Chapter 482: 0472 If you want to know, just follow me to a ce   Chapter 482: 0472 If you want to know, just follow me to a ce                                   “You want to know why?”


    The reporter slightly froze at the smile on her face and nodded subconsciously.


    “If you want to know, follow me to a ce.”


    Su Xinyan, supporting Wen Peipei, intended to go upstairs when she nced at Chu Ling surrounded by journalists, a hint of disdain and ridicule shing in her eyes.


    At this moment, a reporter suddenly shouted from the crowd:


    “Weibo, everyone, check Qianran International’s official Weibo ount.”


    “What happened?”


    “Stop asking, just check Weibo.”


    Seeing the reporter’s ever-changing expressions, everyone could not care less and hastily pulled out their phones to log into Weibo.


    Two secondster.


    All had faces of shock, looking at each other, yet none spoke a word.


    Su Xinyan and Wen Peipei paused in their steps, exchanged a look, then, frowning, turned their gaze to the crowd, their eyes full of confusion and questions.


    Recovering from the shock, the reporters quickly packed their belongings and swarmed toward Qianran International’s direction.


    Qianran International’s conference room.


    Su Ran watched as the reporters scattered and curled her lips into a smirk, slightly swiveling her chair to face the senior executives again.


    She swept an indifferent gaze across the room, finally allowing her eyes to settle on Qin Ke beside her.


    “Go to my office and bring Chu Ling’s contracts, two copies, one from Qianran International, the other from Zisu Entertainment.”


    Qin Ke nodded and replied, “Yes, President Su.”


    Then he turned and left the office.


    The senior executives were astounded, exchanging nces.


    This…


    Zisu Entertainment?


    Had President Su prepared Chu Ling’s contract with Zisu Entertainment from the start? Was she nning to sign Chu Ling all along?


    If so.


    The timing of Qianran International’s new productunch show, how much of it was a coincidence?


    If they had known about her intentions from the beginning, they wouldn’t have wasted their breath advising her.


    –


    The lobby on the first floor of Qianran International was already filled with journalists, the cameras set up and ready, just waiting for Su Ran’s appearance.


    Although Qianran International had no n to hold a press conference, an announcement needed to be made after such a sensational event.


    “This Eldest Miss Su really knows how to y hardball.”


    “Indeed, Chongguang just held a press conference to announce the termination of their contract with Chu Ling, and she signed her in the blink of an eye, even releasing a statement ahead.”


    “Keep in mind, this Chu Ling is the third party who broke up her sister and her future brother-inw. She’s openly supporting the third party, is this really okay? Is she not pping the Su Family’s face?”


    “She probably wants to embarrass Su Xinyan on purpose. The Su Family’s partiality towards Su Xinyan has been evident for a long time, and as the legitimate daughter, the real Eldest Miss Su, how could she swallow such a slight.”


    Inside Su Xinyan’s personal office, Su Xinyan and Wen Peipei also followed the news about Qianran International.


    The first thing they did upon going upstairs was to take out their mobile phones to check the Weibo post mentioned by the reporters.


    Upon seeing the statement issued by Qianran International’s official ount, Wen Peipei almost ran out of breath, copsing onto the sofa.


    “That scourge!”


    Her hand holding the phone trembled uncontrobly, her chest heaving with rage.


    “Grandma, please don’t be anxious, there might be some misunderstanding, sister… perhaps we misunderstood her,” Su Xinyan said.


    Her heart was just as furious. That bitch was clearly challenging her.


    Wen Peipei snorted coldly, “I want to see what kind of misunderstanding makes her oppose you specifically!”


    Both fixated their eyes on the television in the office, waiting for Su Ran’s appearance.


    Time ticked by, second by second, and still, there was no sign of anyone’s arrival.


    Impatience started to show among the crowd of journalists waiting.


    “Are they ever going toe down? Don’t they know we’re waiting for them here?”


    “Exactly, can’t they show us some respect?”


    “Qianran International didn’t say there was a press conference, are you guys new? Don’t you know the rules of our line? If you want news, you gotta wait patiently!”


    The two fell silent and started to wait in quiet.


    At 12:10, on the other side of the lobby, someone slowly walked out.


    Su Ran appeared in a casual business suit with a white silk blouse inside, paired with a waist-pinched zer and matching wide-leg trousers, her feet d in high heels revealing her fair ankles.


    Tall and slender, her simple and fashionable dress highlighted her unique temperament in full.


    She exuded confidence and dominance, her aura fully unleashed.


    “Look, here shees!”


    “Behind President Su, that’s Chu Ling!”


    “So it’s true, has Chu Linge here to sign a contract?”


    The reporters frantically snapped pictures of them, their expressions excited and thrilled.


    Their trip today was truly worth it!


    It was spectacr, incredibly spectacr!


    Eldest Miss Su always brought them news, that was even more sensational than the love histories of A-list celebrities in the entertainment industry.


    But before the reporters had time to rush up with their questions, Su Ran saw them, her face with a formic smile, she spoke first.


    “It seems everyone is here; let me take this opportunity to introduce you all. This is the new artist I’ve just signed, Chu Ling. I believe you’re all familiar with her. As we’ll be seeing each other frequently from now on, I ask for your kind support!”


    “…”


    “…”


    The reporters were dumbfounded!


    Chu Ling, the one everyone criticized, of course they knew her.


    But was this the time to introduce Chu Ling?


    Eldest Miss Su couldn’t have gone mad!


    “President Su, have you really signed Chu Ling?”


    Su Ran: “Yes.”


    “Does this mean that Chu Ling is, after Yun Feng, the second artist under your wing?”


    Su Ran: “Yes.”


    The reporters inhaled sharply, then hurried to ask:


    “President Su, by signing Chu Ling, are you deliberately trying to embarrass Su Xinyan?”


    “Are you unaware that she’s the third party who destroyed your sister’s rtionship?”


    The reporters’ questions grew sharper, even steering the topic towards the discord between the two.


    “Or is it exactly because of this that you decided to sign Chu Ling? By doing so, are you intending to publicly p Su Xinyan’s face?”


    “President Su, by openly supporting a third party, aren’t you afraid of causing a negative influence on society?”


    The relentless questions were like sharp des, and even though Chu Ling was mentally prepared, hearing the term “third party” over and over, her heart couldn’t help but contract sharply.


    Su Ran’s face, exquisitely cold and beautiful, remained undisturbed, and her starry eyes were always cool and indifferent. Hearing the reporters’ questions, she casually scanned them before slowly speaking.


    “Regarding what you’ve mentioned–embarrassment, face-pping–none of that exists. If you must ask why I signed Chu Ling, you could understand it as me having a discerning eye. If you really can’t grasp that, then you can think I am just too bored and looking for something to do.”


    “…”


    “…”


    People’s lips twitched involuntarily.
