《Rebirth of the Entertainment Giant》Taming

After he had listened to Wang Jingwen's remarks, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but blink.
Although Wang Jingwen did not say anything, Zhang Xiaohua was not a fool as he naturally heard the meaning behind Wang Jingwen's words.
Simply put, she just wanted to use her own body in exchange for the right to do the song's vocals. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said something like “to talk alone" with herself. Her implication was heard by Zhang Xiaohua and it was already clear.
Indeed, according to Wang Jingwen, regardless of whether the other party was the boss or the director. As long as the other party was a man and the first was a woman, and when both parties had certain needs to be met, this choice would naturally produce agreements.
This kind of agreement allowed both parties to profit. Their interests may involve money, but it may also involve physical aspects or spiritual aspects. This habit was widely known and was not a secret at all. It was referred to as the "hidden rule."
In fact, for Wang Jingwen and even many female stars, they used their own 'capital' to trade and then got what they wanted, there was nothing wrong with it. It was precisely because of their own needs.
For Wang Jingwen's style of work, Zhang Xiaohua was not surprised. Things like "hidden rules" were not rare in his previous life and the news was reported almost daily. It is no exaggeration to say that, as long as there were people, these kind of rules would be formed. Especially within the entertainment circle. For this, Zhang Xiaohua had already seen many times.
However, although this kind of rule is universal, there were many hidden dangers. At least on Earth, this kind of rule didn’t know how many people's reputations had been destroyed. Once exposed, it would be a lifelong blemish, which would be lingering every day.
Zhang Xiaohua's heart was caught wandering by Wang Jingwen's remarks, but for the time being, he did not dare to take the risk.
Caution saved lives.
Now that the business was still in its infancy, he didn’t want to wreck his business by risking it, or it could have an adverse effect on his own reputation, including the entire company and even his entire development plan.

Zhang Xiaohua was a man who wanted to be the "King of the Entertainment World". He couldn't destroy his reputation by doing something stupid and dangerous. Moreover, Wang Jingwen was not very trustworthy. Only the Gods knew whether or not she would leak their affair, just to get back at him.
‘I still want to start low-key. As for the unspoken rules, well we can always reconsider it later...’
However, since he intended to sign this Wang Jingwen, he must first train her like a horse. Otherwise, who knew if she would return to her previous attitude.
"Give me your glasses." This shout resounded like thunder and instantly penetrated her eardrums!
For a moment, the audience was deathly quiet.
Wang Jingwen felt like she was attacked by a thunderbolt, but she did not dare to neglect. She quickly took off her sunglasses and finally showed her entire face to Zhang Xiaohua.
Almost at the same time, the clear skies of the 10,000-mile sky were suddenly raging with lightning. Dark clouds covered the entire city which was now enveloped in a dark and shady atmosphere. Immediately afterwards, they heard a crack of thunder. To break the silence of the void, the reverberating sounds of heavy rain echoed through the darkness.
Yuan Datong was also shocked by Zhang Xiaohua's sudden change in pace.
He always felt that Zhang Xiaohua, who he knew today, was like the weather in April. It was always erratic, unpredictable, and he couldn't help but notice how unfamiliar he was becoming to him.
Looking at Wang Jingwen's face full of powder, Zhang Xiaohua shook his head in disappointment, and in order to completely destroy the arrogance of Wang Jingwen's heart, he only said: "You are not my ideal singer anymore."
After listening to this, Wang Jingwen hurriedly asked, "I'm sorry boss, but I would like to ask, what is your ideal singer? Although, you said I'm not her, I will try to change my image until you're satisfied boss."
In fact, Zhang Xiaohua had listened to Wang Jingwen's voice through the music video before and he was very satisfied with it. However, as a singer, a nice sound was not enough. She must have a good image, unless she was going to become a behind-the-scenes singer and she was not going to show up in music videos or to public events.

