Chapter 456 - 456: Great Xia’s Number One Agent! Regret (3)
Historians scoured all the records but failed to discover the name of Emperor
Yin.
In the five thousand years of the Great Xia, no emperor had ever left without a trace of his name.
Speculation was rife.
Some even suggested that Emperor Yin had ordered all historians not to record his name, fearing that future generations would remember his tyranny.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiheng fell silent for a moment.
After a long pause, he said indifferently, “Because he never had a name.”
Si Fuqing was taken aback, “No name?”
“He was the ninth son of the previous emperor, abandoned outside the palace at birth, not even given a baby name,” Yu Xiheng said coolly. “Picked up by the abbot of a temple, even though he was a castaway, the temple folks dared not name him casually, hence they simply called him ‘Nine.”‘
“After he returned to the palace, no one called him by his name, and no one thought he would ascend to the throne.” Si Fuqing’s gaze gradually hardened.
Before, no one cared about his name.
Afterward, no one dared to speak his name directly.
Yu Xiheng met her eyes and smiled, “So, having a name or not doesn’t matter anymore.”
“Is that so…” Si Fuqing nodded, “This perspective is quite novel, not many historians have proposed it.”
Yu Xiheng brushed a petal off himself, raising an eyebrow imperceptibly,
“Simple analysis.”
Si Fuqing gave a thumbs up, “Boss, you really are capable of anything.”
Yu Xiheng hummed, “How much?”
Si Fuqing paused, then realized what he meant, raising her hand, “120% of sincerity!”
Indeed, being with the Black-hearted Monster, one must always be wary of their verbal traps.
Thinking she could be easily fooled was out of the question.
In the afternoon, Tianle Media released an announcement online.
[@TianleMediaV: In response to recent comments about our company online, we wish to state that Ms. Si Fuqing’s announcements are managed by our agent Feng Peizhi. We have investigated and found that she indeed engaged in many unfair and despicable actions during this period and have dismissed her to demonstrate our company’s integrity.]
This announcement indeed quelled much of the controversy, and the critical public opinion gradually subsided.
But netizens are not so easily deceived.
[Those who know, know. It’s all just a ploy, sacrificing one to take the blame.] [But Feng Peizhi really is no good, she got what she deserved!]
[Feng Peizhi is truly pitiful, abandoned by Si Fuqing and her personally cultivated Meng Xue, now jobless, haha, all alone, probably full of regret.]
Feng Peizhi learned about Meng Xue’s contract termination from her colleagues.
More anxious than Manager Luo, she immediately booked a flight to find Meng
Xue.
“Mengmeng, how could you terminate the contract?” Feng Peizhi couldn’t accept it, “Mengmeng, I admit I was wrong to Si Fuqing, but don’t you know how I treated you? The role of the fifth female lead in ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’ was all thanks to me!”
“Ah, Feng Peizhi, let’s not mention the fifth female lead in ‘Crossing the Demon Realm’.” Before Meng Xue could speak, a middle-aged man beside her interrupted, “After the incident at your company, Director Tang was so angry he immediately wanted Meng Xue to leave. It was only after I negotiated that she was allowed to stay. The contract was signed with us, it has nothing to do with you.”
Feng Peizhi staggered, her face turning ashen, “Mengmeng…”
“Do you ever get tired?” Meng Xue was visibly impatient. “I’ve terminated my contract with Tianle Media as well, and you’re not my agent anymore. Why do you still want to control me?
It was a lesson Meng Xue had learned from Feng herself: to kick away the useless.
Feng Peizhi trembled with rage.
She had given her all to Meng Xue, only to be treated this way in the end.
“Meng Xue, you ingrate!” Feng Peizhi’s fingers shook, “I have your photos! If you don’t want to ruin your reputation, you’ll find me a job, or else I’ll drag you down with me even if it kills me!”
Meng Xue’s expression turned cold, “Brother Zhou.”
“Feng Peizhi, we’re all in this industry together, let’s not make things too ugly,” Brother Zhou stepped forward, signaling to two assistants, “As for the photos, it’d be better to destroy them. And really, you were too foolish to come here alone. ”
Before Feng Peizhi could utter another threat, she was muffled and carried away by the assistants.
Meng Xue massaged her temples and followed Brother Zhou to the new company.
On the way, she saw an advertisement featuring Si Fuqing and clenched her fists subconsciously.
“Do you see her as a threat?” Brother Zhou noticed, “There’s no need, really. It’s true that landing a luxury brand endorsement is tough, but she just got lucky by saving someone. How far can luck take her on talent alone?”
“Besides, now she has no company and no agent, just a lone commander. How can she continue her career?”
Initially, Brother Zhou had his sights on Si Fuqing, but he eventually gave up.
She truly was too rebellious.
It was as if the RM publicity slogan had been written for her.
Unbowed and unyielding.
Yet, in the vast melting pot of the entertainment industry, even the toughest bones eventually break.
Entering the company, the first floor was bustling.
Meng Xue caught a glimpse of a tall woman, who disappeared into a private elevator before she could see clearly.
“That’s Teacher Tong Luoyun,” Brother Zhou pointed out, “I’ll arrange for you
to meet her.”
Meng Xue nodded.
She was well aware of Tong Luoyun’s standing in the film industry.
The foremost among the four leading actresses.
She had won all three major domestic movie awards and was now advancing into the international entertainment industry.
It was rumored she had landed a role in a big-budget sci-fi movie by Glenn.
Though just a supporting role, it was already far beyond her peers.
“She was discovered by that person,” Brother Zhou shook his head, “Such a pity, after the film emperor committed suicide,”
Meng Xue paused, “Who?”
“The one once hailed as the greatest agent in Great Xia, Sang Yanqing!” Brother Zhou counted on his fingers, “Let me tell you about the stars she’s managed. Not to mention Tong Luoyun, the grand slam film emperor who was just a step away from the Glenn Award.”
“And there are two others, pillars of the film industry. Truly remarkable.” Meng Xue engraved the name Sang Yanqing in her memory.
She continued to acquaint herself with the new company alongside Brother Zhou.
A few agents just happened to come out from the pantry, talking excitedly.
“Did you say Sister Sang is taking on someone? She’s actually making a comeback? Who could possibly persuade her?”
“It’s been six years since Sister Sang vanished from the entertainment scene, along with her legends.”
“Her discerning eye is legendary; not many can catch her attention, but those who do, at the very least, turn out like Tong Luoyun.”
Brother Zhou was also surprised, “Sang Yanqing is back? Who is she managing?
“Brother Zhou,” one of the agents greeted him, “Yes, Sister Sang is back. We should be notified soon, wait and see. She’s bound to make a big splash..”
