Chapter 502 - No Need for Mentally Retarded Dancers
Chapter 502: No Need for Mentally Retarded Dancers
After the end of the practice for the day, Wang Jing sent Jiang Yuning away and at this time, the parking lot at the agency was surrounded with many of Jiang Yuning fans. They were holding their cell phones in their hands waiting for her to leave work.
“Empress Jiang...”
“Our fairy...look here...”
Jiang Yuning waved at the Ginger Candies before she put on her black baseball cap. As she was about to leave the parking lot, Wang Jing suddenly reached out her hand to stop her from leaving. “I still have a bad feeling about the incident earlier.”
“Huh?” Jiang Yuning asked with a puzzled expression on her face as she turned around to look at Wang Jing.
“I thought about it all day, and somehow, I feel that things are not as simple as it seems. Have you made any long-term plans about how we should deal with Jingqi? Moreover, do you you really believe that they will not reveal this matter to the public just because they signed a non-disclosure agreement? Will they really be so honest?”
“Why are you telling me this?” Jiang Yuning raised the brim of her cap before she looked up at Wang Jing.
“Because you are a master at handling public relations.”
In fact, this was already a well-known fact in the entertainment circle. Jiang Yuning’s power as an artiste was far less terrifying than her reputation in dealing and handling any public relations matters. Wang Jing also felt that if Jiang Yuning did not have a career as an actress, then there would definitely be many big-name companies in the industry who would want to hire Jiang Yuning as a public relations manager.
Moreover, Wang Jing initially assumed that Jiang Yuning would probably stop Lu Jingqi from appearing to make his debut tomorrow. After all, he was just a dancer and if he really wanted to leave a huge impact during his debut, he had to be extremely outstanding. However, Jiang Tuning thought otherwise.
“You think too highly of me.” Jiang Yuning chuckled softly, “However, Sister Jing, if you really feel that this matter is not as simple as it looks, then let’s go in and talk about this.”
Then, the Ginger Candies saw Jiang Yuning and Wang Jing returning to the agency.
So, Empress Jiang was not leaving?
Therefore, the Ginger Candies continued waiting for her because they felt that it was her good fortune if they could see her twice in a day!
When Jiang Yuning finally came out of Wang Jing’s office again, it was already ten o’clock in the evening. This time Jiang Yuning simply waved at the Ginger Candies before she got into Vera’s car immediately.
Wang Jing watched as Jiang Yuning’s car left the car park but her heart was still very heavy at this time.
In fact, Jiang Yuning had already planned out everything for the boy group and Lu Jingqi, including where Xiyuan would go in future.
...
The next day.
It was already the night of the concert, but the news about Lu Jingqi training under the agency had already spread like wildfire. Furthermore, the news was not simply a rumor that he was undergoing training under the agency but someone also shared pictures of him and the other backup dancers on the internet.
In just one morning, the rumor about Lu Jingqi was blown up by the media.
Besides that, someone also made a comparison of the picture of Lu Jingqi with the video of him that was previously leaked on the internet. Even though the person in both the pictures and the video were the same, he was in a completely different state of mind.
The rumors on the internet started getting more and more ridiculous. For instance, the netizens shared that Lu Jingqi paid to become a dancer for the boy group, Fixed Star tonight. Some netizens also stated that the only reason why the agency allowed Lu Jingqi to perform was because they could not stand the pressure of the Lu family. Therefore, they were compelled to do so.
As the netizens and passers-by continued reading various versions of the news, they felt completely bewildered.
[So, is the young master of the Lu family really mentally retarded? If he is really mentally retarded, then why would they allow him to dance on stage?]
[Judging from the video, the young master of the Lu family is undoubtedly mentally retarded. However, as you can see from the rumors and the pictures shared by the various parties, there is no doubt that the young master will definitely be appearing on stage.]
[Is the management team of the agency insane? I don’t get what they are trying to do!]
[Please do not attack our little boy working in the public relations department. He is already pitiful enough. I just think that there is no need for mentally disabled dancers.]
[So, did Jiang Yuning agreed to be the starring guest of Fixed Star because of the mentally retarded kid? Does she really think that they are going to perform in a sitcom?]
