Chapter 169: 169 I can prove Chapter 169: 169 I can prove In a suite in the hotel, the talent agent Fangfang leaned against the room door, engrossed in her phone, continuously flipping through it. Seven or eight other people, either standing or sitting, were all silent.
“Sister Fangfang.”
After a while, an assistant asked quietly, “It’s chaos on Weibo now, we can’t even keep up with deleting the leading comnts.”
“What can we do?” Fangfang showed a bitter smile on her face, “Just keep deleting those for now, how to deal with this later depends on when Supervisor Shao arrives.”
Such a major incident had occurred, and as the official talent agent, she couldn’t shirk her responsibility. Supervisor Shao’s tone on the phone earlier had been unprecedentedly stern, revealing her fury.
She knew she was in for it.
In fact, the incident wasn’t that severe, mainly because she had acted promptly by taking Bai Jinxuan away, preventing the worst-case scenario from unfolding. It wouldn’t be hard to salvage the situation.
The current problem was how to convince Bai Jinxuan not to speak recklessly to the dia.
But since leaving the interview, she had remained silent, ignoring any conversation. Back at the hotel, she had locked herself in her room.
Fangfang simply couldn’t fathom why Jinxuan, who had always been so hardworking, mature, and sensible, requiring very little worry from the talent team, had changed this drastically.
Didn’t she realize the impact her words in front of the dia would have on her star career?
As a trending celebrity who was newly famous, without any substantial works to back her up, having a love scandal now could be a fatal blow.
What was going on with her?
Sotis, Fangfang, who had read too many online novels, couldn’t help but wonder if Jinxuan had switched souls with soone during the last fainting incident and hospital visit. How else could she seem like a completely different person?
Even stranger was her firm belief that she was in love with a man.
The issue was, except for when she was sleeping, Fangfang was with her every day and hadn’t seen her have much contact with any n in the past six months.
At first, Fangfang suspected so n in the team, but after observing them, she concluded it definitely couldn’t be them.
Where had this man suddenly appeared from?
“Could it really be that the pressure was too much, causing her to have hallucinations?”
In the end, that was the only conclusion Fangfang could reach, thinking about Jinxuan’s dazed state lately, sotis sitting and suddenly starting to laugh for no reason, sending a chill down her spine.
Being a celebrity isn’t easy.
“Supervisor Shao.”
At that mont, the door opened, and Supervisor Shao walked in, prompting everyone to stand up and greet her.
Fangfang pulled herself out of her thoughts and approached, not daring to look at her frosty face, and said with her head lowered, “Supervisor Shao, this was my fault, I didn’t realize in ti that there was an issue with Jinxuan’s emotions…”
Shao Qing cut her off, “Your issue can be settled later. Right now, all of you, co in with .”
With that, she didn’t look at Fangfang anymore but went straight to the room door and knocked, “Open up, it’s .”
There was a click, and the door opened from the inside; clearly, Bai Jinxuan had been waiting for her.
Shao Qing walked in with her people, nine staff mbers, standing in a row.
Bai Jinxuan sat in front of a vanity, facing them, her expression revealing nothing unusual.
Shao Qing looked at her and sighed, “Jinxuan, I’ve always thought that signing you was the most correct decision I’ve made all these years. You were born to be a star, with high EQ, sensible, knowing how to work hard. You never caused or the company any worry.”
“I still rember the first ti we t, and I asked you what your goal was, you confidently said you wanted to be a big star. And you always worked toward that goal.”
“Now, that goal is right in front of you, within reach. For it, you’ve put in so much effort, and our team has expended so much energy to get to this place. Have you forgotten all of this?”
Bai Jinxuan listened quietly, her eyes never leaving Shao Qing’s face, and said, “I haven’t forgotten.”
“You haven’t forgotten?”
Shao Qing stared at her intensely, her gaze sharp, “Then you should know the consequences of what you said in front of the dia just now.”
Bai Jinxuan nodded and said, “I know.”
Shao Qing questioned, “If you know, why did you still do it?”
Bai Jinxuan looked back at her unflinchingly and said, “I’ve said it before; I have to find him.”
Shao Qing felt as if the air had been taken out of her. She covered her forehead with a hand and after a while, she exhaled the pent-up frustration. Sitting on the bed, she softened her voice and said, “Jinxuan, you should know that it was only a dream.”
Bai Jinxuan remained silent.
“Would you really destroy your career for an elusive dream?”
Shao Qing stood up again, her tone once more becoming stern, “You should know this isn’t just about you. Fangfang and the others depend on you for their livelihoods, and so do dozens of people at the company. If you’re finished, their careers are too. Haven’t you thought about that?”
