"What top-tier celebrity! I think you’re about to beco a has-been top-tier celebrity soon!"
"ngran, I must congratulate you in advance! I’ve heard Huace is no ordinary company! Now that Huace plans to enter the entertainnt industry, they must want Huanyu to beco the top in the field! By then, Huace will surely invest a lot of capital to support its subsidiaries, and your resources will only get better!"
"Yes! Here’s to you becoming a top-tier celebrity soon, hahaha!"
Du Huaixi suddenly laughed.
She tugged at the corners of her lips and looked at He ngran: "ngran, congratulations on becoming the artist to be focused on, but shouldn’t you get another plastic surgery to adjust your face?"
He ngran was stunned.
Du Huaixi walked up to her and smiled: "Do you know how I’ve gotten so many ’plastic surgery scandals’ on the trending topics? When you look into those marketing accounts with those claims about my surgeries, they’re all using your photos."
He ngran’s face instantly froze.
Du Huaixi’s face was once listed as a high-end template by various plastic surgery hospitals.
Back when, before He ngran entered the industry, she had surgeries to resemble Du Huaixi’s eyes and nose.
Precisely because of this, she was able to sign with Huanyu, thanks to this "Little Tangzhi" face.
And plastic surgery inevitably cos with a series of aftereffects.
The chin being oddly protruded...
The stiffness of the cheeks caused by excessive Botox injections...
The natural deformation of a rib nose...
And because He ngran occasionally resembled Du Huaixi in certain angles, so unethical marketing accounts used He ngran’s deford face to sar Du Huaixi as having a plastic surgery face.
So of these negative trending topics were bought by rival companies, and so were bought by He ngran.
Du Huaixi said: "With your face, no matter how good the resources are given to you, you will never rise to my level. Instead, let give you a suggestion? You see, variety shows are so popular now. Why not consider a different path and beco a variety show star? If you beco famous, you’ll have to thank ."
After speaking, she coldly tugged at the corners of her lips and turned to leave.
He ngran ca to her senses and angrily shouted at Du Huaixi’s back: "Du Huaixi! Don’t be complacent! One day, I’ll be more famous than you!"
Du Huaixi didn’t even turn her head.
...
The CEO’s office.
Du Huaixi stood at the door, took a deep breath, and gently knocked on the door.
"Is Mr. Huo in?"
Huo Tinghan’s voice ca from inside: "Co in."
Du Huaixi opened the door and walked in.
The CEO’s office wasn’t very big.
Huo Tinghan was organizing his desk.
This was previously Tian Jifeng’s office.
After Huace acquired Huanyu, it served as Huo Tinghan’s temporary workspace.
He actually didn’t want to co to Huanyu to work, but considering that Du Huaixi often returned to Huanyu, he thought about setting up a temporary office here to stay close to her.
Du Huaixi closed the door and walked up to him: "Why did you suddenly acquire Huanyu?"
Huo Tinghan turned around, looked at her, raised his hand, and gently touched her hair: "Why do you seem unhappy?"
Du Huaixi said: "Did you acquire Huanyu to buy out my contract?"
Huo Tinghan said: "Didn’t you sign a bet agreent with Tian Jifeng? Now that I’ve acquired Huanyu, this bet agreent goes to my na."
After speaking, he leaned casually against the desk and picked up a contract agreent.
This was the bet agreent Du Huaixi had signed with Tian Jifeng.
Huo Tinghan smiled, casually tore the agreent in half: "Xixi, from now on, you’re free."
Du Huaixi felt touched but couldn’t quite be happy: "So, after taking over Huanyu, will you cut down my work to promote others?"
Huo Tinghan was noncommittal: "I acquired Huanyu for you. Naturally, acquiring Huanyu also ans getting it operational to satisfy other Huace shareholders."
Spending 2.5 billion to buy a company is certainly not for playing around.
He ngran, Lijia, Huo Tinghan had reviewed so of their profiles and considered utilizing them to et Huanyu’s KPIs, perhaps it could be achieved.
Du Huaixi sighed lightly: "Then can I still do acting?"
Huo Tinghan gently embraced her: "Of course, you can act. However, you can only take one movie and one drama a year. In the future, you won’t need to do any variety shows, any business deals, or attend any unwanted events."
Du Huaixi said: "Then what’s the difference between this and you supporting ?"
Huo Tinghan’s expression slightly changed.
He furrowed his brows: "I just want to protect you."
Huace had no ambition in the entertainnt industry.
To convince the hard-headed shareholders to acquire Huanyu, Huo Tinghan went through considerable trouble.
The shareholders knew that Huo Tinghan bought Huanyu for soone, and worried that he would be too distracted by one woman, impacting Huace’s future developnt.
Du Huaixi angrily said: "You don’t know that after He ngran was declared a key artist, she ca over to flaunt to . Soone unaware might think you blacklisted . Honestly... I really dislike He ngran. You can promote anyone but her."
She paused, looked at Huo Tinghan: "I am Huanyu’s golden brand now, why don’t you promote !"
Huo Tinghan was amused: "Are you that competitive, can’t stand others surpassing you?"
Du Huaixi said: "Huanyu rose because of , now that you’ve bought Huanyu, yet you’re promoting other won. Hmm! I’m jealous!"
After she said that, she crossed her arms: "I don’t care! I don’t mind being sidelined, just don’t promote He ngran! She’s from the sa company, yet all these years, she’s been draining , eating from the hand and biting it back! So many of my negative trending topics, sixty percent of them were purchased by her! Why promote soone like her!"
Huo Tinghan gently held her: "You don’t like her?"
Du Huaixi: "It’s more than dislike, it’s super annoying!"
After speaking, she snuggled into him, rubbing her little face against him: "I don’t care! If you promote her, I won’t pay you any attention ever!"
She rarely acted spoiled with him.
Huo Tinghan was lting at her act of tenderness.
"Alright, alright."
He couldn’t resist, raised both hands in surrender: "I was at fault, not considering you, hmm... How about I take her off the key artist list?"
Du Huaixi: "Really?"
Huo Tinghan nodded: "Of course, if you don’t like her, why would I promote her?"
Du Huaixi’s smile finally blood: "Hehe! You really listen! You’re still the Han I loved as a child."
After speaking, she touched his hair.
After growing up, Huo Tinghan never let anyone touch his hair.
Except for her.
He was willing to let her touch his hair, symbolizing his willingness to surrender to her.
