"Sunny Day's Livestream, viewer number: 25, Followers: 123, Likes: 35, Donation: 6." 
On screen, a sweet-looking young girl was singing. She occasionally scratched her face. Her singing was nothing to cry about but she had youth and energy on her side. Whenever there was a donation, the girl would stop to thank them personally before continuing with the song. She only live streamed at night. This was a new career move for her and it had been going on for only a week and her highest viewer number so far was around 50 concurrent viewers. 
"It's 12 already. My dear oppas, the livestream will end here for today, I'll see you all tomorrow. Again, thank you for Mr. Chilli's donation! Bye bye, good night!" The sweet girl smiled and stood up. The video froze. After the viewers greeted her good night, the number dropped drastically. Tian Yi sighed and scratched her face. She grabbed her phone to check her income for the night… After the cut taken by the platform, she would earn 15 RMB. 
"O well." She told herself, "It's better than nothing." Sitting in front of the camera, she created the illusion that she was living in a girly-decorated bedroom; but beyond the camera, this was actually a cramped living studio. With only one room and attached toilet, it cost her 300 RMB per month for rental. As mentioned earlier, she just started trying out livestreaming. The 300 RMB could be considered her investment. She doubted having the hostel she previously shared with the other factory workers as the background would earn her any views. 
Tian Yi needed to get up early to go to work tomorrow morning. She set the alarm to ring at 6. 30 am and then hurried to use the bathroom. She just celebrated her 18th birthday this month but she dropped out from school 2 years ago. This was not uncommon for children from the countryside, education was simply not that valued. She left her hometown last year to move to this seaside town along the eastern coast. She found a job working at a jewelry factory and earned 2000 RMB per month. The small town was spared by the legionella pneumonia. The factory closed for several days before it opened for business again. However, for safety precaution, every worker was required to wear a mask to work. Nonetheless, as time passed, the masks started disappearing. 
Recently, all her colleagues could discuss Phecda, Phecda University, supernatural forces, and Gu Jun… But for Tian Yi, these were so far away from her life that they appeared to be from another world. Instead she was more concerned about her own life, was she going to spend her whole life like that? Working day in and day out at the assembly line, earning the bare minimum wage every month… When she started her job, she was excited whenever she received her salary but half a year later, the excitement had worn off… It was not that the work was particularly taxing but she simply did not feel any satisfaction from her work, she felt like she was wasting her life away. A life like that was not worth it…
Tian Yi wished to leave the assembly line and the company. As a young person, she had many dreams, but there was one that stuck close to her heart. Recently, there was a celebrity who had risen from a similar background as her. 
"The celebrity was previously a factory worker as well! To be honest, I don't think she looks that much prettier than any of us, so why can't we achieve what she has?" 
"I'll let you in on a secret, I heard she got a friend that got famous online from livestreaming. They only needed to go online and sing for a few hours and there'd be several millions in their bank account at the end of the year."
"Several millions?!" Tian Yi could not wrap her head around such an astronomical number. If she could earn ten thousand a year, she would die happy. 'Several millions a year? What kind of concept was that? Celebrity? Livestreaming? I… don't see why I can't do that.' That was the motivation Tian Yi needed to move out from the factory hostel and invested in a set of livestreaming equipment. She wanted to give it a go. The rental's environment was not so good, it was surrounded by other village houses. The sound of children crying, the passing of bicycles and motorcycles, the barking of dogs as well as the crowing of the chickens reared by a local grandma, these noises accompanied her daily life…
Even though her income from her one whole week of livestreaming was less than 100 RMB, when she received her first donation, Tian Yi could not be more excited. She saw hope! Rome was not built in the day, she knew the more popular she got, the larger her income would be. 
Tian Yi used the towel to dry her hair when she felt an itch on her cheeks. Her hand reached up involuntarily to scratch it. Her fingers scratched here and there. She grabbed a mirror to take a look. She noticed her face in the mirror was red from all the scratch marks. "Jesus, I better stop with the scratching." Tian Yi applied some lotion that she splurged on generously on her face. It was just an itchiness, it would go away in the morning. After drying her hair, she dimmed the light and laid down in the pallet pushed to the corner. She grabbed her phone and checked the email again, "Dream Girls, your registration has been accepted!" 
As she re-read the mail, Tian Yi's heart filled with anticipation for her future. Dream Girls was a talent scout competition looking for the next star among young girls all over the country. The goal was to form a girl group from the finalists and launch them into stardom. This kind of show gained enormous popularity over the past few years. As they say, do not place all your eggs in one basket. While focusing on building her livestreaming career, Tian Yi also applied for the more traditional route to stardom. Who knew, maybe she would be lucky. Whenever she felt down, she would read this email and felt energy surge through her. 
"Time to sleep, still gotta work tomorrow." Tian Yi put down the phone and closed her eyes. She still needed to report at the factory tomorrow morning… 
Just as she was about to drift off, the itchiness on her cheeks returned and chased all her drowsiness away. 
"Aiz." Tian Yi sighed helplessly. She tossed and turned before she surrendered and scratched her face again. 'It's not some kind of allergy, is it?' It would cost to visit the doctor… thankfully, she felt better after some scratching. She was tired from a whole day of working, so eventually she dropped off to sleep. Even in the state of somnolence, her hands moved to scratch her cheeks… 
She did not realize that until the itchiness became so pronounced that it woke her up. 
"Ah…" Tian Yi scratched heavily and it eased her annoyance somewhat. However, the itchiness worsened to become a burning sensation and she could feel slight swelling on her cheeks. That woke her up instantly…
'Could it be smallpox?' The thought shot her out of bed. She still needed to appear before the camera tomorrow. It was 2.30 am. It should be quiet around the area but the dogs were still barking. The growls were insistent yet despondent, who knew what they were barking about. 
In any case, they annoyed Tian Yi. She went to switch on the lights. 'Please don't let it be smallpox…' She grabbed the mirror. When she saw her reflection, chilblain broke out all over her skin. The mirror shattered against the floor but the shattering sound was drowned out by the young girl's scream.

The once-bustling and noisy streets were now filled with an eerie blanket of silence.
Hoarse and frenzied whispers lingered high above the heavens, and an indescribable ancient giant lurked in the shadows of the bottomless ocean.
A mysterious plague had outbroken, and natural disasters wrought the Earth. Global pandemic and catastrophes had the panicked masses seeking illusory shelters from the devastation, day and night.
A bloody shower poured over the land as the streaks of lightning tore across the sky, illuminating the ill-intentioned gathering of ravens above. Nevermore, nevermore, quoth the ravens.
"We can see that this malformed creature has twelve pairs of ribs like humans, but also has a "transverse bone" that humans do not possess..."
In the medical school, Gu Jun continued bringing down his scalpel, illustrating the abnormal thoracic structure of the malformed cadaver on the dissection table to the surrounding students.
Ominous and treacherous times had descended! Truth and logic had crumbled, order warped into a frenzy. Humanity can only forge ahead through the power of intelligence and wisdom.
Dive into this Lovecraftian horror and witness madness come to life. 

