Unlike Chen Shi, who worked hard on his own, Mu Lengshan is the result of a business alliance between two leading companies in S City.
As an only child, Mu Lengshan grew up in luxury. After her parents passed away unexpectedly, she became the person in charge of the group.
The Mu family owns numerous companies, and its entertainment business is also a leader in the S industry. Its subsidiary, "Starry Sky Entertainment," is undoubtedly the industry leader.
The "Cool Sail Culture" that Shen Shi works for doesn't have the same resources or branding as its competitors, and the gap between the two has always been quite obvious.
However, as Shen Shi entered the entertainment industry and became the top star of Cool Sail, his fame surpassed that of Licheng in Xingkong. Cool Sail Culture was beginning to show signs of overtaking the leader.
The executives at Starry Sky Entertainment were extremely anxious, holding daily meetings to discuss how to smear Chen Shi.
These people had no idea that their boss was a loyal fan of Shen Shi.
Upon learning of the company's senior management's underhanded tactics, Mu Lengshan flew into a rage and immediately convened an emergency meeting, announcing in front of all senior executives that all plans targeting Shen Shi were to be halted.
This decision was like a bombshell, causing an uproar in the meeting room.
The higher-ups expressed their incomprehension and opposition, after all, in their eyes, Shen Shi was from a competing company and had to be suppressed.
"President Mu, we can't be soft on our enemies!"
The one who spoke was a long-time employee of Mu Shan's. He had worked at Mu's company since Mu Shan was born, following in her grandfather's footsteps, and held a high position of prestige within the company.
She often takes advantage of her age and seniority, and doesn't take Mu Lengshan, this young girl, seriously.
Faced with the employees' protests, Mu Lengshan calmly said, "What we at Starry Sky Entertainment should do is improve our own strength, not resort to such underhanded methods. If you continue to pull these dirty tricks behind my back, don't blame me for being impolite."
Although he was speaking to everyone, his sharp gaze remained fixed on Li Jie.
Although Mu Lengshan was young, he was swift and decisive, dismissing many veterans as soon as he took office.
Judging from her current attitude, everyone in the office dared not breathe, silently sensing the icy atmosphere around them.
While the employees were being cautious, Li Jie remained stubborn and immediately retorted in front of everyone.
"You're wrong about that. Competition between companies is a matter of life and death. Coolfan is using the same methods, so why should we give in?"
Unfazed by his fatherly demeanor, he even lectured his superior.
Mu Lengshan had long disliked this stubborn old man, and now was the perfect opportunity.
"Anyone who thinks I'm wrong is not suitable to work at Mu's. Submit your resignation to my desk tomorrow," she said to Li Jie, raising an eyebrow.
Li Jie, who had been speaking righteously, suddenly panicked. He had only said a few words; was it really necessary to fire him?
But Mu Lengshan didn't care about his reaction, and left after saying that.
As Mu Lengshan left the conference room, Shen Shi's handsome face kept flashing through her mind.
After finding her headphones and putting them on, she turned on her music player and listened to Chen Shi's songs again.
The familiar melody poured out, instantly comforting my previously bad mood.
Mu Lengshan was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and she could easily get whatever she wanted.
Extreme material satisfaction has made Mu Lengshan aloof and almost devoid of material desires.
While girls her age were fond of dolls, she was learning from her grandfather; while girls her age were dating, she was already gaining experience in a company.
"A young girl like you, spending all your time reading business books, without even having anything she likes, what a boring life!" This was what Mu's mother often said to her before she passed away.
She hoped her daughter could have an easier time, but the passing of her husband and wife made Mu Lengshan's burden even heavier.
Managing a large company is an extremely demanding task.
Even Mu Lengshan, because of his young age, was outwardly obeyed but inwardly defied by his subordinates.
But in less than a month, Mu Lengshan used swift and decisive methods to teach him how to do things.
Because of her excessive cleaning, Mu Lengshan had a very bad reputation, and her subordinates nicknamed her "the female demon".
But Mu Lengshan didn't care about any of that. As long as the underlings didn't say anything in front of her, they could say whatever they wanted in private.
But if that gets overheard, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Mu Lengshan was even glad that she had no hobbies, because in her eyes, hobbies represented weaknesses, and having no hobbies meant having no weaknesses.
Mu Lengshan never imagined that she, who considered herself invincible, would soon encounter an accident.
The exception is when the sunk period occurs.
Three months ago, when I first heard his voice, Mu Lengshan was deeply captivated by his calm, cool, and charming singing voice.
Like a teenage girl obsessed with a celebrity, Mu Lengshan began frantically searching for news about Shen Shi.
By then, Shen Shicai had already become incredibly popular, and the amount of material about him online was so much that it couldn't fit on two hard drives.
Mu Lengshan, who always pursues efficiency, didn't mind wasting time at all and spent a whole month watching all of Chen Shi's videos.
While replenishing materials, Mu Lengshan became increasingly fascinated by Chen Shi.
Such a handsome person, and with a voice as beautiful as a fairy, how come he's not from her company?
Mu Lengshan, who had access to numerous resources, even considered poaching Shen Shi and showering him with resources.
But after much deliberation, Mu Lengshan gave up.
Deep down, she was still afraid—afraid of losing control, yet also deeply fascinated by its uncertainty.
To her surprise, her own company's employees hired online trolls to smear Shen Shi and spread fabricated rumors without her permission.
She admires Shen Shi for working her way up to her current position through her own efforts, so how could she tolerate her subordinates maliciously slandering her?
After firing the employees, Mu Lengshan still felt it wasn't enough.
She decided to do something to make up for the losses incurred during the crisis.
Upon hearing that Shen Shi was competing with an artist from her company for the same variety show, Mu Lengshan decisively arranged other work for that person.
Shen Shi obtained a spot as a regular guest on a popular variety show without any effort.
Mu Lengshan's unusual behavior quickly became known to everyone.
Instead of promoting their own artists, they turned around and showed goodwill to artists from rival companies, which has become a topic of discussion in the industry.
They wondered if Mu Lengshan was going to dig up the sunken area.
Meanwhile, Shen Shi also learned about this.
Why would the president of "Starry Sky Entertainment" help him?
Shen Shi was filled with doubt and curiosity about Mu Lengshan, whom he had never met before.
At this point, Shen Shi had grown tired of singing and dancing and longed to move towards the big screen.
Making a movie was a major obstacle for him, as his organization, "Cool Sail Culture".
The film industry is an extremely closed circle; you can't get ahead in it without connections.
However, what Cool Sail Culture lacks most is connections. The company is keen on cultivating idols and has little involvement in the entertainment industry.
Even if they have resources, they're just minor players.
