After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family

Chapter 122

"What do you think about Yu Rouyin?" Pei Mingxuan asked bluntly.

Ji Fei was taken aback. [Why are so many people asking me about Yu Rouyin today?]

In the restaurant, the originally lively dining atmosphere suddenly quieted down due to Ji Fei's inner thoughts.

Qin Xian was already quiet, while Qin's Mom and Qin Rong were eager for gossip.

Ji Fei expressed confusion, "Have you heard about what happened to me today?"

Pei Mingxuan was surprised, "What?"

So she hadn't heard.

Since it was related to the entertainment industry, Ji Fei decided to explain the situation to her new manager just to be safe.

She didn't mention anything she knew through the Gossip System, but she did express her general attitude, "I think there must be a misunderstanding between them. After all, when I asked Madam Zong for evidence, she couldn't provide any and just kept cursing."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard laughter erupting from the other end of the phone.

"She actually... actually tried to threaten you to help... Hahaha, that Ladies' Club, still as arrogant as ever. They must have been terrified by your status. I wish I had been there, hahaha."

Well, it seemed Pei was also a gossip enthusiast. After laughing for a while, Pei Mingxuan became serious.

"It looks like Madam Zong is going to target Yu Rouyin. No wonder she was in such a hurry to find me. Zong Chun must have expressed his desire to be with Yu Rouyin, and she knows she has no way out. So she wants to find a backer, which is why she chose us."

Ji Fei: "Huh?"

Pei Mingxuan explained directly: "We had exchanged contact information before. Today she contacted me, expressing her desire to join our studio."

[What! She wants to join our studio?]

The Qin family members all looked over in surprise.

"Her contract with her previous company is about to expire, so she either needs to renew or find a new agency. She originally wanted to use this show to prove her acting skills and find a new home for herself."

"She probably hadn't considered us before, since everyone knows that Qin Zhao's studio only serves him. But then you came along, and they headhunted me, plus with that couple's aggressive behavior, she decided to take a gamble."

Pei Mingxuan stopped here, seemingly not wanting to say more, and said, "I called you to ask for your opinion. But..."

Ji Fei was a bit surprised and said, "Sister Pei, didn't you have the right to decide on signing artists when you signed your contract? Why are you asking me?"

Pei Mingxuan was truly amused by Ji Fei's lack of airs.

Gao Hao and Qin Zhao had actually hinted to her that Ji Fei would be the next boss of the studio. Even if she had decision-making power, she should still ask for the boss's opinion.

But this artist might not only slack off as an artist in the future, but probably find being a boss troublesome as well.

Pei Mingxuan explained, "Since we'd be artists in the same studio, we naturally hope for a harmonious relationship. If you dislike her, I definitely won't sign her."

Ji Fei smiled and said, "How could I? I'm not even familiar with her, how could I dislike her?"

"In this industry, at least 90% of female artists who aren't familiar with her dislike her."

This was something Ji Fei had learned from reading gossip.

Excluding those messy persona rumors, most female artists don't like Yu Rouyin when they see her and instinctively avoid her, not wanting to be associated with her.

There's no other reason, just her looks.

There are many types of beautiful women, and Yu Rouyin's beauty is the most troublesome kind.

It's the kind of beauty that men find seductive and women find aggressive. With eyes like silk and an inherently alluring nature, she's like a ripe fruit.

Without enough strength, background, or status.

Most men want to sleep with her rather than love her, and most women will first judge her with malice.

The most representative incident was on a show.

The same clothes worn by other female artists looked modest, but when worn by her with one button undone, a middle-aged male host blurted out without thinking: "If Ms. Yu were standing next to me in this outfit, I'd be worried the police would come to arrest me."

The implication was clear to everyone present, so they all burst into laughter.

Yu Rouyin's expression was flawless. She feigned anger on the spot and made self-deprecating jokes to save face.

But the male host, as if possessed, immediately brought up a game of riding a fake horse, though it's unclear if this was intentionally set up by the production team.

When other female guests rode, they could at least say something about looking gallant, but when Yu Rouyin got on, as the fake horse started to bounce, various laughs and indescribable expressions emerged.

Yu Rouyin seemed not to notice and completed the game.

But she was sarcastically commented on by a female guest present: "Oh my, we don't need to compete anymore, we've definitely lost to Ms. Yu."

Just from this one show, you can see the kind of malice Yu Rouyin typically faces.

Her videos are also heavily edited, and she definitely attracts the most hate in the Chinese entertainment industry. But with these also come heat and power.

As Ji Fei was thinking about this, she heard Pei Mingxuan say, "However, since Madam Zong is determined to ruin her reputation, let's forget about it."

Actually, after Yu Rouyin contacted her, she had discussed it with Gao Hao, given Yu Rouyin's special circumstances.

Gao Hao actually didn't agree with signing her. Yu Rouyin had too much negative publicity and was a troublesome artist. Signing her might be more trouble than it's worth. Besides, you can't judge a book by its cover. He still hoped that the studio he left behind would be more stable.

Although Pei Mingxuan was interested in Yu Rouyin's acting skills and her ability to generate buzz through controversy, she was confident she could manage this artist well. It seemed like a good challenge, and Yu Rouyin had conceded on many conditions, which tempted Pei Mingxuan.

Knowing this woman's situation and understanding many inside stories, she was willing to lend a hand.

After all, she had also been helped by kind-hearted people to get through tough times. But with such a group of powerful people watching and wanting to destroy Yu Rouyin.

Pei Mingxuan had to weigh the pros and cons from a professional perspective. She couldn't lose rationality due to a bit of sympathy. After all, she was responsible for the studio and Ji Fei.

Pei Mingxuan was a bit disappointed inside and was about to end the call when she heard Ji Fei say, "Yu Rouyin hasn't done anything wrong, why would her reputation be ruined?"

Pei Mingxuan's heart skipped a beat as she recalled Ji Fei's previous actions. Her eyes lit up, "How do you know she hasn't done anything wrong?"

Ji Fei uncomfortably rubbed her nose, "If she really was flitting between men, how could she have no way out and have to come to us, to you?"

[Madam Zong has connections, but there are also quite a few powerful men who have been rumored to be involved with Yu Rouyin. If she was willing to seek help from those men, sell her beauty a bit, wouldn't she be able to find a good place?]

[Even if she came to us, according to the rumors about her outside, shouldn't she have approached Qin Zhao and Brother Gao first? Coming to Sister Pei, a strong woman, isn't it because she values Pei's focus on professionalism and potential?]

[So, she wants to rely on her abilities to secure her future.]

Qin's Mom and Qin Rong listened and immediately nodded, feeling that this made sense.

Pei Mingxuan smiled, "You're not wrong to consider it from this angle. Her demands for compensation and such when signing with us are very low, but she has only one special request."

"What is it?" Ji Fei asked curiously.

"No sleeping around."

Ji Fei's expression immediately changed.

The quiet private room became even quieter upon hearing this, as if even breathing had become lighter.

It was as if they could see a woman toyed with by fate seeking every possible way to save herself.
