Chapter 264 - There are Two Huge Mountains Behind Jiang Yuning (1/2)
On the other hand, thanks to the sponsorship and endorsement by Xiya Hotel, An Yiqing finally secured a spot in the variety program.
After Shen Yichen had seen the outcome of the audition, he handed the contract over to An Yiqing’s agent before he stated, “You know how important this contract is to An Yiqing. You should also be clear that the biggest sponsor who has helped An Yiqing behind the scenes is none other than Xiya Hotel. This was all arranged by Jiang Yuning and Vera to help Yiqing secure a spot in the program, to show their gratitude.”
“I understand,” An Yiqing’s agent replied as he nodded.
“Since you already understand what I am trying to tell you, then you can leave now,” Shen Yichen replied without explaining any further.
However sometimes, there was truly no limit to how shameless or ungrateful a person could be.
This was because as soon as An Yiqing’s agent stepped out of Shen Yichen’s office, he was immediately stopped by Hua Xin’s agent, who had been waiting for him in Hua Xin’s resting room all along.
Hua Xin did not even ask before she grabbed the contract that An Yiqing’s agent had in his hands. “Wow. Looks like someone has just secured a new resource.”
“Sister Hua Xin…didn’t you agree that you would be magnanimous and that you would not take any more of Yiqing’s resources?” Lin Xuan asked in a helpless manner.
“Lin Xuan, it must have been really difficult for you to finally secure this deal and obtain this contract. If I remember correctly, the biggest sponsor behind this variety program is none other than Xiya Hotel…” Hua Xin did not ask the question directly but instead, she was beating around the bush. “So…is Jiang Yuning the one helping Yiqing behind the scenes?”
Lin Xuan took a deep breath before he nodded his head. “Yes, I heard that Jiang Yuning was the one who helped Yiqing secure this resource.”
Hua Xin chuckled before she held out the contract, as though she was about to give it back to Lin Xuan. However, as soon as Lin Xuan reached out his hand to take the contract, Hua Xin intentionally dropped the document onto the ground. “Let’s do it this way then. I want you to tell An Yiqing that I was the person who helped her to secure a spot in this variety show. If you tell her that, then I promise that I will not make life difficult for you two and I will not attempt to steal any of An Yiqing’s resources in future.”
“Sister Hua Xin…”
“Will you do it or not?”
Did he have any other choice?
“I know what I have to do.”
“You are a smart man. I know that you will definitely do the right thing,” Hua Xin replied before she sat back down on the sofa with her arms crossed in front of her chest. After that, Hua Xin nudged towards the door, signalling for Lin Xuan to leave immediately.
In fact, sometimes the agent could not be blamed for being selfish or despicable. This was because they would always be dragged into the deepest and darkest transactions in the entertainment industry and they only way that they would be able to survive would be to cooperate with the stronger party.
Everyone had to put themselves first in the entertainment industry. This was very common in the entertainment circle.
When Shen Yichen told Lin Xuan that Jiang Yuning was in fact the one who had paved the way for An Yiqing to secure the variety show, he was trying to tell An Yiqing that Jiang Yuning had already done her part to appease her and thank her for her support. Hua Xin, on the other hand, was only trying to brainwash An Yiqing and manipulate her into thinking that Jiang Yuning was heartless so that An Yiqing would join her camp to deal with Jiang Yuning.
Lin Xuan did not care which side An Yiqing would be on because he felt that neither Hua Xin nor Jiang Yuning were good people anyway. All that he cared about was securing more deals and resources for his artiste.
Therefore, Lin Xuan did as Hua Xin had asked him to when he informed An Yiqing about the variety show. “You are really lucky to be able to secure a spot in this variety show. This programme is really a blessing for a newcomer like you. Sister Hua Xin has really helped you a lot behind the scenes. You should be grateful and remember to thank her the next time you see her.”
An Yiqing was extremely happy and excited as she held the contract in her hands. “I understand. I really did not expect Sister Hua Xin to be the one who would help me in the end.”
“We will go and sign the contract with the other party early in the morning tomorrow so make sure you go home and rest earlier today,” Lin Xuan replied, without feeling even the slightest hint of guilt for lying to An Yiqing.
This was because he was absolutely convinced that no one in the entertainment circle was clean, be it Hua Xin or Jiang Yuning. In his eyes, both of them could only get this far in the entertainment industry because they had others backing them up and that was the reason why they would trample on others to show their own superiority.
On the other hand, Hua Xin was confident that she was raising a poisonous snake that would one day run out of its cage and hurt herself as she tried to harm others. This way, she would be killing two birds with one stone.

Ku Jie had been busy investigating about the gold sponsor who had been backing Hua Xin up all these while and after much effort, he finally discovered some information about the gold sponsor.
