Wan Tong didn’t dare to go anywhere and directly sent Geng Yue back to his apartment building.
The community was very quiet, and it was mealtime, so there weren’t many people around.
“Geng Yue, I’ll just drop you off here, go rest.” Wan Tong parked the car and looked at Geng Yue, who seemed to exude a pressure.
Suddenly, Geng Yue looked outside the car window and gestured to Wan Tong, “There are paparazzi over there.”
Wan Tong quickly looked, but she wasn’t as sensitive as Geng Yue, so she didn’t notice anything unusual.
However, since he said so, there must be something.
“Then you quickly get off, I need to leave quickly so that you won’t be photographed.” Wan Tong moved back and urged Geng Yue to get off.
But Geng Yue looked at her, gestured for her to come closer, “Come here for a moment.”
Thinking he wanted to show her the direction of the paparazzi, Wan Tong naively leaned over.
Instead, he placed his hand on the back of her head, lowered his head, and his thin lips pressed against hers. Unlike before, this time his tongue took away a trace of blood from her lower lip.
“This time, how are you going to clear our relationship?” Geng Yue whispered in her ear.
Wan Tong, both angry and anxious, punched his chest, “Geng Yue, are you crazy? You just said there were paparazzi!”
Geng Yue’s broad hand gently covered her fist, staring at her with red and moist eyes, his Adam’s apple rolled uncontrollably, and his gaze became heated, “You are afraid of implicating me, so you refuse to accept me. Isn’t that right?”
Thinking of the two previous incidents where he kissed her and trouble followed, she was sure this time would be even more unfortunate.
Her mind was in chaos for a moment, tears welled up in her eyes, “Geng Yue, I will really bring you misfortune…”
Geng Yue’s fingertip brushed over the wound on her lip, then he lowered his head to kiss her again. After a moment, he pulled back, his voice deep and hoarse, “Then I’ll have to kiss you several more times because when I kiss you, I feel like I’m the happiest and luckiest person in the world.”
Looking into his dark and profound eyes, her heart seemed to be held in his hands, and her heartbeat was no longer under her control.
“Get off the car.” She uttered two words, her eyelids drooping, and tears rolled down.
The tear fell precisely on Geng Yue’s hand, making him stiffen.
A surge of impulse arose in his heart. He wanted to take her home, lock her in, and not let her go anywhere.
But he also knew he didn’t want to see her cry.
After Geng Yue got out of the car, Wan Tong did see a few flashes in the dark. She didn’t know if the scene just now had been captured, so she could only turn around and leave.
The buzzing sound of her vibrating phone brought Wan Tong back to reality.
She answered and put it on speakerphone. Lin Ruoruo’s voice came through, “Little agent, are your classmates bullying you? I thought you were quite shrewd. How did you end up like this in school, being isolated and ostracized? Poor thing. Let me tell you, little agent, this is an easy problem to solve. Give me the information and names of those three, and I’ll have someone teach them a lesson and they won’t be able to find work anymore!”
Lin Ruoruo’s rapid-fire speech made it hard for Wan Tong to interrupt. She could only wait until Lin Ruoruo finished and then responded, “How do you know about my school situation? It’s not a big deal, they’re just being momentarily quick with their mouths.”
“The situation has become quite big. Your video is circulating on Weibo. What a joke, if you’re a jinx, can I still get endorsement deals?
“Weibo? What video?”
“Little agent, take a look for yourself. I need to organize my Weibo first; I feel like I’m about to become popular.” Lin Ruoruo hung up after saying this.
While waiting at a red light at a crossroads, Wan Tong sent a WeChat message to Geng Yue.
[Give me money.]
Three words were sent without further explanation.
Geng Yue immediately transferred the money.
Wan Tong took the money and then deleted the contact…
This was a double guarantee. On one hand, she took his money, and on the other hand, she distanced herself from him. That should neutralize his bad luck, right?
With this thought in mind, Wan Tong returned to Lin Ruoruo’s luxurious villa.
Lin Ruoruo, drinking red wine in the bathtub, heard Wan Tong’s return and shouted, “Little agent, check the hot search!”
Wan Tong glanced at her schedule before logging into Weibo.
In the afternoon, when she was arguing with her roommate in the school library, someone recorded a video. After it was uploaded, it unexpectedly gained popularity.
She was already somewhat known at school, and combined with her delicate features and beauty in the video, confidently facing three people without showing any panic, the netizens surprisingly sided with her. Anyone facing mockery from dormitory mates would probably retaliate.
However, classmates mysteriously educated netizens about her, labeling Wan Tong as a ‘jinx’ and someone plagued by bad luck.
The entertainment industry was small. Once on the hot search, people quickly discovered that Wan Tong was actually an agent at Star Entertainment.
The artist she managed, Lin Ruoruo, was currently filming Director Chen’s new movie “White Tea” and had received good endorsement offers recently. Although a newcomer without notable works, she had accepted several good advertisements and was well-received on variety shows. Each time she attended an event, she had the chance to stand on stage with A-listers.
Although Lin Ruoruo seemed lukewarm for now, with the right opportunities, she might take off.
When Wan Tong was exposed as Lin Ruoruo’s agent, someone online even posted pictures of the two together.
Now things were getting out of hand. Not only was Lin Ruoruo’s agent pure and beautiful, like a little fairy, but her two bodyguards were also mixed-race, tall, handsome, and with high aesthetics!
