TPH Chapter 10.2

The Protagonist’s Halo [Arc 1] Chapter 10.2: Entertainment Circle Vase (14)

The news of Su Man’s termination of the contract with the agency quickly spread in the industry. As expected, Yang Jing was scolded. Even her aunt did not protect her, which made her hate Su Man even more.

However, terminating the contract is not such a simple matter. Even the company’s boss, Mr. Chen, doesn’t want to let her go so easily. Xiao Han hired a lawyer and sent a lawyer’s letter to the company.

With two major events in a row, her popularity is quite high.

During this period, she did receive quite a few phone calls, such as from Director Zhang, who first gave some words of comfort and encouragement, and then began to promote his new company, which was also opened by his friends in the circle. He even had shares in the company. When he heard that Su Man had terminated the contract, he rushed over immediately. He knew that Su Man was not an ordinary good seedling, and it was no exaggeration to say that she was born for acting.

“Thank you, Director Zhang. I’ll think about it carefully.” Xiao Han was not in a hurry to agree to it. Instead, she just ate, drank, and had fun.

Anyway, I don’t have to manage my body shape for filming for the time being.

…

Ji Yanhuai also heard about Su Man’s termination, and asked his agent Zhou Zhuo.

Zhou Zhuo didn’t expect that Ji Yanhuai would still pay attention to Su Man’s affairs. He didn’t plan to tell Ji Yanhuai at first. You know, after the breakup Weibo was posted, Ji Yanhuai gained a wave of new fans.

Ji Yanhuai frowned slightly, “Has she found a new employer?”

Zhou Zhuo sneered, “I haven’t heard any such rumors. It seems like she paid for the termination of the contract out of her own pocket.”

He had never seen such a fool. She is stubborn with the company before she has found a new employer. She will be the only one who suffers. In the matter of contract termination, the company is using tricks to delay it for a year or two, which is actually equivalent to hiding her. How many people in the entertainment industry will remember her by then? He thought Su Man’s acting skills were perfect, but she is just asking for trouble.

Ji Yanhuai suddenly asked, “Ask what the situation is?”

“You don’t want to help her, do you?” Zhou Zhuo asked in shock and suspicion.

Ji Yanhuai pursed his lips and said, “How about letting her come to Tianhuang Entertainment?”

Manager Zhou Zhuo was really shocked and reacted strongly, “I don’t agree. You just announced the breakup with her. If she signs with Tianhuang now, I don’t know how people outside will interpret it.”

He had just been happy for two days because Ji Yanhuai gained a wave of new fans after the announcement of their breakup. The last thing he wanted to hear was the name of this woman, Su Man, and it was even more impossible for him to allow Ji Yanhuai to be in the same company with her.

Zhou Zhuo advised earnestly that all he said was for Ji Yanhuai’s own good.

What worried him even more was, “Ji Yanhuai, you don’t still have feelings for her, do you?”

Ji Yanhuai was silent for a moment. His family urged him to end his career in the entertainment industry and go home for a blind date. He happened to meet Su Man’s confession, so he agreed without hesitation. At least he could satisfy his family by having a girlfriend. But he didn’t expect Su Man to change too quickly and break up with him. He felt a little disappointed.

Zhou Zhuo was still waiting for his answer, but Ji Yanhuai shook his head and said calmly, “Her acting skills are very good now. It would be a pity for her to continue to stay in that company or be hidden.”

Manager Zhou Zhuo strongly objected, “That won’t work either. You just broke up with her. If you bring her to the company or let people know that you are helping her, I don’t know how many rumors will arise.”

What he didn’t want to see even more was Ji Yanhuai and Su Man getting entangled.

Ji Yanhuai remained silent, but what he was thinking about was Su Man’s last scene.

Xiao Han and her assistant Xiao Xia were browsing in a tropical fish store. Xiao Han, who still had some celebrity consciousness, also wore a black baseball cap and a mask. Xiao Han had her house sold and rented a new place, thinking of buying more things to liven up the place, but she didn’t have time to keep a pet, so she thought of keeping a fish in a tank.

Xiao Han, who was picking up her new pet, was pulled on the sleeve by Xiao Xia, “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Xia whispered, “Sister Su Man, it was Teacher Ji who called personally.”

Xiao Han changed the card in her mobile phone, and not many people knew about it, so the call naturally went to her assistant Xiao Xia.

“Didn’t I tell you not to answer it?”

Xiao Han had already told Xiao Xia a blacklist, and she didn’t need to pay any attention to the people on it, such as Yang Jing, Ji Yanhuai and his agent Zhou Zhuo.

Everyone thought Su Man was caught up in the contract termination storm and was in trouble, but in fact she was on a quiet and leisurely vacation.

“But Teacher Ji said it’s very important and it’s related to your future, Sister Su Man.” Xiao Xia didn’t dare to hang up casually.

“Give it to me, then.”

Xiao Han looked at the clownfish swimming inside through the blue glass. She took the phone from Xiao Xia and put it to her ear. She only heard a condescending and cold voice, “Come to the 23rd floor of Tianhuang at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning.”

It doesn’t sound like asking for opinions, but more like giving orders.

Tianhuang is the agency that Ji Yanhuai works for. It is also an entertainment giant in the circle. It has cultivated several generations of superstars and its reputation is not small.

“Oh.” Xiao Han said slowly.

The refusal was decisive and straightforward, “No.” She would buy some food to fill the refrigerator in her new house tomorrow.

Ji Yanhuai’s voice became even colder. “Aren’t you going to terminate your contract with your previous company? There are things that only Tianhuang can give you. Since you have such good acting skills, you shouldn’t waste them by taking random roles just for fame and fortune.”

He was referring to the dramas that Su Man had filmed in the past which he disliked.

Xiao Han simply replied, “What does it have to do with you?”

“I’m not interested in Tianhuang.” She hung up the phone directly. Since the rotten peach blossom has been cut down, there is no need to let it revive. And Xiao Han really hates Ji Yanhuai’s attitude. Filming for fame and fortune? Thinking of her past life as a superstar, didn’t her so-called good mother wantonly destroy the original owner for fame and fortune?

Of course, it might be difficult for a gifted person like Ji Yanhuai to understand.

“Sister Su Man, is this really okay?” Xiao Xia felt dizzy. She was close to Xiao Han, and Xiao Han had no intention of blocking her, so she heard everything. The invitation came from Ji Yanhuai, and it was from the famous Tianhuang.

“I don’t ask anything of him.” She could stand up straight. Whether it was charity, compensation, or a sincere invitation, it had nothing to do with her.

To be honest, the contrast is really big. Having seen how humble and affectionate she was in the past, Xiao Xia didn’t expect that Sister Su Man would be so heartless after the breakup.

Xiao Han pointed at a blue clownfish in the glass tank and said with a satisfied smile, “Let’s take this one.”
