Black Wind Culture Media Co., Ltd. has signed eleven artists, each with their own development path, and they are all doing quite well in the entertainment industry.

As the brokerage director, Yan Zhao received a more detailed explanation of the rules, as was customary.

The artists have gigs from morning till night, and the gigs are held in various places in this city called City A. They also have their own places to live, and they can go home to rest when they don't have gigs.

However, the chairman and the brokerage director can only live in the company building. The entire building is their home. They can move freely during the day, but they must stay in the building at night.

"The rules state that we can obtain clues and props every night to save fallen artists and give them a chance to start over."

"Delinquent entertainers?" Yi Zanglan turned her head. "How did you all become delinquents?"

"I don't know either," Tang Yunxi scratched her head in confusion. "It doesn't say anything in the introduction or background... I'm just a super sweet bunny who can sing and dance well!"

"OK, OK," she asked Yan Zhao, "So, in other words, we can get props tonight and have a chance to prevent the artist with the lowest star rating from being kicked out of the company, right?"

Yan Zhao nodded slightly: "That's true, but I guess it won't be easy."

Yi Zanglan sighed and patiently educated everyone: "The entertainment industry is a deep and murky place, and it's not easy to get by. The company's resources are limited, so you must cherish every opportunity to climb up and create value for the company. Only artists who can create value can go further, and only then will the company continue to invest more in cultivating you. If you can't compete with others, you will be eliminated from the world of fame and fortune, understand?"

All the team members agreed in unison. Qin Shaoyu shrank his neck and quietly complained to Shen Yubai.

"Our captain is really into character, he looks just like a real capitalist."

"Don't talk behind the chairman's back," Shen Yubai retorted seriously. "The chairman is also considering the long-term prospects of our careers."

"...Oh, Mr. Shen is really something, even after becoming a TV King, he's started talking like a bureaucrat."

"Unlike Teacher Qin, who is adept at navigating social situations and thrives in variety shows."

Wu Ying listened to the two men's immersive business flattery and felt speechless. She pushed them aside and walked out the door.

"Enough with the nonsense. I'm going to audition for the second female lead role of a famous director."

"We need to go to rehearsal too." Su Su took Li Siqi's hand and walked briskly outside. "Chairman, we have to participate in a music variety show tonight, so we'll be leaving now."

Yi Zanglan smiled and waved: "Go for it, future legend of Qilin!"

"I'm going to shoot a GG video this afternoon," Ling Ye whispered to her, "Cartienya High Jewelry Collection Ambassador."

"Wow, your boyfriend's resources are pretty good, aren't they? Cartier... a high-end luxury brand, right?"

"It's a high-end luxury brand," Yan Zhao added. "Although his acting skills aren't great, he's good-looking and has a good physique. High-end luxury brands value image and temperament, so his resources are very good."

"Then let's take advantage of our strengths and make a good amount of money."

Yi Zanglan was about to pat his shoulder when she realized she couldn't touch him. Although everyone could see her, only the person she was paired with could touch her.

To the other team members, she was just a semi-transparent, visible ghost.

So all she could do was give him a thumbs up and say, "Keep it up!"

Ling Ye also gave an OK sign: "Okay, Chairman."

"Don't make the OK sign next time, Teacher Ling, it's so outdated," Tang Yunxi suggested enthusiastically. "You should make a heart sign instead, like this."

So she and Wang Mingyue, who was next to her, each made a heart shape with their hands, one on their cheeks and the other with their fingers, to demonstrate for Ling Ye.

Lingye: "...Thank you, I'll learn it."

"Oh dear, I still have one last episode of the script to write, and I need to send it to their email tonight!"

Wang Mingyue slapped her forehead, still pointing at Yi Zanglan with her fingers in a heart shape, and skipped away, saying, "Chairman, I love you! I'm going to find the screenwriter's office!"

"The system interface has a building map, your office is on the eighth floor!" Yan Zhao called out, then looked at the others, "Then everyone is free to do as you please. Those who need to attend events should attend, and those who want to explore the terrain should explore the terrain. City A is quite big. Good luck to everyone."

Yi Zanglan nodded: "Since we can't guarantee that we can save you, let's all relax and compete fairly. Whoever can stay can stay. If you're eliminated at the bottom, it means you're not suitable for the entertainment industry. Let's wait for now and go home together after the competition ends."

The other team members simultaneously and solemnly replied, "Understood, Chairman!"

"Hmm, that's very sensible."

* * * * * *

The team members had all gone off to explore the entertainment industry. Seeing that it was still early, Yi Zanglan and Yan Zhao first gave a brief tour of the company building to familiarize themselves with the layout, and then decided to go outside City A to take a look.

"We're at a disadvantage in this situation." Yan Zhao was examining the map, frowning and shaking his head. "Everyone is far apart, and their residences are scattered in different places. We don't have time to visit everyone. We can only conduct random inspections to see if there's anything we can do to help. After that, we can only wait until night to look for clues."

"Then let's do it randomly. Help if we can, and the rest depends on their abilities," Yi Zanglan asked. "Who's closest to us?"

"Old Shen, he's doing a cameo role in a suspense drama, just a few scenes, to repay a favor to a certain director."

"Will it also increase my star value?"

"Definitely, but I estimate it will depend on their performance to determine the exact increase." After saying that, Yan Zhao looked up helplessly, "Can you stop riding on my neck? You could at least take a look at the rules."

Yi Zanglan yawned casually and habitually leaned on her head: "I want to watch too, but I'm not energetic. I'm a ghost, and I'm sleepy during the day."

"Are you very sleepy? Do you still want to go see Lao Shen?"

"Yes, I see on this map that Xiaoying isn't too far away. We can visit the set together later."

After all, as the chairman, he still has to follow the proper procedures.

……

Unexpectedly, compared to the gloomy weather in many dungeons, the daytime sunshine in City A was exceptionally intense, practically cloudless.

As soon as Yi Zanglan stepped out, as if sensing something, she suddenly flipped off Yan Zhao's shoulder and quickly retreated back into the building.

Yan Zhao turned around in surprise and saw that her outline had become even more transparent, and black smoke was coming out of her arm, revealing a large area of ​​charred marks.

"...What's wrong? You can't stand the sunlight?!"

"It seems the restrictions on me have been strengthened this time around." Yi Zanglan sighed in annoyance. "Let's grab an umbrella before I'm burned to ashes."

Without wasting a moment, Yan Zhao immediately ran to the reception desk in the lobby on the first floor, rummaged through drawers and cabinets, and finally found a black umbrella.

She opened the umbrella, tilted it to the side, and completely enveloped Yi Zanglan inside.

"It's so early in the morning, calling a taxi might let in some sunlight. It's better to walk, it'll be about twenty minutes."

"Hmm," Yi Zanglan replied. "I wonder what role Lao Shen is playing. With such a big name, he must have a private dressing room, right? I'll use his air conditioning for a bit."
