Protagonist:

Shen Yao

In a small courtyard built by the water in a southern water town, a pretty girl wore a speechless expression.

"System, what on earth is going on?"

Why wasn't she first returned to the System Space, but instead directly deployed to a new mission site?

Had she not been certain she had breathed her last the previous second, Shen Yao would have suspected her memory had gone wrong.

"Host, this is a mistake, a mistake," the System hurriedly blurted out, then stammered an apology, explaining its problem.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao looked at the spacious space and the storage bags, more numerous than before. "There is no spiritual energy here, and the storage bags simply cannot be opened." She could only rely on those spirit herbs she had placed alone in the space.

The System hurriedly made up for its mistake, not forgetting to compensate Shen Yao with a generous reward.

"Without spiritual energy, the System can help the Host complete it. This mission world has a modern society background. I believe the Host can handle it."

The System was multitasking. It truly did not know where the problem lay. Could it be that its previous careless transaction with other Systems caused its program to be invaded by an unknown virus, resulting in bugs in the System tasks?

After hurriedly comforting the Host, the System buried itself in searching for its own problem.

"Host, these are the original owner's memories, along with some permissions temporarily opened for you," the System explained, then vanished with a whoosh.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao's expression was hard to describe. She hadn't expected this veteran System to make mistakes, but looking at that pile of glittering rewards and the permissions already transferred to her, well, this matter was acceptable.

Anyway, the mission had to be done sooner or later; there was no escaping it.

Besides, Shen Yao had long wanted to see how many artificial intelligences the System had. Now, well, hehehe, she wouldn't let it go to waste.

Shen Yao, just eighteen years old, father Shen Jinshan, mother Huo Lan. The family had some property. No grandparents above, younger siblings below. Currently, because she wanted to participate in a variety show and had conflicts with her family, she ran directly to a small water town in the south to hide and seek quiet, thereby forcing her family to lower their heads and let her participate in the variety show.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao flipped through the few memories of this body and felt a headache.

Tsk tsk tsk

Dropped out of high school, did not take the college entrance exam (with such terrible grades she couldn't get in even if she took it), a short life with no highlights, single-mindedly wanting to become an idol star.

When she realized the System was temporarily unreliable, Shen Yao frowned, first swallowed a few pills, then picked up the phone in her hand and dialed directly.

Participating in the variety show with hardship and suffering might not even work. Why was she being so desperate?

After a few beeps of the phone ringing, a somewhat tired female voice came from the other end.

"Mom, I was wrong to be willful," Shen Yao admitted her mistake straightforwardly, then, amid Huo Lan's stunned expression, said she would not participate in the variety show; she would take the college entrance exam.

Huo Lan:... Crazy

Shen Yao didn't care what Huo Lan thought. Anyway, she was unwilling to run off to some closed training camp to participate in a messy variety show and suffer hardship.

Besides, becoming a star was the original owner's wish, not her idea.

This wasn't a vow-fulfilling System; it didn't require Shen Yao to sacrifice anything for it.

Propping her chin with one hand, Shen Yao looked up at the misty sky.

It was already mid-spring, and school had been in session for a few days. Given the original owner's not-so-smart brain and her mind filled only with wanting to be an idol star, expecting her to make a comeback to Tsinghua and Peking University was a fool's dream.

However, the body had changed owners. Shen Yao calmly pinched her wrist. Perhaps living a different way wouldn't be bad either.

She packed her luggage, booked a plane ticket, and returned to the relatively prosperous Jiang City.

Shen Yao looked at Huo Lan coming to pick her up, smiling and waving her hand.

"You girl, I thought you really wanted to participate in some variety show. The Chen family's daughter next door became famous because the family spent a lot of money, and even now she's still being half-black, half-red, dragged along by the brokerage company. You..."

Huo Lan was a professional woman, a strong woman in the workplace, running a beauty chain store under her. The scale wasn't large, but her assets easily broke a hundred million.

However, Huo Lan's career paled in comparison to Shen Yao's biological father, Qin Zi.

Because Shen Jinshan was in real estate, relying on his daring and gambling in previous years, his net worth was far more than Huo Lan's by several times, but correspondingly, his debts were also proportional to his net worth.

After all, it was real estate. Without carrying debts to discuss business, one had no face.

Listening to Huo Lan chatter on endlessly, Shen Yao's expression remained unchanged until the mother and daughter got into the car. Only then did Huo Lan turn to look at her daughter, whose temperament had changed greatly. "Have you truly come to your senses, or do you have other plans?"

