45 A Job Opportunity
The person that Xia Lan had maliciously fired was Chi Tong, who was sitting next to Luo Ying.
“According to our company’s rules, you have lost all managerial rights over Luo Ying. However, our company doesn’t plan to fire you directly. The resources in your hands should have been handed over to Su Ran, right? You may ask Su Ran if she’s willing to let you be her manager.”
Su Ran’s manager, Zhao Suo, had officially resigned this week, and it was time to choose a new manager.
Xia Lan looked at Su Ran with pleading eyes.
She had helped Su Ran with many things. The projects she had received were all funneled to Su Ran. She had even paid an army of fake reviewers to suppress Luo Ying’s popularity after her performance last week.
Su Ran stood up in front of everyone, and an apologetic expression flashed across her face. “I’m sorry, Sister Xia Lan. I know that you’ve done a lot for me, but I’ve already talked to Sister Meng Lin. From now on, Meng Lin will be my manager.”
Everyone sucked in a cold breath.
Luo Ying was the only one who did not react. She yawned lazily.
She had already found out about this when she asked Lu Zhao to investigate Xia Lan.
Even after what Luo Ying had said to Xia Lan, Xia Lan had not repented. She rejected the next project for Luo Ying and was even prepared to hand it over to Su Ran.
Luo Ying was not an unreasonable person, but Xia Lan had truly let her down.
Therefore, she bribed Zhao Suo and made her resign in advance. Then, she reported Xia Lan’s dereliction of duty to Zhang Qi.
Xia Lan’s face turned pale as she looked at Su Ran.
“However, Sister Xia Lan has done so much for me and has worked hard for the company for so many years. Director Zhang, I hope you won’t fire Sister Xia. Don’t you agree, Luo Ying?”
Luo Ying laughed coldly. Su Ran was such a malicious orator. By making such a statement, she would be the kind and innocent maiden, while Luo Ying would be given a choice to be as kind-hearted as she was, or to be the cruel villainness.
“I’m not as kind as Su Ran. I hope that we can deal with Xia Lan according to the company’s rules.,” Luo Ying said coldly.
She could let the occasional transgression slide, but for so many years, Xia Lan had treated the original Luo Ying like a fool and fed her with lies. Even after she had given her a fair warning, Xia Lan still did not repent, so she would have to pay the price for her actions.
“Alright,” he said. Zhang Qi nodded. “Xia Lan, since you don’t have any artistes to manage anymore, you can take a break for now.”
Xia Lan bit her lip and nodded reluctantly.
Although it was a temporary leave, she had a feeling that her dismissal notice would come soon.
She had not expected Luo Ying to gain so much wit and intelligence in so short a time.
She had not seen this coming.
After dealing with Xia Lan, Luo Ying felt a weight lifted off her chest.
“Sister Luo Ying, why did you choose me to be your manager?” Chi Tong asked her cautiously.
Luo Ying remembered the character Chi Tong in the original novel. He was hardworking, capable, and was dutiful. Later on, he became a very good manager. Although he was previously framed by Xia Lan and left the company, he still managed to gain a high standing in the industry with his own abilities.
However, he had harbored a hatred for the company and constantly attempted to take revenge on Lin Su, Xia Lan, and Su Ran. In the end, he was driven to suicide.
Luo Ying did not want such a good seedling to die in this way, so she chose him to be her manager.
“Because I think you’ll definitely become a great manager in the future,” Luo Ying said with a smile. “I don’t have much ability, but I’m good at judging people. Trust me.”
Chi Tong nodded. He had a feeling that Luo Ying was destined for greatness.
After changing her manager, Luo Ying’s job opportunities came, one after another. The performance clip from the party a few days ago was pulled out again for marketing purposes. Then, famous music centers for music programs sent Luo Ying a selection of choices.
This time, she was to host a music program, interviewing singers and idols who had been singing recently. There would be a special stage for the host every week. The offer was a solid one, and the competition in terms of candidates was fierce.
Many of the hosts who served on this show had gone on to become regular guests of variety shows. With the aid of endorsements, their popularity among the people would also rise.
It was a valuable stepping stone.
Luo Ying had already made preparations for it.
On the day of the selection, Luo Ying saw a familiar figure as soon as she got out of the car. It was Su Ran.
