The film crew took a day off and then continued filming.

In this movie, the male lead’s scenes were cut in half, so the director could discard what Feng Yanqiu had previously shot. The new male lead wouldn’t affect the filming schedule.

Today, the storm around Feng Yanqiu grew even fiercer.

The internet was abuzz with criticism.

On set, people were discussing the matter as well.

When a wall falls, everyone gives it a shove. Feng Yanqiu’s other misdeeds were also unearthed.

"...Misleading fans to bully a female co-star, attacking her on Weibo wasn’t enough; he even made fans throw things at her on set." This Weibo post was also brought to light.

Moreover, pictures of Sheng Tang being hit with cookies that day were captured.

However, to her surprise, Gu Shiting, who was standing beside her, was blurred out.

"Is this news coming from his side again?" Sheng Tang thought.

That’s unlikely, right?

Gu Shiting isn’t that free.

Indeed, it wasn’t likely.

The blogger who posted the picture blurred out Gu Shiting because he stood out too much. With him and Sheng Tang together, they looked like a harmonious golden couple.

The blogger was afraid fans or onlookers would be distracted, gossiping about Sheng Tang’s relationship with the man instead of focusing on the main issue.

The main issue they wanted to expose was: Feng Yanqiu was bullying newcomers, from Weibo to the set.

"This is Sheng Tang, the female lead in ’The Road to the Top.’ She’s so beautiful and talented, it’s a pity she entered the industry late. Even such a capable actress has to put up with this kind of idol treatment on set."

"You should check Sheng Tang’s Weibo. She hasn’t deleted anything. Feng Yanqiu’s fans left those awful comments not long ago, and they’re truly unbearable."

So, screenshots of the comments on Sheng Tang’s Weibo were shared.

The comments from Feng Yanqiu’s fans were so vile that Sheng Tang stopped updating her Weibo. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Riding this wave of support, Sheng Tang unexpectedly garnered a lot of sympathy.

Many people who disliked Feng Yanqiu flocked to her Weibo to console her.

Her followers increased by over a hundred thousand.

More than her original follower count, Sheng Tang was both amused and annoyed.

Feng Yanqiu’s reputation was ruined.

He and Zhang Qing became symbols of the "cheating couple" of the new era, nailed to the pillar of shame.

Many of his commercial partners immediately issued public statements, announcing the termination of their collaborations and demanding compensation for damages.

The ’Who’s Afraid in the Workplace’ film crew, under Zheng Weiwei’s direction, also issued a statement, expelling Feng Yanqiu from the crew and demanding repayment of his advance fees, even reserving the right to pursue a breach of contract lawsuit.

As for Wen Yu, she was very conspiratorial, believing all this was orchestrated by Sheng Tang.

She speculated that Sheng Tang wielded some excessive power.

Thus, she quickly approached Sheng Tang to get close, attempting to build a good relationship, making her intentions very obvious.

Sheng Tang thought about their many future collaborations, accepted her overtures, and engaged in some superficial niceties. Their cooperation became much smoother than before.

The director pushed all of the male lead’s scenes to later, and filmed Sheng Tang and Wen Yu’s scenes for a week.

A week later, the storm surrounding Feng Yanqiu was slowly dying down. He was beyond redemption, and Zheng Weiwei brought back a new male lead.

Sheng Tang was beside Wen Yu at the time, and she noticed Wen Yu’s eyes light up.

It was as if an invisible Cupid struck Wen Yu’s heart, making her entire demeanor change.

Sheng Tang also took a glance at the new male lead.

The new male lead was indeed very handsome. Just like his character’s name, he was also called William. He was of mixed race, with naturally striking features and fair skin, breathtakingly handsome.
