"What about Yao Chuan and Zhang Yiqing's matters?" Ran Xueyi discussed the remaining two artists she was considering signing under Chestnut.

Wu Qi answered quickly, "Zhang Yiqing has already signed with us. We already sent a manager to handle his other matters and we also moved him out of his previous dormitory to live in a company-owned apartment."

"A company-owned apartment?"

Wu Qi blinked and said honestly, "It was your husband, President Song's arrangement."

No wonder...

She might have to ask him about this apartment that he didn't tell her about later.

Wu Qi continued. "At the moment, a vocal coach has been arranged for him so he can be prepared before debuting as a solo singer. We're also working on looking for a lyricist and producer for his first album."

Ran Xueyi didn't know anything about the singer's circle and had nothing to say. However, she still had to think about this seriously and casually said, "Let's focus on training his vocal presence first and reduce the side effects of having a group. As for a lyricist and producer, I have someone in mind but I might need to finish shooting my drama film first before I can contact that person."

Zhang Yiqing has been with his band for a few years and he had been quite involved with keeping the group. Though he was finally alone and can focus on himself, the shadow of his group might still be lurking somewhere around him. Ran Xueyi wanted to get rid of this shadow and let him shine on the stage as a solo artist.

Wu Qi didn't reject her idea and already took note of her instructions. He continued to discuss the last person, which was Yao Chuan. Yao Chuan's company, ABC Media, was different from Deng Zhenzhen's company. They weren't very reluctant to let him go, rather, they were even a bit 'pushy' when they heard that someone was interested in this not so pleasing trainee that has been under their company for three years.

They only asked for 3 million yuan for terminating his contract with them before they told Wu Qi that Yao Chuan was now his problem. No matter what happens to Yao Chuan, ABC Media doesn't have any responsibility over him.

"I've never witnessed anything like this before. Is this normal in your circle, Madam?"

Ran Xueyi pondered over this before she slowly shook her head, "ABC Media's attitude towards Yao Chuan is really mysterious. Investigate deeply into this and check what is really happening."

Yao Chuan's aunt sold him off to the company and since then, he had been working without getting a cent since the little money he should have been getting from staying with ABC Media was always taken by his aunt. However, this reason was not enough to make a middle-tier company such as ABC Media become more enthusiastic to hand over their own artist no matter if this artist was giving them any benefit or not.

Of course, there was another reason that Ran Xueyi could think of to justify their current attitude towards Yao Chuan, however, Ran Xueyi was hopeful that it wasn't the case.

That 'world' is too dangerous for a young man like Yao Chuan, he shouldn't be involved in it, right?

"On the last day of my shoot, have Yao Chuan come over to Silver City. I want to personally talk to him."

...

After handling some other matters, Ran Xueyi received a call from Feng Huai. He was urging her to come back since there was a change in the schedule because Zhilan couldn't come to the film set anymore.

Hearing this bad news, Ran Xueyi didn't even get to see Song Yu Han for the last time to say goodbye and could only give him a brief notice over the phone to tell him that she would be going to Silver City earlier than expected.

When Ran Xueyi arrived on the film set, the crew was running around with grave expressions on their faces. Director Qing was rubbing his temple as though he was driving the pain away with just this movement and Chief Producer Li was asking the staff members surrounding him.

"This time, Zhilan fortunately grabbed a prop before the harness broke. But still, why did this happen? Where are the prop masters?" Chief Producer Li shouted angrily at them.

A prop master raised his head and came forward.

Seeing him come out, Chief Producer Li narrowed his eyes at him and asked, "Tell me what exactly happened here!"

The prop master wiped his sweaty forehead and quickly answered, "We check all the props in the set everyday. I even sent my assistant to check the harness this morning and he told me there's nothing wrong with it. I really didn't know what happened."

Director Qing frowned and approached the crowd.

She stared at the prop master and asked, "Where's your assistant? Is he here?"

"He asked for a day off because he wasn't feeling well. I let him go since he's already done with his work," the prop master replied without thinking too much. However, after saying this line, he seemed to think that something was wrong with it.

Director Qing detected that something was wrong and angrily inquired, "Do you have his phone number? If you have, call him right now and tell him to come to the set. If he said that he's not feeling well, I will personally admit him to the hospital!"

The prop master was now feeling afraid seeing that someone used him to ruin the shooting. His assistant's actions earlier were also very suspicious and now thinking about it again, what happened to the third female role, Zhilan, might have some connection with him.

Feeling regretful for not doing his job and checked the props again before letting the actors act the scenes, the prop master inwardly slapped himself.

Ran Xueyi guessed what he was thinking and slightly comforted the prop master with a pat before diverting her attention to director Qing. "Though we need to find who did this and make them pay for it, we still have to check on Sister Zhilan's condition..."
