Chapter 267: During one week [2]
Ling Qingyu was relieved to let Athena freely manipulate the Spirit Electronics corporation after seeing the results. She almost forgot AI was also a fast learner, much quicker than hers to adapt.
Fan Xi also visited her manor and agreed to her proposal. A great news for Ling Qingyu and her sister. The two registered the media company 'Phoenix' and Ling Qingyu invested more than 3 billion yuan.
She also trusted Fan Xi's meticulousness and happily became a shopkeeper. At the same time, Fan Xi promised to come occasionally to mentor Ling Yunxiang, who was jumping around in joy, learning new things from the idol she admired.
What surprised Ling Qingyu the most was her mother, aunt and Zhao Xiurong's mother were delighted to see Fan Xi and pestered around.
Thinking of the elders' enthusiasm, Ling Qingyu had a headache and apologized. Fan Xi didn't mind. She was glad she still had elderly fans.
She signed autographs and took photos for them. Ling Qingyu's guards and maids also were eager but they never came forward, paying attention to the work ethics.
Ling Qingyu hadn't nodded to express affirmation, Fan Xi gave them a chance. The girls looked at Ling Qingyu with cute eyes, making her feel guilty if she refused on the spot.
Stared at by a large group, she didn't want to become the public enemy in her own manor and gave them the green light.
The whole manor became messy with Fan Xi's entry. Ling Qingyu nudged her forehead and lamented Fan Xi seemed more famous than hers.

Actually, Fan Xi was thinking the same and was interested in Ling Qingyu, who was definitely not her fan, after several deductions. The people around seemed to know her well and Fan Xi suspected if not for the auction event, Ling Qingyu might not be aware of her name.
At the same time, Ling Qingyu's unfamiliarity with her enlightened Fan Xi, sublimating her already strengthened psychology.
Ling Qingyu read the paper, written by Fan Xi, on her different approaches. She fixed some of it completely and modified some, where needed. Asking Fan Xi to read again the paper she already made an input, Ling Qingyu was satisfied with letting Fan Xi lead the media enterprise.
Apart from lacking some skills in administration and planning, Ling Qingyu found no flaws in Fan Xi's work. The weakness could be easily solved by Ling Qingyu guiding Fan Xi carefully.
The most important requirements didn't take long before Fan Xi accomplished them. The connections which she gained throughout her career facilitated Fan Xi.
On her calls, many acquaintances responded, promising cooperation. Currently, because there weren't other artists, except Ling Yunxiang and Fan Xi, the company was a bit stuck.
Yes, Ling Yunxiang had already canceled her previous contract without a problem. The company didn't even ask for compensation, too happy to send the unlucky one away.
After all, Ling Yunxiang's backer and her enemies trying to ruin her reputation weren't simple. The most effective way to solve this was to send away the demon, messing around in their backyard.
Comforting Fan Xi, Ling Qingyu stated scripts weren't a problem because of her confidence in Athena's composition ability. She had seen the campaign during the gameplay full of vivid plots and emotions.
Athena could easily create an animation with numerous plots, more efficiently than the scriptwriters and directors. Plus, there wasn't any need to request help for special effects.
If Athena competed in the world for best special effects, the champion solely belonged to her just like drinking wine during a vacation.
With Ling Qingyu's assurance, Fan Xi sought other staff members such as cameramen, lighting and agents…etc.
As for artists like singers and actors/actresses, with Fan Xi's charisma, it was only a matter of time, once she had a solid script and a team. It didn't matter if no one came, because Fan Xi and Ling Yunxiang could personally act for the time being before growing from a small egg to a behemoth.
Related to entertainment news, something outrageous occurred in Country K neighbored Country C. Ling Qingyu read the headlines while she sifted through financial news and was interested in the stories.
The scandal was the divorce between the bodyguard and the Samsung princess. The world-famous electronics brand 'Samsung' had reached the level of a multi-industry corporation many businesspeople desired to reach.
Though the consortium was mixed with goods and bads, Ling Qingyu admired the name. She also wished Spirit to become a similar existence or more powerful than it.
