My agency went bankrupt before I even got on stage.

The director's morning grumpiness quickly dissipated after he learned that Lin Fan had occupied five of the top ten trending topics!

He was so excited he didn't even put on his shoes, practically yelling at Lin Fan's PD, Liu Jia, "Where's Lin Fan? Where is he? Get him to the live stream right now!"

Liu Jia shrugged: "Where else could I be? Sleeping in bed!"

"Sleep? Sleep what? How can he still be sleeping at this hour? Wake him up!"

"Director, didn't you say not to disturb his sleep? After all, many people like to see Lin Fan sleeping! Besides, they didn't get back to their dorms, shower, and go to bed until after 5 a.m. yesterday, and it's only 8 a.m. now!"

"Well……"

The director felt as if someone had grabbed him by the throat. He then remembered Lin Fan's uniqueness, but he was also somewhat unwilling: "He said such childish things last night, so he must have a dream. Here's what you do, after they wake up, do a separate interview to solidify the effect of trending on social media."

"OK!"

Liu Jia also knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If used well, Lin Fan's popularity would rise rapidly, and the topicality and popularity of the "Morning Star" program would also soar.

That's how realistic the entertainment industry is. Once Lin Fan gained popularity, they'll try every means to exploit him. What's more, Lin Fan is just an ordinary person without a management company, so the production team will definitely do everything they can to make the most of this trending topic.

However, before Lin Fan could get up, Liu Jia encountered an unexpected person.

Even light rain.

Lin Fan's former agency owner and former agent.

Wearing a bright red dress, Lian Xiaoyu showed no signs of bankruptcy or despair. Like a swan, she walked up to Liu Jia with her neck held high.

"I've come to see my employee, Lin Fan."

"Lin Fan's boss?"

Liu Jia's expression was a bit strange. Although she had seen all sorts of bizarre things in the entertainment industry, she wondered if her sister, who had just gone bankrupt 36 hours ago, had forgotten her identity and whose territory she was on.

Seeing that Liu Jia remained unmoved, Lian Xiaoyu was somewhat annoyed, but not wanting to appear weak, she continued with her head held high: "I've already spoken to your director, and he's given his permission for me to see Lin Fan!"

Liu Jia nodded. Generally speaking, trainees are prohibited from contacting the outside world during the talent show at the big factory. However, this "outside world" does not include the management company. After all, the management company needs to keep in touch with its trainees at all times. In addition to not being able to tell them their rankings, the management company needs to monitor the trainees' mental state and learning progress, and also needs to remind the trainees who to build good relationships with and who to keep their distance from. At the same time, the management company also needs to contact external resources for the trainees, organize fan support, and so on. The birth of every idol is not a simple matter.

Although Morning Star claims to be broadcast live in its entirety, the shady dealings behind it are no less than those of a pre-recorded broadcast.

However, everyone knows that Lin Fan's agency has gone bankrupt. Even if Xiao Yu is here now, whether it's a comeback or not, it's definitely related to the trending topics this morning.

Thinking about this, Liu Jia couldn't help but admire Lian Xiaoyu's keen sense of smell. Lin Fan had just broken out of the circle, and she immediately came to his aid. It was likely that Lin Fan, an orphan student, would soon be under Lian Xiaoyu's control again.

However, none of this concerned her. Liu Jia walked into room 404, knocked on Lin Fan's bedside, and whispered, "Lin Fan, it's time to get up, your agent is here."

Lin Fan was half asleep when he heard the words "manager." He was a little drowsy and rolled over to find a more comfortable position for himself: "Let me sleep a little longer."

Liu Jia shrugged at Lian Xiaoyu outside the door, indicating that she was powerless to help.

Lian Xiaoyu was furious, but she had to suppress her temper and continue waiting in the blind spot of the live broadcast camera outside the door. In her heart, she was cursing Lin Fan: "That damn Lin Fan, he begged me to bring him into the entertainment industry back then, and now that he's in the industry, he's turned his back on me!"

At that moment, Lu Bingyang and his group rushed into room 404, yelling. Just like yesterday, one lifted Lin Fan by the foot and the other by the shoulder, and together they pulled him off the bed: "Brother Fan! Brother Fan! Get up!"

Lin Fan was woken up several times and instantly went berserk: "You bunch of lunatics! What time is it? How come you're all so energetic?"

"It's already 10 o'clock, let's eat quickly and then go back to dance practice!"

"What's the point of practicing? I want to sleep!"

"Stop sleeping! Go practice your dance!"

"No! I haven't had enough sleep yet..."

Lu Bingyang said righteously, "Brother Fan, have you forgotten what you promised us yesterday?"

Gao Yan: "Never late or leave early!"

Frog: "Practice dancing hard so you don't hold the team back!"

A-Zhe: "...Yes!"

Lin, a man of his word, who would keep his promises even on his knees, went online: "I was wrong! Why did I agree to that? Can I take it back now? Okay, okay, I'll get up right now!"

……

After Lin Fan finished washing up, he followed Lu Bingyang and the others out of the dormitory and immediately saw Lian Xiaoyu standing at the door.

After all, he was the original owner's manager, so the impression was still quite deep. Lin Fan pushed aside Lu Bingyang and the others, and walked up to Lian Xiaoyu: "Boss Lian, what brings you here?"

Can we talk just between us?

Lin Fan glanced at the others, and Lu Bingyang immediately understood: "Brother Fan, we'll wait for you in the cafeteria."

PD Liu Jia, who was accompanying the group, quickly said, "Lin Fan has another interview later."

"Alright," Lu Bingyang and the others thought enviously, "then we'll head to the training room first."

Lin Fan nodded, "I'll be there soon, it won't interfere with practice."

"Okay, we're off!"

Lu Bingyang and the others left first, and the accompanying PD Liu Jia also gave space to Lin Fan and Lian Xiaoyu, temporarily shifting the live broadcast camera elsewhere to avoid accidentally filming Lian Xiaoyu.

Once everyone who wasn't involved had left, Lian Xiaoyu preemptively declared, "Xiao Fanfan, you're famous! You're trending!"

"What's trending?"

Lin Fan was a little confused. Was it the trending topic he understood?

Without saying a word, Lian Xiaoyu took out her phone, opened the SuperBlog trending search page, and handed it to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan took the phone and saw that there were five trending topics related to him on the screen!

"Hiss—!" Lin Fan gasped.

Lian Xiaoyu smiled: "Understood?"

"Got it." Lin Fan nodded vigorously. "The 'Morning Star' program team is really big-spending! How much money must have cost! Giving me so many trending topics, I feel so bad!"

My buddy doesn't want to debut, so he's just wasting all that money the production team spent... Will the production team make him pay it back?

No way! I don't have any money!

Lian Xiaoyu looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Lin Fan asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"It's not that it's wrong, it's absolutely outrageous!"

Lian Xiaoyu wished she could crack open Lin Fan's skull to see if it was filled with water or paste.
