Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 978 - 967: Best Actor

"Let me go, Ye Qiu, what do you want to do? Do you know this is illegal?" Ji Guang struggled violently, his eyes filled with fear.

"Do what?" Ye Qiu looked at him with a cold smile, "Wasn’t it Brother Ji who first wanted to do something to me?"

"I was wrong, alright? Just let me go, and we can discuss everything." Ji Guang pleaded, not expecting someone so well-behaved on the surface to have such means. With just hypnosis, everything had been revealed, and it was even recorded.

Although he knew that recordings obtained through hypnosis couldn’t be used as evidence in court, he was part of the entertainment industry. If the video and audio were spread online, would he still have a place there?

Ji Guang had offended many people. He couldn’t imagine how those people might kick him while he’s down. He was used to living a glamorous, high-flying life. He didn’t want to live a life of hiding and being hunted down by everyone.

At this moment, besides secretly hating himself for coveting Ye Qiu’s body and looks, he especially hated Zhu Li. If it weren’t for her boasting about Ye Qiu’s capabilities in front of him, if it weren’t for her stirring things up before the general manager, would he have attracted such a disaster like Ye Qiu?

But now it’s too late for regrets. He was already in Ye Qiu’s hands.

"Discuss? When Brother Ji forced those artists, when they wanted to discuss nicely with you, why did you force them so harshly?" Ye Qiu looked at him with disdain, "After doing so many guilty things, aren’t you afraid of sleepless nights?"

"That was all orders from above. I’m just a small agent." Ji Guang smiled obsequiously, "How about this, I have some connections in the circle. If you let me go, I’ll definitely plan well for you in the future, and I won’t let those dirty things touch you. How about I make you a top traffic star? Let’s just pretend that today’s incident never happened."

"Do you think that without you, I have no future?" Ye Qiu sneered, "Ji Guang, you’re underestimating me and overvaluing fame and fortune. To be honest, even if I don’t expose your deeds, I’m afraid someone else might one day. By then, you being my manager, how would people see me?"

Ji Guang awkwardly laughed at his words, trying to negotiate: "Then how about this, I’ll still provide you with my resources, but tomorrow I’ll talk to President Chen about assigning another manager for you. How about that?"

"No need. I don’t need a manager."

Upon hearing the rejection, Ji Guang became even more anxious, thinking of other ways to persuade Ye Qiu.

"I also don’t want to extort you for anything. No matter how you do it, convince President Chen not to assign me another manager, and you need to apologize to every artist you’ve wronged. Compensate them if necessary, and earn their forgiveness."

Ji Guang’s face darkened, gritting his teeth, "You’re dreaming. Besides, how would they ever forgive me?"

"That’s your problem." Ye Qiu said nonchalantly, "Unless you don’t want to be in the entertainment circle anymore."

"You..." Ji Guang was furious, "But even if I personally apologize, those people won’t forgive me."

"You should have thought of that earlier."

"Aren’t you afraid that I’ll fight back with all I’ve got? Your recording isn’t admissible in court, and the law can’t do anything to me. If I manage the water army well, I’m not in the spotlight, and the internet forgets quickly. Who can touch me? Ye Qiu, don’t push your luck."

Ye Qiu sighed inwardly. It seemed Ji Guang was quite formidable after all these years, quickly realizing the situation.

Indeed, he had no solid evidence now, and Ji Guang was just a behind-the-scenes agent. If he kept a low profile in the future, there was nothing that could be done. Ye Qiu originally wanted to let him face his karma early, but it was all in vain.

It seemed his Soul Power Technique was not deep enough yet, unable to intimidate someone with slightly deeper thoughts.

However, he would eventually expose Ji Guang’s deeds and let him face due punishment. For now, he needed to achieve his current goals. His future must not be entangled with someone as filthy as Ji Guang, nor could he let Li Ge misunderstand in the future.

"Alright then." Ye Qiu feigned understanding, "I won’t force you to admit your mistakes, but tomorrow you should go to President Chen and say you can no longer be my manager, and don’t assign another one either."

Ji Guang gritted his teeth, "I’m just a small agent, you’re now valued by those above. Why would President Chen listen to my advice?"

"If I were truly valued, would they assign you as my manager? Isn’t it just to quickly cash in on my current popularity? If you don’t want to do it, that’s fine, but if you don’t want me to expose everything, help me terminate my contract with the company." Ye Qiu took a step back.

But even this step back put Ji Guang in a difficult position. He had some power in the company, but not enough to let a money-making artist go for no reason.

Ye Qiu noticed his hesitation and chuckled, "Brother Ji, don’t tell me you can’t do it. Even if I’m popular, I’m just a third-tier artist, nothing to the company. Brother Ji is a veteran and trusted by the higher-ups. If you can’t handle this, how are you worried about me exposing your deeds?"

Seeing that he couldn’t intimidate Ye Qiu, Ji Guang’s expression hardened for a moment. He had indeed misjudged this time, not expecting to be butted by a bull’s horns.

"Then I’ll just have to try it."

Hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled, seemingly unconcerned about the possibility of failure, "Then I’ll be waiting for your good news, Brother Ji."

As he untied Ji Guang, he said, "I’ve heard about a few things with Sister Li’s connections. You might not know, but Sister Li wanted to sign me before, though I refused. Later, she and my former teammate kept slandering me, and now she recommended me to you."

Seeing Ji Guang’s displeased face, he continued, "Brother Ji, don’t say I’m stirring up trouble. That’s just my thinking, but isn’t that what Sister Li did? To be blunt, until today, you and I had no grudges. If it weren’t for Sister Li and Qiao Wenxi’s bad ideas, why would I deal with you now?"

Ji Guang knew that Ye Qiu was trying to make him fight with Zhu Li, aware of the scheme, yet he couldn’t help but blame Zhu Li.

Ye Qiu wasn’t wrong. If not for Zhu Li’s meddling, how would he have gotten involved with Ye Qiu? Or ended up in this predicament?

If he couldn’t have it easy, Zhu Li shouldn’t have it easy either! He thought angrily.
