But after his scandal, his future was ruined. The sky-high liquidated damages from major brands would be enough to bankrupt him, leaving him no chance to recover.
Seeing Wang Chenyu completely disgraced, Huahua Media knew that no amount of whitewashing would work and could only count itself unlucky.
Zheng Yueshan never imagined that Jiang Ling was behind this incident, seeking revenge for all the past overt and covert attacks. He thought Wang Chenyu hadn't cleaned up his act, and thus the police's divine intervention was justified.
An Qiuyan, however, sensed something unusual.
As a reborn person, she was all too familiar with Huahua Media's situation.
In her past life, Wang Chenyu had also ruined himself over women.
But his downfall was supposed to happen three to four years after he was promoted to A-list. How did he suddenly collapse now?
An Qiuyan immediately suspected that Jiang Ling might be involved.
After all, based on previous deductions, Jiang Ling, like herself, might be a reborn person and familiar with past events.
To retaliate against Huahua Media's schemes, she had orchestrated this.
If Jiang Ling was behind it, then she was definitely reborn.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ling had asked Jian Zhou to help dig up dirt on Huahua Media, intending to test his relationship with An Qiuyan.
For this purpose, she also asked Sister Sa to keep an eye on Xiao Hei.
Unexpectedly, Jian Zhou was able to quickly uncover dirt on Wang Chenyu, Huahua Media's top star heavily promoted with public funds, without seeking help from An Qiuyan, the reborn individual.
This left Jiang Ling both shocked and confused.
Huahua Media had an abundance of traffic stars. While many had dirty secrets, their schedules differed.
Without An Qiuyan's help, how did Jian Zhou accurately pinpoint Wang Chenyu?
To reconstruct the truth as much as possible, she also enlisted Jiang Yushuang's help to keep a close watch on An Qiuyan at all times.
After the news of Wang Chenyu's arrest for pandering and obscenity was exposed, the person responsible for surveillance clearly reported that An Qiuyan was very shocked, clearly having not expected Wang Chenyu's sudden downfall.
This indicated that this explosive piece of news was not leaked by An Qiuyan to Jian Zhou.
So, the question arose: if An Qiuyan didn't intentionally reveal it, how did Jian Zhou know about Wang Chenyu's situation?
The more Jiang Ling thought, the more confused her mind became, truly as tangled as a skein of yarn.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning seemed to strike her mind, sending a shiver through her heart.
Could it be that Jian Zhou was also reborn?
As this thought surfaced, all the doubts and confusions from before were immediately answered.
In the original novel, the character Jiang Ling had no interaction with Jian Zhou. Why would he conceal his identity and deliberately approach her?
Jian Zhou was portrayed as a deeply devoted second male lead, infatuated with An Qiuyan, yet possessing basic moral integrity. How could he resort to such despicable means to unearth dirt on her for An Qiuyan's sake?
Moreover, according to information previously revealed by Jiang Yushuang, the ownership of Huiyao Film and Television was highly likely to fall into Jian Zhou's hands.
If Jian Zhou loved An Qiuyan that much, he should have arranged for An Qiuyan to transfer and packaged her with the best resources long ago. Why was An Qiuyan still lukewarm, remaining at Huahua Media?
If Jian Zhou was a reborn person, all of this could be explained.
According to the common laws of online novels, not just anyone can be reborn.
Generally, only those who had a particularly bad life in their previous existence, carrying too much grievance and resentment, would have the chance to be reborn.
If one lived a very good life, with a happy and fulfilling family, having everything they desired, why would they wish for a second chance at life?
