Chapter 13 The lion speaks
Zhou Zhiqiang joined Starlight Entertainment four years ago as a manager assistant.
Starlight Entertainment can be said to be a big company in the industry. Zhou Zhiqiang had worked in other small brokerage companies before, and even brought out a relatively well-known second-tier artist.
The artist was poached by other management companies after he got a little bit of fame, and Zhou Zhiqiang's energy and time on him were wasted.
This also made Zhou Zhiqiang realize that he needs to switch to a bigger platform. Only a big brokerage company can ensure that the artists he brings will not be poached by other companies.
So Zhou Zhiqiang jumped to Starlight Entertainment.
He thought that based on his working experience, he could become Starlight Entertainment's manager as soon as he entered Starlight Entertainment, but he didn't expect to be assigned to Qi Zhengyun's subordinates and become Qi Zhengyun's assistant.
It took three years to do it. In these three years, he didn't bring any artists, which can be described as mediocrity.
He can indeed change jobs to other companies again, but even as an assistant, Zhou Zhiqiang can still see the prosperity of Starlight Entertainment, and he is reluctant to leave.
Whenever he wanted to give up, he always said to himself in his heart, what if?What if I can become an official broker?
After struggling under Qi Zhengyun for more than three years, he finally found a chance to be promoted.
In the middle of last year, Qi Zhengyun signed a trainee who came back from abroad. The trainee's name was Xu Tingxian.
Xu Tingxian is good-looking and has strong professional skills. Qi Zhengyun helped her sign up for a variety show. Xu Tingxian performed very well in the variety show and attracted many fans after a few episodes.
According to the rising trend at the beginning, Xu Tingxian is likely to debut at a high position. In addition, Starlight Entertainment is a big company, and a debut position must be affordable.
Zhou Zhiqiang was assigned by Qi Zhengyun to be Xu Tingxian's assistant. He knew that Qi Zhengyun wanted to praise Xu Tingxian at first, to sell Xu Tingxian's marketing, stir up CP, stir up topics... It can be said that Qi Zhengyun was working for Xu Tingxian during that time He spent a lot of time and money on himself, pretending to make Xu Tingxian the top of the girl group.
In fact, Xu Tingxian is indeed capable, and she also has a girl group face, especially her eyes, which are clear and transparent, shining brightly on the stage, which can make people feel a kind of strength to work hard.
Many fans fell in love with Xu Tingxian, and they were first attracted by her eyes.
Zhou Zhiqiang has also been a manager for several years, so he naturally knew that Xu Tingxian had the potential to become a big hit, so he did his best to be Xu Tingxian's assistant, hoping to become Xu Tingxian's manager one day.
Just when Zhou Zhiqiang thought that Xu Tingxian's rise was unstoppable, Xu Tingxian was suddenly eliminated by the program group, and she was only one step away from the group's debut night.
Xu Tingxian's fans couldn't accept it, and Zhou Zhiqiang didn't know why.
But he soon guessed why.
Xu Tingxian seemed to have offended Qi Zhengyun, and Qi Zhengyun's attitude towards Xu Tingxian suddenly cooled down. All the positive publicity and marketing about Xu Tingxian disappeared, and unwarranted slander followed.Xu Tingxian's career had just begun when it was dealt a fatal blow.
Even so, it didn't seem to affect Xu Tingxian. She still came to the company to practice full of energy every day. Sometimes she stayed in the practice room for a whole day. She never felt impatient or boring. Her eyes were still shining With the light on, she can clearly feel her love for the stage.
Zhou Zhiqiang had already forgotten when it started, and he saw the light in Xu Tingxian's eyes go out.The whole person looked lifeless, with a sense of decay that was dying.
Until the end of last year, Zhou Zhiqiang found the answer.
On that day, Zhou Zhiqiang went to Qi Zhengyun's office to find Qi Zhengyun, and he finally plucked up the courage to talk to Qi Zhengyun about becoming an official manager.
However, as soon as he walked to the door of Qi Zhengyun's office, he heard faint movements from the office, small, as if someone was crying.
Reason told Zhou Zhiqiang not to meddle in his own business, but his footsteps moved towards the door unconsciously. Zhou Zhiqiang could clearly see the scene in the office through the crack of the door that was not closed tightly.
Xu Tingxian was pressed on the table and violated.
The person who violated him was no stranger to Zhou Zhiqiang, and it was Wang Hengcai, the general manager of Starlight Entertainment.
When Xu Tingxian saw him watching, a gleam of hope suddenly burst out from his dim eyes.
Zhou Zhiqiang knew that she was asking himself for help again.She regarded herself as the last straw.
But Zhou Zhiqiang flinched.
Slowly he took a step back and made his choice.
Zhou Zhiqiang could see the light in Xu Tingxian's eyes dimming bit by bit until it was completely extinguished.
Zhou Zhiqiang thought that he could turn around and run as if nothing had happened, but when he turned around, he saw the general manager's assistant standing not far away, looking at him with a smile.
Assistant Chen proposed a deal to Zhou Zhiqiang, hoping that Zhou Zhiqiang would act as if nothing had happened, and forget everything he saw and heard.
Of course, Zhou Zhiqiang is not without benefits.
On the second day after this incident happened, Zhou Zhiqiang officially became the manager of Starlight Entertainment. His share and rank were much higher than that of ordinary managers. At the same time, Assistant Chen also promised Zhou Zhiqiang that he would continue to promote him regardless of his performance. .