Mao Ruimin was dumbfounded when she heard the reply.
As for the matchmaker Aunt Liu, she could not help but let out a chuckle.
Hearing her chuckle, Mao Ruimin's cheeks immediately turned a flaming red, then green with a shade of white, but her face was mostly taken up by a blank expression of bewilderment.
"Some, something must have gone wrong! Could it be that someone stole my daughter's phone and made up a reply to prank me!?"
"This is definitely not my daughter!"
*
In the Luo family's manor.
After taking a nice, relaxing bath, Xia Bohe was drying her hair when she remembered that she had not completed her daily task received in school.
[Beautiful women who constantly strive for improvement are even more attractive. Please complete the process of washing your clothes by yourself once.]
[Reward: 300 Goddess Points.]
Xia Bohe did not have to think to know that normal wealthy wives did not need to do their laundry themselves, but she did not see it as a burden at all.
To her, this task seemed easy and natural.
Her hospital gown costume was stained with her period blood, and it would be embarrassing if she were to let someone else wash it.
She walked to the bathroom countertop situated beneath a wall-sized vanity mirror and turned on the automatic faucet, soaking the bloodstained spot on the hospital gown. She then pumped out some Armani hand soap from the dispenser beside her and rubbed it into the gown.
While pumping the soap, she inhaled its classy orchid fragrance which caused her heart to expand.
Did anybody ever use Armani to wash off period blood?
She felt like she was floating.
However, she really could not find a single bottle of laundry detergent in the bathroom.
Her ego inflated, Xia Bohe was even more vigorous with her rubbing, and with a flick, a speck of orchid-scented foam splashed tragically onto the corner of her eye.
She subconsciously rubbed the spot and her eyes immediately reddened.
She lifted her head and looked into the mirror. She had not performed a skill exchange yet, but she was currently already a real-life endearingly pitiful beauty!
The original host's dainty oval-shaped face was complemented with her translucent snow-like skin which had a faint pink tinge. She looked completely flawless as if she had on a natural toning cream.
Moreover, her soft pink cherry lips and straight delicate nose further brought out the radiance in her bright almond-shaped eyes. At the moment they were slightly red, which made her look as adorable as a small animal.
 Xia Bohe admired her reflection for a while until she heard her phone vibrate by the sink. She quickly turned on the screen and tapped on the unread message.
The original host's mother's enraged and resentful scolding voice immediately rang out overwhelmingly, echoing throughout the empty bathroom.
"Xia Bohe, I only asked you for 80,000 Yuan! I gave birth to you and almost died raising you, but I ended up raising a white-eyed wolf!? You think you're all grown up now and can ignore my words. Just look at yourself in the mirror, who did you inherit your looks from! Would you be who you are today without me? You won't even be able to set foot in an art school, not to mention becoming a celebrity and filming commercials!" (TN: The expression 白眼狼 (bái yǎn láng) which literally translates to "white-eyed wolf" is used to describe someone who is cold-hearted and ungrateful.)
"You'd better transfer that 80,000 over in three days, otherwise I won't call you my daughter anymore! Don't ever think of setting foot in our house, you white-eyed wolf!" 
The loudness of her voice startled Xia Bohe.
Even Luo Tianlin, who had just finished a meeting and walked into the bedroom, could hear everything clearly through the bathroom door.
He furrowed his brow and looked toward the glass door.
Drawing back his gaze, he was about to sit down, but he raised his eyes again and looked frowningly at the bathroom door which was slightly ajar.
After thinking for a while, he finally got up and walked toward the bathroom.
Through the crack, he saw the girl's eyes that were as red as a rabbit's and her eyelashes that seemed to be wet with water drops. She was secretly wiping the glistening corners of her eyes.
Standing in front of the spotless mirror, she now seemed like a pitiful and homeless abandoned child.
Luo Tianlin narrowed his dark eyes and stopped abruptly in his tracks.
There was an inexplicable tightness in his chest. 


Xia Bohe, a D-class actress struggling to make it big, wakes up to find herself transmigrated as a supporting character in a novel she's been reading. In this novel, the main character married a successful, wealthy and sexy CEO only to end up divorced with a ruined career and ultimately losing her life. With a second chance in life, Xia Bohe is not about to give up easily. But wait, what is this Goddess System with its beauty and acting skills? This can make things very interesting and fun as Xia Bohe navigates her way to success in her career and love life while getting rid of other pretentious cups of green tea in her path!

Chapter 227. Two similar shows (3)
All the four girls were circling around the screen as they watched an unexpected and surprising scene being played on the screen.
The screen showed the scene of a dojo.
Two people were clashing their swords with each other. The swords were of wood, so there was not a feel of a fierce fight in which lives were at stack.
But there was still a feel of nervousness, excitement and anticipation.
Moreover, the scene didn't look like something that was scripted. It looked real.
"Oh my god!! Why is Xin Ren clashing swords with that burly guy?"
One of the girls said as she put her hand on her lips.
"I don't know but he seems to be losing."
"Isn't this just scripted?"
Long Lu asked as she furrowed her brows but her three roommates shook their heads a little and replied.
"I don't think it's scripted."
"If it was scripted, Xin Ren would be winning, not losing."
"Yes and the person he's fighting is probably a master."
All the other three girls stared at the girl who said the last sentence. She was someone who used to learn kendo in high school.
She knows much more than the other three.
Seeing all her roommates staring at her, she sighed and began to explain.
"First of all, the posture of the burly guy is refined and he has probably practiced swords since he was young. It shows when he blocks the attacks."
"What do you mean? I can't see anything to refine from that."
Long Lu stared hard at the screen but she was not able to see anything. The other girl frowned and pointed at the screen with her finger.
"Look closely at the time when the burly guy blocks Xin Ren's attack."
The other girls looked closely and they soon noticed something surprising.
The screen showed Ren trying to attack the burly man on his shoulder but before his sword could even get close to his shoulder, the sword was blocked.
The surprising part was that the burly man was moving his sword even before Ren's attack.
It can only mean one thing. The burly man was guessing where Ren would attack and he was effectively blocking the attacks too.
He was truly a master!!
"But why is the burly man fighting with Ren?"
One of the girls raised this question and the others started to discuss.
"Yes, it's weird."
"Maybe we can find something from the comments section."
Long Lu said and opened up the comments section.
The comments section was jammed with thousands of comments coming in every second. One has to pause it to read the comments.
-I never thought that I would see a mock battle in A celebrity daily life. 
-Yes, it's really exciting but why is Xin Ren fighting with that burly guy?
-I don't know that either. I just came here after everyone started recommending this.
-Well, I will tell you about it. Actually, Xin Ren is learning martial arts or I should say swordsmanship and that burly guy is his trainer.
-QUESTION: Why is he learning it?
-It was not revealed but the fight is exciting anyway.
-Yes, oh!! It looks like Ren lost.
"The comments section is really intense."
Long Lu said as she went over all the comments but with the rapid speed of comments, she wasn't able to read all of them. 
Instead, she focused on watching the broadcast.
Just some minutes ago, she was happily watching the broadcast featuring her favourite celebrity which was a heavenly king to booth.
But now, she was excitedly watching another broadcast.
It was because A celebrity daily life was more interesting and she soon got engrossed in it. She even forgot about A house date with Meng Meng.
As they were all watching the broadcast, one of the girls took out her phone and logged into the university forums. She soon opened a thread.
[Everyone, quickly tune in to A celebrity daily life. It's really exciting!!]
That was the title of that thread and it soon got many replies. It was because the ID of the girl was already famous in the university forums.
-I'm here studying for exams and someone is watching a reality TV show.
-You would not say that if you are watching the show.
-Is it really interesting?
-Yes, it's featuring Xin Ren and it's getting interesting. I'm watching the show with all of my roommates.
-Wow!! Xin Ren is my favourite celebrity!!
-Mine too!! I can care about exams later. It's time to watch A celebrity daily life.
-I'm watching it too.
Soon, the thread blew out and almost half of the students studying in the university started watching A celebrity daily life.
The girl who has posted this thread was also stunned by the speed of the events but she didn't keep monitoring the comments.
She also wanted to watch the broadcast.
Like that, the four girls completely forgot about the exams and kept watching A celebrity daily life for more than an hour.
"Wow!! It was a nice episode."
"I think I will start to watch it every weekend from now on."
"Yes, it's a good show and I like the host. He's quite handsome."
As the three girls were talking with each other, Long Lu was intensely staring at the screen.
"What happened to you?"
One of the girls asked and Long Lu answered like she was in some great agony.
"I am thinking of following Xin Ren instead of the heavenly king now. What should I do?"
The other girls were surprised when they heard that. They all know Long Lu's passion for the heavenly king.
For one second, they even thought that she was sick or something but when they thought about both of the broadcasts, it made sense.
The heavenly king was elegant, refined and looked like a prince but he seems to be arrogant. Anyone can see that he was just being humble.
Ren was the opposite of him. He may not be as handsome as him but he looked to be hard working and he was even looking manly, fighting against the burly guy.
They all know who she could choose!!


