Chapter 317: Urban Card-Drawing System (23)

It is often said that the entertainment industry is the fastest way to make money. After careful consideration, Feng Xuanxuan sought out Yang Kai, who had pursued her in the past but whom she had deemed too ugly and rejected.

Through Yang Kai's connections, she signed with a relatively small entertainment company that had no shareholders other than the boss.

The reason she specifically chose this small, lackluster company—whose signed artists, aside from Han Yu who had gained a bit of fame in the last two years, were either newcomers or bottom-tier performers who had been struggling for years—was simply with the goal of acquiring it once she had money in the future.

Therefore, she didn't look at the contract content carefully at all; it was a standard form contract anyway, and she didn't fuss over the duration, signing for ten years just like other newcomers.

She wasn't worried about resources; didn't she have Yang Kai?

Yang Kai was not only well-acquainted with entertainment company bosses big and small, but he was also an investor in *Idol Creation Camp*, so he could naturally squeeze her into the program.

At the same time, he had invited his childhood friend, the Best Actor Song, to be a guest mentor for the show. As long as the Best Actor Song was willing to help, her standing out in the program and debuting in the center position was a certainty.

Thinking of this, Feng Xuanxuan cast an inscrutable gaze toward Xie Yang, feeling even more urgent about entering the entertainment industry and becoming famous by debuting through the *Idol Creation Camp* program.

But she didn't want Xie Yang to know about her current embarrassment, so she stepped forward with a smile, appearing generous and poised as she said:

"Yang Yang, I didn't expect to run into you here. You didn't sign up for *Idol Creation Camp* too, did you? It seems you have the same idea as me—not wanting to join the family business after graduation and wanting to carve out a career of your own."

Song Yin raised an eyebrow: "Little Yang, do you know her?"

Xie Yang wouldn't give Feng Xuanxuan the chance to use her name to intimidate others, so she said truthfully: "An old classmate, but we don't associate anymore."

Song Yin understood: "That's good. The entertainment industry is a dye vat that doesn't suit you."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone: Best Actor Song, do you know what you are saying?

You have to know, aside from Xie Yang and her group who had just boarded the yacht, who among the others wasn't involved in the entertainment industry?

Not only involved, but they also made their living from this industry!

Yang Kai twitched the corner of his mouth: "Brother Yin, the way you put that, doesn't that include yourself in the insult?"

Song Yin: "I remain untainted despite the filth."

"..."

Have some shame!

Feng Xuanxuan tightened her fists unconsciously, her fresh manicure piercing her palms, hiding the resentment in her eyes.

She hadn't expected Xie Yang to actually know the Best Actor Song.

Not only did she know him, but they looked quite familiar with each other.

Later, she only found out after hearing it from Yang Kai:

It turned out that Xie Yang's father and the Best Actor Song's father were university classmates, and Xie Yang had been invited by the Best Actor Song's father to be a guest and go out to sea.

The Best Actor Song was also entrusted by his father to look after Xie Yang.

He also said that if Xie Yang hadn't come, or hadn't come at this time, the Best Actor Song wouldn't have canceled his flight and switched to taking a yacht to Sanya, and they wouldn't have had the chance to experience this top-tier, world-class luxury yacht that cost 200 million USD.

No wonder the most luxurious room on the yacht was reserved for Xie Yang, the captain and crew were polite to Xie Yang, the catering catered to Xie Yang's tastes, and all the services and entertainment facilities on the yacht were prioritized for Xie Yang's enjoyment...

Clearly on the same yacht, Xie Yang enjoyed the services only the owner of the yacht was qualified to enjoy, while she wasn't even worthy of introducing her own name.

Whether it was ordering food, mixing drinks, or spa services, everything had to be booked under the name of "Yang Kai's companion."

Feng Xuanxuan was absolutely stifled.

Fortunately, they would arrive in Sanya the next morning.

When getting off the yacht, she felt her suppressed confidence returning.

Thinking that she would debut from *Idol Creation Camp*, enter the entertainment industry, and one day shine in the entertainment industry, making Xie Yang look up to her, she couldn't help but feel thrilled.

Thus, she became talkative again:

"Yang Yang, I really envy your leisure. Even after graduation, you're just like when you were a student, playing however you want. Unlike me, sigh, Grandpa insists on giving me tasks, saying he wants to test my entrepreneurial ability so I can take over in the future..."

"By the way, those things you said last time, I thought about it and they really make sense. My major really has nothing to do with home textiles and furnishings, and I wouldn't be able to help much even if I joined the family business. It actually fits the entertainment industry quite well, which is why I asked Brother Kai for help to come to *Idol Creation Camp* to play around and gain some experience for future investments..."

"Speaking of which, why haven't you considered investing in the entertainment industry? Oh, I forgot, you studied archaeology, which is completely unrelated, so you wouldn't have a clue about this industry."

She whispered the last sentence close to Xie Yang, and after finishing, she giggled twice.

Xie Yang wasn't provoked by her; instead, she smiled: "I don't understand the entertainment industry, but do I need to understand what the Party A boss wants? Isn't it enough to just pay? Aren't the rest the obligations of Party B? You suggest I invest in the entertainment industry? Alright then! Anyway, I have more money than I know what to do with..."

"..."

Feng Xuanxuan watched in astonishment as Xie Yang took out her phone before she had even finished speaking, found the "Pay-for-Info Detective Agency," checked the Galaxy Entertainment she had signed with in minutes, and then contacted the boss right in front of her, buying Galaxy Entertainment the moment she opened her mouth.

Boss Li of Galaxy Entertainment had long wanted to offload the company and cash out. He had originally opened this entertainment company to pamper a mistress, but not long after it was established, his "tigress" of a wife found out and came knocking.

His wealth all came from his wife's family. The tigress forced him to break up with the mistress by threatening him with a clean break. That mistress was also tough; after leaving him, she relied on her own strength to break into a talent show, competing on the same stage as Han Yu, and debuted in second place, only a few points lower than Han Yu.

Later, upon learning that Han Yu was an artist at his company, the mistress sought him out again. To help the mistress, he could only sacrifice his own artists.

But somehow, this matter reached the ears of the tigress, and she had recently started auditing his accounts.

Even if Xie Yang hadn't come knocking, he wanted to find someone to sell the company to and cash out, transferring the money to one of his overseas accounts to avoid a real clean break later.

Xie Yang didn't know these sordid details, but even if she did, it had nothing to do with her.

She had commissioned the "Pay-for-Info Detective Agency" to check the company. Aside from poor efficiency, it had been in a state of loss for most of the previous years, and it was only in the two or three years since signing Han Yu that it had shown a slight improvement.

Xie Yang only just learned at this moment that Han Yu was actually an artist signed to Galaxy Entertainment. No wonder Jiani's cousin had once complained about Han Yu's company in such an indescribable way—such a good talent, wasted for three years, and when he held a concert to give back to his fans, he had to find a way to raise the money himself while the company didn't pay a cent but still took a twenty percent cut. Tsk tsk! Even stingier than Grandet.

Xie Yang had originally intended to invest ten or twenty million to become a second shareholder, but she hadn't expected Boss Li to ask for fifty million, wanting to sell the whole thing as a package.

The package price for the entire company was fifty million, and forty-five million of that probably came from Han Yu's value, right?

However, she had spare cash on hand, and being the sole boss was better than being a second shareholder. Since there were no other hidden risks, Xie Yang readily reached a Trading agreement with Boss Li.
