Golden Agent of the Adonis (127)
From then on, there was a legend in the fandom. Fans of Fang Zhenxuan and Chu Xiang were not to be messed with, especially the CP fans. However, this “not to be messed with” was different from others. Typically, “not to be messed with” referred to excessive criticism that no one wanted to be associated with. But in their case, it was backed by strong reasoning and evidence, even going as far as exposing the other party’s true nature, which might result in legal action. It was very serious.
The fame of the Sweet CP fans soared overnight, leaving a deep impression on people. It was to the extent that outsiders collectively referred to Fang Zhenxuan’s fans, Chu Xiang’s fans, and their CP fans as the Sweet Army. Even top-tier celebrities stars like Xia Ze couldn’t please them, so anyone who dared to provoke the army would be courting their own doom.
As discussions about Chu Xiang’s all-around talents increased, someone raised a question: If Chu Xiang is so talented, why didn’t she show herself before? Who… buried her?
The answer was obvious: Chen Lifeng wasted eight years of Chu Xiang’s life!
Chu Xiang, 30 years old, eight years wasted. That was her entire youth, squandered on Chen Lifeng. She took only half a year to propel newcomer Fang Zhenxuan to such heights of popularity. Meanwhile, it took Chen Lifeng eight years to win an acting award. Before that, he was just average. On closer inspection, whose fault was it?
After Chen Lifeng changed his agent, he hardly had any activity, which was enough to prove that all his previous achievements were thanks to Chu Xiang. Yet, he had held Chu Xiang back, causing the precious pearl to remain obscured for eight long years. If it weren’t for him, Chu Xiang might have become a nationwide sensation on her own!
Countless netizens expressed a sense of regret and even developed a dislike for Chen Lifeng. Everyone loved beautiful things, attractive people, captivating songs, and entertaining live streams. Chu Xiang embodied all of that. People felt that Chen Lifeng had deprived them of the opportunity to discover her for eight years. The more favorable they felt toward Chu Xiang, the more they uncontrollably developed resentment towards Chen Lifeng.
Chen Lifeng’s popularity with the casual viewers was completely ruined, and he had no idea why. He didn’t know where he went wrong step by step. Recently, he has also been filming a movie, a Lunar New Year film as well. When he saw Chu Xiang’s live stream go viral and when many people became aware of Case Investigation Adventure, he regretted it once again. If he hadn’t changed agents, Chu Xiang would have been promoting his movie right now.
However, he was also enraged. How much had Chu Xiang hidden from him? How come he didn’t know that she could play the piano and the guitar, or that she had such a beautiful singing voice? Why didn’t she dress up when she was with him before? If she had looked as beautiful and amazing back then as she did now, how could he have ever considered changing his agent?
A scumbag would never consider themselves at fault; they would only shift the blame to others. However, no one cared about his thoughts. The traps Chu Xiang set for him were gradually revealing their effects—one by one. It was a subtle and gradual process. Perhaps besides Chu Xiang herself, no one would know how Chen Lifeng was being sidelined.
After the live stream, Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan returned to the set to continue filming. In order to keep up with their roles, Fang Zhenxuan sometimes had to shoot for more than 30 consecutive hours and then rest for only four or five hours before getting back up to shoot again. Fortunately, his young age and good foundation kept his spirits and condition unaffected. The demanding director was extremely satisfied with him, praising him every day.
This intense and focused filming allowed Fang Zhenxuan’s acting skills to improve further. Chu Xiang deliberately recorded a video of him acting and showed it to Manager Liang. When you do something, you should let the boss know. Any positive progress should be shared with the boss, or else how can you gain more support?
To Manager Liang’s surprise, Fang Zhenxuan’s acting skills had improved. It was something that 99% of artists in the industry couldn’t achieve, as they were busy with work every day and hardly had any time to rest. Others needed to set aside time to hone their acting skills, but it was the first time he saw someone integrate work and skill improvement so well. He admired Fang Zhenxuan, the newcomer, even more.
During a casual conversation with Manager Liang, Chu Xiang mentioned her desire for endorsement deals and hoped that the company could help negotiate. Fang Zhenxuan had signed a VAM agreement with the company, so of course, the company would fully support him, especially considering his dedication. He deserved better resources.
Chu Xiang visited the company and secured endorsements for a mobile phone, a car, and a computer brand. Originally, these deals were meant for Chen Lifeng. Now, of course, she had snatched them away. Saying they were reserved was just a formality; once the process was complete, contracts would be signed.
Colleagues in the company greeted Chu Xiang happily whenever they saw her. The head of the PR department, who was familiar with her, jokingly said, “You’re truly different, Miss Local Tyrant. Your earrings, hairstyle, and clothes exude a queen’s aura. Wherever you go, you become the center of attention. Unlike before, no one noticed you when you came to the company.”
Chu Xiang laughed and replied, “You can be like me too. Let’s go shopping and have a spa day when you’re free. I can confidently charge ahead because I know you all have my back.”
“Well, you said it. I’ll come find you this weekend. With more people in your team, we’ll have plenty of time to charge ahead.”
Chu Xiang smiled and said, “My point exactly. I’m going to meet people and sign deals with those who are suitable. I’ll be relying on you in the future.”
The title of “Golden Agent” had been obtained, but the true measure of a golden agent had no limits. She wouldn’t just promote one person; she would promote one after another. In the near future, the term “Golden Agent” might not be enough to describe her anymore.
