As a result of that, even though Su Jinhang had won the first place in the rookie draft competition, he had never received the agency’s attention or favor after signing the employment contract.
Jiang Yuning looked through his entire resume and she realized that Su Jinhang had many award-winning experiences. He had won various singing competitions, dancing competitions, painting competitions, and several other talent shows held in the past.
Therefore, it was simply unreasonable for someone as skilful and talented as Su Jinhang to be overlooked by the company.
There were three main points relating to the negative material on Su Jinhang.
First of all, even though Su Xindi was Su Jinhang’s aunt, Jiang Yuning felt that it was really unfair for the agency to outcast Su Jinhang just because she was his aunt. She was not even his immediate family member and they were not directly related to each another. So, why should he pay the price for her mistakes?
Secondly, Su Jinhang had a very ambiguous and complicated relationship with the daughter of the chairman of his current agency. The only way that Jiang Yuning could find out about the kind of love or hate relationship between both of them was to ask Su Jinhang about it directly.
As for the third point, it was simply because Su Jinhang had a very sloppy image in the past.
Jiang Yuning clicked on a photograph that was attached in the email and she realized that it was a picture of Su Jinhang as a student. He was very dark and skinny at that time and he wore baggy clothes. However, Jiang Yuning found it very interesting that Hou Da had actually added a remark noting that he would often get into trouble during his schooling days.
Was this really considered negative material anyway?
Jiang Yuning really wanted to laugh out loud. Her d*mn sense of justice was screaming out loud within her.
However, Jiang Yuning also understood Hou Da’s concerns about Su Jinhang’s past image. This was simply because the young girls nowadays were easily influenced and shaken by pictures that they saw on the Internet. They could totally be in love with not person today but change their mind tomorrow if they saw an ugly photo of their idol.
Therefore, Jiang Yuning felt that this would be a very challenging mission for her.
At this time, Jiang Yuning quickly sent Hou Da a text message. “I think that I will be able to help you, but what do I stand to gain from this?”
“Are you really trying to make a deal with me?” Hou Da asked in disbelief.
“Well, I need to make a lot of money! I am very poor…”
“Okay then. I will make sure to prioritise you in all of my future adaptations and productions. What do you think?” Hou Da replied in a generous manner.
“Deal!” Jiang Yuning agreed immediately with a fox-like smile on her face.
“However, Empress Jiang…if you mess this up…”
“I will not mess this up.” She had two huge mountains supporting her.
However, Jiang Yuning would not be able to respond or help with Su Jinhang’s public relations based on the little information that Hou Da had given to her. Jiang Yuning would need to investigate the matter further and it would be best if she could figure out the relationship between Su Jinhang and the chairman’s daughter.
She was an actress herself, so why was she so willing to do this for others?
Afterwards, Jiang Yuning decided to appoint the young paparazzo to do all the investigative work on her behalf.
…
Later that night, the group chat that Jiang Yuning created started getting active.
Lost all four pants: “It will be Second Young Master Lu’s birthday soon. What are we planning to do to celebrate his birthday this year?”
CEO Wen is the super invincible and handsome man: “We have Sister-in-Law with us this year. When would it be your turn to decide?”
Tycoon Xu: “We could do what we did last year. Arrange for a three-day luxury tour with three hundred different beautiful girls on board that are available twenty-four hours a day.”
System prompt: Tycoon Xu has been removed from the group chat.
Lost all four pants: “…”
CEO Wen is the super invincible and handsome man: “Hahaha! Xu Liangzhou is really the biggest fool! He really deserved it!”
System prompt: CEO Wen is the super invincible and handsome man has been removed from the group chat.
Jiang Yuning kicked both of them out of the group chat but she did not say anything at all. She was going to pretend that she did not see anything and that she did not remember Lu Jingzhi’s birthday at all.
At this time, Lu Jingzhi had just returned to the bedroom after talking a shower. After Jiang Yuning regained her composure, she quickly beckoned for Lu Jingzhi to come to bed. “Second Brother, come. Let’s sleep soon!”
Lu Jingzhi looked at Jiang Yuning and he thought about what was running through that little fox’s mind.
