Quick Transmigration: The Beautiful Host Wants to Have Both Love and Career
Chapter 485 The Love and Career of a Beautiful Writer 23
Sui Si struggled to turn over, but his left hand touched not the familiar phone case, but the cold metal frame of the graphics tablet.
Then he remembered that when the two of them were huddled by the bay window last night revising the storyboard, he had casually piled up his work equipment on the bedside table.
At this moment, the digital pen was rolling down below Jun Sui's collarbone, the tip pressing a faint red mark on his pale skin.
"Ding--"
The first message notification sound was like a fine needle piercing the tranquility of the early morning.
As soon as Sui Si touched the phone screen, dozens of unread notifications flooded in like a burst dam. Among them, Jun Li Que's avatar was jumping wildly, followed by a red exclamation mark of 99+.
The voice message at the top played automatically, and Ran Cang's voice cracked with urgency:
"My brothers! You need to check Weibo right now! The entire anime community is in an uproar!"
Jun Sui sat up abruptly, the silk sheet sliding down his shoulder blades to his waist, revealing the distinct curves of his spine.
Sui Si stared at the muscles on the back of the other person's neck that were rapidly tensing up, and suddenly noticed the faint redness on the tips of the person's ears in the morning light.
Just like last week when they were arguing about the storyboard in the equipment room, and he leaned close to his ear to speak.
The glaring red numbers on Weibo's trending topics list immediately caught my eye.
Jun Sui Si's relationship exposed
Like a bomb, it was listed first, followed by the blood-red word "explosion".

The Inside Story of the Director Change for the Animation "Starfall"
Below that... Sui Si's pupils constricted sharply; the third entry was...
Wang Daxing gave it a thumbs up.
The "big director," who was preoccupied with his own problems, was currently liking the Weibo post that broke the news using his official account.
"Read the contents first."
Jun Sui's voice suddenly calmed down, and his finger had already clicked on the first trending topic.
The nine photos unfold sequentially, each precisely capturing the most ambiguous moment:
Under the observatory dome, Jun Sui's profile was almost touching his as he adjusted the digital pen;
On the terrace in the night breeze, the two men clasped hands as they discussed the storyboard.
And yesterday in the equipment room, Jun Sui bent down and pointed to the original artwork on the tablet computer, the back of which was almost touching the back of his neck.
The composition is so clever, it's like a meticulously designed still from a movie; even Sui Si himself was stunned when he saw it.
The accompanying text and images are like a poisoned knife:
According to industry insiders, Jun Sui secured the S-level project through special connections, while director Wang Daxing's departure is shrouded in mystery...
Sui Si's nails dug deeply into her palms, and she only realized she was trembling when Jun Sui's hand covered hers.
He looked up abruptly, only to meet Jun Sui's tightly pursed lips. The man's eyes, which were usually always smiling, were now as cold as ice, and his fingertips were sliding faster and faster across the screen.
The comments section has completely spiraled out of control.
The top-rated comment, featuring a "2D detective," compared the two versions of the "A Glimmer of Hope" PV, highlighting the differences in storyboard style with red circles:
"After Director Jun took over, all the close-up shots deliberately highlighted the screenwriter's name. Is he making this animation like a diary about chasing after a wife?"
The post below was followed by tens of thousands of reposts, with the most liked comment reading:
"Director Wang's statement about retiring from the entertainment industry said 'Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together,' which now seems to have a lot of hidden meaning."
"I'm clearly the screenwriter! I'm the one in charge!"
Sui Si grabbed a digital pen and slammed it onto his pillow. The pen cap rolled to the edge of the carpet, revealing the dented nib inside—a habit he had whenever he was under a lot of pressure.
"Wang Daxing took the entire original art team with him, and now he's turning around and accusing you of relying on connections?"
And these photos...
His voice suddenly stopped, his fingertips tracing the photograph of clasped hands.
He recalled the day Jun Sui shielded him from the falling storyboard, and the warmth that quickly spread from the other's palm when their fingertips touched.
Jun Sui suddenly grabbed his wrist. The man's fingertips brushed against the cold sweat on the back of his hand, his voice extremely soft:
Do you remember the first time we met?
Sui Si looked up and met those ever-calm, pure black pupils, which were now churning with undercurrents.
