Chapter 125: The 125th day of being popular
Yao Xinxin's eyes widened slightly, "What do you mean by signing Yao Bianliang into the company? Are you trying to go against my Yao family?"
Lately, everything has gone against her.
These people clearly knew that Yao Bianliang and her never got along, yet they still dared to sign her into the company.
The agent couldn't help but feel a bit disdainful.
Although Yao's family was a wealthy family, at most they could only be considered as a cooperative relationship with their company.
Yao Xinxin could boss him around every day, but it might not necessarily change the minds of the company's higher-ups.
In the end, Yao's family didn't have that much capability.
Yao Xinxin also saw the hint of disdain in the agent's eyes, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
She clenched her hands tightly, her thoughts spinning rapidly, almost speaking without thinking, "What about Lu Yanchen? Aren't you afraid of Lu Yanchen coming after you?"
When the agent heard the name Lu Yanchen, his expression finally changed slightly.
Indeed, Lu's family was not someone they could afford to offend.
He paused, his tone not as harsh as before, and finally said, "I can't intervene in this matter. Maybe you can go to Lu and plead with him. Maybe there will be a chance for things to turn around."
"However, in my opinion, the company's determination to sign in Yao Bianliang is very firm, so be prepared yourself."
The agent left after tossing out this sentence, leaving Yao Xinxin sitting on the sofa with a blank expression, her mind in chaos.
"No, it's not possible. Absolutely cannot let Yao Bianliang join Ansheng Entertainment..." Yao Xinxin's lips trembled slightly.
She didn't know when she started to lose so much. Popularity, reputation, fan base... until now, even her position within the company was about to be shaken.
This feeling of constantly losing made her feel panicked.
No matter what, she absolutely couldn't let the higher-ups in the company sign Yao Bianliang.
The assistant stood on the side, silently watching this scene, with doubts in his heart.
Come to think of it, why were these people so confident?
The agent wanted the company to sign Yao Bianliang, while Yao Xinxin wanted to prevent the company from signing Yao Bianliang. But whether it was the agent or Yao Xinxin, they seemed convinced that Yao Bianliang would definitely want to join Ansheng Entertainment.
Who said that just because you were the largest entertainment company in the country, others would definitely want to join?
The assistant couldn't help but curl his lips.
Perhaps, Yao Bianliang didn't even want to join in the first place.
In recent days, Ansheng Entertainment has been much busier than usual. Staff members shuttle back and forth in the corridors with files in their arms, hurriedly and anxiously.
It has been a troubled time for Ansheng Entertainment. Not only was Luo Shuai exposed in a scandal, but the company's top star Zhang Jingwen also narrowly avoided being exposed as a mistress.
Even the rising star Yao Xinxin has been embroiled in controversy over a voting incident, causing her popularity to plummet.
The public relations team at Ansheng Entertainment is working overtime, staying up late every day just to deal with these scandals involving their artists.
As Yao Xinxin walks through the hallway and office area, she sees this scene and frowns slightly.
Since her agent told her that the company is considering giving up on her, Yao Xinxin hasn't been able to remain calm.
If the company gives up on her, her parents will surely have a lot to say, and she won't be able to use the Yao family's resources recklessly anymore. Moreover, the main areas of the Yao family are not in the entertainment industry, so she will be completely lost if she fails.
Thinking of this, Yao Xinxin couldn't help but quicken her pace and walked toward Manager Zheng's office.
The office is located in the corner, and the door is half open. When Yao Xinxin reaches the door, she hears voices from inside the room.
"Manager Zheng, what do you want to do?"
Inside the office, the marketing and public relations department's Zhou Fei furrows his brow and looks at Manager Zheng, who is sitting leisurely in a chair.
"Manager, Yao Xinxin privately bribed judges and had people brush her votes, and the company turned a blind eye to this. When the company's top star Zhang Jingwen was exposed as a mistress, the company helped her suppress the scandal, and that was okay. But Luo Shuai's situation is different! If we help him suppress the scandal, how are we any different from his accomplices?"
Luo Shuai was exposed in a sleeping-pill scandal, and he slept with minors under the age of 18.
If Zhou Fei had not heard this news firsthand, he would never have thought that the "innocent boyish Ah Shuai" that fans talked about would be such a person.
And now, the company not only did not report or terminate his contract but also asked them to help suppress the scandal for Luo Shuai.
Colleagues advised Zhou Fei not to act rashly, but he couldn't help it.
Manager Zheng sat in the main seat and looked at him deeply, sighing slightly.
He was really just a newly graduated college student, inexperienced in dealing with such things.
He had not experienced the harsh realities of society, and he had naively come to his office to ask these questions. Did this child really think that the entertainment industry was as glamorous as it appeared on the surface?
