Chapter 308: Was He Suspended?
At this point, Xia Junsheng subconsciously asked Su Yayan, “Should we change their managers?”
Su Yayan pondered for a moment and shook his head. “Let’s see how capable he is first. Don’t underestimate the connections of the people in the industry.”
Xia Junsheng’s eyes flickered, but he did not say anything else.
After learning about the remaining three novice artists, Su Yayan asked the unlucky one, “How’s You Yus.h.i.+’s injury?”
“She’s already recovering, but…”
“What?”
“She was originally planning to become a singer who danced, so she would need some time to recover from this injury. Also, she signed the shortest three-year contract. Even though there are still two years left, with this incident, the You family will most likely terminate her contract and leave the entertainment industry.”
Su Yayan had expected this outcome. “What a pity.”
You Yus.h.i.+ was able to enter the top twenty without relying on her status as the second daughter of the You family. Furthermore, she was ranked at the front. This showed that she had some ability.
Before this, she had also heard from Xia Junsheng that she did not enter the entertainment industry for fun. She really wanted to build her own career.
She had a strong drive, and her family background was there.
What was that saying again? The scary thing was not that others were better than you, but that they were more hardworking than you.
“If the You family really insists on terminating the contract, and she has the intention to do so herself, then we’ll terminate it. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. There’s no need to get into a conflict with the You family over this.”
Xia Junsheng heaved a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced that they did not spend too many resources on You Yus.h.i.+. If they really terminated the contract, the losses would not be too great.
“Right, one more thing.”
“What is it?”
“How’s Ning Qirui?”
“He’s getting better.” Su Yayan looked up at Xia Junsheng. “Why are you suddenly asking about him? Did something happen?”
“He hasn’t taken on any jobs while he was recuperating. His fans seemed to have noticed and mistakenly thought that the company had suspended him, so they started to support other newcomers.”
Su Yayan frowned slightly. She had been busy with her wedding and restaurant recently, so it had been a long time since she had surfed the internet. This was the first time she had heard about this.
“I understand now. Ning Qirui’s family already knows about his illness, so there’s no need to continue hiding it. I’ll arrange for him to post on social media to tell the fans the truth. When the time comes, remember to ask the company’s official account to repost it to show the company’s att.i.tude towards this matter.”
After all, Xia Junsheng was a veteran in the company. When he heard Su Yayan’s words, he acutely sensed that there was a chance to improve the company’s image and increase the fans’ impression of him.
He immediately said, “Okay, the public relations department will carefully consider what to say based on Ning Qirui’s post.”
“Yeah, but if that guy really gets better, it’ll take at least a few more months. The company can’t just sit back and do nothing during this period. We have to nurture more new blood.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Xue Caiwei and Hong Hui will be back soon. When the time comes, we can ask them to help milk a few newbies.”
Xue Caiwei and Hong Hui were the signboards of the East District. One was a movie queen while the other was a Heavenly King. With these two top celebrities leading them, newcomers could indeed take fewer detours, but…
“Take good care of yourself. Don’t end up with a bad reputation. It’s not worth it.” There were advantages to taking shortcuts, but one had to take certain risks.
“Understood.”
The two of them were talking when there was a knock on the office door. A female secretary pushed the door open and said awkwardly, “President Su, there’s a couple downstairs that wants to see you.”
