Fan Wenfeng, on the other end of the walkie-talkie receiving channel, looked completely bewildered.

Why did they suddenly ask him to investigate Jiayi's matter again?

Didn't we just say that we shouldn't worry about her and that the important thing is to get the event going?

Lin Xiaorou smiled smugly and said in a slightly teasing tone, "Thank you for your hard work, Director Fan."

Fan Qingche forced a smile and finally turned his gaze to Lin Xiaorou.

"Not at all, it was our production team's oversight. I think it's really unnecessary for President Gu to personally send someone to investigate this kind of thing."

"Mr. Lin, could you please help us secure an opportunity to conduct our investigation? That would be much better than troubling Mr. Gu's people to make the trip."

Lin Xiaorou pretended to be troubled, "This... it's not so easy to persuade President Gu to back down, unless Jiayi speaks up herself."

Fan Qingche was a shrewd person; he instantly understood that Lin Xiaorou's words implied he needed to offer some benefits. He simply said...

"Oh right, I'm starting filming my new variety show in a few days, and I'm planning to invite Jiayi to be a regular guest. I wonder if Jiayi would be willing to take on this role?"

Lin Xiaorou raised an eyebrow and sneered. To deal with this kind of bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong, you have to bring out the big boss.

"Hey, Mo Xing, I remember Jia Yi's schedule seems pretty full lately. Do you think she has time to take on Director Fan's variety show?"

Fan Qingche's face was now ashen.

Everyone knows that Fan Qingche is a famous director in the industry. If he claims to be second, who would dare to claim to be first?

Could Ming Jiayi really turn down variety shows to take on meaningless commercials or obscure works by unknown directors?

Lin Xiaorou clearly wanted to get revenge for what she had just done.

Mo Xing glanced at Lin Xiaorou, then at Fan Qingche.

She felt the office was filled with the smell of gas, as if she could blow it up if she spoke.

But there are some things she still needs to say...

"Um, Director Fan, I'm really sorry. I remember your variety show is scheduled to start filming in five days, right?"

I recently arranged for Jiayi to participate in a variety show, which starts filming in five days, so I'm afraid I really can't accept your invitation due to scheduling conflicts.

Lin Xiaorou covered her mouth with her hand and smiled, her eyes filled with mockery.

If Fan Qingche hadn't been there, she would have liked to praise Mo Xing for doing a great job.

Fan Qingche looked like he'd fallen into a cesspool, his face both sour and hard. "Whose variety show did you accept? Did you sign a contract?"

Mo Xing lowered her head guiltily, her gaze fixed on her shoes. She answered in a very low voice, "I signed an electronic contract, and it's for... Director Chen Jing..."

"Chen Jing?"

Fan Qingche gave a cold laugh.

He thought Ming Jiayi had taken on a role in a film by some great director, but it turns out she had only taken on a variety show directed by this young man who had just graduated from university a few years ago.

With Chen Jing's terrible script, he couldn't even find an investor. Only this inexperienced agent would dare to accept the role for his artist.

The smile in Lin Xiaorou's eyes vanished, and she became somewhat uneasy.

Tonight, Ming Jiayi gained millions of new fans. There must have been quite a few producers and directors at the event who offered her opportunities.

As a result, Mo Xing got Ming Jiayi a variety show produced by such a young upstart?

Fan Qingche feigned a regretful expression, but his words were laced with deep sarcasm.

"Oh dear, that's a real pity. It seems Jiayi and I aren't destined to work together. Well then, I wish Jiayi's new variety show a huge success!"

After saying this, Fan Qingche shrugged indifferently. He had already offered the benefits, and it was Ming Jiayi who gave them up.

Lin Xiaorou had no reason to say anything to him, and she had to help him persuade Gu Shaojin to leave. Otherwise, if Lin Xiaorou offended him, their Joyful Entertainment would no longer be able to get any good resources in the industry.

Lin Xiaorou's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

The claim that Gu Shaojin was going to send someone to inspect the event was a lie to Fan Qingche.

Now that Fan Qingche has extended an olive branch, Jiayi is genuinely unavailable.

And it was all because he took on a lousy little variety show with some young upstart?

...

Lin Xiaorou sat angrily in the driver's seat, arms crossed, staring vehemently at the roadside window, her words utterly merciless.

"Mo Xing, what were you thinking? How could you let Jia Yi join Chen Jing's variety show? Are you crazy?"

"No one else contacted Jiayi tonight, right? Or did you just say yes because Chen Jing is handsome?"

Mo Xing sat in the passenger seat, her head bowed low, and only managed a hesitant, timid reply.

"No, it's because Director Chen is very sincere... This isn't the first time he's approached me, and I've discussed this with Jiayi. I only accepted the job because she thought it was a good idea."

"What can I say to you?" Lin Xiaorou sighed in frustration. "You really aren't suited to be an agent, you know that? You should be accepting roles based on Jiayi's actual situation, how can you agree to something just because someone is sincere?"

“But…” Mo Xing pouted, looking aggrieved, and didn’t dare to continue arguing.

Lin Xiaorou glanced at Mo Xing out of the corner of her eye and said indifferently,

"What do you mean, 'what if'? How about this, you just need to be Jiayi's assistant from now on. I'll take over Jiayi's position as her manager. I'll talk to her about it when I get back tonight."

Mo Xing suddenly looked up at Lin Xiaorou, her face flushed with excitement. "Why?"

Lin Xiaorou kept a straight face and asked calmly, "Why do you think that is? Jiayi is now our top artist at Joyful Entertainment. I can't let you ruin her."

Mo Xing felt somewhat unconvinced. She didn't think Chen Jing's variety show was bad, and she heard her retort,

"But Jiayi also said that Director Chen Jing's variety show was very suitable for her. President Lin, you can't just jump to conclusions and think I'll ruin Jiayi..."

Lin Xiaorou gently pressed her right hand against her upper left abdomen, and she replied with a hint of helplessness.

"Jiayi is the eldest daughter of the Ming family. Even if she doesn't work, she can live a life of plenty. So if you let her take on variety shows, she will naturally take on whatever she feels is right for her."

But we at Joyful Entertainment still need her. What we need to do is not just cater to her wishes, but also ensure that every step she takes in the entertainment industry is without problems.

Do you know what I mean?

Mo Xing nodded perfunctorily, not wanting to say anything more.

Lin Xiaorou is the boss, and since the boss has already made the decision, what more can she say?

Even if I say it, it's useless...
