After My Contract Marriage with the CEO - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Investment

In the original novel, Ning Citian was idle and neglected her work, focusing entirely on her romantic life and handing over all her best resources to others.

The talent agency Ning Citian belonged to was a shell company with chaotic financial accounts. The few artists signed to it barely earned any money all year, leading people to suspect the company existed solely for money laundering.

When Ning Citian received the original host’s memories, she deeply questioned how such a “love brain” could grow how could she be tricked by Yan Hai into signing with such a company?

Fortunately, this company had no direct connection to Yan Hai. It was just a shell company Yan Hai happened to see; wanting to ensure Ning Citian had no career, he simply told her to sign there.

This made things easier to handle. If Yan Hai had controlled the company himself, she would have had to find a new agency to sign with.

The owner of this talent agency was a middle-aged man who owned other businesses and had long achieved financial freedom. He opened this company purely to fulfill a youthful dream of entering the music industry and releasing albums. However, he knew nothing about the entertainment industry and never thought of hiring professionals to manage it.

The boss released albums that went unnoticed. After releasing his songs, he whimsically decided to sign a few actors and singers but never considered how to provide them with resources, leaving them to fend for themselves. He didn’t expect a few “suckers” to actually come along.

Ning Citian was different from the other signees. The others were enthusiasts eager to enter the industry but had nowhere else to go and no one else to sign them. In contrast, Ning Citian had many top-tier agencies extending olive branches to her, offering gold-medal contracts. She refused them all just to join this strange agency—all because she was coaxed into it by Yan Hai.

Ning Citian looked at the one million yuan in her hand: “Boss, I have one million yuan that I can invest in the company right now.”

The Boss: ???

The boss’s name was Wang Ming, commonly known as Boss Wang. Lately, he had been thinking about dissolving this agency. Having passed the age of fifty, he didn’t even want to run his other profitable businesses anymore; he just wanted to retire.

In the original book, Ning Citian was the only person capable of making money for this shell company. After Boss Wang dissolved the company, Ning Citian participated in a variety show alone, was hated by the entire internet, and was eventually forced to leave the entertainment industry.

Ning Citian said: “I heard that President Wang intends to dissolve this company. Having been here for several years, I have a certain affection for it. I currently have one million yuan in spare cash that I can invest.”

No one would refuse such a windfall, especially Boss Wang, who had already given up on the company and planned to shut it down.

Ning Citian immediately transferred the one million yuan to the company’s account. She became the company’s largest shareholder, possessing decision-making power over all company affairs.

She looked at the title of the melodramatic “entertainment circle” novel she was in: My Girlfriend and I Both Became Best Actor and Best Actress.

Yan Hai had tricked Ning Citian into giving up the female lead role to Zhou Jun. Later, Zhou Jun used that role to become a rising “Best Actress” in one fell swoop. She and Yan Hai achieved success in both their careers and their love life a truly perfect life.

Meanwhile, Ning Citian was the ultimate “cannon fodder.” Her only thought was to win Yan Hai back, but after being humiliated by him with money, she gave up and never appeared in the novel again.

As for Yan Hai’s older sister, Yan Xiaoxi, she was even more of a background character. The novel only mentioned her in a few brief words; Ning Citian knew nothing about her.

The current timeline should be right before Zhou Jun becomes the new Best Actress.

Since the act of handing over the female lead to someone else cannot be changed, she would change what she could change.

Ning Citian had actually been nominated for Best Supporting Actress. However, the “love brain” Ning Citian was so immersed in the sorrow of her breakup that she didn’t even notice the messages from staff members regarding the awards ceremony. Consequently, the organizers couldn’t find her. To avoid embarrassment during the announcement, they temporarily replaced the Best Supporting Actress winner with another actress.

Ning Citian had received all this information.

The original host had missed such a great opportunity, but she certainly wouldn’t let it slip away.
