Not a god

Chapter 174: On TV, Family

Lehua Culture is a comprehensive entertainment company in Jiangcheng.

It was once glorious in the past, but with the departure of several top artists and several wrong decisions made by the leadership team...it is not in decline at the moment, and is even still the first choice for many young star-chasing dreamers in Jiangcheng. However, in the minds of netizens online, the company is no longer well-known. Only when they mention that a certain star came from here, will they suddenly realize that it is this company.

Of course, the reason why I suddenly mentioned this company is because our big star is an artist of this company.

Ms. Jiang is a well-deserved elder, having spent more than ten years of her youth in this company.

She hasn't become popular in more than ten years, which may be her fault. After all, she had several dramas that many people were optimistic about, but they didn't become popular. It's not that she is not popular, but that not many people watched those dramas!
After all, I had two children to raise at home, so I took on some resources of relatively poor quality, and then I was never very successful.

In fact, she naturally knew what this circle was like. It was a mess, very messy. When she was young, people told her clearly that there was a ladder to success and asked her if she wanted to step on it.

She was not a traditional woman who took sex too seriously, but she was a mother, and those messy relationships were like unstable bombs that could explode at any time. She felt worried when she thought that Wanwan would be laughed at by her classmates in the future for her parents' scandal.

So she divorced her ex-husband and then cut off all the olive branches that were offered to her.

After I figured it out, I felt even more disgusted by those dirty deeds. I was glad that I did not make any mistakes, but I also accepted the reality that there were many obstacles on my road to success.

Because she thought of her children, she gave up some things and also preserved some things. However, becoming a big star was her childhood dream... Well, it always feels weird for a middle-aged woman to talk about her childhood dreams. Anyway, it’s just the star journey of the past ten years. Only she knows how it feels after drinking the water.

But now, she was numb.

She is over 40 and already old enough. Some male artists may still have a chance, but there has never been a female star who achieved success late in life in the entertainment industry.

So now, basically no resources from the company will flow into her hands, and she doesn't have much ambition to go out and work hard. However, as an outstanding graduate of a serious media university, a veteran who has worked in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, and an artist who struggled on the screen in that era, she cannot fall behind in singing, dancing and acting.

Now, she stays in the company as a teacher, training trainees for the company. Today is the business test for this batch of trainees.

Looking at the beautiful young girls in the dance studio, their faces full of collagen, firm skin, and graceful curves wrapped in dance costumes, Ms. Jiang also felt that the new generation replaced the old, but...

"Hey babies, are we rehearsing a girl group dance or a rehabilitation exercise? That backbend by Xiao Liu——"

"The wave you street dance masters did is really exquisite. The upper body looks like it was electrocuted, and the lower body is rooted to the concrete floor. Even a prehistoric vegetative man recovering from illness has better sense of rhythm than you!"

"Look at the price list of other people's knee springs, and then look at your old-age disco texture. Do you know what dance teachers mean by 'stuck in time' now?"

She stood in front of the mirror and suddenly tapped the mirror three times in a rhythmic manner. "It's a time-stamp! Looking at how you control the intensity, I would have thought you were doing a square dance to promote an anti-fraud app!"

One by one, they were all scolded by her so hard that they dared not say a word. After each performance, they gasped for breath, looking like they had just run a thousand meters with sweat all over their foreheads, because this... at least gave people the feeling that even if they had no credit, they had worked hard.

"Next, Xiaoyu..."

She criticized one after another and finally finished training these dozen monsters. Among them were those who had just signed contracts, those who were about to debut, those who had already debuted in small groups, and those who were already popular online. She was in charge of the women's body shape.

After the instruction, Ms. Jiang put on a coat and left the dance studio. The trainees, whose legs were weak from the exercise, finally breathed a sigh of relief and moaned:

"Isn't Jiang Piaoliang's statement too much?"

"No matter what, I feel that Sister Xiaolin is already very capable, but she still criticized me like this..."

"She's not wrong..."

"Sister Cailian, can you bear this? You are such a big shot now..."

"Don't come here."

"Jiang Piaoliang's professional ability is really amazing. At such an old age, her waist can still be bent like this... She is not afraid of hurting it."

"What's so great about it... And we know our own situation. Even if we debut, we can just act in a web drama, become a small internet celebrity, etc. What's the point of practicing these things?"

"Stop talking, I'm back, I'm back..."

