Editor: Henyee Translations
Afterward, the trainees sought to raise objections, but Tiansheng Media swiftly silenced them.
Facing astronomical penalties and company threats, the trainee considered terminating her contract.
She had been on the brink of debut, poised to realize her dreams after years of hard work. Yet, by blocking someone else’s path, she found herself reduced to nothing more than a pawn in a game of favoritism with capital.
With no recourse left, the trainee resorted to slashing her wrists one fateful night.
She left behind a testament of her grievances, but her social media accounts were controlled by her manager. In the end, her will and her tragic demise were suppressed, leaving no impact.
The manager at the time was Yan Xi’s current manager.
Five years earlier, Yan Xi had heard whispers of rumors but had learned early on to tread cautiously in the industry.
This time, driven by her mission to unearth dirt on Tiansheng Media, she used hypnosis on her manager to uncover the full truth behind the trainee’s suicide.
With Zhaofeng Entertainment stoking the flames, the scandal spread rapidly, leaving Tiansheng Media scrambling to contain the crisis.
The executives had long sought to reform the entertainment industry, so they seized this opportunity to set a precedent.
Consequently, when Tiansheng Media came under investigation, President Zhang, Miss Zhang, Yan Xi’s manager, and others were all suspended.
Amidst this turmoil, Yan Xi chose to terminate her contract with Tiansheng Media and withdraw from the girl group talent show.
This sparked a range of reactions online.
Some fans questioned why she would leave the show when her debut seemed assured. Others criticized her for seeming ungrateful, suggesting she abandoned ship as the company faced trouble.
To address these concerns, Yan Xi conducted a live broadcast on the Grape app, using her newly created account since her previous ones were controlled by her manager.
During the live stream, Yan Xi began by playing a recorded message.
That day, when the sleazy manager took her to a restaurant for drinks, she had brought along a recording device.
She was well aware of the manager’s intentions and anticipated he might coerce her into drinking or even attempt to subject her to the industry’s unspoken rules. Thus, she had prepared the recording device to gather evidence.
Her goal was to prove herself as the victim and sway public opinion in her favor when she eventually terminated the contract.
Knowing she still had a future in the entertainment industry, she was determined not to allow herself to be compromised.
However, her precautions didn’t foresee an unexpected turn of events.
Despite being cautious and refraining from consuming any tea or drinks in the private room, she underestimated the manager’s cunning and found herself drugged.
Thankfully, she managed to flee the private room with all her strength and encountered Fu Mingxiu, who came to her aid.
During the live-stream, Yan Xi opened up about her challenging past and the harrowing experience of nearly being violated, evoking sympathy from her audience.
Simultaneously, she portrayed Zhaofeng Entertainment as her savior through thick and thin, setting the stage for her future endeavors with the company.
This narrative resonated with netizens, prompting widespread support for her decision to terminate the contract with Tiansheng Media.
“Isn’t Tiansheng Media going too far? This young lady has been hidden away for so long.”
“Those criticizing Yan Xi for betrayal should see what Tiansheng Media did to her. If she hadn’t terminated the contract, who knows what she might have been forced into.”
“Ungrateful? She’s choosing light over darkness!”
Of course, this shift in public opinion was also a result of Zhaofeng Entertainment’s effective public relations efforts.
Naturally, they spared no expense in supporting Yan Xi at this critical juncture.
Yan Xi further clarified her decision to withdraw from the girl group talent show during the live stream, stating, “I’m grateful for the opportunity to connect with everyone and showcase my talents.”
“It’s just that I feel I don’t deserve this debut spot. I think everyone must have known me initially through marketing articles like ‘Little Gu Yang.’”
“Speaking of which, it’s quite amusing. I’m actually older than Gu Yang, but the company insisted on portraying me as younger to fit their marketing strategy for Gu Yang.”
“I decided to give up my chance to debut in a group because I want everyone to have a chance to know the real me again.”
“My name is Yan Xi. I’m not a fairy tale character or a lady. I’m just a quirky girl navigating a tough life with optimism.”
During the live broadcast, a bullet screen suddenly floated past:
Yangyang: [Everyone is unique. Yan Xi is also special. Welcome to Zhaofeng Entertainment~]
