Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhao Nan had initially thought that the process of resigning and handing over her responsibilities would take at least two days. To her surprise, the relatively unknown but quite temperamental little artist had promptly arranged for her resignation procedures as soon as she mentioned it. Not a minute was wasted, and she was asked to come to the company on the same day to pack her belongings and leave.

Zhao Nan considered that a good thing. With her things neatly packed, she could start her new job at Xu Zhi’s studio the next day.

Xu Zhi’s personal studio had just been established and was short-staffed, so no matter what needed to be done, Xu Zhi personally took care of it. When Zhao Nan arrived, she saw him cleaning the office himself.

Upon seeing Xu Zhi, Zhao Nan immediately put down her belongings and grabbed a broom to help. However, Xu Zhi stopped her, saying, “Don’t bother.

This place is dusty, but you should take a break first. I can handle the cleaning.”

Zhao Nan jokingly replied, “You’re the boss, and I’m the employee. When did it become the norm for employees to rest while the boss works?”

Xu Zhi smiled, revealing his trademark smile with his eight dazzling white teeth. He said, “I didn’t ask you to come here to be a laborer. Since you’re reporting for your first day, help me organize some recent contracts. The files are piled up in the office. The contracts that should be suitable for me have likely been pre-selected by my agent, Wang Da. Put them on top, and then call to cancel the rest of the contracts.

Wang Da was Xu Zhi’s agent. Although he wasn’t as famous in the agent circle as Sun Hu and Zhang Chao, his status had risen significantly because he discovered Xu Zhi. Their relationship was more like mutual assistance, and they had helped each other grow.

Even after Xu Zhi became famous, they hadn’t abandoned each other. They had become the best partners and had even founded their personal studio together, breaking away from the company. They took care of all their contracts, negotiating with investors and production teams.

Although leaving the company was tiring, it gave them the power of choice.

They no longer had to accept contracts forced upon them by the company, which was a good thing for Xu Zhi, who had always valued his freedom.

Zhao Nan obediently went to handle the contracts. While working, she came across a script titled, Love’s Unleashed. She scanned the script and realized that it was the web series that became the trending topic. In addition, the male lead was the trending MO Shu and Xia Xin was the female lead. It seemed that they were looking for Xu Zhi to play the male supporting role.

Aside from her personal bias because Xia Xin was cast as the female lead, Zhao Nan carefully evaluated the script and the cast. She believed that this could be beneficial for Xu Zhi’s career. Playing the male supporting role in this series, especially with Xia Xin as the female lead, would undoubtedly boost Xu Zhi’s popularity.

So, Zhao Nan took the script and went to ask Wang Da whether he would be willing to accept this contract.

However, as soon as Wang Da saw the cover page of the script, his expression changed dramatically. He seemed to be on the verge of losing his temper, but Xu Zhi stopped him.

Xu Zhi explained to Zhao Nan, “You might not know, but I don’t take any projects related to Stellar Entertainment.” 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍．𝒄𝙤𝙢

Zhao Nan was puzzled. As a loyal fan of Xu Zhi since his debut, she tried to recall all the events and activities he had participated in over the years. She thought, ‘It seemed that he had never collaborated with Stellar Entertainment. But how had I, as a fan, never known the specific reasons behind that decision?’

Curiosity got the better of Zhao Nan, and she couldn’t help asking, “Why?”

Wang Da, who was initially impatient, realized that his attitude had been somewhat excessive, and he eased up a bit. “Just know that we don’t cooperate, that’s all. Why ask so many questions?”

Zhao Nan didn’t press further and returned to her work. After taking two steps, she turned back and said, “May I ask if you have any other taboos? You can tell me all of them at once. I’ll remember them so that I won’t make any mistakes in the future.’

Wang Da saw that Zhao Nan’s attitude was so positive and realized that his attitude just now was a little too much. His expression softened slightly, and his tone became much better. He said, “You can come and ask me again if you are not sure of anything.”

Although Zhao Nan continued with her work, her curiosity about the reasons behind the unified stance of Xu Zhi and Wang Da grew stronger. There must be significant conflicts between them and Stellar Entertainment.

Zhao Nan remembered that when Xu Zhi first debuted, he became famous due to a drama but was only nominated and did not win at an award ceremony. Furthermore, he had faced verbal attacks from the host during the event..
