Trial Marriage Husband: Need To Work Hard (Book 3)

Following on for quite some time, Song Xin's jobs did not run as smoothly as she hoped. She either didn't get many shots in front of the camera, or she was disregarded on the side.

If it was just once or twice, she may have ignored it, but, after missing so many opportunities, she began to suspect that someone was manipulating things behind-the-scenes.

"It's already late. Why are you still sitting here?" Duan Jinghong spotted Song Xin smoking on the balcony and quickly pulled out an ashtray for her.

"Haven't you noticed that my jobs haven't been going well lately?"

"I haven't noticed anything major," Duan Jinghong replied. Song Xin was still appearing on TV programmes and her schedule was still packed full. The only issue was the result wasn't always ideal.

"I keep feeling like Manoban Entertainment is deliberately suppressing me," Song Xin said as she looked into the distance.

"That couldn't be. Manoban Entertainment has no reason to do that."

"Don't forget, Manoban Entertainment doesn't just have one Lisa, there is also Jennie. It wasn't easy for Jennie to get to where she is today. For me to suddenly appear and steal her limelight, she's bound to hate me," Song Xin did not consider for a second that her evil deeds had been exposed in front of Jennie. She simply assumed that Jennie treated her as a competitor.

An intimidating competitor!

"What should we do now?" Duan Jinghong felt that Song Xin's words were not unreasonable.

"Since Manoban Entertainment has gone down this path, they shouldn't blame me for retaliating," Song Xin put out her cigarette with an icy cold gaze. She was indeed talented, but...she thought way too highly of herself.

She was right, Manoban Entertainment was suppressing her. But, it wasn't because of the abilities that she was so proud of.

Early the next morning, news started spreading that Manoban Entertainment was suppressing Song Xin. Since Jennie had taken things so far, she couldn't blame Song Xin for bringing the issue to light.

After hearing the news, Minho immediately knocked on the CEO's office and sat opposite Jennie, "Rumors have started."

"The rumors didn't start on their own. Song Xin started it," Jennie said calmly as she remained focused on the script in front of her. "She wants Lisa and I to know that she's not one to meekly submit to oppression."

"Speaking of this, I don't quite understand how she has offended President Manoban," Minho was confused. "Logically speaking, she may be arrogant, but I've always been the one on the receiving end."

Jennie glanced up at Minho. She did not respond immediately. After planning out her words, she replied, "We have our reasons."

"Jennie, you've never gone around in circles like this," Minho sighed weakly. "I'm quite passive towards your actions."

"The person that provoked Hyun-joo was Song Xin's assistant, Duan Jinghong," Jennie directly skipped the incident with Suzy and told Minho about her other crime. "I'm sure you understand why Lisa made such arrangements."

"Are you sure?" Minho was still doubtful.

"Hyun-joo previously came to Manoban Entertainment to identify the person that provoked her, but she looked all over the agency and did not find the culprit. At that time, we thought the culprit must not be from Manoban Entertainment. But, as it turns out, she changed her appearance," Jennie explained without revealing the part about Yue recognizing the limited edition bag.
