Chapter 775 - The Manager and the Movie Diva

Chapter 775: The Manager and the Movie Diva

Lin Xiaojuan was an artiste manager. She knew the rules well and did not speak much about it. Tong Hua was a child star, so he had no fate with winning awards. Until now, he had never gotten a proper male lead role. He was always acting as the child version of the male leads.
As such, he did not care about awards.
The Golden Award was the most important award in the nation. Tong Hua rarely attended the ceremony, and even if he went with Lin Xiaojuan, he would just be a visiting guest. He would rather stay at home and play mobile games.
A few female celebrities came over and smiled as they began gossiping. “I heard that Jing Yun has a very close relationship with the Yang Family. Yang Po is her godfather. You guys know.”
For a long time, Lin Xiaojuan had not cared about gossip about Jing Yun. When they mentioned this, she was surprised.
It was a common thing for people in the entertainment industry to look for an ‘ATM.’
A few stunning celebrities had something going on with their ‘ATMs’ privately. It was something common and had already been normalized. Yet, very few of the artistes that Lin Xiaojuan managed had such scandals.
She managed quite a few artistes, and throughout the time when she managed them, they barely had any scandals. They also got famous based on the productions they were in, and very few of them got famous from scandals.
Jing Yun greeted a few big celebrities and waited for the reporters to disperse before walking towards Lin Xiaojuan and Tong Hua. She shouted for Lin Xiaojuan in a manner as if they were close. “Xiaojuan, it has been a long time since we last met.”
She was two years older than Lin Xiaojuan. Her makeup was done very well, and she was beautiful. She looked at Lin Xiaojuan in a condescending manner, and there seemed to be a kind smile on her face. Lin Xiaojuan looked aloof. “It’s been long. Congrats.”
“I am the one who should congratulate you,” Jing Yun said. “The future wife of the Movie King.”
Tong Hua looked up and took a quick glance at her without making any sound.
Lin Xiaojuan smiled. “Thank you.”
After the short exchange between the two, Jing Yun did not really know how to end the conversation. The smile in her eyes subsided. As a famous Movie Diva who had come to greet a backstage artiste manager, the manager should be sucking up to her. She was used to being treated like a queen, so Jing Yun looked sad.
The celebrities that were just talking about how she got famous came over and greeted her passionately, giving her an outlet to step back. Lin Xiaojuan and Tong Hua were focused on looking at the auction list, so they did not continue the conversation. After Jing Yun had left, the fashion editor said, “Xiaojuan, I… noticed something. You are pretty similar to her.”
“Yeah.” Lin Xiaojuan laughed. “Face shape. If we do the same makeup, we might even be twins.”
Lin Xiaojuan was an artiste manager that people seldom saw. Generally speaking, she was prettier than the celebrities that she had managed before. There were several times when she got onto the hot topic list, but it was not with the Movie King; it was from the pictures of celebrities at the airport. She was prettier than her artistes.
The manager could debut already.
The manager is prettier than the celebrity.
There was news of so and so walking behind the manager looking like a helper.
These rumors made the artistes that she managed behave nicely around her while also convincing her to make herself look less appealing.
Lin Xiaojuan really dressed to look less appealing. She wore a simple t-shirt and jeans every day with no makeup on. At most, she would put on some lipstick, and she seldom stood near the artistes to prevent things from getting awkward. Ever since there was a scandal about her and the Movie King, Shen Qianshu brainwashed her to dress up well.
“Is she your relative?”
“No. We are not blood-related in the slightest bit. This is all a coincidence.”
Tong Hua said, “Aunt is way prettier than her. They look nothing alike.”
“I know you’re just trying to help her.” The fashion editor laughed and paused. He lowered his voice and seemed to hesitate. “Things didn’t go well for the two of you?”
Lin Xiaojuan sighed softly, and without any intention of hiding anything, she said, “Yeah!”
