Main Character:

Shen Yao

Shen Yao came to film a program; even though the trip was only two days and one night, it let her see what species diversity meant.

There were even several instances of open tearing and secret stepping on, including but not limited to companions tearing at each other, and others sniping with yin-yang strangeness.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao packed the luggage she had brought, clutching a phone with a webpage open in her hand.

The hot search list hung a red hot term with the word "explosion" written on it; clicking the term led to a public account that vaguely leaked the latest news.

"Could these news have been leaked by people from the variety show crew?"

Shen Yao touched her chin; last night's chaos was known to quite a few insiders, making it hard to find the culprit.

"Not necessarily; it could be a thief shouting 'catch the thief,'" Lu Xian, as someone who personally experienced last night's events, put it bluntly, "Chen Qing's development is better than Wang Chengdong's, and Deng Jia is Wang Chengdong's agent." Setting aside that Deng Jia truly likes Wang Chengdong, they are still a community of interests with a team to support.

"Wang Chengdong's development isn't going well; I heard that after his contract expires, Yao Yang Film and Television won't renew it."

Yao Yang Film and Television is Wang Chengdong's brokerage company; the company isn't small, and it has quite a few idol stars more popular than Wang Chengdong.

Wang Chengdong has been with this company since entering the industry; when the matter with Chen Qing blew up back then, if Deng Jia weren't the niece of a high-level executive at the company, Wang Chengdong would probably have been kicked out.

But Deng Jia is no longer what she used to be; that high-level executive doesn't particularly like this somewhat love-brained cheap niece of his, and the meaning about not renewing the contract upon expiration was vaguely hinted by that high-level executive; otherwise, just based on connections, Yao Yang Film and Television supporting several more Wang Chengdongs wouldn't be a problem.

"They want to renew the contract, but they want to make a splash even more;" regardless of whether the splash is good or bad, as long as there are ripples, it's right.

"It seems that's the plan; Deng Jia is helping Wang Chengdong find roles and hire water armies, wanting to make a fuss using Chen Qing's nomination for the Qianhua Award."

Lu Xian placed his hand between his brows; the expression on his face looked somewhat tired.

Unlike Shen Yao who could leave today, Lu Xian still had to stay here for two more nights; but after all, he was just an edge person who came to make up the numbers, and after this recording ended, there was nothing else afterward.

Shen Yao shook her head and tossed this matter to the back of her mind; she had no friendship with Wang Chengdong, nor was she very familiar with Chen Qing, who was nominated for the Qianhua Award.

She only took what Lu Xian said as gossip; after leaving the villa and returning to the company, Shen Yao quickly entered work mode.

After completing the accumulated work content and blacklisting several unsuitable actors in her heart, Shen Yao instructed Ma Qingjian to have someone send her the edited clips of this variety show when he had time.

According to Lu Xian, this variety show will be broadcast after the New Year, just right before and after two newly released dramas; at that time, they can ride the platform's promotion wave, and it shouldn't be wasted.

The weather got colder and colder; in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, the north wind blowing in their faces made Shen Yao's whole face hurt.

The New Year was coming soon.

Shen Yao had long arranged for Shen Jinshan, Huo Lan, and several others to enter Jing Shi.

Planet Film and Television also gave holidays in advance; except for truly busy staff, everyone else enjoyed benefits that could be called the best.

But this money thrown out was just a drop in the bucket; Shen Yao had already achieved financial freedom by filming dramas long ago, and if her ambition weren't currently focused on growing the company, she could just take the money and leave carefree.

"Hello"

"I'm downstairs"

Lu Xian's voice came from the phone, also reminding Shen Yao that she couldn't rest today.

Shen Yao put on her off-white coat unhurriedly, wrapped a thick scarf around herself to block the wind, grabbed her bag and went downstairs, walking quickly a few steps to get into the car waiting at the doorway.

The air conditioner was on in the car, and the temperature was already set; Lu Xian handed her the breakfast he bought and explained in words the hotel they were going to.

Shen Yao leaned against the seat, listless; the rustling plastic sound was the breakfast bag being opened.

Shen Yao broke off half and handed it to Lu Xian's mouth, then put the remaining half into her own mouth to chew.

"Why so early today? I thought the wine party would be in the afternoon."

Approaching the end of the year, various wine parties unsurprisingly increased.

Last year, Shen Yao suffered quite a few secret losses because of wine parties; this year she was somewhat stronger than last year, but she still didn't suffer less resentment.

At any time, people will envy colleagues who live better than themselves.

Shen Yao was the one being envied; although she was no longer bullied, she couldn't change the rules of the Entertainment Industry.

