She knew that the core of this family was profit-driven, and her father was willing to let her take over the company's affairs because she could bring huge profits to the company every year.

She had calculated in private that the profits generated by the deals she negotiated each year were twice that of Lin Simo's.

But in the annual reports, Lin Simo's data always looked better than hers, so logically, Lin Simo's position should have been hers.

The fact that the data was tampered with reveals Lin Qiu's true intentions; the only successor he favors is Lin Simo.

"But how are we going to tell Luoluo about this?"

Luo Luo? Lin Jiayue suddenly realized that it seemed her parents had known about this person for a long time.

Seeing the surprised expressions on her siblings' faces, she knew they, like herself, didn't know much.

This is not surprising, as she and her older brother are busy with company matters every day.

Lin Hongxi didn't like anything related to the entertainment industry when he was in school.

Although his second brother, Lin Gaomin, is a movie star in the entertainment industry, he only worked non-stop for three months. He went on vacation a few days ago and hasn't been paying attention to news from China.

As for Lin Jiayue, she wasn't sure whether she genuinely didn't know or was pretending not to.

As for when the parents found out?

Today, they recognized the girl named Luoluo at a glance, and even knew her name.

“I want to meet Luoluo. She’s our family’s child and she’s still in the entertainment industry. Our family has resources, so she can avoid a lot of detours in the future.”

Lin Qiu said, his expression seemingly carrying a hint of anticipation.

Lin Jiayue remained silent. She knew where her father's expectations came from: Lin Zhiluo's husband was Qi Zhiyang. If she were to return now and attach herself to the Qi family, it would be beneficial to their family's development.

Ultimately, self-interest outweighed family ties.

She absolutely hated this family.

Lin Gaomin noticed that the Luo Luo his father mentioned was in the entertainment industry: "Dad, the Luo Luo you mentioned is in the entertainment industry, what's her name?"

"Lin Zhiluo!" Lin Qiu looked at his second son and suddenly remembered, "You're also in the entertainment industry, and Luoluo is your sister. Why don't you find a way to get her to sign with your studio? With you protecting her, she won't suffer any losses in the future."

Lin Jiayue scoffed: That sounds nice, but signing with Lin Gaomin's studio is tantamount to handing over your lifeline to Lin Qiu.

In the future, if Lin Qiu wants Lin Zhiluo to do anything for him, and Lin Zhiluo refuses or makes excuses, Lin Qiu can have Lin Gaomin stop Lin Zhiluo's work. He can also hire online trolls to spread rumors about Lin Zhiluo, leaving her isolated and helpless in the entertainment industry, and even causing her to lose her job, leaving her only able to rely on her family and be controlled by him.

It seems like he's doing this for Lin Zhiluo's own good, but it's actually a preparation to better manipulate Lin Zhiluo in the future and use her to gain benefits for him.

She knows these things because that's how she went through it.

Although she was the daughter of the Lin family, she was never mistreated materially.

But the father preferred the older and younger brothers.

Her mother favored her older brother and younger sister, and no one liked her. If it weren't for her sensitivity to numbers and her exceptional talent in finance, she would be the least noticeable person in the family.

After graduating, she received a spot to study abroad, and those years studying overseas were probably the most comfortable time of her life.

After returning to China, she refused her father's idea of ​​working for the Lin Group, wanting to rely on her own efforts.

Just when she was about to achieve success, her company ran into trouble. Her secretary was Lin Qiu's man, and her project brought Lin Qiu a huge amount of money, which made him rival his uncle's family.

Her company was slandered because of Lin Sheng's remarks, leaving her isolated and helpless in the industry.

Lin Qiu even threatened her with the reputation of her former business partners.

Therefore, while the Lin Group creates its own value, she mostly just plays around with it casually; what truly motivates her is her own company.

Fortunately, her friends didn't misunderstand her. They kept in touch privately afterward, and she provided the funds and resources to act as a behind-the-scenes boss, while her friends handled the rest.

Lin Qiu was too arrogant. She was extremely careful and wouldn't give Lin Qiu a chance to discover her mistake.

After returning to the Lin family business, she learned about many high-quality business partners, and asked her friends to make contact with those who hadn't yet reached an agreement.

Over the past few years, her company has grown to a size beyond what it was before.

She had mentally calculated that if she waited another five years, her company would be on par with the Lin family, and with a little more effort, she could surpass them. That would be the time when she would truly be free.

"It seems like Dad's variety show can't air anymore. The production team can't find Lin Zhiluo. Should I help you contact Lin Zhiluo?"

He just took a look around and found that Lin Zhiluo is a streamer who rose to prominence while he was away from the country.

He felt a bit disgusted. She was just a pseudo-scientific streamer, pretending to be a ghost, and she was not respectable at all. He couldn't even imagine how he would introduce this girl to everyone when he got home.

But seeing how her parents looked, as if they were really looking forward to her return, he didn't want to spoil their fun at this time.

"Then you should contact her and tell Lin Zhiluo that we want to see her. I think she also wants to go back to the Lin family." Lin Qiu was certain that Lin Zhiluo couldn't bear to give up such wealth.

Lin Gaomin immediately went to inquire about Lin Zhiluo with his agent. His father was right; it would be best if she signed with his studio. If she continued to do such disreputable fortune-telling, she should just give up being an artist.

"What?" Not long after, Lin Gaomin's surprised voice came from the side, and everyone stopped talking and looked at him.

Lin Gaomin said with a wry smile, "Dad, Lin Zhiluo can't sign with my studio anymore. She's an artist with Fanxing Entertainment, and she has her own studio there. I heard the benefits are pretty good."

That's Starry Sky Entertainment Company. If Peking University and Tsinghua University are the dream universities for many students, then Starry Sky Entertainment Company is the Peking University and Tsinghua University for many artists in the entertainment industry.

"There's no rush. Once Lin Zhiluo returns to the Lin family, I'll have her terminate her contract with Fanxing Entertainment and sign with your studio instead," Lin Qiu said confidently.

Lin Gaomin nodded, feeling jealous of the younger sister he had only met once. Why was she allowed to work at Fanxing Entertainment?

He feels very stifled in his current entertainment company, which is full of his father's people. He can't do this or that, and he's always been controlled by his father.

If Star Entertainment had wanted him back then, his father wouldn't have been able to get involved in the Star Entertainment industry at all, and he wouldn't be subject to the current restrictions on whatever he wanted to do.

However, the signing process for artists by Fanxing Entertainment involves rounds of screening, and he failed at the very first step because he knew nothing back then, was still a spoiled young master, and didn't have the acting skills he has now.
