Chapter 526 Freeing Her from the Trouble

Teacher Chen had heard of that event. Although she was not clear about the details of it, she had heard many kinds of rumors, which claimed that Ye Huan and her sister had a powerful background.

But Ye Huan and her sister had never mentioned it, so she always thought that people just circulated erroneous reports, but now she thought that it might be true, and the protagonist of that event was probably the young man in front of her.

Remembering that the extremely powerful and arrogant Fang Family had been trampled on by the young man in front of her, Teacher Chen was sincerely happy that Ye Huan and her sister had such a powerful backer.

If she had had such a backer in those years, she, who was unwilling to submit to the hidden rules, would not have given up the chance to enter the entertainment industry and stayed at school to teach.

“It is really difficult to predict a person’s luck… alas!” Chen Zihua showed a little regret on her pretty face, but she then became highly spirited again. Ye Huan and her sister were the most intelligent students with the most qualities of art she had ever seen. Since she had taught such students, she would not have lived in vain in this life.

“Thank you, brother; thank you, Sister Yimeng. We will work hard and won’t let you down.”

Ye Huan, Ye Le, and Pan Xiangyun had excited smiles, and the feeling of losing something and then getting it back made them overjoyed.

“No, Yimeng, we can’t accept them. This is against the rules.”

No one knew when Sister Lan had walked over, and what she sullenly said made the hearts of Ye Huan, Ye Le, and Pan Xiangyun sink so low, but Ding Ning looked at Sister Lan with an interesting complexion.

Jiang Yimeng, who had just gotten Ding Ning’s appreciation and repaired their relationship, was quite happy at this moment, but Sister Lan poured cold water on her, making her feel that she had been slapped in the face, which instantly burned. Then, she asked angrily, “Are you questioning my decision, Sister Lan?”

Sister Lan’s heart trembled. In the entertainment industry, most celebrities had to rely on the relationships of their agents to receive announcements and arrange schedules, and every one of their words or moves must be restrained by their agents, so that many celebrities were extremely in awe of their agents, forming a situation that masters were weak, but their servants were powerful.

But in front of her was no one else but Jiang Yimeng, who looked extremely delicate and cute, but was extremely strong-minded in her bones, in fact. Most importantly, she had a great background of being a superstar.

Her previous agent arranged a dinner and tricked her into sleeping with a powerful Childe in a local area. As a result, Jiang Yimeng noticed that something was wrong and dialed a number. After that, the agent was banned from the entertainment industry and withdrew from it, and his legs were also broken, so he would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

As for the Childe, he was castrated and became a “eunuch”, and his family power disappeared within half a month, becoming something only seen in the past.

As a top agent, Sister Lan was someone with an exceptionally excellent artifice, but she had no idea about Jiang Yimeng’s background and had not found who her backer was so far. Previously, she got the idea of trailing after her and asked someone to do it, but the person was tied up and locked in a little darkroom for a night, and the other party warned her not to be meddlesome; otherwise, she would not be so lucky next time, so that she did not dare to have crooked thoughts anymore.

Jiang Yimeng was the First Sister in Tiangong Entertainment, so as her agent, she had a high reputation and could get lots of profits. She usually fawned on Jiang Yimeng and spoiled her, so how could she dare to directly refute her under the eyes of the crowd?

She knew that she had offended Jiang Yimeng because of her improper talk in anxiety, so she explained hurriedly, “Yimeng, it’s not that I want to veto your decision, but that there is a reason.”

“A reason? What reason? Say it!” Jiang Yimeng forcefully suppressed her anger and asked coldly. “By relying on my connivance, Sister Lan has become bolder and bolder indeed. Ding Ning is a person that even Bai Qing has to try to win over. The so-called agent knows nothing and even dares to veto my decision. She really doesn’t know about the complexity of things.”

“Th-this…”

Sister Lan looked around and had an embarrassed expression, meaning, “There are many people here, and let’s talk in a quiet place.”

Unfortunately, Jiang Yimeng, who seemed not to know what she meant or just wanted to do Ding Ning a greater favor, said coldly, “There are no outsiders here. Just say it.”

It was fair to say that Jiang Yimeng performed quite nicely in handling this matter. After she said these words, Ye Huan, Ye Le, and Pan Xiangyun all had an expression of being moved, and even Teacher Chen, who had been silently listening beside them, felt honored.

Only Ding Ning looked indifferent, but he knew that Jiang Yimeng was working to make the relationship between her and him closer. No matter whether Bai Qing had asked her to do so or she herself was trying to curry favor on purpose, he had to admit that she had done him a favor.

“Say it here? It isn’t suitable, is it?”

Sister Lan had an irresolute complexion, but seeing that Jiang Yimeng was on the verge of getting angry with an ice-cold face, she had to grit her teeth and whisper in Jiang Yimeng’s ear.

As she whispered, Jiang Yimeng knitted her brows more and more tightly and looked more and more worried as if she had met some difficult problems.

Ye Huan, Ye Le, Teacher Chen, and Pan Xiangyun all became anxious and silently prayed that no mishaps should happen. This gave them so much mental torture.

Ding Ning had exceptionally sharp ears. Although Sister Lan said in a very low whisper, he still heard her words clearly.

Surely, it was very immoral to eavesdrop on others’ conversation, but this was related to the future of Ye Huan and Ye Le, so Ding Ning had to be a vile person for once. But the more he eavesdropped, the angrier he became.

