Anti-Grind System? More Like a Tycoon System!

The real bottom-rung actress in showbiz is one whose name no one knows.

Ruan Jiuqiu was exactly that kind of actress.

For other people in the industry, turning twenty-three meant backstabbing and cutthroat competition.

For her, it meant a termination contract from her agency and a deal for a flop variety show.

Her agency couldn't even be bothered to hold her back. Sending her to take the princess's place on a flop show was just a way to get some use out of her.

She checked her bank balance, then looked at the variety-show contract, which paid fifty thousand per episode. Ruan Jiuqiu gave a disdainful smile. It was just a travel show, right? Fine, she'd do it!

Who knew that the day before she joined the show, a Counter-Grind System would drop out of the sky?

[Ding! Oppose the grind culture, starting with me. Counter-Grind System successfully bound!]

[You are a grind-culture fanatic in the world of an entertainment-industry novel. Please put aside your grindset and enjoy the good life.]

[After a task is issued, you may claim your reward before completing it.]

[When you complete a task, this System will also provide you with funds in varying amounts. Please spend them with class and style!]

!!! Ruan Jiuqiu was stunned. Ruan Jiuqiu screamed silently.

She didn't know whether to be more shocked that she was a fictional character or that this System existed.

You could claim the reward before completing the task!

What kind of Counter-Grind System was this? It was clearly a tycoon System!

But what did it mean to spend with class and style?

Gu Haofeng was a gifted investor, known in the venture-capital world as the Midas touch.

Whenever he invested, those who knew the ropes simply followed in his footsteps and took whatever scraps they could get.

Until one day, a wealthy young star suddenly flipped the table.

The project he wanted, she tried to steal!

The land he wanted to buy, she bought too!

Even when he donated to charity, she had to get involved.

For the first time in his life, Gu Haofeng was so angry his hands trembled. But when he looked into it, he discovered that this young star not only watched his dull interviews, but had people secretly take pictures of him and tracked his schedule.

Looking at the investigation results, Gu Haofeng fell into thought.

Could she have a crush on me?

[Important: A shamelessly cheesy sweet romance! Not a strong female lead story!

This story is set in a fictional world. All place names, personal names, and country names are made up. Just think of it as a parallel world.

The outline is set.]
