Tong Yu thought it was one of his superiors, but it turned out to be a fellow talent agent.
Unfortunately, the two of them were not on good terms.
Tong Yu narrowed his eyes and enquired in a distant voice. “Yes?”
Jin Xuyuan glanced at Tong Yu with a cocky look on his face. He walked past him and entered the office. After two seconds, he said in a cocky tone, “Why don’t you close the door so that we can have a little chat?”
The airy voice left Tong Yu frowning, but he quickly shut the door and walked into the room.
Jin Xuyuan sat down on the couch and leaned back lazily as though this was his office. He gave Huo Xiang a thorough perusal before he shook his head and said, “Tsk tsk, it’s such a pity.”
Huo Xiang had already composed himself before Tong Yu opened the door and currently sported a cold expression on his face. When Jin Xuyuan scrutinized him, Huo Xiang’s eyes became even darker.
“Your bright future is about to be destroyed, but neither of you… seem anxious,” said Jin Xuyuan.
He was sitting with his legs crossed and made no effort to conceal his glee. He seemed unworried about provoking them.
Tong Yu walked over and replied indifferently. “Stop beating around the bush and get to the point.”
“Oh! Everyone in the company knows that Lucky got hurt and won’t be able to perform, so I came over to show some concern out of the kindness of my heart. Do you have to get so agitated, Tong Yu?” said Jin Xuyuan heedlessly.
Lucky was Huo Xiang’s stage name in the entertainment industry.
Although Jin Xuyuan and Tong Yu were both top-notch talent agents, Tong Yu always managed to surpass him, and his trump card was none other than Huo Xiang. Now that Huo Xiang was in trouble, he wondered how much longer could Tong Yu throw his weight around for.
Tong Yu knew Jin Xuyuan was here to gloat over their misfortune, but he did not get worked up. He flicked his hand in mid-air and said nonchalantly, “Xiang is extremely popular. Everyone is jealous of him, so all sorts of rumors have spread.”
Jin Xuyuan suddenly stood up. All the mockery on his face dissipated. With a cold face, he said, “Tong Yu, stop pretending. You know best whether Huo Xiang is injured or not. Since we are colleagues, I don’t mind helping you cover it up.”
Tong Yu pursed his lips quietly and looked at him indifferently. He knew Jin Xuyuan was about to divulge the true reason for his arrival.
“If Huo Xiang is willing to give up his role as the band leader of Phenom, I will handle all the rumors spreading in the company,” said Jin Xuyuan calmly as though he was asking him to take a walk in the park.
Tong Yu’s expression instantly sank and he spoke through gritted teeth. “You must be joking, right?”
Jin Xuyuan shrugged and continued in an indifferent tone. “Since your artist is in such a bad shape, wouldn’t it be wiser to give up the lead position rather than wait for the company to take it from you? At least, you can save yourself the embarrassment.”
Jin Xuyuan paused and then said haughtily, “I’ll give you some time to consider it. Call me when you’re done thinking. After all, such opportunities wait for no one.” He headed for the door before Tong Yu could respond.
Tong Yu was so angry that smoke came out from the top of his head.
After some time, he finally lost control of his temper and roared. “He’s hitting us when we’re down. How dare he ask for your lead position in Phenom?”