Backed by the big tree of the general manager, Zhou Zhiqiang's promotion path is naturally smooth.
And from that day on, Zhou Zhiqiang never saw Xu Tingxian again, nor even heard about Xu Tingxian again, she seemed to have disappeared from this world.
"I did not do anything……"
After Zhou Zhiqiang finished telling his story, he kept murmuring this sentence as if to comfort himself.
Xia Guhan raised his eyes, lazily looking at Zhou Zhiqiang who was frightened.
Zhou Zhiqiang really didn't do anything, but after witnessing that incident, he chose to conceal it, and then stepped into Wang Hengcai's camp and became an accomplice in that interest chain.
If Xu Siya was an ordinary person, after Zhou Zhiqiang received the room card handed over by Assistant Chen today, regardless of whether he was entangled in his heart or not, the result would definitely be to bring Xu Siya there.
But Zhou Zhiqiang knew in advance that Xu Siya's situation was not easy. He was afraid, and he didn't even dare to get entangled. He only wanted to find someone to solve Xu Siya.
But Zhou Zhiqiang was too anxious to deal with Xu Siya, and let Xu Siya know what he was thinking.
He is panicking now, only Xia Guhan can save him!
Zhou Zhiqiang thought of this, his knees softened, and he knelt down in front of Xia Guhan, "Boss Xia, please help me, I'm willing to pay any amount of money! As long as you can save my life, I will give you everything I have." I will give you everything!"
Compared with life, what is money?
"I really didn't do anything. Since I joined Starlight Entertainment, I haven't hurt a single person!" Zhou Zhiqiang was still defending himself, and he didn't know whether he was convincing Xia Guhan or himself.
But every word he said fell into Xia Guhan's ears, Xia Guhan only felt noisy, he yawned, and lazily interrupted Zhou Zhiqiang, "give me the room card."
"Room card?" Zhou Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the room card that Xia Guhan said was given to him by Assistant Chen earlier, and asked him to take Xu Siya there at night.
Not long after Zhou Zhiqiang signed Xu Siya, someone noticed Xu Siya, not only the general manager Wang Hengcai, but also other high-level executives. Only Zhou Zhiqiang knew a few, let alone those who bypassed Zhou Zhiqiang and contacted Xu Siya alone.
It was at this time that Zhou Zhiqiang knew that Starlight Entertainment had a chain of interests, and this chain of interests was stabilized by power and lust.Every agent is a provider in this interest chain, providing the most "fresh" artists for the company's managers and some dignitaries.
Artists who agree to join this interest chain will be strongly supported by the company.Those who are unwilling, Xu Tingxian is one kind of result, and Fan Tianhao who is hidden in the snow is another kind of result.
Moreover, Starlight Entertainment is also well versed in this. Once a newcomer enters Starlight Entertainment, Starlight Entertainment will give the newcomer a chance to become famous and give the newcomer a taste of being at the top.
At this time, Starlight Entertainment proposed a "deal" to newcomers. Some people couldn't help being addicted to "redness", so they betrayed themselves, hoping to continue to be popular for a long time.Some people refused righteously, so they began to be hidden in the snow. Starlight Entertainment can promote them to the top, or they can trample them into hell overnight.
How can some people be willing to fall into the quagmire again after they have tasted the taste of big red and purple?So I compromised, exchanged my body for resources, and slowly returned to the peak.
Of course, there are also those who do not compromise.
For example Xu Tingxian.
So she ended up miserable.
These Zhou Zhiqiang dare not tell Xia Guhan that Starlight Entertainment is a giant to him, if one day it is known that he leaked the information, he will definitely not die well.
Zhou Zhiqiang thought a lot, but the time was only for a moment. He took out the room card from his pocket and handed it to Xia Guhan.
"Little boss, are you going to meet Mr. Wang in person?" Zhou Zhiqiang asked cautiously.
He glanced at Xia Guhan.
With Xia Guhan's good looks, Mr. Wang is definitely happy. Even Starlight Entertainment can't find anyone who looks better than Boss Xia, and Mr. Wang is not afraid of men and women.
Thinking like this, Zhou Zhiqiang couldn't help looking at Xia Guhan for a while, and suddenly his eyes felt a burning sensation, Zhou Zhiqiang only felt a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and he subconsciously covered his eyes in pain.
Xia Guhan glanced at Gu Jinnian.
Gu Jinnian was still reading novels on the ground, as if nothing had happened.
Xia Guhan chuckled lightly, took Zhou Zhiqiang's room card on the counter, and looked Zhou Zhiqiang up and down again, "The evil spirit on your body is getting stronger and stronger, buy a talisman."
As he said that, he took out three talismans and unfolded them on the counter, "The enhanced version of the Town House Elimination Package can keep you safe for half a year. The price is 99998. Do you want to buy it?"
The price increased from 998 to 99998, an increase of more than 100 times.
But even if Zhou Zhiqiang knew that Xia Guhan was now suspected of being a lion, he could only grit his teeth and buy it.
Worry-free life within half a year, spending 99998 is worth it!
Starlight Entertainment can be said to be a big company in the industry. Zhou Zhiqiang had worked in other small brokerage companies before, and even brought out a relatively well-known second-tier artist.
The artist was poached by other management companies after he got a little bit of fame, and Zhou Zhiqiang's energy and time on him were wasted.
