Song Yuan stated candidly, "Her agent must be regretting it right now."
Nuomi nodded vigorously, "Absolutely, they must be kicking themselves! They didn't appreciate those with genuine interest, but the ones they liked are still on the fence! In the end, they might not get anyone!"
Xia Weiliang's eyes lit up, "Then I'll take on this 'self-amusing pot' endorsement!"
Talking about money was too vulgar, and prestige wasn't important!
As long as she could irk Xia Yiran, her heart would be at ease!
"Are you sure?" Ji Huan asked. "I'm here to discuss it with you. After all, for your first endorsement, it's best to align with your image. This is for long-term development planning..."
Xia Weiliang waved her hand dismissively.
"It fits! It fits perfectly! Food is paramount to the people, and this is like ascending to the heavens in one step!"
Song Yuan clicked his tongue twice. "You're really going all out to annoy Xia Yiran."
Little Nuomi clenched her small fists. "Sister Wei Wei, you go for it! Let's show them by reaching for the sky!" Su Dan Novel Network
Ji Huan chuckled. "Alright, since you don't object, I'll talk to them."
Then she changed the subject. "I've seen the online revelations. They're so targeted and concentrated; it's clear they're aimed at you. I'll investigate later and find out which scoundrel is behind this."
All three looked at her with admiration.
Let's get to know her again—Sister Huan, fierce and to the point.
Xia Weiliang's spirits immediately drooped a little. "It's nothing to me; I'm used to being laughed at. But if it affects Director Zhou and the movie's reputation, then I'll be truly guilty."
"Then work hard and show them!" Ji Huan said coldly. "An artist can only go the distance by speaking through their work! Instead of worrying here, it's better to buckle down and throw your achievements in their faces!"
"Yes!"
Xia Weiliang was instantly energized, lifting her head. "Just you wait and see! I will definitely prove myself with my strength!"
Ji Huan nodded. "Mm, don't be afraid, just forge ahead." She then turned to Nuomi. "Contact the public relations department to monitor public opinion, and prepare a few more articles. The key is to avoid discussing acting."
"Okay."
Xia Weiliang: "..."
Just smile. Beautiful girls never surrender!
Ji Huan looked up again. "As for your rumored scandal with Actor Xiao..."
"Sister Huan! We are innocent!"
Ji Huan gave her a sideways glance. "What use is it if I believe it? The fans need to believe it! You really don't learn your lesson, have you forgotten the incident with Yimi pulling hair last time?"
Any other agent would be ecstatic right now.
A scandal with a top actor meant what?
Hype!
Which translated to real money!
However, Ji Huan didn't like it, nor did she like her artists engaging in such things. This was why Xia Weiliang had been cooperating with her for so long.
Xia Weiliang muttered softly, "How could I dare~"
"Same as before, Actor Xiao's public relations team is there to be used, so let them handle this. Brother Jun would never let the rumors fester."
Nuomi and Song Yuan both gave Ji Huan a thumbs-up. Sister Huan was truly a master of saving money!

Yiyou Entertainment.
Lian Jun lay on the sofa, a bandage on his head and his hand clutching his chest protector, fumbling on the coffee table with a trembling hand.
Da Yang couldn't bear to watch and proactively handed him the small magnetic bottle of heart-relief pills.
Lian Jun trembled as he took out two pills and put them in his mouth, crunching them.
Yan Zhi, sitting opposite him, said with concern, "Brother Jun, eating too much sugar at your age isn't good; it can lead to high blood sugar."
Lian Jun glared at him. "You just keep provoking me until I die!"
Yan Zhi shrunk back. "Brother Jun, you're wrongly accusing me. I'm not the one involved in the scandal..."
Lian Jun looked up at the person leaning against the single sofa.
Xiao Yi propped his head with one hand, his other hand holding his phone, his fingertips sliding up and down, completely ignoring Lian Jun's words.
"It's over, it's over..."
Lian Jun sat up abruptly. "Brother Yi! What exactly do you want? You cause scandals and trending searches for me every few days. Have you forgotten what you said before? As an actor, you need to maintain an air of mystery and not over-expose yourself! And what's the result? Look how tired the public relations department is! Manager Tu, at such a young age, already has such a concerning amount of hair loss. Yesterday, I saw his head... it was so shiny it could reflect light!"
Xiao Yi put down his phone. "Is that why you called me to the company?"