[Why would K Agency sacrifice our boy group? Are they out of their mind? Please remind K Agency that everyone in the world already knows that the young master of the Lu family is mentally retarded.]
[If he is mentally retarded, he should be checked into a mental hospital. Thank you for your cooperation!]
[Whatever it is, wouldn’t we be able to find out the truth tonight anyway?]
In a short while:
#Burden for the Fixed Star boy group#
#Special guest Jiang Yuning#
#Mentally retarded kid performing for music festival#
#K Agency is insane#
These few topics started taking turns to trend on the hot search and this was the first time that K Agency had appeared on the hot search in such a long time.
It was the first time that the boys’ group had ever appeared on the hot search.
At this time, the issues that the public was most concerned about was whether Lu Jingqi was really mentally retarded, and whether Lu Jingqi would be performing on the stage tonight. That was the reason why Jiang Yuning, the boys’ group, and K Agency also became victims to the rumors.
The music festival tonight also attracted a lot of the passers-by attention because regardless of whether their initial intention was to watch the liver version of the concert or to watch the live broadcast, their focus was solely on Lu Jingqi as he had already aroused their curiosity.
Wasn’t this free publicity?
Therefore, Jiang Yuning was still feeling enthusiastic about the whole situation.
At this time, Fixed Star also succeeded in solidifying its fans because it was regarded as a victim by its loyal fans.
When Wang Jing saw the gossips on the internet, she really wanted to kneel down in front of Jiang Yuning.
Of course, the backup dancers were not the ones who started the rumor on the internet.
However, since it was the digital age at this time, the public and netizens no longer paid any attention to the source of the information. As long as the rumor was accurately portrayed to arouse their curiosity, then it would definitely attract their attention. This was the main reason why the netizens could be swayed very easily.
However, the insiders would have inside information about the entire situation.
Initially, no one paid much attention to K Agency because there were many big-time artistes and big agencies performing at the music festival tonight but at the end of the day, the most popular agency turned out to be a small company that was previously unknown. Of course, everyone did not say much as soon as they saw the words ‘Jiang Yuning’.
At this time, K Agency was not only bombarded by a lot of phone calls from various different media, but they were also a lot of reporters and paparazzi stationed outside the agency at the moment. The employees of K Agency were slightly excited because they had not seen such a lively scene at the entrance of the agency in a very long time.
However, all of them felt that Lu Jingqi was very pitiful.
The public did not even know his full name and all that they knew was that he was the young master of the Lu family. However, he appeared on various hot searches, and there were also many animated pictures and videos on the internet that was made in an attempt to humiliate him.
No one knew any detailed information about him. Therefore, it felt as though this protagonist was very controversial.
...
Jiang Yuning arrived at K Agency at eight-thirty in the morning.
At this time, the few backup dancers were so scared and they were already prepared to ask Jiang Yuning that they did not release the news themselves.
After entering the dance studio, Jiang Yuning glanced at the few people; especially the slightly fat girl before she finally said, “I hope that everyone will come on time tonight. Do not be afraid of getting overlooked”
When the few people heard her sentence, they looked at each other and could not figure out what Jiang Yuning meant.
Why would they be overlooked?
Was it something important?
“Sister Yuning, please check on Jingqi.” At this time, Jin Mingcheng suddenly walked into the dance studio as he reached out to grab Jiang Yuning’s arm.
“What is wrong with Jingqi?”
“He locked himself up in the room and we can’t seem to persuade him at all,” Jin Mingchen replied immediately. “He saw the hot search in the morning and he saw people posting pictures of himself being vilified, scolded, and ridiculed. I really do not understand these people. Why are they so unkind? Do they really find it so fun to mock and humiliate others?”
“Is he very angry?” Jiang Yuning asked as she stared at Jin Mingchen.
“Wouldn’t you be angry too? Jing Qi is a normal person. Even if he is not completely normal, what does it have to do with these people anyway?” Jin Mingchen replied as the both of them walked towards Lu Jingqi’s bedroom.
“You are right,” Jiang Yuning replied as she chuckled lightly. After that, she reminded him to get out of the way first and not to block the door.
