Chapter 5 - Part 5:How come there's no movement from Song's side yet?

Before they arrived at the filming set, the company's statement was already out.Lan checked the social media accounts of Song and his team immediately, but there was still no response from them."This is strange," Lan said, frowning. "How come there's no movement from Song's side yet?" For someone like Song, a top-tier star, there would definitely be a PR team handling such rumors right away. Their reaction should be faster than ours, but it's already been half the day, and they haven't said a word. Song's name is still at the top of the trending searches.Zoe replied, "If they're not reacting, then so be it. We've issued the statement, and that's enough."Lan suddenly said, "If only you two were actually dating."Zoe rolled her eyes. "Lan Jie, stop dreaming.""You don't know how many people have reached out to me this morning, asking about you and potential collaborations," Lan continued. "I don't like to talk about data, but in this industry, data is everything. What can I do? Before this, had you ever been on the trending list? Did people even know your name?"Zoe didn't want to hear Lan's rant."Alright, I got it. But I really haven't been dating Song, so stop bringing it up," Zoe said. "I'll work hard, focus on acting, and get famous as soon as possible so you can start making big money too."Just as they were talking, they arrived at the filming location."But this is quite the coincidence. It was tough to get you on this show; I had to treat people to several meals just to make it happen. They really got lucky with the timing."Lan held up an umbrella to shield Zoe from the sun, escorting her inside. "They've really gotten a free ride."The show Zoe was about to record was called "The Weather is Great," a popular outdoor game variety show. The production crew was practically a small film set.Lan introduced Zoe to the director, and immediately, her expression brightened, flashing a warm smile. "Director Wang!"Wang, the director, was in his early forties, wearing a fisherman's hat. When he looked at them, his face lit up with a smile. "Oh, Xiao Lan, you're here.""Xiao Zoe, this is Director Wang. If you're on this show, it's all thanks to him. Make sure to thank him for his support," Lan said.Zoe gave a sweet smile and said, "Director Wang."Wang gave her shoulder a light pat, grinning. "You're even more beautiful in person than on screen." Zoe beamed even brighter. "Well, if you've seen so many beauties and still think I'm pretty, then I must really be beautiful."Her smile was full of confidence, radiating a warm, bright energy.Wang's eyes turned a little deeper, and he turned to Lan. "You've got a good eye."Lan laughed, lightly tapping Wang's shoulder. "Of course I do!""But I heard you and Song are dating?" Wang turned to Zoe, his expression a bit playful. "I woke up this morning, and that's all anyone's been talking about."Zoe stayed quiet.Lan rolled her eyes. "Come on, Director Wang. People believe those paparazzi stories, but we're not even worthy of having someone like him date us. In just one morning, we've already been slandered all over. It's just because we happened to stay at the same hotel last night, and a few misleading photos were taken. These days, it's so easy to spread rumors—there's no cost to it. It drives me crazy."Wang seemed a little regretful as he responded, "It's just paparazzi rumors? Someone really should deal with these lies."After some casual pleasantries, Wang said, "Alright, you two go get ready. I've still got some final checks to do here. What time is it? Ah, it's two o'clock. The recording will start in about an hour. Someone will come and call you when it's time.""Alright, you get to work," Lan said.Lan then led Zoe to the resting room prepared for the cast.It was a top show, so every guest, no matter their rank, had their own private room. Lan told Zoe to rest for a bit. "The recording will probably go until early morning, and then you'll need to do some promo shots.""You're staying with me the whole time?" Zoe asked."I wasn't planning to, but with everything going on today, I have to stick around with you," Lan said. "You take a rest; I still have some work to do, and there are a lot of messages I need to reply to.""Mm," Zoe nodded.She sat on the couch, ready to look at her phone when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
