After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God - Chapter 263

Chapter 263: Qjngqing is Making a Move, Termination of Contract! (2)

Translator: _Min_

Yun Lan was a myth, not to be treated as an ordinary existence.

The producer knew that Tianle Media had forbidden Si Fuqing from accepting any endorsements or scripts.

Her assignment as a dance mentor on “Youth With You” was intended to subject her to massive online backlash.

Despite her limited resources, Si Fuqing had turned a bad hand into a winning game.

“You’ve borne too much in this matter, Teacher Si,” the producer said with deep sympathy. “I’ll do my best to introduce you to resources. You’re bound to rise to fame!”

He and the director had seen her contributions to the show.

Si Fuqing slowly looked up, wondering if the producer had concocted some erroneous narrative.

“Please don’t,” she stopped him with a raised hand, “If I wanted to take on work, I would have already. By the way, for the finale, I’ve prepared dance costumes for my students, so the show doesn’t need to worry about that.” The producer nodded, “Alright, we’ll follow your lead, Teacher Si.” Si Fuqing stretched languidly, lost in thought.

She never counted on Qu Lingyun’s intelligence; a few words could easily deceive him.

But with Gu Wenzhu’s decision-making abilities, the moment Lan sent those two sets of dance costumes, Gu Wenzhu would immediately know her identity.

Old man was not so easily fooled.

Fortunately, he was laid-back and wouldn’t pressure her to work. If her identity was revealed, so be it.

Si Fuqing felt slightly better, gazing out the window at the clouds, her tranquility broken by the ring of her phone.

“Boss?” Si Fuqing answered.

“Mhmm,” Yu Xiheng’s voice came through, “The trending topic won’t drop, and your haters’ comments are being monitored.”

He paused, his voice, cool and pleasing, barely hinting at a smile, “Go ahead and do it.”

His five words were more powerful than a thousand.

Si Fuqing’s gaze steadied.

She bowed her head, echoes of a distant past resonating in her ears.

“Qingqing, go ahead and do it, we’re all behind you.”

Si Fuqing looked up, blinking softly.

But sister, you’re all gone now.

She had grown, but at the cost of losing everyone around her.

It was a price she never wanted to pay.

Si Fuqing clenched her fingers, feeling the tension in her muscles, then relaxed, her tone casual, “Boss, what about the photos from today’s fitting?

After a brief pause, photos arrived in her WeChat.

While viewing them, Si Fuqing commented, “Feng San’s photography skills are lacking, but luckily, boss, your looks and physique make up for it. You should dock his salary!”

“Exactly! I’m good at photography, but Uncle Nine won’t let me do it,” Yu Tang’s voice interrupted. “Qingqing, you should influence Uncle Nine more, buy him clothes, use his card, don’t hold back, he’s rich!”

Yu Xiheng spoke up, his mood indiscernible, ‘Yu Tang.”

Yu Tang quickly fled away, “Ah, I’m off to exercise, can’t hear anything.”

After the call, Si Fuqing saved the photos and rested a while before returning to the dance room to continue pushing Xu Xiyun.

The incident had blown up, with trending topics remaining high on the charts.

A commentator even posted.

[Do we cultivate stars to be manipulated by their agencies?]

The post had tens of thousands of shares and comments.

Feng Peizhi was summoned to the office by Manager Luo, again for matters related to Si Fuqing, causing her a headache.

“Have you heard?” Manager Luo spoke calmly, “It’s clear that you can’t control this artist. With her emotional intelligence, she’s not suited for the entertainment industry. She’ll offend many. It’s time to let go.”

Many in the industry maintained a straightforward persona, like Cen Xiaosi. But Si Fuqing’s actions weren’t straightforward; they were foolish.

Feng Peizhi’s heart sank, “What do you mean?”

“Aren’t there many endorsements and web drama scripts seeking her? After ‘Youth With You’, she has no other engagements, right?” Manager Luo pointed to the documents on the table, “These endorsements and the web drama, give them to her.”

Feng Peizhi took the two proposals, flipping through them.

One of the endorsements was for an affordable foreign makeup brand, quite popular in the domestic market.

However, recently, the brand’s director had posted remarks mocking the Great Xia Empire, leading to a boycott.

The previous celebrity endorser had quickly terminated the contract, earning praise from netizens.

The other was a low-budget web drama featuring dual female leads, a rare theme that had long been untouched within the industry, resulting in its prolonged shelving.

Both opportunities were fraught with risk, especially the former.

Anyone daring to accept this endorsement at such a time would completely ruin their public image.

Assigning damaging engagements to artists was a common tactic used by management companies to suppress their talents.

“Okay,” Feng Peizhi nodded, “I’ll take these two engagements for her.” Manager Luo waved her off, signaling that she could leave.

Feng Peizhi exited the office, her hands trembling with anger.

Meng Xue might not be as beautiful as Si Fuqing, but she was obedient and diligent in her studies.

Just recently, Meng Xue’s assistant had called to say that an experienced actor had praised Meng Xue’s potential.

Feng Peizhi decided to focus on Meng Xue, understanding Manager Luo’s intention.

After “Youth With You” ended, Si Fuqing would be completely sidelined.

Would any company in the entertainment industry sign Si Fuqing after she left Tianle Media?

Small companies wouldn’t dare, and larger ones like Shengxing Entertainment wouldn’t be interested.

Feng Peizhi, trying to calm herself, returned to her office.

On the way, she encountered a colleague.

The colleague smirked meaningfully, “Peizhi, your Si Fuqing is on the trending topics again. She really has a knack for making headlines. My artists are quite envious.”

Feng Peizhi forced a smile, “It’s not a good trending topic. There’s nothing to envy. I’m busy, so I won’t chat.”

Back in her office, Feng Peizhi located the phone numbers on the proposals and began arranging the endorsement deals.

Meanwhile, at Wangchuan Entertainment.

The CEO, after receiving feedback from Manager Luo, felt somewhat relieved but couldn’t resist scolding, “Old Luo, if you can’t even control your artists, how can the company grow? Do you want to be overshadowed by Shengxing Entertainment?”

“We’ll definitely collaborate on the web drama, and the female lead will be Meng Xue, no changes.”

The assistant knocked and entered, “President, there’s news from the show team. Xu Xiyun wants to terminate his contract.”

“Terminate? Who’s terminating it?” The CEO laughed, “Si Fuqing? If she had the power to terminate contracts, would she still be with Tianle Media?”

“She can barely protect herself, let alone others.”

The assistant chuckled, “I heard her breach of contract fees with Tianle Media are nearly ten digits. Besides, she values the ‘Youth With You’ show too much to terminate the contract.”

The CEO hummed noncommittally, “Alright, send someone to pack up Xu Xiyun’s belongings. Bring extra help. The withdrawal announcement has been made; he can’t stay in the training camp any longer.”

The assistant nodded in acknowledgement, but the thought of Si Fuqing left him unsettled.

He steadied his heartbeat, preparing to leave, when the door was knocked once more.

The CEO frowned, “Do you have an appointment?”

The woman, with a formulaic perfect smile, introduced herself, “Hello, I’m

Ling Feng from Xingting Law Firm.”

She placed a check on the table with deliberate calmness, her smile broadening, “This is one million. Miss Si requests that your company terminate Mr. Xu Xiyun’s contract within two days, or we’ll meet in court..”
