I Want To Retire From the Circle but Become Famous by Acting Poorly

Su Chengyang has thick skin. Although she feels a little sorry for General Manager Lin, she still looks like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

Liu Wen, on the other hand, can’t handle it. When General Manager Lin looked at her with questioning eyes, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

It was her dereliction of duty that the artist’s figure management in her hands had failed so badly. However, she didn’t expect Su Chengyang to be such a big eater and so prone to gaining weight, which made her feel ashamed of herself.

Fortunately, General Manager Lin didn’t intend to make things difficult for them. After glancing at Su Chengyang, he withdrew his gaze and said to the two of them, “Please wait a moment. The manager will come and talk to you about the contract.”

“Okay, thank you General Manager Lin.”

“You’re welcome.”

Later, General Manager Lin continued to look at the data in his hands, which had a large bolded title reading 《Miss Su’s Figure Management Plan》.

He looked at it for a few seconds, then suddenly threw the data into the shredder. He then opened his computer and created a new document titled 《Miss Su’s Figure Management Plan 1.0》 with the remark “Prone to Weight Gain”.

Soon after, the manager brought the two of them to a separate office and talked to them about the contract. The main point was that Su Chengyang would transfer from her previous company to Starlight Entertainment and the contract term would still be only one year.

Su Chengyang was very satisfied with this. Even if she signed with another company, she could still lie flat and start her own carefree life after a year.

After the contract was finalized, Su Chengyang and Liu Wen confirmed everything and pressed their handprints on the contract. From today on, Su Chengyang became a contracted artist of Starlight Entertainment.

As soon as they walked out of the office, Su Chengyang saw Yang Xiuyi, who was furious, walking towards her under the obstruction of security.

Yang Xiuyi was already a popular star in the entertainment industry. Although he didn’t have any specific representative works, he was definitely good-looking. But in Su Chengyang’s opinion, he was not even close to General Manager Lin.

“Su Chengyang!” Yang Xiu pointed at Su Chengyang in anger.

Liu Wen stepped forward half a step and stood behind Su Chengyang, frowning and asking, “This is the company. What do you want?”

Su Chengyang was not used to being protected behind someone. She pulled Liu Wen back and calmly looked at Yang Xiuyi, asking, “Mr. Yang, is there something you want to talk to me about? I don’t seem to know you.”

The exposure of their relationship had a huge impact on Yang Xiuyi. He was already overwhelmed, and the fact that the company had signed Su Chengyang made him even more upset.

Using Su Chengyang to make her take the blame was a risky move, and he knew that if it was exposed, the consequences would be dire. He had already caused a scene in front of Lin Yu once and almost got fired. Given his current situation, he couldn’t afford to cause trouble in front of Lin Yu again, so he decided to confront Su Chengyang instead.

In his impression, Su Chengyang had always been someone who went along with things without complaint. He thought that after the fan attack, she would accept his conditions and not make a big deal out of it. However, he never expected that not only did Su Chengyang refuse his conditions, she also had the audacity to sign with the same company as him!

He looked at Su Chengyang with increasing disgust, as if he wanted to tear her apart.

Su Chengyang had never encountered anything like this before. Yang Xiuyi’s gaze made her feel scared from the bottom of her heart, but also very ridiculous. It was obvious that ‘Su Chengyang’ was innocent, but they made ‘Su Chengyang’ take the blame twice. Now, they acted as if Su Chengyang had done something wrong to them.

“How much money do you want? Name your price and I’ll give it to you. Anyway, you won’t get any resources after signing with the company. Name your price, take the money, and get out of my sight immediately,” he said.

Hearing this, Liu Wen furrowed her brows tightly, and even the manager of Starlight Entertainment looked at him disapprovingly and reprimanded him, “Yang Xiuyi, this is the company. Be restrained and don’t go too far.”

“Am I going too far? Is it my fault that I’m not getting along with Su Chengyang, and yet the company still signed her? Who is really going too far here?” Yang Xiuyi retorted.

“You…”

Su Chengyang couldn’t recall ever having a conflict or argument with anyone before, but facing Yang Xiuyi’s behavior, she felt an overwhelming sense of anger.

Because he didn’t want his relationship to be exposed and didn’t want his girlfriend to be affected, he casually let an innocent girl take on everything, even if doing so would ruin the girl’s career and life. And yet he had the audacity to say he would compensate her with money?

Su Chengyang took a deep breath and raised her voice. It was the first time she had ever argued with someone, and her voice trembled noticeably as she spoke each word carefully: “How much do you think a girl’s life is worth? Can you measure the harm caused to others with money?”

If this happened to Su Chengyang herself, she might have accepted Yang Xiuyi’s compensation and retired from the industry, but that’s because she doesn’t care, and other people’s opinions don’t matter to her. But this happened to ‘Su Chengyang’, she occupied the identity of ‘Su Chengyang’ and enjoyed the results of her hard work. She is not qualified to measure the damage this has done to ‘Su Chengyang’ in terms of money, so she will not accept it, nor will she be intimidated.

“Have you ever thought about what I’m going to do after this? Can I still live a normal life? Those accusations will follow me for the rest of my life! Who are you to think that enough money can make me not care about these things? I’ve only been in the entertainment industry for a year, and I’ve only acted in one drama. You’ve ruined my life. Do you think this is a problem that can be solved with money? Maybe money can solve your problem, but it can’t solve mine,” Su Chengyang said forcefully, even trembling with anger.

Liu Wen and the manager looked very complicated. They had been in the entertainment industry for so many years and had seen many such incidents, to the point where they didn’t take them too seriously. But when Su Chengyang bravely spoke out, they realized that what they had thought was commonplace might have already ruined someone’s life.
