"Don't move," Ke Rao held her calf and said, "I'll apply a compress on you. It will help you feel better when you attend the meeting tomorrow."
Jian Yang was stunned and said embarrassedly: "Sister Ke, you don't have to do this."
Ke Rao said, "Going on stage to interact is your job, and that's all I can do for you. I know being an artist is very tiring. Besides your managers, who else cares about you?"
Others only see their glorious appearance on stage, but fail to see how much these women have to endure in order to stand in front of the camera.
Jian Yang's eyes drooped, "Thank you, Sister Ke."
Ke Rao: "Don't thank me. If you really remember my kindness, just don't quit the circle so easily in the future."
Jian Yang: “?”
What happened to Sister Ke today?
Ke Rao looked up and said, "You may not know yet, but Zhao Xiaoyun, who was on the variety show with you, is reportedly retiring."
Jian Yang was silent for a moment. She actually knew about this. Zhao Xiaoyun had told her personally.
She said calmly, "I've heard about that, too."
Ke Rao said, "But you probably don't know the reason why she retired from the entertainment industry, right? It's said that her company asked her to accompany some celebrity for drinks, but she refused and was scolded. She's still in the hospital now. After she woke up, she said she wanted to quit."
Jian Yang asked doubtfully, "Where did you hear that?"
The incident happened not long ago, but Ke Rao was able to find out such details. I underestimated her in the past!
Ke Rao said, "I heard it from her agent. After Zhao Xiaoyun announced her retirement, Li Qiulan started scolding her on WeChat Moments. She said everyone has experienced this kind of thing, so why couldn't she handle it? She's also threatening to quit, which only causes trouble for others. Now, Li Qiulan and her are on the verge of breaking up."
Jian Yang was surprised: "It's so serious!"
Ke Rao: "Of course. Li Qiulan once managed a famous actress. However, that actor's behavior was inappropriate and he was found to have solicited prostitution, so he was later blacklisted. Since then, her career has hit a low point. None of the people she managed became popular. Finally, she met the popular Zhao Xiaoyun, who is the bargaining chip for Li Qiulan to turn things around in the industry."
Jian Yang said: "She doesn't want to let go of Zhao Xiaoyun."
"Of course!" Ke Rao said without hesitation. "Actually, any agent with a bit of discernment in the industry can see that Zhao Xiaoyun is definitely a potential stock."
Ke Rao had sensed this the moment she met her in person.
"Her face isn't stunningly beautiful, but she's still memorable. She's also a great singer and dancer. As long as she gets on the right show, it's only a matter of time before she becomes famous. If Li Qiulan can't make another artist popular, she'll have no future in the industry. She'll be fired by the company. If you were in her shoes, would you be willing to miss this opportunity? She's definitely trying everything she can to keep Zhao Xiaoyun."
Jian Yang was silent. If this was her only way to survive, she certainly wouldn't want to. "But what about Zhao Xiaoyun?"
She no longer wants to stay in this circle, and even if Zhao Xiaoyun is forced to stay, she will not have the motivation to strive.
Ke Rao thought for a moment and said, "That depends on Zhao Xiaoyun's fate. Generally, in such a situation where relationships are torn apart, the agent will not be soft-hearted towards the artist. If Zhao Xiaoyun has any negative information that Li Qiulan has used to kill her, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for her to quit the industry. In this industry, you'll be skinned alive."
People say artists are crazy, but sometimes their managers are even crazier than the artists.
Aren’t those black and red routes, the resources that are obtained by drinking and smiling, all connected by the agents?
To keep their money flowing, managers will always seize on every secret the artist has to offer. If they don't give them what they want, the artist won't be able to escape unscathed.
Jian Yang felt horrified when he heard this. "If I can't have it, I have to destroy it?"
Destroying them would be the least of their worries. Ke Rao said, "What's even more terrifying is wanting to shatter those artists who have retired from the industry."
Li Qiulan used to be the agent of a big star. If she is really angered, she might do something extreme to ruin the artist.
If you stay in this circle for a long time, your heart will become twisted.
Jian Yang felt uneasy. He just hoped that Zhao Xiaoyun had behaved well in the past and didn't have any black material for Li Qiulan to catch. Otherwise, who knows how much trouble would be caused later.
Ke Rao suddenly looked at her and said, "I've been so good to you, so you better behave yourself. Don't quit the circle like Zhao Xiaoyun suddenly, or I'll run into you and die!"
Jian Yang's mouth twitched, and he patted Ke Rao's shoulder and said, "Not really. We don't use such extreme measures."
Ke Rao: "If you don't believe me, try it!"
Jian Yang suddenly asked, "Sister Ke, I heard you've been in the industry for almost five years. But you've only been my mentor for two years. So who were you mentoring in the years before that?"
Ke Rao was stunned, a hint of displeasure clearly flashing across his face.
Ke Raoshu: "She's just a slightly famous artist now, but she later got a better company and kicked me out. People always want to move up the ladder, and she no longer looks down on me."
Jian Yang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly leaned over and hugged Ke Rao and said, "Don't worry, I won't kick you out. Last time Fanhua Entertainment approached me, I didn't agree."
Ke Rao smiled and said, "You still have a conscience."
Just thinking of that person from the past, Ke Rao couldn't help feeling a sense of loss.
Forget it, what’s the point of looking like those who gave up on her?
The next day, S City Century Cultural Square.
In order to hold Kelu's new product meeting, the booth was set up two days ago.
After Jian Yang and Ke Rao arrived at the scene, they were led to the rest room by the venue staff through the other side passage.
"Ms. Jane, please take a rest first. Our staff will come to call you when the meeting is about to start."
Jian Yang nodded slightly, and the staff member retreated.
Ke Rao asked, "Is your foot okay?"
Jian Yang: "It still hurts a little."
Ke Rao sighed, took out the high heels Lu Mancheng had given her from her bag, and said, "Don't wear them yet. Change them when you go on stage. Then change them back during your break. You'll have to be lazy for as long as you can."
Not long after, the staff came to invite Jian Yang to the stage.
She put on the high heels she had prepared in advance, took a deep breath and walked out.
The fans who had come to see her were excited and excited. As soon as they saw Jian Yang, they started cheering passionately. The lights at the scene were flashing continuously. Since being cyberbullied, she hadn't participated in an offline event with so many fans in a long time.
Ke Rao nervously watched Jian Yang's steps onto the stage, fearing she might make a mistake and fall off the stand. Fortunately, she had a solid foundation, so even with her leg injury, she walked steadily.
She stood on the booth with a dignified posture and took the microphone from the host.
"Hello everyone, I'm Jian Yang."
"ah!!!!"
The fans in the audience started their usual groundhog screams, and Ke Rao felt a little disappointed when she saw this scene.
After such a long time, Jian Yang finally stood in front of the public again.
