What did Jin Xuyuan think Phenom was?
It was the most popular and best-selling rock idol band in the country. These guys had even won international acclaim!
Youngsters loved their unique rock style. Every album that they had released in the recent years was really well-received. A new album would get sold out at the pre-order stage, way before hitting the shelves. They commanded a staggering amount of influence in the local music industry.
Huo Xiang was the band leader because of his natural leadership skills, songwriting talent, and flawless performances. It had made him rise to prominence and win him over a hundred million fans.
Jin Xuyuan wanted to profit from their misfortune, hence Tong Yu was naturally furious.
Even if Huo Xiang could never perform on stage again, vermin like Jin Xuyuan had no right to insult him.
“He wants me to let Xiang Nan become the band leader,” said Huo Xiang with feigned nonchalance.
Jin Xuyuan had groomed Xiang Nan from the start. He was also a member of the Phenom but wasn’t the lead singer.
At first, things were peaceful between them, but disparity in their talent left Xiang Nan crazily jealous. Huo Xiang managed to win more fans and signed a lot more endorsement deals.
The moment they caught wind of Huo Xiang’s injuries, they started hatching plans to oust him.
“Although Xiang Nan has some talent, he is too full of himself. The music he composes is flowery and shallow,” said Tong Yu in disdain.
The talent agency wanted him to groom Xiang Nan in the beginning, but he had refused.
Huo Xiang pursed his lips and said nothing.
Tong Yu glanced at Huo Xiang and sighed in his heart. He recalled something and said, “Oh yes! A friend of mine suggested that you try traditional Chinese medicine.”
Huo Xiang was unmoved. Even his third older brother, who was a genius, said he could not dance again, so traditional Chinese medicine...
He shook his head and said indifferently, “Let’s talk about it some other time.”
Tong Yu patted Huo Xiang’s shoulder and said, “I won’t give up even if there is a miniscule chance of success. Go home. Have a good rest and leave the company matters to me. I will take care of it.”
Huo Xiang had signed his artist contract with Chang Entertainment. Although it was not the industry leader, it was a large company that commanded a lot of power and influence.
It had turned many celebrities into huge hits and had abundant resources at its disposal. Plenty of artists wanted Chang Entertainment as their talent agency, but the company had high standards.
Tong Yu had worked in Chang Entertainment for almost ten years. He started as a tiny assistant before becoming one of the company’s top talent agents, so he certainly had the knack. If he was confident that he could deal with the problem, he meant it.
Huo Xiang looked at Tong Yu and said solemnly, “Thanks, Yu.”
Tong Yu waved his hand and replied. “No need to thank me. Just focus on getting better.”
After a moment, Tong Yu continued. “You should avoid going back to your private villa. Jin Xuyuan is up to no good, so you have to be vigilant.”
Huo Xiang nodded and stood up. When he retrieved his mask from his pocket, his hand landed on the medicine bottle that Huo Yao had given him earlier in the morning instead.
He was caught by surprise. He had overlooked it when he left the house and forgot to leave it at home.
Tong Yu noticed it right away and asked him curiously. “What’s that? The bottle looks cute.”
A slightly warm look emanated from Huo Xiang’s face as he said, “It’s a gift from my little sister.”
