This time, it took more than ten minutes for the agent to call back, and he wasn't as arrogant as before.

“Bai Xi, this matter is very serious, and you can’t act recklessly. If you let things continue like this, your career will be ruined. I held a press conference to make you apologize, but that was just to appease those people. Once the hype dies down, I’ll ask a PR team to handle things for you, and then this matter will be over.”

"No need, I don't care," Bai Xi said.

"Bai Xi! Aren't you afraid the company will fire you for being so willful?"

Bai Xi shrugged. "Sure, I'm not going to do this anymore anyway. I can just quit the industry."

She's not the original owner of this body, so how could she be a star or act in any dramas?

Moreover, the original owner only signed a five-year contract with Dagua Entertainment, which is about to expire.

"What?" The agent thought he had misheard.

No profession is more lucrative than being a celebrity. Once a minor celebrity finds an opportunity, they will not let go of any chance to become famous, even if it means being criticized.

Being famous even when you're in the spotlight is still being famous. As long as you have buzz, once the negative press dies down, that's when you start making money.

"Bai Xi, I'm not joking with you right now!" the manager snapped.

"I'm not joking. I've made up my mind. Since the haters can't tolerate me, I'm leaving the entertainment industry," Bai Xi said, offering a reason.

Seeing that she was serious, the agent asked incredulously, "Are you serious?"

"Um."

"If you leave the entertainment industry, how will you make a living? You should know that you are already struggling to survive."

The agent knew she lived in a small bungalow and was so poor that she only had a few hundred yuan left.

Bai Xi smiled gently, "Fortune telling."

"Huh?" The agent thought he had misheard.

"You heard me right, it's fortune telling."

The agent calmed down and asked, "Even if you make money by fortune telling, how much can you possibly earn?"

Bai Xi: "You don't need to worry about that. Anyway, you'll earn just as much as a celebrity."

Seeing her confident demeanor, her agent couldn't help but suspect that she had really damaged her brain.

"Okay! Don't come crying to me then!"

He felt like he'd gone mad today, having put up with her for so long.

To avoid her hanging up on him prematurely again, he quickly hung up the phone this time.

Bai Xi heard the beep and chuckled.

Lin Xinxi looked at her and said, "Bai Xi, are you really going to make money by fortune telling?"

Bai Xi laughed and said, "This is what I've always done, why wouldn't I?"

Lin Xinxi: "Are you a fortune teller?"

Bai Xi: "Well, to be precise, I am a Taoist priest."

Lin Xinxi looked at her with surprise and admiration. Although she had only spent a few hours with her, she was already captivated by her personal charm.

Her manager was such a fierce person that she never dared to speak loudly in front of him before, and she could only silently endure being scolded without daring to fight back.

However, Bai Xi made her agent suffer setbacks time and time again today, and thinking about it made her feel inexplicably satisfied.

A few days later.

The agent didn't receive a call from Bai Xi offering a compromise, and he was anxious and angry.

Bai Xi is an artist he has been managing for a long time, and he has put a lot of effort into her.

He didn't want to give up this money-making tool; being infamous is still being famous, and if the public relations were handled well, she still had a chance to turn things around.

But she remained holed up in her little house and refused to go out, her attitude was very stubborn, and she wouldn't even answer his calls.

The higher-ups also gave him an ultimatum: if she refused to apologize, they would terminate the contract.

A few days later, Bai Xi posted a message on Weibo announcing her retirement from the entertainment industry.

Meanwhile, Dagua Entertainment, the company Bai Xi was signed to, also released a notice on its official Weibo account announcing the termination of its contract with Bai Xi.

[Great, I won't have to see that disgusting face of her anymore.]

My beloved Jiang Gu is finally free! He no longer has to be bothered by that shameless Bai Xi.

She has no acting skills, no intelligence, what does she have besides her face?

I think her face is definitely the result of plastic surgery; it's obviously not natural.

[Big Melon Entertainment made a wise choice; terminating their contract with such a disgraced artist early on prevented them from getting into a mess.]

Disgraced celebrities should be banned so they never have a chance to make a comeback.

Didn't she already announce her retirement from the entertainment industry?

[You actually believe that? She hasn't made enough money yet! Just you wait, she'll be back soon.]

[No way! Those disgraced celebrities should get out of here right now! Let's give the internet a clean and peaceful place.]

Bai Xi scoffed when she saw the announcement from Da Gua Entertainment.

Even though her contract was about to expire, it's now being portrayed as Da Gua Entertainment abandoning her.

Bai Xi still remembers the last thing her agent said to threaten her on the phone.

"Bai Xi, just wait for Jiang Gu to continue his revenge. Don't think that he will let you off the hook just because you've left the entertainment industry. Without the company's protection, your fate will only be worse!"

Bai Xi didn't take it seriously. "Is that so? Then just wait and see who kills whom first!"

The agent was shocked. He felt that Bai Xi was no longer the Bai Xi he used to be, and was no longer under his control. He hurriedly hung up the phone in a panic.

Hearing Bai Xi's words, Lin Xinxi looked at her with admiration and said, "Bai Xi, you are my goddess!"

Just then, Bai Xi's stomach started rumbling.

Bai Xi took out her phone and found that she only had two hundred yuan left in her card.

"So poor?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xinxi's face instantly turned red. "I'm...sorry."

Bai Xi looked at her in confusion, "Didn't your agent say that being a celebrity is very lucrative? You've been a celebrity for five years, how come you're still so poor?"

Lin Xinxi blushed even more and stammered, "I made a lot of money the year before last, but ever since I unfortunately got involved with Jiang Gu, I've been constantly targeted by slander, and all my money has been used to buy publicity to clear my name."

Bai Xi, "..."

"Your company is really stingy, you even have to pay for your own public relations. Luckily you only signed a five-year contract."

Lin Xinxi nodded, "Yes, that's right." Otherwise, she would continue to be exploited by the company.

Dagua Entertainment is a small to medium-sized company, and in recent years, it's the only one that has become popular.

If she hadn't made the wise choice back then to sign only a five-year contract, and now has a whole host of scandals, Big Melon Entertainment wouldn't have let her off so easily.

Bai Xi rested her hands on the headboard and glanced around the dilapidated little house.

Her immediate priority was to make money. Having grown accustomed to living in a beautiful, large house, she couldn't get used to this dilapidated little house.

Three days later.

A Weibo post suddenly announced that Bai Xi, who is universally disliked online, has actually gone live to tell fortunes?

Everyone: ? ? ?

Is it because they can't make money in the entertainment industry anymore, so they've started to try and make money in the online influencer world?
