Chapter 275: Karma Is A B*tch
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As a young lady with no fancy background, Lin Xiaojuan was able to become a trump manager within three years. That was definitely not easy for her.

Back then, Lin Xiaojuan had not graduated.

She made many fresh youngsters become Mr. and Mrs. Popular, but the one that really made her better was Tong Hua’s success.

It was an accidental chance, yet it was one that would never happen again.

Tong Hua turned famous overnight. As his manager, Lin Xiaojuan used Tong Hua to get a wider variety of people in her circle. She could also find better resources for the artistes under her. As time went by, a lady who was initially an assistant became the number one manager of Brilliant Entertainment.

Liu Jie was unhappy. The two of them had worked hard and competed against each other for many years, and they both had their successes and failures. However, Lin Xiaojuan was totally not bothered by Liu Jie. Artistes were the weapons of managers, and she was young and willing to work hard, so she had almost always been above Liu Jie.

This time, Liu Jie had taken Yan Jianming away hoping to strike a deadly blow on Lin Xiaojuan. However, who knew that all of Yan Jianming’s opportunities to appear on TV would be canceled.

The three TV drama contracts that had already been confirmed were all canceled.

Two of them were taken away by AG artistes, and another was filled up by a Mr. Popular under Gu Xie.

The two endorsement projects he was going to be involved in were also canceled.

Liu Jie went around searching for information and found out that Shen Qianshu was well-acquainted with the fashion editor in ES. On a gathering the day before, Shen Qianshu had accidentally said that Yan Jianming’s taste was bad and that his style looked too much like he got everything from Taobao. The next day, Liu Jie received a call from the fashion editor, and his resources were all gone.

Gu Xie intercepted Yan Jianming’s filming resources, and Shen Qianshu was also able to cancel out all of Yan Jianming’s fashion resources.

There were several variety shows on TV that Lin Xiaojuan had negotiated for. The only thing missing was the signing of the contract, and those were canceled too.

As a manager with rich experience, Liu Jie felt that things were unusual, and it was as if she could smell gunpowder in the air.

“Tell me honestly, what exactly is the problem between you and Gu Xie? If I know what the conflict is, I may find solutions to your problems.”

The fashion resources had been messed up by Shen Qianshu, but there was no hurry.

He was not a female celebrity, so he was not in a hurry to get any fashion resources. However, he could not lose his filming opportunities.

“Gu Xie and I really have nothing against each other.” Yan Jianming was also anxious. He did not think that things would get into such a serious state. Initially, he thought that he could control Shen Qianshu and Lin Xiaojuan and that Lin Xiaojuan would still obey his command to get him his role from Director Leng.

He never thought that he would lose all of his filming opportunities.

“It must be Lin Xiaojuan and Shen Qianshu. They must have made Tong Hua egg on Gu Xie.”

“Are you silly?” Liu Jie hollered. “Lin Xiaojuan and Shen Qianshu are just two powerless ladies. Lin Xiaojuan may have a huge circle, but it is only limited to the directors, producers, and filming. She can’t even get to the senior leaders in some financial groups. Shen Qianshu is also a grass-roots leveled appraiser. Even if she’s dating our boss, he’s having a business meeting overseas, and he can’t deal with the things here right now. How could Lin Xiaojuan and Shen Qianshu make you lose everything within a few days? The only person who could do all this is Gu Xie!”

Liu Jie continued. “Who is Gu Xie? All these years, people only had good things to say about him. He never offended anyone and kept his distance. The things in the entertainment industry have never had anything to do with him. Tong Hua had only acted with him in a movie once and gone on some shows together. Do you think that Tong Hua could incite Gu Xie to tear you down at the expense of his good reputation? ”

He did not seem to understand even such simple logic. Yet, he pushed all the blame onto Lin Xiaojuan and Shen Qianshu. Liu Jie was really mad. After all, Yan Jianming was supposed to be her money tree. She wanted to beat Lin Xiaojuan so badly and had to find a way to deal with the aftermaths of this disaster.

