Chapter 471: Mysterious Itinerary
Wang Jing continued observing Lu Jingqi at this time. He had very smooth and clear skin, and he was very tall and had a nice physique. He was undoubtedly a member of the Lu family. Moreover, it seemed as though Lu Jingqi looked pretty normal at this time and he was not as silly as the rumor made him out to be. Wang Jing had a premonition that Lu Jingqi would definitely be very well received when he finally made his debut.
“In this case, I would suggest that we arrange for Jingqi to undergo one month of training under our agency first. If the results are what we expect them to be, then I hope to send him to Japan for half a year to undergo further training. What do you think of my proposal, Yuning?” Wang Jing stated her opinion as she looked at Jiang Yuning.
“In this respect, you are the professional. I will follow your arrangements. I will also entrust you to give Jingqi all the professional training that he requires. I only hope that you can promise me that you will take care of him and make sure that he does not suffer any grievances at all. That way, the Lu family can leave him in your hands without any worries at all.”
“You can rest assured that I will definitely take good care of him.” Wang Jing nodded. Since she had already decided to collaborate with Jiang Yuning, then of course, she would make sure that Lu Jingqi did not receive any injustice. “If the Lu family is still worried, you can also personally appoint a personal assistant to look out for and take care of Jingqi.”
“The only reason why I am saying this is not because I think there is any distrust between us but simply because I do not want any unnecessary disputes.”
Jiang Yuning and Wang Jing reached a consensus about this matter. After all, they had to take into consideration what Third Uncle Lu might be feeling as a father.
“Since this is the case, then let’s sit down and discuss the terms of the contract. I think that it would be best if we put down all of our interests and concerns in writing.”
In fact, Jiang Yuning would not gain anything at all from this agreement. After all, she would have to bear all the cost and expenditures for any resources given to Lu Jingqi at the moment.
At this time, Wang Jing believed that Jiang Yuning would definitely try to fight for more advantages. However, unexpectedly, she did not request for anything else when both of them were seated in the office. Jiang Yuning had only requested for one additional requirement to be added into the contract—that was, simply to ensure that Lu Jingqi had to be paid the same performance fees as that of any ordinary artiste whenever he participated in any performances. All she wanted was to ensure that Lu Jingqi’s income would be protected.
Wang Jing was of course very happy to agree to her terms. “I can promise you that.”
The two of them signed the contract at the agency. After that, Jiang Yuning finally brought Lu Jingqi back to the Lu family mansion before handing the contract over to Third Uncle Lu.
Jiang Yuning quickly spoke to Third Uncle Lu after handing him the contract in order to assure him. She told him that it would not be a problem if he wanted to hire a very competent personal assistant who would stay by Lu Jingqi’s side to look after him and enure that he eats well and receives all of his treatments on time.
“Does this mean that Jingqi would have to live in the company’s dormitory?”
“This is what we planned for the duration of the training. If you miss him and want to see him, you could also ask the personal assistant to bring him home to visit you. However, in my opinion, it would be best if you do not do that. Wang Jing and I have already analyzed the possibility of Jingqi’s identity getting exposed. At the moment, all Jingqi has to do is to wear a face mask and he will not be easily recognizable.”
“We agreed that people would definitely discover his identity if Jingqi goes in and out of the agency and to the Lu family mansion so often. It would not be good for Jingqi’s recovery progress. I think that it would be better for him to keep a low profile right now. I can ask Wang Jing to allow you to visit Jingqi during his training whenever you miss him.”
Jiang Yuning patiently explained the situation to Third Uncle Lu.
Third Uncle Lu took a deep breath after listening to Jiang Yuning. There were thousands of worries and dismays in his heart.
However, he felt relieved because he could see that Jingqi was really making very good progress after receiving treatment. It felt as though Jingqi was finally getting his life back together and that there were infinite possibilities awaiting him now.
“Anyway, you have already handled this matter so beautifully and you are also the reason why Jingqi is finally recovering and getting better after so many years. It is all thanks to you, Yuning.” Third Uncle Lu thanked Jiang Yuning wholeheartedly. “Since you have already given me your assurance that everything will be fine, then I will let him go.”
