This Girl Forced to Become an Entertainment Company Boss

Chapter 165



Some calculated the scale of the gifts from various companies and found that they generally exceeded the price of 599.

Fans who were initially hesitant rushed to place orders, fearing they would miss the one-week sale period.

Random Entertainment\'s offerings are limited in time but not in quantity. To ensure the interests of members, even membership cards can only be purchased during the week from April 30th to May 6th each year.

If you miss this year\'s opportunity, you\'ll have to wait until next year to buy an annual card, and you\'ll miss out on many activities this year.

Jiang Liuxing bought her membership card as soon as it was announced. She didn\'t look closely at it; she just wanted to support her sister\'s company. It wasn\'t until she read the membership card instructions that her eyes lit up.

"Non-gacha-friendly card!" This card was made for her.

Random Entertainment\'s tickets can\'t be bought from scalpers; you either rely on luck or speed, and she has neither. Each event is a rare win for her.

This time, she didn\'t attend the Midsummer Night Music Festival not because she had to defend her thesis, but because she wasn\'t selected.

Liu Yue also didn\'t get selected. Zhu Keke didn\'t apply this time because she was busy with interviews as she was about to start her internship.

Jiang Liuxing even mentioned stamping her card, but Zhou Keke wanted to learn something during her internship. After all, one can\'t chase stars forever, and she couldn\'t live in this dream forever. She needed to find a way to support herself, and the first step was to make her internship experience stand out on her resume.

People grow up, and Jiang Liuxing has been increasingly feeling this lately, as her years of student life are coming to an end.

What she misses the most is her freshman year, which was unlike the oppressive high school days. She was happy every day, could earn money by editing short videos at school, and could go out to chase stars on weekends, enjoying complete freedom.

Thinking about her soon-to-end student life, Jiang Liuxing remembered her sister\'s upcoming study abroad.

"Jiang Liuxing: Sister, have you decided on your school?"

After sending the message, she lay back on the sofa, but her phone didn\'t ring for a long time. She guessed her sister was busy and hadn\'t had a chance to check her phone.

Jiang Juyou was indeed too busy to check her phone. She had just finished a meeting at Random Entertainment\'s headquarters and rushed to the airport to fly to Zhuhai.

-

Being in the suburbs, there were no tall buildings here, and the night was dark.

Most of the lights in the music festival area were off, with only the stage lights on.

The five members of Timetrain got off the van and prepared for rehearsal. Yao Shuo, walking at the back, looked up at the night sky and exclaimed, "Wow――"

The sky was like a black cloth covering a light bulb, with countless silver needles poking through it, and stars scattered everywhere, completely different from the sky seen on ordinary nights.

Hearing this exclamation, others around also looked up.

Chi Qiao in front took out his phone and snapped a photo, muttering to himself, "…It really feels like a midsummer night."

The program had been in preparation since early autumn, started shooting in winter, and they had celebrated the New Year, Chinese New Year, seen the first snow, and endured the spring rain together. Now, they were truly returning to the midsummer night.

Upon reaching the stage area, the previous group of artists were still rehearsing, so they waited nearby.

Pei Luming, wandering at the back of the crowd, noticed someone familiar.

"Brother, it\'s Jiang Juyou… Should we go say hello?" Pei Luming whispered to his older brothers.

Jiang Juyou used to be more of a producer, managing several groups and checking in on their progress, but recently, she has taken on more of the role of a company chairman.

The artists rarely see her.

Gao Xiayu saw Jiang Juyou standing with the program\'s producers and stage directors. They should go over and greet her.

Before that, Gao Xiayu informed the nearby staff, and after getting permission, they walked over.

Jiang Juyou and her team were discussing the scene transitions for this stage. The directors and stage designers were passionately arguing about something.

When the five members of Timetrain approached, they heard their heated discussion and hesitated, unsure if they should continue.

Jiang Juyou noticed them first. She was standing at the back with her arms crossed, wearing a thick coat. Seeing the five of them, she waved them over.

"…Good evening, Jiang Juyou, director, teachers."

The five of them greeted everyone one by one, bowing like little chicks pecking at rice.

"Is the next group you?" Jiang Juyou, tired of their argument, turned to talk to them.

Gao Xiayu replied, "Yes, waiting by the stage can save us some time."

Jiang Juyou nodded and looked back at the stage: "…Then go ahead, they\'re done over there."

"Goodbye, Jiang Juyou, we\'re going now… Goodbye, director, teachers." Gao Xiayu led the youngsters in bowing and quickly ran to the stage.

The five of them felt different emotions as they ran.

Previously, due to issues among the five of them, Jiang Juyou had cold-treated them for a while, and they hadn\'t seen her much since.

