Only after Cen Wanbai died did she learn that she was merely a cannon-fodder supporting female character in a wish-fulfillment novel aimed at male readers.
For the male lead, Gu Liangchen, she invested tens of millions in a major production just because he casually complained about it, and handed him luxury brand endorsements worth hundreds of millions. But after Gu Liangchen used the hundred-billion-yuan fortune she had inherited to reach the top of the entertainment industry, he decided she was no longer useful and kicked her aside. In the end, she was persecuted by a suitor who adored the female lead, and when she died, she didn't even have a decent outfit to her name.
Cen Wanbai: ? I'm so done.
Fine, I'll be cannon fodder. First, let's work out how much I've spent on you all these years.
After settling things with Gu Liangchen, Cen Wanbai turned around and took charge of her family's entertainment company, which was on the verge of collapse.
So while the entertainers under her label sparked romantic chemistry with all sorts of female guests on variety shows and smoothly shot to fame, Gu Liangchen was out drinking with clients until midnight for a small production, then got hit by a car in the pouring rain and ended up in the ICU.
While her company's entertainers landed prestigious Blue Blood luxury endorsements and saw their market value soar, Gu Liangchen had to play a disabled man with both hands and feet amputated for a minor role, and even had eggs and dirty water thrown at him.
While the entertainers at Cen Wanbai's company attended prestigious galas in style and gained hordes of fans, Gu Liangchen offended a powerful industry figure and was banned outright, with not a single public appearance for an entire year.
Gu Liangchen, consumed by regret, knocked on Cen Wanbai's door on a snowy night and knelt in the snow, begging her to take him back.
But the entertainers who had come to surprise their boss for her birthday livestreamed the scene. The whole internet erupted. Fans either abandoned him or turned against him.
Later, news broke on a variety show that Cen Entertainment's tyrannical contract had driven an entertainer to tears. Netizens began cursing the company's boss, calling her heartless and a downright unscrupulous employer!
The next day, the company revealed that the contract offered not only social insurance and a housing fund, but also generous revenue sharing and a high-priced private apartment for every entertainer. The benefits were so good they made people jealous.
Chairwoman Ms. Cen also held a press conference to clarify the whole matter, warning that the company would send lawyer's letters to anyone maliciously smearing it.
After watching the press conference, all the outraged netizens completely lost track of what they had been talking about!
Is this gorgeous, wealthy big sister the notorious unscrupulous boss?
Is it too late for me to apply now?
