Looking at the comments under Li Yuxiang's Weibo post, after several days of clarification, the original negative comments had been pushed to the bottom, and the current top comment was:
"The person who maliciously framed others, come out here and apologize! Jiang Yixing was clearly being so serious!"
One after another followed:
"I knew Jiang Yixing was framed!"
"I'm a fan now! I'm a fan now!"
"You're so incredibly cool!!!! I love you so much!"
Li Yuxiang frowned; this was completely different from what she had imagined.
Li Shuang took back her phone and said irritably, "All the lessons I taught you before were for nothing! Who taught you to resort to underhanded tactics when you're outmatched?"
Li Yuxiang looked grim, but she couldn't argue with Li Shuang now. As a top agent with so many years of experience, Li Shuang must have a way to handle her affairs afterward.
Li Yuxiang lowered her eyes, her voice weak, with a hint of a sob in it, "Sister Shuang, I'm sorry..."
Li Shuang temporarily suppressed her urge to curse, and since she was crying, she should know she made a mistake, right?
Li Shuang truly intended to cultivate Li Yuxiang into a top star. She has wasted so much time and effort on Li Yuxiang, and now she can't just stand by and watch Li Yuxiang fall into a predicament.
"From now on, whatever you do, you must tell me first. Don't make decisions on your own."
Li Yuxiang nodded and gave a soft "hmm".
"Alright, alright, stop making that mournful face."
Li Shuang continued, "I asked an acquaintance in the industry to help me investigate. I know Zhang Meng well; with his qualifications, it's unlikely he could find out about these things."
Li Yuxiang then raised her head, her eyes filled with tears. She knew Zhang Meng; he was Jiang Yixing's agent, but a down-on-his-luck agent who hadn't amounted to much in the past few years.
"Thank you, Sister Shuang..."
Looking at Li Yuxiang's teary eyes, Li Shuang felt a surge of anger. How could such a good child have done something wrong?
"You wouldn't have done this before, how come you've been so blinded by greed this time?"
Tears welled in Li Yuxiang's eyes, threatening to spill over. "I...I just want a fair outcome..."
Li Shuang frowned. What did Li Yuxiang mean by that?
"Don't overthink it. He Mang's casting choices have always been fair and just. Don't get hung up on it."
Li Yuxiang looked up, her eyes conveying a convincing mix of anger and grievance. "But... Jiang Yixing got in through connections."
Li Shuang looked at Li Yuxiang, whose face showed a mixture of resentment and sadness. "What do you mean?"
“During the audition, He Mang gave Jiang Yixing special treatment. I found it strange afterwards, since I performed better, so why did Jiang Yixing get the spot? I went to investigate.”
Li Yuxiang paused at the opportune moment, and Li Shuang asked, "And the result?"
"They were college classmates and used to be boyfriend and girlfriend."
Li Shuang choked for a moment, "But that doesn't prove anything."
Li Yuxiang lowered her eyes. Was Li Shuang stupid? Who cares if it's true or false? Just throw mud at her. Does she think she can play the "you're good, I'm good, everyone's good" game at a time like this?
Li Yuxiang continued, "Jiang Yixing did not perform well during her audition, and she was a newcomer with no previous works, yet she was able to break through the competition."
Li Shuang happened to look up, her face full of confidence and determination, "I don't believe there was no foul play in my loss to her."
Li Shuang rubbed her forehead in exasperation. Li Yuxiang had had a smooth career since her debut, so it was normal for her to feel upset after encountering such a setback.
It's really hard to say what the relationship is between He Mang and Jiang Yixing.
"You shouldn't overthink it. Just focus on preparing for your next film."
Having navigated the entertainment industry for so many years, Li Shuang understands the principle that it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy. As long as Jiang Yixing hasn't completely broken ties with him, there's no need to go to extremes.
"Sister Shuang," Li Yuxiang cried, her voice hoarse, "they've already included my name on Weibo. Am I just supposed to let them insult me like this?"
Li Yuxiang's tears had already fallen. "Sister, I trust and admire you the most. I didn't dare to tell you about the mistake I made this time, because I was afraid of ruining my image in your heart."
Li Shuang was also saddened to hear this. Although she has a cold and decisive personality, she still cares about her artists deep down.
Thinking back to the obedient and sensible Li Yuxiang in the past, Li Shuang felt sorry for her.
After pondering for a few seconds, Li Shuang finally made up her mind, "Send me a copy of the information you found."
