The Rich Family's Melon King Only Wants to Eat Melon, but Her Thoughts Are Heard Ch. 40

Mo Zhengtian took the phone and tapped in. Sure enough, there were the words "Baozi Entertainment." The two artists didn't have the flashy stage presence of big-name stars on TV, but they had some buzz going.

And all of this was the result of his daughter's hard work today.

After his own failed investments in short videos, Mo Zhengtian hadn't really paid attention to that space anymore.

But now that Mo Keyu's career was getting into the entertainment world, he didn't hesitate—downloaded the app, registered an account, and proudly became the 100th follower of Baozi Entertainment.

After dinner, Mo Keyu went back to her room and checked again—her artists had dropped to fifth on the trending list. The top spots were now filled with influencers who already had a fan base. Since she'd paid to get the top trending slot, fans of other celebrities had started attacking Baozi Entertainment's artists.

She clicked into Han Suyi's video. The comment section was full of nasty insults.

On Golden Wolf's account, people were calling him a country bumpkin, mocking and sneering nonstop.

There were even similar usernames popping up across both accounts every day, like someone was buying accounts just to smear them.

That's when the Yan family's second young master suddenly messaged her:

—The people ahead of you are all from the Gu family. No matter the industry, the Gu family, Shen family, and Pei family are absolutely not to be messed with.

Mo Keyu instantly knew what he meant. Even though she didn't get why this guy had changed so much after getting dumped by Zhaozhao, she still politely replied with a thank you.

Gu, Shen, Pei... Yeah, last time when a top-tier actor got completely blacklisted overnight, it had totally freaked her out. Someone that high up, just gone—works scrapped, career cut off, even blocked from working overseas. That's how powerful those families were.

She was only here to grab a piece of the pie and make money—not to make enemies.

But still, the Gu family was seriously petty. So what if they were trending? Did they really have to buy hate bots to trash her artists...

...

Mo Keyu brought Han Suyi and Wu Xiaotian to Moonlight Entertainment.

The one meeting them was Second Young Master Yan, Yan Hao. He looked visibly more worn out.

After Yan Fangping had officially kicked him out of the Yan family, Qi Zhao had still treated him nicely at first. She kept comforting him and subtly hinting he shouldn't completely burn his bridges with the family.

But after a week of waiting with no word from the Yan family, she totally flipped. Her attitude did a full 180.

In the end, she even started openly dating other people right in front of him.

Once he lost the spotlight of being the Yan family's second young master, a lot of people stopped treating him with the same respect. Some who weren't even as good as him laughed behind his back, and those who used to flatter him started taking subtle digs.

Moonlight Entertainment was still running, but rumors were already spreading that some artists were secretly looking for new agencies.

That rough patch made him finally face reality. He ended up begging his way back into the Yan family. But since the news of his return hadn't made headlines, most people still thought he'd been kicked out for good.

"President Yan, I mainly came here to learn from you," Mo Keyu said, "and, well... maybe leech a bit of popularity while I'm at it."

"I know," he said weakly. "Just call me Yan Hao."

"Alright, thank you for the trouble," Mo Keyu replied politely.

Yan Hao brought the three of them into his office, then had his secretary call over one of the artists.

In walked a tall, stunning woman in sky-high heels. She glanced at the three sitting nearby with her chin raised and spoke with obvious disdain:

"Did our company just sign three new artists?"

Mo Keyu thought she looked familiar—maybe she'd seen her in some ad before. She replied, "I'm not an artist. I'm the boss of Baozi Entertainment. These two are my company's artists."

"Boss?" The woman sounded a little doubtful. After all, this "boss" was so pretty she could've debuted herself. Then she let out a snort.

Sitting in his office chair, Yan Hao pointed at Wu Xiaotian, who was next to Mo Keyu. "I just called you here to let you know—I want you to start a fake dating buzz with that artist over there."

Wu Xiaotian's styling had been done that morning, which made his already handsome, heroic face stand out even more.

Realizing they were talking about him, he grinned wide at the beautiful woman, flashing his pearly whites. "Hello, my name's Wu Xiaotian, I'm twenty years old."

The moment he opened his mouth, his thick rural accent came pouring out. The actress, Huo Meng, instantly furrowed her brows.

This guy didn't seem all that bright—just looked like some clueless bumpkin from who knows where.

"Brother Yan, what's this supposed to mean? You want me to pair up with him...?"

She held back the nasty words that almost slipped out, but her face said everything.

"Brother Yan, aren't you thinking about my future at all? If I do a fake relationship with some random guy, what if it comes back to bite me as a scandal when I make it big?"

Yan Hao thought for a second. Huo Meng was a decently popular model and actress at his company. He made a compromise. "Then at least help promote their videos a bit. That much you can do, right?"

Huo Meng had seen the trending videos last night. She'd watched both of them—one bumpkin singing some outdated cutesy love song, the other one couldn't even speak proper Mandarin. It was obvious they'd bought their way onto the trending page.

Her expression tightened. She still looked hesitant.

Now Yan Hao was completely pissed. He slammed the table.

"Huo Meng, think about who gave you everything you have today. When you join a company, you follow its arrangements. The company already compromised for you—not even talking about hype, just asking you to repost and comment on videos of other artists. You can't even do that? Don't forget how you begged me for resources back then."

Huo Meng? Now Mo Keyu had a bit of an impression—she'd seen ads of her pop up while using her phone, always skipped them, so she must've had some level of fame.

Huo Meng's expression subtly shifted. She wanted to say something, but Yan Hao cut her off. "You were never like this before."

[Well, she found a new backer. Of course she'd start acting all high and mighty after getting an offer from the Gu family.]

[People are just like that. The second they think they've found something better, they leave without looking back.]

[If it weren't for Moonlight Entertainment, that family debt of tens of millions probably couldn't be paid off in this lifetime. Now at least she's debt-free and living better.]