Jinxuan slowly stood up. Facing the accusations, her face showed no fear, no self-bla, just determination, “I’m sorry, but I refuse to sacrifice my love for my future or for their livelihoods.”
Shao Qing was stunned, gazing at her with disappointnt, anger, and a bit of disbelief in his eyes.
He had noticed before that Jinxuan was different from other girls. Behind her compliant and obedient facade, she actually had strong opinions, but she hid them well.
He had thought then that this girl might not be so easy to control.
But over the past year, Jinxuan had always followed the company’s arrangents very cooperatively and had never resisted. She had never even talked back to him.
Now, he realized that his initial intuition was right; this girl was definitely the most difficult kind to deal with.
Beside them, Fangfang and the other nine were shocked. They had never expected that Jinxuan, who had always been amiable and easy to talk to, would publicly confront Supervisor Shao. The scene before them was like Mars crashing into the Earth. They stood aside, shivering and not daring to lift their heads.
“Everyone leave,” Shao Qing said, realizing that Jinxuan was resolute and could not be easily persuaded with a few words. He waved his hand to send Fangfang and the others away.
Fangfang and the others left the room as if granted amnesty, and they closed the door behind them.
Once the unrelated people had left, Shao Qing sat on the bed and said with a calm tone, “If you want to find soone, I can find them for you. The condition is, from now on, you’re not allowed to ntion this in front of the dia.”
“No, I’ve changed my mind,” Jinxuan shook her head and said, “I don’t trust you I need to find him using my thods.”
Shao Qing’s expression darkened as he said sternly, “That’s impossible, I won’t allow you to do that.”
Jinxuan looked at him and said calmly, “You can’t stop .”
The expression on Shao Qing’s face worsened, as what Jinxuan said was true, if she really decided to go through with it, no one would be able to stop her. His voice was in her mouth, and what she wanted to say was beyond anyone’s control. They couldn’t just lock her up; the entire company depended on her for revenue.
“Don’t be foolish.”
Shao Qing suppressed the anger in his heart, “Do you know how much resources several companies have invested in promoting you? A traffic celebrity, without a huge amount of traffic, how could you beco a star?”
“Now, you’re a money tree, and those companies are counting on you to make money. If you ruin yourself, what do you think will happen to you? Not just you, but even I will suffer.”
“Be sensible, okay? Don’t sacrifice yourself for a man who is just a fantasy.”
Jinxuan was not frightened by his words and said, “I have always been very clear-headed. And he is not a fignt of my imagination, he must be out there sowhere, waiting for to find him.”
Shao Qing couldn’t listen anymore and shouted, “Enough, Jinxuan, wake up, it’s just a dream.”
“It’s not a dream.”
Hearing her still talk this way, Shao Qing couldn’t help but cover his chest and close his eyes. Then he heard her say, “I can prove it.”
He opened his eyes and nodded, saying, “Alright then, prove it to .”
“I need a professional recording studio.”
Shao Qing stared at her for a while, then took out her phone and said, “Okay. I will contact them now.”
He wanted to see how Jinxuan would prove her claim.
…
One hour later, at a professional recording studio in the city.
“What’s the situation?” A middle-aged man with his chin beard braided into braids stood next to Shao Qing and asked.
Shao Qing had her arms crossed over her chest and was watching Jinxia, who was lying there writing sothing, saying, “Kids making a fuss. Brother Xing, I’m sorry to bother you at this ti.”
“Our relationship, it doesn’t matter if it’s botherso. I’m happy you’re even here,” Brother Xing said with a smile, looking at Bai Jinxia, “I rember this girl; last ti you even asked to find her a vocal coach. It hasn’t been long since then, and she can now write her songs?”
Shao Qing said with so helplessness, “I told you, it’s just kids making a fuss.”
“It seems like you really value this girl.”
By then, Jinxuan had finished writing and brought the paper over.
Shao Qing glanced at it and said to Brother Xing next to him, “You’re the expert, take a look.”
Brother Xing took the paper with a smile. At first, he was sowhat casual, but after a few lines, his expression turned to surprise, and he said, “Interesting,” as he softly humd along.
Shao Qing was observing his facial expressions all the while. She didn’t understand music scores, but she knew how to read people. The changes in Brother Xing’s expression made her aware of sothing, and she instinctively looked at Jinxuan, who appeared calm and not at all nervous.
Suppressing her curiosity, she waited until Brother Xing finished looking at the paper and asked, “So, does it et your standards?”
“It’s more than up to standard.” Brother Xing looked amazed, staring at Bai Jinxia, “Did you really write this song?”
Shao Qing, without waiting for her reply, interjected, “Why don’t we record a sample and listen to the effect?”
