After the big incident in the Song family, with Elder Brother Song arrested and Grandpa Song in critical condition after emergency treatment, the huge Song Corporation did not fall into chaos.
Song JinXing took harsh measures, first suppressing the news of Song Xinwen's arrest and not letting it ferment wildly. The grievances of prominent families have always been watched curiously by the outside world. Song JinXing did not want his parents to become the talk of the outside world. Lying underground, they should not be disturbed again. The law will give them an explanation.
At the same time, with the news suppressed and spreading only in a small range, there was not too much impact on the Song Corporation's stock.
In addition, Song JinXing's prestige within the group and Zhong Ruanxing's care for the employees during her tenure, this combination of grace and might held together, and the entire group was very obedient and respectful to Chairman Song, even if they heard some rumors, it only made them work harder for the company.
With feelings like "Oh my, the dignified Chairman Song actually had such a painful childhood, it makes one love him even more" and so on...
In short, the Song family did not fall into chaos, the group did not collapse, and everything was still thriving.
Song Xinwen’s shares and the subsidiaries he was in charge of were taken back by Song JinXing, except for the shares that belonged to Song Jiaci and Song Jiawei. The Big Room no longer had any interests or status in the Song family.
On the contrary, after this incident, Song Jingwu finally completely gave up the idea of contending for power with Song JinXing. He took the initiative to hand over the subsidiary projects he was in charge of, then returned to the headquarters to help Song JinXing share the responsibilities of important departments, officially becoming a high-level executive who took orders from him.
Grandpa Song also got out of life-threatening danger after emergency rescue, but the sudden heart attack still caused tremendous damage to his already weakening health. He could only stay in the hospital for continued treatment. It was also because of this that, as an accomplice who had concealed the facts of the crime that year, Song JinXing applied for him to be released on bail, sparing him the suffering of imprisonment.
He spent most of the time in a coma, and the few times he was awake, he just lay in bed looking at the sky outside the window in silence.
Song JinXing and Song Shuling visited him in the hospital every few days. They still called him Grandpa and were still filial and respectful to him, but Grandpa Song could feel that something was gone and would never be possessed again.
But at least the Song family did not fall apart as he had feared before. With the time bomb Song Xinwen removed, it was actually more united.
Grandpa Song thought that at least now, when he went underground to meet his son and daughter-in-law, he would not lack the qualifications to ask for their forgiveness.
The day after Grandpa woke up, Zhong Ruanxing accompanied Song JinXing to the cemetery to visit his parents.
The couple on the tombstone were still very young. Song JinXing's eyes looked like his mother's, but his nose and face shape followed his father's, inheriting the best features of both parents. The black and white photos showed two very cheerful people. Song JinXing squatted down and gently wiped the dust off the tombstone.
"Dad, Mom, this is Zhong Ruanxing. If you can see me, you must have met her long ago."
Zhong Ruanxing put the flowers in front of the tombstone. Unlike her usual silly demeanor, her expression was particularly serious: "Uncle and Auntie, although I greeted you in the family portrait earlier, let me formally introduce myself now. I am your son's girlfriend and I will be his wife and family in the future. Don’t worry, I will take good care of him!"
Song JinXing smiled at her serious little expression.
Looking at his mother's gentle eyes on the tombstone, he remembered that many years ago, she teased him on purpose: What kind of girl will our Xingxing like when he grows up?
He said softly in his heart: Mom, do you see, this is the girl I like. You must like her too. No one doesn’t like her.
He had a lot to say to his parents.
He wanted to say, Dad and Mom, I'm sorry it took me so long to get justice for you. I'm sorry I didn't take good care of Shuling and almost let her go astray. I'm sorry I was almost deceived by illusions and lingered in a barren world, giving up my own life.
But in the end, all the words turned into one sentence: "Dad and Mom, I will live well." He held Zhong Ruanxing's hand and repeated: “I will live well with Star from now on.”
It was a promise to his parents, and in front of his parents, a promise to his star.
...
When the big incident in the Song family ended, Zhong Ruanxing's vacation also ended.
When they first swapped identities, she was still an unknown little celebrity with black history tangled around her. But now, she has become the hottest first-line artist of the company with four bodyguards around her when going out! Well, although the company only signed her as the one and only artist.
Tianyao Entertainment’s employees really didn’t expect that the high price Chairman Song spent to dig them from other companies was actually just to promote Zhong Ruanxing alone!!!
They rack their brains every day to scout new artists and discover potential stocks for the Chairman, but Chairman Song doesn’t even take a look! Every weekly meeting he has to brainwash them repeatedly: "The company will not sign anyone else before Zhong Ruanxing is promoted to the first-tier top-flow in the entertainment industry!"
