Entertainment: Who exactly is trying to whitewash me?

Chapter 4: Giving Up on Everything?

At the resort.

Lu Ang pushed open the door to the master bedroom with the sea view.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is a vast expanse of azure seascape, with sunlight streaming in and casting a golden glow on the floor.

The room was ridiculously spacious, the king-size bed was as soft as a cloud, and it had a private bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a small living room.

He raised an eyebrow, quite satisfied.

Then, he walked to the bedside and lay down on it!

[Shen Lan's hater rating +1]

A system notification popped up.

Lu Ang looked at the message and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Only a little?"

He squinted, a smile playing on his lips.

"Sister Lan's mental fortitude is impressive; she didn't turn against the person on the spot. She's really professional."

What I just did in the yard.

Snatching rooms, acting like a diva, making the cameraman carry their luggage...

Anyone else would probably have started cursing on the spot, but Shen Lan just silently gave her 1 point of hater value.

"As expected of someone who has managed a superstar, his ability to withstand pressure is top-notch."

Lu Ang silently gave his agent a thumbs up, then stretched and yawned.

He felt he needed to rest.

I don't feel it until I'm lying in bed.

As soon as I lay down,

He immediately felt exhausted.

Speaking of which, I've been working non-stop these past two days, messing with the system, buying negative trending topics, and even acting as a spammer.

It certainly exhausted his physical and mental strength.

He glanced at the constantly flashing system notification panel.

It's easy to imagine how "angry" the viewers watching the live stream are right now.

"Since the camera's on anyway, taking a nap should earn me some hater points, right?"

Lu Ang thought to himself.

I think that makes a lot of sense.

So he simply lay down on the large double bed, fully clothed.

I closed my eyes...

Three seconds later, even breathing sounds began.

Lu Ang fell asleep instantly.

……

In front of the monitor, Shen Lan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

She stared intently at the figure lying sprawled on the bed, fast asleep, her teeth clenched.

She finally let out a breath after a moment.

Has this kid really given up entirely?

She frowned, then shook her head.

That shouldn't be the case.

In her memory, although Lu Ang's professional skills were lacking, he was at least an obedient person, the kind who would do whatever she was told.

And wasn't he angry at all?

Are they really willing to take the blame and just accept their fate?

Thinking about all this, Shen Lan couldn't help but frown.

As his agent, she naturally had a clear understanding of Lu Ang.

Those negative stories circulating on Weibo now.

It has absolutely nothing to do with Lu Ang.

It was Xu Chenghao, another top celebrity in the company, who caused the incident.

Someone even took a picture of it.

It is precisely because Lu Ang and Xu Chenghao are quite similar in height, build, and appearance.

So, this unfortunate child was dragged into this and became the scapegoat.

After all, the two are worlds apart in terms of popularity.

The same goes for future potential.

And most importantly... Xu Chenghao is someone with connections.

Lu Ang, on the other hand, is an "ordinary person" with no connections or background.

Naturally, he was abandoned by the company.

He was forced to take the blame, a burden that had nothing to do with him.

Furthermore, the 300 million yuan penalty for breach of contract forced him to "bear the burden."

Although I already know enough about everything in the entertainment industry.

But these actions by the company.

It still made Shen Lan feel unable to accept it, and even made her feel nauseous!

Lu Ang is a very obedient and well-behaved good person!

Such people are rare in the entertainment industry.

But what she couldn't accept the most was that Lu Ang was someone she had personally signed.

She personally approached Lu Ang, who was just a minor internet celebrity, and persuaded him to sign with her so she could bring him into the entertainment industry.

But now, we face these consequences.

She certainly couldn't stand idly by!

Shen Lan originally wanted to use this dating reality show to create some space for Lu Ang to perform well and try to clear his name.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ang would do this on the show...

If he continues to offend people so recklessly, and doesn't seize the opportunity to turn his reputation around...

Given his utterly lackluster professional skills, he probably really has no other chance.

Because the company will definitely kick him while he's down, leaving him no chance to recover.

After all, Lu Ang's life is now intertwined with Xu Chenghao's.

If Lu Ang were to clear his name one day, or have the opportunity to reveal the truth, it would be a devastating blow to Xu Chenghao.

