The reporters who came to attend Xia Yuan’s press conference were so excited that they were glad they finally made the right choice this time or else they would have missed such a huge opportunity. They would have regretted it for life.

As for why the reporters thought they made the right choice? In fact, today was not only Xia Yuan’s debut day, but also the debut of Zhou Shaojin of Star Entertainment.

Almost every well-known media outlet had received two invitations at the same time. One was from Jun Ling Studio and the other was naturally from Star Entertainment.

“Fortunately, I chose to come to Jun Ling after struggling and hesitating for a long time, or else I definitely would have regretted it,” a reporter said happily.

“Me too. In fact, our editor-in-chief was more inclined to go to Star Entertainment’s conference. After all Star Entertainment is a veteran company, and the debut of their newcomers has always been more popular. But in the end, I resolutely chose this side, haha… My colleagues who didn’t come here must be hiding in a corner right now crying bitterly.”

“Needless to say, just the fact that Xia Yuan is Ye Luohan’s junior is enough to write a report. Not to mention, he’s also the champion of ‘Interstellar New Singer’. News of him won’t lose in comparison to Zhou Shaojin.”

“That’s right. Although Jun Ling Studio is still in the development stage, it will definitely develop even more in the future. It’s beneficial to have a good relationship with them in advance so we can get more resources in the future. Look at Miao Honghong from Media Bulletin. She gets an exclusive with Jun Ling Studio all the time. Media Bulletin is even growing now.”  “I didn’t expect Jun Ling Studio to be this generous. He actually asked God Ye to help a newcomer debut. Tsk…”

“Tomorrow’s headlines will probably be taken over by Jun Ling.”

“They were both contestants in ‘Interstellar New Singer’. According to reason, they shouldn’t have debuted on the same day, since that means less attention for them, but these two companies decided to choose to debut on the same day. I wonder if it’s really a coincidence or…” Several reporters discussed this matter. As reporters, they were sensitive to these kinds of events. They could sniff out information from what they’re looking for.

In any case, Xia Yuan’s debut press conference was very successful. The number of Weibo fans doubled all of a sudden. Xia Yuan, who was happy, couldn’t keep his mouth closed.

Some people rejoiced, while others were worried.

The atmosphere in the offices of Star Entertainment was very sluggish. A middle-aged man was fuming with anger. There were several people standing beside him with his head down. They were timid and standing silently, hoping to reduce their sense of existence.

“Damn, what did you guys eat? How could you make the debut press conference like this?”

Zhou Shaodong threw the newspaper in their faces. He wanted to tear them apart.

That was right. The middle-aged man was the son of the owner of Star Entertainment. And the current President Zhou Shaodong.

The reason he chose to have Zhou Shaojin’s debut on August 8th was to take all the headlines from Jun Ling Studio. He wanted to press the other party down and have them be ignored. However, he didn’t expect that the final result was just the opposite. Almost all the reports were about Jun Ling Studio, and their debut conference only took up an inconspicuous corner. Some media outlets didn’t even put them on the page and glossed it over with a single word. How could he not be angry!

Several supervisors stood there but didn’t dare say anything. In fact, they were also angry and were complaining in their hearts.

Originally, Zhou Shaojin was the singer they focused on cultivating. The album and everything else was created by a master, hoping to make him famous in one swoop of his debut. The debut date was originally set in September, but they didn’t expect the president to change it to August with one word. The preparation hadn’t been completely finished, so they had to rush this debut. It wasn’t weird that it wasn’t amazing.

However, they didn’t dare say these things to the president unless they didn’t want to work here anymore.

“President, this can’t be helped. After all, nobody thought that Ye Luohan would participate in a small newcomer’s debut press conference. You should also know that as long as Ye Luohan is there, it’s impossible for him not to grab the headlines.” One of the directors was pushed out by the others and said.

“Impossible? I never believed in the word impossible. If you work hard, nothing is impossible. We’ll forget about this time, since it’s only a debut. They are only just starting. But if you lose to Jun Ling in the future, then be ready to go home and write a resignation letter!” Zhou Shaodong yelled, then kicked everyone out of his office.

The faces of the several supervisors were also ugly. No matter, they could be regarded as the top level of the company, but they had been scolded by a president who was younger than them. It was natural for their expression to not be good.

“Sigh… Something like this happened and the president doesn’t look at himself but blames others for it. Can he blame us like this? If we had waited until we were fully prepared and debuted in September, then it would have been an instant hit. Then this scene wouldn’t have happened.” someone said, dissatisfied that Star Entertainment’s debut conference yesterday had become a joke in the industry. This was basically a strike to Star Entertainment.

“It can’t be helped since he’s president. The entire company is in his hands. He hardly listens to other people’s opinions. I’m really worried that Star Entertainment will go downhill.”

