Xia Ze’s fans were currently attacking Fang Zhenxuan, and these two hot search topics were not just a slap in the face, but a public execution. Even bystanders were saying, “No wonder Chu Xiang sued them back then. Look at their behavior now, showing no remorse and still engaging in vicious attacks.”

As a result, their idol Xia Ze was also belittled. No work, no acting skills—Wasn’t this a fact? What right did they have to trample on the powerful Fang Zhenxuan? Were they bullying others just because he was popular and a senior?

Xia Ze lost completely this time. Under the influence of so many apology posts, even Xia Ze’s fans spontaneously quieted down. No one wanted to be actually sued. No matter how tough they talked, deep down, there was still a hint of fear. Not only would it be embarrassing online, but it would also become a stain in real life. Who wanted to have an additional “sued” label on their record?

Even the staunchest fans’ appeals for protecting Xia Ze had no effect. A small number of fans controlling the comments section wouldn’t make a difference. Among the several disputes between Xia Ze and Fang Zhenxuan, this time was the most devastating defeat. Xia Ze’s fans deeply hated Fang Zhenxuan and regarded him as their number one opponent, but they still didn’t dare to act recklessly.

This time, Xia Ze truly brought trouble upon himself. Sitting at home, he attracted all this trouble. Once again, he lost a significant portion of his popularity. But this was his own doing. He had been in the spotlight for many years without improving his skills, only focused on gaining fans and making money. Now that he couldn’t control his fan base, engaging in conflicts only left him a negative impression. Besides failing to rise the victor, he was also embarrassed. He didn’t want to face such backlash, but he had to.

This incident involving Fang Zhenxuan gave “popularity” a whole new perspective. It was no longer like in the past one or two years when popularity was rejected and seen as a bubble, nor was it like a few years ago when popularity was idolized and equated with money.

He allowed people to explore the concept of “popularity” and finally reached a conclusion. People were increasingly recognizing the value of popularity and understanding which kinds of popularity were beneficial and which were useless. Fang Zhenxuan’s influence in the entertainment industry has already surpassed Xia Ze, even though he hasn’t won an award yet. In just half a year since his debut, he has become a well-deserved A-list superstar, widely known by the public.

Fang Zhenxuan was still focusing on filming, with more than half of the Case Investigation Adventure already completed. Chu Xiang asked the director to film her part first and occasionally took breaks from the set to handle investments.

All four of her artists have scheduled engagements, so she was a bit “neglecting her main job” and trying to find ways to convert the substantial assets in her portfolio into cash. The best way was through large-scale investments.

She was familiar with this matter, having done it several times before. She quickly identified a group of companies with fast development potential for investment, as well as proposed investment solutions to several larger companies with slow upward trends. She also invested in some well-known brands, expanding her network while making investments.

In the end, the entertainment industry was a circle where self-interest reigned supreme. No matter how strong the manager’s capabilities were, they still had to bow down to the financial backers. There were always times when artists have to compromise. If you don’t want to bow down, then become a financial backer yourself. While enjoying the thrill of the industry, you could also make money. In such a colorful circle, how could one do without money? Fortunately, money was the easiest thing for Chu Xiang to obtain.

In addition to these quick money-making investments, Chu Xiang also invested in a law firm and became a partner of four elite lawyers. She also had Fang Zhenxuan help select six talented law students from her fan base to work as interns in the law firm.

These six law students were either master’s or doctoral students. Following the elite lawyers, they would climb up the ladder at the fastest pace to become real lawyers who could handle cases. Chu Xiang invested in them to have her own team of elite lawyers. In the future, anyone who dared to challenge them would have no chance of escaping any legal implications. Legal letters and elite legal documents would be waiting for them.

There was also the talent agency. She felt that starting a small independent studio was not enough, so she decided to establish a talent agency, a miniature version of a large entertainment company. She started scouting talent for various departments in advance, waiting for the right time to recruit them.

Within the entertainment industry, few people were aware of Chu Xiang’s investments, but they have heard about her plans to establish her own talent agency. Some people thought she was being too arrogant. She remained inactive for eight years, and now that she has brought Fang Zhenxuan to fame and elevated herself in the process, she wanted to leave her current company and establish her own. They worried that without the backing of a company, she might face difficulties.

However, there were also people who admired her courage and foresight. They had learned about her excellent relationship with Xingchen Entertainment and have high hopes for her future. Some even volunteered themselves to join her company.  There was a high demand from artists who wanted to be signed by her.

However, Chu Xiang was currently occupied with a lot of tasks and was not interested in signing new artists. She rejected all such requests. However, she carefully reviewed personal recommendations from prospective staff members and directly hired them if they were suitable. Even though her company hadn’t officially launched yet, she could afford to pay salaries from her personal funds. With four artists under her management, she had enough manpower, and having a team made things much more convenient.

While Chu Xiang, the “Chief” of the Chu family, was busy with her ambitious endeavors, several members of the Chu family were diligently working on set. Fang Zhenxuan and Xinxin have wrapped up filming for their movie, while Fang Zhenxuan has immediately joined the cast of a legal drama.
