"What kind of trends?" Romeo was more confused, wondering what trends had to do with the PR department.

"Beats me." James also knew nothing, his mind blank.

The manager added, "You are interns. Learn from your seniors on how to deal with a PR crisis.”

Then he announced in the department. "All of you, let's have a meeting now."

Without waiting for others’ responses, the manager entered the meeting room of the PR department and projected a PowerPoint file. "The movie, “Angel and Demon on Earth,’ is one of our most important projects. The male and female leads are performed by a popular idol and a famous actress. However, the Twitter trends only focused on another movie, “Top Idol's Trash Picking up’. This is not good for our movie," the manager explained.

"What should we do now?"

“The first thing we need to do is to find the negative news of Top Idol's Trash Picking up’ and reduce the netizens’ expectation of this movie, including news about Eden West and Brock Davila. The key point is that the actress in their movie is a newcomer who has never acted. Such an actress should have a lot of negative news. Before Brock erases all, we must find as much as possible to expose it online. Then the netizens and audiences would detest this movie."

While he explained, he clicked the slides.

When James saw the actress’ photo of “Top Idol's Trash Picking up”, he almost fainted.

It was Poppy!

Romeo also recognized her. He tugged Jame's sleeve and stammered, "Gosh! It... It's your younger sister.”

"Shush..." James squeezed a word between his teeth.

“What's going on? Why did Poppy become an actress and play the female lead? Does Franklin know it?" thought James.

"Hey, interns. Why don't you listen carefully? Concentrate!" The manager darted a glance at the two boys coldly. "Or, do you have any good ideas?"

“No, we don't," James answered hurriedly. How could he do anything to harm his own younger sister?

"We are impressed by your PowerPoint file, Sir. We've learned a lot," Romeo hurriedly flattered the manager, plastering a smile.

"All right. All of you look for negative information about Brock Davila, Eden West, and the actress. After that, use our influential Twitter accounts to post negative news on Twitter. Then hire some paid posters to control the comments. I must tarnish the reputation of “Top Idol's Trash Picking up"

The manager laughed viciously.

"Dismiss!"

Romeo and James remained in their seats.

Other colleagues also packed up their laptops and left the meeting room expressionlessly.

The stress in the air was suffocating.

After all of them were gone, James whispered, "Is this so-called PR? How hilarious! Harming others?"

"Indeed. They purposely slander others and ruin others’ reputations. Is this really PR? I'm shocked.” Romeo was also dumbfounded.

"Well... Let me call Poppy..." James believed it was the most important thing to do now.

Poppy secretly became the movie's female lead. The entertainment business was too cruel for her. James wondered why she had done so. She was a daughter from an influential family but was willing to become an actress.

Poppy was watching Eden perform.

She had to admit that Eden was so poor in acting that she was impressed.

Brock roared angrily on the film set, most of the time scolding him. "Pay attention to your position."

"Why didn't you face the camera?"

"Can you act or not?"

"What's wrong with your facial muscle? Can't you have an expression?" "Feelings! Your eyes lack feelings!"

Eden was always flattered by others, but he was a green hand in acting. No matter how popular he was, he was indeed an unskilled actor.

Therefore, he never retorted to Brock. Instead, he apologized politely, "Sorry, Mr. Davila. Can you give me more instructions?"

After chiding him, Brock was pleased with his attitude and would always teach him.

He scolded Eden in disappointment, "Are you a dummy? How many times have I told you? Why can't you understand me? You are even worse than Poppy. She followed after I told her twice. How many times have I taught you?"

While Poppy watched him blame Eden, her phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, she rushed into the ladies’ room.

Then she called James back. "Did you call me, James? What's up?" Frowning, James asked, "Why didn't you answer my call?"

“I... I didn't hear the ringing tone."

"Poppy, tell me. Where are you now? Be honest."

Poppy could tell he was serious from his voice, her heart sinking. "I..." She hesitated whether to tell James the truth. However, if the movie was released, Franklin would also know it.

She couldn't keep the secret forever.

When she was about to tell James the truth, James snapped, "Stop stammering. Are you in a film set? Poppy, you are not a child anymore. In the past, you made trouble, but it was nothing. How could you act in a movie? You are even the female lead. Who will believe it? Did you have any special relationship with that director? The entertainment business is too complicated for you, silly girl."

Although Poppy hadn't responded, James tried to convince her. Pinching her phone, Poppy was shocked. She didn't expect James to know it, wondering when he had learned it.

Even if she told him the truth, he wouldn't believe why she had become the female lead.

Heaving a sigh helplessly, Poppy didn't know how to explain to him.

In the end, she said, "James, calm down. I'll explain to you after returning home. I'm still busy.”

"You! I'm so pissed! You'd better get ready to explain to Franklin." James ended the call.

Holding her phone, Poppy walked out of the ladies’ room while lowering her head.

However, she bumped into a woman who let out a cry, "Ouch!" Gianna was bumped as she was browsing the news on her phone while walking.

When she raised her head, she recognized Poppy, the female lead of the other crew.

In disdain, she curled her lips. "Oh, it's you. You are nothing, but you dream of becoming a superstar, huh?"

If she hadn't rejected Brock, the girl wouldn't have become the female lead. She believed Poppy gained the opportunity because of her refusal.

The more Gianna thought about it, the more she scorned Poppy and the angrier she became.