Ren, he was someone with great talent in acting and singing but due to bad luck and some wrong choices, he was only able to become a third rate actor.

After dying in an accident, he noticed that he had returned to the past.

With the help of his talents and the knowledge of future, he started his journey to become the trendiest star of the century!

Today, Lin Jiali was wearing a simple white dress. The hem of the dress was torn, and as she walked with her slender legs, she looked like a fairy.
She was wearing a pair of black sunglasses, but it could not hide her unhappiness.
She was obviously a little unhappy. Along the way, she whispered to her assistant, "Ah Duo, isn't it just the big boss of the company coming? If he is coming, then so be it. Why do I have to specially welcome him?
"I'm still eating fried skewers at home. I finally got a day to relax, and you called me over!"
Lin Jiali's heart ached when she thought of the few remaining fried skewers on the table. She had bought them to reward herself for getting to two million fans! How would she dare to eat such things on a normal day?
In the end, she was called over by a phone call, wasting most of it.
Even before she left, she could not help herself. She walked to the door and took two more bites, but her heart still ached. 'I don't know when I'll be able to eat them again…'
This also made her complain a lot more about the boss who had come to inspect her for no reason. 'All the bosses who disturb female celebrities when they are rewarding their stomachs are no good!'
She was in such a miserable state. In order to maintain her figure, she usually didn't dare to eat anything. Now that she finally let loose, she was even disturbed.
'Damn it!'
Her assistant, Ah Duo, jogged beside Lin Jiali and whispered, "Hey, stop fooling around. What do you mean by 'just a big boss'? That's our bread and butter."
Lin Jiali pouted. "My parents are my fans, not the boss… the boss is just a vampire."
Her assistant pleaded, "My dear lady, didn't you get to where you are today because of the company? Without the company, you don't have any fans."
Lin Jiali rolled her eyes. "I was trained by Sister Tan and Sister Chu. Even if I spent any money, it was the money of my previous boss. What does it have to do with this vampire?"
'Inexplicably, it made sense…'
Assistant Ah Duo was speechless.
The two of them arrived at Lin Jiali's resting room. Ah Duo closed the door and pulled Lin Jiali to sit down. She whispered to Lin Jiali, "Sister Jiali, let me share some gossip with you."
Lin Jiali took off her sunglasses and took out a mirror to look at herself. She then moved her face closer to her assistant and pointed at her own face. "Ah Duo, do I look beautiful today?"
Just as Ah Duo was about to say something, she looked at Lin Jiali's beautiful face and lost herself for a moment. When she regained her senses, she sighed and said to Lin Jiali, "Sister Jiali, you are so beautiful. How can there be such a beautiful woman in this world?"
Lin Jiali smiled beautifully and twisted her body happily.
Ah Duo realized that she had changed the topic and quickly changed the topic, "Sister Jiali! I was about to share some gossip with you!"
"Oh, oh," Lin Jiali said as she turned to grab something from her bag. "What's the gossip?"
Ah Duo looked around and said softly, "I heard from the company that Sister Chu and Sister Tan have fallen out. Sister Chu wants to leave with her people."
Lin Jiali's movements did not change. She took out a tube of lipstick from her bag and picked up the small mirror from earlier. As she drew on the lipstick, she said casually, "Didn't they break it off a few times every year? They're used to it."
She looked up at her lipstick color in the mirror and mumbled, "This color doesn't match my makeup."
After muttering to herself, she slammed the mirror shut and said to Ah Duo, "They have been partners for five to six years. It's normal for them to quarrel occasionally. In the end, Sister Tan was the one who was convinced."
Ah Duo said anxiously, "It's different this time! Sister Chu is really taking people away! She has already talked to many people."
Linkly was surprised. "Really? That big?"
Ah Duo's head bobbed like a chick's. "Yes, yes! It's true!"
Lin Jiali asked, "Then why didn't she talk to me? I'm still the top celebrity of the company!"
Ah Duo was speechless.
'Oh good lord! That's not the point, is it? '
Lin Jiali's beautiful face scrunched up in self-doubt. "Am I… so unimportant?"
Ah Duo was speechless and decided not to go along with Lin Jiali's silly way of thinking. She asked softly, "Sister Jiali, if I let you choose, who will you follow?"
Lin Jiali hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think Sister Tan is more easygoing."
A smile appeared on Ah Duo's face. "I'll only follow you. I'll go wherever you go."
Linkari pinched Ah Duo's cheek. "You're one to talk."
After saying that, she threw the lipstick into her bag and reached her hands behind her neck. She waved her black hair and said, "Alright, let's not talk anymore. Let's go find Sister Tan. Didn't Sister Tan say to meet her earlier?"
Ah Duo agreed. "Mmm-hmm!"
The two of them left the lounge and headed to the general manager's office.
As a proper management company, New Arts Culture actually had quite a number of employees. After all, even though it was small, it had all the essentials. Just in terms of position, New Arts Culture had managers, celebrity scouts, celebrity assistants, performance teachers, music teachers, dance teachers, literary planners, market specialists, and so on. There was even… a milk tea shop employee.
That's right. As celebrities and employees liked to drink milk tea, Tan Mei even opened a milk tea shop downstairs for them.
When there was no business, this milk tea shop was open to the public. After a year, there was still a small profit without any loss…
Arriving at the general manager's office, Lin Jiali knocked on the door. A tired woman's voice came from inside. "Come in."
Lin Jiali walked in with a smile as beautiful as a flower. She called out sweetly, "Sister Tan, you were looking for me?"
Ah Duo also called out from the doorway, "Sister Tan."
After Tan Mei nodded at her, she closed the door and left the room for Lin Jiali and Tan Mei.
When Lin Jiali walked in, she noticed that Tan Mei did seem to be in trouble. The desk in front of her was covered with contracts and looked messy. Tan Mei's dark circles and tiredness could not be hidden by the thick foundation.
Lin Jiali asked softly, "Sister Tan, are you okay?"
Tan Mei shook her head and gestured for Lin Jiali to sit on the sofa. She then stood up and said, "Lin Jiali, the company is in trouble…"
When Lin Jiali heard this, she said directly, "Sister Tan, are you going to deduct my salary…?"
Then, before Tan Mei could reply, she said, "You can give me a haircut… But remember to leave me 10,000 yuan a month. Otherwise, I won't even have enough for my daily expenses."
Tan Mei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, Lin Jiali's thoughtful words made her mood better. "You're thinking too much. If the company is doing so badly that you have to get a salary reduction, we might as well close down."
Linkali asked in confusion, "Why?"
Tan Mei sighed and told Lin Jiali about Chu Hong.
Lin Jiali's mouth opened so wide that she could swallow a whale.
After a while, she said in surprise, "How could Sister Chu Hong do this! This is too much! This company is her blood, sweat, and tears! She actually destroyed the company just for some money!"
Tan Mei smiled bitterly. "I didn't expect it either."
Lin Jiali jumped to her feet. "I'll go find her!"
As she said that, she wanted to run away!
Tan Mei quickly stopped her. "Jiali, things have already come to this. It's useless even if you try to persuade her."
Lin Jiali stopped.
Tan Mei said, "Furthermore, she hasn't even returned to the Imperial Capital. She's still in Shanghai. You can't find her even if you wanted to."
Lin Jiali's shoulders drooped slowly, then she turned her head. "Then Sister Tan… how can I help you?"
Tan Hong finally revealed her purpose. "Jiali, I do need your help."
"Our boss will be here soon. I think he'll probably see you. I hope you'll be friendly when the time comes. Then… tell us more about the trainees and the employees who are leaving."
"After all, although they chose Chu Hong, they still… got along. Sigh."
Tan Mei's eyes were filled with fatigue.
This was the most she could do.
After returning to New Arts Culture, she pushed for a contract and conducted a private investigation according to Su Yang. She found out that there were some employees in a few departments as well as some artists who were acting weirdly.
After confirming that they were going to betray the company together with Chu Hong, Tan Mei's heart ached.
However, she, who had always been a sentimental person and could not bear to think about Su Yang's arrangement with those people last night. She felt that… it was too cruel. That was why she begged Lin Jiali.
It was not that she did not want those people to be punished, but… she did not want Su Yang to be so extreme. After all, that would ruin them…
When Lin Jiali heard this, she was a little confused. "Sister Tan, I don't know my new boss. There's no point in persuading him, right?"
Tan Mei shook her head. "He… treats you differently."
Lin Jiali was curious. "Why do you say that?"
Tan Mei sat back in her chair and said slowly, "The contract for the drama that you starred in, the new announcement that you wanted to appear, and Chu Hong personally taking care of you were all arranged by the new boss."
Lin Jiali covered her mouth, her big eyes full of surprise. "What?"
Tan Mei nodded. "I find it strange too. I don't think he knows you, but he's very familiar with your situation. Every time you encounter a problem, he would call me and ask me to solve it for you.
"So... you must be able to talk to him."
…
The two chatted for half an hour. Finally, Lin Jiali left the office in a daze.
She could not understand why the new boss would take care of her. She did not know him at all…
'Don't tell me… he's conspiring against me?'
Lin Jiali was a little worried… After all, artists were still very subject to agency restrictions.
Her assistant had been waiting outside the door. When she saw Lin Jiali coming out, she immediately went up to her, "Sister Jiali, Sister Tan, what did you talk about?"
Lin Jiali awkwardly told Ah Duo what Tan Mei said.
However, Ah Duo did not care at all. Instead, she encouraged Lin Jiali, "Sister Jiali! This is a good thing! The new boss values you! He will give you more resources to make you popular!"
Then, she muttered softly, "It's better than that so-called male fan of yours. That guy looks like he's up to no good."


