In the following time, Jiang Mu devoted all her attention to losing weight and keeping fit, but she did not simply lose weight. Instead, she found several teachers and spent time learning martial arts and sword dancing.
She heard from her assistant that her agent has signed a few more artists, one of whom is Lin Chuchu.
And she seemed to have been abandoned by her original agent, and no one cared about her at all.
That's right, she originally made a living by her looks, and now that she has lost her beauty, she has lost the capital to survive in the entertainment industry. Her agent had hoped that she would be able to cheer up and lose weight, but her condition became more and more serious, and she couldn't control herself at all. Her agent was extremely disappointed in her a long time ago, and now that he has a new artist, he has forgotten about her.
Even if he think of her occasionally, he can only sigh and say that she is not up to standard.
These days, the company is considering changing her agent, and her contract is about to expire. The company's top management is discussing giving up on her, so they arranged a newly hired agent for her.
Most good agents have a lot of resources and connections, and can bring many benefits to the artists they manage. The original owner's previous agent was like this, and was considered an A-level agent in the company. It was he who saw that the original owner had the potential to become famous and took the initiative to sign her.
But now he feels that the original owner is hopeless, so he resolutely decides to give up on her, and even turns around to sign Lin Chuchu, who is of lower status but is currently in the limelight.
The original owner did not tell the agent about her secret marriage with Qin Che, but she had clearly expressed her dislike for Lin Chuchu, but the agent still brought her under his control.
When Lin Chuchu served as the original owner's substitute, the original owner didn't like her very much. Now it seems that the original owner was still very far-sighted.
Not only did Lin Chuchu fall in love with the original owner's husband, indirectly causing the original owner to divorce, but now she has taken her place and become the artist that her agent is currently promoting.
This grudge has indeed become a big one.
When Jiang Mu learned the news, she didn't react much.
She told her assistant that she understood and hung up the phone.
To be honest, there is nothing to blame the agency for treating her like this. In her current condition, she really can't bring any benefits to the company, and giving up on her is the right decision.
At worst, she could start her own company, become an investor, and find resources for herself. That's not impossible.
After the divorce, she got a lot of property, plus her previous savings, her net worth is already several hundred million.
Although Qin Che was heartless to her, he did not leave her out when dividing the property. He did not take a penny of the original owner's earnings, but gave her half of what he earned as the common property of the couple. He directly allocated 500 million to her, plus several properties worth tens of millions. Now Jiang Mu had so much money that she could not spend it all.
However, in the entertainment industry, even if these hundreds of millions were really used to make movies, they would not be enough for her to make movies.
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Jiang Mu would not need to take such a big risk and start her own company.
After all, her purpose was not to make money, but for Qin Che.
The easiest way to get close to Qin Che is to film a movie with him.
Spending day and night together on the crew is a great opportunity to seduce him.
In the past, the original owner wanted to film with him, but was rejected repeatedly by him. At most, the original owner made a cameo appearance in Qin Che's dramas, and rarely played a supporting female role. Later, the original owner's value and status increased. If she was not the female lead in a TV series, her agent would not let her take the role. The opportunity to work with Qin Che in a movie was even less.
Ever since Qin Che won the Best Actor award, he has been working with big directors. The original owner's acting skills were average, and it was difficult for her to be noticed by big directors during auditions.
However, Jiang Mu is not in a hurry about acting.
She stayed at home for a few days, eating diet meals every day, learning yoga, and dancing ballet. However, she had no communication with the outside world and had fewer opportunities to increase her green tea index, so she didn't lose weight that fast. But maybe because the base was too large, her flesh gained weight all of a sudden. She still had a thin foundation, so she became thinner visibly.
Seeing her belly getting smaller, Jiang Mu's mood improved.
In order to allow herself to eat as much as possible without gaining weight, she developed several delicious, low-calorie diet meals.
Jiang Mu had nothing to do anyway, so she simply set up the gimbal on her phone and shot a few vlogs while making her own diet meals.
In the past, her Weibo was managed by someone in charge, but now her agent doesn't care about her anymore, so naturally no one takes care of her Weibo, and it hasn't been updated for many days.