The company will never allow this to happen.

She gritted her teeth, a surge of frustration and disappointment welling up inside her.

This guy, why is he so useless?

When Mingming came over, I already told him that I would help him and that I would definitely not let him be suppressed like this...

Just then, my phone vibrated.

Shen Lan picked it up and took a look.

Caller ID: Secretary Zhou.

This is the company's general manager's secretary.

The reason she's calling now is probably because she brought Lu Ang onto the show.

The company probably already knows.

She remained calm and pressed the answer button.

"Sister Shen,"

A cautious young male voice came from the other end of the line, "Mr. Xu asked me to inform you that he wants to see you now. Would it be convenient for you to come back?"

"What is it? I'm still busy," Shen Lan said calmly.

The other party paused, then lowered their voice slightly: "It seems... Mr. Xu isn't too happy about the resources you arranged for Lu Ang."

"Those are my personal resources and have nothing to do with the company," Shen Lan said calmly, without a trace of emotion.

"I'm not quite sure about that..." The secretary sounded somewhat embarrassed. "Sister Shen, you really should come back. Mr. Xu's attitude is quite firm. We're just employees; we really can't do anything about it..."

"I see."

Shen Lan responded and then hung up the phone decisively.

She put her phone back in her pocket, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

Expel the restlessness and thoughts from your mind along with this stale air.

next moment.

Her eyes became clear and calm.

Shen Lan turned her head and looked at Xia Xiaoyue, the young female assistant who was trembling beside her.

"I'm leaving now. I'll leave things here to you. Keep an eye on him and make sure he performs well."

As Shen Lan spoke, she frowned slightly, "If it really doesn't work out... then let him be."

Assistant Xia Xiaoyue nodded vigorously.

Shen Lan took a step forward and glanced at the monitor screen one last time.

In the center of the picture, Lu Ang is sleeping soundly, with a blissful smile on his lips.

On another monitor that had been specially pulled out, a dense barrage of bullet comments had completely flooded the entire screen.

"Is this guy crazy??"

"You grab a room and then go to sleep??"

"Is this a dating reality show or a retirement home?"

"Get off the show!!"

"I have never seen such a shameless person!"

"I threw up, I really threw up."

"Can the production team kick him out? I can't take it anymore!"

Countless question marks and angry curses flooded the screen, with viewers expressing extreme shock and anger at Lu Ang's behavior of sleeping in the sea-view room with a straight face after taking it.

As a highly successful agent in the company, she felt pressured by this matter from Lu Ang.

It can still hold up.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have done that.

However, it can withstand it.

But pressure will always exist.

She also couldn't be sure how long she could hold out.

All we can do is try our best and leave the rest to fate!

Shen Lan withdrew her gaze, calmly turned and left.

……

Inside the master bedroom with ocean view.

Lu Ang was dreaming.

In his dream, a barrage of negative comments rained down on him.

He frantically clicked on the system lottery, watching helplessly as all the shortcomings on the panel skyrocketed.

He evolved directly into a flawless superstar, standing at the very center of the world stage, surrounded by thunderous applause and screams.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Lu Ang laughed out loud in his dream.

She rolled over, and the happiness on her lips shone even brighter.

……

Two hours later.

"Ring ring ring—"

The loudspeaker's blare echoed through the courtyard.

Lu Ang suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly in bed.

The production team probably couldn't stand it anymore, or maybe someone else was coming, so they used a ringtone to notify him.

Instead of getting up and going downstairs immediately, he summoned the system panel and eagerly checked the amount of hater points he had gained in the past two hours.

Current hater count: 15050

"Not bad, I took a nap and it went up another five thousand."

He nodded in satisfaction before getting up and tidying up.

Then, slipping on his slippers, he strolled over to the big tree in the yard.

I found a deck chair and sat down to cool off.

Since the new guest hasn't arrived yet, and there's nothing else to do.

So, Lu Ang opened his phone, skillfully opened Weibo, and switched to his alternate account, "Professional Pesticide".

Click into your own super topic.

Inside, there was still a chorus of curses.

"How can this scumbag even be on TV?"

"That trash who got a fan pregnant by sleeping with her, get out of the entertainment industry!"

……
