Xie Mengran talked with Su Zhiyi on the phone for another hour, discussing in detail the plan for Su Zhiyi and Jiang Yuanheng to stir up a wealthy brother-sister couple CP, the new drama script, and later work arrangements.
After ending the call, Xie Mengran pushed Jiang Yuanheng's contact card to her.
[Xie Mengran: [Recommended a contact—YH]]
[Xie Mengran: This is Jiang Yuanheng's WeChat. Add him.]
[Su Zhiyi: Thanks, Sister Xie~]
Su Zhiyi tapped the contact card Xie Mengran sent. The person used a cartoon golden retriever puppy avatar, the puppy basking in sunlight with a grin brighter than the sun.
Just from the avatar, Jiang Yuanheng seemed like a very easygoing person.
What bad intentions could someone with a puppy avatar have?
She also curled her lips into a faint smile and sent a friend request to Jiang Yuanheng.
Big stars like him, who were in high demand, were always busy. She had just sent the request, and maybe he wouldn't reply until the evening.
Su Zhiyi planned to put away her phone after sending the request and go downstairs to buy groceries and cook.
But the moment the request was sent, before she even exited WeChat, he accepted instantly and sent a message.
[YH: Is this Sister Zhiyi?]
So fast?
Su Zhiyi first changed Jiang Yuanheng's nickname to "Jiang Yuanheng," then returned to their chat and replied.
[Su Zhiyi: Hello! I'm Su Zhiyi from Qianyue Entertainment.]
[Su Zhiyi: I've heard so much about you. I really love your songs! It's such an honor to work with you~]
The last sentence was something Su Zhiyi casually made up to build rapport.
In fact, she had no real impression of this old classmate from high school. She couldn't even remember her high school deskmate's name, so how could she remember a junior she'd only met a few times?
But this junior seemed as warm as his avatar, calling her "Sister" right away—one might think she had a bigger career than him.
Jiang Yuanheng seemed flattered by Su Zhiyi's friendliness, especially when she said she liked his songs. His non-existent puppy tail wagged like a propeller, and his enthusiasm skyrocketed, as if the puppy ears on his avatar were bouncing through the screen.
[Jiang Yuanheng: Really? You still remember me? I thought after so long, you'd forgotten me!]
[Jiang Yuanheng: I have a deluxe physical album I released recently. Since you like my songs, how about I give it to you as a gift? ^_^]
"Deluxe physical album?" Su Zhiyi frowned in confusion. "What's that?"
"Host, Jiang Yuanheng has only released one physical album, and it was limited. The deluxe edition was limited to 10,000 copies, and it sold out in less than thirty seconds."
System 030 explained: "The official price was 499 yuan. Now second-hand prices have soared to nearly 1,000, let alone scalper prices."
"Impressive..."
Su Zhiyi gave Jiang Yuanheng a thumbs up in her mind. She truly admired his influence.
She couldn't help worrying about herself.
How badly would Jiang Yuanheng's toxic fans curse her?
[Su Zhiyi: Sure~]
Since Jiang Yuanheng offered to give it to her, as a "fan," it would be impolite to refuse. She certainly wouldn't be modest with him.
Small talk was over, and the relationship was closer. Now it was time to talk business.
[Su Zhiyi: You should know how we'll stir up the CP, right?]
[Su Zhiyi: Let's not be too intimate? I'm not afraid of being scolded, but I'm worried about you getting scolded.]
Actually, she was also scared of being attacked too harshly by Jiang Yuanheng's toxic fans.
Her mental resilience was like steel, so she could handle it. Her fans, though they followed her for her looks, were solidly loyal.
Her reputation was already a mix of black and red, so her fans had become increasingly fierce in battles, never holding back when clashing with haters.
She really liked her fans. It didn't matter if she got scolded, but if her fans were attacked too badly, she would feel sorry for them.
[Jiang Yuanheng: Mm, my agent told me.]
[Jiang Yuanheng: Are you worried about your fans, Sister Zhiyi?]
[Su Zhiyi: Yeah... a little.]
[Su Zhiyi: You know, I don't have as many fans as you do.]
[Jiang Yuanheng: You're overthinking, Sister Zhiyi.]
[Jiang Yuanheng: Don't worry. As the lead, I can still manage my fans ^_^]
[Jiang Yuanheng: Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Let's just interact as friends, okay? As for the rest, the company will handle the marketing.]
Jiang Yuanheng was on a path of strength; his good looks and prominent family were just bonuses.
As long as Su Zhiyi's interactions with him didn't interfere with his career, most fans wouldn't complain.
Su Zhiyi recalled what Xie Mengran had said, and the heavy stone on her heart loosened a bit. She temporarily felt at ease.
[Su Zhiyi: Okay~ Then I'm relieved!]
