History
Managing Jiang Yu
Li Jie manages Jiang Yu at Xingyuan Entertainment and knows that his innocent public image conceals an unpleasant personality. Before Hello, Baby begins, he unsuccessfully attempts to discover the identity of its non-celebrity guest, even trying to obtain information with money. Despite resenting Jiang Yu’s treatment of him, he agrees to arrange paid trolls at his request 7.
Their disagreements are frequent enough to become routine office gossip. When Li Jie warns Jiang Yu to treat the Su Family’s young master carefully, Jiang Yu threatens to have him blacklisted from the industry. Li Jie angrily leaves, telling him not to seek his help when something goes wrong 12.
Secret Agreement and Show Controversies
After the argument, Li Jie speaks with an unidentified caller using a voice changer. He agrees to follow their instructions in exchange for a promise whose terms are not disclosed in that conversation. The caller tells him to do nothing, claiming Jiang Yu will bring trouble upon himself. Later, Li Jie tells Luo Feichang that a kidney donor has been found for his mother 12.
When the attack on Gu Wancheng’s livestream backfires, Li Jie scolds Jiang Yu and offers to suppress the resulting trending topic. He subsequently reports that Jiang Yu’s image is recovering 15 18.
That recovery does not reassure him for long. Watching Jiang Yu imply that the mystery guest is keeping everyone waiting, Li Jie concludes that he needs to distance himself from his client. Seeing River Moon Bay reinforces his belief that Jiang Yu has antagonized someone he cannot afford to offend 19.
Li Jie later relays a warning that Jiang Yu’s financial backer is unhappy with his behavior on the show. When Jiang Yu leaves his message unanswered, he is untroubled because he expects to be free of him soon 59.
Resignation and New Life
Li Jie resigns and leaves for another city. His unidentified contact arranges his mother’s hospital transfer and funds her kidney transplant, which succeeds. Because he does not have to spend his savings on the operation, he plans to use them to establish a small business 117.
Before discarding his old phone, he transfers its contents and gives them to his contact. He resolves never to work as a manager again, unwilling to risk another client with Jiang Yu’s temperament and powerful backing 117.
When reporters later confront Jiang Yu with allegations that include threatening his former manager’s family, Jiang Yu suspects Li Jie of targeting him. The supplied account does not confirm that Li Jie directly released those allegations 139.
Personality
Li Jie is blunt with Jiang Yu in private and increasingly concerned about being dragged down by his misconduct. Although he initially complies with the order to arrange paid trolls, he recognizes the risks of Jiang Yu’s behavior and eventually prioritizes escaping their professional relationship 7 12 19.
His mother’s welfare is a major personal concern. He responds warmly when Luo Feichang offers support, and his eventual departure allows him to secure her treatment while preserving his savings for their future 12 117.
