Chapter 289 Reform Success
Fu Linchuan waited outside Ye's house until dark.

During this time, the rain came and stopped, stopped and came again. He was like a tree growing there, regardless of the wind and rain, but still standing straight, tall and unyielding.

Ye Xi watched him from the window as long as he stood outside. He didn't go in, and she didn't come out. The two of them were in a stalemate. During this period, the Ye family came to see him several times, but each time they just shook their heads and left.

The system has been hastily taken offline.

When she asked the last question, the system seemed to have suddenly been freed from some kind of restriction and went offline without any warning. It was unclear whether it was because it was too guilty to answer her, or because of some restriction that prevented it from answering her.

In short, it fled in a shameful and embarrassed manner, and might not appear in front of her again for a long time.

Rainy nights are darker than ordinary nights. The moon's light cannot penetrate the clouds and the stars have disappeared.

Including tonight, Fu Linchuan had been standing outside the gate of the Ye residence for nearly 24 hours. Even though he was in good physical condition, he couldn't help but shiver a few times in the night wind.

Ye Xi picked up the ginger tea that Mrs. Zhang had brought to dispel the cold, and glanced outside when she was about to drink it.

"Send him a bowl too."

He actually fainted at the door and had to be taken to the hospital.

Mrs. Zhang thought she was finally moved by Fu Linchuan, and happily agreed: "I'll go right away. If the son-in-law knew about it, he would definitely be very happy."

Ye Xi: “.”

Ye Xi continued to stand by the window, holding the ginger tea in her hand. The steam from the hot tea made the glass misty. She could only put down the ginger tea and push the glass open to leave a little gap.

It was also at this time that she saw Mrs. Zhang walking up to Fu Linchuan with an umbrella and a bowl of ginger tea. The two talked for a while. Fu Linchuan was about to take it, but suddenly stopped and answered a phone call.

Even though they were far away, Ye Xi could tell that his expression changed at that moment. Sure enough, the next moment, he saw him reluctantly say goodbye to Mrs. Zhang and get into the car.

Before getting in the car, he deliberately glanced at Ye Xi, who subconsciously dodged to the side so he wouldn't see her. When she looked out the window again, she saw only the back of the Bentley driving away.

Mrs. Zhang came back with ginger tea in her hand, looking depressed and full of regret.

"Miss, my uncle..."

"It's okay, I saw it all."

Aunt Zhang's words were cut off. She wanted to say something more to ease the tension between the two sides, but Ye Xi interrupted her coldly: "Go back and rest first. As for that bowl of ginger tea, he doesn't want it, so just throw it away." Aunt Zhang became more and more anxious, feeling that Ye Xi's attitude, which had finally eased, had become even more rigid. Unfortunately, Ye Xi did not give her another chance and went straight into the bathroom and closed the door.

Mrs. Zhang could only leave with a sigh.

Ye Xi wasn't one to hold onto anger. Although she was a little unhappy today, she didn't let her emotions overwhelm her rationality. She rarely saw Fu Linchuan so anxious, so she thought something urgent and important must have happened.

Well, now is not a good time for the two of them to meet.

Fu Linchuan, let's both calm down for a while. Once we've resolved our own issues, we can then deal with ours.

In the blink of an eye, another week passed, and the newly recruited students of Xingyue Entertainment finally made their official debut.

Ye Xi personally participated in and followed up on the entire process of this group of students, from recruitment, signing, training, rehearsal, audition to their official public appearance. It can be said that for her, the performance of this group of students is directly related to her prospects and future.

Success was a sign that reform was feasible for the Ye family, and it would influence the future direction of Planet Entertainment. For Ye Xi herself, taking over other entertainment subsidiaries would be much smoother, and she might even have the opportunity to manage the family business at headquarters, completely shedding the image of a mere figurehead.

If they failed, it might be a better outcome for the Ye family; they would simply have to reconsider other avenues and invest more time and energy. But Ye Xi would suffer a huge loss. Not only would she have to bear the sunk costs of this period, but even if the Ye family were willing to give her another chance in the future, she would no longer be recognized within the industry. It would be difficult for her to be valued by any partners or within the group, let alone inherit the shares that would give her voice and freedom. She would truly be reduced to a vase, living a life of idleness and waiting to die. For Ye Xi, this would be more painful than killing her.

Therefore, Ye Xi worked tirelessly throughout the performance, and Ye Liuxi, swayed by her emotions, followed her nervously. The rest of the industry seemed to be waiting to see what was happening, or ready to take advantage of their misfortune the moment they failed. Some also tried to sabotage the performance, but this time, the Ye family was fully supportive. Not only did Ye Xi guard the show, but the old man also sent Ye Tingyun to assist her, taking care of any issues she hadn't addressed.

Initially, the internet was abuzz with criticism. Many artists' schedules were transparent, and several prominent performances for the year had already been scheduled. However, the suddenness of the new talent reform forced some established artists to take away their roles. These established fans, with their established fan bases, were naturally disgruntled when their resources were suddenly snatched away by unknown newcomers. Several established fans joined forces to create a backlash, even leading to online commentators being misled. The newcomers were practically driven to the point of wanting to quit before they even took the stage.

Ye Xi was not good at handling these things, but she was indeed the least affected among all the people. Even Ye Liuxi, who had been an artist for so long, felt uneasy. Only Ye Xi, with her superb psychological quality, arranged everything in an orderly manner, asked the public relations department to control the comments, found someone to vent the emotions of the newcomers, checked the process of the main performance, and asked the old artists to post dynamics to cooperate and appease the fans. Although these main performance opportunities were arranged elsewhere, the company also gave them compensation.
In this way, everyone was highly nervous for a month. After the main performance, Ye Xi was so tired that he had lost his energy. After taking a look at the results, he went back and slept soundly.

When she regained consciousness, everything was settled.

As soon as he woke up, Ye Liuxi couldn't wait to tell her that the newcomer performance had far exceeded expectations! He also contributed to this newcomer reform, and now seeing the results, he was naturally proud.

The diverse newcomers are not only exceptionally talented and unique, but also possess a youthful energy and vitality compared to the veteran artists. By the end of the first season, almost everyone had their own fan club and nickname. The audience, initially blithely against them, has gradually warmed to them and is even looking forward to what surprises Xingyue will bring them next.

Ye Xi took advantage of the opportunity and did some public relations, and the performance ended perfectly.

The Ye family had finally taken the first step in its internal reform of its artists, providing some clues for future development. Ye Xi was also officially included in the succession list.