Her own daughter was originally someone with firm ideas, and from childhood she had probably been spoiled terribly, getting whatever she wanted. Shen Yao had never suffered any setbacks at all.

Participating in the variety show this time was essentially not because Shen Jinshan and Huo Lan felt sorry for their daughter suffering hardship, but merely considering the complexity of the family business and the entertainment industry, they didn't want things to become troublesome.

The example of the Chen family next door that Huo Lan mentioned was just an excuse they used to refute Shen Yao. Who let the Chen family, because their daughter entered the entertainment industry and was heavily scrutinized by netizens, have their past shady deeds magnified and attacked, thereby affecting the money going into their pockets?

So, some things cannot be seen too clearly, otherwise there is no fun.

"Mom, I do have other plans. It's not that I want to learn from Chen Qing to earn some pocket money. Everyone knows the money in the entertainment industry is easy to earn."

Those fans who spend thousands of gold for their idols are indeed powerful.

Shen Yao spoke half-truthfully. Anyway, she wasn't participating in the variety show now, so whatever excuse she made could be justified.

Huo Lan looked up at the window outside. "The money in the entertainment industry is easy to earn, but Chen Qing, that girl, has also been scolded terribly. And the Chen family's business—the money Chen Qing earns isn't even a fraction of what the Chen family lost."

It's simply nonsense. Young people think too simply. Although Huo Lan didn't understand the entertainment industry, she understood the mall. All sorts of underhanded tricks and dirty moves are used. For a big business like Shen Jinshan's, there are many people secretly eyeing it with envy.

"Mom, so I plan not to earn it myself. I want others to earn it for me."

Shen Yao smiled and said her idea. She wanted to enter the entertainment industry, but not as an actor; rather, as behind-the-scenes capital.

Working for others is not comfortable at all. Better to have others work for me.

Huo Lan:...

Huo Lan looked at her daughter. "What do you want to do? The family has no connections in the entertainment industry."

Shen Jinshan and Huo Lan's work differs from the entertainment industry by ten thousand eight thousand li.

Shen Yao looked innocent, "Mom, you work in the beauty industry."

Beauty, those are essential maintenance items for stars, after all most people in the circle rely on their faces to eat.

"Our family takes the ordinary mass route," the beauty industry also has levels, Huo Lan's business is entirely aimed at ordinary people, those beauty clubs stars go to are not places like hers.

"Mom, after I get into university, lend me those two beauty salons in Jing Shi to practice, proceed with normal cooperation, won't let you lose out."

Shen Yao spoke shockingly and wouldn't rest until she did, not at all afraid Huo Lan wouldn't agree, one sentence one thunderbolt, directly blasted Huo Lan dizzy.

Huo Lan:...

Huo Lan didn't expect her own daughter to be so unrestrained, speaking and acting with one thing after another.

Unsure whether this was true or false, Huo Lan simply didn't respond, just let the driver send her back.

Because Shen Yao returned relatively early, there was no one else at home besides the nanny.

After sending the luggage back to the room, Shen Yao moved her wrists, planning her next steps.

Dong dong dong—

The room door was knocked, Huo Lan changed into a set of clothes, and asked again about Shen Yao's previous matter of going to school.

"Mom, directly enter senior year three, and help me spend money to hire several tutors."

Shen Yao had transmigrated through so many worlds, she had opportunities to attend university before, but had little experience attending high school and taking the college entrance exam, and besides so much time had passed, the knowledge she should forget was forgotten cleanly.

Rather than waiting for an unrealistic cheat, better to directly spend money to smash through.

And her request wasn't difficult, as long as she could get into Jing Shi Key University's Management Department, her basic goal she set would count as achieved.

Huo Lan made an "en" sound, "Go to school early tomorrow morning, I'll help you contact tutors on my end."

"Since you want to take the college entrance exam, study well, there are only a few months left."

As for the two beauty stores in Jing Shi, Huo Lan promised that if Shen Yao got into a university in Jing Shi, she would directly hand them over to her to manage.

Of course, handing them over to Shen Yao to manage doesn't mean she can have full decision-making power.

In other words, if Shen Yao really runs these two beauty stores into closing, that can only prove Shen Yao isn't suitable to take over the family business, she should honestly take dividends and get married.

Shen Yao lay on the bed and slept, when she opened her eyes again the sky had already darkened.

Her younger brother Shen Rui and younger sister Shen Xin who were in middle school had already returned, but because junior high third year was busy and academic pressure wasn't small, Huo Lan also planned to hire several tutors for them, possibly also inspired by Shen Yao.