Just like today's early morning wine party, it was organized by a senior Big Shot from Jing Shi; no one cared whether you could adapt to this kind of situation; anyway, once the invitation was sent out, you had to obediently run over.

Shen Yao finished the breakfast in her hand and touched her flat belly, "Should we spend money to buy some quiet this time?"

The purpose of inviting her went without saying; it was aimed at the money on Planet Film and Television's Family Assets.

"Are you willing to spend it?"

Lu Xian turned his head and smiled; his clear, moist pupils made Shen Yao's heart soften for a moment.

"Reluctant" but there was no way; that person had some background and wasn't easy to offend. Shen Yao pursed her lips, clutching her phone, and the hands wanting to cause trouble were itching to move.

Lu Xian hurriedly reached out to press down Shen Yao's small Claw, "Can't do it; if you're dug out, they'll have an even more legitimate reason to make a move."

Lu Xian had heard of the things Shen Yao had done before, and seeing the situation this time, he hurried to stop her.

"The rules of the Circle; you can't offend them," because it hadn't yet reached the point of mutually dealing fatal blows, otherwise the entire Entertainment Industry would surely explode.

Shen Yao had a face full of Sorrow, looking at Lu Xian's pretty face with extreme annoyance.

Lu Xian thought for a moment and mentioned that they could change methods, directly pulling the person into the game through filming a drama, just like how he was pulled into the group back then.

Shen Yao disagreed; how could it be the same? Lu Xian was different from others.

"And among the scripts I currently have, there isn't one that's particularly outstanding; with pearls and jade already in front, I'm afraid they won't be willing."

Just like splitting money equally; previously it could be divided into eight pieces, but later only four pieces remained; those who got four pieces would definitely be unhappy.

They wouldn't reflect that getting four pieces for nothing was already a lot; they would only think that not getting eight pieces must be someone else's fault.

"There is that possibility;" Planet Film and Television has now become a legend in the industry.

The dramas they film all make money, and even the invested external dramas have great potential. They eagerly hope to board Planet Film and Television's Ship to earn big money.

The two discussed it in the car all the way, but in the end Shen Yao still decided to settle it with money.

Giving money was the simplest and most direct way, and it wouldn't get her entangled with the other party in anything; she'd just arrange it like this for now.

But this wasn't a long-term solution; these people were greedy by nature and couldn't change, so Shen Yao still had to deal with them once and for all.

The black sedan soon arrived at the hotel entrance, and the two got out of the car and went in one after the other.

Compared to the cold outside on the street, the inside of the hotel was warm as spring.

"Little Shen, Little Lu, you've arrived."

The middle-aged man, acting as the host, wore a suit and held a wine glass, smiling warmly as he greeted Shen Yao and Lu Xian, speaking with great intimacy.

Who would have thought that this person had only met Shen Yao three times (counting this one), yet actually needed Shen Yao to pay money to buy peace and quiet.

"Little Lu, accomplished at a young age; I heard Old Kong speak of your abilities before, truly impressive."

The middle-aged man spoke with the posture of an elder praising a junior, but in fact, this man was barely forty, and his age difference with Lu Xian wasn't even as great as Shen Yao's.

The two chatted with the middle-aged man for a while, and seeing that people kept looking over, they tacitly turned and left, giving others enough time to socialize.

Some avoided them like the plague, but others couldn't wait to rush over and hug his thigh; the middle-aged man was extraordinarily wealthy and generous, and a casual word from him could help someone secure decent resources.

Shen Yao held her wine glass and kept her distance from him, not forgetting to survey her surroundings.

Then she realized something was off, and called out to the system to ask if this place wasn't a drug den.

System:...

"Host, why would you think that?" The system exclaimed that the host was thinking too much; this was a wine party.

Shen Yao lowered her head to look at the wine glass in her hand, using the corner of her eye to keep watch on every corner.

The system replied, "Those people are all the ones you and I have talked about; the things they did when they went abroad are beyond description, and they even held those huge orgies overseas."

"They're back? How did they get involved with the domestic entertainment industry?"

The system's gossip wasn't limited to the domestic entertainment industry; as long as it was entertaining, it liked to watch.

Just like the people at the wine party, the system could recognize few of them, but Shen Yao had a good memory; whatever the system had said, she remembered.

This time, inspiration struck, and she caught the awkwardness within the wine party.

Turning around, looking at the middle-aged man chatting and laughing with others, Shen Yao suddenly smiled, "I was still thinking about paying money to buy peace and quiet, but now it seems unnecessary."

Isn't this ready-made leverage? Leak the news to the anti-drug police, and naturally someone will deal with these people.

Drugs are a red line; domestically, no matter who it is, no one can easily touch them.