Su Yang was an average university student in Shanghai when he received a system that allowed him to add points to things. The point system provided him with missions and by clearing them, he would gain points. 
Add a point into an object, the object will receive a special ability; add a point into a plant, the plant will come alive; add points on himself, he will get talents or superpowers.
With the mysterious point system in hand, Su Yang aimed to become rich and alter his fate. On his path towards success, he encountered many interesting matters and people, including famous actresses and business tycoons. Fueled by determination, Su Yang set his sight on adding points into all things to help him achieve his goal. 


After Qiao Yu went abroad, he and Chang Feng did not meet. But when Qiao Yu came back, he found Chang Feng did pretty well domestically, and also did pretty well in plagiarism. 
But he had his ways and was supported by some big figure. 
High-end designers disdained to partner with him, while low-end ones didn't dare to provoke him. Thus those who had been copied could only eat the humble pie; some would even be slandered as the copycat instead. 
Qiao Yu originally disliked Chang Feng very much. Fortunately he didn't have many chances to meet Chang Feng in work and in his circle. 
But Chang Feng acted like he really wanted to compete with Qiao Yu. As long as they met in the same event, he would try everything he could to win over him. 
Anyway, Qiao Yu was annoyed at this person. 
It could even be said he was disgusted. 
Anyone who faced with a copycat that once copied his works would be disgusted. 
...
Dididi—
Ming Shu and Qiao Yu went home after having the big meal. The minute Ming Shu's phone connected with Wifi, the message reminder kept ringing. 
Ming Shu tried several times before finally logging in. 
The top search was not the inside story about the contest, but was about Jiang Wang and her. 
Before, when she asked Jiang Wang if he liked her, someone recorded a video and posted it online. 
[Who is that man? That Goddess should ask him if he likes her, you are telling me, who doesn't like Goddess!] 
[It seems to be Jiang Wang, who often appears in finance newspapers.] 
[Ask me, Goddess!!]
[Boss Jiang and Goddess look well-matched. Look at Boss Jiang's loving eyes, OMG, I feel like I've found back my lost heart as a young girl.] 
Jiang Wang was inherently good-looking. Some girls would even buy newspapers with him in the financial pages to admire him. 
Jiang Wang also didn't keep a low profile. For some interviews and events, even if he didn't talk much, he would show up. 
He was crowned as the image spokesperson for the business circles. 
Ming Shu stared at Jiang Wang in the video, and she really couldn't see any sign of affection in him…
She felt more that Jiang Wang wanted to kill her. 
Sometimes the public eyes were blind. 
Ming Shu opened the microblog and reposted that video, then publicly @ Jiang Wang's official account as the poop-picker. 
Maybe I can save my dying Hatred Points. 
I won't allow a self-abandonment. 
This repost boiled the comments below immediately. 
[Why did goddess @ Majesty's poop-picker?] 
[What's the relationship between these two? A love triangle? Is Majesty's poop-picker going to abandon the cat and fall into the goddess's arms?] 
[A cliched drama seems to be ongoing, I've prepared my melon seeds and peanuts, sitting and waiting.] 
[Did you find… Boss Jiang's office in some interview videos looks similar to the room in Majesty's videos?] 
[…]
Snacks Are Justice: Cousin, your business circles' image spokesperson is a cat slave, is this breaking news? 
Royal Poop-Picker V: Very breaking news, Miss Su, are you happy?
Ming Shu was a little surprised.
It turned out when she opened the message box, Jiang Wang was right then sending a message to her, so she accidentally opened it instead. 
Killing intent lingered between lines. 
Ming Shu read the messages he sent composedly. 
Royal Poop-Picker V: Miss Su, I like you, I'm not against you.
Before Ming Shu replied, she suddenly received a public @ message. 
Royal Poop-Picker V: @Snacks Are Justice My girlfriend likes it // @Just Think I'm Pompous: Full disclosure from Crystal Hall, sweet lovers [video] 
[Wow! Goddess and Boss Jiang had long been together, and Boss Jiang raised Majesty because goddess liked it. They're so sweet.] 
[Boss Jiang looks so cute when he pets Majesty! No, I can't imagine that picture, my nose is bleeding… guys, please call 911 for me.] 
[I like you so I raised a cat for you.] 
The attention of netizens who were originally wondering why a president like Jiang Wang would raise a cat was now instantly drawn away. 
That sentence "I like you so I raised a cat for you" was reposted like a million times, and soon soared to the top in searches. 
#Su Man, raise cat# 
#A secret between the web celebrity and boss# 
#Goddess, I have a cat, will you marry me?# 
All kinds of top search discussions emerged endlessly. 
Ming Shu: "…"
The cat slave used me as his shield! 
WTF!
This goblin claimed that I'm his girlfriend without my permission, does he have a face? Has Majesty eaten it up? 
Ming Shu bit two mouthfuls of sliced dried beef and typed some words with strength. 
Snacks Are Justice: Boss Jiang, how much did you pay for the top search? 
Royal Poop-Picker V: Not too much.
Jiang Wang laughed ferociously at the other end of the phone. Humph, who let you destroy my character setting, do you think I'm easy to bully!
Snacks Are Justice: …
Okay, you want to hurt each other?
I'm not afraid of you!
Snacks Are Justice: @Royal Poop-Picker V Boss Jiang, please behave yourself. I didn't agree to like you, so don't delay my being a single noble. 
Two fools went on to hold their phones and argue online with each other, with ferocious smiles. 
The microblog almost collapsed. 
Xu Youran was doing a livestream, but she found that the netizens in the chatroom were not discussing her at all, but were heatedly discussing what happened on another microblog. 
The number of followers in the chatroom reduced quickly. Xu Youran couldn't bear it and turned off the livestream. 
She watched Ming Shu and Jiang Wang's interaction on the Internet. Perhaps the two were arguing with each other, but through the imagination and interpretation of netizens, it was more like displaying affection in a different way. 
Veins violently jumped up on Xu Youran's hand that was holding the phone. 
She has a beautiful face, I admit that, but why can she always get everyone's attention. 
Xu Youran looked at her own face in the mirror. My face also looks beautiful… 
Xu Youran took a deep breath. She would definitely become well known, she would become the star under the spotlight. 
Xu Youran changed clothes and reopened the livestream. She dressed sexy this time, and followers in the chatroom gradually increased. 
Xu Youran seemed to find some confidence. 
...
Qiao Yu was busy with the design for the final round and didn't have time to care about Ming Shu. So Ming Shu took her time to argue with Jiang Wang; she was really annoyed at him. 
"I want to see your boss." Ming Shu smacked the marble front desk domineeringly. 
The receptionist was startled, but still asked patiently, "Do you have an appointment with Boss Jiang?" 
"No." Ming Shu wore a pair of sunglasses and the employee didn't recognize her, so she took off the glasses and smiled. "Do I need an appointment?" 
The employee exclaimed lightly, "Miss Su Man."
The entire company knew what happened on the microblog. No one expected that Boss Jiang not only had a beautiful web celebrity girlfriend but also raised a web celebrity cat. 
Their boss didn't look indifferent in daily life, but he also didn't look like an easy-going person. 
Having a web celebrity girlfriend and raising a web celebrity cat? This was simply not consistent with Boss Jiang's image. 
"Boss Jiang is in a meeting." The employee couldn't help examining Ming Shu. "May I take you up?"
Jiang Wang's company had a weird style in decoration. It looked grand, but was filled with cute designs in small places, which were mostly related to cats. 
Jiang Wang was in the middle of a meeting, and hearing that his "gossip girlfriend" came, he almost fell off his chair. Then after the meeting, Jiang Wang wandered around the meeting room for a long time and didn't come out. 
Until the assistant went back to the meeting room again to check, and Jiang Wang left the meeting room while pretending to be calm. 
"Don't follow me." 
Jiang Wang had a feeling that something might happen later, so he didn't want the assistant to be there. 
He went to see Ming Shu alone. 
Arriving at the reception room, Jiang Wang looked around and didn't see anyone nearby. Then he grabbed the reception room's door handle, twisted…


