Chapter 878: Chapter 877: There Aren’t Many Interesting Souls

Chu Yifei’s Rest Room

“Where are you going now?”

Seeing him rise to his feet, Qing Ran, Chu Yifei’s agent, could not help but ask.

Since the street attack incident in M Country, Qing Ran had been jumpy, wishing to know every move of Chu Yifei.

“Yeqian has run into trouble; Xiaren and I are going to check on him,” Chu Yifei turned his head to look at Qing Ran, “Let’s postpone this afternoon’s engagement.”

“Yifei!” As soon as he heard Qiao Xiaren’s name, Qing Ran’s face darkened, wondering how he got entangled with this woman again.

“Don’t you think she has caused you enough trouble? That accident in M Country, don’t tell me it had nothing to do with her. If it weren’t for you recommending her in front of Director Qin, would Qiao Xiaren have had the chance to be in his film? You declined those engagements for her, it’s one thing to act in those low-tier TV dramas, but now you don’t hesitate to cancel this afternoon’s engagement because Yeqian is in trouble. Do you realize how important this afternoon’s fashion banquet is? It’s a great opportunity to build connections!”

“You’re wrong, even if I hadn’t recommended her, she would have risen from the ashes eventually. She would have become famous and been appreciated and recognized by directors and audiences alike, sooner or later; so this little help I offered her can only be seen as an act of kindness.”

Qing Ran was at a loss for words. Although he knew that everything Chu Yifei said was true, he could not quell the anger inside him.

“Regardless, you’d better stop getting involved with anything to do with Qiao Xiaren. In the matter of Yeqian’s issue, you shouldn’t have spoken out. Staying out of other people’s business is the survival rule for a star. If there’s a big shot behind the scene targeting Yeqian, getting involved will only ruin your future!”

On the matter of Yeqian, Qing Ran was strongly against Chu Yifei getting involved, yet Chu Yifei nonetheless posted on Weibo to support him unhesitatingly.

By taking this stance, some people started to mock and ridicule under Chu Yifei’s Weibo posts.

The world is full of keyboard warriors and those who think they’re the epitome of righteousness – but fortunately, Chu Yifei’s fans are strong and formidable, quickly silencing the trolls. Of course, Qiao Xiaren faced the same incident.

Even so, Qing Ran still worried that Chu Yifei might suffer from getting involved with Yeqian’s trouble.

However, this worry was useless; Chu Yifei simply would not listen.

Qing Ran kept advising earnestly, while Sang Jie listened on the side, thinking Qing Ran’s view was too extreme, yet couldn’t help acknowledging the correctness of his words.

The entertainment industry is like an arena; one careless step could lead to ruin.

Yet now, there’s a fresh current in this circle, and Qiao Xiaren and Chu Yifei are different! All they care about is genuinely doing well in their own roles, completely disregarding those so-called industry norms.

Thinking back, it suddenly seems that Qiao Xiaren and Chu Yifei are like an anti-establishment case study in the industry, one defiant and domineering, the other gentle yet cutting, both capable of bringing you down in seconds.

These two gods of the current times can truly challenge and change one’s worldview in an instant.

Sang Jie was still lost in her thoughts when suddenly she heard Chu Yifei say, “To ask me to ignore Yeqian and Qiao Xiaren, sorry, I can’t do that. If in the entertainment industry, all I can see are interests, so-called struggles and the endless cold shoulders, then all I can say is that this world is just too boring.”

How does the saying go? There are plenty of attractive people in the world, but few interesting souls.
