Huayu: Were you ever a top star before writing nonsense?

At 6:30 p.m., Shanghai, a metropolis on a blue planet located on the edge of the Orion Arm, once again fell into the darkness.

As winter approaches, it gets dark earlier and colder.

But this did nothing to dampen the bustling atmosphere of Shanghai. People leaving get off work surged through the city like a tide, and subways, buses, and taxis were all busy.

On the way back, Li Jinming kept glancing at Shen Can.

Having tolerated Jin Ming all the way, Shen Can decided to stop once they reached the residential area.

"Senior, please feel free to speak your mind. I think we can have a heart-to-heart talk."

"No...it's nothing." Li Jinming waved his hand quickly, like a startled rabbit.

"I think there should be more sincerity between people. You've been looking at me with strange eyes the whole way, senior. You probably don't want Sister Ji to know about this either."

Li Jinming: "..."

That sounds a bit strange.

"Okay, to be honest, I'm actually curious about why you have so many talents."

"for example?"

"Opera-style singing," Li Jinming blurted out.

The scene from that afternoon at Lan Fenghuang flashed through her mind. The song "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion," which had appeared once in Shen Can's novel, was sung a cappella by Shen Can, sounding like heavenly music. She and Xu Xinran were both stunned, especially by the opera-style vocals at the climax of the song.

Li Jinming could still recall Xu Xinran's shocked expression. That woman, who had been so aggressive towards him, was now trembling with excitement after hearing a song, repeatedly exclaiming "Amazing!"

Of course, she herself was the same.

At the same time, Li Jinming also understood why Shen Can dared to release the song on November 2nd.

With his two songs, "Sorrow" and "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion," Shen Can is indeed qualified to compete with Li and Zhou.

She just couldn't understand why Shen Can could do this too, since it was Li Yugang's specialty. And he even seemed to sing it better than Li Yugang.

Many times, Li Jinming felt that Shen Can was like a mysterious and powerful magician.

Just when you think that conjuring objects out of thin air is his limit, he demonstrates free-floating, always surprising and refreshing people.

This sparked her deep curiosity.

This junior is truly amazing; it makes you want to figure him out and find out what other tricks he's up his sleeve.

"Perhaps that's just talent. Some people are eloquent, some are like succubi who can convince others with just a few words, some are very sensitive to opportunities for wealth, and some have strong physical abilities..."

Shen Can offered a casual explanation.

"However, these are not things you need to worry about. Senior, your most important task right now is to do a good job as my agent; I'm short of money."

"Is it because Zhao Ji's family is rich that you feel pressured?" Li Jinming asked with a smile.

Shen Can glanced at Jin Ming, wondering to himself what she was imagining now.

As for pressure, there is absolutely none.

He was itching to buy property in Shanghai in 07, and at the same time, he was thinking about quickly laying out his future plans for the Internet and becoming a capital tycoon.

These things can't be done without money.

Shen Can didn't want to reveal too much to Li Jinming, and his silence was interpreted by Li Jinming as tacit agreement.

"If my junior has this idea, he must be aiming to marry Zhao Ji. He wants a marriage between equals... What a great man. I wish someone treated me that well," Li Jinming thought to himself.

"Don't worry, junior, I'll definitely help you with this," Li Jinming said to Shen Can.

She's not the kind of person who wants her best friend to both suffer and drive a Range Rover.

Shen Can looked at Li Jinming with suspicion, secretly guessing that Li Jinming had probably imagined something again.

Forget it, let her think what she wants.

As long as it doesn't affect my work, it's fine.

It's worth mentioning that at 5 PM today, Shen Can posted a blog post revealing the number of his newly obtained phone card.

This is also standard practice for celebrities. Since they cannot disclose their private phone numbers, they will set up a special agent number for them.

This number will be the contact method for future business collaborations with him. Whoever becomes his agent will be given this number to use.

Two minutes later, Shen Can and Li Jinming got out of the elevator together.

After knocking, the door opened.

Zhao Ji looked at the two of them, his excitement overflowing: "You're finally back! I was so bored at home with no one to talk to."

Shen Can understands that in this era without smartphones, a person living alone at home can only pass the time by surfing the internet and sleeping.

"It'll be fine in a couple of days. Once Jinming's work gets back on track, she can stay home with you."

In routine, non-critical work situations, agents do not need to accompany artists throughout their work. Their main tasks focus on remote planning (such as business coordination, contract review, resource selection, etc.).

Of course, in Shen Can's case, the agent's role is more like a telephone customer service representative and a public relations crisis alarm.

Li Jinming only needs to report the important phone conversations and public relations crises to him.

Shen Can will consider things like scheduling, accepting or not accepting orders, and how to handle public relations crises himself.

Besides, when Li Jinming encounters problems while staying with Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji can also help her.

"Mm." Zhao Ji nodded, and after Shen Can entered, she said to him:

"I wonder if you have some kind of super-hot physique? The novel's popularity had barely died down when you became popular again, and some people even call you the 'Prophet'."

She spoke with a smile on her face.

Li Jinming, who had taken off his socks, revealing his snow-white feet, was startled by the question: "What happened?"

Public opinion surrounding celebrities falls within her scope of work.

"Do you remember that gossip article about Gao Yuanyuan that your junior wrote?" Zhao Ji said with a slight smile, glancing at Shen Can as he spoke.

Li Jinming nodded.

Zhao Ji's words also made Shen Can guess why netizens called him the "Prophet".

"Did Yuan Quan and Xia Yu get back together?" Shen Can asked.

"That's right." Zhao Ji's beautiful eyes darted around as she looked at Shen Can:

"At the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, reporters photographed them holding hands intimately. Although Xia Yu and Yuan Quan have not yet responded, they should have gotten back together, otherwise they would not have appeared in front of reporters so publicly."

You have a great eye for people; you guessed it right.

Shen Can remained noncommittal.

For others, it's a closed-book exam.

But for him, it was an open-book exam.

He was a top student for at least twenty years.

Li Jinming suddenly became excited and said to Shen Can, "The opportunity has come. We can strike while the iron is hot and release the specific time of your next song release. It will definitely be a hit."

Shen Can walked towards his room: "I don't need to ride on their reunion's popularity when I release a song."

He doesn't just try to ride the coattails of any trending topic; he has his own unique approach.