Imagine having the opportunity to be able to enter different worlds created by numerous novels and stories. Which kind of role would you like to play? 

Do you want to be the illustrious protagonist, either good or evil; or just be a supporting role standing behind the protagonists? 

Our villain boss Ming Shu would, however, choose none of the above. Claiming missions from the Harmony System, and driven by her endless passion for snacks, the world traveler, Ming Shu, embarks on the path to make the mission target hate her as much as possible by gaining Hatred Points. But it turns out she is not alone on her journey… 
 


Even if she became a mistress without knowing it, Song Yao didn't deny she deserved a good beating. She didn't report it to the police or speak out about it since she still had the identity of a celebrity. She can't embarrass that person and all she could think about was silently putting the whole thing behind them; after she recovered for a while then she could return back to work.
Song Yao's phone had been ringing the whole night - it was the same caller ID and number.
Lin Nuan guessed it was that man who took advantage of Song Yao using those "unspoken rules". She muted the phone and helped Bai XIaonian carry Song Yao up on the bed to lay her down. She couldn't fall asleep the whole night.
...
The next morning, LIn Nuan and Bai Xiaonian went out at three-ten sharp and reached the television station at four o'clock.
Despite upper management notifying Lin Nuan to prepare for a new show and Bai Xiaonian leaving the broadcast channel, Miss Xia didn't want to give the audience the impression of the Morning News switching hosts too frequently. Hence, she let Bai Xiaonian and Lin Nuan go on air together so they could familiarize themselves with the former. Then she would let Bai Xiaonian host alone starting next Monday.
The two of them left after leaving Song Yao a note.
They crossed arms on the way there, nobody mentioning anything about Song Yao.
Bai Xiaonian was a bit nervous going on air the first time on Morning News, yet she still gave an excellent performance.
The regular audience of Bai Xiaonian and Lin Nuan's broadcast show intentionally went to check out the Morning News and marveled over their beautiful appearances.
The first show went well, especially because the audience feedback for Bai Xiaonian was as good as that of Lin Nuan's first time on the show, hence Miss Xia was quite satisfied.
In the makeup lounge, Bai Xiaonian and Lin Nuan removed their makeup as they discussed purchasing some medicine for Song Yao in the pharmaceutical shop later on the way back.
"Song Yao's identity is quite special. It's not proper for her to go to the hospital with wounds like that on her face," Lin Nuan said as she washed her face and dabbed it with a wipe.
"I'm staying at your place these two days as well, I'll just crash on the floor like last night. Later, I'll go back to my place first to get some daily supplies…"
Bai Xiaonian put on her skincare and sunscreen in front of the mirror, along with a thin coat of lip gloss. She recalled what Song Yao said last night about having wrinkles around her eyes. She examined her face carefully in the mirror and discovered a few dry wrinkles right under her eyes. "Time really is cruel…"
Miss Xia's assistant, Yang Yuze, suddenly opened the door to the makeup lounge, holding hands with Tuan Tuan who was still in his pajamas and flip-flops with a backpack on him.
"Mama!"
Tuan Tuan's round, black eyes were wet. As soon as he spotted Lin Nuan he broke free from Yang Yuze's hand and wanted to come hug Lin Nuan's leg…
Lin Nuan unconsciously dodged away from him, which made Tuan Tuan immediately stand still before her, not daring to hug her.
Tuan Tuan felt a bit upset as he looked up at Lin Nuan.
Yang Yuze was shocked by how Tuan Tuan called her mother. He really couldn't tell that Lin Nuan had a child already at that age when she was still so young.
"The guard downstairs was careless and let this kid run into the broadcast building all by himself. The host of the Happily Ever After Show, Zhouxi, found him adorable and asked him why he came in. He replied he was trying to find you so I brought him all the way here…"
Lin Nuan didn't explain and thanked Yang Yuze. She shut the door and reached out to hug Tuan Tuan and put him on the sofa, unable to bear with his wet eyes…
Tuan Tuan kept silent throughout like a good boy.
"How did this kid get here? Is he all alone?"
Lin Nuan kneeled down to ask Tuan Tuan, "How did you come here? Who sent you over? Auntie Li?"
Tuan Tuan pondered about it for a while before leaping off the sofa and digging out a laptop from his backpack. He said, "I saw Mom in here… and then I showed the driver and he said Mom was quite awesome and that he knew where you were…"


With his engagement at hand, the most terrifying and legendary person of the legal world, Fu Huai'an, returns with a son.

Before the engagement…

He asks, "Since you love Wen Moshen, why are you in my bed?"
She says, "Because I cannot watch idly as Wen Moshen's woman enters an engagement with you."

With a cigarette in Fu Huai'an's mouth, he crosses his legs. Across the light cloud of smoke, he squints his eyes—watching as Lin Nuan's slim arms wrap around his neck; he feels stirred.

So a person can love another so passionately.

"You call what you did a kiss?"
"…"
"What a pure lady!" 

