Married to the villain

Chapter 29: Warning

******

Lisa winked in front of the mirror playfully, then pirouetted lightly to make sure that her clothes and hair wouldn't affect her dancing. She finally nodded in satisfaction.

Lia looked at Lisa's lively appearance and recalled the time when Lisa had just entered the safe zone. Her feelings became complicated.

At that time, Lisa had been like an ignorant little deer. She plunged into the big dye vat of the entertainment industry and was pushed to the front of the stage as a tool. Accompanied by applause and criticism, she walked alone.

She still remembered that on the night of the talent show, Lisa met the cruel, harsh side of reality. When she finally got hold of her phone, she saw a string of curses from the internet. She secretly hid in the toilet and cried for a long time. She sadly asked her manager if she was truly suitable for the entertainment industry.

At that time, Lisa was at the peak of her popularity and the company had already decided to make her one of their money trees. They were just about to reap the profits and of course, they would not allow her to have any problems and retreat. So, Lia had to comfort her and tell her that this was a process that every artiste had to go through and that it was normal.

Lisa didn't seem to be convinced, but she still pulled herself together. Then she went to film according to the company's arrangements and had no time to think about these problems.

As time passed, the light in Lisa's eyes grew dimmer and dimmer, and she became more and more cynical. She began to ignore the negative comments on the internet. She became more and more mechanical in her acting work, and her temper went through the roof.

As Lisa's manager, Lia was anxious, but she knew one thing very well. An idol like Lisa was an assembly line product, and her best moments ended during the night of the talent show.

Therefore, after they had been used up, they would be eliminated, and then look on as the next generation of assembly line products rise and easily replace them. This was the fate of most of the candidates.

Therefore, after Lia learned of the company's policy, she watched Lisa change with cold eyes and began to pick her next training partner in her heart.

The staff came to remind them to get into position backstage. Nancy, who had finished her makeup, went out first without any expression on her face. Lisa watched as Lia stood up from the sofa. She knew that Lia would talk to the director in a while and ask him to focus on Nancy during the live broadcast.

When Lisa walked past her, she paused and asked in a low voice, "You want to sign Nancy, right?"

Lia was shocked. She didn't know why she would ask this. She avoided Lisa's gaze and said, "Nancy has her own manager. Why would I be in charge of her?"

Lisa flicked her hair and looked at her with a faint smile. "I heard that Madam Zhao is going to resign. She wishes to take care of her baby. She won't be taking in any new stars."

Madam Zhao was Nancy's current manager, Zhao Soyeon. She had not yet submitted her official notice, but the higher-ups in the company were more or less aware of it.

Hence, Lia's attention had long fallen on Nancy. As a newcomer, Nancy was indeed rather capable. Moreover, Nancy had a close relationship with the company's new CEO, Mingyu.

With this relationship, Nancy would easily be a top star. So if Lia could tag along, she would be able to reap the benefits with little effort.

After Lia received the news, she went to organize some activities and received the support of two of the higher-ups. This was also the reason why she was so cooperative with the company. This was why she was willing to drag Lisa down to be Nancy's foil.

However, Lisa was a veteran in the industry, and a veteran novel-reader. Lia looked at her in shock.

Lisa smiled mysteriously. "Not only do I know that she's going to change her manager, I also know who her new manager is."

"Impossible!" Lia denied it. The company had yet to decide where Soyeon's artists would go.

Lisa softly uttered a name, "Meng Yeji."

Lia's eyes widened. Yeji was the head of their company's Artist Department and the top manager in the company. She had brought up several major stars. She was the company's biggest contributor, and one of their shareholders.

"It's been a long time since she's managed an artiste." Lia didn't believe her. "Besides, Nancy's a newbie."

Lisa's lips curved into a slightly sardonic smile. "Nancy is the person Mingyu admires. She is also the daughter of Yeji's good friend."

Lia was shocked. If that was the case, Yeji might truly step up.

With Mingyu and Yeji backing her up, Nancy would never fall into the hands of others. Then why had she put in so much effort helping them?
