Chapter 1417: Chapter 1418: A Call from a Stranger
“You think you can turn someone around if you look down on them? She’s nothing special, she just found herself a boyfriend who’s the president of Li Group. If you’re tired of living, go ahead and try messing with her!” The agent finished his sarcasm, too lazy to argue further, “If you still want to work under me, you’ll cause me less trouble, otherwise we’ll terminate the contract, and you can find yourself a new agent.”
Gu Zekai was completely afraid to speak up.
His agent didn’t want to deal with him either, took out his phone, planning to contact some friendly paparazzi to release the video first.
The video was a fake.
According to his plan, Gu Zekai was supposed to go all out and ‘dedicate’ himself to his career for real this time, so that even if they stirred up trouble, they’d be confident and unafraid of slip-ups.
But Gu Zekai was disobedient and absolutely refused to act out the deception for real, so his agent had no choice but to resort to the old bait-and-switch trick, getting someone to make a swapped-out fake video.
Hopefully, this fake video would come in handy…
He was about to make a call when suddenly, a call came in.
“Who would call at this crucial moment?” he wondered, looking at the incoming call display on his phone, “This number…”
He didn’t seem to recognize this number.
He was hesitant, but Gu Zekai, anxious at his side, urged him, “K, answer it first and see who’s calling, what if it’s from Lemon’s side?”
“That’s true.”
After briefly thinking, his agent, optimistic, put the phone to his ear, “Hello?”
A pleasant female voice came through the phone.
“Hello, I’m Rong Yan.”
“Rong…” His agent’s complexion drastically changed, he gripped the phone tightly and his eyes widened.
Seeing his agent’s color change, Gu Zekai leaned in wanting to hear who was on the other end and asked anxiously, “K, who is it?”
“Rong what?”
His agent ignored him, walked aside with a serious face, and tried to calm down, “Miss Rong, what can I do for you?”
Rong Yan’s recent maneuvering had taken him by surprise.
The counterattack from Nick Studio had caught him off guard, and facing such a player, he had to be on his guard.
Not to mention, there was a man behind Rong Yan—Li Shengxiao!
“I’ve sent something to your email, please take a look first.”
Agent: “…”
He couldn’t understand what Rong Yan was calling for, he pursed his lips, considered for a moment and said, “One moment.”
He stepped through a room full of trash, found his laptop, logged into his email, clicked open, and indeed there was a new email.
He silently clicked to open it, only skimmed a few lines, and his face changed!
This is…
At that moment, the female voice from the phone timely spoke, “I guess you still have a Photoshopped video that’s been doctored up. I advise you not to release it, if you fabricate another fake video to frame Mr. Ai Wen, then I can only release these videos. You’re Gu Zekai’s agent, you should be very clear about the impact of these videos being released on you, on your company. I don’t want things to escalate to a point of no return, if you back off, I will too. What do you think?”
Her tone was relaxed, as if she was merely discussing an ordinary matter, so natural. But for Gu Zekai’s agent, every word hit him right in the vital spot, leaving him oppressed and without the leeway to fight back.
“You can think it over.”