They were brought up by Jiang Juyou from their trainee days, and they often met during the early days of their debut due to various meetings.

The fear of Jiang Juyou had eased somewhat.

Now, when facing Jiang Juyou, it was less about the fear of a teacher and more about the restraint of an employee facing a superior.

Just now, after greeting her and seeing that Jiang Juyou was still kind to them, they felt a small sense of joy.

During the rehearsal, thinking that Jiang Juyou would be watching, their dance movements were more exaggerated than usual.

Jiang Juyou wasn\'t particularly interested in tonight\'s rehearsal. She heard that they had already rehearsed once in the morning, and tonight\'s rehearsal was just to confirm the scene transitions for tomorrow\'s live broadcast. The artists mostly just went through the motions.

Standing below the stage, her attention wasn\'t on the rehearsal. Her mind was filled with plans and strategies for Random Entertainment\'s future.

"Boss!"

The familiar address and voice brought Jiang Juyou back to reality. She turned to see Lin Jie.

Lin Jie is now not only responsible for Timetrain\'s operations but also for the business planning of the idol department.

On stage, the rehearsal was ongoing. Lin Jie glanced at the five members, confirming they were taking it seriously, before walking over to Jiang Juyou.

"Why are you here too? Have you finished your recent work?" Jiang Juyou has delegated most of her work to Lin Jie, who has been busy for Jiang Juyou and hasn\'t been seen much in the company lately.

Lin Jie linked her arm with Jiang Juyou\'s, enjoying the warmth, "I just got off the plane and came straight here. After all, it\'s a big event for the company this year, so I had to come."

Jiang Juyou felt the same way, which was why she was here.

The temperature difference between day and night is still significant these days, with daytime temperatures soaring to thirty degrees and nighttime dropping to around fifteen degrees.

There was no shelter near the stage, and the wind made it hard to stand still.

The wind almost blew Lin Jie away, "Oh, the wind tonight is so strong!"

"Tomorrow might be better. I heard it\'s going to warm up again."

"Yeah, I checked the weather forecast too. It says there won\'t be any wind tomorrow."

The two fell silent again.

Currently, only Lin Jie knows that Jiang Juyou will be going to study abroad next year. According to Jiang Juyou\'s plan, there\'s no need to announce it publicly, so she has been preparing in advance this year, handing over her work to Lin Jie, so she won\'t be rushed when she leaves next year.

"Boss, will you continue working here after you finish your studies?" Lin Jie is afraid that after Jiang Juyou returns from studying abroad, she will become a hands-off boss, handing the company over to professional managers.

Random Entertainment is growing larger, expanding its market share in the domestic market, and becoming more commercialized.

The human touch of Random Entertainment exists solely because of Jiang Juyou, who holds her own principles.

Lin Jie fears that once the company is taken over by professional managers, it will lose its human touch and become faceless, indistinguishable from other entertainment and film companies.

She looks at Jiang Juyou, hoping for a reassuring answer.

The wind blows Jiang Juyou\'s hair, making her squint, "… I haven\'t decided yet. We\'ll talk about future matters when the time comes."

She doesn\'t want to discuss this topic, so she changes the subject, "This music festival is crucial. Let\'s wait and see the public\'s reaction tomorrow. If this lottery system doesn\'t cause any issues, we\'ll use it for the year-end family concert as well."

"… Will it be reimbursed?" Lin Jie is either startled by the quick shift in topic or by Jiang Juyou\'s idea.

The high-quality albums and merchandise of Random Entertainment, which are priced far below their value, have been criticized by the higher-ups numerous times. The costs are high, yet the prices are low, leaving the company with little profit.

Even when profits are made, Jiang Juyou tends to spend them freely.

"There are several concerts, aren\'t there?" Jiang Juyou looks at her.

This one sentence makes Lin Jie recall some of Jiang Juyou\'s previous ideas about the family concert.

Lin Jie nods, "Yes, there are several."

The higher-ups dare not bring up cost issues in front of Jiang Juyou, simply because she is too adept at making money from fans.

The final event of the year for Random Entertainment is the family concert, which also serves as their New Year\'s Eve gala.

Two days before the New Year\'s Eve concert, there are individual concerts and fan meetings for Random Entertainment\'s artists. Idol groups hold solo concerts, while actors host fan meetings. The venues for those few days are almost entirely booked by Random Entertainment.

In just three days, there are over ten events in total. Except for the New Year\'s Eve event, which uses a lottery system, fans must purchase tickets for the rest.

With tickets and sponsorships, the revenue is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions.

Lin Jie: The boss is still the best at making money.
