Chapter 86: One Word Sealed! Double Joy Arrives!

The production team of "Wei Wei" passed word to Shuangzi: the actor you felt was unsuitable—we've assigned them a new role! This one has little interaction with the male lead, but you'll have scenes together~

"Can't get rid of them no matter what, fucking annoying!"

Already troubled by her relationship issues, now even this "small matter" had become such a hassle.

Was the production team trying to undermine her?

Anger flared—fuck it, whoever!

What if she just quit? She had plenty of scripts lined up—she could just walk out.

She'd assumed that if she walked out, the production team would definitely back down, since they'd once actively pursued her for the role.

But to Shuangzi's disappointment, after she made her stance clear, the "Wei Wei" production team went dead silent—as if they'd died.

As if infected by some capybara mentality: you act? Fine. You don't act? Also fine.

Sometimes, what breaks the camel isn't just the final straw.

When Shuangzi's deal was nearly confirmed and the news went public, original novel fans erupted online—because her image bore no resemblance whatsoever to Bei Weiwei's description in the book.

Completely unrelated.

Could the novel fans possibly stay silent?

If it had been a lesser-known artist, they'd have been immediately torn apart by the novel fans.

From this moment, certain things and thoughts had already begun to accumulate.

But they were suppressed beneath her traffic and fan numbers.

As incident piled upon incident, the production team naturally chose to play dead...

Some might find it a pity—after all, Shuangzi's traffic was truly high, and she had many diehard fans.

But others thought: One word sealed! Double joy arrives!

Female lead recast!

Old Jia, old Jia... you're really something!

Yang Yang's mind held only this one thought: his agent was truly miraculous.

He'd just "predicted" it—and sure enough, the scandal exploded.

Jia Shikai wore an "everything under control" expression, though inside he was equally stunned.

No way? You're serious? I just said it offhand!

Is this really that weird?!

He really wanted to call Cai Yinong and ask what the hell this Bai Liang guy was all about.

But then he reconsidered—this probably had nothing to do with that kid; even if he was strange, he couldn't possibly have that much power or ability to make Shuangzi quit voluntarily.

Jia Shikai was among the most experienced agents, with a rich background in the industry.

He'd worked at Tian Yu, backed by Mango TV; joined Dongwang Culture; moved to Yin Yu Music; dabbled in Tang Ren; finally used Huanrui as his springboard, serving as Vice President and General Manager of Huanrui Century, before leaving to start his own company with Yang Yang.

One of his greatest strengths was building his image in front of artists, making them trust him more.

So even though this time he'd just blurted out nonsense—and it happened to be right—it didn't stop him from using it to further strengthen his "authority."

"Push 'Wei Wei' to a lower priority—focus on other projects first."

This time, Yang Yang didn't ask why—he simply nodded.

But since he didn't ask, Jia Shikai added more: "The movie version is also being filmed; likely one will premiere while the other airs, cross-promoting buzz. Right now, the drama's situation is unclear—it could easily become a stepping stone for others to step on. We don't even know who the new female lead will be. This project is turning into muddy water—best not to wade in."

Yang Yang nodded along as he listened—Totally right, bro! Makes perfect sense!

"Celebrate! Must celebrate!" Sister Yanzi opened champagne~

Seeing how happy she was, Bai Liang naturally took her out for a lavish meal.

But he was curious—had his luck become unusually mild lately?

Or was Shuangzi's pressure valve not strong enough? Or was the malice insufficient, not pure enough?

Voluntary withdrawal... resulting in what outcome?

Could there be more to come?

He was eager to watch, wanting to see exactly what his current situation was.

After a frenzy of excitement, Sister Yanzi remained highly energized, seeing it as a good omen, and casually mentioned to Bai Liang that her studio was hiring.

During Bai Liang's time back in Shanghai, Sister Yanzi had mainly been busy registering the studio.

"Big Brother Bai, after 'Wuxin Fashi' aired, your fame had already grown significantly—several brands have contacted me about endorsement deals."

Sister Yanzi had told him this before, but her advice was to wait.

Negotiate when the heat from "Wuxin Fashi" peaks—it'll fetch a much better price.

Also, give yourself time to gain followers.

Bai Liang's Weibo followers still hadn't reached a million—he felt he lacked the confidence to negotiate prices.

"Hiring? How many people?" Bai Liang asked curiously.

"Uh... we need a basic structure. Right now, our studio is just the two of us. Sometimes when I'm off doing other things, no one's here with you—you look all alone, like some unknown amateur."

"Whether someone follows me around doesn't matter—I don't need someone to carry my bags."

"I'm not hiring someone just to carry bags—that's my job. We need some professionals..."

"Then hand it all over to you."

"Uh... all to me?" Sister Yanzi, who had just spoken so confidently, suddenly lost her confidence.

"You understand way more than I do—who else would I give it to?"

Sister Yanzi: Does he really trust me this much? I'm just a rookie!

At this moment, she finally understood what Yang Xing meant—that following Bai Liang might bring her something entirely different.

She couldn't help but imagine: a newbie agent and a top-tier star starting from zero?

Fortunately, Sister Yanzi wasn't one to lose her head over romance—she thought only about her career.

If Bai Liang really became a top-tier star under her management, she'd be absolutely legendary!

Just thinking about it filled her with energy—so what if she had to start a studio? If she didn't know how, she'd learn, slowly but surely!

The fatigue Yanzi had felt from work vanished instantly.

From now on, call her a nuclear-powered donkey!

But after dropping Bai Liang "home," Sister Yanzi hesitated, then gently spoke up:

"Brother Xiao Bai, living permanently in Zha's place—isn't that a bit inappropriate? Why don't we rent an apartment instead?"

If this got out, it'd definitely look like cohabitation—media won't care whether you sleep in the same bed or not.

"No need to rent right now—I had a motorhome custom-built last few days. It's more convenient."

"A motorhome?"

"Yeah, I had it specially designed—I already paid over four hundred thousand as a deposit."

Sister Yanzi suddenly felt a bad premonition. "Brother Xiao Bai, how much of your past drama salaries have you spent?"

"I didn't calculate it exactly—less than one hundred thousand left."

Sister Yanzi's expression was complex, but she wasn't overly shocked by Bai Liang's reckless spending.

What truly occupied her mind was this: she'd finally found a clear flaw in her boss.
