Chapter 582 From Down-on-his-luck Assistant to Top Agent (38)

Although variety shows provide excellent exposure.

However, being under the camera 24/7 can magnify a person's strengths and weaknesses many times over.

Okay, even better.

Bad, and worse.

Jiang Huaizhi is gentle and patient. He puts in a lot of effort no matter what he does, and tries his best to help others while completing his own tasks.

However, Gu Xing was short-tempered, impatient, addicted to drinking, and never cared about the feelings of others. In just half a month, he lost everyone's support, and even his best friend left him.

So, not only did he alienate himself from his team on the show, but even more frighteningly, online, a large number of videos detailing his personality flaws were edited out and posted online.

At first, he had some die-hard fans who spoke up for him.

Gradually, netizens' anger and dissatisfaction overwhelmingly dominated the entire internet.

In an instant, Gu Xing was as if he had been completely dissected and exposed online.

He secretly drinks, he throws glasses in fits of rage, etc... These are fatal flaws in ordinary people, but they are magnified countless times on the internet.

A month later, the name Gu Xing was completely and utterly nailed to the pillar of shame.

Everyone hates him.

This level of online boycott manifests in Gu Xing's case as a loss of resources.

The dozen or so originally confirmed brand ambassadors have all been replaced.

This career crisis was something he had actually encountered in the past three years.

He even encountered more serious cases.

But unlike the past three years, this time, he has no one to back him up.

Agent Zhang has too many artists under her management. Although Gu Xing makes money, he is not the one she favors.

Although we did our PR efforts for him immediately, not all PR professionals are like Jin Shu.

The public relations team's efforts were like a small boat being swallowed by the sea, struggling for a bit before capsizing.

Gu Xing, who was on a boat, plunged heavily into the deep sea.

In the past, he would always be rescued by Jin Shu.

Therefore, he was not afraid, because someone would never let him drown.

But this time, he was almost drowning, and no one could save him.

In the second episode, Gu Xing's name was removed from the guest list.

While everyone else was renewing their contracts, Gu Xing sat alone outside, his face terribly gloomy.

He used to not care about these resources at all. He could postpone concerts to go drinking, skip signing contracts to go on vacation, and even smoke in public at fan meetings.

In the end, he was still able to stand steadily on the stage, enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.

But now, when he learned that he wasn't on the contract renewal list, he felt so upset that he could hardly breathe.

For the first time, he realized that he was really going to be finished this time.

In his eyes, Jin Shu, who could be replaced at any time, became the only person who could hold him back when he was once again teetering on the edge of a cliff.

After Jiang Huai got on the train, Gu Xing looked up at him, his eyes filled with hatred.

Jiang Huaizhi caught this hatred.

He opened the window, looked at Gu Xing, and a victor's smile appeared on his lips.

Jiang Huaizhi wasn't the type to kick someone when they're down, but he didn't care about Gu Xing at all.

The two men's gazes met and then parted.

Jiang Huai arrived at the company immediately, full of excitement.

As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted not by Jin Shu, but by three beautiful girls.

Half an hour later, Jiang Huaizhi sat on the sofa, looking alone at the person opposite him.

Jin Shu is holding a meeting with her new artists.

These three people are the girl group that has recently become incredibly popular.

Jiang Huaizhi looked down at his phone, scrolling through information about the girl group, and the atmosphere around him seemed even more oppressive.

He had only been gone for a month.

The company not only got a new employee, but the key point is that this new employee's performance was even better than his!

He initially had a slight desire to take credit, but that desire vanished completely after seeing the group's fan base and the amount of buzz surrounding them.

The meeting ended, and Jin Shu waved to Jiang Huaizhi.

"Have you eaten? If not, let's go together."

Jin Shu used a meal to bring the four of them together at a table. After introducing them to each other, Jin Shu tapped on the table.

"The next singer selection is about to begin, Jiang Huaizhi, you should prepare your competition song."

As for the three of you, you should also participate.

Don't feel pressured, just do your best.

After dinner, Jiang Huaizhi invited Jin Shu to listen to his new song.

In the recording studio, the man's voice was gentle and deep. A simple and soft melody, yet it calmed the listener and soothed their mind.

"This is a song I wrote when I participated in a variety show. It reminded me of life in the countryside and my grandmother."

What do you think?

Jin Shu nodded.

"It sounds beautiful and soothing."

"It seems like people these days don't really like this kind of song."

“It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s that I don’t have it. Jiang Huaizhi, you’re a genius, you don’t need to doubt that.”

These words echoed in Jiang Huaizhi's ears again and again. It was just a simple sentence, and even Jiang Huaizhi himself never imagined that when he was old and gray, he would remember it and be able to help but smile.

Before parting, Jiang Huaizhi looked at Jin Shu and said with utmost seriousness, even reverence.

"I won't let you down. Please, no matter what, never give up on me."

Jiang Huaizhi's insecurity stems from an unhappy childhood and a period of uncertainty in his youth.

Jin Shu understood him, so she knew what his words meant at that moment.

"Jiang Huaizhi, you will be my biggest trump card."

One simple sentence is enough.

That's enough for Jiang Huaizhi to fight for his entire life at all costs.

Jin Shu was extremely busy for the next few hours.

The group's singles, Jiang Huaizhi's singles, press conferences, variety show auditions, etc...

After several incredibly fulfilling months, Jin Shu saw Gu Xing again at the singer selection competition.

This time, Zhao Yiran stood openly beside him.

Indeed, as Gu Xing's reputation continued to plummet, Sister Zhang no longer had time to spare for an artist embroiled in scandals.

At this moment, Gu Xing was like a chicken rib—tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.

So, Sister Zhang gave him one last chance and used her connections to secure him a spot in the singer competition.

At this time, Zhao Yiran managed to secure the position of Gu Xing's agent.

Sister Zhang really didn't have time to take care of Gu Xing, so she simply gave Gu Xing to Zhao Yiran.

Gu Xing was a hot potato, but Zhao Yiran felt that Gu Xing was a talented horse and she was the discerning judge of talent, so she confidently took over all of Gu Xing's work.

This singing competition is undoubtedly Gu Xing's biggest chance to turn his career around.

Having witnessed Gu Xing's singing skills, Zhao Yiran was certain that Gu Xing could turn the tide this time.
