This Girl Forced to Become an Entertainment Company Boss

Chapter 174

On her first day back at work, Jiang Juyou suspected that the "gift" she received was timed to perfection.

The paparazzi, wearing a mask in the live stream, had just finished spilling the beans when netizens across various platforms were already in position, fearing they might miss a thing, and marketing accounts quickly dropped their previous topics to rush out a video on this explosive revelation.

The internet was in an uproar. Random Entertainment, previously hailed as the "Peach Blossom Spring of the entertainment industry," had recently gained a significant boost in popularity for its artists, along with Random iWatch, which had seen its value rise as a result.

Just as netizens finished praising the company, this scandal erupted, creating a stark contrast that left everyone caught off guard.

"Not everyone believes what the paparazzi says, right? Can't we wait for Random Entertainment's response?"

“It feels like Jiang Juyou is being targeted. Why are so many people criticizing her in the trending topics? The reaction wasn't like this last week.”

"I've heard this rumor before. She's cunning, making her sister shoulder all the debts."

"Are Jiang Juyou and Jiang Tang really sisters? I must have been offline."

"My focus is on the timeline. How could two young sisters possibly have so much debt? It doesn't make sense."

"Just spill it all. What's with revealing only half of it?"

"Random Entertainment, you're really popular now. Someone's out to get you. The rest of the story hasn't even been fabricated yet..."

Crazy. Targeting Jiang Juyou? Her fans are always battling with the fans of the cyborg and the four gods. Their combat power is extraordinary.

"I heard the rumor that Jiang Juyou killed someone in a car accident when she was underage, and her sister took the blame. (I'm just repeating what I saw; I don't vouch for its truth.)

"Just by clicking in, you can see the average intelligence level of our country. People believe anything."

"Those trying to muddy the waters and slander Jiang Juyou, and those spreading rumors, screenshots have been saved. I'll send them to Random Entertainment's legal team soon."

"With this kind of commotion, I don't believe it's just a coincidence."

Internet rumors are like sparks that quickly ignite the entire forest. People outside the forest are worried for those inside, while Jiang Juyou, at the heart of the fire, remains calm in her office, sipping tea.

The PR and public opinion team staff sit on the sofa, looking far from anxious.

"...This first day back at work has kept everyone so busy. I really feel a bit sorry," Jiang Juyou said, setting down her tea.

Having prepared various contingency plans, the team members smiled, and the public opinion group's leader glanced around, his eyes filled with excitement. "It's fine. I bet they'll be busier than us soon."

At that moment, Jiang Juyou's phone buzzed. She picked up her phone from the sofa and saw a message from Yang Siyu.

"Yang Siyu: What's going on online? It seems like they're well-prepared to target you."

"Yang Siyu: This tactic feels familiar. Have your company check which black dogs Yang RPing's company has been hanging out with recently."

"Jiang Juyou: Thanks, but don't worry. It's not a big deal."

"Yang Siyu: Why is he still as disgusting as ever?"

"Jiang Juyou: Arrogant people always think others' success is because they took something from them."

"Yang Siyu: Let me know if you need help."

"Jiang Juyou: I actually do need your help. You'll know soon. Just give some likes to the posts from marketing accounts."

"Yang Siyu: Alright."

Most netizens still believed in Jiang Juyou's character, but Random Entertainment's slow response began to erode that trust.

"Now I'm starting to waver. Three hours have passed, and there's still no response... Random Entertainment usually responds within three hours."

"Even at midnight, they could respond within three hours. Why not now?"

"Don't tell me it's collapsing. My favorite artist is still under Random Entertainment."

"Looks like it's turning into a legal company."

After sending her employees off, Jiang Juyou sat on the office sofa, busy calming her friends and family, assuring them not to worry and not to say anything publicly.

Just as she finished replying to everyone and was about to click on her sister's lengthy voice message, her phone rang again.

"Sister! What's going on online?"

"Is your company prepared? Should I step in to explain?"

"I'm so anxious. Why don't you just issue a statement? Otherwise, the direction of the discussion will change!"

