Chapter 549: 351 Tang Wan is not to be trifed with, Taotao’s meticulous care (2 more updates)

Tang Wan had not returned yet, and You Congrong still had announcements, so she hastily left. After her car drove away from the Jiang Family residence, her agent’s tense nerves finally relaxed a bit.

“Congrong, you’ve always wanted to work with W Studio. Were you really chasing Tang Wan’s popularity?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Last school anniversary, I saw you constantly watching Jiang Jinsang. I warned you, even if you had some thoughts about him before, he’s married now. If you want to continue in the circle, you’d better nip that thought in the bud.”

“Who said I had any thoughts about him? I’m just thinking, having a good relationship with the Jiang Family would be better for my future development.”

“I think you understood what Madam Jiang said.”

…

Soon, the vibration of her agent’s phone broke the silence. She glanced at it and threw the phone to her, “I told you not to go to the Jiang Family. You wouldn’t listen. Do you really think Tang Wan is a pushover? See for yourself!”

You Congrong took the phone, and there was a statement from W Studio on it.

It essentially said,

[Our studio has not released any joint products with anyone, nor do we intend to collaborate, thank you for your concern and love.]

Even casual viewers could see something was amiss.

“W Studio, aside from releasing some Cyan Feather creations and tutorials, this is the first time they’ve issued such a statement. It’s clearly a slap in the face for You Congrong.”

“This morning fans were still in a self-inflicted ecstasy, but didn’t expect the studio to debunk the rumor so soon. There probably won’t be any collaboration plans in the future.”

“I don’t know who released the news, but it’s so embarrassing.”

“Who else could it be? Her family is always stirring up trouble and leading the narrative. I bet they didn’t expect Tang Wan to be so tough. Normally, bullying a few lesser stars is one thing, but why would Tang Wan accommodate her.”

…

This morning, a bunch of people were singing praises of a heavenly collaboration, but in just a few hours, You Congrong had become an object of ridicule.

Her agent grimly said, “I told you earlier, people like Tang Wan, we can’t mess with them. Even if we don’t collaborate, we shouldn’t have soured the relationship. Now look what’s happened, not to mention collaborating, it’ll be awkward even meeting face to face!”

“She’s not from the entertainment circle, she doesn’t care about these things, so naturally, she can say whatever she wants. Don’t apply the circle’s set of rules on her, it’s futile.”

In the entertainment circle, publicity by association is common. As long as there’s popularity, truth or lie doesn’t matter. Rarely do studios and the main parties get involved to this extent.

Thus, she never expected Tang Wan would so quickly enter the fray personally.

She bit her lip, silent for a long time.

At the studio,

Tang Wan was holding a pair of bent-nose pliers, working on her own accessories, when Chen Zhi came in and made her a cup of tea. “The statement has been released.”

“Thank you,” Tang Wan set down the pliers and took a sip of tea.

“Did we really need to go this far?” Chen Zhi didn’t understand. She had told them this morning to stay out of this matter, and yet, just a few hours later, they had to issue a statement.

“I originally thought to leave room for reconciliation, but now I don’t see the need.”

Perhaps it was a woman’s intuition. At the last school anniversary, she felt that You Congrong had unusual feelings for Jiang Jinsang. And now, she’s actually gone to the Jiang Family under the guise of seeking her…

If you wanted to discuss collaboration, why didn’t you notify me beforehand?

The online announcement of a planned collaboration had already made her uncomfortable, and now acting in her name and bypassing her clearly showed a lack of respect. So, why should she leave any face for her?

“You have your reasons for doing things. I’m here to let you know, the materials you ordered have arrived.”

“Really? I’ll go take a look,” Tang Wan said, standing up to leave.

“What are you going to do with these materials? You treasure them so much.”

“My brother and sister-in-law are returning, and they’re planning their wedding. I thought I’d make a Cyan Feather bridal set for my sister-in-law.”

“What about your own? You and he are already registered, when are you planning the wedding?”

“Let’s wait until Jiang’s health is better.”

…

What Tang Wan wanted was a wedding gift for Shen Zhixian, so it had to be kept secret. But she didn’t know if Zhixian might be allergic to some materials, so she quietly made a call to Jiang Yanting.

“There shouldn’t be any allergies.”

“That’s good,” Tang Wan said with a smile. “How are you and sister-in-law doing these days? Are you having fun?”

“It’s all right.”

“Then I won’t disturb you.”

Jiang Yanting wasn’t much for words, and after a few exchanges, he hung up.

But lifting his eyes, he saw Shen Zhixian not far away, taking photos of the two kids. Taotao’s personality was originally more reserved, but after coming out, probably influenced by Jiangjiang, became much livelier. They were posing together, and Shen Zhixian was busy changing positions to take their pictures.
