Chapter 15: 015 Li Zhan

Author: You Yi Machine Translation

A week had passed since meeting Miss Li. Xiwan had gradually forgotten about the matter.

As she finished setting the questions, she began thinking about how to enter the entertainment industry again.

If she remembered correctly, every November the major agencies would cooperate with the television stations to organize an event: the National University Beauty Contest.

It was a good opportunity to quickly enter the industry and gain a large number of fans. However, entertainers who came from the talent show industry would often become popular but only for so long. There were evergreen actors, but very few. No matter how high-class they tried to make themselves, they could never rid themselves of their grassroots association. The hearts of the public always tasted the flavor of his hometown. Moreover, actors and entertainers with more formal backgrounds did not always approve of those who came from talent shows. It was very difficult for them to survive.

Another method was to send her resume to an agency. She had been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years. In fact, she only cared about companies with financial strength. She had some impressions in her heart, but she did not care much about how many agencies there were in the industry. After all, at that time, she was certain that she would never change jobs and that she would stay at Huafeng media for her entire life.

Huafeng Media was the management company of her predecessor. And the CEO of Huafeng Media, Lin Xi, had been her lover. No, he was just her financier, the financier that she had accidentally fallen in love with.

At that time, she was so stupid that she thought if she did not spend his money, she would not be a mistress, but a lover. She was so stupid that she had thought that they would be together for the rest of their lives.

What a big joke.

Of course, she did not want to go to Huafeng Media again in this lifetime. Since she did not want to go to Huafeng Media, she would go to one of its rival companies. However, in her impression, there were not so many companies that could rival Huafeng Media. After all, it was a veteran economic company that had been operating for more than 50 years. It was said to be a giant in the industry.

After thinking for a while, she vaguely remembered Lin Xi talking about Sky Shadow Media Company, under the Sky Shadow Group. It was a strong opponent, even though the company had only started six years ago.

The other company's CEO, if she remembered correctly, was called Li Zhan.

Li Zhan was the kind of man, like an emperor, who could be called the favored Son of Heaven. In fact, he was at the center of a family who were all favored by heaven.

His grandfather had been the founding father of the country, and even though he was retired, his influence in the government was still very strong. His father, Li Yuwei, often appeared on the central government's seven o'clock news on television. His mother, Zheng Yinyin, was once an unrivaled beauty in the entertainment industry and a grand slam movie queen. She was also the only sister of the current CEO of the Zheng Group, one of the world's top 500 companies. She was thought of by many to be the true goddess of the entertainment industry.

To think, Li Zhan's father was so famous, it had a lot to do with marrying a true entertainment industry goddess.

Li Zhan himself was definitely not a profligate, nor the kind of son who relied on his father. He graduated from the Finance Department's Research Institute at Stanford, and whilst still a student, he single-handedly founded the Sky Shadow Group. In just a few short years, he had built the company's scale and status to be on par with the old behemoth, Huafeng Media Group.

Lin Xi and Lin Zhan were both big shots in the industry. One was from a wealthy family while the other was from a noble family, and because they were both young, they were often compared. Female celebrities especially enjoyed such discussions. During banquets and events, they would gather together to gossip. The ones who were most talked about were these young masters from wealthy families, especially the ones who were handsome, successful in their careers, and extraordinary in their abilities. There were a few men to discuss who were powerful, handsome, and extraordinary in equal measure. However, the female celebrities often mentioned a certain two men more the most.

Although she had not participated in their topics of conversation, there were still some places where she had to be polite. When she was bored during banquets, she listened to them gossip and to passs the time she sometimes interrupted them by saying, "Eh? Really? Is that so?"

Therefore, although she had never seen what Li Zhan looked like, she was still familiar with his information. After all, he was Lin Xi's only strong rival.

Yes, Li Zhan did not often attend cocktail parties and public places. Most of the photos taken by the media were profile pictures. The only candid photos left were the cute childhood photos posted on his mother's Weibo account.

She had a friend who worked for the Sky Shadow Group. According to her, in the three years that she had worked there, she could count the number of times she'd seen her boss, Li Zhan, on one hand. All the sightings had been from afar, but she had told Xiwan that she was sure her boss was a super handsome man.

She was thinking hard and drawing absentmindedly when an unknown number suddenly flashed on her phone.

She picked it up. "Hello?"

"Jiang Xiwan, are you crazy? Why did you change your number?" A high-pitched female voice yelled.

"Who are you?" Xiwan couldn't recognize the owner of the voice.

"You... You..."

The other party hung up.

Xiwan sighed.

Before long, the phone vibrated again. It was the same number.

"It's Li Yan, Li Yan, Li Yan! " Miss Li was furious. She didn't stop for Xiwan to speak and continued to shout, "I've already helped you with the blacklist, but your sister actually changed her number. It took a lot of effort to find you. How hidden are you? You're already a senior, why did you change your number!"

Li Yan was very angry. She wanted to show off her ability, but it had taken her two days to get Jiang Xiwan's number. It was simply too much!

"Oh, thank you."

"... That's it?" Miss Li was burning with anger.

And then...

"Jiang Xiwan! This is how you thank me?"

Xiwan could imagine the gorgeous beauty's flushed and angry face. She couldn't help but laugh. "I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

Miss Li was tickled. "I'll choose the address!"

"Okay."

After hanging up, Xiwan saved Li Yan's number.

Actually, that day, she had only teased Miss Li's pride. After all, looking at her overbearing manner, she was reminded of herself in the past. She also didn't really think that Li Yan's promise would be worth much. Her friends had told her that Li Yan didn't like her very much. However, they also said that Li Yan had never made trouble with her, which was strange. She would, at most, harrumph and roll her eyes at Xiwan.

She did not expect that a week later, she would actually take the initiative to call her to tell her that the matter had been resolved.

She really did not care if she was on the television station's blacklist or not. This was because she wasn't interested in simply getting a hosting license to work in the future. Instead, she wanted to swim in the muddy waters of the industry's inner circle.

She wanted to return the pain that Su Nuanyu had inflicted on her body a thousand times over.

She couldn't wait to see Su Nuanyu's expression when she found out that she was not dead, but had returned to life to exact revenge upon her.
