Chapter 49: Best Manager

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

[Wei Shanshan: Ah…! Xiangxiang! Xiangxiang! Paging Xiangxiang! You actually became my dream guy’s junior!]

[Yi Yan: [🤔] I am starting to doubt my life ]

[Fang Nanyuan: Can you teach me how to hack my life, Sister Xiang?]

Shoving the bombshell the trio in the Four Seasons group felt aside, Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know that Huan Yu Century Entertainment would let the agent of Xue Yu, who was the boss among agents, to take her under his wing.

She did sign an S-class contract after all. The corresponding agent would have to be a gold-tier agent. However, He Wei was a platinum-tier agent. She still wanted to be an actress under Wen Lan like she was in her previous life.

Wen Lan lost Hua Xiangrong and Lu Huanong. She needed some pillars to support her. Wen Lan also had outstanding abilities. Other ace-tier agents more or less had a few actors that acted as pillars.

Wen Lan was the default choice as Huan Yu Century Entertainment didn’t want their actors to fight each other and to show their sincerity. She didn’t mention Wen Lan intentionally to avoid Huan Yu Entertainment getting suspicious of it.

However, it was quite unexpected that Huan Yu Century Entertainment would give her such a great deal!

Xue Yu’s agent, He Wei, was He Zhen’s nephew. His parents died when he was young. He grew up under He Zhen’s care. He entered Huan Yu Century Entertainment once he came back from studying overseas.

He chose to be an agent instead of being a manager. He worked his way up from the bottom until platinum-tier and managed to create Xue Yu. Xue Yu became the star of Huan Yu Century Entertainment as well as a legend in the entertainment industry.

“Xiangxiang! Xiangxiang! You became Almighty Xue’s [1] junior, you know that?!” Yun Xiangxiang received Song Meng’s call once she finished shooting. Song Meng was so pumped up even her voice was trembling.

That was Xue Yu. She didn’t even feel that she had the right to chase after such a god.

But now her good friend was so near the Almighty Xue. Wouldn’t this mean that she would be able to meet Almighty Xue himself in the future? She almost fainted of euphoria just at the thought of this.

“Xiangxiang! Xiangxiang! I wanna be your assistant! Assistant…!” Song Meng screamed.

Yun Xiangxiang promptly hung her up. She was going to call He Shen to put him through the wringer, but someone from Beijing called her before that.

A baritone voice rang out after she pressed the accept button. “He Wei here. I’ll be responsible for you from now on.”

It was a simple and direct declaration. Yun Xiangxiang didn’t even know how to continue. She saw He Wei in her previous life. He was domineering and did whatever he wanted.

Yun Xiangxiang took a deep breath before saying, “I’ll be in your care from now on.”

He laughed almost imperceptibly, “Excellent. You did not disappoint me. Now tell me the criteria that you want in your assistant.”

“Cooks well; hardworking; it is alright if the assistant isn’t bright.” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t mince her words.

People like He Wei disliked dawdling and being vague.

“I will wait for you at the great hall in the hotel where you live at eleven thirty.” He Wei left this announcement before he hung up.

Yun Xiangxiang massaged her forehead while listening to the busy tone in the phone.

It was true that He Wei’s ability was great. However, Yun Xiangxiang really didn’t want to be an actress under him.

Heaven knows how he tortured Xue Yu to mold him into everyone’s Prince Charming. True, she wanted a challenge and she would work hard. However, she didn’t think she would be able to keep up with He Wei.

“Xiangxiang, how dare you hang up on me!” Song Meng complained.

“Forget about being my assistant.” Yun Xiangxiang told her feebly. “He Wei wouldn’t choose you.”

He Wei was uncompromising about the things he did and the people around him. The assistant he chose for Xue Yu knew how to do almost everything.

Song Meng, who hadn’t even entered university yet, wouldn’t be chosen. She might not be chosen even if she already graduated from university. That was because Song Meng was utterly incompetent in Xue Yu’s eyes.

“Not just assistant, you might even lose your position as president.” Yun Xiangxiang said resignedly.

He Wei had an iron grip on the actors. He wouldn’t interfere in their private lives. He would cover everything up even if Yun Xiangxiang created a scandal involving underage love. She just needed to inform him or the actors under him and it would be settled.

However, everyone must listen to him when it came to official business. Even with Xue Yu’s current position, Hua Xiangrong still bumped into him getting chastised by He Wei two years ago.

There was only one statement for the actors under He Wei: Be happy and be in pain.

“Uwah…” Song Meng’s agitated heart finally cooled down, “Xiangxiang, you can’t do this to me.”

“I’ll try to keep your position as president…” Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t bear to hear her cry.

She wasn’t his appendage even if she was an actress under him. They should be on the same position. Negotiation should be possible.

Yun Xiangxiang comforted Song Meng before logging into Weibo. The number of her fans was soaring. Her Weibo page was filled with mostly Xue Yu’s fans. Most of the comments were: Hello, junior.

Her fans were thrilled. Some even became overly familiar and started interacting with Xue Yu’s fans.

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t have any idea how to reply to both her seniors. She couldn’t not respond either. So she reposted their statuses and gave them a heart react.

She couldn’t betray herself and call her their fans. She couldn’t fawn over them either.

Yun Xiangxiang entered the Four Seasons group after handling the affairs on Weibo.

[The news reached me just now too. I did sign a contract with Huan Yu Century Entertainment. Didn’t expect them to assign He Wei as my agent. I am quite flattered now.]

[Wei Shanshan: Then this isn’t something you asked for. So that means that’s how much Huan Yu Century Entertainment values you! Please leave something for the rest of us.]

[Yi Yan: I’m already desensitized. Anyway, He Wei isn’t someone Huan Yu Century Entertainment can arrange at their whim. He probably wanted to be Xiangxiang’s agent by his own volition.]

[Fang Nanyuan: En, He Wei’s status is different. Huan Yu Century Entertainment doesn’t have the ability to force him anymore.]

Yun Xiangxiang knew this. He Wei never used his status as He Zhen’s nephew in the company. He was in the position he had today because he developed Xue Yu.

It was because of his capability that Huan Yu Century Entertainment couldn’t force him to take Yun Xiangxiang under his wing. Then something about her must have appealed to him.

Yun Xiangxiang was quite curious herself. That was why she asked He Wei directly the first time they met, “Why did you choose me?”

He Wei was older than Xue Yu by less than a year. He was only thirty-five this year. He was a striking man with bold features. Nobody would suspect it even if someone said he was twenty-five or twenty-six.

He answered Yun Xiangxiang’s question honestly, “I can see your future.”

He Wei was already aware of her since she established the rules for her fans. She had personality. Someone like this was worth nurturing by his own hands.

“And I just so happen to have a spot for an actress.” He Wei added

The actors and actresses have different resources. There wouldn’t be a lot of conflicts.

He Wei had been in the business for many years. He had a broad network and abundant resources. However, most of them couldn’t be used by Xue Yu. It would be better to nurture an actress than wasting it.