Fu Huai'an spews out a cloud of smoke and snuffs out the cigarette. With a mellow voice, he says, "Let me teach you what kissing is!"

But, what he teaches Lin Nuan doesn't seem to be only a kiss…

Upon returning to the hotel where she was staying on Ilha Canoas, Fernanda walked slowly - her silhouette bathed in the moonlight, providing a beautiful and serene image.

They say that whoever holds a grudge is like a fish being held by a hook. As a person who was still controlled by her grudges, Fernanda hoped she could reevaluate all of her resentments in this life.

Be a person, or ex-ghost, who lived by himself.

Without being controlled by anything, only by your desires.

When her slow steps reached a busy street, Fernanda appreciated the surroundings. When working, she was always busy with a narrow schedule of activities. Now, facing the new life opportunity, the time she would set aside for leisure would be a priority.

Unaccustomed to hunger, the smells and odors of food in coastal restaurants, were a warning of what to raise as a first priority. Like a newborn, everything was new. It had to be experienced and touched to recognize.

The vibrant colors that stores and clothing people had at night were different by day. On the sidewalk, a shop window was used as a personal mirror. Looking closely, the image that your adolescent body has in this period, does not seem to match her anymore.

Turning and turning around, she decided to act at an accelerated pace to build change.

"... Fernanda?"

While looking at the glass of the window, a girl of 1.60 meters had come to her side and called her name.

Without embarrassment on her face, Fernanda stared at the stranger.

"You know me?"

"Ah, sorry ..."

Red-faced, the girl looked down, embarrassed. Fernanda became interested in the girl who, at this time, was carrying two vases of orchid in her arms and who at this age, still wore pigtails in her hair.

"Do you study at the same college as me?"

"We study in the same class ..."

"..."

Fernanda did not remember many people who lived during high school. Ask something that she clearly remembers from her daily life at this time, she will answer it in a doubtful way. Then ask about who owes money in that period, she at this point, will respond in a clear and positive way.

"I can't remember all my classmates, sorry. Can you say your name? "

So, she decided to be honest. In part.

"My name is Vanessa. We never talked at school ... and you are always surrounded by people, it is natural not to know someone like me ... "

The girl seemed to have an introverted personality - exclaiming the name Fernanda must have spent all of Vanessa's accumulated courage. This shy girl's voice had a sweet tone, so even if she spoke softly, it sounded charming. Nothing disturbing.

"I didn't need to be ashamed"

"Eh?"

Confused, the girl with her head down raised her eyes abruptly. Directly looking at her face, Fernanda started to remember who the teenager was. Not because she was a classmate, but because she saw that same face on a newspaper page announcing a young woman's tragic suicide.

The memory was strong and unusual for Fernanda for two reasons. That newspaper was where their engagement had been publicly reported and was collected as a souvenir. Also, Vanessa's suicide was linked to a well-known tycoon in her family. Remembering other characteristics of the girl, described in that same newspaper, Fernanda began to associate her few high school memories.

"Oh, you are the girl with the best grades of the year!"

"Do you know about me?"

Vanessa smiled brightly, rummaging the flower pots up and down. As she had blond hair and blue eyes, she perished an angel.

I don't know what could happen to allow and lead an energetic girl like this to commit such an atrocity with herself ...

Suicide was going to happen in two years.

"I may not remember that you were in my class, but I know the face of our representative at the math Olympics"

"AHHhhh It's amazing that you remember me !!!"

The vessels continued to be stirred. Will they resist the wicked whole?

"You are very excited"

"Sorry, sorry, sorry"

Again, her face was red. She was the type of person who had emotions written on her face. Different than me...

"At school you are so far away! It's amazing to be able to talk to you! "

"I'm not a celebrity for you to act so excited ..."

"You are a celebrity at our school! Everyone knows you there! "

"..."

Fernanda didn't know that she was popular this way.

"You are our snow white!"

This time, Fernanda was embarrassed.

It was really necessary to revitalize his image. Delete synonyms for 'princess' and 'fragility' in your appearance.

It would be very embarrassing if they knew that the 'big ghost', which many feared, was a "snow white" at some point in their life.

Changing the subject, Fernando asked where he could find a beauty salon open tonight. Today, preferably ...

"My mom has a beauty salon nearby. If it's okay for you, you can accompany me home ... well, it's a small and simple place, nothing grand and chic that you're used to going to. I can give you the location of other better known places- "

"No matter what the size, I just want to cut and change my hair style"

"Change your style? You are already so beautiful ... "

"This is precisely why I want to change. I want to look a little less beautiful "

"....."

***

Three hours later.

Fernanda, who had been blessed by an angel - can finally go to heaven.

My first life was a lie.


While my second life... 


It is summed up as complete stupidity.


When I wanted, he ran away.


When he wanted, I ran.


When we were both tired, we fell in love...

Say that I won't be her manager?

Although they say that a celebrity is fickler than summer weather, I couldn't understand Son Chaeyoung at all. When I looked at the rearview mirror, Son Chaeyoung was staring at the window as though she had said what she wanted. It seemed she didn't dry her hair all that well as it was still dripping with water.

I tapped the steering wheel before asking,

"Did you ask to meet to say that?"

"That's right. Is there a problem? Ah, don't tell CEO Baek about this conversation too."

"What's the reason?"

"Why do you want to know?"

Son Chaeyoung looked at the rearview mirror again.

Reflected on the slightly foggy mirror, her particularly vivid lips parted to say,

"Why? Do you want to work with me? Do you want me now?"

"Nope."

I replied immediately. Son Chaeyoung frowned and turned away.

"You're an eyesore."

"There is a sleeping mask in the back."

Son Chaeyoung frowned again.

"So ridiculous. I'll lose my temper if I keep riding this car."

More than now?

I was at a loss for words.

"There'll be no reason for you to ride this car anymore so relax."

I replied calmly. Son Chaeyoung threw the towel she was wiping her wet clothes with. Then she pressed her back against the seat. I could see the seat getting wet through the rearview mirror. Oh, wow. I bet she'd be rolling in the back seat if I asked her to not get the seat wet one more time.

A long while after I received her irritated glare through the rearview mirror, Son Chaeyoung snorted.

"You probably understand a lot more about this industry now, yet you still aren't good at calculating. You need to look at the bigger picture. Do you think you'll easily come across chances to work with an actress of standing?"

"You're the one that told me not to be your manager?"

"Ah, my words came out wrong because of you! It's because you asked me for a reason!"

Should I try to sound her out?

"I'm just curious because you've changed suddenly. I was wondering if you're planning on retiring or something."

I lightly shrugged and observed her reaction through the rearview mirror.

Son Chaeyoung's mouth was agape as though she heard something absurd.

"Retire? Why would I retire? Who said I was retiring?"

"I'm just asking. They say people die if they change suddenly."

"What 'suddenly'? It's been so long since I've asked you to be my manager. The train's already left the station."

She snorted again before continuing,

"Also, I'm never going to retire. What will I do if I give this up?"

I don't know. Although I didn't know what she did for a living, I did know that she apparently retired.

It looked like Son Chaeyoung didn't have the slightest intention of retiring. What caused her to change her mind that she retired at the peak of her career? What sort of rumors were there again?

Married into a Chinese conglomerate's family? Undergoing therapy? Pregnancy? Plays overseas?

The 'undergoing therapy' rumor seemed plausible. She seemed to have two or three mental illnesses.

But why were they all rumors? Why did no one know the truth?

If a top actress suddenly declared she was retiring and there were provocative rumors like mental illness or pregnancy, then reporters must have been swarming to find the truth. The paparazzi would have chased her around since she was a top star in China as well.

But how was the truth buried?

It would be impossible for Son Chaeyoung to avoid the reporters' radar by herself.

Was it really related to a Chinese conglomerate?