In fact, this was not something complicated. In the entertainment industry, this kind of thing was common. Every year, numerous men and women wanted to have their day, amaze the world with a single brilliant feat, and become shining superstars.

The requirement of the entertainment industry was neither too high nor too low. If the youths had relationships, backers, and some ability in art, they could enter the industry very easily.

But only a few people were like that. For more groups of people who had no backers or powerful backgrounds but still wanted to rise to fame overnight, if they wanted to sign contracts with big entertainment companies and become contracted actors or actresses, they had to work harder, but even so, most of them still could not step over the threshold, unless they were lucky enough to encounter some predecessors who liked to promote newcomers.

But luck was something that was hard to predict. In the complicated environment of the entertainment industry, the struggle was quite fierce, and the predecessors who liked to promote the younger generation were not often seen.

Therefore, for more people, who wanted to enter the entertainment industry, become stars, and enjoy the life of being pursued and supported by numerous people, they had to sacrifice some things that some people took as treasures and some regarded as nothing important. This was the so-called hidden rule.

The Campus-star Competition was a program that was used to select newbies from the college students at school. Since this kind of contest was both entertaining and competitive, it was quite popular.

Through the program, TV stations could improve their ratings, entertainment companies could get newcomers who had potential, and advertising sponsors could exaggerate the popularity of their products. This was a move of achieving many goals with one stroke. That was why this program was held.

Besides, this was a good opportunity to reach a very high status in one step for those college students who were willing to enter the entertainment industry, so the Campus-star Competition was held once a year, and it was known as the fairest talent display platform.

Where there is sunlight, there is darkness; where there are profits, there are tricks. Although the initial auditions and preliminary competitions were relatively fair, those who were beautiful would have more chances to be selected, and the audience had no fair reason to show their disapproval. After all, the judges’ preference for the more beautiful competitors was an acceptable reason for the audience.

After the competition entered the semifinals, the black box operation would appear. Of course, this operation was not controlled by the competitors, but it was the choice of the organizers.

If no exceptions occurred, Ye Huan and Ye Le, Pan Xiangyun, and Lan Mengdie would be ranked the top three by default. At this time in the past years, the three entertainment companies would send people to negotiate with them, implying that if they wanted to get the top three ranks or sign contracts with the companies, they would have to pay some price.

But this year’s situation was very special. A big shot had told them through someone that he fancied the four girls. Although the three major entertainment companies were dissatisfied, they did not dare to disobey his order and could only swallow the insult—when the competition was over, they would have to send them to him and also sign contracts with them and recruit them into the company for training according to his arrangement.

As for who the big shot was, Zhou Fang and the other two program leaders were not clear and only knew that the messenger was a leader surnamed Sun with a strong voice from the superior department, and Old Dong of the company had specially called them to do everything as they were told.

In Shenzhou, only a few departments could control the lifeblood of entertainment companies. As an outsider of the industry, Ding Ning really did not know the identity of the leader surnamed Sun, but Jiang Yimeng, a first-class celebrity, naturally knew it.

This was the reason why Sister Lan dared to challenge Jiang Yimeng’s decision and did not want her to get involved.

After all, if she directly made the decision to sign contracts with Ye Huan, Ye Le and Pan Xiangyun, she would damage the relationships between the three major entertainment companies and also offend the leader surnamed Sun and the big shot covered by him.

She did not care about offending the three major entertainment companies and the leader surnamed Sun because Bai Qing’s identity and background were not ordinary. Even if a small problem occurred, she believed that he could deal with it, but she had to take the big shot covered by Leader Sun seriously. As for Bai Qing’s background, she was not clear, either and only knew that it was very strong and powerful.

But she did not know how strong and powerful it was or if it could match that of the big shot.

She clearly knew her position in Bai Qing’s heart: a canary he raised. If she brought Bai Qing great trouble, she would be discarded mercilessly at any time.

Therefore, she slightly regretted that she had acted a little recklessly just now. Before getting the details of the matter, she forcefully offered a helping hand only for the sake of doing Ding Ning a favor.

But now she had given her word and could not break her promise. If she did so, she would slap herself in the face, wouldn’t she?

Jiang Yimeng, who was always calm, fell into a dilemma this time and did not know how to deal with the situation. She wanted to call Bai Qing and ask him, but she was afraid of angering him.

If she did not call Bai Qing, she would not know what he thought. Although he usually valued Ding Ning very much and called him brother, if a big problem appeared, it was hard to tell if he was willing to handle it for Ding Ning.

Most of the children from the rich families took profits as their top priority and were unlikely to bring themselves trouble because of the so-called friendship, and she estimated that Bai Qing was no exception.

Seeing Jiang Yimeng’s hesitation, Ding Ning clearly knew what she thought and then said indifferently, “Girl Jiang, you are the superstar of the company, but you are not a decision-maker of the company. To be on the safe side, let me tell him the situation and avoid embarrassing you.”

After finishing speaking, he took out his mobile phone and called Bai Qing. “Second Brother, let me tell you something.”

“What a thoughtful guy!” Jiang Yimeng looked at Ding Ning with great gratitude.

She knew that he was trying to free her from the trouble, so he called Bai Qing directly, and then all her pressure was transferred to Bai Qing.

If the three major entertainment companies, the leader Surnamed Sun, or even that big shot wanted to find fault, they would go to Bai Qing, not her.
