Just as Ye Qiu was preparing to approach the crew for his third drama, Deep Blue Entertainnt decided not to give up on such a lucrative asset and assigned him a manager.
Upon hearing the manager’s na, Ye Qiu’s face turned dark, with an obvious low pressure.
"Don’t give that face now, Ji Guang’s abilities are quite outstanding. Look at the artists he’s managed, which one of them hasn’t beco a big hit? The company values you, which is why they assigned Ji Guang to you. From now on, he’ll be handling your affairs." The executive patted Ye Qiu’s shoulder with a smile.
"Please take care of in the future." The man across from Ye Qiu smiled, seemingly looking at Ye Qiu as if he were just a plaything.
Seeing his calculating smile, Ye Qiu couldn’t really smile back. Since they sent him, it ant the company had no intention of cultivating him. They just wanted to make quick money off him and cash in on his popularity as quickly as possible.
Ye Qiu rembered Ji Guang not just because they once worked at the sa company, but also because of the scandals he was involved in later.
The executive wasn’t wrong; the artists managed by Ji Guang indeed beca hits, but that was in the past. Eventually, they all fell — so were exposed for being kept, so beca mistresses, and so even engaged in dirty dealings for resources without any bottom line.
The workload he assigned was heavy. If you didn’t do those things, then you could run yourself ragged with schedules. There was once a second-tier actress who had won Best Supporting Actress, and she was driven to stomach bleeding and depression, ultimately quitting the entertainnt industry.
Moreover, he never considered the long-term developnt of the artists; he only cared about who offered more money, regardless of whether the gigs were dangerous or damaging to their image.
But even with such poor character, since he made the company a lot of money every year, no one could do anything about him. Typically, Deep Blue Entertainnt would only assign him when an artist’s contract was about to end and there was no intention to renew.
However, because Zhu Li still held so influence within the company, and the company didn’t want to lose such a good money-making opportunity with Ye Qiu, hence the scene today.
Ye Qiu wasn’t afraid of Ji Guang threatening him, nor was he afraid of hard work. He feared that if Ji Guang’s scandals broke out again in the future, it would affect him.
In his past life, he got tangled up with a batch of artists because of him, and he feared that being associated with Ji Guang would lead to suspicion, even if he hadn’t done anything wrong.
"I’m just a small artist. It wouldn’t trouble Brother Ji, right?" Ye Qiu smiled, seemingly a bit embarrassed, completely different from the earlier low pressure, "I can manage on my own."
"How could that be?" The executive had a rather ambiguous smile. "You’re a big star in our company now, and if you don’t have a manager, others might think we don’t value you. Rest assured, having Ji Guang follow you is because he wants to. You’ve only just entered the entertainnt circle; if there’s anything you don’t understand, Ji Guang will handle it for you."
"I..."
Ye Qiu wanted to say more, but the executive was already preparing to leave: "Alright, I’ve said all I need to. You two should talk privately."
After the executive left, Ji Guang’s gaze was a bit wicked as he looked at Ye Qiu, grinning, "What? Afraid of ?"
Feeling his gaze, Ye Qiu felt utterly disgusted. This man, leveraging his status, had oppressed countless naive artists. Many had committed suicide because of him in a past life, and now he was already scheming against him?
What nerve!
But his contract was still in their hands, and it wasn’t the ti to turn hostile, so Ye Qiu could only swallow his anger.
"Brother Ji, you’re joking. I’ve long heard of your reputation. I’m thrilled to have Brother Ji as my manager, why would I be afraid?" Ye Qiu said, sowhat shyly.
"But when you ca in, looking at my eyes didn’t seem like you were happy." Ji Guang said without much care, "But that’s okay. I don’t care if the artists under like or not, as long as they are obedient."
"Brother Ji is right." Ye Qiu "awkwardly" smiled.
Seeing his smile, Ji Guang laughed even more brazenly, "I heard you moved out of the company’s dorm before? Well, I have an empty place. To make work easier in the future, you should move in today."
"That doesn’t seem right." Ye Qiu lowered his eyes, a frosty light within, "After all, it’s Brother Ji’s own house. I can just stay where I was renting."
"The company’s arrangent is that I manage all your affairs, so what I just said was to inform you, not to negotiate, understand?" Ji Guang stood up, giving Ye Qiu another bold glance, "Let’s go, I’ll drive you to pack your things. But if you don’t want to pack, that’s fine too, I have everything."
"Then let’s go pack, I have a pet bird, can Brother Ji’s place accommodate that?" Ye Qiu inquired?
At this ti, Ji Guang didn’t realize how much trouble that bird would bring him and waved his hand indifferently, "As you wish."
He thought it was just a bird; if it was noisy, he could just kill it. What he cared about now was how to get Ye Qiu to his place as soon as possible. How had he not noticed such a gem before?
But it’s not too late now, having him in hand, it was just a matter of ti before he consud him.
"Ye Qiu, congratulations. Don’t forget about when you make it big with Brother Ji." When Ye Qiu and Ji Guang walked out of the elevator, they encountered Qiao Wenxi.
Qiao Wenxi evidently knew about Ye Qiu being taken over by Ji Guang, or else he wouldn’t have co to mock so coincidentally.
He looked at Ye Qiu with a blatant expression, full of ridicule, as if already seeing Ye Qiu’s embarrassing monts.
He thought smugly, wasn’t Ye Qiu always so proud? Didn’t he always look down on him?
Falling into Ji Guang’s hands, how could he stay proud? What future does he have in the entertainnt industry? He’s just going to be squeezed dry for his value.
Sister Zhu Li was right, she really had a way to make sure Ye Qiu could never surpass him.
Ye Qiu ignored this self-satisfied petty man, his gaze unwavering.
"Yo, climbing high makes you look down on everyone?" Qiao Wenxi wouldn’t let it go, sneering in Ye Qiu’s ear, "Need to introduce you to a proctologist?"
"Why don’t you keep that for yourself, idiot." Ye Qiu strode out, letting out a cold snort.
"Did you dare to insult ?" Qiao Wenxi shouted, "Ye Qiu, who the hell are you, revel while you can. In the future, you won’t even be worthy to carry my shoes."
"Doesn’t what he said make you angry? You seem much calr than I thought," Ji Guang laughed wickedly, "I think his suggestion about introducing a doctor isn’t bad at all."
"Really?" Ye Qiu lightly chuckled, "Who needs it more is uncertain, Brother Ji better not speak too soon like Qiao Wenxi."