“I have already signed a one month contract with Wang Jing and in the meantime, we will observe Jingqi’s recovery progress. If he recovers and gets much better, then she will arrange for Jingqi to attend training in Japan for half a year. Before that happens, I will look for an opportunity to reveal Jingqi to the public so that we can get rid of the misconception that the netizens and public have about him. When all that is done, we can then send him abroad for training without any worries, and at the same time, we will be able to maintain the mysteriousness of Jingqi’s identity. What do you think about my suggestion?”
Jiang Yuning could see that Third Uncle Lu was feeling very reluctant at this time. However, he also knew that his son was already turning seventeen this year. Therefore, Third Uncle Lu knew that Jingqi’s future would be very important to him once he recovers.
Furthermore, there was nothing that Lu Jingqi loved more than dancing.
“Okay then.”
Jiang Yuning was relieved as soon as she heard his reply. This was because she could tell that Third Uncle Lu’s reply was sincere and he had finally decided to let go.
“What about your own situation then? I have been watching the news...for the past two days...”
“Don’t worry about me. That matter will be resolved soon,” Jiang Yuning replied as she smiled.
Third Uncle Lu felt a little bad for Jiang Yuning at this time. He felt that this child was always thinking about other people instead of herself.
“I am really very happy that Jingzhi and Jingqi are lucky enough to have you by their sides.”
One was her husband and the other was her younger brother.
Jiang Yuning was happy to hear Third Uncle Lu’s sentence. However, since the contract had already been resolved, then Jiang Yuning also had to hurry back to resume filming immediately. Otherwise, more rumors would start spreading all over the Internet.
It was already five o’clock in the evening and it seemed as though Jiang Yuning could not stay back to see Second Young Master Lu before she left.
The paparazzi lost Jiang Yuning after she returned to Royal Dragon Villa because it seemed as though she did not step out of her house after going in. However, at eleven o’clock that night, the staff and production crew of <Yan Huasu> suddenly reported that Jiang Yuning had already returned to the filming set. What? When did she leave? How did she leave?
Therefore, Hou Da did not intend to change the first female lead at all. What was Jiang Yuning doing? What was the purpose of her day trip?
Her whereabouts were a mystery and her intentions were also a mystery.
The reporters and paparazzi were very flustered at this time. When would Jiang Yuning be coming up with a master plan to deal with her public relations issues? There was already a huge commotion and it was already a bloody storm out there. Didn’t Jiang Yuning leave the crew to deal with her public relations issues?
The entertainment sites could not help but come out to comment about the situation.
[Jiang Yuning, don’t you care about your own public relations anymore? You don’t care about your fans and supporters anymore? You don’t care about maintaining your popularity or keeping your resources anymore?]
[Jiang Yuning, don’t think that the rumor will pass just because you are hiding up in the mountain now. this time, you really have to give us an explanation! Even if you manage to hide during this episode, there will always be another episode of <Secret of the Nation>!]
[The production team is also pretending to be dead! Ahh! I am really so annoyed right now.]
[Jiang Yuning must really be stuck in a dead end right now. Trust me. There is no way that she is coming up with a good solution to get out of this situation this time.]
[Jiang Yuning must also be worried about her hairline now! After all, I believe that she would never have expected everyone to call out on her bluff in this manner. Hahaha. It seemed as though Jiang Yuning is about to lose everything that she worked hard for throughout the past year.]
Was Jiang Yuning feeling anxious at all?
Moreover, there was also a group of people who wanted to boycott <Secret of the Nation>. This was because they believed that it was really an insult for Jiang Yuning to be a regular guest on the variety program. They felt that the television station could not explain themselves or clarify the situation because they had a guilty conscience. Therefore, the netizens started initiating a round of voting on their online polls.
This was something entirely different.
They were trying to force the television station and the production team to own up to their mistake and make a public apology. They also wanted the production team to replace Jiang Yuning with another guest who would be more reputable instead. Jiang Yuning’s competitors were also trying to get Jiang Yuning kicked out from the variety program.
After all, who would want a popular artiste such as Jiang Yuning to continue making the headlines?
On the other hand, Ku Jie was secretly investigating the matter to find out the mastermind, but it seemed as though all of his efforts were in vain. This was simply because it seemed as though his sister had already made too many enemies and it was really difficult to find out which one of them was really the culprit.
Therefore, it seemed as though it was the perfect time to begin dealing with Jiang Yuning’s public relations...
