Chapter 274 – He truly regretted it now. (3)

Many in the comments mocked him for looking naïve but was the exact opposite deep down inside. Others were educating his fans on how he and his agent in Begonia tried to set up Ren DongZhi.

He worries deepened and he clicked on a link on the bottom. The link took him to a for-profit account that had quite a bit of followers.

[Video leaked. Popular idol and his agent joined forces to put on an imperial drama?]

He clicked open the video and realized that it was the one with him and his agent, Gao Lin, meeting at the coffee shop. The video was of such high quality that it would be difficult for him to deny it.

He rubbed his face and comforted himself: That’s alright. Even if they have the video, he could just insist that he was merely meeting up with Begonia Entertainment for a simple contract-signing.

When he read on, that hope dissipated immediately.

He had no idea who this for-profit person was but they even hired an expert in lip-reading and interpreted the conversation.

[Will that really help me become popular? Will people figure out that we are just stirring stuff up? What should I say when the time comes? Okay, I get it. I just have to play the pity card, right? No, I don’t have any dirt on them. They have been very careful. Fu Zhe? I think he will play along. Who doesn’t want to become famed, right?]

And, at the very end, the for-profit account owner added, “So this was the one that was like an angel to his fans? Sure enough, an angel’s approach is quite different than those of us commoners.”

It was all over. He was done for.

When that thought popped into his mind, his limbs went cold.

Under this particle, many bystanders expressed that their moral standards had been rattled and that they never expected the idol circle resembled imperial dramas. Many bystanders announced that they had become Tong Jiaming’s anti-fans and spit upon his manipulative behaviors. There were fans who had abandoned their fanhood and were now bashing him for his behavior and there were those who still held out faith in him and asked for him to stand out to explain himself. Some fans suggested for him to sue the for-profit account.

Sue them? On what grounds? The video clip was read and those words did come out of him.

As though grasping onto the final straw before he drowned, he gave Gao Lin a call. “Get rid of those articles, now! All you need to do is to throw money at it, right?”

Gao Lin, from the other end, did not sound particularly happy. “Throw money at it? Whose money? Yours? You haven’t even made that much money for us yet and you expect the company to spend that much on you? It was all your fault. You should have been more careful. Couldn’t you have put on shades and a hat? Now they had a great shot of you.

“Our company is so unlucky to have signed you. I’ll give you an idea. You apologize openly to Ren DongZhi and said that you didn’t know what you were thinking. If he refused to accept your apology, then we will drum up the public opinion that he was being petty about it. Then we will release a few more articles about how he had bullied you during the talent show and you only did what you did because you were upset at him.”

By now, Tong Jiaming finally had it figured out. The company that he signed did not care about his image, as long as there was publicity.

Li XinYun’s face appeared in front of his eyes.

“If you signed with us, I can’t promise much but, at the very minimum, I can promise you that there would be no messy business. Anyone who asked for unspoken favor from you, you come talk to me. If you are willing to sign with us, we can start working on your album before the end of the year.”

He had snickered to himself at the time: This little agency with nothing to show for wanted to sign him? What a waste of his talent. As for unspoken favors, he had already prepared himself mentally when he decided to enter into this circle. He didn’t need empty promises. He just wanted to become famed in the shortest time possible.

He was truly regretting about his decision now.
