Chapter 19: The Agent He Gradually Wrong (18)
Chapter 19
Ji Huan's answer was very conventional.
Yin Zhizhi, however, laughed with great delight and said, "Then you'll have to protect me well in the future. I think when I become more famous, I'll definitely encounter this kind of thing again, and I'll be relying on you from now on."
"Okay, as long as you tell me if someone harasses you in the future."
"Why hold grudges? It was my fault, I was wrong."
She sat cross-legged on the chair with a smiling face, her mouth saying she was wrong, but her eyes clearly conveying defiance.
Ji Huan sighed inwardly. After all, this was their first time working together, and they had only been collaborating for a few days. Plus, they were a man and a woman, so it was understandable that Yin Zhizhi didn't fully trust him yet.
It proved that female managers working with female artists did make it easier to get closer and establish friendly relationships.
"The other car is still following us from far behind," Yin Zhizhi glanced back.
Ji Huan was unconcerned, "It's fine, the driver is familiar with this area, and they'll lose them after a few detours."
"Can I post on social media to condemn them for surrounding my home?"
"There's no need to condemn them. Someone will spread this news, and the silent grievance is the greatest grievance."
Yin Zhizhi's eyes flickered for a moment. Ji Huan really knew how to play the game, befitting a top manager who had mastered all the tricks.

Indeed, there was no need for Yin Zhizhi to condemn anyone, as the incident of her residential community being surrounded had already been reported by others.
Without getting the main subject for an interview, they could only write other news.
So the news they wrote was: "Female celebrity Yin Zhizhi's residence leaked, paparazzi swarm and surround her community at night, with shocking pictures of fans climbing over walls and blocking gates."
Just half an hour ago, Yin Zhizhi had become a trending topic due to the sexual harassment incident, and now her home address had been leaked.
Immediately, she became the second trending topic.
#YinZhizhiResidenceLeaked#
[Oh my god, what bad luck did Yin Zhizhi have today? How can one misfortune follow another like this? This is too much, those people surrounding her home at night, so scary.]
[How did her address get leaked? Could it be that unscrupulous investor taking revenge on Yin Zhizhi?]
[I hope Yin Zhizhi is okay?]
[Breaking news, latest gossip, Yin Zhizhi's car was followed by reporters for half an hour before they lost her, so Yin Zhizhi should be safe, but tonight must have been terrifying for her with one thing after another.]
[I feel so bad for her, she just returned to the country, and some things are truly sick. What's so great about taking pictures and surrounding her? Leaving her with nowhere to go in the middle of the night.]
[Most importantly, just an hour ago that disgusting thing happened, and now she can't even go home after it ended. So heartbreaking.]
[Heh, celebrities get paid so highly, they have to pay the price. This is nothing, they didn't even manage to surround her, did they? While you're feeling sorry for her, she's probably staying at a high-end hotel, the kind that costs tens of thousands per night, a year's salary for a working-class person.]
[...No need to change the subject, okay? If you get paid highly but don't do your job well, then you deserve to be criticized. But in this case, it's clearly the fault of those surrounding Yin Zhizhi, they're clearly the deformed ones!!]
[Just saying meekly, Yin Zhizhi has never done anything wrong in her work from a young age...]
Ji Huan posted an update from Yin Zhizhi's social media account to reassure fans.
[Zhizhi, remembering to reassure us at a time like this, it's so heartbreaking. Good girl, go rest properly.]
[Zhizhi, stay strong, don't be sad, we'll always be with you.]
The driver took them back, and Yin Zhizhi followed Ji Huan into the elevator.
Xi Yun Garden, A's residential community inside the Second Ring Road, is a prestigious area of prime real estate with great privacy and one elevator per unit leading directly into spacious apartments.
The elevator took them straight home, and Yin Zhizhi was pleasantly surprised by Ji Huan's place.
The decor featured white, gray, and pale blue tones, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window, a large sofa in the living room, and a large gray carpet beside the sofa.
Being on a high floor, the window offered a panoramic night view outside.
The overall decor was understated, low-profile, and tasteful.
Ji Huan took off his suit jacket and hung it up, saying, "You'll need to return this dress, so hang it in the wardrobe with a hanger later."
This dress was what the brand required Yin Zhizhi to wear, and they had invited famous reporters to take photos and conduct interviews at the banquet.
With Yin Zhizhi wearing this dress on camera, the photos would appear in entertainment news and the latest fashion magazines in a few days.
Yin Zhizhi couldn't wait to take the dress off, "I want to take a shower, but I don't have any change of clothes."
"..."
Ji Huan had forgotten about this too. The usually meticulous him had forgotten to get her toiletries and such, being the first time he had brought someone home without any experience.
Ji Huan took out his phone, "I'll call the driver to buy what you need and bring it over."
"Okay."
The call connected shortly after.
"Mr. Ji, is there anything else?"
"Yes, go to the mall and buy some things for her, toiletries, and women's sleepwear, underwear."
"Understood."
Hearing him directly mention underwear, Yin Zhizhi's face became a little uncomfortable.
And then, Ji Huan even reported her measurements to the driver.
Yin Zhizhi's eyes widened.
After hanging up, Ji Huan said, "How do you know my measurements so well?"
"As your manager, I need to be familiar with your data."
"You got it wrong!"
"Hm?"
"You're looking at the data I reported when I signed with the company last year. A year has passed..." Yin Zhizhi trailed off, biting her lip, unsure of how to continue.
Ji Huan didn't understand, "I didn't get it wrong, I have a good memory."
"You did get it wrong! A year has passed, and I've grown!" Yin Zhizhi yelled at him.
Ji Huan stared at her blankly, his gaze moving towards her body.
