After Being Reborn and Bound to a System, I Became a Rich, Beautiful, and Successful Woman

18: Huo QinshangxuAfter the three of them left the hospital,

Jiang Li sat in the back seat, Mu Jin drove, and Mu Nuan sat in the passenger seat.

”Miss, let’s go to the supermarket in a bit and have a barbecue for dinner!”

Jiang Li hadn’t gotten to eat barbecue at the mall, so she definitely had to have it tonight.

”Okay.”

In the car, Jiang Li was boredly scrolling through Douyin when she spotted a news story.

An Internet Celebrity had been retaliated against by a fan; her face had been slashed many times, and she had even been raped.

Neighbors heard the commotion and quickly called the police. Looking at the leaked video, the woman’s face was a bloody mess from the knife wounds.

Although she was rescued, her face was completely disfigured.

It was unknown if she could recover even with skin graft surgery later on.

Jiang Li looked at the comments. Someone leaked that it was the recently popular Internet Celebrity, Xiao Yu. It was said that the person who broke in and committed the crime was the recent top donor in Xiao Yu’s livestream room.

Supposedly, to fulfill a promise, he had spent his entire net worth and even taken out high-interest loans.

In the end, that top donor blamed everything on Xiao Yu, leading to today’s event.

Jiang Li remembered that this Internet Celebrity Xiao Yu seemed to be the one who had the PK battle with Lu Yizhe that day.

After losing, she hadn’t performed the penalty and just ended the stream.

Jiang Li wondered if this incident was caused by her.

No, if it were caused by her, would Xiao Yu really have been fine otherwise?

Based on the exposed incidents—hitting and scolding her assistant at the drop of a hat—it showed that Xiao Yu wasn’t a good person herself. Even if that top donor had won ten matches, he likely wouldn’t have met Xiao Yu, or he would have been mocked even if they did meet!

It wasn’t her fault, so why should she take the blame upon herself?

At most, she had just caused the event to happen earlier. She remembered this incident also happened in her previous life.

But that was two months later.

Once Jiang Li figured it out, she stopped overthinking it.

If a kind-hearted person helps an old lady and gets extorted, it only shows the greed of the elderly person and their family; it’s their fault, not the fault of those who help the elderly. Perhaps for some reason this society has become like this, but staying true to one’s heart is what’s most important. (Just a small personal opinion!)

After returning to the Zhihai Tingshu,

Jiang Li ate a healthy and delicious barbecue for dinner, prepared by the top-tier chef Mu Nuan.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Li didn’t exercise today because she had fallen at the mall and needed to rest.

While soaking in the bath, watching a TV show with fruit by her side, it was truly pleasant.

Just then, Jiang Li’s phone rang. She answered.

”Miss Jiang, is that you? I am Luo Roujing. We met at the mall this afternoon.”

Jiang Li listened to Luo Roujing’s words. ”I know it’s you! Luo Roujing, have you made up your mind?”

Luo Roujing’s voice quickly came from the other side of the phone, ”I’ve decided, Miss Jiang. I’m willing to go to Shengshi Entertainment.”

Jiang Li said, ”Good. Tomorrow I’ll have a lawyer find you. You just need to terminate your contract with Shangyu Entertainment.”

”Okay, Miss Jiang.”

After Luo Roujing hung up the phone, she took a deep breath. Phew~

After finishing a video call with her parents that night, Jiang Li went to sleep.

Sleeping early and waking early had been Jiang Li’s habit for many years.

After waking up early and finishing her workout, she contacted Shi Muzhi while eating breakfast.

Shi Muzhi had handled it last time, so there would be no problem this time... The next day, early morning.

Shangyu Entertainment, Shang Gui’s office.

Two people sat opposite each other, with another person (Assistant Xu Xuan) standing behind.

Shang Gui hadn’t expected that after not coming to work for so many days, the first person he would see upon his return was Shi Muzhi.

As soon as Shi Muzhi got out of his car, he saw the person getting out of another car. Seeing him, his mouth kept twitching. Why was this guy here again!

Nothing good ever happens when he comes!

So Shang Gui spoke up and asked, ”Mr. Shi, why are you... why have you come? Is there something?”

After speaking, he kept staring at Shi Muzhi, not wanting to hear a single word he didn’t want to hear from his mouth.

Shi Muzhi smiled. ”Of course. This time it’s for your company’s Miss Luo Roujing. I’m here to terminate her contract on her behalf.”

Hearing this, Shang Gui’s mouth couldn’t stop twitching even more. He quickly invited the man into his office and had his secretary bring Luo Roujing.

It had only been a few days, and two people had left in succession, and without paying a cent in liquidated damages.

But Luo Roujing paid her own liquidated damages. Her contract only had two months left, so she only needed to pay one hundred thousand in liquidated damages.

Over the years, although she lived poorly, she had managed to save up.

This was her entire net worth. Once she reached Shengshi Entertainment, she would start her life anew.

Shi Muzhi told Luo Roujing she could go to Shengshi Entertainment on her own; he had to catch a flight now to go traveling.

Fortunately, when the Chairman looked for him, he hadn’t left yet.

So he immediately changed his ticket to an afternoon flight... Shengshi Entertainment.

Jiang Li drove her bugatti to her entertainment company. The security guard at the entrance took her car keys and drove the car to the underground garage.

She used her exclusive elevator card to go up to the tenth floor.

The manager was waiting for her at the door. Seeing the person coming out of the elevator, he stepped forward. ”Chairman.”

Jiang Li looked at the man in the suit before her; he didn’t look very old. ”Hmm, are you a new hire?”

”Yes, I am the manager, Huo Qin.”

”Okay, I see.”

[Ding~, Sign-in successful. Reward: 100 million yuan in cash, and one acting CEO for Shengshi Entertainment, named Shang Xu.]

Hearing today’s reward, Jiang Li was simply overjoyed.

Arriving at her office, she said, ”Huo Qin, go downstairs and pick someone up. I recruited him; his name is Shang Xu.”

”Okay, Chairman.”

Huo Qin soon brought the person up.

Looking at Shang Xu’s looks, he could have debuted directly. She hadn’t expected that he actually relied on talent rather than looks.

”Shang Xu, I don’t come to Shengshi Entertainment often. So, you decide on matters large and small here. Just report to me every week... every two weeks.”

”Okay, Chairman.” Shang Xu’s looks were very high, the type of ice-cold handsome man that makes hearts flutter.

But our Jiang Li still preferred the ’little puppy’ type.

”Shang Xu, Huo Qin, you two keep up the good work. By the way, I’ve recruited Lu Yizhe and Luo Roujing; you guys handle their arrangements! Prepare to recruit more artists these days.”

”Okay, Chairman.”

Downstairs at Shengshi Entertainment,

Luo Roujing, relying on her last ten yuan, took the bus over.

The security guard at the door saw her. ”Hello, who are you looking for?”

”Hello, I am a new artist. Could you announce me?”

”Are you Luo Roujing?”

”That’s me!”

The guard looked at the striking beauty before him. ”Miss, please go in. The manager already made arrangements just now.”

”Okay, thank you.”

Luo Roujing followed the secretary who came down to meet her and went to Huo Qin’s office.

”Hello Manager, I am Luo Roujing.”

Looking at the striking beauty who walked in, Huo Qin had to admit the Chairman’s eye for talent was excellent; she would definitely become a huge hit.
