Chapter 1079 - 1078:

Cherry Entertainment Company.

On this day, Wei Jiansheng received Liu Jinwei and his daughter Liu Yina in his office. Liu Jinwei personally brought his daughter to discuss signing with Cherry Entertainment.

Liu Jinwei was going all out for his daughter. He had previously spent a lot of money to promote her debut, but Liu Yina hadn’t gained popularity and hardly had any fans. It worried Liu Jinwei terribly, as he loved his daughter dearly and only wanted her to become famous. Thus, he thought of Cherry Entertainment.

Being one of the top three giants in the entertainment industry, Cherry Entertainment should be able to make his daughter famous!

So Liu Jinwei approached Wei Jiansheng, hoping he would sign Liu Yina and make her a star.

Wei Jiansheng agreed readily. How could he refuse someone like Master Wei, a prominent figure in Hang City and a boss in Jiangnan’s underworld?

However, this favor didn’t come for free. Wei Jiansheng didn’t let Liu Jinwei sit idle. Previously, under Wei’s instruction, Liu Jinwei forcibly brought Ning Xiaoyue to Hang City, causing Lin Fan to personally come to Hang City to rescue Ning Xiaoyue after much effort.

Although Lin Fan ultimately turned the tables, it indeed created trouble for him—that’s the power of Master Wei.

The agreement still stood. Today, Liu Jinwei brought Liu Yina to discuss the contract. Both sides were pleased with the meeting.

"Brother Wei, if there’s no issue, let’s finalize this. I’ll draft the contract, and we can sign it another day," Wei Jiansheng laughed.

Liu Jinwei was delighted, "Great, I’ll wait for the news at home. Yina, hurry and thank your Uncle Wei."

Liu Yina said, "Thank you, Uncle Wei."

Wei Jiansheng laughed, "No need to be polite. I’ll help you become a big star. If you become famous, don’t forget your Uncle Wei, hahaha..."

Liu Yina quickly said, "How could I?"

Liu Jinwei stood up and said, "We’ll be leaving now."

The two were about to leave.

Wei Jiansheng said, "Hold on, Brother Wei. There’s one more thing I’d like to discuss with you."

Liu Jinwei turned back to Liu Yina and said, "You wait for me outside first."

He sent Liu Yina away and asked, "Is it about Hua Yiwu?"

Wei Jiansheng said, "Exactly. I can’t shake the disbelief that our prestigious Cherry Entertainment could be beaten by a mere woman. With our strong PR and legal teams, how could we be defeated by a little nobody? The more I think about it, the more it feels off. Is there someone powerful guiding her from behind? I have my suspicions!"

Liu Jinwei, being astute, said, "Don’t worry, I’ll look into it. If someone truly supports that nobody, I’ll find out who it is."

Wei Jiansheng smiled, "I rely on you then. As for Yina, rest assured, I’ll do my utmost to make her famous. With Cherry Entertainment’s strength, it’s hard for her not to become a star."

Liu Jinwei laughed heartily, "Then I’m at ease."

Liu Jinwei then took his leave.

Outside the company, the father and daughter got into the car. Liu Jinwei noticed Liu Yina seemed a bit subdued. She didn’t appear as happy as she should, given how signing with Cherry Entertainment was something to be thrilled about.

"What’s wrong, sweetheart? Is something on your mind?" Liu Jinwei asked.

Liu Yina hesitated and said, "Dad, there’s something I’m not sure I should say."

Liu Jinwei said, "Go ahead."

Liu Yina said, "I’m not sure if I want to sign with Cherry Entertainment."

Liu Jinwei was taken aback, "What? You don’t want to sign with Cherry Entertainment? Why? Didn’t you want to be famous? Cherry Entertainment can make you famous. They’re the most powerful company in the entertainment world!"

Liu Yina said, "I know, but I just have a feeling... I don’t know how to express it."

Liu Jinwei said, "Are you talking about the Hua Yiwu incident? Cherry Entertainment has been unsettled lately due to it, but that scandal wasn’t the company’s fault. Hua Yiwu just ruined himself! Plus, it’s already over."

Liu Yina said, "Is it really over?"

Liu Jinwei said, "The police have already reported that Hua Yiwu and that person surnamed Zhu had relations while intoxicated. It’s deemed a case of drunken misconduct. Although Hua Yiwu lost all endorsements, he didn’t break any laws. He’ll be back after some time."

Liu Yina said, "Oh."

Liu Jinwei said, "Sweetheart, don’t you like Hua Yiwu anymore? Weren’t you his fan, always calling him Yi Dance brother? Isn’t it exciting to be in the same company as him?"

Liu Yina said, "That was before, I don’t like him anymore. I’ve unfollowed him."

After the police report came out, Liu Yina unfollowed him. She had been closely following the incident and couldn’t accept that Yi Dance brother was like that.

Her affection for Hua Yiwu vanished instantly. The thought of being in the same company with him disgusted her a bit.

Liu Jinwei said, "Are you worried he’d harass you because you’ll be in the same company? There’s no need for such a concern. You’re my daughter, Liu Jinwei’s daughter; that boy wouldn’t dare mess with you even if he had ten times the guts."

Liu Yina blushed, "That’s not what I meant. It’s not just because of Cherry Entertainment’s recent controversies; there are other reasons... Never mind, I won’t say it."

In her mind appeared a silhouette.

Lin Fan.

She recalled what Lin Fan had told her. In fact, Lin Fan’s words had been resonating in her mind for days.

Lin Fan had told her it’d be difficult for someone with her looks to become famous. She wasn’t suited for the path of a trendy star. While Ning Xiaoyue lacked talent, she had a pretty face. Yina had neither talent nor a pretty face, and she was a Rich Second Generation. Even with Cherry Entertainment’s power, it’s not so easy to make someone a star. In fact, Cherry Entertainment also had many artists who weren’t popular.

She always remembered what Lin Fan said—that in the entertainment world, it ultimately boils down to talent.

Of course, she wouldn’t tell Liu Jinwei these things. She knew her father had issues with Lin Fan. If she said Lin Fan told her those things, Liu Jinwei would definitely take it out on Lin Fan and might find trouble with him.

Liu Jinwei comforted, "Don’t worry, a large company like Cherry Entertainment won’t fall apart over a little scandal. If you’re worried it won’t make you famous, rest easy. They’re the top company in the entertainment industry."

"..." Liu Yina didn’t know what to say.

"Dad, what did Uncle Wei talk to you about just now? Is it about me?" Liu Yina asked.

Liu Jinwei said, "No, it’s not about you."

Liu Yina said, "Then what is it?"

Liu Jinwei said, "It’s about Hua Yiwu. He suspects there’s someone behind that person surnamed Zhu. I’ll help him investigate."

Liu Yina responded with an "Oh" at the mention of someone behind them.

For some reason, the first person Liu Yina thought of was...