Jiang Mu clicked on it and took a look. The last Weibo post was a brand promotion post two months ago. There were nearly 100,000 comments below it. When her ugly fat photos were leaked, many fans couldn't believe it and came to ask about it on Weibo. Later, she never came out to clarify, so everyone just took it as her tacit consent.
Nowadays, there are still many true fans commenting, saying that they miss her and care about her recent situation.
Jiang Mu thought that the original owner actually had many people who truly liked and cared about her, such as her best friend Xie Qianqian and those true fans. Unfortunately, her world revolved around a man who didn't love her, so she couldn't see these things.
Jiang Mu processed the video she had just shot and sent it to Xie Qianqian first.
Jiang Mu: [ Baby, look at what I just took. ]
Xie Qianqian works in a publishing house. She is an editor there. Her work is not busy, but she has to read a lot of manuscripts every day, so sometimes she brings work home.
At that time, she was reading a manuscript in front of the computer. When she received the message, she replied immediately after reading it.
Xie Qianqian: [ Really good, looks delicious. ]
Jiang Mu: [ I plan to post on Weibo. ]
Xie Qianqian: [ Can I send it? ]
Jiang Mu's face and figure were captured in the video. Although she was a little thinner, there was still a big difference compared to her previous appearance.
Jiang Mu: [ Of course, no one cares about me now. ]
Xie Qianqian: [ Then please post it. I think it's quite interesting. ]
Jiang Mu had already edited the copy and was ready to publish it.
Unexpectedly, this Weibo post became a hot topic shortly after it was published.
Jiang Mu suddenly posted on Weibo after gaining a lot of weight, which was likely to attract attention, and what she posted was a video.
In the video, it is the first time that Jiang Mu appears in public. She has indeed gained a lot of weight, but she looks healthy in the video. She looks good even without makeup. With the fat lost on her face, her double chin is not so exaggerated anymore. Although she is still a little chubby, she is round and cute. After a few days of sleep, her dark circles are gone and her skin has a healthy glow.
She was totally different from the fat and ugly person in the previous secretly taken photo, and she looked lifeless.
She suddenly became like this before, and there were all kinds of things said about her on the Internet. Some said she was heartbroken, some said she was taking drugs...they described her in a very bad light.
But this time Jiang Mu directly released the video, and many rumors were refuted.
Within an hour of this Weibo post becoming a hot topic, it was seen by many people.
Qin Che, the original owner's former agent, and current agent...
Everyone was surprised that Jiang Mu would post such a Weibo at this time.
Didn't they say that her mental state was very bad, she was on the verge of death, she kept eating every day and vomited after eating?
Why does she look fine in the video? Although she is still a little fat, she doesn't look ugly.
Moreover, the weight loss meal made by Jiang Mu looks very healthy and delicious.
Jiang Mu never posted anything like this before, but this time it was a big surprise.
Soon, someone imitated Jiang Mu's weight loss meal and made their own, posted it on Weibo and other sharing platforms, saying that it was indeed delicious.
Jiang Mu watched as the comments on the Weibo post she had just posted grew from a few thousand to tens of thousands. When she woke up the next morning, there were already seventy or eighty thousand comments.
She also received a few more calls. Her current rookie agent called her to discuss future work with her.
Jiang Mu lost interest after talking to him for a few sentences. She was indeed a newcomer who didn't even know what to do, yet he still asked her. Jiang Mu said a few perfunctory words and hung up the phone.
Her former agent also called her. On the surface, he was concerned about her current situation, but in fact, he wanted to squeeze out the last bit of her value. She heard that he had given several resources that belonged to the original owner to Lin Chuchu. Although they were just sesame seeds for the original owner, after all, Lin Chuchu's status could not eat such a big watermelon.
But it's also pretty disconcerting.
That night, Qin Che also called Jiang Mu.
She saw the name Qin Che on the caller ID.
Jiang Mu's expression changed.
She thought Qin Che would call her after she told Qin's mother about their divorce that day, but she didn't expect him to call only now.
Jiang Mu picked up the phone and didn't say anything.
Qin Che also waited for a few seconds before speaking.
The first conversation between the two after their divorce seemed very strange and awkward.
"You're home?"
