The Golden Agent

For Shen Tong, the most mysterious person was undoubtedly Chen Xiaoyong's agent. According to the company's people, he was the most professional and well-connected agent at Fengxing. How Chen Xiaoyong, a relatively new artist, managed to become his client was unknown.

Today, Shen Tong had the fortune of meeting him. As soon as she arrived at the company in the morning, she received a call from Liang Xiaoyuan. He instructed Shen Tong to bring Chen Xiaoyong to the director's office.

In the office, besides Liang Xiaoyuan, there were also Xie Sangyan and another low-key middle-aged man.

"Everyone's here. Please, take a seat," Liang Xiaoyuan motioned for Shen Tong to sit as well.

But Shen Tong acted as if she didn't hear him and stood behind Chen Xiaoyong. She knew Chen Xiaoyong's temperament; if she sat down, how could she serve her tea and attend to her needs?

"Brother Yang, what brings you here?" Chen Xiaoyong's stunning face was full of surprise upon seeing the man.

The man addressed as 'Brother Yang' had a neat short haircut but was clearly not young. When he saw Chen Xiaoyong, a flash of disdain crossed his eyes, followed by a slight nod. "We need to discuss matters regarding you and Miss Xie. Have a seat."

Shen Tong was stunned by this scene; it was the first time she saw Chen Xiaoyong being so ingratiating towards someone. During their conversation, Shen Tong learned that this unassuming middle-aged man was indeed Chen Xiaoyong's agent, Yang Song.

"Brother Yang, what do you mean?" Liang Xiaoyuan's expression was quite serious, showing his respect for Yang Song.

Yang Song said, "I have an announcement for a variety show. Miss Xie and Chen Xiaoyong will participate together. This show must dispel the previous rumors."

The so-called rumors were merely news about the discord between Chen Xiaoyong and Xie Sangyan. Chen Xiaoyong always saw Xie Sangyan as her biggest rival since her debut, often competing with her overtly or covertly. This was no secret within the company.

"Well…" Chen Xiaoyong's face immediately changed, but she had to continue due to Yang Song's presence.

Yang Song interrupted Chen Xiaoyong in a tone that brooked no argument, "That's settled. Now it's up to Director Liang."

Liang Xiaoyuan seemed a bit hesitant. He looked at Xie Sangyan sitting beside him and signaled her with his eyes. Xie Sangyan didn't even think twice and said, "Since Brother Yang has spoken, I have no objections. I just hope Miss Chen will cooperate."

"She has to cooperate!" Yang Song said without hesitation, as if Chen Xiaoyong's opinion didn't matter. "You all know the importance of this program, so I won't elaborate."

"Since Miss Xie agrees, I have no objections. When will the show be recorded?" Liang Xiaoyuan asked as Yang Song looked at him.

"This afternoon. I've already arranged everything. You just need to go." Yang Song added, "I will arrange for someone to take you."

"Thank you very much," Liang Xiaoyuan smiled warmly at Yang Song.

"You're welcome. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't keep you, Director Liang." Yang Song finished speaking and stood up to leave.

Liang Xiaoyuan quickly stood up, "Brother Yang, let me see you off."

"No need, Director Liang. I have things to do. Chen Xiaoyong, come with me." Yang Song directly addressed Chen Xiaoyong.

"Alright," Chen Xiaoyong hurriedly stood up and prepared to leave with Yang Song.

Shen Tong quickly followed Chen Xiaoyong, entering an office with Yang Song. Shen Tong tactfully closed the door behind them.

"Who is she?" Yang Song was somewhat surprised to see Shen Tong following them.

"She's my new assistant, no problem," Chen Xiaoyong said indifferently.

The implication was that Shen Tong was trustworthy. After Chen Xiaoyong spoke, Yang Song scrutinized Shen Tong. The girl appeared plain but seemed unfathomable.

Shen Tong was unnerved by Yang Song's probing and skeptical gaze. However, she bravely met his eyes, "Hello, Brother Yang. I'm Shen Tong."

"Hello," Yang Song replied briefly, then sternly addressed Chen Xiaoyong, "I'm warning you, Chen Xiaoyong. Don't provoke Xie Sangyan. If you do, even I can't handle it."

"Brother Yang, what do you mean? With your influence, you're afraid of Liang Xiaoyuan?" Chen Xiaoyong spoke without thinking, making Shen Tong worry.

"It's not about fear. There are many things you don't know. Xie Sangyan is not simple; she's backed by more than just Liang Xiaoyuan!" Yang Song replied.

"Then who's backing her?" Chen Xiaoyong persisted.

Yang Song was forced to answer, "Lu Huan, heir to the Lu Group. You know him, don't you?"

"Hehe, I know Lu Huan. He's cold-blooded. How could he be interested in Xie Sangyan?" Chen Xiaoyong laughed mockingly.

"That's because he's cold to you. Even the coldest people have someone they care about. Soon, you might hear their scandal. Don't you know? She snatched the Lu Group endorsement from you!" Yang Song retorted bluntly.

"But…" Chen Xiaoyong was still unwilling.

"No buts. I'm telling you, offending Xie Sangyan is one thing, but don't mess with Lu Huan! Or you'll regret it. He's very vengeful!" Yang Song warned.

"I understand," Chen Xiaoyong finally relented.

Shen Tong, who had been eavesdropping, knew that Chen Xiaoyong's compliance was temporary. She had entered the room to gather insider information, and she succeeded.

So, Xie Sangyan had ties with Lu Huan of the Lu Group. This woman was not simple; she had backing even as she started her career in China. Shen Tong wondered if Liang Xiaoyuan knew about this.

"I have other things to do. I'm leaving," Yang Song said casually, not giving Chen Xiaoyong a chance to speak.

The office was left with just Chen Xiaoyong and Shen Tong. Shen Tong hadn't fully processed the information when she saw Chen Xiaoyong throwing teacups and documents off the desk!

"Xie Sangyan, you bitch!" she cursed fiercely while throwing things.

Shen Tong braced herself for the cleanup. Given Chen Xiaoyong's temper, she would surely make her clean up the mess.

"Shen Tong, let me tell you, don't take Brother Yang's words seriously. Ignore Xie Sangyan whenever you see her. She and I cannot coexist!" Chen Xiaoyong was clearly furious. To her, it was unfair that someone else easily took the endorsement she wanted.

"Yes, Miss Chen. I understand," Shen Tong replied helplessly, complying with Chen Xiaoyong's demands. After all, she was Chen Xiaoyong's subordinate.
