Chapter 359: Exposed

When Ye Xuan saw Lu Zhen, she pointed at the sofa beside her. “Sit down and talk.” Lu Zhen immediately sat on the sofa and looked at Ye Xuan quietly. “It’s very likely that we won’t be able to get that role,” Ye Xuan said solemnly.

Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and her heart sank. How much had she sacrificed for that role and how long had she prepared? No one knew better than her. Yet after such a long time of preparation, she had still failed in the end?

Lu Zhen took a deep breath and was a little indignant. Just as she was about to ask the reason, Ye Xuan took a sip of water anxiously and continued in a gloomy tone, “Someone stabbed you in the back. This matter even involves Jia Le t s internal affairs. Song Jia has already gone to the company to deal with it.” Lu Zhen’s disappointed gaze immediately became puzzled.

Ye Xuan’s chest heaved slightly. Clearly, this matter had angered her greatly. Seeing that Ye Xuan was in a bad mood, Xiaoxiao was afraid that Ye Xuan would get angrier the more she spoke, so she took out the tablet in her bag and found a few screenshots. Then, she handed the tablet to Lu Zhen.

Xiaoxiao knew that Lu Zhen usually did not pay much attention to things on the Internet. At this moment, seeing that Lu Zhen knew nothing, she felt terrible. She was even more afraid that Lu Zhen would not be able to accept the truth.

Lu Zhen took the small tablet and felt a little nervous. She didn’t even want to look at the photos, but in the end, she took a deep breath and looked at the screen.

The first screenshot was an exposé by a Weibo marketing account. The title of the exposé was: “Shocking news! Lu Zhen and the internationally famous director, Samir, were chatting happily at the banquet. She’s suspected to be acting in the new movie that Samir is preparing to shoot!”

When Lu Zhen saw this message, her face turned pale, and her heart felt like it had been hit by a hammer.

As she continued reading, she saw a few accompanying photos. The photos seemed to have been secretly taken. The images were a little blurry, but she could still see the two people chatting in the garden not far away. One of them looked foreign, and the other was wearing a retro cheongsam with an elegant aura.

There was actually a picture!

Lu Zhen was almost suffocating. She could completely imagine what kind of storm this revelation would cause.

Her popularity was high to begin with, and the fans and audience in the country had always been looking forward to the exciting performances of domestic actors in international movies. Now that the marketing account had revealed that Lu Zhen and Samir might work together, there was no doubt that the fans and audience would pay crazily attention to this matter.

To the fans and audience, this was exciting news. It was their revelry, but to Lu Zhen, this was simply a death curse.

Lu Zhen tightened her grip on the tablet, her knuckles pale. This revelation ruined all her efforts during this period of time. Just as Ye Xuan had said, she could not get that role.

Samir had originally had a good impression of her. But when he saw this news, would he think that this revelation was from Lu Zhen’s company?

With those few secretly taken photos, Samir might very well think that all of this was a show arranged by Lu Zhen and Lu Zhen’s company. Their acquaintance and conversation were all traps set by Lu Zhen, and he was treated as a part of the plan.

After this news was released, it would definitely cause a sensation on the Internet. Countless netizens would definitely pay attention to this matter. Lu Zhen was very popular in the country and had a good audience. There would definitely be many netizens who supported her acting in an internationally famous director’s movie.

But to Samir, this was equivalent to threatening him. If he did not choose Lu Zhen in the end, would the audience in Country Z be angry and disappointed and blame him, even hating him? Would the audience not buy it when the movie was released in Country Z after filming?

Because of Lu Zhen’s revelation, all the pressure shifted to Samir. He was originally a very low-key person, and the movie had not been announced to the public for the time being. Yet the netizens of Country Z were paying attention to him now.

This feeling of being roasted on a fire would definitely make him extremely angry.

Xiaoxiao’s heart ached when she saw that Lu Zhen’s eyes had lost focus and her face was pale. She wanted to say to Lu Zhen, “It’s fine. We can explain to Samir that we didn’t post this news. I can still fight for that role.”

Xiaoxiao could not say this out loud, though. If there was no second incident, there might still be a 1% chance of this happening. However, the person behind Lu Zhen was really too ruthless. He did not give Lu Zhen any chance at all and completely forced her to a dead end, leaving her no chance to struggle..
