Meng Tian couldn’t figure it out. She asked Wang Jing, “What about Pei Xin? Pei Xin isn’t even a celebrity. What benefits could she bring to the company? How am 1 inferior to her?”
“I just checked Pei Xin’s company,” Wang Jing explained seriously. “I’ve asked the company about your livestream. You had a lot of unprofessionalism during the livestream, and it was all thanks to Pei Xin’s people who made the whole thing a success. The people Pei Xin had were all capable. Moreover, everything was planned by Pei Xin. The female artist participating in the livestream can be you or other celebrities. You can be replaced, but Pei Xin is irreplaceable. This is the difference in status between you and her.”
Meng Tian sat on the ground in a daze, slowly digesting Wang Jing’s words.
She had previously thought that Pei Xin was just a pawn and that the relevant processes of the livestream were completed by the staff behind the scenes.
So all of this was done by Pei Xin?
Meng Tian took a deep breath and said to Wang Jing, “Since CEO Lu has already said that Pei Xin has the final say on how to deal with me, I’ll go and beg for forgiveness now.”
As she spoke, Meng Tian was about to put on her hat and go look for Pei Xin, but she was stopped by Wang Jing.
Wang Jing said helplessly, “Don’t. Pei Xin is busy. If you want to repent, 1 suggest you apologize under your account.”
“What?” Meng Tian asked in surprise. “Do you know what an apology means? 1’11 be kicking myself in the face! Do I have to tell those fans who trust me that the post I posted previously was because 1 was dissatisfied with Pei Xin?”
To maintain her image, Meng Tian usually deliberately sold her character.
For female artists, the creation of their image was very important. Once the image collapsed, it was very likely to lead to the loss of fans. More seriously, it would also affect the actress’s own resources.
Her current income was quite unstable. If this caused a lot of resources to be lost, her income would be severely reduced.
It was impossible for Wang Jing not to know this.
Wang Jing saw Meng Tian’s hesitation. She tried to persuade her.
“If you apologize now, at least you’ll be willing to take responsibility for your mistakes. Moreover, you’ll be able to win Pei Xin’s favor. You might even be able to get Pei Xin’s forgiveness.
“If you don’t apologize, it’ll be equivalent to you going against Pei Xin. Pei Xin is busy with the livestream now and can’t be bothered to settle scores with you. What about in the future?
“If Pei Xin and Lu Huai continue to work together, Pei Xin can say one sentence and ruin your life, and you might be half-banned by the company.
“In the past, it was always the other female artists who chose the roles. In the future, these roles might be picked up by others and only given to you if they don’t want them. Do you want to live like this? At that time, forget about increasing your fans and income, there might not even be a place for you in the entertainment industry.”
Wang Jing’s words hit Meng Tian in the heart hard.
She was not a person without ambition.
Her family wasn’t rich. She was able to get to where she was today not only because she was good-looking, but also because the person who brought her up was Wang Jing.
When she followed Wang Jing, Wang Jing would choose roles that suited her image. She did not need to participate in drinking parties or curry favors with those greasy middle-aged men.
Thinking of this, Meng Tian didn’t want to fizzle out like this. She wanted to seize every opportunity and walk firmly in the entertainment industry.
Meng Tian took a deep breath and looked at Wang Jing calmly. “I’ve thought it through. 1’11 release an apology statement under my account now.”
Soon after, Meng Tian posted another message under her account. Compared to the short message before, this time, she typed a whole paragraph and her feelings were much more sincere.
[The previous post caused everyone to misunderstand and think that Pei Xin had done something to me. 1 hereby clarify that Pei Xin had never targeted me. Instead, it was because I didn’t study well during the previous livestream and I irresponsibly called out the wrong selling points of each product. It’s all thanks to Zhou Yu that the products were explained well..]