Now they finally understand. What Chairman Song who gave up billions in family assets to start his own business? He’s just a braindead fan of Zhong Ruanxing!
A blind fan who looks down on everyone except Zhong Ruanxing!
Tianyao Entertainment's approach also shocked competitors. Every day they were guarding against Tianyao poaching their artists and expanding their strength. They didn't expect Tianyao to just stick with Zhong Ruanxing and ignore everyone else!
No company had ever seen such an approach of investing all resources on one artist!
But Zhong Ruanxing was giving the company face! With her own power, she shouldered the burden of the entire company. After the broadcast of Floating Voice Song, she steadily sat in the first-tier little flower position. Following that, this year's S++ project of Penguin Film and Television also officially announced Zhong Ruanxing as the leading actress, acting alongside Xiao Wei, who has two Best Actor awards after ten years in the industry with both popularity and acting skills.
As soon as the announcement came out, apart from Xingchen and Zhong Ruanxing’s passerby fans, the fans of other little flowers almost went crazy with jealousy.
Penguin’s S++ project! Best Actor Xiao Wei! Either one of these two buffs alone would be enough for the little flowers in the circle to fight desperately. Now the double buffs are stacked together!!! As a newcomer to first-tier this year, what virtue or ability does Zhong Ruanxing have to get such good resources!
They were dissatisfied! They were jealous! They were insanely jealous!
The S++ project will not start until the Lunar New Year next year. Before that, Zhong Ruanxing announced another new variety show. This was her second variety show after participating in Love Instinct, and it was the annual travel variety show Travel Landscape Season on Kiwifruit Video.
With one season per year, the invited guests were always popular artists. With the world as the blueprint, the scenic theme was different every season. Apart from taking the audience to appreciate the scenery all over the world, the main thing was that this travel show pulled stunts. Lots of inside gossip was exposed on this show, with very high topics and traffic. It was a show that people in the circle both loved and hated.
For the audience, they could not only see landscapes they might not be able to visit in their lifetime, but also enjoy the various performances of popular artists on the reality show, and maybe even hear gossip explosions. It was simply a ratings killer!
Up till now, Travel Landscape Season was already in its third season. Zhong Ruanxing was invited to participate in the recording of the fourth season. When the guest list was announced, the competitors who had not yet recovered from the previous blow received the second shock!
Ahhh!!! Zhong Ruanxing again!!! What makes her so qualified!
Because of these two major projects, Zhong Ruanxing's popularity recently reached its peak. Coupled with Tianyao Entertainment's strategy of exclusively supporting and promoting Zhong Ruanxing alone, those who were upset by Zhong Ruanxing’s success became restless again.
Maybe it was also because Xue Qishen had been busy recently fighting an economic lawsuit against an listed company, and seldom appeared in public, giving the anti-fans the illusion that "I can do it again."
Gradually, posts questioning who exactly was Zhong Ruanxing’s backer appeared online.
The anti-fans were quite cautious this time. They first investigated the founder of Tianyao Entertainment, discovered Song Shuling’s identity, connected it to the two Song endorsements that suddenly appeared when Zhong Ruanxing was still an unknown, and inferred that Zhong Ruanxing’s meteoric rise to stardom was indeed related to the top management of the Song Corporation.
The rumor of "Top Executives of Song Corporation" has existed from the beginning. It has always been hushed up inexplicably. Now that it surfaces again, it gains more credibility indeed. After all, whenever there are scandals about Zhong Ruanxing, there are always shadows of the "Top Executives of Song Corporation"!
Just who is this "Top Executive of Song Corporation"?
Good question. The top executives of Song Corporation were also confused at the Monday meeting, looking at each other:
- Is it you? Or you? Or you?
- It's not me! Don't look at me! I'm married!
- Why are you looking at me? I'm 60 years old! Does this make any sense?
As Zhong Ruanxing has gained popularity recently, the topic of "Top Executive of Song Corporation" has also provoked extensive discussions. Even the company's employees are talking about this privately. To some extent, this has affected the image of Song Corporation.
The Minister of Public Relations Department, who is responsible for the company's image, seriously raised this issue at the Monday meeting: "I hope that all colleagues can strictly restrain their personal conduct so as not to affect the company's image because of themselves! Mr. Song JinXing, this is my report today!"
Sitting at the head was Song JinXing. Looking at the PPT report, there was an inexplicable smile on his face: "Well, I need to respond to this matter."
The Minister of Public Relations was stunned and showed an embarrassed look: "Mr. Song JinXing, if we respond externally, the topic might ferment even more. The public has always been most interested in this kind of gossip news. I suggest it's best to let the colleague involved restrain..."
Song JinXing interrupted: "It's me."
Minister of Public Relations: "???"
Top Executive of Song Corporation: "???"
So we've been taking the fall for you all this time???
