This Girl Forced to Become an Entertainment Company Boss-Chapter 3: 0

“What do I need to do now?” Jiang Juyou glanced at the task board. Other than an ongoing newbie task, there were no other tasks left. But that task could only be completed at night, so she couldn't just wait around.

The system reminded her, “You can go submit the documents the school requires now.”

Internship!

“Oh right, right, right, where’s the company’s business license? I need to go make a copy.” Jiang Juyou suddenly remembered that she had real work to do.

“It’s currently at the theater, in your study,” replied the system.

“Where’s the theater?”

-

It wasn’t rush hour now, so there weren’t many people on the subway and there were occasionally a few empty seats. Jiang Juyou sat in the corner and glanced at her family group chat.

“Jiang Liuxing: Sis, have you gotten your internship sorted out? When’s the latest your advisor wants you to hand in your documents? I started a studio, if it comes down to it I can stamp something for you, but I only just submitted my documents today so it might take a few days. @Jiangjuyou”

“Jiang Tang: What kind of studio?”

“Jiang Liuxing: A new media one.”

“Jiang Tang: Huh?”

“Jiang Liuxing: ......An influencer studio.”

“Jiang Liuxing: I started a studio to raise some accounts.”

“Jiang Tang: Where’s the money-making logic in this?”

“Jiang Liuxing: To promote shows. As long as you can plaster enough all over the public eye, you can manufacture top-tier ones too. Propping one of them up will also feed back hype to the fan account, and selling derivative products will be easier later on.”

“Jiang Tang: You’re so ambitious! I’ll work hard to rank higher next year, will you be able to promote me with those top-tier fan accounts of yours on April Fool’s next year?”

“Jiang Liuxing: ......”

“Jiang Liuxing: If you make it onto The Black Blaze Festival I’ll promote you.”

“Jiang Tang: OK! I’ll definitely make it within three years! Gotta go practice now!”

When Jiang Juyou opened the group chat they were chatting about this. Earlier they had been joking around that Jiang Juyou was probably the only one in the family far away from showbiz, but now, it looked like she had joined in too.

She thought about it, then in the end still shared the news with her older and younger sisters.

“Jiangjuyou Sundries Shop: @Jiang Liuxing, no need, I found a job today. From now on all three of us are in the same circle.”

As soon as Jiang Juyou sent this message, the previously quiet group chat became lively again.

“Jiang Liuxing: ?”

“Jiang Tang: ?”

“Jiang Liuxing: Did you get scouted by a talent agent?”

“Jiang Tang: Run away [raising sign]”

“Jiangjuyou Sundries Shop: Got an internship at an entertainment company.”

“Jiang Tang: Are you crazy?”

“Jiang Liuxing: You really do seem crazy. Do you know what interning at an entertainment company means?”

“Jiang Tang: Our #1 trending topic cursed out her assistant for spitting her used gum into their hand the day before yesterday. Do you know that staff are the lowest of the low in this industry? Are you out of your mind?”

The #1 trending topic that Jiang Tang mentioned was her boss's sole stan. Previously, she had always went with the ambitious, career-oriented female idol route, but then the paparazzi caught her doing that at a commercial shoot. The topic trended for an entire afternoon, and antis added fuel to the fire. Within minutes they fabricated seven or eight black materials with shoddily edited photos to keep the topic trending for an afternoon.

Jiang Juyou, who had wanted to explain, suddenly froze up. She had just realized that she hadn’t even asked what the job scope was.

Only just remembering now, Jiang Juyou called out to the system in her heart, “I forgot to ask, what’s my job scope?”

The system answered her, “Your job scope is decided by your tasks.”

“......” That was the same as not saying anything.

“Jiangjuyou Sundries Shop: Don’t worry too much, I'm just an intern.”

“Jiang Tang: I guess so, it’s unlikely they’d let an intern come in contact with celebrities. What if their true face got exposed?”

“Jiang Liuxing: If it really doesn’t work out, come to my place.”

“Jiangjuyou Sundries Shop: I’ll chat more details with you guys after I settle down, I still need to hand in my documents. Going offline first.”

“Jiang Tang: Remember to save up some goss for me to eat.”

“Jiang Liuxing: You haven’t even said which company yet!”

Jiang Juyou, who hadn't exited yet, glanced at the message Jiang Liuxing sent.

“......”

“What’s the company called?” She had just been too excited earlier and hadn’t cared about that.

The system's voice popped up. “Please name the company.”

“It doesn’t have a name yet?” After Jiang Juyou spoke, she remembered the blank line on the contract and realized, “Then I’ll be the boss in the future?”

“Yes, after converting to full-time,” replied the system.

She had almost forgotten that she hadn't graduated yet.

But she was still very happy about this—at least life had prospects now. She hummed a little tune and continued the topic from earlier. “The company name...just randomly pick something.” She wanted the system to randomly choose something to fill in there. It would definitely be better than her skills at naming things.

“Understood. The name Random Entertainment Company has been inputted,” said the system.

Jiang Juyou closed her eyes. She should've realized earlier, when it had said, “Haha, how could that be?”

The subway announcer rang to indicate arrival at the station. Jiang Juyou immediately regained her senses, picked up her bag, and prepared to get off.

The company was near the East Third Ring Road. It only took ten minutes to walk there from the subway exit, but that wasn’t even the main point. The main point was that it had its own plot of land. Not only did it have its own building, there was also a theater. Other than those two buildings, her phone screen also displayed another unlocked building right next to the company building.

Just selling this plot of land alone would earn quite a bit of money.

As Jiang Juyou followed the navigation to her destination, upon seeing the actual faces of those buildings, the light in her eyes dimmed a little.

“......This building isn't even finished yet!” She was referring to the one called the company building. Even the three-story building next to it was surrounded by green construction site barriers, still looking under construction.

The system spoke up. “Haha, how could that be? You just haven't unlocked it yet.”

“......”

She glanced at the map on the system app. It showed that the theater was behind those two buildings, and there was an extremely wide corridor between the two buildings that could even be called a small plaza.

Jiang Juyou walked forward a bit holding her phone, and saw that corridor.

Smack in the middle of the near 10-meter wide road was a white, acrylic-looking sign about the company name “Random Entertainment Company” blocking the way.

She pointed at the sign. “How do I get past this?”

Right after Jiang Juyou finished speaking, mechanical movement sounds emitted from beneath the sign. The next second, the six big words slowly tilted to the side to leave some small passages for people to go through.

She understood—this was the ticket checkpoint for entry.

Upon approaching, it was indeed as Jiang Juyou had guessed. The sides of those words all had a scanning port, and there were even NFC ports. You just had to tap the checkpoint for it to open.

But there was no need for that now since the checkpoints weren’t closed.

Jiang Juyou was convinced now. “The 2 million really was worth it.”

For some reason, the system didn't chime in this time.

She had only swept her eyes around the entrance briefly before entering the theater interior. Compared to the lavish exterior design throwing money around, the inside was like an unfinished concrete building.

"No, why is this place made of cement?" Jiang Juyou had never been to a theater or concert before, but in her mind, such places would definitely not have cement floors, let alone appear undecorated.

She didn't even wait for the system to answer before responding to her own question, "...Don't tell me I have to pay to unlock all this?"

"Yes," the system replied.

"So that means the electronic screen and lockers outside also can't be used until I unlock them?"

"Yes."

"..."