A chief from Team 2 did say something in the past. That the person who owns the hotel we were staying at was such a fan of Son Chaeyoung that he wished to have a meal with her. Seeing Son Chaeyoung's reaction at that time, it didn't seem like the first time she was dealing with a situation like that.

If not, then the company might have actively quelled any information.

I recalled CEO Baek Hansung's face as I looked at the rain drip down the windshield.

"I'm telling you again, tell CEO Baek that you won't be my manager."

Son Chaeyoung said as she propped her chin on her arm that was on the window. She seemed to have opened the window a little as the wet breeze fluttered her finally dry hair. I saw her half-opened eyes between her fluttering hair. They were restless and excited, like a fighting dog ready to bite and attack its opponent.

"Even if you tell him you won't, the CEO won't think bad of you."

I heard her voice amidst the loud sound of raindrops falling.

"Because most chief-level managers will say they can't."

*

Son Chaeyoung's words were a prophecy.

After the drive in the rain, Son Chaeyoung showed what a crazy bitch truly was. Thanks to her committing daily acts of violence and wickedness as she ran through a landmine, wails could be heard from the Team 2 office.

The chief-level managers who the Team 2 Leader set up with Son Chaeyoung quit one after the other like dragonflies swept up in a storm. I heard this from Chief Lee Bongjoon, but a chief who said he would control Son Chaeyoung later clung to the Team 2 Leader's calves, saying he couldn't do it any longer.

That was why Chief Jo, who was familiar with Son Chaeyoung, was temporarily assigned to Son Chaeyoung once again. I saw Chief Jo a few times at work, his initial impression of a neighborhood hyung became a ruined man.

It seemed like Chief Jo and the Team 2 Leader was doing whatever they could to soothe Son Chaeyoung, but it was already the fifth day of the week CEO Baek Hansung gave them. Incidents were constantly bursting at Team 2.

And one was about to burst in our team as well.

"Oppa! Oppa, oppa, take the picture when it bursts!"

"Don't worry about it and pull."

"Euaah! How can I not worry when you're the one taking the picture?!"

Party poppers that is.

The fan club sent us a table-sized cake to commemorate Making Film hitting 15% in ratings. We were holding a party in the fourth-floor lounge to express our thanks and take photos showing us eating the cake.

A photo of everyone wearing party hats and cream on their lips.

I took a step back from the noisy center. Then I captured a bunch of photos clearly illustrating the event with a digital camera. One where Neptune launched the party poppers above their heads, and people eating cake like they were starved.

The three goldfish were laughing like they were drunk.

Jung Jae was busy serving pieces of cake and drinks.

I was taking pictures for a while when Chief Lee Taeshin swaggered over and sat down. With a face that seemed to almost suffocate with emotions, he said,

"That day, after their performance, it looks like they gained a lot of confidence."

"Really?"

"Yes, they had never performed where the audience cheered so loudly."

As though he recalled that moment, Chief Lee Taeshin let out an excited breath.

"They had gone up thinking that people might boo or throw garbage at them, but a cheer erupted out from somewhere and spread instantly. That moment replays in mind a few times every day that I can't go about my daily activities properly."

He added while looking at Pretty Girls,

"If I'm like this, then it must have been much more meaningful to them. They'll probably never forget it in their lifetime."

"It's good that it'll remain as a good memory."

I replied as I turned the camera.

Through the viewfinder, the goldfish looked happy like they were having a wonderful dream.

"Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing."{1}

I heard someone say beside me. I turned around while holding the camera. I saw Lee Songha through the viewfinder. Lee Songha was sitting next to me instead of Chief Lee Taeshin at some point. She was holding two pieces of cake. Her eyes, which were fluffier than the cream, looked at me.

I wasn't even surprised anymore.

"How do you always know what the left hand doesn't."

Lee Songha turned her head away. Only her head.

Still sitting, she silently shuffled her chair until she was right next to me.

Finding her actions funny, I pressed the shutter again.

***

"We're in a haunted house while they on a carousel? What the heck is this?"

Chief Lee of the Management Team 2 grumbled. He groaned intermittently. His mental state was exhausted in two days. Of course, it was because of Son Chaeyoung.

"There's only one floor between us in the same building, yet isn't the atmosphere too different?"

He looked at the person beside him. Chief Jo nodded with the exhausted eyes of a dried fish. They were standing in the corner of the stairwell on their way up. The fourth-floor lounge was in the middle of its loud party.

The two stared at the scene.

"Jung Sunwoo, that guy has incredible luck."

Chief Lee's gaze lingered on Jung Sunwoobefore looking at Pretty Girls and Neptune. The loud and warm scene in front of them could only be titled as 'Happy'.

He licked his lips and said,

"How can he be with such good girls? While we'll have to wait and see about Pretty Girls, Neptune should have had some sort of problem by now. It's so odd that none of them have taken up a bad behavior or something."

"I know, right?"

"They need to be awarded an upright celebrity certificate or something. And on top of that."

He turned his gaze to Lee Songha, who was quietly sitting next to Jung Sunwoo.

"Her. Lee Songha's the real deal, no?"

"I don't know."

Chief Jo replied bitterly.

Unsatisfied with Chief Jo's response, Chief Lee urged on,

"I mean I thought she was quiet after Cat Guardian Ghost became a hit because she was still in the start of her career, but she hasn't changed a bit even after two more successful projects and as her popularity grows by the day."

"Well…"

"I bet there's no one as easy to work with than her amongst those at her level. She's not stubborn, fickle, and doesn't cause any incidents. She also doesn't have interests outside of work, so you don't have to worry about a scandal either."

Chief Lee counted with his fingers.

"And it's not like her work is just okay. Have you ever seen her get irritated or say she doesn't like something to Jung Sunwoo? She hasn't complained once even though her schedule was packed for half a year with her drama and movie overlapping and Neptune's schedule as well. She's completely different from Son Chaeyoung."

The more Chief Lee talked, the more bitter Chief Jo's expression became.

Like there was something that bothered him.

Chief Jo opened his cracked lips and asked,

"Lee Songha's reputation is quite good, isn't it?"

"Not just good. Almost historically great. Dramas, movie, commercials, photoshoots, no bad rumors came out of anything she does. Everyone just wants to work with her again. I've seen tons of celebrities while working, but it's my first time seeing someone like her. She's just perfect."

Chief Lee's voice dripped with desire.

"There'll probably be tons of people getting in line if she looks for a new manager. I've been interested every time I've seen her. I feel like it'll be like winning the lottery every day if I manage her. Aren't you interested, Chief Jo?"

"… Let's say her manager changes."

"Pardon? Her manager is going to change?"

Chief Lee immediately asked. He seemed like he would immediately go and introduce himself if that was the case.

"Hypothetically."

Chief Jo shook his head. Then he swallowed his saliva and said,

"Whether it's because our higher-ups said so or whatever, let's just say that her manager changes. But she suddenly starts causing all sorts of problems. She can't act, doesn't listen, and causes issues."

"Why do you say such terrifying things? That's Son Chaeyoung."

"So if she suddenly acts like Son Chaeyoung, then what will the higher-ups do?"

Chief Lee rolled his eyes,

"They try to soothe her as much as possible."

"Don't you know from dealing with Son Chaeyoung? Do you think that'll work? Also, Son Chaeyoung's already a well-known hellion, so at least you'll get people's sympathy. What do you think will happen if Lee Songha acts like that under your care?"

As though he had imagined this, Chief Lee frowned.

"I guess they'll scold me, asking what I was doing for her to act like that when she was so calm with Jung Sunwoo. Damn it, just thinking about it is suffocating."

He shook his shoulders and changed his thoughts,

"Then they'll probably have Jung Sunwoo manage her again."

"Right?"

