Chapter 38

Su Ning sat down and looked at the resume carefully again.

In addition to some characteristics similar to the protagonist in the original novel, there were other things that attracted Su Ning, for example, this girl's resume seemed impeccable. She graduated from a well-known film academy and ranked first in the art exam that year.

He wanted to search for Ji Xue on the Internet to see if he could find any information about her, so he reached for the mobile phone on the table with one hand, and the towel in his hand was taken by Shen Mingzheng.

"Let me help you dry your hair."

Su Ning: “Yeah.”

The pajamas provided at home were loose, and Su Ning felt hot, so he unbuttoned two buttons, leaving the back of his neck exposed.

Master Su was raised in luxury, with very fair and delicate skin. His hair felt soft when his fingers casually slid over it. Shen Mingzheng looked down and saw the warm yellow light from the floor lamp in the living room shining on the side of his face, making his features look even more delicate.

Even though he has the same facial features as Su Ning in his previous life, his expression and temperament are completely different.

Therefore, Mr. Shen, who is always the boss outside, sometimes works diligently as a hair dryer for others, even though he knows there is a wall-mounted hair dryer next to the house and he doesn't need to do it himself.

But he was happy.

At this time, Su Ning, who had received the mobile phone, also received a message from Director Yao. The other party told him that the girl should have changed her mobile phone number and had not yet found her, but some new information had been found and sent to him at this time.

Ji Xue is from Haicheng. The media took several pictures of her during the art exam. In addition to ranking first in the art exam that year, her academic performance was also very impressive. Her college entrance exam score was close to 600 points. She was also on the hot search list for a while. Su Ning looked at those pictures and saw that they were all of her bare face when she was a student. She had a very beautiful and recognizable face.

In other words, the protagonist's face.

But Director Yao herself couldn't explain the details of the third-party scandal that led to her being banned.

She specially asked someone to search for some information and found that a lot of the information on the Internet had been cleared. That was three years ago. Nowadays, information on the Internet is updated too quickly, and many people have forgotten it, or simply don't remember it. After all, she was just a small star who hadn't debuted yet. She had been hidden for three years, and no one remembered her.

"After looking at it over and over again, I still think that she was framed for the third party incident," Director Yao said. "She graduated from such a good film school, signed with Guangying Entertainment, which was at its peak at the time, and had already secured a role in a TV series. I know Mr. Su well, and he would never make things difficult for her. A young girl with a promising future, no normal person would ruin her own future."

Su Ning read it carefully and also found it strange.

The rules of scandal ban have always been confusing in the circle. Sang Le was caught in the act, but he was not banned. It was just that Shen Huai was gone, and he chose to withdraw from the competition because he knew there was no hope. There was no need for Su Ning to bother with a small person like him who was being bossed around, so he just let him be.

But Ji Xue's ban could not even stop Lao Suzong, so he had to be hidden. It was indeed not right. From this perspective, it also fits the configuration of the oppressed and pitiful little protagonist in the original book.

When Su Ning came into the book, he didn't see the protagonist's gender clearly. If it was a girl, it would be normal.

At this time, Shen Mingzheng, who was standing behind him, spoke up: "I know about this."

Su Ning turned to look at him in surprise.

Shen Mingzheng had an extra source of information. After he recognized Ji Xue, he knew more than anyone else and was not stingy in sharing it with Su Ning.

In his previous life, after Guangying Entertainment was acquired, Shen Huai did not take over all the people in the company. He kept those he thought were useful and threw away all the others, including some brokerage contracts signed with others, which he threw away like garbage, and all traces were worn away. It is normal that Su Ning cannot find anyone now.

Ji Xue is not the type of person who likes to talk about the past. Not to mention Shen Mingzheng, most people don’t know that she had signed a contract with Guangying Entertainment.

However, many people later found out who the man was who had suppressed her "scandal" for a long time.

"What a coincidence! This incident is related to Allen, whom you just met," Shen Mingzheng put the towel aside. "The man is the pillar of Jianfeng, Liao Yuansi."

Actor Liao Yuansi, the 36-year-old middle-aged actor, has always presented himself as a righteous tough guy and a loving and protective wife. His wife is a senior executive at Pinnacle, so one can imagine how good his resources and status are.

It is almost impossible for a celebrity to be completely free of scandals. Even if they are truly chaste, if paparazzi take some of their photos out of context while they are partying with friends, it can cause a stir. Liao Yuansi has had some scandals as well, but most of them were clarified quickly, and his current image is still very positive.

But this is only superficial.

"The snow accumulation incident was a real unexpected disaster for her."

Although she was later called Medusa in the industry, Shen Mingzheng felt that a more appropriate term for her was "a fan of all people." This is the most impartial adjective for Jixue.

