Nie Zhenglan hadn’t been able to believe a word that Su Jimo said for quite some time. But now, the cold expression that she always put on to protect herself was slowly breaking down.
Tears of happiness rolled down her face as she stared at the television.
She felt that the Su Jimo that used to love her had returned.
…
Su Jimo’s fame skyrocketed after the press conference.
Almost all the media had their headlines titled around Su Jimo’s retirement.
Xiao Yuqian sat in her office as she could feel her blood pressure rise.
“Seriously,” Xiao Yuqian sighed. “Look at what you’ve done. You just singlehandedly ruined your career.”
“I’m sorry. But I think this is the best I can offer.”
Su Jimo only had one thing on his mind: to tell Nie Zhenglan how much she meant to him.
Xiao Yuqian then considered his options and realized it wasn’t the worst outcome either.
“Well, just take this as a short break or something. When this is over, I’ll help you rise to fame again if you wish to.”
Su Jimo smiled. “We’ll leave that to the future.”
“Fine. If that’s what you choose, then so be it. I’ll have to come up with something to calm Mr. He down.”
What Su Jimo did not know was that Xiao Yuqian was yelled at by her higher-ups because of him.
Even though Mr. He wasn’t pleased with what Su Jimo had done, he didn’t blame it all on Xiao Yuqian. He still believed in her ability to handle celebrities and let her go with a warning.
Su Jimo retiring wasn’t the objective that the PR team had hoped to achieve. But giving up his career at its height in the name of love… Su Jimo was able to affect a lot of people’s lives.
A lot of his fans were saddened by his sudden retirement. A lot of them posted online, hoping that SU Jimo would continue his career instead.
As for the insults about his divorce, they all quieted down.
With Su Jimo’s retirement, all of the dramas, movies, and songs that he used to make became classics.
In the end, praises of Su Jimo managed to drown all the insults out.
Niu Jiang stared at his screen in his office. On the screen were blessings sent to Su Jimo by his fans. Consumed by his anger, Niu Jiang swept everything on his desk down to the floor.
His plan had failed once again. He had spent a considerable amount of money to put the scandal about Su Jimo out, but the outcome was not what he’d expected.
But Niu Jiang wasn’t going to stop just yet. As long as Xiao Yuqian remained the best manager of Huayin, he would never stop.
…
Time flew, and two months had passed since then. Ma Haodong’s training at Huayin had also ended.
Xiao Yuqian had helped him secure his first role in a drama. He would be playing a beggar with a considerable amount of screentime as a starring guest.
After landing the role, Xiao Yuqian asked if Ma Haodong wanted the job. She thought that he wouldn’t accept a minor character, but Ma Haodong gladly accepted it.
Ma Haodong would accept any job that Xiao Yuqian land him. The reason he was at Huayin was that he wanted to date Xiao Yuqian. He would do anything that Xiao Yuqian had asked him to.
He began working as an actor not for the sake of acting, but for Xiao Yuqian.