"The situation with Son Chaeyoung is this bad because there's no one to rein her in. But you're saying Lee Songha won't cause problems so long as she's with Jung Sunwoo. That's what I would do if I was an executive."

While listening to this, Chief Jo's expression became odd.

Chief Lee tapped his arm.

"But why are you thinking about this? It's just so drastic. Although Lee Songha does follow Jung Sunwoo particularly well, do you really think she'll act like Son Chaeyoung because her manager changed? When they are polar opposites?"

"The conversation we had just now, I said the same thing in the past."

"Pardon? With who?"

Chief Jo stared at Lee Songha.

Although she was simply sitting there with no makeup or lights, she gave off an uncommon feeling. There was a sense of distance like she was in a far-off world by herself. However, her expression lit up whenever she talked with Jung Sunwoo.

Like a wax figure coming to life.

Chief Jo mumbled,

"With Lee Songha."

"Pardon?"

"Although it's a bit crazy, that's what she said. She might be fooling us all."

He cautiously said.

Chief Lee, who looked at him with bulging eyes, laughed.

"You must be really feeling the aftereffects of Son Chaeyoung. Isn't this considered trauma?"

Chief Lee clicked his tongue and massaged Chief Jo's lean shoulders.

Chief Jo opened and closed his mouth a few times at his reaction but sighed in the end.

"… It's just what I think. She's safe because the safety pin's still on."

He looked at Lee Songha and Jung Sunwoo again and added,

"If we pull the safety pin, I think she'll be worse than Son Chaeyoung."

{1} A verse from Matthew 6:3

Jung Sunwoo was an average man. He had just taken his first job at W&U, a celebrity management company, as a manager. He could finally achieve his dream of being the manager of a world-famous actor or actress. On his way to work, he fell into what appeared to be a lucid dream about his future. As he went on with his day, he realized it may not have simply been a lucid dream.

Hey guys SakuraMoon here this is a a novel that I translated but if you want to see the original RAW's here you go :)

"I hope I could get a hand with this rank 1 topic, a quick interview of these players should be enough! If not, rank 2 is also fine. I'm sure they will not reject an interview session with me." Jing Jing muttered while running some background check of her target. She searched different site about the Chronos squad, however, there was only a little information she could read about the group.
After a few minutes of searching, Jing Jing came to a conclusion that the group had just got their popularity today!
"Impressive! The netizens had really surpassed the influence of the press. They made the issue viral without the help of any publicity from our industry!"
In the past, the press and big companies could only pull off certain issues and make them popular. However, because of technology, the citizens on the internet which were termed 'netizens' had paved their way to becoming more influential just by using their accounts and posting daily topics.
Another video clipped appeared on her feeds. It was the FDS Press Company who were broadcasting their road travel.
"Alright folks, we will start hunting our famous celebrity couple! Our destination will be on the uptown for this morning! Then, we will transfer downtown in the afternoon. Are you ready? Let's do this!" she watched as a woman spoke on the screen and announced the agenda of their company. It was nothing unusual as all the press company would usually have the same agenda.
Jing Jing did not mind too much of what she saw and locked her phone. She then wore her uniform neatly and fixed herself. The pink lipstick she wore accentuated perfectly on her skin. A single spray from her expensive perfume made a finishing touch of her beauty routine.
Carefully, Jing Jing hooked her ID on the chest pocket of her uniform and grabbed her tools. She took one last glance in the mirror and smiled generously.
Not long after, she hopped in her car and quickly drove towards the public gymnasium of the district.
As Jing Jing parked her car, she received a text message from her boss. She ignored her phone and maneuvered the steering wheel to perfectly made parallel parking with the other cars.
After turning off the engine, she swiftly opened her inbox. Her boss informed her that a rival press company was already doing live coverage of the tournament and that the company had gotten a hold of the organizer of the event.
Jing Jing paused and thought for a few seconds about how to respond to the message. Her fingers were lightly tapping on the back cover of her phone while her head was tilted slightly.
Before she could type her response, an incoming call notification appeared on the screen of her phone.
"Hello, Boss Wang!" Jing Jing promptly answered.
"Aiyyaaa, Jing Jing! Where are you? The FDSS Press Company had broadcast a live interview on the organizers of the event!" Boss Wang told her. There was a slight disappointment in his tone of voice.
"Boss Wang, I just arrived at the venue. I am still in the parking lot. Perhaps, the company also saw the viral posts in their social media accounts?" Jing Jing suggested the possibility. She was oblivious of the betrayal from her boyfriend and she could only think of one reason why their rival company had beat their opportunity. There was no other explanation other than the post as it can be seen by anyone.
"Maybe. Jing Jing, you must try your best to find interesting scope. Since the FDSS already has the organizers of the event, maybe you can get hold of the Chronos players?" Boss Wang ordered. He could not also blame Jing Jing or anyone. All he hoped was that they could somehow get another interesting scope in the tournament.
"Yes, Boss Wang. I will try." Jing Jing agreed quickly.
When Jing Jing got out of her car, she immediately went to the entrance of the building. The lady did not need any tickets as she was officially employed in a press company. District 7 had given them certain privileges to get a scope freely in public gatherings and events as the publicity would also be beneficial for the district.
"Good Morning, Ma'am Jing Jing! It is good to see you! Here are some keepsakes you can have for this tournament." the guard politely greeted the lady and handed her a cute brooch as well.
The scribbled words on the item were, "I WAS THERE! District 7 1st Online Tournament"
Jing Jing smiled and took the brooch from the guard. The guard had recognized her right away that he had let her slipped inside without asking for any identification.
"Thank you, brother!" Jing Jing said and quickly move her feet towards the crowd.
Out of the corner of her eyes, she noticed the crew of their rival company that was still interviewing the organizer of the tournament. Her eyes widened in shock and small lines of a frown appeared on her forehead.
There was three staff of the FDSS Press Company. One female interviewer and one cameraman. Then there was another person standing next to the cameraman.
"How could it be?!" Jing Jing balled her palms and formed it into a fist. The female interviewer and the cameraman were the same staff that had once announced that they would be hunting celebrity couples for Valentine's Day!
Jing Jing may be oblivious but she was smart when it comes to distinguishing the overall situation that involved her career. She had been in the press industry for years that she could quickly make insights into what was happening.
There was only for the interviewer and the cameraman appeared in the gymnasium instead of the uptown part of the district. There was someone who had tipped them!
Her gaze darted to the man standing next to the cameraman and her face turned sour. She recognized the man. It was her boyfriend's friend! Although they have not officially introduced, she saw several posts in her boyfriend's account of the two hanging out together with their group of friends.
"Drake you bastard!" Jing Jing cursed coldly. She did not need to be a genius in guessing for her to know what her boyfriend had done! 
The feeling of being betrayed did not fuel sad feelings on her. Instead, it sparked the anger and fury within her heart.
Her phone suddenly rings...
"Speaking of the scum!" Jing Jing mumbled as her phone displayed a notification of an incoming call from her boyfriend.

"I'll show you the ropes of how to build a company from scratch. Soon we will stand at the top."

Lisa Zafira Y. Summers lived a lucrative life as the CEO of Summers Holdings Incorporated in District 2. Yet, in an unfortunate circumstance, her luxurious life ended at the age of 24. She was assassinated!

Her sudden death activated a mysterious system that claimed to have a connection with her maternal ancestors - the Ye Clan. This allowed her soul to randomly transmigrate into the body of a teenager who spent her life playing some online mobile game.

Lisa was set to experience a new life with her previous instincts in business combined with a new identity full of gaming knowledge. Stockholders were replaced with squad members... taking investment risks became launch attack signals... planning new company ventures turned into joining tournaments. Soon enough, she found herself leading her friends on the path towards the business world. This is now the life of Sofia Blanca D. Su aka CEO UNRIVALED.