The method Shen Yao had thought of before was the entertainment industry's usual exposé attack, but now looking at the demons and monsters gathered at the wine party, cutting off the source was still the most suitable.

Taking advantage of attending the wine party, Shen Yao had the system take several high-definition photos for her.

Afterward, Shen Yao and Lu Xian left first on the excuse that they had something to do.

Such behavior naturally earned the displeasure of the wine party's host.

But considering Shen Yao had already paid tribute (handed over money), the other party said nothing, only complained a couple of times about not knowing a good thing, then continued playing music and dancing.

And Shen Yao, who had left, was also very happy; she looked at the photos the system had taken, all high-definition uncoded treasures; with this, she believed these people wouldn't be able to run away.

"System, keep a close watch on them; notify me promptly if there's any movement."

Shen Yao intended to be a good citizen; things like drugs, once touched, there was no turning back, and people in the entertainment industry made the most money; real gold and silver flowing into this market was tacit approval of the drug industry chain.

"Alright, Host," the system agreed, then scanned the surroundings like radar, ensuring no gossip would be missed.

Who doesn't like listening to gossip? What an interesting activity this is.

The system listened to gossip until it was obsessed, and the whole system was a bit abnormal.

But Shen Yao wouldn't care too much about this; anyway, besides her, no one else knew about the system, and it was better for it to find some fun than to keep watching her; Shen Yao thought about this matter very openly.

When the two got home it was still before noon, so they simply ate at a small shop downstairs.

"The food at the wine party was good, but unfortunately not to my appetite," Shen Yao shook her head, eating a bite of rice and a bite of dish with satisfaction.

Her taste buds soothed, Shen Yao rested her chin on her hand and looked at Lu Xian sitting across from her, "Every New Year, you attend all sorts of wine parties like this?"

In Shen Yao's first year she wasn't well received; in her second year and this year she belonged to the circle's new rich, and year-end socializing gradually increased.

Lu Xian nodded, "Once a year, not going wouldn't be good."

His skill in investing in films let Lu Xian live comfortably, but also limited his activities in the circle.

After finishing the food in his hand, Lu Xian took out a tissue and wiped the corner of his mouth, "My parents will come in two days; do you want to meet them?"

Lu Xian and Shen Yao had confirmed their boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but because Shen Jinshan and Huo Lan's side hadn't formally met Lu Xian yet, Shen Yao hadn't dealt with Lu Xian's parents.

Before, it was because they had been dating for too short a time, and Shen Yao felt she needed to be reserved; later, both sides simply had no free time, dragging it until now, New Year, and not meeting again seemed a bit unjustifiable.

"If Uncle and Auntie have time, I'll treat them to a simple meal."

This also counted as a kind of meeting the parents; they definitely needed each family's nod.

"What about your side, did Uncle and Auntie say when they're coming?"

Lu Xian also wanted to meet Shen Yao's parents, especially since Shen Jinshan and Huo Lan's first impression of him wasn't good; he needed to turn this situation around as soon as possible.

"New Year comes and goes in a hurry; matters at home and at the company can't be delayed."

Shen Jinshan and Huo Lan came on New Year's Day itself, then stayed for two days before rushing back.

If it weren't that Shen Yao really couldn't get away here, she would be the one flying back.

"By then you and I will go to the airport to pick them up," Shen Yao thought about the two of them.

The New Year time was too rushed, no time to wait for Lu Xian to visit.

Simply meet first at the airport, then on the way back home have a simple meal.

In Shen Yao's heart, as long as Lu Xian could satisfy her, it was fine; Shen Jinshan and Huo Lan didn't live with Lu Xian, so they didn't have too many standards.

It was also that Shen Jinshan and Huo Lan couldn't hear what their own daughter was thinking; otherwise the two of them would probably have to have a good talk with their daughter.

Time passed quickly; on New Year's Day, Shen Yao and Lu Xian went to the airport to pick them up early in the morning.

Compared to Shen Yao's simple attire, Lu Xian dressed very respectably.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao thinks it's a bit too formal; they're just coming over to pick him up at the airport.

Lu Xian touched his styled hair, saying that since this is his first formal meeting, he must make his uncle and aunt feel his importance.

Fine, it's not that serious; Shen Yao let go and let Lu Xian do as he pleased.

Who knew this person could really climb up the pole; upon seeing Shen Jinshan and Huo Lan, he spoke sweetly to them, and Shen Yao's pair of younger siblings also enjoyed Lu Xian's meticulous care.

After everyone went home to eat, Lu Xian further unleashed his tactful qualities, coaxing Shen Jinshan and Huo Lan, who should have kept straight faces, into smiling broadly.

Shen Yao:... I've learned something new
