After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 708 Don't laugh at me after hearing this.

Sheng Hanyu wasn't particularly concerned about how Ye Siqing would be disciplined after returning home. He called Xu Jingyan over and prepared to continue his current work.

"What would you like to ask this afternoon?" Sheng Hanyu asked, picking up her teacup.

It's not time to relax yet; there are so many people to contact and so many things to report... but that doesn't stop him from quietly sipping his tea.

"I thought about it later, and since I've already interfered, it seems pointless for me to ask or not," Xu Jingyan said.

"Hmm, does that mean I got too involved?" Sheng Hanyu asked.

"Frankly speaking, Lu Xuening's matter... in the context of the overall situation, I don't think it's important," Xu Jingyan said frankly. "I don't think the value she can provide is equivalent to the help we can give her."

"Actually, I think so too." Sheng Hanyu was also very frank. "Then you might ask, if that's the case, why do it? We could have just ignored her and left."

Xu Jingyan didn't say anything, but nodded slightly in agreement.

"There are several reasons. First, I hope that the power or the people within the Lu family will be more inclined to our side, even if they are seemingly worthless pawns. Second, this will lead to some unexpected developments. Contacting Ning Xiuyuan today is one such development."

“On the surface, we asked him for help, but in reality, he was just taking advantage of the situation and using our help to benefit others. So this time, we can’t really say we owe him anything, and he should know that too.”

As Sheng Hanyu spoke, she suddenly remembered, "Although we are both from the capital, I have only heard of the Peng family. Who is this Peng Yi?"

Sheng Hanyu is not involved in the entertainment industry, and having studied abroad for several years, she directly entered the entertainment industry after her rebirth...

Even though he was quite well-informed and very familiar with the two major gossip figures, he wasn't at the point where he knew everyone about every little thing.

In his memory, the Peng family seemed to be running a monopoly business, a family enterprise, but that was old news from four or five years ago...

“I just checked the information, and this person is currently quite popular in Beijing’s social circles…” Xu Jingyan hesitated.

Why are you hesitating?

"Well, there are some rumors that... he's about to get the title of the number one young master in Beijing's social circle," Xu Jingyan said, slightly embarrassed.

The reason for his embarrassment was obvious, given that the current most prominent young man in Beijing's elite circle was sitting right in front of him...

Sheng Hanyu: ...

"Who would want such a title... oh, no, wait."

Sheng Hanyu was about to complain, "Who would want something that nobody cares about?" Then he realized something.

"Even if I don't... let me state upfront that I rather dislike this title... even if I don't care, it's none of his business..."

Nangong Wang could easily take over directly, and Yun Shu is also active in the capital. Even if they aren't interested... does Sheng Hanyu have any interest?

The Peng family may be considered a small wealthy family, but here's the problem: it's only small.

"You mean, he's deliberately marketing this? Creating hype for himself?" Xu Jingyan immediately followed up with Sheng Hanyu's analysis. "But in that case, wouldn't it be a bit unrealistic to ask Lu Xuening to have a fake marriage?"

"No, that's precisely why Lu Xuening is the most suitable person for him," Sheng Hanyu said. "If he were to really find a young lady from a prestigious family, she might not cooperate with him, no matter what he's trying to achieve by creating hype. But Lu Xuening has one advantage over this kind of marketing person."

"Is it about escaping one's family of origin or about female empowerment?" Xu Jingyan asked.

"Yes, both are possible. Let's wait and see. I'm also quite curious to see how this casual move will develop in the end."

Sheng Hanyu exchanged a few more words with Xu Jingyan about today's situation and tomorrow's arrangements before preparing to contact Lu Wangshen and the others.

Before that, it seems we should contact Ye Sanqing first...

After asking if it was a convenient time, Sheng Hanyu connected the video call.

"You've come at just the right time. I just finished showering." Ye Sanqing fiddled with his long hair across from him, which seemed to have just been dried by a hairdryer; his hair wasn't completely dry yet.

This job really should be done by me...

Sheng Hanyu suppressed this thought and smiled, "Well, you're quite late today too. Do you have a night shoot?"

"No, I was just watching other people filming, and it got a little late. I only have scenes to film this afternoon, so it's fine. I have plenty of time and mood to listen to you now."

As Ye Sanqing spoke, she waved to the side and asked Xiaoyou to fetch some drinks.

"Let me tell you something rather embarrassing first, but don't laugh at me." Sheng Hanyu held her phone away a little, lifted the corner of her clothes, and pointed to the bandage, saying, "I had a bad day, I got hurt."

"You can actually flip... wait a minute, judging from your expression, it looks like a physical flip?" Ye Sanqing asked in surprise.

Sheng Hanyu thought to himself that it was good that he had given the word. He had to tell Ye Sanqing about this in person, otherwise... he wouldn't be able to play the victim!

“Yes, my whole car and I fell into the river... Ye Siqing was in the car too.” Sheng Hanyu deliberately showed some helplessness.

"Are you alright?" Ye Sanqing's gaze swept over the bandages covering his abdomen and lower ribs. "Is the Lu family being so arrogant, trying to cause an accident or openly setting up roadblocks? That kid Ye Siqing didn't help, did he?"

“He didn’t help much, but at least he didn’t hold us back.” Faced with Ye Sanqing’s barrage of questions, Sheng Hanyu answered them one by one, “Both. He set a trap on the road, but whether that counts as vandalism needs to be determined… Also, I have something to do; it hurts when I breathe.”

"Then you should rest for a few days, right?" Ye Sanqing put down his phone and paced back and forth a few times. "How about I go over there? I should be able to do these things anyway. No, no, forget it, you can just come back. There shouldn't be anything going on now, right? Even if there is, it doesn't matter."

Although Sheng Hanyu knew that Ye Sanqing's words were entirely out of rationality and efficiency, he would assume that it was because the other party cared about him.

"I definitely need to rest. I'll have to ask the crew for leave, or maybe adjust the filming schedule. But when I get back, won't I be starting the Central Plains scenes soon? There haven't been any detailed arrangements yet."

"Is this about filming?" Ye Sanqing was speechless. "Never mind that, just rest. This injury is really painful. The main problem is that it takes a long time to recover. If you keep walking around, you won't be fully recovered for a hundred days."

"I'll take my medicine and rest now. Now I'll tell you what happened today and last night..."

Sheng Hanyu recounted everything to Ye Sanqing, and about half an hour had passed by then.

"I saw the message this morning, but I was busy and didn't ask. I guess you'll contact me tonight," Ye Sanqing said.

"Well, here I am, going to explain the details."

"So, can Lu Mingye accept this outcome?"