Most artists in the entertainment industry have a bit of a charm that attracts everyone, but Ji Xue is an exception. Her looks and personality are attractive whenever she appears, but the saddest thing is that she has no background and no ability to protect herself in the circle.

Beauty became a double-edged sword at this time, so that when Liao Yuansi met her, he was itching to take action. She was already in great pain, and later when clues were caught and the truth was about to be revealed, she became the only victim.

Because Liao Yuansi had two big-budget movies to release at the time, if he, the protagonist, failed, the investment would be gone, so the whole thing fell into the trap and then quickly collapsed.

The girl, who was so young and had no social experience, regarded Liao Yuansi as a senior whom she admired when she first met him. As a result, all the evidence was destroyed. In order to prevent her from continuing to speak, even the police came down.

However, the □□ that came out of that association itself had no basis, so when Jixue was later picked up by someone with a stronger background, she clarified the rumors at the time, but sadly, few people believed her.

She used this relationship that had hurt her as a weapon to climb back up step by step, so everyone thought that she relied on men to get to the top, and it was hard to say whether she had a relationship with Liao Yuansi.

This was the snow whose reputation was very polarized at the time.

Of course, Shen Mingzheng did not say what would happen next, he only mentioned Liao Yuansi.

After hearing this, Su Ning was silent for a long time.

Just like Director Yao, Ji Xue didn't need to ruin her own future at that time. It was not right.

What made Shen Mingzheng feel comfortable getting along with him was that Su Ning would not ask him how he knew about this matter, and he did not have to bother explaining it.

Looking at the phone again, there are photos of Liao Yuansi's wife and children released by major media. They look very happy. It is hard to believe that this original wife is so heartbroken just to protect her family. It is simply because there are too many investments tied to Mr. Liao and he cannot fail.

"In our circle, not everyone treats artists as human beings like you do to Li Chu," Shen Mingzheng said. "Take Jianfeng Brokerage as an example. Artists are commodities, investments, vases placed on the stage, ratings and playback volume that can sell advertisements, and valuable movie tickets, but they are not human beings."

So the more valuable Liao Yuansi hurt Ji Xue, so isn't it a choice that everyone knows who to save?

Shen Mingzheng has seen a lot of suffering among the ignorant men and women who entered this circle. He has been an experiencer and a witness.

There are some artists who enjoy it and thrive in such an abyss, but is it right to act like a non-human being?

Liang Xiaoliang is one of the better types. He knows that if idols are suppressed too much, they will become commodities without personality and will no longer be attractive. To some extent, he is not a heartless businessman, so he has never been used to Jianfeng's training method and does not like Allen. The discord between Guangying Entertainment and Jianfeng is long-standing.

On the surface, the fight in Haicheng is an internal power struggle within the Shen family, but in reality, it is a difference in concepts.

Su Ning said: "I have to find her."

He knew the old president's helplessness at that time, but the company had the responsibility to protect her.

If he hadn't gotten this resume, Shen Mingzheng would have never thought of Ji Xue. It would take at least a year for her to emerge, and it would be difficult to find someone now.

But it was not without a solution. They both saw the same place at the same time - "my teacher."

The "my teacher said" that Ji Xue wrote on her resume was most likely her college teacher at Haicheng Drama Academy, as the time matches.

Ji Xue disappeared and even changed her cell phone number when she moved. Liao Yuansi was very popular at that time, so it is understandable that many fans would scold her, but if she was his mentor, they would have kept in touch.

"I'll ask someone to go to Haicheng Drama Academy to ask," Su Ning said, "Thank you for telling me this."

Shen Mingzheng: "No need to thank me."

He should thank Su Ning.

There are too many things like this in the entertainment industry, and many people are used to it. Moreover, it has been so long that they are too lazy to care about it. But Su Ning will care about it.

Shen Mingzheng felt at ease knowing that he had someone like Su Ning by his side.

Even on their wedding night, the two of them slept separately, but they said goodnight to each other face to face before closing the door, and then went to sleep. Shen Mingzheng stood in front of the master bedroom door for a while, looked at the closed door diagonally opposite for a while, and then went to sleep.

This continued for the next few days.

Su Ning didn't have any honeymoon leave to speak of. He has been busy all the time. In addition to company matters, he also had to rush to meet Glory's people early this morning.

By now, the work arranged by Orange Video has been almost completed, and the management and operation of the debut group will be taken over, so Su Ning has to bring the previously formed joint operation team over.

Currently, Su Ning is the general agent of this team, which shows how much he values ​​this matter.