"Oh! Yiyi is here too!"

At the door of the practice room, a little girl in a little dress, with a round face and two small pigtails on her head appeared. She stood there like a little figurine.

Chen Yi came with Assistant Chen.

Like Ms. Jiang, Assistant Chen is also an agent of this company. As Ms. Jiang gradually retreated behind the scenes, he has been free recently and takes care of his granddaughter whenever he is free every day.

Middle-aged and elderly people who take care of their children tend to stroll around, watch old men play chess on the street, listen to gossip at the blind date corner in the park, or come to the company to see the young people.

In addition to Assistant Chen bringing her granddaughter here, Ms. Jiang sometimes also brings her here, so Chen Yi is already familiar with this place.

A little girl in a skirt appeared at the door. She ran into the house excitedly, looked up, and saw a group of beautiful sisters surrounding her. She then excitedly hid away again.

Haha, with such short legs, I actually think I can escape the clutches of the sisters.

Little kids are born to be sucked wildly by their older sisters!

Chen Yi was like falling into a devil's cave, surrounded and ravaged by a group of young girls with overflowing maternal instincts. She looked left and right, and all she could see were long, well-proportioned, white legs. She couldn't get out, and there were many hands touching her body, making her giggle.

"Again!"

"Again!"

"Yiyi, run, run super fast!"

Protests are useless, so he starts sucking babies right away.

A few others came over to see what Ms. Jiang was doing.

"What is Jiang Jie looking at?"

"Why are you watching the news?"

Although they complained a lot during class, their relationship was actually pretty good outside of class. After all, it's normal for teachers and students to complain a few words in private, but they still have to be respectful during class.

"Why, you're paying attention to national affairs, why don't you give me some?"

Ms. Jiang looked at this group of young people who were slacking off again and raised her eyebrows: "What are you doing here? Who told you to take a break?"

Even though they were criticized, they pretended not to hear the criticism after class, played crazy and stupid and refused to move. If they were not allowed to rest, they would breathe more and pretend that they had exerted a lot of effort... She was the one who taught them this.

The trainees who gathered around her saw that she was watching CCTV news, and it was live broadcast.

"Wow, the Dream Monitoring Tower. It's been mentioned in the news before."

"Is it done now? Is Cailian the one from your family?"

Jiang Cailian was annoyed: "Don't talk nonsense, I've already said that my dad is just the senator of Firefly, and he is far from the Minjiang Chamber of Commerce!" "And this is obviously the Youth League, and it has nothing to do with the Minjiang People's Club."

Jiang Cailian is currently the company's main newcomer. She has just finished filming an A-level web drama which is about to be released. The company has prepared a debut single for her, and she is also planning to appear on a recently popular web variety show. The resources for each subsequent stage are also clearly arranged.

The Firefly she mentioned is called Firefly Chuangyan, a strategic incubation project of Yunlu Intelligence. The full name of Yunlu Intelligence is Yunlu Intelligence Co., Ltd., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Changchuan Industrial, and Changchuan Industrial is a Class B entity controlled by Minjiang Chamber of Commerce Capital.

Listed this way, her family's Firefly Innovation is indeed the younger brother among the younger brothers, but the fact that she came here to be a trainee is already considered a grown-up girl coming out to experience life.

And she did not hide it. The reason why she was able to become the main promoter of Lehua Culture was because of her family connections. After all, Lehua Culture is also related to the Minjiang Chamber of Commerce.

"It's a pity that none of us have awakened our destiny..."

"It's really dangerous everywhere now. The news is saying it every day..."

"Alas, those people on the Internet, just by awakening their destiny and starting a live broadcast, they can have hundreds of thousands or millions of fans. It's really..."

"I heard that the company is considering forming a Destiny idol group..."

"That game, I died not long after I started playing, it was so painful, how could those people continue to play..."

The young sisters chattered for a while, and then asked Jiang Cailian if she had found out any news that ordinary people like them didn't know.

Although Jiang Cailian would refute every time and her family was not that powerful, it was actually quite useful.

"But I've been to the [Minjiang People Club], and the brothers and sisters there are really amazing, unlike those jugglers on the Internet. Besides, what's important now is not whether you can fight or not, but what's important is the destiny and man-made things. My dad told me about this... It's not a secret project, so I'll tell you!"

Looking at the admiring eyes of the little sisters, Jiang Cailian's little vanity was also satisfied.

