Chapter 851: Tiansheng Media’s Rumor

Editor: Henyee Translations

The news of the Yangning Research Institute developing a drug for hemophilia dominated headlines for several days.

Gu Yang’s and Flower Fairy’s popularity took a significant hit.

Meanwhile, Zhaofeng Entertainment had been making strides in the capital’s entertainment scene but faced stiff competition from Tiansheng Media and Ruihua Media.

Just as Gu Zhaoming and Zhaofeng Entertainment’s executives were planning a counterattack, Gu Yang unexpectedly handed them a golden opportunity.

Upon reviewing the document Gu Yang sent, Gu Zhaoming was pleasantly surprised.

He swiftly replied to Gu Yang: [Daughter, you’re truly a blessing! Hahaha, you’ve done me a great service! Leave the rest to me; I won’t let you down!]

Gu Yang responded simply: [Glad I could help ease your burdens.]

Gu Zhaoming also inquired about Gu Yang and Gu Jin’s well-being at school during this time. Despite knowing their wealth, he wanted to ensure they were financially comfortable and transferred a substantial amount of pocket money to their accounts.

Previously, Yan Xi had gained online fame through association with Gu Yang’s popularity. Subsequently, Tiansheng Media flooded the media with various articles to promote her.

This fueled Gu Zhaoming’s fury.

With this opportunity for revenge, Gu Zhaoming vowed not to let it slip away.

Regarding Yan Xi, Gu Zhaoming had initially held reservations about her, but upon reviewing the terms of her agreement with his daughter, his opinion of her improved.

Gu Zhaoming and the company’s executives had no objections to the conditions Gu Yang offered Yan Xi.

After all, it was a deal that promised mutual benefits.

In addition to acquiring leverage over Tiansheng Media and successfully poaching Yan Xi, who had recently gained popularity under their banner,

the cost was merely an investment in hiring Qiu Baizhou to handle legal battles and providing Yan Xi with the resources to rise to a managerial position.

Rather than viewing it as a mere expense, it was more akin to an investment: they provided Yan Xi with resources and protection in exchange for her commitment to the company and profitability.

As the buzz surrounding the Yangning Research Institute’s achievement waned, scandals involving Tiansheng Media erupted across the internet.

Netizens had become accustomed to the unspoken rules of celebrities and tax evasion.

However, what truly shocked them was the revelation of the “truth behind the suicide of a trainee at Tiansheng five years ago.”

This was no longer a matter of celebrity scandal but a criminal case involving loss of life.

During a break at the live broadcast of the girl group’s talent show, Yan Xi overheard whispers among the trainees.

Finding a secluded spot, she pulled out her phone and checked the top trending topics. Seeing the damning expose on Tiansheng Media dominating the rankings, she couldn’t help but tighten her grip on her phone, feeling a surge of excitement.

Zhaofeng Entertainment had delivered as promised.

As the trending topics continued, a recording from “five years ago” surfaced, capturing her disgruntled manager’s voice.

Some of the trainees had the opportunity to participate in the talent show for the girl group, competing for a chance to debut.

Among them was a Tiansheng trainee who excelled in singing and dancing. She was known for her purity and beauty, and despite lacking strong company backing, she had garnered significant popularity and was poised to debut with the group.

Initially, this was a positive development for Tiansheng Media.

However, trouble arose when Tiansheng decided to promote another artist whose skills were mediocre. Despite the company’s efforts behind the scenes, this artist could not secure a debut spot.

This artist happened to have powerful connections—she was the daughter of President Zhang of Tiansheng, hailing from a wealthy and influential family.

To ensure his daughter’s debut, President Zhang leveraged the production team’s investors to secure a backdoor entry.

Consequently, Miss Zhang displaced the original Tiansheng trainee who was set to debut, and to please the investors, even orchestrated scenarios where the trainee was intimate with them.