Glory, because of all the public opinions during the broadcast, both good and bad, the group was given a nickname online within one day, Gua Tuan.

Anyway, this name is quite appropriate.

When Su Ning just woke up this morning, his subordinates forwarded him the latest hot topic of "Gua Tuan". It is true that there are endless quarrels and endless gossips, and they never stop even after they have made their debut.

In the first few days after debut, fans were celebrating wildly and everyone seemed happy and harmonious, but after this period of time, conflicts were inevitable.

And it happened at this critical moment when Su Ning was about to take over.

There was no secret about the handover of the brokerage team. Everyone knew that the group was run by Su Ning, but the C position Li Chu happened to be from their company. Soon, the topic of "partiality" and "unfairness" of the brokerage team came up.

Li Chu was very popular on stage during the competition. After his debut, big overseas brands approached him and asked him to collaborate with them by name. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but there are rumors.

The issue of "personal resources" is a sensitive point.

It is common for fans of a single member in a group to quarrel with each other. Everyone's fans will feel that their fan has been wronged, but this time it seems that there is a reason for it, especially the fans of the two members of the group, who were particularly angry.

"You're talking as if a business cooperation is of no concern to anyone. Our big company, Jianfeng, has already brought resources here, but the group has not let us go. Instead, they are paying special attention to 1 pulling resources. What's going on? Are they afraid that our little 5 and little 6 will overtake them?"

"That's right, what good team resources can Guangying Entertainment attract? Su Ning, that idiot, is just lucky, what ability does he have?"

"I'm speechless. If they hadn't suddenly organized a qualifying match to attract attention to me, how could they not be in the top three? They were biased from the beginning."

"Let me go immediately, thank you."

There were many big fans speaking here, so the small fans also started to make a fuss. Li Chu's fans were no pushovers, and the fans of other people also felt something was not right. After all, Kirin from Top didn't say anything, so Jianfeng took the lead.

So there was another melee among the groups, and the fans of the group wanted to separate them, but the matter became more and more noisy.

Before Su Ning officially took over and did anything, the group's official Weibo account had already been @ed by angry fans demanding an apology.

But the fact is that no one from Glory has dropped out of the team. The personal resources of C position Li Chu are not so fast. The others are being contacted one after another, but they haven’t been discussed yet. Currently, they are all shooting for team resources.

Su Ning listened to the team members talking to him about this matter, and he roughly understood it. When he arrived at the scene, the resources on the Orange Video side had not been shot yet. When he entered, he saw Li Chu with a stern face.

He thought that Li Chu was unhappy because of what happened on the Internet that morning, but when he looked closely, that didn't seem to be the case. It was obvious that he was staring at him.

Li Chu's chubby face was stern but not fierce. He seemed to want to be stern to Su Ning, but he couldn't do it. So he kept silent for a while, then couldn't help but ran over and asked, "Master, President Su, are you hiding something from me?"

Su Ning: "What's the matter?"

Li Chu immediately noticed the ring on his hand.

Su Ning was wearing a simple hoop today, which looked like a couple's ring at first glance, and he wore it on his ring finger.

Who doesn't know what this means?

Li Chu became even angrier, his face puffed up.

"You're already married, but Shen Mingzheng bought you such a plain and ugly ring? He's a big boss after all, right? I think he planned it all along and was very cunning. He really is..."

Su Ning understood, smiled, and couldn't help interrupting him: "Xiao Chu, I bought this."

Li Chu: ...

He was silent for a while, then whispered, "Well, I mean, if you look closely, this ring is also quite simple and elegant, and different from the others."

Su Ning thought he was really cute and couldn't help but smile. She motioned for him to sit down next to her and then explained seriously, "We got the marriage certificate yesterday. There are so many things to do and you've been busy lately. I wanted to come over today just in time to tell you."

"Ming Zheng and I both know why this is happening. The company needs to grow, I need money, and he needs help. This is a business collaboration, you don't have to think too much about it."

Li Chu: "Then why did you buy him a ring?"

And before, everyone called him Mr. Shen, but now he is called Ming Zheng.

"Since this is a collaboration, I can't treat him too badly," Su Ning thought for a moment, "Besides, he's a nice guy."

Although this ring is also a brand, it is certainly not as valuable as the ruby ​​ring given by Shen Mingzheng. Su Ning was a little nervous when he gave it to her, but he didn't expect the other party to be so surprised.

"This is the best wedding ring in my eyes," Shen Mingzheng said. "Su Ning, I am very happy that you have this intention."

It sounded really pure and natural, without any airs at all. At least Su Ning found it quite moving.

But that didn't sound like that to Li Chu.

Ha, Shen Mingzheng, I didn’t realize it before, what a vixen you are!
