Gu Yang wasn’t particularly interested in the dirt on Tiansheng Media, but she knew her father, Gu Zhaoming, would be.
After annexing Huanyu Entertainment, Gu Zhaoming had been expanding and developing his company. It was inevitable that he would clash with Tiansheng and Ruihua, two established entertainment companies.
Both Tiansheng and Ruihua had their headquarters in the capital, while Zhaofeng Entertainment had been developing in Jin City and was now also expanding in the capital.
Tiansheng and Ruihua were making things difficult for Gu Zhaoming.
It was common for such companies to dig up dirt on each other.
As long as Gu Zhaoming stayed within the law, Gu Yang fully supported his career.
Gu Yang unblocked Yan Xi and replied to her.
[Let’s arrange a time and place to meet.]
Gu Yang didn’t promise anything yet; she needed to meet Yan Xi in person first.
At Capital Drama University.
The girl group talent show Yan Xi participated in wasn’t streamed live every day but only for a few days each week.
For the participating trainees, there was plenty of downtime.
Apart from being in the production team, Yan Xi mainly stayed at Capital Drama University or Tiansheng Media.
After the incident at the restaurant, her manager scolded her over the phone. However, seeing her excellent singing and dancing results on the show, along with her high popularity and votes, he softened and persuaded her with sweet words.
Having gained entry into the academy, she had some acting skills and played along with him.
Yan Xi had been a trainee at Tiansheng for eight years and had heard many unsettling things since childhood.
She was just an ordinary person without a strong sense of justice. Her primary goal was to live well with her family and lead a good life. Becoming a big star to make her adoptive father proud and to make those who abandoned her regret it was an added bonus.
She couldn’t afford to confront the company and kept those dark secrets to herself.
Initially, she had aimed to survive the next two years and leave the company. Her plan was to attend the Capital Film Academy to hone her acting skills and sign with a better company in the future.
However, Tiansheng Media continued to exert pressure on her.
Since she wasn’t having a good time, they shouldn’t expect her to either.
On that day, when the wealthy man Fu Mingxiu offered her five million yuan to buy her freedom from the entertainment industry, she was tempted. It seemed like a stroke of luck.
She knew well enough that as a trainee yet to debut, she wasn’t worth five million yuan at all.
If she accepted Fu Mingxiu’s offer, she could regain her freedom and return to singing in nightclubs to earn money, just like before.
Yet, she felt a twinge of indignation.
What right did she have to give up her dream of acting at Capital Drama University in exchange for freedom?
Wasn’t she supposed to be free to pursue her own ambitions?
Why should she let Tiansheng Media off so easily and allow them to profit from a five million yuan settlement without paying for the harm they had caused her?
Filled with indignation, she wanted to use whatever little power she had, like a moth to a flame, to make Tiansheng Media feel the consequences.
While Yan Xi pretended to cooperate with her manager and secretly gathered evidence within the company, she also devised two plans.
Plan 1 involved collaborating with Gu Yang and Zhaofeng Entertainment.
When her manager instructed her to mimic Gu Yang, he also had her watch the variety show in which Gu Yang had appeared.
From what she gathered, Gu Yang appeared to be someone with a strong sense of justice.
Such a person could potentially collaborate with her without deceit. In fact, she might even receive assistance out of compassion.
Moreover, Zhaofeng Entertainment was expanding and frequently clashed with Tiansheng Media. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
