to the hospital and exposed this matter to Weng Lin, who was awaiting delivery. After confirming it to be true with the help of a private investigator, Weng Lin quietly transferred away all her assets, then laid out the adultery evidence in front of her husband and demanded a divorce. Her husband begged her not to go ahead with the divorce under the pretext that they already had a child on the way. The next day, Weng Lin had an abortion and slammed the evidence in her husband’s face, determined to get a divorce.”

There was a hint of emotion in the depths of Lin Nuan’s eyes; she was both in awe and sympathetic of Weng Lin, all sorts of emotions welling up in her heart.

“All these years that Weng Lin had been married to her husband, most of her income went towards subsidizing his company that was constantly in deficit… sacrificing wholeheartedly for her husband. Perhaps she really got hurt this time. The moment she turned around, she fell into the arms of a millionaire who had been wooing her all along. After that, “A Sunday Date” received a considerable sponsorship, so Weng Lin naturally became the new talk show host of “A Sunday Date.” I’ve heard this more or less has something to do with why you were removed from the program.”

Regarding this matter, Miss Xia was very displeased.

All these years Miss Xia and Weng Lin had a happy working relationship, so they were considered on friendly terms. “A Sunday Date” indeed skyrocketed Lin Nuan’s popularity. If Weng Lin truly needed this program to bring her career to a new height, she totally could have discussed it with Miss Xia and not slapped Miss Xia in the face by making use of the sponsor.

After the waiter served the dishes, Fang Yan changed the topic to the AG Company. Fang Yan was surprised by how knowledgeable Lin Nuan was of AG’s history, motto, and culture in front of the high-level management just now.

The shooting was scheduled for Friday. Fang Yan suggested that Lin Nuan could flip through AG phone’s past commercials to find the common point between them.

When they were nearing the end of the meal, Lin Nuan went to pay the bill under the pretense of going to the washroom, then discreetly apologized to Fang Yan regarding Fu Tianci’s incident.

Fang Yan waved a hand and laughed. “I feel that Lu… Fu Tianci, is it? Fu Tianci, that kid is rather interesting!”

Lin Nuan laughed along with Fang Yan.

The phone by Fang Yan’s right hand started to vibrate. She picked it up and saw that it was Director Chen from “The Exorcist.” Fang Yan glanced at Lin Nuan then answered the call. “Hello, Director Chen!”

It wasn’t known what Director Chen had said on the other end of the line, but Fang Yan was all smiles. “Of course, that’d be great! Thanks for giving Lin Nuan this opportunity, Director Chen. I hope you’ll allow me the pleasure of treating you to a meal another day… although we’re friends, I ought to treat you to this meal! I know you like your alcohol… that mellow wine in my house that you’ve been drooling over for the past three years, I’ll send it over to you another day!”

Lin Nuan didn’t know what Director Chen had said to Fang Yan to warrant the treating of a meal and the sending of wine, but she could vaguely guess it was something good.

After hanging up the call, Fang Yan said to Lin Nuan, “Director Chen said at 7 pm today, he will release the first trailer on Weibo, and he asked you to retweet it. Also, the two programs, ‘A Date with Movies’ and the hottest variety show in the country right now, ‘Discover the Impossible’, have invited the cast of ‘The Exorcist’ to make an appearance. Director Chen wanted to ask you to go on the show as well, to help publicize the movie, and also to increase your exposure to the public eye. Director Chen asked if you’re free for that, and I have accepted it on your behalf. After all, you’ve just been removed from ‘A Sunday Date,’ I guess… Haicheng TV Station will likely shelf you away after this!”

Fang Yan didn’t make things explicit, but she vaguely heard that Chu Xun had special feelings for the President of the Kaide Corporation!

This time, after the President of the Kaide Corporation aggressively admitted that he was Lin Nuan’s husband, Lin Nuan was promptly removed from “A Sunday Date.” Fang Yan refused to believe that there was nothing fishy going on.

Lin Nuan knew of “A Date with Movies,” but as for “Discover the Impossible,” it was a program that she had heard of but never watched before.

Lin Nuan looked as if she was about to speak, but Fang Yan interrupted and said, “I know your aspirations, and I also know the kind of person you wish to be, so don’t worry… regarding your future, I already have plans!”

After a momentary silence, Lin Nuan nodded, choosing to believe in Fang Yan. “Ok…”

As her vision swept across the clock on the wall, Fang Yan suddenly recalled that when she was surfing Weibo this morning, she had seen MD Magazine’s Official Weibo Account announce that they would be showing a live stream of the interview with the President of the Kaide Corporation, Fu Huai’an; they also revealed the channel on which they could view the live stream.
