The Billion-Yuan Agent [Metaphysics]

After the entertainment company they'd invested in went bankrupt, its cash flow dried up and its employees fled. Her parents had no choice but to bring Meng Qingning home from the mountain temple where she'd spent fifteen years cultivating herself.

Meng Qingning was born with an extremely yin fate. She'd been sent to the temple to save her life, but growing up there had left her utterly detached from worldly affairs.

Meng Qingning's parents: We're old, and our hearts can't take much more. The company is twenty million in debt, and we have only three washed-up stars left. Do your best, or the whole family will be out begging for scraps!

Meng Qingning: ...

She knew nothing about the entertainment industry, but that was fine.

First, she needed to change a name like "SX Entertainment" to something better. "Universal Prosperity Billion-Dollar Entertainment Company" had a nice ring to it. That was the way to keep business running smoothly.

In her first month on the job, she signed an actor with no acting skills up for the hottest acting competition reality show.

The actor: ...Can I die any more thoroughly than this?

She sent a little singer burdened with scandals and constant rumors onto the hottest dating reality show, "With My Ex-Girlfriend."

The singer: ...You're trying to kill me, aren't you?

As for Li Heng, the aloof, aristocratic best actor and company partner who'd been shut out by the industry...

Meng Qingning: Acting isn't your calling. Come work on projects with me.

Li Heng: ?

Meng Qingning: Your fate is strong. You can overcome your enemies. At the next meeting, wear gold on one hand and hold water in the other, then sit on the west side of the conference room. I guarantee our rival will be struck down by a serious illness that very night.

Li Heng didn't want to follow the path laid out for him: inheriting the family business and entering a marriage of convenience.

He'd gone out on his own and stumbled into acting because of his looks. In just three years, he'd won international awards and his career had taken off. He and Meng's father had founded an entertainment company together.

Then others grew jealous and set a trap for him.

The company was left deeply in debt.

That night, he'd stayed up late poring over the company accounts.

The trending topics were full of fake scandals bought by their rival.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out outside the office.

A young woman said in a tone of exasperated disbelief, "The feng shui is so awful. It's obvious some petty villain is blocking your path! Come on, does anyone have something metal? I'll take them down in one move."

She took his international award, tied a red string around it, and placed it on the top shelf of the bookcase.

The next day, a video of their rival cheating exploded across the trending topics.

On the third day, their rival apologized to him.

On the fourth day, their rival announced they were leaving the industry.

Li Heng: ...What kind of business warfare is this?

Meng Qingning: Just exorcism and feng shui. It's nothing worth mentioning.

As for the start-up capital for their projects...

Meng Qingning: I have ten billion.

Li Heng: ?

Meng Qingning pulled out a stack of Bank of Heaven and Earth banknotes.
