Tian Juan gazed at Wen Nian earnestly. “And I’m helping you not for any return; I genuinely believe in you. I always want to do something for the young actors I like. Besides, I heard that you donated to left-behind children. The entertainment industry needs conscientious and responsible stars like you.”
Tian Juan’s words were artful. Despite some flattery, everything she said was based on real situations, making it hard to dislike her.
“I know you prioritize your studies right now, but I’ve heard that you’re looking for past exam papers from the Film Academy.” Tian Juan quickly took out a file from her bag. “Here is a part of what I’ve organized. I believe it will be helpful for you.”
She then took out her phone. “For some video materials, can we exchange WeChat and I’ll send them to you? In the future, if there’s any exam-related news, I can inform you. Just focus on your studies, and I’ll keep you updated on any developments.”
Wen Nian watched her series of actions, genuinely impressed. She had only discussed the idea of participating in the art exam with Xu Chang, yet Tian Juan, still a small assistant, managed to subtly discern her intentions.
Moreover, she swiftly organized the materials and proactively added Wen Nian on WeChat. No wonder she was a top-tier agent in her past life.
Almost instinctively, Wen Nian took out her phone and added Tian Juan on WeChat.
It was only then that she came back to her senses. “I still have to take the college entrance exam, and I haven’t agreed to sign with you.”
“I know, what’s wrong with not signing?” Tian Juan smiled and said, “Consider it as a small favor. Anyway, since you’re going to take the art exam, just think of me as a messenger.”
Tian Juan had a simple and honest appearance, and even when she smiled, she looked easy-going, making people feel at ease.
But Wen Nian knew the person’s capabilities in her past life. She could single-handedly challenge agents from several companies with the artists she managed. It was said that she could make people have heart attacks just by scolding them without using dirty words.
Just as Wen Nian was about to say goodbye, Tian Juan looked at her phone and exclaimed, “Oh, this… this netizen says my answer sheet is fake.”
She looked apologetically at Wen Nian. “I was too eager to clarify things for you. I’ll quickly post the video of me going to the education bureau to find the answer sheet yesterday. I recorded a short segment and took a few photos.”
Wen Nian watched as Tian Juan immediately began searching for yesterday’s video, muttering to herself while searching, “Fortunately, I impulsively recorded the video at that time; otherwise, it would be really hard to explain.” “Wait a moment!” Wen Nian interrupted her.
Tian Juan looked at her in confusion.
Only then did Wen Nian speak, “You’re not my official agent, right? You privately asked someone to find the answer sheet for me, right? Using unofficial channels?”
Tian Juan nodded innocently. “I have a senior in the education bureau, and I asked him for help. He also found some colleagues, and even some security personnel who were off-duty that day came to help. Otherwise, how could we have found the answer sheet?”
Upon hearing this, Wen Nian’s heart sank halfway. She sighed, “This matter is not easy to handle.”
Seeing Tian Juan’s still puzzled expression, Wen Nian explained, “You entered the education bureau through unofficial channels and privately found my answer sheet. This is considered irregular. Even if it proves my scores, all the people who helped you yesterday, including the person who found the answer sheets and the security personnel, will be implicated.”
“Normally, there are many who seek favors from the education bureau, but when it comes to such matters, if it’s not reported, the officials won’t investigate. But just look at the current discussion.”
Tian Juan lowered her head and fiddled with her phone. Indeed, many people were saying that Wen Nian violated the rules by asking someone to find her answer sheet at the education bureau. Some even speculated that the education bureau intentionally fabricated the results after taking money from Wen Nian.
Wen Nian watched as Tian Juan’s face turned pale, and her hands trembled slightly. She sighed, “Or else, I can find a lawyer and say that I entrusted you to investigate this matter. But that might not work either. We didn’t follow official channels, and all those people might still face consequences.”
“What do we do then?” Tian Juan became anxious, pacing in the teacher’s office. “My senior just had their second child at home. He can’t afford to lose his job, or it would be a huge problem for me. And those security personnel from yesterday were just trying to help.”
Wen Nian lowered her head; this situation was indeed difficult. Meanwhile, the urgent tone of Tian Juan’s voice echoed in her ears.
Thinking about Ding Sheng, a large company, and someone like Tian Juan, a top-notch agent, Wen Nian suddenly made up her mind. Since she had decided to pursue this path, joining Ding Sheng seemed like a favorable choice.
Wen Nian took a deep breath and then grabbed Tian Juan’s hand. “Then, for the time being, consider yourself my agent..”
