Gu Yang even sent gifts during Yan Xi’s live-stream, which stunned the viewers.
“Oh my god, it’s really Gu Yang, Yangyang!”
“If I hadn’t seen this glittering golden name, I would’ve thought it was a high-quality fake account.”
“Fairies unite!”
“Little Fairy is spot on. Everyone is unique. She’s her own person, and Yan Xi is Yan Xi. Those who treat Yan Xi as a substitute for Little Fairy in the entertainment industry don’t respect either of them.”
Even Yan Xi was taken aback by Gu Yang’s gesture.
Gu Yang had played a crucial role in Yan Xi terminating her contract with Tiansheng Media.
However, to protect his daughter and prevent any retaliation from Tiansheng Media, Gu Zhaoming deliberately avoided mentioning Gu Yang’s involvement and instructed Yan Xi not to mention it either.
It was Yan Xi’s decision to leave the girl group talent show and forfeit her debut opportunity.
Zhaofeng Entertainment respected Yan Xi’s decision without interference, merely laying out the implications for her.
However, the live broadcast was coordinated by the company, and Yan Xi’s planned statements were reviewed in advance by her manager, Han Xi.
Acknowledging that her initial fame stemmed from Gu Yang’s marketing efforts, Yan Xi recognized she had secured her spot in the girl group talent show because of Gu Yang.
Leaving the show shortly after joining Zhaofeng Entertainment inevitably sparked speculation among netizens. Was Zhaofeng Entertainment pressuring her because of Gu Yang? Was Gu Yang manipulating her, akin to another Miss Zhang?
Knowing Gu Zhaoming’s protective stance toward his daughter, Yan Xi trusted he would manage public perception carefully.
Thus, Yan Xi was genuinely surprised when Gu Yang appeared in her live stream.
She smiled warmly. “Thank you, my little fairy.”
Now officially under Zhaofeng Entertainment, Yan Xi felt justified in using the term “my little fairy.”
Amidst Tiansheng Media’s internal turmoil, Yan Xi was not the only one eager to sever ties. With Qiu Baizhou’s legal expertise, she effortlessly terminated her contract and even secured compensation from Tiansheng Media, much to her surprise.
The compensation of two million yuan might not have been substantial to many celebrities or rich second-generation heirs, but for Flame, it was enough to address her immediate needs, including funding for her adoptive father’s urgent heart transplant.
In early November, the capital experienced its first snowfall, a light dusting that left the air tinged with a crisp freshness.
Gu Jin escorted Gu Yang to the Yangning Research Institute in the capital. Although Gu Jin rarely visited personally, she had invested significant research funds into the institute and maintained a private office there.
As they settled in, an assistant knocked on the door and entered, handing snacks to Gu Jin. “Director, someone from the Drug Control Bureau is here. His surname is Xiao.”
Gu Jin nodded. “I see. Ask him to wait.”
Placing the snacks on the table, Gu Jin gently patted Gu Yang’s head. “Yangyang, stay here for a while. Feel free to read any books in the office. I need to step out for a bit.”
Gu Yang nodded obediently. “Yes, I’ll wait for you to come back.”
Gu Jin donned a white lab coat and a mask before heading out.
Gu Yang unwrapped a lollipop and nibbled on its icing while flipping through a medical magazine on the table.
It was an international medical journal featuring the Yangning Research Institute on its cover. The institute’s breakthrough in hemophilia treatment had made headlines in the medical world. Despite media interest in interviewing Gu Jin, all requests had been declined.
While the drug had completed clinical trials, it awaited national approval before its market release.
The visitor from the Drug Control Bureau was likely Xiao Yize, here to see her sister.
