Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Talent Agency Harvester Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Talent Agency Harvester “Mr. Li, if you want to learn about Star Language dia, you can talk to President Kang. I can provide you with his contact information. As a popular star like you, Star Language dia would definitely welco you warmly.”
Shen Yan took his gaze off Li Xu and began pulling out his phone to provide the contact details.
However, Li Xu shook his head, “I already have President Kang’s contact details, and I contacted him a few days ago. You might not be aware of my situation, so let put it this way. Every talent agency I’ve signed with has had issues without exception. The current one even involves the parent company overhead, so now I am essentially a man without a ho. In the industry, they call ‘the agency reaper.'”
Shen Yan couldn’t help but size him up, “So, are you here to ask for my sympathy?”
“If you want to think of it that way, you’re not wrong,” Li Xu smiled.
Shen Yan’s eyes lightly swept over Li Xu’s hand holding the glass of wine, only a fleeting glance that went unnoticed.
When Li Xu looked up at Shen Yan, she had already shifted her focus to the bustling scene not far away, “There isn’t just this one agency, Mr. Li. You could broaden your horizons, perhaps you will discover other opportunities.”
“After much deliberation, I think Star Language suits more.”
“My point still stands, it’d be more appropriate to discuss this with President Kang. I don’t have any say in Star Language, Mr. Li, you’ve approached the wrong person.”
Since Shen Yan sensed sothing unusual about this situation, how could she agree to such a request?
Besides.
Her relationship with Li Xu was rely professional, neither warm nor cold, and she couldn’t interfere in his affairs.
Before Li Xu could speak again, Shen Yan continued, “Even if I had that kind of influence, based on what you’ve just said, I couldn’t possibly make such a request. Mr. Li, I’m not even considering switching agencies.”
Li Xu’s gaze on Shen Yan slightly darkened, then he smiled, “It seems I’m truly out of options.”
“If it really cos to that, Mr. Li, perhaps you should start your own studio,” Shen Yan suggested.
“I don’t have the strength for that, nor do I have the interest,” Li Xu no longer ntioned joining Star Language and switched the topic to discussing Mu Jincheng’s Chenfeng dia, “Since Shi Lian, the top star of Star Language, has joined his company, inevitably you’ll have to compete with her. You’ll need to be careful.”
“Thanks for the heads-up,” Shen Yan was now more laid-back, accepting what was hers and knowing she couldn’t compete for what wasn’t.
Just letting things take their natural course.
After sitting for a while, Li Xu left with his glass of wine.
Shen Yan stood up, watching Li Xu’s departing figure for a long ti before turning to head towards the exit.

Shen Yan hadn’t made it out when she was stopped by Shi Lian wearing a shiny silver dress, holding a champagne glass half-raised, smiling generously and decently, “A chat?”
“What would Senior Shi like to discuss?”
Shi Lian lifted her chin slightly, “I saw just now, you and Li Xu seem close?”
“Not close.”
“I advise you to stay away from Li Xu, he’s a bit sinister. I heard Star Language is thinking about signing him. You might not have focused on that news, but his current agency suddenly got investigated for so suspicious projects, and it affected the parent company heavily, involving so officials in Shen City… you know what I an.”
After all, it was her forr agency, and Shi Lian didn’t want it to collapse too swiftly.
Shen Yan responded, “That’s for the higher-ups to worry about, I just need to do my job.”
Seeing her open-minded approach, Shi Lian laughed, “You’re more stable than I imagined, which makes Star Language’s decision to promote you seem wise.”
Shen Yan glanced at her, “It seems like Senior Shi has gained quite a bit from Chenfeng dia.”
“Currently, Chenfeng dia has only signed , so naturally, I get first access to all resources. But I’m aware that soon there will be a second and a third person to share the resources with . When the day cos that I need to fight for them, there might be so clashes with your side.”
Shen Yan paused for a mont and said, “Does Senior Shi an he will compete with ?”
“In this circle, it was bound to happen sooner or later,” Shi Lian said with a faint smile. “I just ca to remind you of that matter, nothing else.”
Watching Shi Lian elegantly walk back to the bustling center, Shen Yan rely paused briefly before striding out through the exit.
Liu Su hadn’t entered the banquet hall; Shen Yan had told him she would just check on sothing and co out, so he had waited outside.
After Shen Yan ca out, she sent a ssage to Qin Ding Yue, saying she was leaving first.
“Yanyan,” Liu Su saw her and opened the car door, waving his hand, “This way.”
“Uncle Liu, sorry to keep you waiting,” Shen Yan turned and walked towards Liu Su.
Liu Su glanced behind her and asked, “Didn’t encounter any problems, did you?”
“No,” Shen Yan got into the car and asked, “Is Xinyu planning to sign Li Xu?”
Liu Su’s hand paused on the seat belt, and he turned to look at the back seat. “Who told you that?”
“I heard it by chance,” Shen Yan didn’t ntion that Li Xu had approached her.
“Indeed, there is such an intention. We’ve already made contact with Li Xu and his agent, and maybe soon you will be colleagues,” Liu Su said with a sowhat stern expression. “Recently, his agency has been making headlines every day in the financial news. So we at Xinyu are also considering it carefully.”
“Knowing the situation about him, why still have such an intention?”
Although it wasn’t said to be very superstitious or feudal, but large bosses and so groups of people, more or less, believe in these things.
Xinyu, instead of avoiding it, was considering signing Li Xu, which was a bit strange.
Liu Su cleared his throat. “It’s not a big deal. Those few agencies that collapsed were entirely due to their own problems, and it has nothing to do with Li Xu. Xinyu is looking at Li Xu’s own abilities, unrelated to other factors. Do you dislike him?”
“Not really, just asking casually.”
Shen Yan still found it odd, but she didn’t ask further.
Xinyu making such a decision must also have been through weighing the pros and cons.

Shen Yan had just finished washing up and was lying in bed when she heard noises from outside.
Qi Si had co back.
Liu Su followed Qi Si into the study, closing the door before reporting on Xinyu’s situation.
“The contract with that Li Xu is being prepared, but signing soone so controversial, won’t it involve the Qi Group?” Liu Su still had so concerns.
Qi Si responded indifferently, “It depends on whether he has the capability to infiltrate the Qi Group.”
Xinyu was just a small company he used to promote Shen Yan, expendable and insignificant.
Liu Su said, “We had audited Xinyu’s accounts when we took over, even if he is from that place, nothing can be traced.”
Qi Si unbuttoned the top of his shirt, his tone even colder, “Starting with a dia company, that departnt’s tactics are indeed a bit tricky.”
Liu Su glanced at Qi Si and said, “Today, when coming out of the Mu Family banquet, Yanyan ntioned Li Xu to .”
Qi Si’s handso brows seed to furrow slightly, “Don’t let her get involved in these matters.”
“I know, I will definitely keep her away, but in the future, once Li Xu is signed, they will inevitably interact. If he tries to use Yanyan to learn about the Qi Group…”
Qi Si’s eyes suddenly grew colder, “He will not have the chance.”
