Chapter 59 Setting the Pace



These trolls were extremely scheming. Yin Chengjue paid attention and asked his assistant Guan to investigate. They discovered that the Chang family was involved.

No, to be precise, this was Chang Yue's doing.

Yin Chengjue frowned, recalling how he was blind in his previous life, not only being cuckolded but also betrayed by his best friend. When the Yin family was at its lowest point, his friend took advantage of his misfortune.

At that time, Yin Chengjue regarded Chang Yue as a confidant because the other party had a similar background and circumstances to him. When Yin Chengjue looked at Chang Yue, he felt like he was looking at himself, and thus assumed that the other party had the same mindset as him.

However, people's hearts are unpredictable, and he was too naive back then.

Sitting in the spacious leather sofa, Yin Chengjue rested his chin on his hand, flipping through the materials that Assistant Guan had prepared, and his thoughts gradually became clearer.

Things that I couldn't understand in my past life have become clear and understandable.

Chang Yue is a master of the entertainment industry, with many tricks up his sleeve, and has hooked up with countless celebrities. Now that I think about it carefully, it's likely that Chang Yue had already hooked up with Ming Qian a long time ago. It's just that Yin Chengjue naively thought that Ming Qian was a pure and innocent girl who would shyly refuse even a simple handshake.

Yin Chengjue thought Ming Qian was deeply in love with her illegitimate son Feng Changheng, but he never expected that Ming Qian would be able to hook up with Chang Yue just because of a small talent show debut spot.

Chang Yue's decision to have Yu undergo plastic surgery was likely influenced by Ming Qian's influence.

“In recent years, the Chang family has begun to shift its financial focus to new technologies, and its previous real estate investments have been decreasing year by year. It is predicted that they want to catch up with the Murong family and take the high-tech industry route. Country C is also paying great attention to this aspect now, and provides certain subsidies to every company involved, aiming to catch up with Country A as quickly as possible,” Assistant Guan said from the side.

Yin Chengjue certainly knew the direction of the Chang family over the next ten years, because in his previous life he had helped the Chang family during its corporate transformation.

Transforming a company is not an easy task. Without sufficient capital and technological investment, it is easy to cause stock price volatility. The Chang family in the previous generation inevitably faced this situation as well.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Yin Chengjue hadn't helped the Chang family back then, their transformation would not have been so smooth, and they might even have faced failure.

However, his generous help was met with betrayal and kicking him when he was down, a real-life version of the farmer and the snake.

“We’ve already issued Rong Yu’s contract statement. Since Chang Yue still wants to challenge me, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Yin Chengjue put down the documents and said, “I remember the Yin family is still ordering R-type drives from the Chang family, right? What was the penalty for breach of contract stipulated in the original contract?”

Assistant Guan looked somewhat surprised: "President Yin, is it necessary to go this far? That order is long-term, and the penalty for breach of contract is not small."

It's not just not small, it's a number that makes people's hearts skip a beat. It's simply not worth it for a new artist who has only recently signed a contract, and those in power wouldn't allow it.

Yin Chengjue glanced at Assistant Guan speechlessly: "Do you think I look like such an impulsive person?"

Assistant Guan: "..." Doesn't it seem like it? Then why are you asking about this?

Yin Chengjue interlaced his fingers, a faint smile on his face: "I just want to see how much compensation we can get if they are the first to breach the contract."

Assistant Guan was taken aback and said, "This... Mr. Yin, what do you mean?"

Yin Chengjue's lips curled into a cold smile. "If the R-type drive they provide has serious quality problems, that would be a breach of contract. There aren't many companies or factories on the market that can provide this kind of R-type drive. The Murong family is the leader. If we can negotiate with the Murong family, what chance will the Chang family have?"

"But how easy is it to make connections with the Murong family? Besides, wouldn't the Yin family's management let go of the Chang family so easily?" Assistant Guan couldn't help but ask.

He was arranged by Yin He to assist Yin Chengjue, but in addition to handling some matters related to Huansheng Entertainment as an assistant, Assistant Guan also had knowledge of other industries that the Yin family was involved in and could offer his own unique insights.

Yin Chengjue understood Assistant Guan's concerns, but with the blessing of rebirth, he was well aware that Chang's R-type drive would have serious quality problems due to internal shoddy workmanship, which would lead to a series of safety issues.

In his past life, Yin Chengjue helped Chang Yue, enabling them to overcome this quality inspection hurdle.

This time, Yin Chengjue has no intention of helping this venomous snake again.

Let them fend for themselves. He can just sit here and collect the breach of contract fees from the Chang family.

Moreover, Chang Yue has already presented the reasons why he should stand idly by. At that time, Yin Chengjue only needs to put this matter in front of the Chang family and let them see Chang Yue's record of causing trouble everywhere in order to please the person in front of him.

