Huayu: This celebrity doesn't follow the rules.

Chapter 81 Shuangzi Goes Crazy
A luxury house in Northeast China on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year

The TV was replaying sketches from the Spring Festival Gala, and laughter from the audience could be heard from time to time.

Meng Ziyi sat at the dining table, stuffing sweaters into her suitcase quickly and hurriedly, as if she couldn't wait to fly away the next second.

"Back to Yanjing so early?" Mother Meng came over with a plate of freshly cut fruit, her brows furrowed slightly. "School starts a little early, and the new play isn't going to start filming for another few months, is it?"

Meng Ziyi didn't even look up: "There's a lot going on at the company, I need to go back and prepare in advance."

"What's the rush?" Meng's mother put down the fruit plate and looked at her daughter's slightly red ear tips. "Your father said he would take you to visit your maternal grandfather on the tenth of the month."

"Oh, next time!" Meng Ziyi pulled her suitcase and finally looked up. "Anyway, I've already booked my plane ticket. I'm leaving first thing tomorrow morning."

Mencius' mother stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you thinking of someone?"

Meng Ziyi's hand trembled, and she almost dropped the neatly folded clothes on the ground: "Mom! What are you saying!"

"Okay, okay, I won't ask."

Mencius' mother waved her hand, but suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, I've been browsing Weibo lately, and it seems quite a few people are criticizing you?"

Meng Ziyi's expression froze for a moment, then she waved her hand and said, "It's okay. Aye told me that these things are unavoidable in the entertainment industry."

She spoke casually, even with a hint of pride, "He told me not to take it to heart, just focus on working on the script, and the company will handle it."

Meng's mother raised an eyebrow: "A-Ye? Is that Jiang Ye, the director who gave me a cameo role? Your new company's boss?"

"Yup!"

"This young man looks capable!"

"Mmm, that's really amazing!"

"He's good-looking too, even more handsome than your dad!"

"He's become so much more handsome, okay!"

"Looks so energetic!"

"Thief spirit!"

"how long have you been together?"

"Three months..."

? ? ? ? ?

Meng Ziyi suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes wide open!
It’s over, you spilled the beans!
Mencius' mother's lips slowly curled into a victorious smile: "Just as I thought."

"Mom! You tricked me!" Meng Ziyi stamped her feet anxiously, her face as red as an apple on the table.

“I didn’t ask anything, you said it yourself.” Mother Meng leisurely forked a piece of apple. “Three months. Isn’t that when they were filming ‘Princess’?”

Meng Ziyi stubbornly retorted, "So what! A-Ye is so good to me!"

She counted on her fingers.

"Last time we were filming, I casually mentioned that I liked the roasted chestnuts from that shop in the south of the city. The next day, he had the assistant director queue up and buy two pounds to send over, still hot!"

"That's the assistant director!!!"

"And another thing, back then, nobody was optimistic about filming Princess Diana, and he himself wasn't confident either. He wouldn't let me invest, afraid that I would lose money."

"They'd rather borrow from me than let me take the risk."

"He even gave me a lot of interest after I made money!"

"They never yelled at me when I made mistakes, and they even..."

"What else?" Mother Meng's eyes lit up.

"Also..." Meng Ziyi suddenly realized she had said too much again, and turned around angrily to pack her luggage, "Anyway, it's great!"

"The best in the world!"

Looking at her daughter's flushed ears, Meng's mother sighed softly and walked to her side: "Mom is not against you dating."

She helped her daughter fold the haphazardly stuffed sweater back into place, saying, "It's just that Jiang Ye is younger than you, and you're both in the complicated environment of the entertainment industry..."

"He's not that kind of playboy!"

Meng Ziyi immediately retorted, "There are so many beautiful actresses in the crew, but he didn't even glance at them. Bai Lu said his office is full of storyboards, and he doesn't even have a single photo album of female celebrities!"

Mencius' mother was amused: "You silly child..."

She suddenly became serious and said, "But you must remember three things."

"First, never give up your career for love."

"Secondly, no matter what happens, your family will always be your support."

"Third..." she lowered her voice mysteriously, "when are you going to bring him home for dinner?"
"Mom!" Meng Ziyi buried her face in her sweater, embarrassed. "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Why aren't you in a hurry? While Mom is still young, she can help you take care of your kids!"

Meng Ziyi: “…”

Backstage of Happy Camp on Hunan TV

The lights in the dressing room were blinding. Zheng Shuang sat in front of the mirror, letting the stylist adjust her wig.

Jing Boran and several other lead actors from "Love Through a Millennium" chatted idly nearby, their laughter occasionally drifting over.

At this moment, agent Yang Liu pushed open the door and came in, her face somewhat solemn.

She walked up to Zheng Shuang and lowered her voice: "Xiao Shuang, come out for a moment."

Zheng Shuang frowned, but still followed Yang Liu to the corner of the corridor. "What's wrong?" she asked, her tone somewhat impatient.

Yang Liu looked around to make sure no one was there before whispering, "Juku Media has spoken to the company and asked you to... pack up."

Zheng Shuang raised an eyebrow: "What are you going to collect?"

“You know what I’m talking about.” Yang Liu sighed. “Love O2O is Juku’s S+ project this year. By smearing Meng Ziyi like this, the first person you’ll offend is Fang Ying.”

