Transmigrated Into a Big Boss to Snatch Away the Cannon Fodder

Chapter 21

Don’t know why you guys keep fighting over their popularity status. Actually, don’t you think they match very well? I think if they were a CP, it’d be very interesting to watch. They really have the CP feel.] (CP = couple)

Lin Ji slightly furrowed his brows, puzzlement growing in his heart. Who sent this comment? He carefully compared this side account with the water army’s side accounts and was certain that he’s never seen this one before. If that’s the case, then why would this small side account send this kind of comment?

Did Xiao Ziqi plan to do something?

He was still pondering when his phone suddenly rang. The name indicated on the screen was actually his agent who hadn’t contacted him for a long time. Why’s the agent looking for him? Didn’t he pretty much let Lin Ji go already?

Lin Ji thought it was a bit peculiar.

“Manager, you need something?” Lin Ji was still mulling over what happened recently that would make the agent contact him.

The next second he heard the other say: “Lin Ji, Xiao Ziqi wanted me to let you know. Aren’t you two filming together on the same set? He said he’s willing to take part in a s*x scandal with you to increase both of your popularity.”

(Note: Idk if this is the best way to translate it. But when 2 actors pretend to be in a relationship or pretend to be ‘close’ to get on the news, is what he’s talking about.)

The agent sounded like he was giving charity to Lin Ji or something. When Lin Ji finished hearing what he said, he actually didn’t even feel angry. His heart died a long time ago. He even thought it was funny.

“You said he’s willing?” Lin Ji emphasized these words mockingly.

Sure Xiao Ziqi was willing, but did anyone ask him if he was willing? Xiao Ziqi had a s*x scandal every other day, of course it didn’t bother him.

What about himself?

He doesn’t know if his agent thought about this issue. However, he thinks his agent probably forgot the warnings he repeatedly instructed Lin Ji long ago. The agent warned him earnestly plenty of times before, the most taboo thing for a male actor was to be involved in a s*x scandal with another male actor.

On this side of the phone, Lin Ji smiled coldly.

Looks like the agent forgot about this a long time ago. Now, he actually voluntarily wanted Lin Ji to create s*x scandal news with Xiao Ziqi, even going so far to glorify it as ‘increasing your popularity.’

Who’s popularity this would increase, wasn’t he aware of the answer in his heart?

Seeing Lin Ji didn’t reply for a long time, the agent unhappily urged him to answer: “What’s the matter? You have to think about it this long? This is good for you and for him. What else do you need to consider?”

To be honest, if Xiao Ziqi didn’t specifically want him to ask Lin Ji beforehand, he wouldn’t even have considered Lin Ji’s thoughts at all. This was clearly a win-win situation. Lin Ji was working under him, so he should listen regardless.

Lin Ji slowly opened his mouth: “I’m done thinking about it.

The agent immediately said: “Good good. We already came up with a plan. In a while, you’ll receive a file on your computer. Later I’ll indicate what you should do. Also when you’re on the film set normally, the two of you should spend some more time together, get a little closer, practice your dialogues together and help him with his acting. That way, when it’s time, there will be some content.”

He talked as if this was the natural course of action, but never thought Lin Ji’s reply would be a slap right across his face.

“Sorry manager. What I meant was I’m done thinking and I’m not willing. He can have s*x scandals with whoever he want, but it definitely won’t be with me.”