Sally, as expected of a top agent, knew that such slander would be very detrimental to Rong Yu's development. So, after announcing that Rong Yu had signed with Huansheng, she immediately posted a warning to those who were still recklessly throwing mud at her.

The popularity of the premiere of "Don't Look Back When It Gets Dark" soared amidst the clashes between haters and fans, and quickly attracted a large number of curious passersby to watch.

Soon after, the conversation between Yin Chengjue and Liu Qingling on the bus to the filming location was screenshotted by most people.

That part perfectly explains why Rong Yu was able to participate in this variety show—because he was a relatively unknown celebrity with low pay, and since it was a program invested in by his own company, he received zero pay during the trial period. Only after the trial period, when an investor was willing to sponsor him, could he receive a paycheck.

As for those young masters, they were just there to have fun and take photos for free.

Therefore, among the nine players, only Liu Qingling and Yang Ji are the highest-ranking and were actually paid to participate in the filming.

Rose-flavored ice cream V: I just want to ask those people who say Rong Yu hooked up with a sugar daddy, doesn't your face hurt? Doesn't it hurt?

Milk Chocolate: Do you know what a pilot episode means? It means that once it airs, if no investors are willing to sponsor it, the show will stop filming. This variety show is currently in the trial phase and may be discontinued at any time, so they certainly don't dare to spend too much money to invite guests. To those who say that Rong Yu got on the show by relying on a sugar daddy, I want to ask, before the show airs, who knows if it will be good or not?

Any one of those young masters could easily be used to launch a better, more eye-catching variety show, so why bother coming to a new variety show that might be canceled at any time?

Nana Lulu V: I totally agree with the comment above. I feel that this time the handsome guy was being attacked in a very nonsensical way, as if it was just an attempt to attack him for the sake of attacking him.

Donut V: If you click into every Weibo post that's smearing this handsome guy, five out of ten are fake accounts, and the other five are Mingqian's fan accounts. Think about it! Think about it carefully!

@浅浅明月光V replied to @甜甜圈: Please be beautiful, I'm taking my Qianqian away, no dates, thank you!

Donut V replied to @浅浅明月光: Now you know how to be unique? Where were you when you were criticizing other artists? The internet remembers!

Recently, Ming Qian and Fei Zhengqi have been paired up as a couple, and their fans have been arguing a lot, making it to the trending topics in various ways. As a result, the die-hard fans of both sides are basically on Weibo every day, ready to deal with negative trending topics at any time.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Mingqian, but some of Mingqian's fans, while watching the drama online, also hurled insults and stirred up trouble recklessly under Rongyu's negative trending topics, without even bothering to change their accounts. This is how the "fish-fragrant shredded pork" fans caught them red-handed.

During the show where the two debuted, their fans had some disputes and harbored resentment. However, the fans of Yu Xiang Rou Si were more easygoing and didn't bother to argue with the fans of Qian Sha.

However, being Buddhist-like doesn't mean being without weakness or powerlessness, letting yourself be beaten. Now, Mingqian's fans are deliberately stirring up trouble under Rongyu's negative trending topics. It's no wonder that Yu Xiang Rou Si (a popular online personality) can't tolerate this!

The two fan groups inevitably started fighting, and the battle escalated.

Yin Chengjue had witnessed the fighting prowess of Yu Xiang Rou Si and Qian Sha in his previous life and was already used to it. Yu Xiang Rou Si and his ilk were adept at veiled sarcasm and open mockery; without a certain level of intelligence and comprehension, one really couldn't understand the deeper meaning behind their words. Qian Sha and her ilk, on the other hand, were masters of playing the victim. Regardless of whether they were the ones who initially caused the incident, they could always find a way to play the victim from various angles, as if they were a group of helpless and pitiful people.

When these two groups clash, the scene is truly...

Yin Chengjue silently took out a bag of melon seeds.

Guan's assistant, who had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines, was speechless.

Assistant Guan said, "President Yin, aren't you going to help Rong Yu's fans? After all, she's an artist we signed."

Yin Chengjue waved his hand: "Let them make a fuss. Mingqian is in the wrong. Making a big fuss will only benefit us. My brother's debut team probably won't get involved in this for the sake of the show's popularity."

Guan's assistant understood that since the show hadn't finished airing yet, the more the fans of the two trainees jumped, the more people would see it.

Mingqian's PR team isn't very good at managing her public relations, causing her to be constantly trending on social media, which has led to visual fatigue among many casual viewers. In addition, Mingqian always appears with other celebrities, which raises suspicions of her trying to ride on their coattails, upsetting many celebrity fans. Now, whenever people see Mingqian, they naturally side with Rongyu.

“This level of popularity alone is far from enough; he needs to produce some truly outstanding works.” Yin Chengjue murmured to himself, “He needs to find more scripts to look at.”

"Assistant Guan." Yin Chengjue suddenly remembered something and said to Assistant Guan, who was standing to the side, "How many original works has the company signed recently? Bring them all to me to see."

Assistant Guan: "Yes."
