Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

In the afternoon, Luo Ning received a call from Fu Ci asking her to visit the company.

Upon entering the president's office, Luo Ning saw Fu Ci and a scholarly man in his forties chatting leisurely.

Fu Ci smiled and beckoned, "Xiao Luo, come over and sit."

Luo Ning walked over gracefully and took a seat. Fu Ci introduced, "This is Fang Yan, our company's top agent and also your future agent."

Naturally, Luo Ning knew who Fang Yan was—a top agent at Star Emperor Entertainment with strong connections and capabilities, owning shares in the company, far surpassing Yan Qiuping.

In her previous life, the Best Actor Fang Yan had represented retired six months before she died, and he had not taken on any newcomers since then.

This time, Fu Ci unexpectedly arranged for this influential figure to represent her, which really surprised her.

"Hello, Brother Fang!" Luo Ning, though amazed internally, greeted Fang Yan with a polite smile.

Fang Yan nodded with a smile in return, "Hello."

He was not initially prepared to take on anyone else and was planning to retire at fifty. However, Lu Xun had called him today to take on a female star.

Owing Lu Xun a big favor, he could only agree, and was quite surprised that the usually secluded Best Actor had asked him to represent a female star.

Thus, he researched Luo Ning's background. Her current reputation wasn't good, and she was caught up in a smear campaign, but if Lu Xun committed a favor for her, she couldn't be as useless as the rumors on the internet suggested, merely a pretty face with nothing more.

Even though this was their first meeting, he could tell that Luo Ning was not the vase everyone claimed she was.

That made things easier; he was not afraid of problematic artists, he just didn't want a foolish one.

He then asked, "I saw you on the trending searches, how do you want to handle this situation?"

Luo Ning truthfully said, "By responding positively to clarify, and also to post another microblog about changing agents afterward."

Fang Yan further inquired, "How do you plan to clarify?"

Luo Ning took out her phone, drafted a message without sending it, and then handed it to Fang Yan, "This is what I think."

After examining the phone, a smile formed on Fang Yan's lips, "This response is not bad, but it will definitely attract criticism."

Luo Ning shrugged indifferently, "Either way, I'll be criticized whether I respond or not, so I might as well do what feels right to me; this way, it might even improve my public perception."

"That makes sense," Fang Yan nodded. "Your previous vase image was easy to smear. Are you trying to establish a straightforward image now?"

Luo Ning honestly replied, "The vase image was crafted by my previous agent. Now, I don't want to create any image; I just plan to be myself."

She didn't want to cautiously cater to others. Given a second chance at life, she intended to live unrestrainedly, doing things her own way.

Admiration and approval appeared in Fang Yan's eyes, "I have always been against creating facades too, as that's the easiest way to fail. Being yourself is best."

He found that Luo Ning was not only beautiful, but also intelligent, which pleased him.

The microblog she wanted to post not only cleared her identity from the photo but also counterattacked those who had intentionally spread rumors.

Initially, he had agreed to take her on because of the favor to Lu Xun, but now he was looking forward to working with Luo Ning.

He extended his hand proactively, "Pleasure to cooperate!"

Knowing this was Fang Yan's affirmation, Luo Ning smiled, stood up, and shook his hand, "Pleasure to cooperate!"

"You can post that microblog you showed me just now," said Fang Yan.

Luo Ning nodded, "Okay!"

After finishing, she posted the edited Weibo.

Previously, her main focus was on Ji Xinghang, and Brother Yan managed her Weibo. Initially, he would post on her account for business, but now he completely ignored it.

Consequently, after logging in, she changed the Weibo password, fearing that he might misuse her account.

"If you've reached an agreement, then come over and sign a new contract," Fu Ci said as he stood up and took out a new contract prepared on his desk.

"Okay!" Luo Ning and Fang Yan walked over.

On the set.

Ji Xinghang had just finished filming a scene and was resting when he saw Yan Qiuping approach with a serious face.

"What's wrong?"

Yan Qiuping handed him a mobile phone, "Luo Ning posted this kind of Weibo without my consent, she's too willful."

Ji Xinghang scanned the phone.

Luo Ning had updated a Weibo a few minutes ago.

@LuoNingV: "Am I really that skinny? Is my fashion sense really that bad? I've sent lawyer's letters to the people spreading rumors and the marketing accounts, please do not insult my appearance, thank you!"

Then she posted a few pictures, two of which were photos of her and Bo Xiangxiang that had been secretly snapped and trended online, the rest were beautiful shots of Luo Ning and the lawyer's letters.

The comments below were completely polarized, some continued to insult Luo Ning shamelessly, while many others were praising her looks.

Because in the photos, Luo Ning's face looked exceptionally beautiful, and her figure was golden ratio, not only curvy, with a full chest, buttocks, and long legs, but also without an ounce of excess fat on her waist. Compared to the woman in the trending photos, it looked like they were miles apart.

In terms of appearance and figure, even the black forces couldn't pick on her.

Ji Xinghang hadn't expected Luo Ning to post such a clarifying Weibo. The original trending topic was already very popular, and now this clarification completely pushed him and Bo Xiangxiang in the photos into the spotlight, definitely causing some to dig deeper into the woman in the photos.

It was not something Luo Ning would usually do, considering the resolute way she'd suggested breaking up yesterday, it made him feel an indescribable irritability.

"I'll give her a call and ask," he said as he took out his mobile to call Luo Ning.

At that moment, Yan Qiuping's phone also rang; seeing the caller ID, he took the phone and walked a short distance to answer it.

Bo Xiangxiang's voice came through, "Brother Yan, did you see the Weibo Luo Ning posted? She went too far."

When she saw the Weibo, she was furious. Luo Ning had actually posted on Weibo demeaning her figure, fashion sense, and not so high appearance. What she cared about most were these, how dare this bitch do this.

The implication of Luo Ning's post meant that once it came out she was the woman in the photos, everyone might assume this actress's appearance is much worse than Luo Ning's, which is why she was especially infuriated.

"I saw it, and I'll handle it. Ji Xinghang is calling her now. I'll also make her delete the Weibo," Yan Qiuping said, visibly angry as well. Luo Ning had dared to act behind his back, completely disregarding him.

Unfortunately, he hadn't paid much attention to Luo Ning's Weibo earlier; the registration and verification information were all handled by herself. He tried to log in just now but couldn't since she had changed the password, and he couldn't retrieve it.

Otherwise, he would have deleted the Weibo himself.

Hearing this, Bo Xiangxiang's anger subsided a bit, "Then I'll leave it to you, Brother Yan."

She obviously knew Ji Xinghang was there with him, so she didn't say much and hung up.

Having finished the call with Bo Xiangxiang, Yan Qiuping returned to find Ji Xinghang looking severely distressed while holding his phone.

A bad premonition arose within him, feeling as if things were slipping out of control, "Ji Xinghang, what did Luo Ning say?"

Ji Xinghang replied grimly, "She's blocked all my means of communication with her, I can't contact her."

This was something he hadn't anticipated and was somewhat hard to accept.
