"Wow! My idol just smiled again! Did he grab his manager's hand?!"
After watching the red carpet segment, Cherry couldn't resist going back and watching it several times. She was almost melted by her own imagination and couldn't help but smile. Then she quickly cut out that part and opened that sinful folder with a "hehe" laugh.

Once inside the venue, Ye Cang sat down, next to an old acquaintance, Tang Ruoyi, one of the judges of "The Rising Star". Tang Ruoyi was determined to recruit Ye Cang to Huayu Records, but due to the copyright of the songs, they ultimately failed to reach an agreement.
Upon seeing her again, Tang Ruoyi's expression was very complicated: "If I had known you were so talented, I should have tried my best to persuade the company to poach you back then."
Ye Cang laughed and said, "That doesn't necessarily mean it will succeed."
Tang Ruoyi: "..."
She couldn't help but ask, "As far as I know, Morningstar Entertainment isn't exactly a top company in the industry. Just how much did they offer you to make you so devoted to staying here?"
Ye Cang stroked his chin: "Hmm, manager, I guess."
Tang Ruoyi: "???"
Shen Huai happened to walk over and, upon hearing this, said: "..."
Fortunately, the press conference started quickly, and Tang Ruoyi put the question aside.
After going through a series of procedures, it was finally Chairman Fang's turn to award Ye Cang the platinum certification for his physical record.
Chairman Fang was deeply moved. He had wanted to advise Ye Cang to focus more on creating original works and not to lose himself in the glory, but after looking into Ye Cang's eyes, he swallowed his words.
He patted Ye Cang on the shoulder kindly and handed him the microphone: "Young man, now it's your stage."
These words had a double meaning, but Ye Cang's smile, though faint, exuded confidence: "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Chairman Fang stepped off the stage with a smile, while Ye Cang, holding the microphone, turned to face the audience.
As an artist who often makes surprising remarks, he can easily become a trending topic. The media present were excited and pointed their cameras at him, waiting for today's headlines.
This time, however, Ye Cang's speech was very proper, and he thanked everyone in a very official manner.
But in the end, he turned his gaze to a certain place in the audience.
"But the person I want to thank the most is you, Shen Huai."
Chapter 63
As soon as Ye Cang spoke, all the cameras instantly turned to Shen Huai's direction.
Shen Huai looked at the stage in shock.
Ye Cang looked sincere and said earnestly, "My agent is excellent and professional. I am a very stubborn person and often have disagreements with him, but he always respects my opinions. I don't know how much he has done for me in private, nor do I know how much pressure he has silently borne for me. The honor I have now is not only my own, but also half of his contribution."
"He is the person I am most grateful to, and also the most important person in my life."
He fixed his gaze on Shen Huai.
"Thank you for pulling me out of the icy water, and thank you for seeing me."
The first sentence was what he said to the original Ye Cang, but the second sentence was what he wanted to say to Shen Huai.
Shen Huai understood, but precisely because he understood, his feelings became complicated. Just as he had once told his friend, becoming a manager and managing his artists was like an investment; whether they were grateful or resentful, it wouldn't affect his mood.
But now, hearing Ye Cang solemnly thank him on such an important occasion, the satisfaction and emotion in his heart were genuine.
The media below had all done their homework beforehand, knowing that Ye Cang had been abandoned by his former agent and attempted suicide in despair. It was Shen Huai who arrived at the rented apartment in time to save him. Later, it was Shen Huai who took over and brought him to his current position.
That's why someone as unruly as Ye Cang could completely set aside his pride and publicly express his gratitude to him on such a occasion.
Although this isn't a major breaking news story, compared to the current messy situation of artists and their agents tearing each other apart, their experience of supporting and helping each other succeed is enough to write a touching article.
The fans in the live chat were also deeply moved.
[I just looked up Cangcang's background, and I came back crying. I'm so grateful for such a wonderful Cangcang, and also for her manager. If it weren't for him, we might not be able to see Cangcang now.]
Cangcang is truly grateful to his manager. The way he bowed so earnestly just now really touched my heart. Thank you so much, manager.
[The agent is really great and professional. Our Cangcang has become incredibly popular. Even though Cangcang is talented, she is easily targeted by online trolls, but she has been very steady along the way. Thank you, agent.]
[That trashy former manager!! He was so prejudiced, now he regrets it so much seeing how amazing our Cangcang is! Luckily, Cangcang is fortunate to have met her current handsome manager. Thank you, manager, please continue to support each other like this!]
[Waaaaah, what an incredibly touching friendship! Please, you two should never be apart! Thank you, manager, from now on I'm a fan of both you and Cangcang!!!]
Thank you, agent.
Thank you, Agent 1
A short while later, the screen was filled with comments like "Thank you, manager."
Most of the people who used to be fans of Shen Huai did so because of his face, but seeing this scene now, they couldn't help but speak up.
Handsome, kind-hearted, and highly skilled—where can you find a male god like this?!
[Huaihuai is really cold on the outside but warm on the inside. I have absolutely no resistance to people like her.]
[Sobbing, both of them are so talented and so pitiful. Ye Cang was betrayed by his former manager, but Huai Huai was also betrayed by his own artist before. I hope they can always be like this and stay together.]
Cherry, a fan of the couple, burst into tears.
[Mom, what two amazing celebrities have I become a fan of?!]
After the press conference ended, the hashtag #YeCangThanksAgentWithTears# trended on social media again, with Ye Cang's fans diligently expressing their gratitude and thanking his agent, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
