“Aren’t there a bunch of endorsements and web drama scripts that came looking for her? Once she’s done recording <Youth>, she doesn’t have any other schedules lined up, right?” Manager Luo pointed at the files on his desk. “This endorsement, and this web drama—give them to her.”

Feng Peizhi took the two proposals and skimmed through them.

One was a mid-tier foreign makeup brand that had been quite popular in the country.

But not long ago, that brand’s director had made some mocking remarks about the Daxia Empire online, sparking a boycott.

The last celebrity who endorsed the brand had immediately terminated their contract after the incident, earning massive praise from netizens.

The other was a low-budget dual-female-lead* web drama. Since that kind of subject matter was rare, no one in the industry wanted to touch it, and the project had been shelved for a long time.

*means a story where two women share the spotlight as main protagonists, instead of having a single female lead.

Both options were highly risky.

Especially the first one—whoever dared to take on that endorsement at this point would completely destroy their public image.

Giving an artist projects that would ruin their reputation was also a very common tactic agencies used to suppress them.

“Alright.” Feng Peizhi nodded. “I’ll go ahead and take these two jobs for her.”

Manager Luo waved his hand, dismissing her.

When Feng Peizhi walked out of the office, her hands were trembling with anger.

Meng Xue wasn’t as pretty as Si Fuqing, but at least she was obedient and diligent in learning.

Just earlier, Meng Xue’s assistant had even called to say that an old veteran actor praised Meng Xue’s potential today.

It was better for her to just keep managing Meng Xue properly.

She also understood exactly what Manager Luo meant.

After <Youth> finished airing, Si Fuqing would basically be forgotten about.

And even if she left Tianle Media, would any other company in the entertainment industry dare to sign her?

Smaller companies wouldn’t dare, and big companies like Shengxing Entertainment wouldn’t be interested.

Suppressing her anger, Feng Peizhi went back to her own office.

On the way, she ran into another agent from the company.

The agent smiled with hidden meaning. “Peizhi, your Si Fuqing is trending again. She’s built for the trending topic. My artists are all so envious.”

Feng Peizhi forced a smile. “What’s there to envy? She only ever trends for scandals. Anyway, I’m busy, so I can’t chat.”

Back in her office, Feng Peizhi pulled up the phone number from the proposal and started making calls about the endorsement deal.

Meanwhile, at Wangchuan Entertainment—

The boss had just received Manager Luo’s report. His mood finally improved, but not without another round of scolding, “Old Luo, honestly, you can’t even control your own artist? How is this company supposed to grow? Do you really want Shengxing Entertainment to crush us?”

“As for the web drama—we’re obviously taking that deal. The female lead is Meng Xue. That won’t change.”

Just then, the special assistant knocked on the door and entered. “President, news just came in from the show. Xu Xiyun wants to terminate his contract.”

“Terminate the contract? Who’s going to terminate it?”
The company president laughed outright when he heard this. “Si Fuqing? If she really had the ability to get out of a contract, would she still be stuck at Tianle Media?”

“She can barely protect herself, let alone care about anyone else.”

The assistant chuckled too. “I heard the penalty for breaching her contract with Tianle Media is close to ten figures. And besides, she values the show Youthful Days so much—there’s no way she’d cancel the contract.”

The president responded with an indifferent hum. “Enough. Take some people and help Xu Xiyun pack his things. Bring more men. The withdrawal announcement has already been posted—he can’t stay in the training camp any longer.”

The assistant nodded.

But when Si Fuqing came to mind, he still felt a lingering fear.

He steadied his heartbeat and was just about to leave when the door was knocked on again.

Seeing the person who entered, the president frowned and asked his assistant, “Did she have an appointment?”

The assistant was equally puzzled.

The woman stepped forward with a flawlessly formulaic smile. “Hello, I’m Ling Feng from Xinting Law Firm.”

Unhurriedly, she placed a check on the desk, her smile widening. “This is one million. Miss Si requests that your company terminate the contract with Mr. Xu Xiyun within two days. Otherwise, we’ll see you in court.”

Author’s Notes:

PS: There’s a bug with Qingqing’s age. In her past life, she died at 24. I wrote it wrong. I’ll contact the editor to unlock the chapter so I can fix it. If you spot anywhere else I messed up her age, please let me know (:з」∠)