Jiang Mu: "Well, what's the matter?"
Qin Che heard Jiang Mu's cold tone, he paused and said: "Nothing, how are you doing recently?"
"I'm fine, but Aunt Qin called me a few days ago and she knew about the divorce."
Qin Che: "Yeah."
Jiang Mu frowned. He knew about it, so why was there no movement at all?
Jiang Mu: "So why are you calling?"
Qin Che: "I have something at home and need to come back to get it."
Jiang Mu: "Whatever it is, I'll send it to you."
Jiang Mu's ruthless tone made Qin Che very strange.
A few days ago, Jiang Mu was desperate for him, crying and refusing to divorce, and even overeating.
It wasn't long before she calmed down.
But it's okay this way.
Qin Che's tone was also very calm, "No need, I'll ask someone to come get it."
"Good."
Jiang Mu hung up the phone after she finished speaking.
Qin Che was stunned for a moment holding the phone. It was the first time that Jiang Mu hung up on him, and so quickly.
Jiang Mu sneered.
I'll always let you experience the feeling of being hung up on suddenly.
After finishing the phone call, Jiang Mu put those people who affected her mood behind her.
In the following days, she focused on losing weight and took some daily photos and posted them on Weibo.
Since she updated her vlog, her fans have not decreased, but increased a lot.
Because her weight loss results are so obvious, many fans follow her to eat diet meals.
Many internet celebrities and stars have tried to make the several weight-loss meals she invented, and the response has been very good.
The entertainment industry is like this. People are not afraid of being criticized, but they are afraid of being forgotten.
Jiang Mu reappeared in front of the public, and her popularity not only did not decrease, but her national popularity became even higher.
Half a month later, Jiang Mu heard from her assistant that the top female artist in the company wanted to terminate her contract and start her own business.
Jiang Mu's mind immediately became active.
That artist's agent is the company's gold medal agent Lu Ran.
In addition to being a gold medal agent, Lu Ran is also one of the three major partners of the company and has a certain say in the company. He only has two artists under his control, one is the top-tier artist Xia Xiao, and the other is the extremely popular phenomenal singer Shen Zhiyou.
Now that Xia Xiao has left, Lu Ran will definitely have to sign a new artist.
This is Jiang Mu's chance.
Lu Ran is very picky, but he often chooses artists based on his mood. As long as he wants to promote someone, he will definitely make them famous.
When he signed Xia Xiao, Xia Xiao was just an 18th-tier celebrity, serving as a stand-in for a first-tier actress, and Shen Zhiyou was a trainee.
Neither of them has any shining points, but Lu Ran chose them and brought them to their current positions.
Lu Ran was interviewed before and asked why he had such a sharp vision. He said: It's not that I have a sharp vision, it's just that as long as I want to do something, I can do it.
Unfortunately, he has always been unwilling to bring a few more people, and his reason for refusal is that he is too busy and two people are enough to keep him busy.
Indeed, a good agent has a lot to do, especially when he is the agent of two top artists, he has to worry about everything.
She heard from the assistant that Lu Ran will come to the company today.
She guess it's because of this matter.
Jiang Mu thought about it. She remembered that Qin Che and Xia Xiao had filmed a play together. Qin Che's agent was very familiar with Lu Ran, so Qin Che and Lu Ran had also had dinner together several times.
During their casual chat, she heard Qin Che talk about Lu Ran's hobbies, saying that whenever he came to City S, he would go to a bar in the evening.
Jiang Mu looked at her fleshy body and felt a little haggard, but she was still ready to take a gamble.
She has lost a lot of weight these days. Although she is still 20 kilograms away from her goal, it is not as exaggerated as before.
She packed up and prepared to meet Lu Ran in the evening.
Although the original owner had met Lu Ran before, the two had never dealt with each other.
All she know is that he is a decisive, cold and strict man. Although he is very handsome, everyone in the company is afraid of him, even his own artists are afraid of him.
And she heard that he has a strong background and is a rich second-generation. The company where Jiang Mu works was founded by him and two friends. In just two years, the company has gained a place in the circle.
There was never a shortage of women around him, but he changed them quickly. No woman had ever stayed with him for more than two months.
