"Please come in." Ran Jie had set aside an hour specifically to wait for him.
"Since Brother Ran Jie is waiting for me here, he must know why I've come."
"Don't panic. Have a cup of coffee to perk yourself up. It seems you didn't get much rest last night because you were worried about Han Mingyi."
Ran Jie handed the freshly brewed coffee to Han Mingyi's agent.
"Thanks."
Ran Jie's statement is indeed true. These people didn't sleep all night yesterday, and no amount of emergency public relations could stop netizens' gossipy hearts.
Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.
It happened in a live stream with so many people watching, so they couldn't hide it no matter what they tried.
The agent first apologized to Ran Jie, "Brother Ran Jie, our artist came uninvited yesterday and disrupted your plans. We apologize to you."
"No, no, no, you don't need to apologize for this." Ran Jie refused to accept it at all.
"Han Mingyi's initial addition made the live broadcast more exciting and created buzz for two of my company's artists. I was overjoyed."
After being cornered by Ran Jie, the agent didn't know what to say.
"Alright, I don't have much time. Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush." He still had a lot of things to deal with.
“Brother Ran Jie, Mingyi was in the wrong yesterday. It’s also our fault for not noticing and stopping her in time. Please stop for now and let Mingyi go, as it hasn’t caused any harm to Ruoxi and Ziyu.”
Ran Jie laughed after hearing this, thinking that Han Mingyi's agent wanted his help, but it turned out that she wanted him to be lenient.
"What, do you think I orchestrated those things online?"
Han Mingyi's agent remained silent; that was indeed what he thought.
Everyone says Ran Jie is not someone to mess with. Yesterday, Han Mingyi blatantly tried to scheme right under his nose. In the end, Jian Ruoxi was unharmed, but Han Mingyi suffered the consequences.
It's clear that Ran Jie wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
"I didn't do this, you've got the wrong person." Ran Jie had indeed planned to teach Han Mingyi a lesson today.
When he arrived at Huarui this morning, he found that gossip about Han Mingyi was already flying all over the internet.
"What, not you?" the agent asked, somewhat incredulous.
After thinking it over, he concluded that Ran Jie was the most likely candidate.
Seeing the distrustful look on his agent's face, Ran Jie knew what he was thinking.
“I, Ran Jie, have always said what I mean. If I really did it, what can’t I say? Anyway, there’s nothing you can do to me.”
"But I really didn't do it."
The agent agreed with Ran Jie, saying that Ran Jie was indeed that kind of person.
"Could you do us a favor?"
He was stopped by Ran Jie as soon as he finished speaking.
"You should be glad I didn't press my advantage, otherwise, Han Mingyi might not have been able to recover for a long time."
"The reason I met with you today is purely to warn you to keep a close eye on your artists. If they target my people again, I will not let them off easily."
The agent couldn't help but shudder. He had long heard that Ran Jie was extremely protective of his own artists, and that he protected them very well. But today he truly witnessed it firsthand.
"Yes, I've got it."
"I have other things to attend to, so goodbye."
Ran Jie reopened the webpage, and even after all morning, the trending topic about Han Mingyi still hadn't gone down.
"This must be Lu Jin's doing. This humiliation is really going to be a disaster for Han Mingyi."
It has to be said that Lu Shen is indeed quite ruthless.
They didn't completely block Han Mingyi's path, allowing her to continue in the entertainment industry.
As long as she continues to make a living from this job, this matter will always be brought up, which is indeed a considerable punishment.
The gossip about Han Mingyi is all about the same thing. Since Lu Shen is in charge, he doesn't need to worry about it. He just needs to seize the opportunity to manage the artists under his management.
He called his assistant and said, "Call the publicity manager in."
The publicity manager knew Ran Jie would assign him a task today, and had been waiting for it for a long time.
"Brother Ran Jie, is there anything we can do for you?"
Ran Jie listed his requirements one by one, "First of all, I want you to compile the highlights of yesterday's live broadcast as soon as possible and upload them online."
"Also, the TV series starring Ziyu and Ruoxi is currently airing, so we can create more interactions between the two of them."
The PR manager couldn't help but ask, "Ran Jie, are you trying to create a romantic pairing between them?"
They used to do this to promote both the drama and the artists at the same time.
Netizens are happy to see this, their artists get more exposure, and thus more resources.
"Not for now." Ran Jie didn't seem inclined to make such arrangements for Ruoxi so early.
Before pairing celebrities with a romantic partner, he would first observe the reactions of netizens. If netizens didn't feel anything for the pair, forcing it wouldn't work.
Not to mention that Jian Ruoxi also has Lu Shen behind her.
He, as their agent, still doesn't understand what their relationship is right now.
Let's wait until we're sure Ruoxi and Lu Shen really have no relationship before proceeding. After witnessing Lu Shen's methods, he was indeed somewhat afraid.
"You can post some highlights of their interactions, but don't try to guide the discussion too much."
"Yes." As the publicity director, he knew best how to strike the right balance.
"Oh, right, also cut out the part where Ruoxi talks to her fans on the phone."
The publicity manager thought he understood what Ran Jie meant.
He eagerly answered, "I understand, Ran Jie wants to promote the good relationship between Ruoxi and her fans, right?"
In fact, Ran Jie hadn't figured out how to promote this part at all. He just felt that if he only showed Ruoxi and Ziyu's interactions and not Lu Shen's, something might go wrong.
Since the publicity manager has already come up with a plan, it saves him the trouble of racking his brains.
"Okay, we'll do it your way."
Soon, many highlights of last night's live broadcast appeared online.
When people saw Jian Ruoxi in the live stream, they all exclaimed that she was just as good as she was in the drama, and that every move she made was elegant.
The edited clips of her interactions with Su Ziyu were well-received by many drama fans.
"My God, this must be a reincarnation story. My Emperor and Empress are a perfect match."
"They look so good together."
Soon, fans started shipping them online, strongly supporting the two of them.
Aside from Han Mingyi's accident, the live stream was generally very successful, and both Jian Ruoxi and Su Ziyu gained considerable exposure.
The number of fans for both of them increased by 100,000 overnight.
Ran Jie was very satisfied after seeing this data.
