From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!
Chapter 337 - 168: Big Trouble Ahead! (Part 1)
Su Jiameng quickly logged onto the interstellar network and entered the keyword "Princess Fusu." The internet was fast, and the results popped up immediately. Staring at the overwhelming variety of news, Su Jiameng was dumbfounded! The strong Transmigration Sister had really stumbled this time!
Princess Fusu’s investment in establishing Tianqi Entertainment Company made it a rising star in recent years within the entertainment industry. There was no shortage of resources for TV dramas, songs, and movies from this "current generation"! Its entertainment ideas were novel and innovative, allowing it to gain a foothold in a small circle for a time.
Later, Princess Fusu was adopted as a foster daughter by the Su Family, and with the Su Family’s backing, she truly developed Tianqi Entertainment Company, continuously increasing its market share. Although Tianqi Entertainment Company appeared to be progressing well, there were immense risks hidden within.
Food must be eaten bite by bite; one cannot become hugely successful overnight. In her past life, Princess Fusu, Su Qixin, was just a dreamer, a high school senior crushed by entrance examinations, with virtually zero social experience and a naive mind. She read novels where heroines easily won over followers, handsome men, and talent, casually establishing multinational corporations to become CEOs and strong women...
The influence of novels on her was too great, so much so that when she crossed into this world, she still had no awareness. Coupled with her terrifying golden finger, she naturally became complacent, doing things based entirely on her interests, almost floating when she walked.
Under these circumstances, the secretively established Tianqi Entertainment Company naturally lacked strict regulations, and its rapid development over a few short years meant it changed almost daily; murky dealings found the best soil to grow and thrived day by day.
If she had been more steady and cautious, and Princess Fusu had been more wary of handing over all her power to so-called loyal servants, many scandals could have been avoided. The high-level people at Tianqi Entertainment Company who had followed Princess Fusu in "entrepreneurship and conquering the world" were originally ordinary people; though they had some skills, their abilities were nothing in front of real talent!
A group of ordinary people—who got rich overnight, propelled to high status by one man’s ascendancy—filled with desires, once in possession of money and power, were always easily blinded by prosperity, forgetting their origins and even abandoning basic conscience and morality!
Su Jiameng clicked on the news links slightly and couldn’t help but gasp. According to the reports, those high-ups had done many heinous things in secret, and most of them had extended their hands towards new, young entrants in the entertainment circle.
Lacking connections and strength, for the sake of their star dreams or other ideals, many newcomers silently accepted such unwritten rules. Even rabbits don’t eat grass near their burrows, but these guys targeted their own artists, which was simply disgusting.
Of course, whether in the Earth Era or Future Interstellar, the entertainment industry has never been a place easy to navigate, let alone clean. In plain terms, it’s a rather chaotic and disorderly circle where some can become instant hits, while others toil their whole lives in obscurity, serving as unseen background figures. As for most stars, unless they have real talent, they mostly rely on their youthful looks.
How long does youth last? Even though in Future Interstellar people live long, and there are medicines to delay aging, how much can this youth be prolonged? Compared to the Earth Era, the entire interstellar is teeming with life. A star’s youth is both precious and cheap.
In this highly competitive circle, one can’t afford to miss any opportunity, lest they be surpassed by newcomers and left defeated on the beach! Those newcomers know there are many opportunities at Tianqi Entertainment Company, but there are also many competitors. To gain more opportunities, even if they dislike being coveted, they silently endure, even if it means just getting that extra interview slot.
The higher-ups further exploited this desire to shine, acting even more outrageously; not only did they fool around with young stars in secret, but they also conspired to open a shady nightclub to entertain people with status and power. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
It’s probably an old bad habit; those with money and power enjoy playing with stars. Whether it’s an unknown newbie or a star whose fame spreads across the interstellar, as long as the other person doesn’t have a strong enough background, just give a high enough price and cost, and the other can be stripped of the star aura and become a delicious feast.
Su Jiameng silently sighed and, putting herself in others’ shoes, didn’t believe that Transmigration Sister had such a dark heart to earn that kind of money. To many innocent young girls, becoming a star is something glorious and honorable. Although Transmigration Sister knows the entertainment circle is chaotic, she would probably try to keep her artists away from this, rather than push them into the fire pit and force them into transactions.