“That’s right. Since the president took over the company, there have been a lot of changes in the company, but he’s the only son of the old president. Who would the company be passed to if not him?”

“Alright. Let’s stop complaining. Be careful word doesn’t get back to him and he kicks us out.” Several high-level executives hurried back to their offices. What they had to do now was quickly formulate and develop a new plan. Because of the early debut, many things had changed. They had to keep up or else the president would definitely go crazy again.

Although he vented some of his anger on these high level executives, Zhou Shaodong still felt depressed.

He had never put Jun Ling Studio in his eyes, even if the other party had Ye Luohan. After all, it was a newly established studio. It was a fool’s dream to try and support a company with just one person. However, he had underestimated Ye Luohan’s influence.

Damn it to all those who dared to against him. Damn it! He would never let go of Jun Ling Studio. Even if he got that damn Guan Anhua fired, he still wouldn’t let them off.

Zhou Shaodong’s eyes were full of gloom. He was terrifying.

“Haha. Yesterday’s press conference was a real success. The album can be released. Countless fans on the official blog are clamoring to order the album.” Chen Hongliang looked at the screaming fans on the official blog and was in a good mood.

“Needless to say, our Yuanyuan sings so well. And with the help of god Karry, it’s hard for it to not succeed. As for that little clown that likes to bounce around, I’m sure he wants to explode right now,” Xiao Ming gloated.

Naturally, they had also read today’s report. It was only then that they found out yesterday was also Star Entertainment’s debut. They were all stunned when they saw this news.

Of course, the reason why everyone was confused was not because Star Entertainment had chosen to have the debut the same day as them, but because they didn’t hear anything about the debut yesterday on the news.

One had to know that in the entertainment industry, celebrity agents get the news the fastest. But none of them were aware of this news. Fans got their news even slower. These people debuted without even properly promoting their debut. They shed a tear to this newcomer who had fallen to this kind of company.

“Hmph, for them to choose to debut on this day. I don’t think it’s a coincidence. It’s clear they planned to compete with us for popularity, but it turns out that plan backfired. It serves them right.”

“I just pity this newcomer. It seems he participated in ‘Interstellar New Singer’ with Xia Yuan. He’s a good seedling, but was used by Zhou Shaodong.”

“Star Entertainment? Are you talking about Zhou Shaojin?”

“I remember Shaojin signed with Star Entertainment,” Xia Yuan suddenly asked. He had been busy rehearsing and recording songs for his debut recently that he hadn’t paid attention to other things. But when he heard the others talk about this, he suddenly remembered.

“Mn, him. I’ve walked a few episodes of ‘Interstellar New Singer’. The kid has a good voice, and his singing style is very unique. If he cultivates it, his future achievements won’t be low. But it’s a pity he signed with Star Entertainment, which is a company that destroys others,” Xiao Ming said regretfully.

“Actually, Star Entertainment used to be pretty good, but since it was inherited by Zhou Shaodong a few years ago, it’s slowly being destroyed by his hands,” Chen Hongliang said with a sigh.

“It seems that Zhou Shaodong really is planning to fight against us. He even tried to steal away our debut. I’m afraid they will be keeping a close eye on our resources in the future,” Xiao Ming said.

“Are you saying Zhou Shaodong is deliberatly targeting our company? Is it because of me?” Guan Anhua had been quietly listening, but the more he heard, the more he felt something was wrong.  Jun Ling and Star Entertainment had nothing to do with each other. At least there was no conflict as of recently. If Star Entertainment was targeting Jun Ling, then the only reason was because of him.

He had only gone out for a few days, so why did it feel like so much had happened?

“You rejected Zhao Mengran’s woman. She naturally went back to stir up a storm. But don’t worry,” Chen Hongliang admitted. He didn’t want Guan Anhua to bear any responsibility, but everyone knew about this matter. There was no need to hide it.

When Guan Anhua heard this, his face became a little gloomy. At the same time, he blamed himself. “I’m sorry, I didn’t expect to cause this much trouble to everyone.”

It had been years. He didn’t expect the other party to still chase after him. Was she trying to force him to death? He didn’t settle accounts with the other party, he they weren’t leaving him alone.

“You’re a part of us now. When I asked you to be an agent, I considered all of this. So there’s no need to blame yourself. You don’t have to be afraid,” Luo Lingxing comforted.

He never took Star Entertainment seriously. After all, the Su and Xi families were just as powerful as the Zhou family, and he didn’t really pay attention to those people either, let alone the Zhou family, which was like a flea.

If the other party didn’t harass them too much, he wouldn’t deal with them either. But if they tried to target Jun Ling Studio, then it wouldn’t just be a grudge between them and Guan Anhua. He definitely wouldn’t stand idly by!
