Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Chapter 219 - No Rest For The Wicked (1)

Although it's true that Su Xiaofei had come here with vested interest, Qin Muyao didn't care about it anymore. As long as she was capable of helping him clear up his name and reputation in public, he was willing to serve twenty years of servitude to repay this debt.

He didn't care if she had come here to take advantage of his weaknesses anymore, because truth to be told, Qin Muyao was willing to grab any chance he could get to save his dying career and clear his name.

"Xiao Yao!" His mother exclaimed, confusion apparent on her expression.

Miss Huo had been a witness to how her son had suffered from the controversy. Qin Muyao didn't want to face his father and his younger siblings because of this, but he was left with no choice but to accept this young woman's proposition.

Everyone had already abandoned him, but now this unknown talent manager had suddenly shown up, willing to prove his innocence. It was understandable that Qin Muyao was willing to take the risk in order to survive.

"No matter what your intentions are, I wish we could collaborate well in the future. Thank you for believing me." Qin Muyao told Su Xiaofei.

"Then please study and discuss the contract with your mother, Mr. Qin. I'll give you three days to make a decision and to sign it. Any more would only delay our preparations this following weekend, so I suggest for Mr. Qin not to waste any more time and energy. You aren't allowed to make a statement unless I tell you to do so." Su Xiaofei made a motion to stand up from her seat to leave.

"That's all? We just leave everything to you after Xiao Yao signs this contract?" Miss Huo hurriedly asked Su Xiaofei.

"Miss Huo, do you know why your son lost so many of his brand endorsements?" The young woman asked in return.

Miss Huo shook her head. She surmised that it was because of the scandal. Would there be another reason aside from that?

"It's because your son and his agency remained silent at that critical time when the scandal erupted over the news. These brands weren't unreasonable companies, but they expected professionalism from Qin Muyao and his agency. However, since they weren't able to get in touch with them, leaving them at a loss, they had no other choice but to pull out the advertisements featuring Qin Muyao in order to avoid getting the backlash from the public."

The damage on Qin Muyao's career could have been lessened if his agency had done their part to protect their talent. However, since Jiang Li's family was not only rich, but also influential, it was understandable that the top management didn't want to offend her family by defending Qin Muyao.

"Timing is a vital factor of damage control. There's still a chance for us to regain those endorsements, but you have to cooperate with us and listen to me."

"Mom, it's alright." Qin Muyao held his mother's hand and smiled bitterly. "Let's leave it to Manager Su."

"I hope that you've learned your lessons now, Mr. Qin. In the future, you have to be careful not to get blinded by love. There's a reason why our brain is higher than our heart. My assistant will give you a contact number. Call us when you decide to sign the contract," was Su Xiaofei's parting words before leaving Qin Muyao's unit with her bodyguards.

Nighttime came and Su Xiaofei arrived just in time to see her mother waiting for her return.

Yun Qingrong immediately stood up and looked at her daughter. When Su Xiaofei came to her, informing her of her intention to help Qin Muyao by recruiting for Bluemedia, Yun Qingrong wasn't sure what her young daughter was thinking.

She didn't think that her Feifei personally knew Qin Muyao and wondered why she was eager to help the young actor. Who hadn't heard about the explosive scandal about him and Jiang Li? He was like a time bomb waiting to detonate at any moment.

No one was willing to take a risk to save his career now and Su Xiaofei was taking a gamble by saving him.

"Mama." Su Xiaofei greeted her mother.

"How did it go?" Yun Qingrong replied, allowing her daughter to take a seat next to her. "Did Qin Muyao agree?"

"Yes he did. But as we agreed, I gave him three days to think about it, Mama. We will continue our plan while we wait." Su Xiaofei replied, giving her mother a reassuring smile.

"Feifei, are you sure about this? You don't need to rush and take in talents for now. It's enough that you study how the company works."

Yun Qingrong didn't want anyone to demean her daughter by helping Qin Muyao, but what Su Xiaofei told her earlier had made sense to her. It would be a pity if a talented young actor like Qin Muyai would be canceled for good.

Still, the controversy like this wasn't easy to resolve, even for more experienced PR managers than her daughter. The fall of a once bright star like Qin Muyao was really a pitiful one.

"Mama, if I don't start this early and only rely on you and Uncle Fang's help, how would I grow? And I believe that Mr. Qin is the victim this time." Su Xiaofei said with confidence.

Zhang Lan was making some phone calls and investigations for her while recovering. It had been hard for Su Xiaofei to ask her bodyguard to stay at home and rest, because the Zhang siblings were too dedicated with their work and had nothing else to do aside from it.

Zhang Lan had been happy to be assigned to a menial job that won't put too much stress on her injury.

"Leave this to me, Mama. I will fix this without revealing my identity in public." Su Xiaofei was aware why her mother was worried about her.. Yun Qingrong feared that her name would be sullied even before she could join Bluemedia by helping Qin Muyao.
