Chapter 296: Project

Speaking of which, Zheng Yuerong was simply unlucky. She went in that morning. Before going in, she kept dodging and weaving, her mind entirely focused on avoiding the paparazzi, and completely failed to notice anything unusual on this side.

For some reason, she and Qi Yinghao were playing the "Sun Promise" gag in broad daylight. The two of them had notified the property management staff here to clear the area.

No sooner had he notified them than the property staff were reassigned away. Afterward, the person arranged to go knock on doors and notify people at his place was a simpleton whose first reaction upon hearing commotion in the courtyard was "catch the thief"!

Between the two "thieves," Qi Yinghao could still stay calm, but Zheng Yuerong let out a scream that drew the attention of the people outside.

This matter could still have been glossed over—a female scream didn't reveal the timbre of the voice clearly.

But that simpleton was Zheng Yuerong's fan. When she and Qi Yinghao went to check and were about to leave, he was standing guard over there and took the initiative to ask Qi Yinghao why he wasn't checking together with Zheng Yuerong—couples and married couples could go into another room, which would be faster. When curious bystanders asked what was going on, that simpleton blurted out what had happened in the courtyard.

【The fan who discovered Zheng Yuerong and Qi Yinghao's relationship must have had their heart shattered, right? This was a natural smear—as if they were afraid others wouldn't find out about Zheng Yuerong and Qi Yinghao's romance! Zheng Yuerong must hate him to death!】

Su Yu could tell from the forum that most fans were very agitated. Their love for Zheng Yuerong was genuine—grab a handful and you'd find plenty who had spent tens of thousands chasing their idol. Now they were all posting photos and renouncing their fandom.

Without this group of fans, Zheng Yuerong would absolutely be no match for Ji Xiaoling. Moreover, her run as a traffic flower was coming to an end!

【She was about to get a position soon—the list was already finalized, just not yet publicly announced!】

Wulongcha had found out. She could soon enter an official team.

Su Yu kept scrolling through the forum, pressing the buttons on her calculator with a rapid "da-da-da."

【Looking at the amounts in these photos makes me want to enter the entertainment industry too. Our project will make a big profit, right?】

Wulongcha thought so. 【You count as a traffic draw now, and the environment over there is genuinely good. With some promotion when the time comes, there shouldn't be any problems.】

Wulongcha had filtered through online comments and specifically read the impressions of the girls who had moved into Yan Le Yuan. Most of the girls who posted on social platforms said that it truly was a paradise over there!

【Everyone really likes it there!】

Following Wulongcha's suggestion, Su Yu filtered out those girls' comments and walked over holding her phone to look at them together with Ji Yan.

"Mommy, look, they really like it there!"

Ji Yan pulled Su Yu into her arms and looked carefully.

【IHaveABearSoICantBeNoob: It's really so freeing over here! It's all girls, so wandering around the community in pajamas without a bra on comes with zero pressure!】

【NaiveYoureNotNaive: I can't praise the soundproofing here enough! Outside it occasionally still sounds noisy, but inside it's genuinely so quiet!】

【MoneyComeMoneyComeFromAllDirections: Good thing I'm not dumb, or I would've missed out!】

【HRIsVeryIdle: Looking forward to the head office moving over to this side. I hope Little General Manager Su makes a bit more money—such a wonderful place needs to keep running!】

……

"Mommy, look, they all really like it!"

"Mm, when do you plan to start the music party? Do you want to do a trial run for a period first, like the rentals over there?"

Su Yu shook her head. "Probably not. Let's wait until the occupancy rate is higher before starting. I want the residents to vote!"

Su Yu's music party would invite girls who could sing to the community via a public platform to participate in an online concert.

Residents would have voting rights every day. They would choose their favorite song. For the song with the most votes, Su Yu would offer a fixed licensing fee or a performance fee. If the singer agreed to the former, that song would be played at the community's music fountain. If the singer agreed to the latter, she would likewise invite the singer to perform once at the music fountain.

If a high-voting contestant didn't want to stay, the slot would pass to the next in line. If the next person's votes were below thirty percent of the total votes, then that day's slot would be canceled, the votes would be returned to the residents, and songs left by previous singers would play on loop that day.

In principle, the participants of the online concert would be different every day. If anyone participated a second time, the song they performed had to be different from the first time!

"Have you discussed it with Hua Jing Entertainment? The music party could also serve as a way to scout talented singers."

Since Su Yu was already livestreaming, she would make the most of the traffic. Her music party could become a stage for grassroots contestants to showcase themselves.

"I told them, but they're not optimistic about it."

Wang Jun De was very enthusiastic, but the director he sent over had an attitude like they were humoring a child—just looking at it made you angry.

"My dad's judgment is just bad. Look at the person he chose—really quite impolite."

【If she genuinely thought this plan wouldn't work and was a waste of manpower and resources, and she had laid out the facts, reasoned through it, and then refused me, I could still think more highly of her, reflect on the loopholes in my plan, and consider whether this music party really was unfeasible.

But no—she just had to put on that act of going 'yes yes yes' to whatever you say, knowing full well that none of us in this family are people who can't take suggestions. On the surface she was flattering and humoring us, but in reality, isn't that attitude a form of disdain?】

Su Yu had been full of anger right after meeting that person.

"If this project succeeds, I don't want to negotiate cooperation with that person. Mommy, why don't you become the person at Hua Jing Entertainment specifically managing this area? You can work from the community or online!"

Both of those places were very safe!

Su Yu knew that even though the family was working hard to develop new platforms, in the eyes of the general public, "internet celebrities" on new media could never compare to those singers who appeared on TV programs. Ji Yan's long-term exposure on new media was invisibly diminishing her star status.

Fans who liked Ji Yan wouldn't care, but there would still be gossip within the industry. Su Yu didn't want her mommy to be wronged!

Ji Yan transitioning from singer to management would carry entirely different significance!

"Mommy doesn't need to become management at Hua Jing Entertainment—we can create our own studio!"

"Okay! Okay! Let's ask Uncle for the materials, and Mommy can create a studio! Mommy, you could also add acting, dancing, and so on—we still have lots of projects!"

Su Yu planned to build a small-scale entertainment industry platform. Su Xi had already helped Su Yu get in touch with several universities. If the quality of the publicly invited contestants wasn't up to standard, they would invite university students to be the initial batch of contestants.

"Mm, when your uncle gets home, I'll ask him for materials and personnel."

Su Yi had already come home. He stood to the side listening and said sourly, "Wife, why don't you ask me? I have a lot of materials over here too, and plenty of personnel—you can use them anytime!"

"You have a lot of things to keep you busy, and you're already short on personnel. Quite a few people at Su Clan are fairly idle—transferring some over won't affect the company's normal operations."

Su Yi's moment of being touched didn't last long before his daughter's inner voice had him stamping his feet in anger.

Thanks, darlings, for the votes~
