After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 349 How did he end up here...?

Rong Xi never expected that she would run into Cheng Yanye in the practice room when she was just there for normal dance practice.

The three of them had never met before...

After everyone joined Chang Le Wei Yang, Cheng Yan Ye had also trained before, but the times were different, and the dance training was newly added today, so they hadn't met before.

Previously, although they were a group, and even set a record for the fastest disbanding of a boy band in the Chinese entertainment industry, they didn't actually know each other.

Mu Zhihong's actions at the time were also quite mysterious. He went on the show with Cheng Yanye himself, leaving Rong Xi and Wei Yunhao at the company and ignoring them completely...

Then, after Cheng Yanye's incident, the group disbanded, and the two of them were signed by Ye Jin'er.

However, Ye Jin'er did not allow them to continue their development by binding themselves together. Instead, she said that they should train for a period of time first and then look for an opportunity.

Rong Xi is going to be on a variety show that tests dance skills, while Wei Yunhao has been arranged to cover some catchy songs.

Although these catchy songs may sound a bit low-class, he was frequently arranged to do live streams while working at Mu Zhihong's company, and many of these kinds of songs were requested by viewers during those live streams.

This doesn't mean he should target lower-tier markets, but rather it's a strategy to first build up his brand awareness and then gradually expand his reach. Later on, we'll also arrange for him to release singles and appear on singing variety shows, etc.

After all, Wei Yunhao has the talent; it would be a waste to just sing mindless pop songs without any real skill.

Of course, their daily training is not neglected.

Life here is much more promising than at the previous company. The living conditions are quite good, and the daily tasks are not too heavy. Neither of them has any complaints.

They also encountered the "Sweet and Spicy Duo" at the company. The other party did not show any sharp tongue in real life, and their behavior was very different from when they were at their previous company.

It's clear that those were just protective measures used when people were at the bottom of society.

So, just when they thought everything was going to improve, Rong Xi was inevitably a little confused when she met Cheng Yanye.

His feelings towards Cheng Yanye were rather complicated. The fact that the rich kid was trying to enter the entertainment industry as a boy band as if it were just a hobby had a direct impact on them. But if it weren't for this impact, they wouldn't have been able to get rid of their former company.

Although I don't think Ye Jin'er would make a decision like reorganizing the three of them... well, who can predict what capitalists are thinking...

During this period, Rong Xi observed the daily operations of Chang Le Wei Yang and tentatively concluded that the company was reliable enough and would not allow them to do anything underhanded.

But this is only temporary, and he won't draw any conclusions so quickly.

Just as Rong Xi was about to ask, Cheng Yanye spoke first.

It seems... none of the three had an answer.

After a moment of awkward silence, Wei Yunhao finally spoke up, "Since we're in the same company, cooperation is inevitable."

He didn't react as strongly to this as Rong Xi.

Wei Yunhao felt that his current life was much better than the dark times before he signed with his previous company, so he could accept any arrangement as long as it wasn't too outrageous.

Moreover, Ye Jin'er doesn't seem like such an unreasonable boss...

Wei Yunhao was much simpler and more proactive than Rong Xi in this respect. Rather, it was precisely because of his personality that he was able to persevere through the difficult times before.

"That works out well, if there's anything we can do together."

Cheng Yanye shrugged and said.

Actually, he didn't really have a choice in this matter; he just trusted that the Ye family wouldn't betray him...

Then again, if the Ye family really wanted to frame him, he wouldn't be standing here unharmed right now.

"..." Rong Xi still seemed to have reservations about this, but she nodded silently.

After the three finished their training, they went to the company cafeteria for lunch, where they ran into Ye Jin'er, who was in a hurry.

Cheng Yanye: "Second Brother."

The other two greeted her immediately, but Ye Jin'er seemed very busy. She simply nodded to them and continued talking to the person next to her before walking out.

"How did he get here...?"

Others might not know Shen Ji, but Rong Xi knew him and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

The "SPARK" group back then was a phenomenal boy band. Even after Shen Qing's incident and the group that became active as "DARK", they remained at the top of the popularity charts until now.

In the realm of boy bands, apart from DARK, there are practically no other groups that have managed to stay together for eight years.

Now when they're doing joint activities, they mainly do live-streaming e-commerce, and they don't seem to be as popular as before.

However, their individual resources are not bad either. It's just that the group's lifespan is coming to an end, and each member needs to consider their future development direction.

Since Rongxi was going to debut as a member of a boy group, he must have studied the information of other groups. In fact, the development history of DARK can be considered as one of the introductory courses for boy groups.

Although Shen Ji wasn't that well-known, Rong Xi felt particularly sorry for Shen Qing's situation, so she did some research and discovered that Shen Ji was not only a genius top agent back then, but also Shen Qing's brother.

He's considered a genius because he was only almost thirty years old when he mentored several film emperors, and more than one at that.

However, there is very little information available, because the camera usually doesn't focus on agents, and the media certainly doesn't publicize it. The terms "genius agent" and "top agent" are just rumors circulating privately within the industry.

Shen Ji and Shen Qing are not biological brothers, and it can be said that their relationship is practically undisclosed. Otherwise, Shen Qing's debut might have been accused of being rigged.

Rong Xi only came across some unsubstantiated claims while researching information and made his own deductions.

Moreover... it's clear that someone behind Shen Qing's matter doesn't want it to escalate too much. A lot of things on the internet have been completely deleted, and only some posts using very cryptic codes have been preserved.

Rong Xi studied this matter to remind himself that the entertainment industry is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface, and there is a lot of darkness behind it. He must not be blinded by money and power in the industry.

"Who is he?" Cheng Yanye asked curiously, looking at Rong Xi with Wei Yunhao.

There are often unfamiliar faces around Ye Jin'er. Cheng Yanye often sees them, but his brain capacity is not enough for him to think about these things. He just subconsciously thinks that if the other party is the president, then there must be a lot of business between them.

"..." Rong Xi glanced around, unsure if this was something he should talk about, so he whispered, "You want to know? Can we talk about it after dinner?"

This wasn't exactly gossip, but... Rong Xi became a little wary. Shen Ji shouldn't be anyone's agent now, right?

So, is his presence next to Ye Jin'er a sign that the company plans to do something to Xingxuan?

For example, poaching talent?

Then they'll have to think about their place within the company.
