Right!
Yang Mi, of course, knew the reason behind all of this—
It was the result of Zhao Nuo Yao's previous "arrangements"!
Jia Xing needed traffic and popularity…
They needed fan loyalty…
They needed market recognition…
They needed to reassure investors and sponsors!
They absolutely had to make their large number of actors…
Including those in their own invested dramas, become popular!
This inevitably meant!
Stealing the spotlight from other actors!
Previously, Zhao Nuo Yao had said they would abandon the "television drama competition" for now.
They would throw all their remaining marketing budget at this "Weibo Night"!
So the result was—
Besides a few truly substantial awards,
And some awards where big-name stars were sure to be present, which they couldn't afford to influence…
All other awards!
Had basically been "bought out" by Jia Xing!
And Yang Mi knew, of course…
With Su Chen's current popularity,
He couldn't reach those truly weighty awards either!
So…
This "buying out" by Jia Xing.
Would also inevitably steal the awards that Su Chen should have received!
"No, it's not me…"
"I didn't do this…"
At this moment, Yang Mi couldn't bear to look at Tang Yan's eyes!
She could only stare straight ahead.
Muttering in a voice barely audible to herself:
"Heh~ you didn't do it yourself…"
"But you know everything about this!"
"And…"
"You'd rather let those little fresh meat, those cats and dogs, win awards…"
"You never even intended to leave even one for Xiao Chen!"
"Isn't that right?"
Tang Yan still had a radiant smile.
She didn't show any sign of anger at all.
But Boss Yang felt like there were countless little knives hidden in the other's gaze!
They were brutally cutting through her flesh!
Suddenly!
"Heh~ forget it…"
Tang Yan's sharp aura completely vanished!
Then, she lowered her voice and leaned close to Yang Mi's ear…
Like a whisper between close girlfriends, she softly said:
"By the way, Mimi!"
"Do you remember the promise the three of us made back then?"
"I said…"
"If you ever leave Xiao Chen…"
"I'm going to make my move!"
"So now…"
"No!" Yang Mi suddenly jolted!
Her entire body seemed to react instinctively and she turned her head sharply!
She stared at Tang Yan with wide, fixed eyes!
But Tang Yan didn't flinch, she stared back at her!
The smile on her face was even brighter than before.
Suddenly, she looked confused and said:
"Huh? That's strange, though?"
"Didn't you leave him yourself?"
"And you've proven it again and again…"
"You don't care about Xiao Chen at all!"
"So, since you don't care…"
"Let me care about him, okay?"
"No, no…" Yang Mi's pretty face was now filled with helplessness.
She desperately wanted to get those two words, "No," out of her mouth!
But after stammering for a long time…
She simply couldn't get them out!
As the mockery on Tang Yan's face grew stronger…
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Yang Mi's forehead…
But suddenly!
"Whoosh!"
Boss Yang's eyes suddenly turned cold!
Then, as if she had completely changed, she leaned back in her chair!
She looked at the stage without blinking…
And coldly spat out two words:
"Boring!"
"Oh?" Tang Yan's eyebrows finally raised!
Then, she stared intently at Boss Yang…
But her voice finally began to take on a serious tone!
She said softly:
"Mimi… you…"
"Are you sure you've made your choice?"
Yang Mi was calm on the surface.
She just snorted, "Choose what?"
"Playing house like kids?"
"You guys can play if you want!"
"I don't have time to play with you!"
"Heh… of course… it's you…" Tang Yan suddenly chuckled softly.
The last glimmer of expectation in her eyes had finally disappeared!
It was obvious…
The change that happened to Boss Yang just now.
Only those who knew her best could understand what it meant—
She still cared about Su Chen!
So when Tang Yan bluntly said, "You don't care about Xiao Chen at all…"
Boss Yang instinctively wanted to resist!
She wanted to struggle…
She wanted to deny everything she had done!
But in the end!
When she realized there was nowhere to hide…
When she was completely pushed to the edge!
How could the proud and decisive Boss Yang tolerate such a humiliating situation?
So she had to make a choice!
Either, boldly and directly tell Tang Yan "No"!
Directly tell Tang Yan—
"Even though I might still have some mental baggage…"
"I will apologize to Xiao Chen in the end!"
"So, before I apologize!"
"I won't let you go after Xiao Chen!"
Or…
Just abandon any "fig leaf" she had left for her feelings for Su Chen!
Openly admit…
Yes!
Even though I still care about him…
But in my mind!
He's not as important as my company's future…
Not as important as my career development!
So!
Go after him if you want!
I won't give up my career development for him!
It was obvious!
At the last minute.
Boss Yang chose the latter!
This had nothing to do with feelings…
Nothing to do with morals!
This was her, Yang Da Mi, when pushed to the brink…
Her most instinctive reaction!
"So… are we still good sisters?"
Tang Yan suddenly threw out a strange question.
"According to your favorite saying…"
"Separate business from personal life!"
"Business is business, we compete with each other!"
"But we're still good friends in private?"
Tang Yan's beautiful eyes narrowed.
She instinctively wanted to say something else…
But at that moment!
Suddenly!
The host on stage announced loudly:
"Alright, everyone in the audience and watching at home!"
"Next…"
"We're about to announce one of the most important awards tonight…"
"And one that everyone is looking forward to—"
"Weibo's Annual Drama Series!"
"There are five television dramas that have won this 'Annual Drama Series' award!"
"And among them…"
"Based on the votes from netizens!"
"We've chosen the best of the best, the 'Annual Best Drama Series'!"
"So, who are these five dramas?"
As the host deliberately drew out his words!
The live camera quickly switched between several seats!
And in these rapidly changing images!
All the viewers saw Boss Yang!
They also saw Su Chen, Tang Yan, and Liu Yi Fei!
But what puzzled netizens was…
Except for Su Chen who was calm.
All the women had a confident, even…
Excited smile on their faces?
It was like…
They couldn't wait to see something?