"Big Sister" "Big Sister"

The two little ones looked white and clean, they were twins, similar in appearance.

They obediently greeted Shen Yao, their eyes rolling around.

Shen Xin looked surprised, wasn't Big Sister wanting to participate in the Imperial Selection and have conflicts with her parents not living at home? How did she suddenly come back.

Shen Rui didn't pay much attention to these things, but he was also curious that Big Sister came back.

After all Shen Yao's original temper was to come and go as she pleased, no one could hold her back.

Shen Yao didn't explain, only asked how their homework was, junior high third year students had great pressure, even if the family had money they still had to compete fiercely.

Shen Rui and Shen Xin studied well, but could only be said to be average.

The three sat on the sofa and chatted simply, waiting for Shen Jinshan to come home, the family of five sat down to eat.

Huo Lan had already called Shen Jinshan about Shen Yao's matter.

Shen Jinshan only made an "en" sound to show he knew, but at the dinner table he still praised Shen Yao for turning back from the wrong path, older people didn't understand the entertainment industry, naturally feeling this circle wasn't friendly.

Shen Jinshan only said he had several friends who invested in film and TV dramas all ended in losses, "The water here is too deep, ordinary people can't handle it."

And projects were built up with exaggerated claims, but after broadcasting they caused a bunch of problems, better than him spending time honestly building houses, at least houses were real, placed there he could see them.

Shen Jinshan's idea was exactly the idea of those big shots who started from real industry.

The entertainment industry indeed made money, especially in recent years TV dramas and movies were broadcast, earning quite a lot, just dividends were enough to make people envious.

But this bowl of rice wasn't something everyone could eat, anyway Shen Jinshan only saw negative influences, so saying this was also to remind Shen Yao not to get too carried away, a young person just eighteen years old, couldn't recklessly use family money to cause trouble (although the pocket money given to Shen Yao by the family wasn't considered much).

"Dad, rest assured, I'll take the college entrance exam first," afterwards there were other ideas.

Besides, from what she understood from her memory, many TV dramas and movies she had watched could be taken out for various reference.

Making money, no nonsense.

Satisfiedly finishing dinner, Shen Yao hurried back to her room and opened the computer.

Using the browser to browse information on the internet, especially recently popular male and female actors, including but not limited to several famous film and television companies.

Shen Yao carefully checked through, recording all the good news.

What is this? This is connections, although she hadn't officially entered this circle yet, opportunities were left for those who were prepared.

Shen Yao's goal in this life was still to make money and enjoy, and although real industry was good now, the money earned couldn't compare to the entertainment industry's lavish spending.

Shen Yao felt she relied on her own ability, not saying she could completely make it in the entertainment industry, but earning some small money she was confident, then slowly step by step, also counting as walking on a road completely different from before.

Hualalala—

The signature pen in her hand kept moving, one by one beautiful fonts appeared on the notebook.

By her ear scattered hair fell, dyeing Shen Yao's beautiful eyebrows and eyes, under the lamp light appearing beautiful and harmonious.

Shen Yao's life after returning was very relaxed, besides going to school and tutoring.

It proved that even someone who had done missions couldn't handle knowledge from books.

Too long ago not to mention, some still needed patience to pick up again.

Shen Yao:...

If not knowing she had to take the college entrance exam, Shen Yao probably would have planned to directly start a business.

Resignedly lowering her head to study, while not forgetting to completely absorb and make her own use of what the tutors taught, busy for a little over a month, the grades that couldn't be raised finally had obvious changes.

Huo Lan saw her daughter's changes, considered believing her daughter's determination, it seemed this time she wasn't playing around, but really wanted to improve.

Not bad, not bad.

Huo Lan turned her head and shared this good news with Shen Jinshan.

Shen Jinshan was middle-aged; looking at his usually unreliable eldest daughter finally having a bit of a normal appearance, he sighed that they had been firm in stopping her back then, nearly letting their daughter have her way and run off to participate in some Imperial Selection.

"Yao Yao isn't someone who doesn't know her place; this time as long as she studies hard and gets into university, whether it's a school in Jing Shi or not, I'll give her two beauty salons to practice with," after speaking, Huo Lan looked at her husband, signaling whether he should also chip in, her own mother was already putting money out.

Shen Jinshan:...

The name Shen Jinshan represented the Shen Family elders' earnest expectations for him, after all Shen Jinshan also had a younger brother named Shen Yinshan, fully embodying their old Shen family's beautiful wishes.

"Fine, give her a sum of money, let her practice with it; anyway it will have to be given sooner or later."