"Is this a small matter?"
Lian Jun, agitated, tore off his headscarf and stood up. "Tell me, what's going on between you and Xia Weiliang?"
Yan Zhi's eyes brightened.
Come on, let's hear Brother Yi's excuse!
Xiao Yi looked up, his deep gaze capable of captivating anyone with just a glance. "What you see."
"What I see?" Lian Jun was a little bewildered.
He turned to Yan Zhi, who shrugged helplessly.
Looking at him was useless; if the boss told him the truth, he wouldn't be the boss.
"Hiss~"
Lian Jun understood something and immediately perked up.
"You rascal..."
Xiao Yi, however, raised his wrist to check the time. "It's my first scene this afternoon."
Yan Zhi quickly called out to Da Yang, "Let's go!"
"Wait!"
Lian Jun strode over to block him, pushed down his glasses, the lenses flashing, reflecting countless sharp lights. He stared at his idol actor with a smile that wasn't quite a smile and suddenly asked, "Why Xia Weiliang?"
Xiao Yi, one hand in his pocket, idly played with his phone, his dark eyes casually glancing at Lian Jun, a smile playing on his lips as he raised an eyebrow. "Why can't it be her?"
"!"
Lian Jun laughed.
He turned and walked back. "Alright, go ahead. You two need to take good care of our Brother Yi. Alas, he's taken now~"
Da Yang didn't understand and quietly asked Yan Zhi, "Who's taken?"
"...Alas, to be honest, Da Yang, did you get in through connections back then?"
Yi Xiao Jun, worthy of being the industry's number one agent.
Within half a day, he had the public opinion completely managed. A promotional article about the actor's seven years in the industry suddenly appeared! He also launched a fan appreciation event and used his public account to compile a highlight reel of the actor's career, subtly implying that Brother Yi's success was the result of hard work and dedication.
In other words, dating? No time.
The Yi Mi fans were all sharp as knives; they immediately understood the intention behind this move and arranged forwarding comments and essays!
Hearing that it was the actor's seventh anniversary, which junior dared to be neglectful? They flocked to offer congratulations, making it seem as though Xiao Yi was about to retire honorably tomorrow!
Xia Weiliang was caught in the middle. As a definite junior, it would be too impolite not to offer her congratulations. But with countless eyes watching, if she spoke out, who knew how it would be misinterpreted!
At this critical moment, the Tie family was the most reliable!
As if guessing her predicament, someone in the Tie family group tagged her.
Unexpectedly, it was Director Song, who had changed his name to "Tie Song"!
【Tie Song @ All Tie Brothers: In this golden autumn season, we welcome Teacher Xiao's seventh anniversary in the industry. On behalf of the program team and the Tie family, I extend our warmest congratulations!】
A few people saw it and understood.
Operation initiated!
Cheng Ge took the lead, tagging and forwarding Xiao Yi's studio's congratulatory post as the patriarch of the Tie family.
【Wishing Teacher Xiao many happy returns and a prosperous future! - Tie Family · Tie Tou Cheng】
Below, Sister Hua forwarded it.
【Congratulations to Teacher Xiao on his eternal reign and dominance of the martial world! - Tie Family · Fu Gui respectfully presents】
The mascot Rui Rui followed closely behind the main group.
【My idol, Brother Yi, is the greatest! Sending hearts~ - Tie Family · General respectfully presents】
Xia Weiliang, having found an excuse, immediately forwarded and sent her blessings as a member of the Tie family.
【Learning from Teacher Xiao! - Tie Family · Niang Zi bows in respect】
After posting on Weibo, Xia Weiliang returned to the group chat and sent everyone a full set of emoticons made by her fans using her short video. She crossed her hands, sending hearts, and captioned it, "Thanks, dear brothers."
Some things didn't need to be said; those who understood would understand.
【Tie Tou Cheng: Thanks for what! If there's any more excitement like this in the future, remember to call me!】
【Fu Gui: Old Song is quite surprising.**】
【Tie Song: ...】
【Tie General: Ahhhhh! I'm gone! Ahhh】
Xia Weiliang smiled, lounging in the lazy sofa in the living room, typing.
【Tie Niang Zi: The child is crazy again, save the child!】
Rui Rui replied instantly.
【Tie General: He noticed me! Sister Niang Zi, Brother Yi noticed me!!】
