Chapter 164 Joining Hands With A New Ally
Chapter 164 Joining Hands With A New Ally
The next morning, Ran Xueyi saw Song Yu Han's reply and had a great morning to start with. She immediately called him while knowing that he was already awake at this hour and the two of them talked to each other for almost an hour before they tacitly hung up to not disturb each other's work.
Just as she prepared to head outside, the door was knocked. Ran Xueyi stared at the door with extreme vigilance after what happened last night. Thankfully, the person outside was not Director Zheng or Producer Luo.
A middle-aged woman and a young man were standing in front of the door. Once Ran Xueyi opened it, they introduced themselves to her.
"Hello..." The middle-aged woman stared at the tall and beautiful lady in front of her and was slightly surprised that Ran Xueyi's look never changed even after 6 years of no public appearance. "You look more photogenic than I thought."
"Sister Zhao." Ran Xueyi recognized her and made way for her to enter her room. "I am Ran Xueyi."
"I know. I've already investigated you before I came here." Zhao Fei walked into the room and was followed by her assistant. "This young lad here is my assistant, Feng Huai. We'll talk inside for now."
The two invited themselves in and Ran Xueyi closed the door behind her silently.
"What's wrong with this? The crew actually gave you this room? Aren't there any deluxe rooms available in this hotel?" Zhao Fei frowned upon seeing the small space inside the room.
Ran Xueyi grabbed a pitcher of water and poured two glasses of water as a sign of courtesy to her guests.
"Please sit down and have a drink. I don't have much since I just arrived in this room last night so please don't take any offense, Sister Zhao." Ran Xueyi was slightly embarrassed.
Zhao Fei shook her head. "No, it's my fault that I didn't come to you immediately after I heard you were looking for me. If I came sooner, this wouldn't happen to you."
"Now let's talk about business." Zhao Fei leaned forward. "I am very interested in working with you. The first time I heard you were looking for me, I didn't believe it. But thankfully, I didn't let my assistant throw out your notes, or else, this fateful encounter would be wasted."
Ran Xueyi smiled and took a sip from her glass of water, not intending to interrupt the other person from speaking.
Zhao Fei's eyes were filled with seriousness and she said sharply, "During our cooperation, as your manager and agent, I will make sure that you will be in the best hands. You have to tell me everything you did in the past and what you will do in the present and future before acting on it so that I can be prepared if there's backlash from your actions. I don't want any secrets going on between the two of us or I can leave now and we will forget this conversation."
Ran Xueyi's eyes curved as she smiled.
Zhao Fei was a first tier agent in the entertainment industry. At the age of twenty-five, she already produced a movie emperor and a superstar. At the age of thirty, she produced another two movie royals and was already an S-class agent in the entertainment world.
Sadly, not only actors and actresses experienced being shot down by some of the companies who wanted to destroy such an amazing and talented agent. Three years ago, Sister Zhao was rumored to be involved with a wealthy man and there were even photos of them together. These photos circulated in many social platforms and many people speculated that she used her body to secure her artist's resources.
This claim was immediately taken down from the hot search, but because of the hasty actions they took, more and more people believed that Zhao Fei really had some relationship with many investors and wealthy old men.
However, nobody even thought that the wealthy man that she was involved with turned out to be her real husband. After a few days of this issue being blown up to the top trending list, Zhao Fei's husband couldn't take it anymore and sued many people who came to insult his wife and sent an announcement with his lawyer's signature.
He also proved that Zhao Fei was not seeing anyone. The man in the photo was him. What was so wrong about a married couple being together out in the public?
After Zhao Fei's husband sued a lot of people, everyone who wanted to make trouble and insult her as well as her artists took down their posts and posted their apologies before the matter calmed down.
However, in the entertainment circle, even if a rumor was proved to be false, this kind of filthy thing will still accompany a person for the rest of their lives and more and more people will wait and doubt their identity and character.
Ran Xueyi specifically contacted this Sister Zhao while knowing the matters of three years ago. Despite the dirty things thrown at Sister Zhao, she made a comeback by training and putting her artists to the front and making them claim several awards. Wasn't this the perfect face-slap she could serve to her haters?
And naturally, Ran Xueyi needed someone who was capable, strong, and confident in both her talents and skills as an agent. More than that, the matter three years ago proved that Zhao Fei will never back down even with all the knives and daggers pointing at her.
This person was what she was looking for. Ran Xueyi was confident with herself, but she also expected that there would be many people who would hunt and take her down. Zhao Fei's support will be undeniably needed.
Ran Xueyi's eyes met Zhao Fei and nodded in affirmation. She said, "I naturally will do that. However, I also have something to say and requirements from my agent. I will also need Assistant Feng to get out of the room first before I expose any of my secret to anyone."
Zhao Fei raised her eyebrows. Ran Xueyi could be considered as someone who once stood at the very peak of the entertainment world. But that was six years ago. At present, Ran Xueyi, who had no real acting work in the past six years, could be ranked along some 15th tier actresses and actors in the circle.
So it was really surprising that she would be making demands and not let the other fully manage her career.
But according to what Zhao Fei observed from the investigation she did before on Ran Xueyi, she should have already expected that Ran Xueyi was not someone anyone could easily control and was a strong-willed woman.
