Chapter 172: Lin Siya Job-Hopping

Translator: Zayn_

[Gu Xingchen: It’s already good enough that cat and dog factions can get along harmoniously. By the way, @SongQingyou, my dog is cuter than your cat.]

There were also nine photos of the golden retriever below the post.

The impression that Gu Xingchen gave to the outside world had always been gentle and polite.

Even his fans didn’t know that he had such a “primary school student” side.

However, this Weibo post was enough to prove that his relationship with Song Qingyou was really good.

At the same time, it also showed that the two of them were just friends and had no ambiguous relationship.

As for Song Qingyou’s reply, she didn’t say a single word and posted a dozen photos of Zhizhi under Gu Xingchen’s Weibo.

It was obvious that she was emphasizing that her cat was cuter!

After that, the two of them kept posting photos of their own pets, neither of them willing to give in.

The surrounding fans were rendered speechless.

[ Stop posting! 1 believe you two aren’t flirting, and Song Qingyou isn’t creating hype! Because both of you look only three years old…]

[ Xingchen usually doesn’t interact much with people who use him to create hype, so 1 also believe that Sister Qingyou didn’t do that.]

[ I’m done for. I didn’t want to them to be a couple, but now that they’re interacting, 1 feel like I was worried about a CP of primary school kids. This is ridiculous.]

[ I have a feeling that Xingchen might be infected by Sister Qingyou and turn his Weibo into a dog’s diary…]

[ It’s better than stars not posting on Weibo for a week. All the best, Sister Qingyou!] Zhizhi is so cute! Send more to stimulate someone who doesn’t post on Weibo!]

The public opinion had reversed so quickly. It had to be said that Gu Xingchen’s influence was huge. It was real.

During this period, the storm caused by the fake data of Chang1 an Elegance had not subsided.

However, the post that took a long time to be removed on all major social media platforms had provided sufficient evidence.

Many believed that soon, someone from the production team of Changan Elegance would be charged with disrupting the market order and cheating consumers.

This person might be the director of the crew or the producer, but it would definitely not be Shen Xiyan.

Even so, Shen Xiyan could only behave herself with her tail between her legs.

All the major social media companies, as well as the Shen family, had been investigating the poster’s information recently, but they had not found any clues.

Shen Xiyan insisted that this hacker was related to Song Qingyou and tried her best to get the technical department of the Shen Corporation to investigate.

The others didn’t think so.

Because Song Qingyou was an orphan, her circle of friends wasn’t big. All her money was spent on Shengshi Entertainment and her father’s treatment. She didn’t have the ability to bribe hackers.

In their opinion, the person who did this was most likely someone in the same industry.

And Song Qingyou was just a lucky person.

With the news of fake data and sensationalized scandals, the viewership ratings and views of The Empress rose like sesame seeds blooming.

Not to mention, after Changan Elegance faced the risk of being taken off the shelves, those television stations were eager to buy dramas to fill the gap. They would definitely be willing to buy the broadcasting rights of The Empress at a high price.

Under such circumstances, as long as The Empress didn’t fall behind in the subsequent plots and became a classic hit like The Immortal Demon, Song Qingyou should be able to get ten times the profits very soon.

At this critical juncture, something big happened in the industry.

It was also related to Song Qingyou.

That was the matter of Lin Siya jumping ship to Shengshi Entertainment.

While the discussion about The Empress was in full swing, Jinling Media announced that their contract with Lin Siya had expired and would not be renewed.

Everyone thought that Lin Siya would either open her own studio, sign with Time Media, or sign with Yinghua Entertainment, the industry-leading company that Gu Xingchen was in.

Unexpectedly, she posted on Weibo not long after:

[Lin Siya: @Song Qingyou @Shengshi Entertainment, I’ll be in your care.]

It was obvious that she wanted to sign a contract with Shengshi Entertainment.

No one could understand, including her fans. They all felt that Lin Siya was too irrational.

Even if the second-ranked top celebrity was already forty years old and her acting career was limited, it did not mean that she had to enter a small company!

Wasn’t this just wronging herself?

When the media released the relevant news, they all speculated that Lin Siya and Song Qingyou might have hit it off at first sight. In addition, Lin Siya had the idea of retiring, so she hit it off with Song Qingyou and joined Shengshi.

Lin Siya and Song Qingyou didn’t bother explaining.

However, Lin Siya joining Shengshi was beyond Song Qingyou’s expectations.

As the pillar of Yinghua Entertainment, Gu Xingchen had brought along countless newcomers in the company.

Now that Lin Siya had come to Shengshi, the benefits for Song Qingyou were huge.

With the thought of returning the favor, Song Qingyou began to recall the script of a workplace drama she had written in the world of screenwriters, and she was prepared to let Lin Siya play the female lead.

Lin Siya, like many other female stars, had started out by acting in idol dramas.

However, she was no longer suitable for idol dramas at her age. According to the usual route, she might only be a supporting role for a young actor.

That was why Song Qingyou thought of urban workplace dramas.

With the addition of several trending searches, the viewership ratings of The Empress were at its peak.

Shengshi Entertainment would soon turn losses into profits.

Industry investors were envious of Song Qingyou’s luck. A few people had already contacted Chen Lan, saying that if Shengshi Entertainment produced a new TV series, they could consider investing in them.

With the idea of having more friends, Song Qingyou wrote down their contact information one by one.

Chen Lan was happy. “We might be able to try a big production TV series next time. If we can get funding, we can even recruit a batch of new people.”

“I can consider hiring new people,” Song Qingyou raised her eyebrows. “But I’m afraid I can’t make a big production.”

Once she started something, she had to do it well until the end. It was the same with starting a company.

After recruiting a group of amateurs and nurturing them, the entertainment company would no longer be a small business. It would only serve her, Xu Xingzhou, and a few others.

“If we can get investors, why not?” Chen Lan was puzzled.

“Sister Lan, do you really think that these people are here for my good luck?”

“Isn’t that so? I think a lot of people in the industry are saying the same thing.”

“These people care more about money than superstition,” Song Qingyou scoffed.

“A small part of what they’re interested in is my luck, and most of it is the gambling agreement I signed with Liying Venture Capital!”

Who wouldn’t like a person who dared to sign a gambling agreement with ten times the profits and promised to compensate the investor for all the losses if they lost money?

After hearing Song Qingyou’s explanation, Chen Lan understood.

“Then we really can’t reach out to these people.”

“In comparison, Liying Venture Capital is more reliable.”

“Why would Sister Lan think that Liying is better?” Song Qingyou looked up.

“Because-”

Mr. Jiang was behind Liying Venture Capital!

Chen Lan almost blurted out what she was thinking. Fortunately, she changed her mind in time. “1 believe they have seen your potential.”

Song Qingyou nodded and didn’t comment.

In fact, she didn’t trust anyone and felt that it was better to rely on herself.

However, Jiang Zhihan was rich enough. He didn’t need to lie to her for a few million dollars. He was the best choice among all the investors she could get in touch with..
