Chapter 709: Chapter 709: One Year Later, an Artist Disappears

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

At Shengshi High School, the once prominent figures have all graduated.

A new batch of freshmen enters the school, bringing with them expectations and ambitions.

The senior graduates, too, have found their own paths.

Some have returned to their families to take on family businesses, while others have ventured out to carve their own careers.

A small group, due to their family’s powerful backgrounds, has directly stepped into government positions.

Every student who walks out of Shengshi Academy starts from a rather high point, and their achievements are something that ordinary people can only look up to with awe.

Gu Jin has suddenly become a junior in college. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

However, she rarely goes to school.

She is too busy.

Shijiu Entertainment Company.

Gu Jin sits at the head of the spacious and large conference room, discussing with others about the arrangements of the company’s artists and the need for fresh blood in the company.

"Bang!"

The conference room door is forcefully pushed open from the outside, slamming against the wall with a loud crash.

Everyone turns their attention because of the disturbance.

At the door of the conference room stands a middle-aged man, his face anxious and eyes filled with a look of unease and panic.

Gu Jin glances indifferently at him, lowers her eyes, and organizes the documents on the table before her.

Her calm voice rings out: "Why such recklessness, what’s happened?"

The middle-aged man, who is the agent of the company artist Mo Leen.

He swallows, his voice hoarse: "Mo Leen is missing."

Gu Jin raises her eyes, a sharp light piercing through: "What do you mean by ’missing’?"

"We sent her home the day before yesterday, but since then, we haven’t been able to contact her for a whole day and night. We’ve asked everyone close to her, and no one knows where she’s gone."

The man standing at the conference room door speaks in a low voice.

Gu Jin slams the documents she is holding onto the table, her face showing anger: "What kind of an agent are you! Shouldn’t you have a clear understanding of the whereabouts of your artist?!"

She is extremely angry at the moment, thinking of an old incident.

Her cousin has never recovered from Minmin’s sacrifice, rarely involving himself in the company’s matters.

Over the past year, Gu Jin has been in charge of Shijiu Entertainment Company, so busy she doesn’t even have time to attend school.

A few days ago, she accompanied Cheng Shi’en to Cannes, where their work was nominated. Although it didn’t win, it did gain some visibility.

Before returning to the country, they had secured an endorsement for Mo Leen with a high-end foreign brand.

Today’s meeting was also for everyone to discuss Mo Leen’s future development plans.

Recently, she has been filming a joint venture adventure-action movie by Hong Kong Media and Shijiu Entertainment Company, into which both companies have invested heavily, aiming for it to win awards.

The movie is only half-shot, and Mo Leen has disappeared.

Perhaps others don’t know what happened to Mo Leen, but Gu Jin vaguely has an impression.

Mo Leen, who is beautiful and has a pure appearance, played the lead female role in "Criminal Investigation Files" in her past life, being the only female character who survived contact with the male lead throughout the series.

She rose to fame with this TV series, becoming an overnight sensation.

Unfortunately, in her previous life, she didn’t become extremely popular or a household name.

Just because, in her previous life, "Criminal Investigation Files" only became well-known more than ten years later, and the series was even cut short several times due to funding issues.

In this life, with Gu Jin’s support, Cheng Shi’en managed to film it in one go and even won an award.

Mo Leen became a major star, with the company planning a ’girl-next-door’ image for her.
