Chapter 224: 224 will never let you tank

I finally understand why nine-year compulsory education is so important! Are you okay upstairs? Aren’t you offending people? Is that what you’re thinking about?! Drug use is illegal, you know! Did that group of people break the law or what?

There are so many idiots, it can’t be helped. There was a famous star who went in, and his fans even talked about storming the jail, LMAO.

I think catching them by surprise is the best! Don’t even give those people a chance to prepare.

The Magic Capital’s police must be thrilled, right? Sitting at home and suddenly their KPI skyrockets?

Shouldn’t you be thanking Zhongxing, thanking Director Tang, thanking Boss Jiang?!

After the meeting, medical staff entered in a single file through the main doors, setting down their cases in the front row to prepare for sampling and testing.

Jiang Chuanning walked towards the backstage with a smile, while Yan Yueqing hurriedly followed suit.

Everyone looked at her slightly anxious face and thought to themselves that a brand ambassador really is different. Going for a drug test and still rushing to be first?

She used to be so skinny, it was like she was all skin and bones; probably couldn’t stay away from that stuff! But now she seems like she really hasn’t used any, otherwise why would she rush to her doom?

The crowd parted to give her a clear path.

The medical staff who had just set down their cases said cheerfully, "Miss Yan, please wait a moment~"

Yan Yueqing then realized that everyone was making way because they thought she wanted to be tested first?

The atmosphere had reached this point, and to retreat now would be impolite.

She obediently nodded her head, "Alright."

Director Tang arranged for the live broadcast crew to move the camera closer from a distance, focusing it on the sampling site.

One nurse used a certain treasure or a certain micro to authenticate personal information through verification; another nurse collected hair samples; one person was responsible for sealing, labeling, and storing the samples.

Their coordination was smooth and practiced, demonstrating their vast experience.

The live broadcast left the netizens commenting on how professional it looked!

Earlier, people were worried that Zhongxing’s drug test was just a publicity stunt, but now they could finally relax.

Everyone with keen eyes was glued to the screen, trying to guess from the subtle expressions of the sampled artists whether they were drug addicts.

After Yan Yueqing finished her test, she thanked the medical staff and quickly returned to the fifteenth floor.

In the living room, Jiang Chuanning was leisurely chatting with Yan Wang about something.

Min Zixian stared at Jun Yan longingly, but Little Iceberg remained face-crossed and seemingly closed off his five senses, not responding at all.

Tang Tang was the first to see her return and excitedly jumped down from the sofa: "Godmother’s back."

Everyone’s gaze shifted towards her.

Yan Yueqing changed her tone and walked towards Jiang Chuanning, "Teacher, about the brand ambassador thing, I’ve already withdrawn from the industry."

"Retiring doesn’t affect your role as a brand ambassador," Jiang Chuanning said, smiling with the demeanor of a big boss. "I just discussed this topic with Xiao Wang."

Ah? You talked to my darling about it?

Yan Yueqing immediately crouched down to look tenderly at her son, eye to eye, "Darling, do you want Mommy to return to the entertainment industry?"

Yan Wang reached out and gently fixed his mother’s messy hair from running, his tone as warm as can be, "Mommy, retiring and being a brand ambassador don’t conflict. Grandpa Jiang is right, Zhongxing needs a spiritual leader, and Mommy is that leader."

There were three considerations in making Yan Yueqing a brand ambassador, according to Jiang Chuanning: "Firstly, Zhongxing needs a long-term brand ambassador. Not to belittle the current crop of artists, but they are characters who grew up under the fans’ filter, not strong-willed. Don’t be fooled by the hundred or so people downstairs; at least three quarters of them are here for quick money! Once they have to concede benefits, they’ll run faster than anyone."

While Zhongxing’s reform is a good thing, the reform has not brought benefits to them.

At least for now, the only benefit is the change from seven-year contracts to one-year contracts.

Without seeing the benefits, many will leave.

Yan Yueqing instantly understood, "Teacher is worried that most of them will terminate their contracts?"

Yan Wang spoke with feeling, "Brand ambassadors can be frequently replaced, but a company’s brand ambassador needs to be consistent to reflect the company’s longevity and perseverance."

Teacher Jiang nodded, "Secondly, if Zhongxing is to combat negative influences, then the brand ambassador, like a spiritual leader, must never ’flip over’ or collapse. Otherwise, it would be like slapping our own face. Besides you, who else can achieve that?"

Jun Yan came back to life, running to her side and clinging to her, "Right, Mom, nowadays brands basically rely on huge penalties to restrain artists’ behavior. A lot of people take chances, thinking they’ll never get caught. But once they ’flip over,’ no matter how they compensate, it’s the brand that ultimately loses out. And since Zhongxing is a big company, they obviously can’t choose those people~"

Even for Meng Chengchu, whom Mom holds in high regard, Jun Yan didn’t really trust.

People change, who can guarantee what someone will do when out of sight?

Yan Yueqing nodded in agreement.

Teacher Jiang spoke leisurely, "Thirdly, the brand ambassador represents Zhongxing’s image. Since we’ve decided to be the ’clear stream,’ we will inevitably be targeted by some petty schemers. The brand ambassador is the first in line! Without considerable ability to protect oneself, it won’t be long before the adversaries take them down."

Min Zixian listened intently, "Worthy of Teacher Jiang! Such a clear analysis! Yueqing, this role is tailor-made for you, stop declining."

Yan Yueqing conceded, "Alright."

Ah... there’s this feeling of being duped, but what Teacher said makes sense, and I can’t refute it. What to do?

Jiang Chuanning smiled and sat back on the sofa, his gaze warm yet profound.

Actually, there’s one more critical point.

Zhongxing is hers!

Miss Xing, I hope you live in Hua Country like the sun, fierce and blazing.

The drug testing initiative Zhongxing launched was grand, spreading across the entire network in just one afternoon.

Almost all the hot topics were about this!

"Zhongxing’s company-wide drug test, addicts about to be exposed!"

"Yan Yueqing leads the drug test!"

"Yan Yueqing becomes the sole brand ambassador for Zhongxing."

"Zhongxing challenges the entertainment industry’s name for purity!"

A small meeting sent the entertainment industry’s second-tier companies to the peak of public discourse!

Many regional anti-drug authorities released positive statements.

Plenty of content farms skipped their lunch just to prepare press materials!

Netizens who love to watch the excitement couldn’t wait to comment from their phones.

Splendid Culture.

Jin Kai put down his phone with a gloomy expression, his face becoming sterner as he listened to the panicky report from his assistant.

"Brother Kai, there are a few from Zhongxing whom we wanted to poach. When you were drinking with them, you set them up... This drug test will surely find them out! If they implicate you..." The assistant dared not imagine that scenario.

Jin Kai furiously waved his hand, smashing the potted plant on the table.

"Useless trash!" His eyes grew colder, "Director Tang dares to pull this move, he is digging his own grave! Get the PR department ready to leak the news that those people use drugs ahead of time."

"Brother Kai?!" The assistant thought Jin Kai was making matters worse.

"Aren’t you going yet?!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"
