Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

The next afternoon, Luo Ning posted another Weibo.

@LuoNingV: I have changed agents and am not engaging in hype, bundling, exploiting anyone, or hitching a ride on someone's popularity. Please take your "brothers" away with you.

This Weibo announcement wasn't just about her change of agent; it was also a direct jab at Ji Xinghang's fans.

At the same time, it made clear that she wasn't interested in riding on Ji Xinghang's popularity and would no longer be involved in any so-called bundling.

In her past life, she was berated by Ji Xinghang's fans the most, some even cursed her family members, and once, a Star Fan even tried to throw sulfuric acid at her—had her reflexes not been quick, her face would have been disfigured.

Some Star Fans were like hysterical maniacs, relentlessly pursuing her. In her former life, she committed suicide by jumping off a building due to the relentless cyberbullying; these people played no small part in that.

Previously, because she was still in a romantic relationship with Ji Xinghang and hadn't changed agents, she could only ignore it.

Now, she could do as she pleased, and naturally, she took the opportunity for a public confrontation, which also served as a foundation for tearing off those labels.

This Weibo post shocked the spectators; Luo Ning was being incredibly tough.

Luo Ning's previously filmed web series had been a minor hit, and with her high attractiveness, her fanbase wasn't small.

It was just that because of the trending search incident earlier, she had been chased and criticized by Ji Xinghang's fans for clout-chasing and such, which frustrated her fans to no end.

However, Luo Ning's clarification yesterday and her Weibo post today finally gave the Ning Fans a sense of relief and exhilaration.

[Ah, my Ningbao is so tough. I love it.]

[Directly changing agents, not clinging onto popularity or bundling... that's my Ningbao. So satisfying.]

[Star Fans were continuously accusing our Ningbao of bundling with your "brother." Now open your eyes wide and look—our Ningbao couldn't care less.]

[Exactly. You pushed our Ningbao to change agents. Are you Star Fans happy now? Don't come jumping around here anymore, or we'll insult you every time we see you.]

[My heart aches for my Ningbao. Previously accused of being the woman in the trending search photos, her agent didn't do any public relations to clear her name, just let more and more mud be slung at Ningbao. Such an agent is utterly useless.]

[Right, every time they say my Ningbao is riding on Ji Xinghang's popularity, but it looks to me more like they are exploiting my Ningbao's fame. Every time something goes wrong, the agent is as good as dead, letting certain dogs bark madly. It was about time for a change.]

[Take away my Ningbao, please, Star Fans, just roll as far away as you can. We're not playing with you.]

[Ningbao shines on her own, Star Fans and haters roll away!]

Ji Xinghang's fans and the haters had always been watching Luo Ning, and they were infuriated by this Weibo post.

Although they had always been cursing Luo Ning, telling her not to exploit or bind with their "brother," looking down upon her from their high position.

But now, here she was acting like she changed agents on her own initiative, sarcastically stating she wouldn't cling onto popularity or bind with him and telling them to quickly take their "brother" away, as if she disdained them. This was unacceptable.

[Our "brother" has been sick of you for a long time already, at least you have some self-awareness.]

[Finally, we don't have to see Luo Huaping and Star baby bundled together anymore.]

[Star baby is finally free from Luo Huaping's clout-chasing. I'm going to set off fireworks to celebrate.]

[Shameless Luo Huaping, posting such a Weibo post, isn't this still leeching off the popularity of my family's Star baby?]

[I bet she's latched onto some rich patron, which is why she's so brazen now.]

[Luo Huaping, get out of the entertainment circle.]

"Luo Huaping would be better off disfigured; she gets away with everything just because she has a pretty face."

"Luo Huaping, just go die."

Ning Fans were especially angry at these comments and fought back.

"Blind your dog eyes, my Ningbao has said she won't be tied down anymore, what are you doing here? It's clearly you who are capitalizing on my Ningbao's trending heat, you are the most shameless ones."

"Really think your Brother is a treasure, huh? Our Ningbao doesn't fancy you, please don't harass us anymore."

"Our Ningbao hasn't killed your whole family or dug up your ancestral graves, wishing for others to be disfigured or to die; Star Fans and haters have such low quality."

"Exactly, some fans are just too filthy. Our Ningbao won't roll away, why don't you show us how it's done by rolling away? Alternatively, let your Family Head lead by example and roll out of the entertainment circle."

"Take away Ningbao, and all the curses bounce back, bounce back, bounce back, whoever curses gets it bounced back at them."

With Luo Ning's counterattack, Ning Fans had enough confidence to stand up to Star Fans and release all the pent-up resentment they had been accumulating.

Star Fans didn't expect Ning Fans to be so tough this time; previously, they were only on the receiving end of criticism.

Soon, the paid trolls took to setting the tone, and Star Fans, as if finding a reason to fight back, continued their attack.

"Haha, Luo Huaping really thinks highly of herself, probably Brother Yan couldn't handle her, so she took the initiative to terminate the contract, right?"

"Exactly. It must be Brother Yan who couldn't stand her and initiated the termination. She actually had the nerve to post on Weibo first, trying to gild her own face."

"Without our Brother Yan, you are nothing, let's see how you survive in the entertainment circle now."

"Right, right, Brother Yan must have been sick of Luo Huaping clinging to Star baby to gain popularity, so he terminated the contract with her."

"Luo Huaping is still so shameless; it was clearly Brother Yan who didn't want her, yet she acts as if she initiated the change, pfft."

"Luo Huaping, have some self-awareness; our Brother Yan and Star baby despise you and didn't want to carry you along, that's why they terminated the contract. Please, stop trying to gild your face."

"Brother Yan is a top-notch senior agent at Star Emperor Entertainment, even he couldn't make Luo Huaping popular; I wonder who else could."

"Now that Brother Yan doesn't want her, she can only find some nobody agent to represent her, otherwise who would dare to take her on?"

"Exactly, without our Brother Yan, we won't even need to tell Luo Huaping to roll out of the entertainment circle; I believe it won't be long before she can't mix in it anymore."

Not just Star Fans and haters, but even celebrities following the incident in the entertainment circle believed there was an eight or nine out of ten chance that it was Yan Qiuping who actively terminated the contract with Luo Ning.

Otherwise, given Yan Qiuping's status and connections within Star Emperor Entertainment and the circle, Luo Ning wouldn't have been able to terminate the contract on her own accord.

Moreover, by directly confronting on Weibo, Luo Ning would only offend Yan Qiuping more, and it would be difficult for her to establish a foothold in the entertainment circle in the future; the move she made was terrible.

But soon something happened that left them all stunned.

The unanimously acknowledged ace agent in the entertainment circle, who had launched several kings, queens, and pop legends, making every star he handled a red-hot name—Fang Yan—posted a Weibo.

@Fang Yan: Happy cooperation! @Luo Ning

Following that, Star Emperor Entertainment also released an announcement on Weibo stating that during the time Yan Qiuping managed Luo Ning, some inactions violated the contract, so the company had replaced him with Fang Yan as Luo Ning's agent.

This was orchestrated by Fu Ci, who personally had the company's legal team review the contract to find loopholes.

Yan Qiuping's failure to address trending topics properly was an obvious breach of contract, and it even harmed Luo Ning's interests, hence violating the contract, and the legal team found several other points that couldn't be questioned.

This also blocked Yan Qiuping, upset and full of grievances, who had been calling the company to question them.
