Ji Hao didn’t come back to his senses for a long time until Cheng Yi left.

Jiang Zhi transferred the money directly to the company’s account. “Ji Hao, the money has been transferred.”

She turned her head, only to find Ji Hao looking at her with burning eyes, his face full of admiration and worship.

“CEO Jiang, were you the one who pulled in the investors just now?”

Jiang Zhi paused for a moment. She didn’t know how to explain the twists and turns, so she said vaguely,”… I guess so!”

Ji Hao didn’t expect Jiang Zhi to keep her promise and pull in investors so quickly. The heavy weight in his heart was finally lifted..

“That’s great, CEO Jiang!”

He was about to cry and almost knelt down to Jiang Zhi. “The company is finally not going to close down.”

Jiang Zhi was amused by him. She gently patted his shoulder and looked at the curious employees outside the meeting room. Her tone was gentle but firm.

“Let’s continue to work hard together!”

She smiled and said with sparkling peach blossom eyes, “This is just the beginning.”

Because of Cheng Yi’s investment, the turnover of the entire “Star Glory” company suddenly came to life.

Jiang Zhi had gone to check Cheng Yi’s background after the incident. When they saw a row of high-end and luxurious company names, Ji Hao and Jiang Zhi were silent.

“CEO Jiang, it seems that we have found ourselves a golden thigh to latch onto this time.”

Ji Hao swallowed his saliva. He never expected such a refined-looking man to actually be a mysterious big shot in the financial world.

Jiang Zhi was just as shocked. She thought that Cheng Yi was at most a fresh corporate talent, but she didn’t expect him to be a tycoon.

How did Lu Mian know such a powerful person?

Jiang Zhi couldn’t quite connect the male host to the financial tycoon, so she could only put it to the back of her mind.

And after “Star Shine” mentioned Cheng Yi, it quickly received extraordinary attention in the industry.

Cheng Yi was known as the “Golden Eye”. All the companies that he liked were developing day by day.

With an investment of 30 million, Jiang Zhi soon launched a new round of company benefits.

She divided the performance contract into five grades, D to S. the higher the grade, the better the benefits.

This performance contract grade evaluation would be held once a year. For example, newly-discovered artists with mediocre talent could be promoted to a performance contract later on through hard work to raise the evaluation grade.

Moreover, the contract of “Star Shine” was renewed and revised once a year, which greatly satisfied the freedom of the artists.

Jiang Zhi also drew up the “Rookie training plan”, “Superstar Creation Class” and other innovative training sessions, which provided a perfect and wide platform for new artistes to learn and create stars.

When the benefits of Star Glory’s new reform were introduced, it was like a huge boulder that instantly stirred up a storm in the entertainment industry.

The entertainment industry was originally a place where people sacrificed their youth. Entertainment companies had more fresh blood, so their future development was more limitless.

And the benefits of the Star Glory Group undoubtedly provided a huge advantage, attracting countless newcomers who wanted to join the entertainment industry to flood in.

The Swallowtail entertainment company under Yan Zhang was the first to suffer a heavy blow.

Swallowtail had been established for a relatively short period of time, so the capital it had accumulated was much weaker compared to the other big entertainment companies. It relied more on the reputation of the Yan group to support itself.

After Star Glory’s reform, the newcomers who were wavering within Swallowtail chose to jump ship one after another as others looked on.

“Director Yan, seven people have already entered Star Glory. If this continues, I’m afraid that the number of artistes under our group will only dwindle.”

Yan Zhang took a deep puff of his cigarette, his eyes filled with viciousness.

“How’s the negotiation with Star Glory going?”

The assistant hesitated for a moment before smiling wryly. “When they heard that we were Swallowtail, they didn’t even let us in and directly kicked us out.”

Yan Zhang sneered. “Does Cheng Yi still think that the entertainment industry is a financial industry and that he can monopolize it?

“Let’s not interfere for now and let them be arrogant for a while.

“When they come into contact with the interests of certain people, naturally, there won’t be a need for us to make a move. Someone else would deal with them.”

Seeing that Yan Zhang could not come up with any countermeasures, the assistant looked at the thick stack of contract termination applications in his hands and felt a little uneasy.

Could Swallowtail really hold out until then?