Wan Tong watched Lin Ruoruo’s Weibo followers skyrocket from a hundred thousand to a million, with a continuing upward trend. Her own Weibo also experienced the same surge.
No wonder Lin Ruoruo needed to tidy up her Weibo.
Wan Tong soon received a call from Zhang Liaoran, saying that the press release had been sent out. It was a carefully prepared press release boasting about Lin Ruoruo’s team’s aesthetics, waiting for the right opportunity.
And here it was, the opportunity.
But Wan Tong wasn’t nervous about these developments. She was wondering when Hu Yanting would approach her.
Now that she was exposed as the ‘jinx,’ would he suspect that she had come specifically to bring him bad luck?
After all, he is a Raider, and the things he encounters are inherently strange. It is normal for him to believe that she has such a special physique.
Moreover, she and Geng Yue are from the same school. If Hu Yanting delves a little deeper into investigating her, he will also find that she knows Geng Yue.
On the other hand, Wan Tong also has to worry about Geng Yue. What did those paparazzi outside his apartment really capture? Will it have any impact on him?
In this way, Wan Tong spent two days in anxiety.
Lin Ruoruo became popular due to the high-appearance-value team, bringing a wave of attention to Director Chen’s “White Tea.”
Wan Tong and the bodyguards Tom and Jack was being poached by other agencies every day.
At first, Lin Ruoruo was worried that Wan Tong might run away, sweetly smiling at her every day, calling her a ‘beautiful little agent.’ However, Lin Ruoruo remained as arrogant as ever towards the two bodyguards, unafraid that they might be poached.
Wan Tong certainly had no intention of leaving yet, but to her surprise, Tom and Jack were not moved at all. After quietly asking them, she learned that their annual salary was also astonishingly high. Why would they want to be a star, pleasing fans in the limelight? The young lady was just playing around; who knows when she might get tired of it.
Wan Tong expressed understanding, thinking that Lin Ruoruo might not last a few years.
After all, Lin Ruoruo still had to go back to inherit the family property.
When the heat around Wan Tong and Lin Ruoruo subsided, Geng Yue and the boyband Stone took over the headlines for two consecutive days on various media websites.
Considering the different directions the members wanted to take, Tianyue Entertainment decided to let the members go solo but not disband.
This decision triggered resistance from the fan base. Although officially not disbanding, the five members rarely appearing together in the future felt like a disaster to the fans.
Wan Tong was also caught off guard by this news. In the world’s plot, there was no such twist; the boyband Stone was supposed to stay together and become the best memory of this generation.
She didn’t know what this change meant for Geng Yue, but many netizens had high hopes, especially for Geng Yue, the most popular and promising member. If he could develop individually, it might not be a bad thing.
In this situation, Hu Yanting called Wan Tong to his office.
“Give me your phone,” Hu Yanting directly asked her for the phone.
Wan Tong hesitated for a moment, “President Hu, is there something wrong? This involves my privacy…”
“Do you know Geng Yue?” Hu Yanting sat in his chair, elbows on the desk, looking up at her with a gaze that wasn’t as usual, with a hint of anger.
It seemed he had indeed investigated her thoroughly.
There was no change in Wan Tong’s expression, “Why wouldn’t I know? He’s been trending these past two days.”
Lin Ruoruo is a fan of Geng Yue, and she usually asks Wan Tong to pay attention to his schedule, even hoping for a chance to share the stage with him. So now Wan Tong can openly browse news about Geng Yue.
“I mean, privately, are you familiar with him?” Hu Yanting continued to ask.
Wan Tong shook her head, “Not really, I’ve met him a few times.”
Her answer was calm and confident, showing no signs of guilt.
If casual greetings didn’t count as meetings, their private interactions hadn’t exceeded ten times.
“Since you joined my company, nothing good has happened around me.”
“I think I’m doing well with Lin Ruoruo.”
Hu Yanting choked. This was the strange thing he found. If she was really a jinx, Lin Ruoruo’s current development was indeed more than ten times better than other newcomers.
Wan Tong stayed in Hu Yanting’s office for more than ten minutes, enduring his questioning and doubts with ease, then left as if nothing had happened.
Watching her leave, Hu Yanting couldn’t help but think about her several times caring for him before and once again fell into the mystery.
[System, can’t you figure out who Geng Yue’s ‘white moonlight’ is?]
[The name is not mentioned in the world’s plot, and the system cannot confirm.]
Hu Yanting rubbed his forehead, clenched his fist, and slammed the table hard.
He felt that in this world, there were not only Raiders but also others who were somehow helping Geng Yue.
At first, he thought it was Zhong Yuheng, but later he found out that she was purely a face control. Although she was lazy, she wouldn’t go out of her way to help Geng Yue.
So, he shifted his suspicious gaze to Jin Wantong.
This girl who once deliberately got close to him seemed to have something peculiar about her. He would slowly figure it out.
Back in Lin Ruoruo’s office, Wan Tong breathed a sigh of relief, then was enthusiastically hugged by Lin Ruoruo. “Little agent, this is great! I have the opportunity to be on stage with Geng Yue!”
Wan Tong : “…” I really don’t want to go.
This time, Geng Yue wasn’t harmed by her, thanks to her timely handling—taking the money and deleting WeChat. What a heartless woman she is…
If she met the boss now, wouldn’t she be killed?
