Chapter 675: Chapter 675

Tonghua Entertainment announced that the large-scale girl group selection reality show "Strongest Female Trainee" is ready for production and will start shooting soon. Shortly thereafter, Shengshi Entertainment announced that their large-scale boy group selection reality show "Sunshine Youth Charge Ahead" is also ready for production and will start shooting soon!

Both major companies are clearly gearing up to throw down the gauntlet!

[6666, no wrong, competition brings pressure, which contributes to the prosperity of Huaxia’s reality show industry!]

[Tsk, not bad, Tonghua and Shengshi really are going head-to-head, huh? And here I thought they wouldn’t tear each other apart!]

[Tonghua Entertainment had planned the girl group reality show for a while, but Shengshi Entertainment only announced theirs after poaching Zhang Yingru. Tell me, isn’t Zhang Yingru a spy?]

[We discussed this last month already, why are we bringing it up now? Zhang Yingru is definitely a spy! If not, why would Shengshi Entertainment recruit her if not for espionage?

Could they really value her experience in leading girl groups? Think about it, reality shows are far from Shengshi Entertainment’s bread and butter!]

[Zhang Yingru is a double-edged sword. It’s undeniable that JY girl group had its glory days under her leadership, but it also faced its downfall with her at the helm, leading to the disbandment of a perfectly good girl group. The issues were not only with the members but also with the agent’s responsibility.]

[The shows haven’t even started filming yet, just rumors floating around. Now I’m already torn between watching the girl group or boy group show?]

[hhhh, there’s nothing to be conflicted about. Just watch the one that’s made with care. But honestly, I’m tired of these reality show face-offs. If they’re just rehashing the same old things, it’s really boring.] Thɪs chapter is updated by Nove1Fire.net

[I feel like Tonghua Entertainment’s quality will be a bit higher, considering how long they’ve been preparing.]

Amid heated online discussions, Zhang Yingru, in real life, caught wind of the online news. Her expression changed slightly as she hurriedly made her way to Shengshi Entertainment’s top floor, where the president resided.

At the time of her entrance, Shengshi Entertainment’s other Director Wu was also present, one of the planners for "Sunshine Youth Charge Ahead."

Zhang Yingru had been promoted to the position of Director upon her transfer, and Director Wu harbored great animosity towards her, seeing her as a formidable competitor. Thus, she faced opposition at every turn within the company.

In the workplace, everyone wants to advance, and it is inevitable for Director Wu and Zhang Yingru to pick at each other.

Just over a month after her transfer, Zhang Yingru had already clashed with him several times, with victories and losses on both sides, and neither gaining an advantage.

Seeing him there, Zhang Yingru hesitated, not speaking immediately.

Director Wu glanced at her sidelong, a shallow smile curling at the corner of his mouth, seeming at first glance to be a disdainful sneer.

The president of Shengshi Entertainment was looking down, finalizing some documents. After he flamboyantly signed his name at the bottom right corner of the paper, he raised his head to look at Zhang Yingru, his expression stern and majestic, "What brings you here?"

Zhang Yingru glanced at Director Wu.

Director Wu smiled, "It seems Director Zhang has some special intel to share with the president. I’ll excuse myself."

"No need, I have matters to discuss with you too. Stay," said the president without hesitation.

Zhang Yingru felt a chill in her heart, a premonition that things were not going well.

These past several weeks of confrontation with Director Wu had conditioned her to never feel at ease whenever he was around.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and spoke respectfully with her head bowed,

"President, I think that the Public Relations department released the news that Shengshi is also producing a major team reality show too swiftly. The previous rumors had already sparked enough discussion among netizens.

"I believe we should have lain low for a while and struck when Tonghua Entertainment’s hype had reached its peak. That way, we could have completely overshadowed them."

The president responded indifferently, "I understand what you mean. The PR department had considered this strategy as well, alongside several others. After internal discussions, we all agreed on the current plan."

"Whether we release the news earlier or later, we’re inevitably going to butt heads with Tonghua Entertainment. If we wait, Tonghua will gain unprecedented attention. By the time we release our news, we may attract some discussion, but not the kind of heat Tonghua has built up."

"On the contrary, releasing our news in sync with Tonghua will stir a much more intense reaction online. Look, aren’t the netizens responding well now? As we continue to fuel the hype over time, more and more of them will turn their attention here."

The clash between the two giants is thrilling just to think about!

Corporate competition is far from peaceful, unlike rivalries between celebrities.

Besides, when companies face off against each other, it tends to feel more significant than mere squabbles over press releases between stars.

After all, the larger the spectacle, the more people will watch.

Zhang Yingru bit her lip, "But..."

The president looked at her and said, "If you have any concerns, just raise them. Shengshi Entertainment’s sizable PR department has laid out all potential crises post-press release. Perhaps they’ve already found solutions to the issues you’re worried about."

Zhang Yingru glanced at the president, unable to discern his thoughts from his calm expression, hesitated, wondering whether to speak or remain silent.

Just then, Director Wu spoke up, advising kindly, "Director Zhang, if you have any doubts or good suggestions, just voice them. You used to be with Tonghua Entertainment, where methods differ from ours.

"Express your thoughts. Only through vigorous exchange of ideas can we ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

Director Wu’s words were laced with innuendo, subtly criticizing Zhang Yingru for not being forthcoming with her opinions and also taking a dig at her origins.

Tonghua and Shengshi had a long-standing grudge, and even after switching sides, Zhang Yingru still felt as if she were viewed as an adversary.

She knew of the animosity between Shengshi Entertainment and Tonghua Entertainment, thinking it was solely a competition for resources. She never realized the extent of the internal hostility towards Tonghua.

If she had known earlier...

Zhang Yingru’s hands, hanging by her legs, clenched slightly as she repressed her rising thoughts and maintained her composure while speaking,

"For this team reality show, Tonghua Entertainment has been preparing since last year. If we rush to compete with them, I’m afraid the netizens will start comparing the two shows."

Her voice softened a bit as she paused, "No matter which company comes off worse in the comparison, it will cause some damage."