“At that time, you were suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. You had just lost your friends and sister and had nothing left. You were exhausted and dejected all over.”
Jun Sui gently brushed her fingertips across the kiss marks under his eyes.
"At that time, I thought, this person is always looking for answers, it seems like he doesn't believe in fate."
My phone started vibrating again; this time it was a video call from Jun Li Que.
The moment Jun Sui answered the call, Ran Cang's large face filled the screen, with a chaotic office behind him. He could vaguely see the promotional poster for "A Glimmer of Hope" torn in half and hanging on the back of a chair.
"My two great Buddhas!"
Ran Cang's hair clip tilted to one side. "The PR department is already preparing a statement, but Wang Daxing's team is stirring up trouble, saying you're deliberately suppressing newcomers—"
"Wait a minute." Sui Si suddenly grabbed Jun Sui's wrist. "Wang Daxing was on trial abroad yesterday, he can't be here right now... How could he..."
Before the words were even finished, a new message suddenly popped up in the bottom right corner of the screen:
Wang Daxing updated his Weibo with a screenshot of a chat log, in which the profile picture of "Sui Si" was clearly displayed:
"The storyboard must be changed according to Director Jun's wishes, otherwise we'll replace him."
"This is a fake!"
Sui Si felt a throbbing pain in his temples. He clearly remembered that the message was actually sent by the production company, and he had complained to Jun Sui about capital interfering with creative work.
However, the screenshot deliberately cropped out the chat contact at the top, leaving only his reply.
Jun Sui's fingers suddenly tightened, and Sui Si then noticed that the other person's lock screen wallpaper was still the one taken at the observatory last week.
He leaned against the binoculars and yawned, and Jun Sui accidentally captured half of his face in the frame while taking a candid photo.
"Now is not the time to get bogged down in the details."
Ran Cang suddenly lowered her voice, "Look at the fifth trending topic, an account claiming to be 'insider information from the original art team' has made some juicy revelations..."
Sui Si immediately swiped over and saw a blurry screenshot from a surveillance camera, showing the time as 3 a.m. In the picture, Jun Sui's figure appeared at the entrance of the production company's office.
The caption reads: "A late-night secret meeting with investors: Was it about anime modifications or a trade-off?"
Sui Si felt a churning in his stomach.
He recalled that late the night before last, Jun Sui had indeed mentioned going to talk to the production company about increasing investment.
At the time, I was still revising the storyboard. Before he left, he specially covered his shoulder with a blanket and said, "Don't wait for me, go to sleep first."
At this moment, those details are being distorted into evidence of a conspiracy, and every frame is pushing them into the abyss of public opinion.
"We need clarification evidence."
Jun Sui suddenly spoke, his voice carrying the authority of a film set director.
"First, have the legal department verify all chat logs and original surveillance footage, especially Wang Daxing's screenshots."
Then..."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the digital pens and storyboards scattered on the bedside table.
"Ah Si, do you remember the storyboard for episode 7 of 'A Glimmer of Hope'?"
What notation system did we use for the encrypted letter the protagonist found in the ruins?
Sui Si was taken aback, not understanding why the other party would suddenly ask this question.
"It's... a line encrypted with the Fibonacci sequence."
He answered instinctively, "You mean this would give the audience a sense of participation in solving the mystery..."
"Correct."
Jun nodded, his fingertips rapidly tapping on his phone's memo app, "Now we need our own 'encrypted message'."
The storyboard revision records from the first three months were compiled into a table, noting the time and reason for each revision, as well as the feedback from Wang Daxing's team.
besides..."
He suddenly grasped Sui Si's hand and gently drew a circle in the other's palm. "Which jacket were you wearing in the equipment room that day?"
"White hoodie...what's wrong?"
Sui Si felt her palms burning, remembering that the left cuff of that garment still carried the scent of Jun Sui's perfume.
"In the part captured by the surveillance footage, your hoodie had the logo of 'A Glimmer of Hope' embroidered on the hood, and other people's assistants were also present that day."
Jun Sui took out his phone and pulled up the access control records from that day.
"If I remember correctly, the surveillance footage from the equipment room is automatically backed up to the cloud every fifteen minutes, allowing us to compare recordings from different time periods..."
"Wait, what are you talking about?" Ran Cang's voice was filled with confusion.