The world is changing so rapidly that everyone is worried about the current situation, but the only channels for information are the Internet and the news.

But everyone is no longer naive school students, so they naturally know that the news that appears on the Internet and is known to them is probably no longer important.

The Internet is indeed highly developed today, but there seems to be not much change from the past. Ordinary people can only know what they should know. As for what they should know and what they should not know, it is not up to them to decide.

Of course, is knowing too much really a good thing if you don’t have the ability?
I feel helpless. I feel helpless.

Ms. Jiang didn't understand either. She was stretching her legs and practicing basic skills. She didn't know what she was doing. Then she heard Wanwan say that her husband was going to be on TV today, and it was live on CCTV. She also made fun of her for not having been on CCTV in all these years.

She asked: "What is this monitoring tower for?"

"It's a civil defense project. This dream monitoring tower can monitor spiritual power signals. Evil corpses often appear nowadays. This dream monitoring tower can always monitor the evil corpses within the range..."

"Is this thing really powerful?"

"Of course. Look at these leaders. Who are they? They are all big shots..."

"Why is this engineer so stupid? Hehe!"

"Is this the director of the Jiangda Alliance? He looks so young!"

"It has been renamed. It is now called the Youth League..."

"The Youth League is really amazing now. In less than half a year, its scale has grown to an alarming level. It has even suppressed the [Minjiang People's Club]..."

"father!"

"Grandma, grandma, look, it's daddy!"

Suddenly, something strange came out of the discussion between the sisters. When they looked down, they saw Xiao Yiyi, who had successfully escaped, squeezed over, pointed at the screen of her mobile phone and looked up to talk to Ms. Jiang.

As she spoke, she leaned her whole face in front of the screen and shouted into the phone: "Dad, Yiyi is in the mud, in the mud!"

Ms. Jiang laughed: "It's really Yiyi's father. Yiyi is so smart!"

Little Chen Yi seemed very anxious: "Dad, Dad is on the phone!"

"Dad is not in the phone. This is a video. Well... he is not in it anyway. Yiyi, take a look. Your dad is at work. Yiyi, go home tonight and tell your dad that you saw him today."

Little Chen Yi's eyes sparkled and she watched more attentively. From time to time, the screen cut to an ordinary young man. She tried calling her father to look at her, but her father ignored her every time, even though she clearly saw him.

The trainees next to her were confused. Who was her father? These leaders? They were all in their 50s and 60s. It was impossible, right?

They looked at Ms. Jiang, and she pointed casually and said, "Look, this young and promising ordinary young man, director or something, is her son-in-law."

"I don't know what this kid is doing recently. He said he would be on the news today, and he really was..."

Director Chen, if you put it on the Internet, not many people would know about it. It's like everyone knows Huawei, Xiaomi, Tesla and BYD, but when it comes to the leadership teams of these companies, if you say a name, xxx, ordinary netizens really don't know it. After all, who pays attention to this?

It’s like someone around you suddenly asks you, “Hey, you use an iPhone too?” You’re about to say, “Teacher, do you use an iPhone too?” But your teacher says, “No.” Then I suddenly remember that my son uses an iPhone… Damn!

"Jiang, Teacher Jiang, is this Director Chen Yiyi's father?"

"Yes."

"Director of the Youth League?"

"I don't know... I haven't even asked."

"..."

"Teacher Jiang!"

Ms. Jiang was splitting the fork when a large group of people suddenly came up to her and asked her questions, as if they wanted to investigate her thoroughly.

Even Jiang Cailian couldn't hold it anymore. These people had no idea what the Jiangda Alliance was like now. No, it should be said that the Youth League was like this. As the daughter of a businessman, and as the daughter of a businessman who had a little connection with the Minjiang Chamber of Commerce, she truly understood the horror of the Youth League.

Although she didn't know any Director Chen, but she could be introduced here and be interviewed live in front of CCTV media with a bunch of senior leaders in the province. Could she be an ordinary person?
You have these resources, and you tell me that you failed in your dream of becoming an entertainer and came back to be a body shape instructor?

However, halfway through the live broadcast, the picture suddenly seemed to become messy.

"What happened?"

"It seems that the transmitter of this dream monitoring tower has sounded the alarm?"

"Why call the police? Is there something wrong with the machine? Where did this little Shui brother get the bow and arrow, and why did he rush out?"

"This is a problem detected!"
