Transmigrated as the Tortured Female Lead's Daughter

Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Favoritism

The shining stone meant that the plot of the original novel was about to collapse.

The remaining power was reduced, and it was trying its best to influence the characters’ psychology. Unfortunately, due to Gu Chu’s strong influence, the plot had been changed greatly, and the brightness of the moonlight stone became more and more obvious.

Gu Chu’s fair and clean little face appeared in Lin Mo’s mind, and the beautiful face of the arrogant and despotic Ace of Hearts appeared. The two overlapped.

Lin Mo’s pale face showed a hint of a smile. There were probably more than ten years left.

I’ll wait for you to grow up.

In Hengdian, Song Chen left the hospital and called Gu Manxi’s manager, Lisa.

Song Chen stopped by the corridor window and said, “I saw the work schedule you gave Manxi. It’s too tight. Did you do it on purpose?”

Gu Manxi’s work schedule was mainly for filming and movie promotion.

Lisa, on the other hand, had accepted many high-end advertising endorsements for Gu Manxi, resulting in Gu Manxi’s schedule being very tight these days. She did not even get five hours of sleep a day.

Lisa wore a well-ironed suit and black-rimmed glasses. Her black hair was neatly tied up, giving her the demeanor of a professional agent.

She calmly explained, “The movie box office is selling like crazy. Gu Manxi’s career is on the rise. She should take advantage of this and quickly increase her influence in the industry.”

Song Chen looked at her indifferently.

Lisa was frightened by this sharp gaze and subconsciously said, “Mr. Song, the entertainment industry’s resources are limited. The competition for resources is fierce, and I got Manxi high-end endorsements to consolidate her position.”

Lisa said this, but she felt very guilty.

She had the element of revenge.

She did not like Gu Manxi’s “pretense.”All the artists who entered the entertainment industry had their ambitions written on their faces, but Gu Manxi always acted too gentle and quiet. This strange mentality could probably be called [ jealousy ].

Perfection causes people to be jealous.

“I’ve said it before, Manxi doesn’t follow the path of popularity. She follows the path of strength,” Song Chen said, “What she needs is to hone her acting skills in movies and TV dramas. What she needs to do is to become an experienced actress in the entertainment industry, not a temporary celebrity who will soon disappear after some fame.”

Lisa: “B-But it’s impossible for her to make money for the company just by acting! Her current high-end endorsement price is more than five million, and she can make tens of millions of profits for the company every year.”

In Lisa’s opinion, wasn’t an artist a product that could make money for the company?

All that talk about relying on strength to gain a foothold was nonsense.

Take Cao Yuezhi for example. Cao Yuezhi had never relied on acting to make money. She had only used movies and television dramas to increase her popularity. The various high-end endorsements she had, the merchandise around her, and the number of fans she had were the real bargaining chips for her to earn tens of millions.

Song Chen said, “Manxi is not a commodity.”

Lisa stomped her feet. “Mr. Song!”

Song Chen said, “From now on, all the endorsements and advertisements she takes have to be approved by me. As for you, the company has a new batch of artists. You can go and pick a few of them to be their manager.”

In other words, Lisa was no longer Gu Manxi’s manager.

Lisa was good at leading artists who walked the path of popularity. She had always looked down on those who wanted to reply on their skills instead of publicity.

Lisa gritted her teeth and said in an unconvinced tone, “Mr. Song, you’re openly favoring Gu Manxi. It’s unfair to the other artists.”

Song Chen raised his eyebrows. “If I reduce Manxi’s endorsements, wouldn’t the other artists have more opportunities? Why would it be unfair?”

Lisa was momentarily speechless.

It seemed that this would be logical. Gu Manxi could use this time to hone her skills and maybe accept two to three high-end endorsements every year. She would not block the path of the new artists at all. She would even give them a lot of resources.

After a pause, Song Chen smiled. “Also, Manxi is my wife. Of course, I’m biased towards her.”
