1. The day she became the manager of the top boy group Vulpes.
Jiang Zhao stood at the conference table in a sharp suit, laying out the situation and predicting the future in concise, cutting words. She was just like the hazy reflection of herself in the floor-to-ceiling glass windows high above the ground:
A delicate, beautiful face, skin as pale as cold porcelain, lips as red as wine. Like frost drenched in blood, or a lone rose blooming among thorny vines.
The group members wore solemn expressions, apparently impressed by her presence.
Only the group's undisputed center, Liang Buhuan, the emperor of domestic entertainment, propped up his chin and gazed at her with a carefree, uninhibited smile. It was impossible to tell whether he was listening, but one thing was certain: he didn't care.
Jiang Zhao sent the others out, leaving Liang Buhuan alone.
The conference room door closed.
Jiang Zhao got straight to the point. "Want to quit the industry?"
If not, then behave yourself.
Liang Buhuan's eyes lit up. "Sure!"
He was tired of being a celebrity and wanted to go back and inherit his family's fortune of tens of billions.
Jiang Zhao: "..."
Jiang Zhao put her icy expression back on, pretending nothing had happened. She repeated what she'd said before, then called everyone else back in before Liang Buhuan could speak again and continued the meeting.
From then on, as long as there was even the slightest chance that Liang Buhuan would cooperate with the work, Jiang Zhao never spoke to him alone again.
Liang Buhuan: What a shame.
2. Everyone in domestic entertainment knows Liang Buhuan is a spoiled idol.
Born into a wealthy family, impossibly handsome, a top-tier star, and wanting for neither money nor love, he can fire a manager he's worked with for years on a whim, and even his fans cheer him on.
Even so, no one would have imagined that he would dare to beat up a newly crowned Best Actor on camera, grab him by the collar, his eyes full of viciousness, his smile sinister, and whisper a warning in his ear: "Try touching Jiang Zhao again."
That night, Jiang Zhao's phone rang off the hook.
She turned around and asked, holding back her temper, "What on earth are you trying to do?!"
Liang Buhuan leaned on the balcony railing, stirring the water in the fish tank with his index finger until the goldfish began foaming at the mouth. Only then did he answer in a muffled voice: "I want to quit the industry."
Top-tier stars aren't even allowed to date. This is no fun.
#I'm so handsome, charming, irresistible, cute, and adorable. When is Jiang Zhao finally going to fall for me? I want to spoil her so badly#
#Praying that tomorrow will be another ordinary day, with that spoiled idiot of a top-tier star behaving himself and not causing any trouble#
A fake-icy, gorgeous manager x a genuinely rich, impossibly handsome top-tier star in domestic entertainment
No real-life inspiration. Not realistic.
The group name was made up on a whim.