Zheng Shuang sneered: "So what if I offend you? What am I afraid of?"

"Xiao Shuang!" Yang Liu frowned. "I understand you're upset that someone stole your role, but making a big fuss about this won't do you any good."

"How did they become so sure it was me? Do they have any evidence?" Zheng Shuang scoffed. "There are tons of people online criticizing her, why should I be blamed?"

Yang Liu rubbed her temples: "President Long personally told you to tone it down, or things will get out of hand."

Zheng Shuang waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, Sister Liu, I'm leaving the company in a few days. I'll be opening my own studio from now on. If you need anything, just come to me."

She paused, then added sarcastically, "Besides, if Juku thinks the female lead isn't suitable, they can just replace her, right?"

"If I can't act in it, and Meng Ziyi can't act in it either, isn't that great?"

Looking at her stubborn expression, Yang Liu felt a sense of helplessness.

That's just how this girl is—stubborn and impulsive. She gets carried away and goes crazy; you can't stop her no matter what you do.

"Think it through yourself," Yang Liu could only sigh in the end. "Don't bring your emotions into the recording later."

Zheng Shuang returned to the dressing room and slammed the door shut.

Her reddened eyes were reflected in the mirror, her fingers gripping her phone tightly, the screen still showing the Weibo page where haters were attacking Meng Ziyi.

"Why..." she bit her lip, her nails scratching fine marks on the phone case.

She was the one who approached the project first, and Gu Man was the one who favored her the most, so why did it end up being Meng Ziyi?
Just because she starred in a hit web series?
Agent Yang Liu, still worried, pushed the door open and came in. Seeing her like this, she sighed and said, "Xiao Shuang, let's leave it at that."

"Is this the end?" Zheng Shuang looked up abruptly, his voice low but trembling. "Why didn't they say 'this end' when they were taking my role?"

Yang Liu hesitated for a moment, then finally handed over the script: "We're about to record a show, so get yourself ready."

Zheng Shuang stared at the words "game interaction segment" on the script and suddenly laughed.

Recording site
"Next up is our rapid-fire Q&A session!" He Jiong smiled and held up his cue cards. "Xiao Shuang, listen carefully to the questions!"

Zheng Shuang nodded obediently, her pink dress making her look like a porcelain doll.

When asked about her biggest regret recently, she lowered her eyelashes and said, "Actually, I recently missed out on a role I really liked."

"I've read the original novel of 'Love O2O' so many times, I even leveled up my character to the maximum level in the game..."

Xie Na stared wide-eyed in surprise and blurted out, "Wow! So you were originally supposed to play Bei Weiwei?"

"I almost joined the cast," Zheng Shuang said with a regretful smile, then cheered up again, "But the current lead actors are also excellent!"

He Jiong, keenly sensing the dangerous nature of the topic, immediately interjected, "It seems our Xiao Shuang really likes this role! But..."

“Yes,” Zheng Shuang interrupted him, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the camera, “so I especially understand the expectations of the book fans, and I believe the production team will definitely present the best Bei Weiwei~”

In the control room, producer Luo Xin suddenly sat up straight: "This part..."

"Should I cut it?" the assistant asked in a low voice.

Luo Xin stared at Zheng Shuang's innocent expression on the monitor, feeling a bit of a headache.

This is the bombshell!
If we hype it up, this episode's ratings will explode!
But for now, this girl is one of their own at Mango!
"Have Vega go and talk to Long Danny!"

"Ok!"

Long Danni is known as the "Godmother of Talent Shows" in the entertainment industry. She was the one who organized "Super Girl" back then.

She is currently the general manager of EE-Media. She will leave EE-Media in 2017 to create Wajijiwa Entertainment, and work with Tencent to produce a series of talent shows such as "The Coming One" and "Produce 101".

The reason Li Weijia was asked to make the contact was because the two were dating, a relationship that had lasted for seven years...

Li Weijia's mother even shouted to Long Danny on the show "Mama Mia" that she should hurry up and give him a grandson...

But they broke up later...

Backstage
When Li Wei strode into the dressing room, Zheng Shuang was touching up her makeup.

“Xiao Shuang,” he lowered his voice, “President Long just called…”

"I know what you're going to say." Zheng Shuang touched up her lipstick in front of the mirror. "I'm just telling the truth."

Do you know what the consequences of this will be?

“Vega,” Zheng Shuang suddenly turned around, her meticulously made-up face showing a hint of grievance, “It’s a fact that I was replaced, right? Can’t I even say I’m sorry?”

Li Weijia was speechless.

Although these words did not name names or attack anyone, the associations they evoked were enough to cause a huge uproar.

"What Mr. Long means is..." He finally conveyed that sentence, "Let's part ways amicably."

Zheng Shuang smiled indifferently, and after Li Weijia left, he picked up his phone and posted a Weibo post.

Some regrets are for a better encounter.

The accompanying image is the cover of the novel "Love O2O".

The next morning, Zheng Shuang's name occupied the top spot on Weibo's trending topics list, followed by a glaring "explosive" label.

The trailer for Happy Camp was widely shared, and Zheng Shuang's line "I almost joined the crew" was cut into a short video, accompanied by provocative subtitles and background music, and spread virally on major social media platforms.
