Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

Golden Agent of the Adonis (34)

Many people didn’t care about the lawyer’s letter and mocked her for making Chu Xiang endure such a horrible time even though the incident wasn’t her fault. Wow, it seemed like Zhou Yuan now understood how Chu Xiang felt then? The saying that ‘one wouldn’t know about pain unless the knife was impaled into the body’ was true, after all.

This kind of official statement was suggested by Zhou Yuan to make sure that she had the time to come up with a backup plan. After all, she had more than 20 years of experience when it came to maintaining a good reputation in the public eye, so there might be people who might believe in her and support her. Unexpectedly, there were only very few people who thought that way. The photos showed that Chen Lifeng and Chu Xiang were very close till at least 2 months ago. It didn’t take long for this matter to happen since then, so believing that Zhou Yuan was innocent or hadn’t been involved in this case was improbable.

Zhou Yuan’s mood fell to the deepest pits. Originally, this day should be the sweet anniversary of her public relationship. It should have been a wonderful night for her to spend happily, but in the end? The picture of Chen Lifeng and Chu Xiang showed that he had been lying to her while she was labeled as a mistress who wore the green hat. She was frustrated and sad, making her entire working condition worsen.

At this time, Chen Lifeng came to find Zhou Yuan in person despite her endless beating and scolding, begging her to calm down. Zhou Yuan loved him very much— otherwise, she wouldn’t be willing to disclose her relationship soon after falling in love with the position she was in. Back then, she was also very optimistic about Chen Lifeng’s future development, so she thought that they would be very happy as she considered what the future held for them.

Hence, even if she was very angry, after Chen Lifeng admitted his mistake in a low voice and swore that he only had eyes for her, Zhou Yuan’s attitude softened. After she knew that Chu Xiang needed the resources of ‘Extreme Mode’ in exchange for her cooperation to clarify the public matters, Zhou Yuan’s face turned green with anger!

“Why does she want ‘Extreme Mode’? How dare she?!”

Chen Lifeng sighed, a little depressedly, “I don’t want to give it to her either, but I have tried many methods and yet, I can’t seem to get in touch with her. She only has this one request and she refuses to settle for anything else. If it continues, it will have a great impact on my career. In fact, I have already lost an endorsement that I was discussing just now.”

He wiped his face, “Yuanyuan, it’s a variety show, so it’s still worth changing since I can still rely on acting skills. Besides, this is just a temporary change of MC as there are regular fans from the previous seasons. They might reject him as the new MC, so getting on these programs probably won’t guarantee them gaining any benefits. The most important thing we have to do now is not to let the label of that newbie be attached to us. Otherwise, we might not be able to tear it off our backs even in the span of a couple of years.”

Zhou Yuan asked unwillingly, “Were those photos sent by Chu Xiang?”

“She denied it, but I’m not too sure either. Maybe it’s done by other people who don’t like us or those who are competing with us for resources,” What Chen Lifeng didn’t mention was that the Chu Xiang he knew would not deliberately collect these photos, let alone arrange them in this manner and release them to the world for netizens to destroy him. All this seemed to be more similar to a move made by an enemy that had nothing but hatred for him, but now he just wanted to keep Zhou Yuan calm, not really wanting to mention Chu Xiang’s name in front of her.

Chen Lifeng was rather skilled in coaxing Zhou Yuan. In the end, Zhou Yuan used her connections in the entertainment industry to make Fang Zhenxuan the permanent MC of ‘Extreme Mode’.

The entertainment industry was huge, so there were a lot of resources up for grabs from all parties. I would have one form of resource whereas you had another in your hands. Sometimes, the good connections in my hands would not be beneficial to me, but the fair resources in your hands might happen to be suitable for me.

Chu Xiang and the others were in this exact situation. She was sure that the ‘Love’s Dream Journey’ that she arranged was a program that was meant for couples. Therefore, it could not be used by Fang Zhenxuan even if it was very popular. However, the ‘Extreme Mode’ variety show that had its MC changed by Zhou Yuan, was something that the duo couldn’t get their hands on even if they wanted to.

This plan seemed to be more similar to a replacement of resources.

However, the process made Chen Lifeng and Zhou Yuan’s teeth itch with hatred.

As soon as they discussed the terms, Chu Xiang immediately listened to the company’s arrangement and posted her viewpoint on Weibo.

[Xingchen Agent Chu Xiang V: After having a rest throughout the entire day, I feel better now. Thank you everyone for your concern, I will definitely take care of myself. Regarding my relationship with Chen Lifeng, I think it is necessary to solemnly explain that our relationship as an agent and an artist has been kept constant for 8 years as we are partners in the same industry. Just like everyone who once had good dormitory friends and good company colleagues, it is an irrefutable fact that most of them will drift away in the end.

Chen Lifeng and I didn’t agree on some ideas and our plans for the future have also been  inconsistent. It was the best solution for us to separate and switch for a better partner before starting again. I like my new partner very much—@FangZhenxuan. As for whether Chen Lifeng and I have an affair? Emmm, to be honest, I like handsome little brothers. Since Chen Lifeng is more of the mature type, he’s not my type.