As she read into details, Ling Qingyu almost vomited in disgust. Outrageous. Too outrageous and an eye-opener for Ling Qingyu. She learned an extremely profound lesson.
The Samsung princess married her own personal bodyguard, which really resembled her scenario. If she didn't reject Lin Fan, the same thing would happen.
The bodyguard, perhaps out of jealousy or worried about his status in the family or to prove his strength, committed domestic violence on his wife during her pregnancy, despite the two being happily together in the initial stage. And what made Ling Qingyu grit her teeth was this man even found other women.
What she read more nearly cracked her mental tolerance because the man demanded more than 7 billion USD as compensation.
Many always thought women were always looking to cut away money from their husbands. Now, this overturned her views. Maybe, it was the people themselves, having the problem.
The woman was indeed a successful businesswoman but her choice for her lifelong partner seemed miserable.
Maybe it was the childhood growth that made her choose this bodyguard. Her own net worth surpassed Ling Qingyu by a large margin. Only because of her gender, she wasn't able to inherit the Samsung Group. Naturally, the event happened 6 years ago and was publicly revealed and spread around only now.
Apart from sympathizing with the princess, Ling Qingyu had no other feelings because she believed this woman would only become stronger.
Nevertheless, there was one point which narrowed her eyes, exuding chillness. The husband was also involved in the 30+ men, forcing sexually over the actress, who committed suicide in her late twenties.
Asking Athena for further research, what Ling Qingyu found raised her anger to another extreme. The poor actress was really coerced to perform sex with various powerful men under the company's order, with the contract deed, held firmly by the sheer amount of liquidated damage.
There were days when she was shared and thrown around among 5 men or more. When she refused, she was beaten and taught lessons. Any slightest disobedience from her was crushed to the point of despair set in her mind. Samsung princess's husband's participation seemed only once but he was on the list written by her before she committed suicide.
What was said in the suicide note unveiled the tragedy, this actress experienced. Even today, nothing was really done, justice for her and these evil scums lived happily without remorse and consequences. Sometimes, Ling Qingyu laughed at the religious leaders' sermons—where was the so-called karma here?
Her frustration added to her bad mood but she was powerless to change the situation, which happened in the past. As for bringing justice to the actress, only Athena was capable.
Even then with protection from the officials included, they might only suffer a few years in prison. What made matters worse was that after more than 15 years if Ling Qingyu remembered correctly, this Country K's law protected the criminals, who could no longer be pressed charges.
Based on the time of this actress's death, the constitution already prevented any judicial move. Well, for Ling Qingyu, it didn't matter if it would work, she still asked Athena to search for the hidden disgusting files and uncover them to the public.
She had remembered the name lists and sent these men to death in her mind. Maybe after Athena's further investigation, more men would add up the list and the result remained the same. Let them know the meaning of social punishment. Once the poor united even the rich dared not oppose.
People forgot the power of the powerless and minded their own business. Ling Qingyu wondered if people were always nosy, would exploitation from the bigger class disappear? It was a question worth thinking deeper.
Shaking her head, Ling Qingyu heard about more suicide cases among the artists from this country since her past life and this life hadn't changed. She thought it was probably attributed to depression but now the coincident of depression could no longer explain the trend.
The entertainment water was way messier and more unacceptable for human beings than she expected.
Even if Ling Qingyu created her own like the one with Fan Xi, how many could she solve? There would still be many people, for their dreams to become popular, risking everything, without knowing the fate of worse than death.
Where there was a problem, there would always be a way. Ling Qingyu believed solutions existed but they cost money, energy and time and required her to think outside of the box.

A/N: Before my readers bought privileges, a heads up. Several tiers which I set up and couldn't change. I thought my readers wouldn't buy that much but I was wrong.
5 chapters ahead, 8 chapters, 10 chapters, and finally 16 chapters. Had I known there would be such support, I would have increased the range so that the coins you gave would be more efficient.
I hope readers can wait and think carefully before impatiently buying the tiers. Any questions and confusion or advice, please comment below to let me know.
