Cai Xiang walked out of the coffee shop, clutching the side of his face that was burning with pain, his heart filled with fury.
As the ace agency in the entertainment circle, Star Entertainment has seen Cai Xiang being flattered and pursued wherever he goes over the years, and he has never suffered such a humiliation as he did today.
A trace of cold malice rose in Cai Xiang's eyes; he would definitely not let the two of them off.
Originally, he saw that Jiang Han indeed had some talent and wanted to sign him and promote his debut.
Who knew this kid was impervious to persuasion.
Since he was so unappreciative, he would not be polite either.
Cai Xiang took out his phone and made a call, and soon two black-clad bodyguards appeared in front of him.
"Mr. Cai."
"Follow Jiang Han closely after he leaves the coffee shop, especially the one in black by his side. I want to know her address."
"Yes, Mr. Cai."
The weather was too hot, and Cai Xiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and got into a car on the side of the road.
He came to the coffee shop today to meet with Mr. Xie from Radiant Entertainment for business.
Although Radiant Entertainment is not as established as Star Entertainment, its backing is significant. Miss Xie, Xie Shiyao, is the niece of Xie Beichun and is a leading socialite in Spring City.
She founded Radiant Entertainment with an iron hand and, with the networking resources of the Xie family, made a name for herself in the entertainment circle in a short time. All the current top-tier actresses on fire are under her wing.
In order for Star Entertainment to continue to develop, it must break into the social circle of Spring City, and this Mr. Xie is undoubtedly the best choice.
He managed to connect with Xie Shiyao through his contacts, and nothing could go wrong.
Cai Xiang glanced at his wristwatch; fifteen minutes had already passed since the appointed time.
Could it be that he had been stood up by Xie Shiyao?
Thinking about it, Cai Xiang dialed the number of Xie Shiyao's assistant.
"Mr. Cai, sorry, Mr. Xie has a last-minute issue and won't be able to meet you as scheduled."
The assistant hung up after speaking.
Cai Xiang looked at the phone that had been hung up, the veins on his temple faintly throbbing.
Stood up by Xie Shiyao openly, and he couldn't say anything about it.
Because she is Xie Beichun's niece.
In the current situation of Spring City, the Feng Group is waning, teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, while the Xie Group is growing stronger, so the future of Spring City will be ruled by the Xie family.
No matter how dissatisfied he is, he can only swallow it and find a way to curry favor with Xie Shiyao.
He remembered that in a few days it would be the birthday of the Xie family's old matriarch, and Xie Beichun is famously filial, preparing to throw a grand banquet for her.
Cai Xiang opened his contact list and began looking for people to inquire about the old matriarch's preferences.

Shen You'an noticed she was being followed as soon as she left the coffee shop.
She discreetly flagged down a taxi, first sending Jiang Han back to the rented apartment to pack up his things.
While in the car, she contacted Zhao Heng to prepare an apartment, planning to have Jiang Han move in by the afternoon.
Jiang Han didn't have many belongings, just a tote bag that carried all his clothes, with a guitar slung over his shoulder, and nothing else beyond that.
A sedan parked downstairs, its window half-lowered, and Zhao Heng waved excitedly.
"Boss."
Shen You'an nodded. After Jiang Han settled in the back seat, she opened the passenger door and got in.
"Boss, I've missed you so much... "
Before Zhao Heng could pounce over, Shen You'an used a finger to poke his forehead, pushing Zhao Heng's body back.
"Get lost."
Zhao Heng retracted his paws ruefully, "Boss, we haven't seen each other in three hundred fifty-two days, don't you miss me even a bit? I've been thinking about you every day... "
Shen You'an rubbed her temple in resignation, "Drive."
Shen You'an greatly regretted hiring such a peculiar employee in the first place, as the consequences had come back to bite her.
While driving, Zhao Heng muttered, "Boss, now that you're in Spring City, you should stay a while longer. Let me show you around."
Jiang Han's brows furrowed slightly. So, she wasn't from Spring City?
Shen You'an glanced at the rearview mirror, "Stop babbling and shake off the tail."
"Got it." With a shout, Zhao Heng changed gears and hit the gas, maneuvering the car skillfully through the traffic.
In the blink of an eye, the tail was thoroughly shaken off.
"Boss, what's the deal with these dogs?"
"Star Entertainment."
Shen You'an opened the Tianyancha app on her phone and searched for information on Star Entertainment.
Among the shareholder structure, she recognized the third-ranked shareholder's profile picture from the coffee shop earlier.
"Cai Xiang."
"Is this scumbag after Jiang Han?" Zhao Heng almost immediately guessed the reason.
"Why? Are you familiar with him?"
Zhao Heng slapped the steering wheel hard, "He's no good, using oppressive contracts and bullying artists under him. Not long ago, a rookie girl was driven to jump off a building, and Star Entertainment went to great lengths to cover it up."
Shen You'an frowned, "How's the person?"
Zhao Heng shook his head, "She's in a vegetative state."
The chance of her waking up is extremely slim. A vibrant life thus silenced at the hands of Star Entertainment.
Doing so much harm.
Shen You'an coldly asked, "Do you have evidence?"
Zhao Heng shivered slightly at Shen You'an's icy cold voice, then his eyes lit up as he eagerly said, "Boss, give me one day, and I'll definitely get the evidence ready."
Having lain low for so long, the boss was finally about to make a move.
"Mm, no rush. Which hospital is that girl in? I'd like to visit her when I have the chance."
The boss might look cold, but she has the softest heart.
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Jiang Han sat in the back seat, listening silently as the two of them chattered casually about overturning a deeply-rooted entertainment company in the industry, as if they were discussing what to have for dinner tonight.
He glanced down at his outstretched palm.
He didn't know why, but the shadow weighing down on his heart gradually dissipated after meeting her.
At this moment, he only felt a sense of ease, as if everything was heading in a positive direction.
Slowly, he curled his fingers, his eyes filled with unprecedented determination.