This Wang Jingwen was an impeccable beauty, but in comparison to the pure image Zhang Xiaohua had in his mind, it was too different.
Especially the layer of foundation on her face, its thickness is estimated that even if someone cuts her with a knife, it wouldn't necessarily be able to hurt her face. It was stunning but vulgar, it was really difficult to see any hints of shyness or purity.
She needed to completely change her current image.
"Do you really want to sing this song?" Zhang Xiaohua already knew her answer. The purpose was naturally to give Wang Jingwen a touch of hope. He would thoroughly tame her.
"Yes, I really want to. I ask boss to give me this opportunity and if I ever become rich in the future, I will never forget the understanding of boss today!" Wang Jingwen resolutely guaranteed.
Zhang Xiaohua gently smiled, he was silent as he slowly turned and looked out the door.
As he looked at the heavy downpour, Zhang Xiaohua's face inadvertently showed a smirk, then in the tone of an order, he said: "Well, go outside, stand in the rain and wash all that heavy makeup off your face. Then we can talk about cooperation."
"I would like to ask boss, you... What do you mean by this?" Wang Jingwen mind was full of confusion.
She really didn't understand what Zhang Xiaohua meant?
It's makeup, so what does it have to do with singing?
Singing was due to vocal cords, not by the face.
Zhang Xiaohua did not explain, nor did he need to explain. What he wanted was Wang Jingwen's complete obedience, rather than her doubts. His next face had shown indifference as he replied "Will you go or not? If you go, then you still have the opportunity to come back in and we can have a talk. If you don't go, then it's embarrassing for me to forgive you and that means I can't give you the rights to sing this song. I don't like people that will not obey me!"
Wang Jingwen finally understood what he meant.
His last sentence already explained everything.
In order to get the rights to sing, Wang Jingwen could only choose unconditional obedience. So in full view, she slowly went to the door, opened it and entered into the wind and rain.
Soon after, she was dripping wet from the rain, and the heavy makeup on her face was gradually washed off. She was drenched inside and out, and the thin-waist dress was tightly pressed against her skin. As if it was already integrated with her, her almost jade body was more clearly visible. Yuan Datong and the other males almost fell apart from the excitement. Even Emma could not help but erect a thumbs up. The woman's body was really worthy of being the envy and jealousy of others!
Through the veil of rain, as he looked at the slim woman in the storm, Zhang Xiaohua was also quite shocked.
It must be said that although Wang Jingwen could not compare with the Heavenly Queen level celebrities back on Earth, she had a few special temperaments.
She could be as beautiful as a rose, or as cool and proud as a plum blossom, and at the same time, she could be as pure as a lily. She gave people a feeling of diversity.
Even if Zhang Xiaohua was very clear that women like her were very fickle, he didn't worry too much. As long as she could help the company grow, he would use her.
Once the company had a reputation, it wouldn't be them who would be looking for stars, it would be the stars would come to the company and line up. This way, they could save time and concentrate on creating more songs with Yuan Datong. It could also be described as a double-edged sword.
All in all, so far, everything was under control. The next thing to do was to use this Wang Jingwen and take the first step towards the peak!

8 89Tales of Teleios
Born as a noble free-man, the only daughter of a lord, Arete of Syracuse was an ambitious young woman who would do anything to succeed her father's position. One day, her father was exposed of his secret movement attempted to overthrow the emperor... Tales of Teleios set in the ancient Greco-Roman. It is a very standard adventure, low fantasy, alternate historical story with common archetype and predictable storyline. It is a form of artistic expression. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQIA+ Content Tag 🙇 ESL Author 📖 A Very Brief Summary 📖 (Unavoidable Spoiler) This story is about Arete of Syracuse (the protagonist) who was on a journey to find a mysterious Teleios of Eretria. Travelling with her servant Matea, her maternal cousin Agave and a former hetaira named Pryne. Throughout their journey, they discovered the conspiracy behind the Emperor Nero's eugenic system. This story explores the topic of human advancement. Tracing the idea back to the Greco-Roman world, the idea of eugenicism started when humans attempted to achieve perfection through breeding enhancements. However, The Three Elders realised that they couldn't afford waiting on the natural process of evolution. Thus, they came out with the controversial idea of experimentation through the building up of monstrosities using different body parts of animals and attempting to achieve immortality through taking over the younger human bodies. Teleios means perfection, and the center of this story is about the journey of four very flawed characters: The protagonist, Arete was a skinny noble woman who was born premature and had amenorrhea. She was supposed to be drowned by the order of Emperor Claudius due to her imperfection. While Matea was born a perfect healthy person, but has had everything taken away from her. Agave who was born out of wedlock but was fortunate enough to be adopted into a noble family. And Pryne who was on her way to have a loving family but drifted instead throughout the world after making a decision that she deeply regretted and needed to overcome her sense of guilt along the way. The story will explore some of the most controversial topics which involved detestable ancient practices such as pedarastry, where as the Empress Sporus, being the victim of it, coping with her tragic experience through acceptance of the oppressor and her struggle for not being able to conceive. In summary, the topics were largely related to gender and sex. There will be violence and gore, as most of the fantasy works does. while the author here would like to inform the readers that this is not an erotica, nor it has any sentences that involve depiction of sexual activities. Therefore, this story is not for those who seek thrill on its sexual content. A dialogue of Empress Sporus: "The world itself abused us to a level unimaginable! Yet we have to learn to love the world! Simply to live! To make our life a little easier, a little happier. So what is wrong with that? Are you expecting me to go against the emperor when he is the one and only reason I became the empress?" Said Sporus.
