Superstar's Development Diary
Chapter 149: Boss, Rest Assured!

Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Boss, Rest Assured!

A month later, the company they worked for was inexplicably warned by competitors, and their self-operated media public account and W account suddenly had a bunch of people reporting them.

Often, just a few hours after the company had launched a brand-new marketing account on a channel, it would be reported and the platform would suspend the account.

Even the not-so-shrewd company boss knew at that time that someone had set them up. He spent money to investigate and finally found that the problem lay with Sheng Yan.

So their paparazzi trio was urgently recalled, and the company even offered Tonghua Entertainment a generous apology. The "account suspension incident" then calmed down, and their boss repeatedly instructed them never to mess with Sheng Yan and to take a detour whenever they saw him.

After three hours after He Jinxia entered the affluent area, they discussed among themselves and decided not to follow her into the affluent area but to return to He Jinxia’s residence to lie in wait.

Well, that turned out great—they had guarded for a whole day, and instead of a rabbit, heaven had sent them an avenger of doom...

"Knock, knock, knock!" The sound of knocking on the car window rang out once again. The three paparazzi looked at each other, and finally, The Eldest gathered the courage to open the door.

Ah, why not just open the window, huh?

Hehe, they certainly didn’t want to taste the fury of the avenger possibly wiping them all out...

A boss should have the treatment that befits a boss.

Sheng Yan glanced at the three paparazzi inside the car, lightly dropped two words, and then turned and walked away.

"Follow."

The three paparazzi looked at each other and sheepishly followed him.

Sheng Yan walked to a secluded, open corner and stopped, turning his head to see the three paparazzi standing obediently behind him, motionless, all with their heads bowed, not daring to say a word.

He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, quite clever of them.

He slowly began, "You—"

All of a sudden, The Eldest shuddered, jolted his head up and said, "We won’t follow He Jinxia anymore! Don’t worry, boss!!"

Laoer, "..." Embarrassingly cowardice.

And the third, "..." A man of the moment indeed.

Sheng Yan stared at the speaking paparazzo, not helping but curling the corners of his mouth into a light smile. His deep, rich voice in the cold night carried an ominous tone:

"No need, you’re the first, but definitely not the last."

The Eldest furrowed his brows, cautiously asked, "What do you mean, Great God?"

Sheng Yan raised an eyebrow, his piercing gaze shooting right into his eyes, remaining silent.

The intense gaze made The Eldest tremble all over. The thoughts that flashed through his mind during the day suddenly surfaced again. Without further thought, he said immediately:

"Rest assured, Great God, we won’t expose her scandals. No, that’s not it! We will cooperate with He Jinxia’s company and strive to become long-term stable partners!"

Seeing a slight softening on Sheng Yan’s face, The Eldest thought there might be a chance and quickly repeated, "Right, a cooperative relationship; our relationship with He Jinxia is a cooperative one!"

Sheng Yan looked at him and then at the other two people standing behind him.

The Eldest promptly caught the hint, hurriedly pulling Laoer and the third to swear.

Laoer and the third tremulously repeated what The Eldest had said. Sheng Yan’s furrowed brow finally relaxed, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly, and he said, "You are very clever."

The other three paparazzi sighed in relief, but the next second, Sheng Yan added, "I trust you won’t disappoint me."

The three paparazzi shivered inwardly and immediately tensed up.

After dropping that statement, Sheng Yan turned and left. The paparazzi stood rooted to the spot, watching as he drove away like the most loyal of soldiers.

A few minutes later, a chill wind swept through, rustling their hair and breaking the bleak atmosphere with a sneeze.

Laoer rubbed his red nose, "The Eldest, can we go back now?"

The youngest touched his arm, chilled to the bone, "It’s so cold."

The Eldest glanced at them and sighed heavily, "Let’s go back. A demigod is not something us mere mortals can pursue; we’ve seen enough, let’s head back."

The cold wind scattered their words into the air, leaving no trace behind.

"Are we really going to show loyalty to He Jinxia? There are cases in the industry where artists collaborate with the media, where the artist provides the scoop and the media handles the promotion, but that’s only for top-tier stars, and He Jinxia is just second-tier."

"If she becomes a top-tier star, there will be heaps of media knocking on her door for collaborations. By then, we won’t get exclusive scoops from her anymore."

"But she’s still just a second-tier..."

"Yet she has the potential to be top-tier, and more importantly, she has backing! I knew she was no simple character; the heavens haven’t failed me, finally catching her scoop."

"Is that unspeakable person really that terrifying? From what I saw, they just have a stronger aura, truly not an ordinary individual."

"We can’t predict the power of a deity. Debuted and won a huge award, popularity soared to first-class, the second work raised them to top-tier status, and the third work immortalized them. Within just three years, they’re a top-tier superstar. How many in the industry can achieve that?"

"Are you saying, someone’s backing them up?"

"Every top-tier star is supported by massive capital markets. It’s not strange to have someone backing them. It’s said that the entire Tonghua Entertainment is theirs, do you believe that?"

"This, this isn’t true, is it?"

"Ah, you’re too young to believe, young man. Learn a bit from the aged; it doesn’t matter if it’s true or false, knowing that they can crush us with one hand is enough."

On the third day of the new year, He Jinxia received a call from Luo You asking her what earth-shattering thing she did over the New Year; she responded with a clueless expression.

He Jinxia frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion, "No, I just visited relatives normally."

Luo You repeated the question through the phone, "Really?"

He Jinxia, "At least, what you described, punching paparazzi, and kicking sneak photographers, absolutely not."

Luo You furrowed his brows, equally puzzled, "If nothing at all, then why did the paparazzi following you take the initiative to contact me, saying they want to collaborate with you long-term?"

He Jinxia blinked, "Collaborate?"

Luo You, "Yes, collaborate. Maintaining a stable relationship with some paparazzi, feeding them scoops to break, isn’t very common in the circle, but not rare either.

If the paparazzi are willing to collaborate with you, they’ll show a lot of restraint when writing articles when they break your stories. Their marketing accounts need sensational headlines to attract passersby, and celebrities need sensational scoops to maintain their popularity. If it’s done right, it’s mutually beneficial."

Luo You paused, then continued, "The one who came to you for collaboration this time is Yidian Entertainment, the media company that followed you to your doorstep, the same one that broke the news of Li Li visiting your hospital room in tears. What’s your intention?"
