There are only five top-tier female divas in China with both experience and talent.
Moreover, because the fans are all die-hard supporters.
As soon as Fu Shiyi released this news, many people speculated that Zhou Linna's agency was trying to expose someone else's scandal to shield their own artist.
As a result, everyone started keeping an eye on Zhou Linna's Weibo account and her agency's official Weibo account.
[I heard you guys have some juicy gossip, so go ahead and spill it.]
[We're not asking people to take the blame for you; if you're so capable, then push them out and show us.]
[Zhou Linna got herself into trouble and was criticized, so she tried to drag others down with her; her methods are really dirty.]
...
Unfortunately, Fu Shiqin's advance warning of this incident made Zhou Linna's company afraid to air the diva's scandal.
Moreover, Zhou Linna was criticized even more harshly.
The parties involved in the contracts with the company that had just accepted the offer have all cancelled their invitations.
Zhou Linna stormed to the company and confronted her agent and the artist director.
"What kind of work are you doing? You can't even handle this small thing properly. I've been scolded so much!"
The talent manager rolled his eyes speechlessly. "If you hadn't had that last-minute ulterior motive, would things have gotten this far?"
Before she tried to take advantage of Ling Jiao, she didn't consult them at all. Once the incident happened, she instigated her fans to attack Ling Jiao, and they could only go along with it and follow her script.
They had just secured the contract with Fei Li, but unexpectedly, Ling Jiao's side slapped them in the face.
They lost a small contract with Emerald, but instead landed an endorsement deal with an international high-end luxury brand.
Immediately afterwards, someone collected videos taken by fans and passersby at the event that day, proving Ling Jiao's innocence.
Well, all that effort and time has gone to waste; all that has gone into this mess has only brought trouble upon myself.
Zhou Linna took a deep breath, suppressing her dissatisfaction.
"Things have come to this point now, and you said you would handle it."
"Solve it? How do we solve it?" The agent was getting angry. She thought she had nurtured a future superstar, but now she realized she had nurtured a troublemaker. "Fu Shiyi has already foreshadowed the incident. If we release more of his scandal now, it won't divert attention; it will only attract more criticism."
If it were released without outsiders knowing, it would definitely attract attention, and thus the Zhou Linna incident would be overshadowed.
But now that Fu Shiyi has already said that they are going to release other people's scandals to shield Zhou Linna, if they release the news now, no one will believe it. Instead, they will assume that they are deliberately trying to smear someone.
Not only will it attract negative attention, but it might also lead to lawsuits.
"So you mean we're just going to leave this matter unresolved?" Zhou Linna asked.
"Anyway, we can't release any more news to cover up your situation now," the talent manager said.
Now that Fu Shiyi has seen through this trick, it definitely can't be used anymore.
“Then there’s no other solution. I’ve already had several endorsement deals terminated,” Zhou Linna said anxiously.
The talent manager rubbed his temples, looking exasperated. "When you first came back, I told you not to cause trouble, to take things one step at a time, and I guaranteed to get you promoted. Why didn't you listen?"
She already had a dark past, did she really think that after a few years, no one would remember her past scandals?
If she had come back and focused on making music, and her company had managed and promoted her properly, she wouldn't have been affected by the past at all.
However, she was too eager for quick success and instant benefits, and for the sake of an endorsement, she has ended up in such an embarrassing situation.