Had she really forgotten about his birthday?
…
Early the next morning, Vera brought the itinerary and schedule sheet that she had arranged for Jiang Yuning over to Royal Dragon Villa so she could discuss this matter with Jiang Yuning. They were making certain plans and preparations for the activities that Jiang Yuning could do before she started filming <Yan Huasu>.
“There is a variety show called <Secret of the Nation>, a historical and cultural variety program. I think that you will definitely like it. However, the only issue is that Lin Kaiyan would also be one of the permanent guests on this variety program.”
Jiang Yuning laughed as soon as she heard Vera’s words. “Why? Has he turned over a new leaf after losing the best actor award?”
“That is not exactly true. This variety program had been advertised and promoted by the Luo City national television broadcast station during the first half of the year. Furthermore, since it is linked to the nation’s history and culture, only people with a strong cultural background and knowledge would dare participate in the program. Don’t you know that Lin Kaiyan has been trying really hard to maintain his image as the film emperor?”
“History and culture? Why are you trying to sign me up for it, then?” Jiang Yuning asked as she stared at Vera in a helpless manner.
This was exactly the same situation as when Vera had decided to sign her up for <Desert Island Rescue> in the past.
“Yuning, you do not have to be so humble in front of me. I think that this variety program would suit you very well. Moreover, didn’t you say that you found those entertainment variety shows not challenging enough for you?”
It was not Vera who liked her, but it was the audience who liked and wanted to see Jiang Yuning.
However, it would be very hard to attract the attention of the younger viewers when the variety program was all about history and culture.
No matter how good the program was, it would definitely be difficult for the ratings to go up.
However, if Jiang Yuning were to participate in the variety program, it would be an entirely different story,
Jiang Yuning could already predict that she would be all over the hot search again.
She was just a high school graduate who did not even finish college and yet, she was to participate in a historical and cultural variety program? Wouldn’t this be a huge problem?
Therefore, the audience would definitely watch the variety program out of curiosity. It did not matter whether they would watch the show to watch her embarrass herself or whether they were actually there to give her their support as they believed that she would surprise them somehow.
“Alright then, I’ll go!”
“Okay. I need you to promise me that you will try to get along with Lin Kaiyan.”
“I can promise you that, but only if he does not do anything to provoke me in the first place,” Jiang Yuning replied as she clarified her position to Vera.
Vera had already expected it.
“Then, I guess a confrontation is inevitable,” Vera replied with a sigh. However, she was not worried about Jiang Yuning at all.
Some people were born afraid of getting into trouble, but there were others who were born to enjoy chaos.
Jiang Yuning was someone who liked to be happy, chic, and spontaneous. Furthermore, Jiang Yuning also enjoyed facing positive challenges and solving difficult problems.
This was one of Jiang Yuning’s most distinctive features.
This was also perhaps the reason why Jiang Yuning was so attractive.
“By the way, the young paparazzo mentioned that you are looking into someone’s background. What is going on here?”
“There is this handsome young man whom Hou Da is interested to cast as the first male lead in the drama, but there are some issues that she would like me to resolve for her,” Jiang Yuning replied immediately. “I think that Hou Da really thinks too highly of me.”
“It seems as though you do not need me as your agent anymore nowadays…”
“Well, I know that you are busy helping Xiao Chennan with discussing his collaboration with Guangdong Media lately. Therefore, Vera, I think you will need to get used to the fact that I will not be relying on you to help me with a lot of things in future. I will only depend on you to help me finalize all the important collaborations and contracts. I know that you are not an iron man and you will not be able to handle so many things at once.”
Vera froze for a few seconds before she nodded.
Jiang Yuning was really understanding.
She would never be jealous or threw any childish tantrums at all. This was because this was not her character. Jiang Yuning would only spend time solving problems that needed to be solved.
“Alright then, I will finalise all the details with the producers of the variety show. There are also a few magazine shoots and endorsement contracts that I want you to have a look at. However, I would like to declare that I have already removed and screened out all the weird endorsements in advance.”
Jiang Yuning was dumbstruck.
Was Vera still angry about the hemorrhoid cream?
She had already received the endorsement fee!
