Huo Shanzhen's words made Jian Yu pause for a moment, and she took out her phone to answer An Ke's call.
"Huo Shanzhen wants your address, are you going to give it to him or not?"
Anke had just met with a top agent and was completely immersed in the dream of becoming a superstar, her confidence soaring like never before.
Upon hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "Let him come! Let me experience what it's like to shake off a rich young master."
Jian Yu, "Are you sure you can understand this feeling? Or are you going to be hurt by him in return?"
Anke said, "Of course I can understand. This is something I can brag about in the future. I dumped a young master from the Huo family. Not every woman can have this experience. Wait, I need to find an angle and put a camera there."
Jian Yu said, "Just have a proper conversation, don't record anything."
Having grown up in the Huo family, Jian Yu didn't believe Huo Shanzhen would have such a good temper. If he found out that An Ke was secretly recording, he might get furious.
Anke: "I'll be very careful, and he won't find out."
Jian Yu: "Why are you recording this?"
Encore, "So that people won't say I'm bragging later!"
Jian Yu, "Just because of this?"
Encore: "Yes."
Jian Yu said, "Listen to me and don't record videos. Vanity shouldn't be satisfied in every situation."
Encore: "I'll keep it for myself, I won't give it to outsiders."
Jian Yu replied, "No."
Encore, "...Okay!"
Having convinced An Ke, Huo Qizhen gave Huo Shanzhen An Ke's address.
Huo Shanzhen drove his sports car straight over.
Unsure of Huo Shanzhen's temperament, Jian Yu could only say to Huo Qizhen, "Did you send your men back? If they're still here, have them keep an eye on things and make sure An Ke and Huo Shanzhen haven't had a conflict before they come back."
Huo Qizhen said, "Anke has been in this industry for many years. She wouldn't be so clueless about basic appearances. You don't need to worry about her."
Bao Yanbai also chimed in, "An Ke isn't the kind of young girl who's just entered society; she won't be so tactless."
Jian Yu thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.
You can relax now.
Who would have thought!
Not long after, An Ke called Jian Yu for help, "Jian Yu, come quickly, Huo Shanzhen has gone mad, he hit one of the assistants the company assigned to me."
Hit the assistant?
How could Huo Shanzhen have gotten into a conflict with his assistant?
Jian Yu had a gut feeling something was wrong. "Why?"
Anke: "He came to see me, and my assistant saw him. He thought my assistant was making fun of him."
Jian Yu's face darkened. "Encore!"
Anke shuddered. "Wha...what's wrong?"
Jian Yu, "Aren't you going to tell the truth?"
Anke, "What...truth?"
Jian Yu said, "You're working at the best agency in the country now. What kind of people haven't you met? Do you think their assistant doesn't even have basic common sense? Huo Shanzhen's clothes are from a top luxury brand, and his shoes are handmade by one of the world's best shoemakers. There's also the mechanical watch on his wrist and the diamond cufflinks on his shirt. None of these are things that ordinary people can afford... How dare a mere assistant laugh at someone like that?"
Not to mention Huo Shanzhen's domineering aura, which is present in every member of the Huo family.
When his assistant sees him, he will only try to please him; he will never treat him as an ordinary person, let alone dare to laugh at him to his face.
An Ke hadn't expected Jian Yu to expose her lie so directly, and her face flushed red and then turned pale. "I... this is a long story. Could you ask Mr. Huo to persuade him first?"
Jian Yu said, "If you don't tell the truth, I won't let anyone help you."
Encore, "..."
His eyes darted around, maybe...
Jian Yu said, "Don't even think about using your position to your advantage, or trying to get help from the management of your agency by waving the banner of the Huo Group. I'll have the Huo Group call and tell your agency not to worry about it."
Upon hearing this, Anke immediately became obedient.
"I'm just furious. Those scumbags treat me like dirt, yet they're after my body. They're also trying to boost their market value. You know how female celebrities sometimes use wealthy young men for publicity. The fact that the Huo family's son is pursuing me so relentlessly will surely make the company leaders think more highly of me. So I told my assistant that a rich second-generation heir was chasing after me, and asked her to call my manager to see how to handle it. But my manager genuinely thought it was just an ordinary rich kid and told my assistant to handle it according to normal procedures. My assistant is just an intern manager, and to show off her abilities, she actually contacted several marketing accounts, planning to secretly record some things to use for publicity later. But when the marketing accounts took the photos, they got caught, and then..."
Just to raise his/her value?
Isn't what Huo Qizhen has said about the past enough?
Jian Yu closed his eyes, feeling a sense of disappointment and frustration. "Just focus on playing your piano. Why worry about what those leaders think of you?"
Anke said, "Although Mr. Huo introduced me, I know that my agent is not very willing to take me under her wing. She thinks I am too old, and they know that I have no direct relationship with the Huo Group, so they are unwilling to promote me as the top female star."
Jian Yu: "Do you know who the top female star is in their company?"
Anke said, "I know that she is an artist who is involved in film, television, and music. She is three or four years older than me and not as pretty as me."
Jian Yu: "Is that all you see?"
Anke, "She debuted early and I heard that she was personally signed by the company president, so the company focused on cultivating her and she is now a top-tier artist in China."
Jian Yu: "Anything else?"
Anke, "rumored to be pursued by top figures from all walks of life."
Jian Yu: "Anything else? Tell me anything you know."
Anke couldn't think of anything.
Jian Yu took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily. "Now that you've finished talking, I'll tell you something you don't know."
An Ke felt uneasy. She shook her head, trying to reassure herself, "There's no way she's hiding anything. I've never seen anything like it in entertainment gossip. If she really had a powerful background, she wouldn't hide it! It must be her powerful backer, but so what? Could he be more powerful than Huo Qizhen?"
Jian Yu said, "The company's top female executive is named Qingtian. She comes from a military family. Whether it's her father's side or her mother's side, each of them is even more powerful than the Huo family conglomerate."
An Ke's face drained of color instantly, revealing a bitter smile. "Why would someone from such a family come to the entertainment industry to be pointed at and gossiped about? Shouldn't they be working behind the scenes as a boss?"
Jian Yu said, "Have you ever seen any news website dare to use her private life for entertainment? Haven't you noticed that no one in the entertainment industry dares to mess with her? Those who used her for publicity years ago, do they still have their names recorded now?"
An Ke's legs began to go weak. Was she going to be blacklisted too?
No!
She just signed with a new company and hasn't become famous yet.
An Ke swallowed hard. "Jian Yu, ask Mr. Huo to help me smooth things over!"
Jian Yu said, "Even the Huo family conglomerate can't afford to offend Qing Tian's parents."
Anke said, "It won't offend her parents. Actually, I didn't directly demand that I become the top female star in the company, nor did I show any dissatisfaction with Qingtian. I just asked the company leaders if they would promote me to be the top female star. After the CEO shook his head, I didn't say anything more. I... ah..."
A scream!
Then came a burst of noise.
Did Huo Shanzhen receive an encore?
