I Dominate the Entertainment Industry Through Top-Tier Star-Making

Who exactly is my agent?

In a certain café in the U.S., a young man of Chinese descent was patiently creating latte art. When he served the coffee, he noticed that the customers were a young brother and sister.

Despite their bickering, they instinctively cared for each other’s preferences, helping each other add sugar.

Watching this, there was always a hint of sadness in You Shutong’s eyes. His long bangs partially obscured his view, making him appear out of place in this world.

“Hey, Tong, working again?” His roommate appeared in the café and greeted him enthusiastically.

You Shutong simply nodded, maintaining a neutral attitude.

His roommate shrugged, not bothered by the cold response. He had grown used to his Chinese roommate’s aloof nature.

Still, he admired Tong. Good grades, wealthy family, yet willing to work hard and support himself. Word was, he even sponsored children in an orphanage.

Even if his personality was a bit strange, it didn’t stop them from getting along well.

“The usual?” You Shutong asked.

“Mm-hmm.”

Already familiar with his roommate’s preferences, You Shutong handed him the prepared coffee and watched as he left. Just then, his phone buzzed.

He opened it to find a notification for an email. Without hesitation, he clicked on it and remained frozen in place for a long time, his fingers trembling slightly.

A light suddenly appeared in his previously lifeless eyes.

Meanwhile, Lin Suoyan was in a complicated mood.

His mother was gravely ill and urgently needed money. Although he had made up his mind to sell his work, knowing he’d be a puppet for life, he had no other choice.

But before that, let me take one last look at the world that once belonged to me, just one more look.

Lin Suoyan opened Ting Music. Though he had only uploaded a few songs on the app, each one was like a carefully nurtured child, and the data looked promising. His fan base was gradually growing.

If his mother hadn’t had that car accident, maybe he could have become a well-known music producer. All he needed was more time.

Forget it, no point in thinking about that now.

With a bitter smile, Lin Suoyan opened the message center to check for fan messages. He replied to the ones that needed a response.

Among the few messages, one from You Aolan stood out. She claimed to be an agent and asked if he had any interest in signing a contract.

What a joke, right?

That was Lin Suoyan’s first thought, and he couldn’t help but smirk.

How could an agent seek out someone as unknown as me? I’m not even famous.

But…

Lin Suoyan tightened his grip on his phone.

If this was real, who would willingly sell their future?

With a “let’s see what happens” attitude, he responded, ready to negotiate with a scammer if necessary. He explained his situation to the agent, mentioning his mother’s urgent need for surgery.

It seemed like he was the scammer, trying to con the other person. Lin Suoyan smiled bitterly at the thought.

He expected it would take a while for the agent to reply. But to his surprise, You Aolan responded quickly.

To show sincerity, she asked for his bank account number and transferred 200,000 yuan without a word.

“There’s no rush. Use this money for your mother’s treatment first. Once her condition stabilizes, we’ll discuss the contract in detail. Here’s my phone number—contact me if you need anything.”

The glaring transfer notification on his phone left Lin Suoyan dumbfounded.

He double-checked several times, confirming that this wasn’t a dream.

My god… one, ten, a hundred, a thousand… it’s really 200,000 yuan?!

A flood of thoughts rushed through his mind in an instant.

His mother’s surgery only required 100,000 yuan, and 200,000 should cover all hospital expenses during her stay!

You Aolan’s bold transfer immediately solved Lin Suoyan’s urgent problem.

Isn’t she worried that I might take the money and not sign with her? Lin Suoyan’s mouth hung open, still in shock.

The next moment, Lin Suoyan made up his mind without hesitation. Better to sign with this agent than sell himself to a lowballing scumbag.

No matter what, I owe her this favor, and I’ll definitely repay it!

Gritting his teeth, Lin Suoyan rushed out of the hospital to withdraw the money from the bank.

Even as he sat in front of the surgery room, its red light glowing, he couldn’t stop wondering about the agent’s identity.

Who exactly is this powerful (and rich) agent?

Meanwhile, You Aolan was in a heated debate with a group of old-timers at the company.

Guan Jianye snorted, “Look at Cheng Yi. You two grew up together, and while he works seriously, you’re out here trying to hand the company to us? How many times have we told you, trust is important, but there’s a limit! Even we, the old folks, aren’t fully trustworthy. Why don’t you ever remember that?”

You Aolan let his words go in one ear and out the other, smiling all the while. “Uncle Guan, I’m not slacking off. I have my own plans.”

These men had been with the company since her parents and grandfather’s time. They were a key reason for the current success of the You Group.

Moreover, after she was left alone with her brother, this group had always supported her, generously passing down their experience to help her stabilize the company.

She remembered in her past life, when she stubbornly insisted on working at a small company as an agent, it was these old men who helped solve most of her problems and kept everything under wraps. Their support allowed her to focus on both company strategy and her personal endeavors.

If she couldn’t trust them, who could she trust?

Besides, as a leader, if she had to handle everything personally, then what were employees for?

You Aolan presented a PowerPoint, using the company’s metrics to analyze the current state of the entertainment industry, focusing on potential profits.

Businessmen chase profits, and this was the key concern for the higher-ups.

Once she convinced them, You Aolan immediately set her subordinates to work, registering the company and compiling a list of suitable locations.

There was a lot to do, and she couldn’t handle it all on her own.

Having lived a second life, she knew she didn’t need to be too stubborn. When help was needed, she would use it.

Though she preferred working alone, she now needed a trustworthy assistant. Her previous assistant, whom she trusted deeply and who was incredibly capable, was probably still in university, and calling her up now would be inappropriate.

After thinking it over, You Aolan decided to reassign the new butler from the family estate.

The old butler had passed away, and his replacement was a retired soldier who had been supported and trained by the You family since childhood. His loyalty was unquestionable.

Even in his forties or fifties, he was still strong and fit. Whether in military training or managing the estate, he maintained peak performance.

When the butler, Pang Jun, saw her again, he was so emotional that he could barely speak.

Seeing that she was willing to return to the family estate and bring him along, it was clear she had decided to move past the events of the past. This was an excellent sign.

One look at his eyes, and You Aolan knew what he was thinking, but she didn’t intend to explain. She would use him as her personal driver, butler, and assistant for a while.

Having him alone was enough—too many people would be a hassle.

Once the company was established, and she had her own team, she would let him return to the estate or perhaps assign him to help her brother, You Shutong. After all, she owed her brother quite a bit.

Before she knew it, half a month had passed.

Lin Suoyan’s mother’s condition had gradually improved. Though she would need another surgery, she was in good spirits and recovering well. She now had the energy to gossip with her fellow patients in the ward.

Upon learning that the agent had paid for her medical expenses, Lin’s mother, ever grateful, urged him to meet the agent as soon as possible and sign the contract if the agent was legitimate.

Lin Suoyan thought the same.

He set up a meeting with You Aolan but was utterly shocked when he arrived at the location.

Looking up at the towering commercial building before him, Lin Suoyan’s mouth dropped open.

Someone, please tell me… why is the meeting place at the You Group headquarters?!
