She was sitting on the sofa on the second floor of the villa analyzing some information when the housekeeper came upstairs.
“Miss, you have a call from a Mr. Xiu.”
Jiang Shining’s temples throb whenever she heard the word “Xiu”.
“Hang up. I won’t answer again.” She continued to look through the information.
The butler fell silent for a moment.
“That Mr. Xiu said that if you don’t accept it, it means you’re afraid of him. He’s here to issue a challenge.”
Jiang Shining angrily slammed the computer shut. Even provocation was being mixed in?
She was in a very bad mood. But she went downstairs and picked up the phone that was half-hidden on the side.
“Chu Haoli, if you got my phone number by illegal means, I will call the police.”
“Jiang Shining, is the only thing you’ve learned since coming to the New Era to call the police?” Xiu Lingfei’s voice came over. “You live in the villa complex that my Longteng Tianxia developed. Even the property management is handled by my company.”
“…” She will go sell the house tomorrow.
“Jiang Shining, what I said before still counts. For the sake of our past friendship, I’m willing to help you in the new world,” Xiu Lingfei said, “but you won’t appreciate it, so I won’t wait for your refusal. I was once an emperor, and I’m still a big boss with a lot of things to do. If you refuse our past friendship, then we must settle old scores. I’ll retaliate against you in return.”
“I’m really scared to death.” Jiang Shining sneered, “In the past, I wasn’t afraid when you could kill me at any time. Now, why would I be afraid of a few simple threats from you?”
“This isn’t just a threat.” Xiu Lingfei’s voice deepened. “For a woman like you, life and death aren’t a threat. The prouder you are, the more I want to defeat you. I want you to understand, to admit that you’re not as good as I am.”
“This challenge is good.” Jiang Shining said casually.
“Open your phone and go to social media,” Xiu Lingfei said. “Do you know which one?”
“Chu Haoli, I’m not from ancient times!”
Jiang Shining hung up the phone and logged onto an app called Weibo. The top trending search was: [Revelation! Tianxia Longteng Group has officially entered the entertainment industry! Interested in acquiring xx, xx, and xx Entertainment Companies, negotiations are ongoing…]
The comments under it were all like “Dad is here to save the entertainment industry!”, “The little brother with good ball skills is here to suck it!”, “Please dad, ban xxx!”, “Please Longteng dad, sign my yyy, have pity on the child.”
The Weibo post posted half an hour ago had already received over 100,000 retweets and 30,000 comments.
Jiang Shining quietly logged into the Ninglu Media account, which was practically freezing cold. Besides posting some hard-edged commercials or Weibo posts about signed, less-than-famous artists, which would get a thousand retweets at best, at worst, they’d only get ten or fewer, and not even a single comment. Of course, it was also the official account’s fault for being so dull and stilted.
Not to mention calling dad, no one even came to call mom, sister, brother or sister.
The road to success was long and arduous. She had initially not chosen a large company to save trouble, but who would have thought that this would force her to experience the pseudo-self-made storyline.
Jiang Shining read more than ten books on management and the entertainment industry and bought more than a dozen books on the entertainment industry. She had to study them before turning things around.
The next day at breakfast, the housekeeper slowly served Jiang Shining the food while saying, “Miss, I received a call from the company this morning.”
“Why aren’t they calling me?” Jiang Shining was very surprised.
“Because you were unwilling to take care of the company’s affairs before.”
Oh, yes, there was this setting. It seems the robot inserted a plot point to force this entertainment company on Jiang Shining, who didn’t want to start a company at the time. A year had passed since Jiang Shining came to this world, and she was only twenty-four. This company definitely wasn’t hers.
According to the setting, this was also arranged by the wealthy old man who gave her the inheritance, hoping that she would use it as a platform to develop her own career. However, Jiang Shining was too young and rebellious, and simply did not want to be in charge, so she never officially took over.
Hmm… OK, it looks like the robot has seen a lot.
“What’s wrong?”
The butler was silent for a moment.
“The most popular artist in your company wants to switch to another company, Tianxia Longteng. He said his new company will help pay for his liquidated damages.”
Jiang Shining: …
Chu Haoli was truly worthy of his name. His petty, vindictive nature was the same as when he was emperor. If you don’t accept his charity, he’ll start a company across industries to disgust you and even poach your artists.
Jiang Shining took out her phone. As someone in the entertainment industry, she had the robots save a bunch of random numbers in her phone. She picked one and called.
“Hello, is this the Sun Entertainment News?” Jiang Shining said expressionlessly, “I have a piece of information about the Third Young Master of Tianxia Longteng. Do you want it? Yes, Xiu Jingrui and a female artist who’s about to make a comeback. … I don’t want any compensation, I just want them to be on the headlines.”
Xiu Lingfei wouldn’t have necessarily not thought of this; he might have even installed software beforehand. But the entertainment reporters wouldn’t stop digging for information just because of this. They were all hiding nearby, laying in ambush. Three days later, as soon as Xiu Jingrui was released, even with his face covered, he was photographed countless times by the paparazzi and entertainment reporters. Jiang Shining also took a photo of the blurred police report and gave it to the reporters.
In Longteng’s office, Xiu Lingfei’s face darkened as he looked at the newspapers and various gossip sites.
Jiang Shining was still the petty-minded Jiang Shining, but this time his son was of poor quality and was just letting his father down.
He’ll be given a good beating when he gets out.
The author has something to say:
Jiang Shining: At least in this world I am a normal female supporting role and don’t have to be a mother
Fans: Mom! Please be nicer to my son and give him more resources, okay?
Jiang Shining: ?????

Given that it is labeled as a cool article, the heroine’s turnaround is expected to be very fast_
