Chapter 546 The Down-on-His-Luck Assistant Becomes the Strongest Manager (2)

Gu Xing glanced at the cup, but since he was in a hurry, he didn't say anything. He took the cup and strode into the recording studio.

As an assistant, Jin Shu followed the staff's directions into a lounge specially prepared for celebrity assistants.

When she went in, there were already several people sitting inside.

Jin Shu found a quiet corner to sit down, then took out paper and pen from her pocket and began to write something down carefully.

"What kind of things are you remembering?"

A chubby female assistant, acting all familiar, peeked over to look at the contents of Jin Shu's notebook, and the first line she saw stunned her.

"Gu Xing's Feeding Guide?"

The female assistant looked at Jin Shu in disbelief, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"This is hilarious, what kind of pet care guide is this?"

Jin Shu silently closed the notebook.

"It's just a work habit of mine, nothing worth sharing."

"Weren't you following behind Wang Diying before? Why is it Gu Xing now?"

The assistants share the most gossip and the most exciting stories. Outside is the artists' world, while inside the small room is the assistants' little world.

Here, people will tacitly share some harmless little things about celebrities.

So when everyone looked at Jin Shu, they obviously thought she was about to reveal something.

Unfortunately, Jin Shu didn't seem to have much desire to share.

"My contract expired, so I left. There's no story behind it."

"Hey, Gu Xinghao, he's young and handsome, and has a lot of fans. He's sure to get a lot of things."

Externally, the assistant's salary is 3,800.

But the hidden benefits they receive internally are plentiful.

Everyone accepted this unwritten rule, so when Jin Shu said she hadn't accepted anything, the other assistants just assumed she was lying because she was tight-lipped.

"Never mind, never mind."

Jin Shu is uninteresting, a dullard. She does have some skills in taking care of people, but she doesn't know how to flatter or fawn. She has no great potential and can only follow behind Gu Xing, a third-rate artist with a tarnished reputation, to make a living.

People started talking about other things.

Although Jin Shu doesn't share her own stories, she's happy to listen to the stories told by others.

This will be very helpful for her future work.

Why not cultivate good relationships with these assistants? Because Jin Shu could tell at a glance that each of them was a shrewd and calculating person.

It's quite a coincidence that I'm in the same room as so many shrewd assistants.

Jin Shu knew that even if she exposed the truth, she would not be able to integrate into these people's circle.

Therefore, the safest approach is to remain quiet and avoid provoking others.

During the time when she doesn't need to take care of Gu Xing, Jin Shu will plan out everything that needs to be done next.

They can be roughly divided into three categories.

Something that definitely needs to be done.

Things that may need to be done.

And things that are definitely not allowed.

She is extremely serious and professional in her work, which makes others laugh.

"She's just an assistant, but she really thinks she's an agent."

Jin Shu could hear the whispers, but she didn't care.

The memories in her mind were still somewhat hazy, but not long ago she seemed to suddenly see the rest of her life.

After graduation, she became a celebrity assistant on the recommendation of her good friend Zhao Yiran.

Because she used to be a fan of celebrities, her favorite idol was a male artist named Kaili.

However, later, her good friend Zhao Yiran became Kaili's assistant, while she was persuaded to become Gu Xing's assistant.

During that period, Jin Shu perfectly exemplified what it means to be physically in Cao Cao's camp but mentally in Han's.

Although he was following behind Gu Xing, both his computer screensaver and social media profile picture were of Kaili.

Gu Xing is a boss with a bad temper, willful and absurd, but because of his perfect face and a great voice, he can still thrive in this industry despite the scandals that break out from time to time.

Jin Shu used to dislike him because he would always complain of stomach pain in the middle of the night, making her run from one end of the city to the other to buy him his favorite chestnut pastry.

Jin Shu likes Kaili because he is serious and dedicated. Although his singing and dancing are not as good as Gu Xing's, and his appearance is more rugged and tough than Gu Xing's, he is not as refined.

But he was hardworking and diligent enough that he finally gained a place in the entertainment industry through his hard work.

However, hard work, a noble virtue, is the least valuable thing in the entertainment industry.

Despite Gu Xing's superior sense of style, Kaili was repeatedly rejected by brands.

Just as he lost to Gu Xing once again, Zhao Yiran found Jin Shu, and surprisingly, Kai Li himself came with her.

When Jin Shu saw Kaili helplessly crying in front of her, she made a wrong decision.

She secretly took a picture of Gu Xing sleeping and sent it to Zhao Yiran.

Shortly afterward, a woman claiming to be Gu Xing's girlfriend outside the entertainment industry came forward with allegations that Gu Xing cheated on her, committed domestic violence, and lived off her, causing her to miscarry, become depressed, and attempt suicide.

The above dozen or so words, any two of which together can completely ruin an artist's reputation.

Amid public skepticism, the whistleblower released several "bedroom photos."

Gu Xing was fast asleep in the photo, lying on the bed with his upper body bare. Anyone who saw it would inevitably have all sorts of wild thoughts.

The whistleblower also released chat logs, screenshots of experts, a hospital abortion certificate, and a recording belonging to Gu Xing.

So much "ironclad evidence" quickly spread across the internet.

Gu Xing's reputation was completely ruined.

His endorsement contract has been terminated.

The program that invited him cut out his photo.

Various variety shows and film and television offers have been avoiding him.

Jin Shu never expected that just a few photos, a recording of Gu Xing practicing his script, and a long forged chat log could ruin a person so completely.

She frantically went to find Zhao Yiran, but by then Zhao Yiran was already Kaili's agent.

She was so busy that she simply didn't have time to deal with Jin Shu.

In the end, Gu Xing became Zhao Yiran's artist.

As an all-around agent, Zhao Yiran single-handedly helped Gu Xing clear up the scandal from back then.

The culprit was Jin Shu, Gu Xing's assistant.

The motive for the crime was that Jin Shu had a crush on Gu Xing but it didn't work out, so she decided to destroy him.

It contains photos and chat logs.

Thus, Jin Shu was sued for defamation and was sentenced to the maximum penalty of seven years in prison.

Gu Xing became Zhao Yiran's most obedient artist. Having missed his prime, he could only follow Zhao Yiran's orders and take on some insignificant jobs.

To outsiders, the final outcome was gratifying.

The innocent were exonerated, the perpetrators were punished, and those who punished evil and promoted good became famous.

It all feels like a dream.

After waking up from her dream, Jin Shu's mind became incredibly clear.