Jiang Liuxing was as restless as an ant on a hot pan. She was even more anxious than her two older sisters. She had just called her second sister, but she didn't answer. In her haste, she called her eldest sister, who was in the middle of filming, and it was her assistant who picked up.

In that short span of time, she had already developed a mouth ulcer from her anxiety.

After she finished her long rant, Jiang Juyou slowly spoke, "...Why are you so anxious? It's not a big deal. It's not like what's being said online is true. You know the truth, don't you?"

It's clear how good Jiang Juyou's reputation is in the industry.

But today's prepared content wasn't just this. While everyone on Weibo was busy feeling sorry for Jiang Juyou, a post quietly appeared on the forum.

“Title: Gossip Discussion/Shh, I'm quietly dropping some pics, you decide what to do.”

“Insider here. Someone messaged me a long time ago, exposing the hangover pills stuff, but the evidence they provided was very vague, so I didn't take it.”

“The highlight is up to you to find.”

The posted images were those sent to Random Entertainment by marketing accounts before the incident. The highlight in the images was the historical records, showing a promotion for a group under Yang RPing's company. Going further up, almost all the records were related to Yang RPing's company.

Besides this small account with a numerical nickname, there were many other small accounts.

The forum immediately became chaotic.

“Wow, looks like the value of our house in the forum is going to go up again.”

“I can't believe... buying blacklisting terms for other companies actually exists.”

“The idols under his company are truly innocent victims.”

“Real business warfare is indeed so disgusting and simple.”

As this post became popular, the information in it quickly spread, leading to its locking.

But soon, others began posting exposés, and more and more information was dug up.

Two images in particular shocked everyone. One small account's bound phone number's last four digits were identical to Yang RPing's phone number's last four digits.

“...Damn.”

“I'm truly disgusted. I already found it disgusting when he was pushing the hangover pills.”

“Where are the dream girls who were defending Yang RPing earlier? Come out and take a few steps.”

“I'm so shocked. I thought it was his company's issue, but it turns out Yang RPing was personally involved?”

“Maybe today's stuff was even submitted by Yang RPing himself.”

“Even though he might not be detained for long, I still hope he goes in for a bit.”

The news spread very quickly, especially since everyone was off work and glued to their phones, making Yang RPing's name quickly rise to the hot search.

Some industry insiders liked the marketing account's post, making the matter even more credible.

Netizens didn't expect the direction of this morning's gossip to go this way.

Just being embroiled in controversy wasn't enough. Jiang Juyou chose to post during the evening rush hour to completely destroy Yang RPing, ideally ensuring he could never return to the industry.

Not only was he being petty and spreading rumors about Jiang Juyou online, but his buying of blacklisting terms for other artists was also exposed.

This was just one aspect. He falsified profits to attract investments, intentionally underreported the revenue from his artists' concerts to evade taxes, and secretly transferred assets abroad without informing investors. All of this was exposed tonight.

It's not clear who's targeting whom.

In front of his company employees, Yang RPing was taken away by official personnel.

The excitement of today's big gossip can be considered one of the most spectacular in years, even more thrilling than those cases of artists evading taxes.

Jiang Liuxing, who was furiously clicking the mouse in the studio until it was sparking, still took the time to send his sister a thumbs up.

It was truly amazing.

“Jiang Liuxing: [Thumbs up]”

“Jiang Liuxing: My sister indeed doesn't fight unprepared battles.”

“Jiang Liuxing: I'm so impressed.”

The sudden incident meant that it was unreasonable for Random Entertainment to prepare a response and evidence within three hours. To make this believable to the outside world, they intentionally dragged out the time, making everyone think they were preparing evidence.

The longer the time dragged on, the higher the heat, and the stronger the backlash.

With Yang RPing's downfall, Linghe Securities immediately issued a statement, announcing the withdrawal of investment and shares, and filed a lawsuit against his company.

After this series of events, Yang RPing would find it very difficult to return to the industry.

Especially with just a five-hundred-yuan fine, which might make Yang RPing feel even more humiliated.

Jiang Juyou, who was a bit late getting off work, was currently stuck in traffic while driving. She listened to music, humming a tune, in an exceptionally good mood.

Jiang Liuxing: That's enough to feel satisfied!!!