Chapter 276: What Kind Of Crush Is That?

“There are really no conflicts between me and Gu Xie!” Yan Jianming was in a terrible fix. “Liu Jie, look for Gu Xie in his office. We are willing to settle this matter peacefully, and I’m fine with using money to settle it too.”

“I’ve sent some words to Gu Xie’s office thrice and even treated Xu Ning to a meal personally. Gu Xie ignored you. Xu Ning is really strict and did not even leak a single piece of information. Who do you think Gu Xie is? You want to use money to settle things? He makes more money in a month than you did in all these years combined. Would he want your money?”

Liu Jie was anxious too.

Yan Jianming was filled with anger after being spoken to by Liu Jie in such a manner. After all, he was a ‘little fresh meat’ celebrity. Who was she, a mere manager, to insult him like this? “Liu Jie, if you’re useless, tell me earlier. Don’t push all the blame on me. Lin Xiaojuan had never spoken to me like this.”

Liu Jie laughed. “Seems like Lin Xiaojuan has spoiled you. Yan Jianming, remember. Managers can make you popular, but they can screw you up too.”

Yan Jianming felt a chill run down his spine. Liu Jie said coolly, “Alright, let’s not cause internal conflicts. If you have nothing against Gu Xie, he would not have insulted you for no reason. Tell me honestly, what are you hiding from me? If you say it, we can salvage the situation. Otherwise, nobody can help you.”

Yan Jianming initially did not wish to expose the situation about him and Lin Xiaojuan. Lin Xiaojuan’s managing team was deadly loyal to her, so this incident had not been leaked in the slightest bit, and this was the end of the matter. However, he vaguely felt that he could not get away from Lin Xiaojuan. Furthermore, at a time when he was feeling extremely desolate, Tong Hua received a high-priced contract, and he was green-eyed.

Yan Jianming told her everything about his relationship with Lin Xiaojuan honestly.

Liu Jie was shocked.

In Gu Xie’s office.

Gu Xie bit his lip and rubbed his eyebrows. Xu Ning sat by the side. “Sixth Master, this is the fourth time Liu Jie is sending in some words to ask you to speak to them.”

“No.” Gu Xie sounded cold. He unbuttoned his top button, and his actions were really alluring. He gave off cool vibes which made people feel that it was chilling.

Xu Ning said, “I’ve messed up one of Yan Jianming’s filming contracts. As for the others, someone seems to be ruining things secretly. It was done really privately, and it seems like it has a lot to do with AG entertainment. Should we continue investigating?”

“No. The enemies of our enemies are our friends.” Gu Xie replied coldly. He did not care about who had attacked Yan Jianming.

“But Yan Jianming and Liu Jie think that you are the mastermind. That might bring you hate.”

“Great!”

Xu Ning was speechless. What’s great?! What is good for being used as the person behind a gun for no reason? The person who dealt with Yan Jianming is obviously deliberately guiding Yan Jianming and Liu Wei, and the person must hate Gu Xie.

Gu Xie bit his lip. “No matter who it is, this is the predicted conclusion. Xu Ning, you have to reflect on yourself. Other people did it better than you!”

Xu Ning broke into a cold sweat suddenly and did not dare to speak up.

“Sixth Master, I have something else too. Shouldn’t we expose the relationship between Lin Xiaojuan and Yan Jianming to divert attention?”

Gu Xie squinted, and the temperature in the room lowered drastically. In his distant, cold eyes, there was frost. “Xu Ning, SAY THAT AGAIN!”

Being stared at by him like that, Xu Ning was about to go on his knees.

“Sixth Master, even if we don’t announce it, Liu Jie would take the opportunity to use this incident to plead for help for Yan Jianming.”

Gu Xie clenched his fist slightly and said, “Get out.”

Xu Ning was so pressurized that he could not catch his breath. He left the office, and a scary prediction came into his mind.

Could Sixth Master have a crush on… Xiaojuan…?

What the flying f*ck!!!
