Chapter 261: The Mastermind
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As expected of someone who had dealt with so much public relations, Gu Yu found out the mastermind behind Jing Yao in less than half a day.
Yong Hui Entertainment.
This entertainment company was considered a giant in the industry a few years ago. It had nurtured many first- and second-tier artists, but its operations had been bleak in recent years.
The more popular artists in the company had gotten into trouble one after another and left the industry. The newly signed artists were not particularly outstanding. It was difficult to pull in investments now.
When Shen Yu had just become popular, Yonghui had secretly looked for Shen Yu and offered a lot of money to sign him over.
At that time, Yong Hui was not as desolate as it was today. The contract gave him a lot of benefits, but Shen Yu did not go. After all, he did not lack money. Moreover, Liang Xun had gotten someone to investigate for him at that time.
Yong Hui would privately let artists carry out illegal transactions. Of course, compared to Stardust, Yong Hui was a little better. After all, their transactions were based on both parties’ willingness.
They would not use forceful methods to force you. They would only pull strings for you. As for whether they were willing to “devote themselves” to their acting career in this way, it would depend on their choice.
If they wanted to become popular after entering the company, it was impossible to rely on their own ability. There was only that one shortcut. Many artists stuck to it at first, but seeing that the people around them relied on selling themselves to get an opportunity, it was very difficult for them to stick to it anymore.
At that time, Liang Xun found out about what Yonghui was doing behind the scenes and said to Shen Yu, “If you really want to sign with this company, you don’t have to enter the entertainment industry. Be good and go back to study to inherit the family a.s.sets.”
Naturally, Shen Yu could not sign it. He found a management company that was not very big at that time, but it was not harsh on artists. The compet.i.tion between colleagues was also open and transparent.
In the past two years, as he became popular, more than half of the company’s annual turnover was earned by him, so he had more say now.
The company couldn’t force him to do anything he didn’t want to do, so they basically listened to him. Hence, he continued to stay. He was thinking of going out to work alone one day when he couldn’t stay there anymore.
Although they did not manage to form a collaboration back then, they had been living in harmony for the past few years. They would not step on Shen Yu now.
Moreover, judging from their actions, their goal was to implicate Jing Yao.
“Sister-in-law, did you have a grudge against Yong Hui Entertainment before?” Shen Yu asked Jing Yao.
Jing Yao had a soft pillow at her waist as she leaned against the sofa. She was reading the information sent by Gu Yu with Liang Xun. Hearing this, she frowned and thought for a moment, but she used to be a n.o.body.
There was no conflict of resources with anyone. Yonghui should not have spent so much effort to s.n.a.t.c.h the script roles she had taken in the past from her. Yonghui’s artists…
Jing Yao paused and suddenly thought of someone.
She s.n.a.t.c.hed the doc.u.ments of Yong Hui Entertainment that Liang Xun had printed in the study and bound. She flipped to the pages of Yong Hui Entertainment and quickly browsed through them.
When she reached the middle, she saw a familiar name.
“I think 1 know why.” Jing Yao looked at Shen Yu after saying that, as if Shen Yu was the culprit.
Liang Xun followed Jing Yao’s gaze.
Shen Yu panicked. “No, could it be related to me?”
Zhu Ling stood up and walked over. She took the information from Jing Yao’s hand and locked onto a name at a glance.
She immediately glared at Shen Yu. If her gaze could materialize, Shen Yu would probably have been burned to ashes by now.
Shen Yu’s uneasiness intensified. He hurriedly asked, “Um, tell me what happened first. 1 can explain. I don’t like Yonghui’s style. I’ve always kept a distance from them.”
Liang Xun said calmly, “You don’t have to explain. Just think about whether you want to kneel on the washboard or the keyboard.”
Shen Yu’s heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
“It’s Song Xi again. You’re even more popular than Liang Xun.” Jing Yao suddenly sighed.
Liang Xun’s expression froze. He hurriedly turned around and hugged Jing Yao. He said aggrievedly, “Wifey, you can just scold him. Why are you dragging me into this? When have I ever provoked women? I’m loyal to you. If you don’t believe me, ask Gu Yu. 1 never go to those messy places.”
Jing Yao raised her chin slightly. “Then how do you think we met for the first time?”
Liang Xun thought to himself that he was in trouble and hurriedly clarified, “I really went to discuss business at that time. I swear.”
Jing Yao snorted, and Liang Xun hurriedly coaxed her gently.
After coaxing her, he glared at Shen Yu a few more times.
Shen Yu couldn’t say anything. Ever since that incident last time, Liang Xun had already banned Song Xi completely..

Chapter 262: I’ll Buy It For You
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Song Xi was indeed an artiste of Yong Hui Entertainment, but they thought that Yong Hui should be sensible and would freeze her after knowing who Song Xi had offended.
It was true that Song Xi had not appeared again during this period of time. Who knew that she would appear again?
Liang Xun’s eyes were dark. It seemed like there were some things that could not be held back.
Gu Yu quickly found something else.
“This matter was indeed done by Yong Hui Entertainment. They bought a big drama this time and are preparing to use Song Xi as the female lead.”
Liang Xun turned on the speakerphone and everyone present heard Gu Yu’s words.
Zhu Ling did not understand Yonghui’s actions. “It’s said that a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Yonghui is such a big entertainment company, but they can’t even find an artist who can be the female lead?”
Gu Yu continued to reply in a business-like tone, “Yonghui used all their company’s artists for this drama. They don’t have that much money to film such a big script. It was Song Xi who pulled in the biggest investment for them. The investors specified that they wanted her to be the female lead. As for the trending topic, it was also Song Xi who asked the company to do it.”
Shen Yu clicked his tongue. “Yonghui must be crazy about going bankrupt. Who in Bi City doesn’t know my Sister-in-law’s ident.i.ty?”
“Which company invested in them?” Liang Xun quickly grasped the key.
Song Xi was so bold because she had someone backing her up. She was
