Chapter 447: 328 Gu Li schemes Shen Yunsi_2
Mo Shiting: “….”

Elsewhere, Da Ha and Song Yunque were not idle either. They jointly accused GE Entertainment of plagiarizing “Cangtian”. At the same time, they spurred the police to swiftly investigate, uncovering a series of murky dealings at GE.
A few days later, a huge scandal exploded in the entertainment industry — top entertainment company GE was shut down for being suspected of several serious crimes. The legal representative, Cheng Ying, was arrested. Numerous A-list and B-list celebrities were knocked off their pedestals causing fear and trembling among people in the industry.
Cheng Ying had previously made a verbal agreement with Shen Yunsi to take full responsibility for all crimes, and did not expose Shen Yunsi’s behind-the-scenes financial backing. After all, many things were done by her, and Shen Yunsi was unaware.
Although Shen Yunsi avoided prison, the collapse of GE dealt her a significant blow. The dramatic reduction in income was one thing, but most importantly, her competition with Gu Li in the entertainment industry hadn’t really started, and she had already lost completely.
However, even though her GE was gone, she would not let Gu Li’s Shi Li Entertainment continue.
As far as she knew, Shi Li Entertainment currently only had one new artist preparing to debut, named Ye Yining, who was highly valued.
As long as she convinced Ye Yining to transfer to another management company, Shi Li Entertainment’s months of careful cultivation would be wasted.
On Friday afternoon, Ye Yining received a call from AC Entertainment’s Artistic Director, Lu Si.
Lu Si and Shen Yunsi have known each other for many years, but until now, Lu Si had no idea that GE Entertainment was secretly funded by Shen Yunsi.
She genuinely admired Ye Yining. She had sought out Ye Yining several times before Da Ha discovered Yining’s angelic voice in the bar, but she was rejected time and again.
She had gradually given up, but at Shen Yunsi’s instigation, she reignited her fighting spirit to poach Yining.
In order to poach Ye Yining, she offered unprecedentedly favorable conditions, promising resources in the form of several luxury brand endorsements, and guaranteed that Yining would become an A-list artist within a year.
“Miss Ye, you have an angelic voice and a great image. Staying at Shi Li Entertainment, a newly established company, is a waste. Shi Li Entertainment doesn’t have the ability to promote you, AC is your best choice.”
Ye Yining refused without hesitation: “I’m sorry, I will only stay at Shi Li Entertainment in this lifetime.”
Lu Si didn’t expect her to be so stubborn and couldn’t help but continue persuading: “Why is that? I don’t believe Shi Li Entertainment can offer better conditions than us. Miss Ye, think about it. We, AC, are the top old-school entertainment company in the whole Hua Country. Even the recently bankrupt GE Entertainment was not our competitor. With the collapse of GE, no entertainment company will be able to compete with us for at least the next five years. It’s cool under the big tree, once the village is passed, there will be no shop. Think about it.”
“Thank you. But I’ve decided.”
Ye Yining smiled faintly in refusal.
She had interacted with Lu Si several times and knew this shrewd and capable woman did admire her. As such, she didn’t want to fall out with her.
Lu Si was still persistent: “Yining, you’re already 25 years old, that’s past the best age to debut. If you waste a few more years, you’ll be 30. Do you know what 30 means for a woman? It means starting to go downhill. Aren’t you afraid that your remaining youth will be wasted by Shi Li Entertainment?”
“Lu Si, I appreciate your kind words. But the owner of Shi Li Entertainment is my sister. I won’t leave. I hope you understand.”
Lu Si: “….”
After all this time, it turns out Shi Li Entertainment was her own family’s company. What was Shen Yunsi trying to do? Making her lose face like that?
The more Lu Si thought about it, the angrier she got. After she ended the call with Ye Yining, she sent a message to Shen Yunsi: [Miss Shen, could you make sure of the situation before you talk in the future?]
Shen Yunsi received the message, her eyes slightly surprised, she immediately replied: [What happened?]
Lu Si replied to her: [Did you check the relationship between Ye Yining and Shi Li Entertainment?]
Shen Yunsi: ???
“Knock, knock, knock–”
The knock on the door interrupted Shen Yunsi’s thoughts.
She looked up to see a male classmate standing outside the door.
“Come in.”
She forced a warm smile, trying to appear as friendly as possible.
The male student stepped lightly into the room and came up to her: “Professor Shen, I am the class president of Architecture Class 1, Yang Qian. The bell rang fifteen minutes ago and you haven’t returned to the classroom. The students don’t know if they can leave school or not, so I came to ask.”
