Chapter 14
Chapter 14: New Company, New Manager
“Have I not arranged such opportunities for you before? You were the one who didn’t want it!” Qiu Yaohang retorted.
Ji Wenfeng stared at Shi Ran with his burning gaze, as if his soul had been hooked. He was not listening to Qiu Yaohang at all.
Qiu Yaohang was also aware of this guy’s obsession with looks.
But in the next moment Ji Wenfeng couldn’t help himself.
“What’s your name?” Ji Wenfeng asked enthusiastically.
Qiu Yaohang was speechless. “Ji Wenfeng! Don’t tell me you rushed back without even looking at the information I sent you?”
He knew this guy too well!
Ji Wenfeng would definitely do such a thing.
Ji Wenfeng frowned, not feeling guilty at all. “I didn’t have time to look through.”
“Then read it now. You can decide whether to be her manager or not after reading it.” Qiu Yaohang then took out a document and threw it to Ji Wenfeng.
Ji Wenfeng took the document with his gaze still glued to Shi Ran.
Shi Ran was sitting on the sofa, looking calm.
Of course, that wasn’t how she was really feeling at that moment.
If it weren’t for the fact that the other party’s eyes looked pure and innocent, she would have punched him.
“Can you stop acting like a fool?” Qiu Yaohang felt like he was about to lose all his face.
Ji Wenfeng reluctantly looked away and finally opened the document to read.
While Ji Wenfeng was looking at the documents, Qiu Yaohang remembered to introduce them.
“His name is Ji Wenfeng. He was our company’s top manager three years ago. Yufei… Wen Yufei, the Best Actress, was managed by him previously.”
“After that, this guy decided to leave the industry, so Wen Yufei had to change to her current manager.”
“It can be said that Wen Yufei’s current achievements are largely thanks to him.”
**Pa!**
Ji Wenfeng closed the file.
With a puzzled face he asked. “Your fiancé chose an ordinary woman over a beautiful woman like you?”
Shi Ran was speechless.
Why did he focus on that?
Moreover, although Shi Wenfei was not a peerless beauty, her appearance was not average either.
“He’s obsessed with looks. In his eyes, when there is a best looking person, the rest could only be considered as ordinary looking,” Qiu Yaohang explained.
As if afraid of frightening Shi Ran, he added, “He tends to act a little abnormal only during the first meeting. He’ll be fine after that.”
“Alright.” Shi Ran nodded.
Ji Wenfeng contemplated for a while before saying seriously, “You had too many scandals and anti-fans before so it won’t be easy for you to become famous.”
“Of course, I can help you. But the road will be bitter. I have high expectations so you can refuse if you think you won’t be able to hit them.”
“Let’s sign then.” Shi Ran agreed without hesitation.
Ji Wenfeng.
The book had mentioned this person.
Even the female lead in the book had thoughts of poaching him, but she was rejected.
However, judging from the few words in the book, Ji Wenfeng indeed seemed like an outstanding manager, just like Qiu Yaohang had said.
“Where’s my office?” Ji Wenfeng asked Qiu Yaohang.
“The same one as before. I already got someone to clean it up for you.”
Hearing this, Ji Wenfeng stood up and said to Shi Ran. “Let’s go to my office.”
He seemed to be much more normal than before.
Shi Ran followed Ji Wenfeng to his office.
Ji Wenfeng’s office matched his appearance. It had a simple and masculine vibe.
“Your previous manager didn’t want to manage you seriously, did she? Or did she deliberately want to destroy you?” Ji Wenfeng asked directly.
“Yeah.” Shi Ran nodded.
“I’ve read the information. A lot of your scandals were actually easy to cover up through public relations, and yet your previous studio had always released statements to acknowledge them.”
“With your current reputation, it might seem hard to get it right for some, but not for me.”
“I saw a clip of your acting before I came here. To be honest, it’s very bad. Not only is your acting bad, but your camera sense is also bad. What a complete waste of this face.”
“I wasn’t going to sign you initially, but with that face and that body… I have a feeling you’ll go viral under my care.”
“Therefore, I’m going to train you in all areas. It’s going to be tough. Are you ready?”
Ji Wenfeng’s business-like tone was completely different from that of the infatuated man she first met.
Shi Ran smirked. “Ready.”
Upon seeing the beauty’s smirk, Ji Wenfeng could no longer put on a serious face.
After all, he was still a man with an obsession with looks.
When noon came, Ji Wenfeng brought Shi Ran out for a meal. Then in the afternoon, he dragged Shi Ran to participate in the company’s training.
It was already half past nine in the evening when Shi Ran left Star City Entertainment.
Standing at the entrance, she was about to hail a cab when her phone buzzed and vibrated.
She clicked on a notification.
It was a video sent by a man named Liao Feng.
The video seems to be filmed in a private room with many bright and colorful spotlights.
A man was shown to be kneeling in the center of the private room.
The man had his head down. His dark hair was dripping wet.
The white shirt he wore was stained with yellow and red fluid, causing the shirt to become slightly transparent.
There were shards of glass on the floor too. When he reached down to pick up the glass, the glass shards cut his hands. Even when the glass was stained with blood, he had no complaints.
A second later a man with dyed red hair appeared, holding a bottle of whiskey.
He walked up to the man and smiled nastily.
He tilted his hand and the liquid from the bottle spilled onto the man’s head. It ran down his black hair, across his milky neck, and finally into his shirt.
The man looked up. His face, as delicate as a porcelain doll’s, looked unfazed.
Coupled with the surroundings, the scene was especially heart wrenching.
Then, the video stopped abruptly.
[Liao Feng]: I heard that this is your old flame? VIP box number 4 of the Jade Hunter Nightclub. Do you want to meet there and party together?
Shi Ran tightened her grip and a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
“Why aren’t you leaving?” When Ji Wenfeng came out, he saw Shi Ran still standing at the gate.
“I’m about to leave.” Shi Ran replied while putting away her phone calmly.
“Let me drive you.”
Shi Ran wanted to say no, but then she realized that it would be difficult to get a taxi there.
“Can you send me to the Jade Hunter nightclub?”
“The Jade Hunter Nightclub?” Ji Wenfeng looked at Shi Ran suspiciously.
After all, it was a famous Male Hostess Club.
“Yeah.”
“Let’s go.” Ji said without asking more questions.
After getting into the car, he took something from a box and threw it to Shi Ran.
Shi Ran looked down.
It was a mask.
“I’m not restricting your freedom, but you’re a public figure. It’s not good to be photographed going in and out of places like this.”
“Thank you.”
Shi Ran thanked him before putting the mask on.
After pondering for a while, Shi Ran explained, “I’m not going there to party.”
Since Ji Wenfeng had just become her manager, it was better for her to be honest.
“It’s fine. It’s fine to party. Just don’t be recognized. I’ll take care of it,” Ji Wenfeng said casually.
He picked up his phone and sent a message to Qiu Yaohang.
Ji Wenfeng: “I’ll send my artiste to the Jade Hunter first. You guys gather first.”
Then he tossed the phone aside.
No matter how his phone rang, he did not pick it up again.
Jade Hunter Nightclub
Ji Wenfeng pulled into the parking lot.
“Alighting at the entrance is too ostentatious. The parking lot is more secluded.”
“Sorry to trouble you,” Shi Ran said sincerely.
After getting out of the car, she walked towards the elevator without any hesitation.
Ji Wenfeng picked up his phone and realized that Qiu Yaohang had sent him more than ten messages.
And the last message showed.
[Qiu Yaohang]: The venue of the gathering has changed. It’s been changed to VIP box number 3 at the Jade Hunter. Come over directly.
