My capital is quite large.

Chapter 330 Opportunity!

The next morning, news that Ju Jingyi, the top female host of Siba Media, had unilaterally filed for contract termination quickly spread across the Chinese internet and various gossip forums.

To ordinary netizens and those who only care about the big screen and prime time, this is nothing more than a trivial contract dispute involving a minor idol.

Many people can't even pronounce "Ju Jingyi" properly, treating it as just gossip and jokes.

But within the vast and closed-off fan base of Siba, this was nothing short of a magnitude 9.0 earthquake.

The entire Baidu Tieba forum, support groups, and dedicated online communities were paralyzed almost the instant the news broke.

As the center of the girl group who just won the third general election at the end of July and became the most popular member, Ju Jingyi's fan base has always been the largest in the entire group.

"Ju Jingyi is terminating her contract? Is that true?!"

"Everyone knows how shady Siba's contracts are; the penalty for breach of contract is said to be astronomical! If Xiao Ju really leaves, how will she afford to pay that amount?"

"Waaaaah, I'm so worried! Those capitalists at Siba will definitely not let her go easily. Xiao Ju, please don't get blacklisted..."

The fan group was filled with gloom and despair, with countless die-hard fans worrying and anxious about their idol's future.

However, an hour later, a Weibo influencer revealed that "Ju Jingyi's next company after terminating her contract is very likely to be Haofeng Film and Television."

The fans, who were initially on tenterhooks, immediately came back to life and breathed a sigh of relief!

"Holy crap! The next player is Haofeng?!"

"That's alright! Everyone, please relax!"

"Who is Haofeng? He's Li Laobo, the ultimate money-making god in the Chinese entertainment industry!"

"They're probably so poor they only have money left. The breach of contract fee that Siba paid is probably not even enough for Boss Li to sell a new skin in King of Glory!"

Upon hearing the name "Haofeng," the fans immediately became incredibly calm.

In this circle, as long as you can get on Li Feng's good side, the so-called breach of contract penalties and contractual barriers are just a numbers game.

But some are happy while others are sad.

Seeing Ju Jingyi's fans celebrating, fans of other top members of Siba—Huang Tingting and Li Yitong—couldn't help but feel a surge of secret joy.

With the top star gone, resources are now available, and the mountain that has been weighing on their heads for years has been removed. Their own star can finally have a chance to rise to the top!

But outwardly, they continue to make sarcastic and cynical remarks on online forums and message boards.

"Wow, she's really climbed the social ladder! She made a movie called 'Sky City,' which was fully funded by Haofeng, and then completely forgot about all the fans who voted for her back then?"

"They pick up their bowls to eat meat, then put down their chopsticks and curse their mother."

"Fans have spent so much real money to make you the most popular girl group member, and you turn around and want to become an actress? Isn't that just too shameless?"

Faced with these sarcastic remarks, Ju Jingyi's die-hard fans were not going to tolerate them and quickly organized a counterattack in the comments section:

"Sour grapes! Keep being sour! Ju Jingyi got noticed by Haofeng Film and Television because of her talent."

"We're more than happy for them to pursue a better future!"

"Instead of wasting time typing on your keyboards here, why don't you go back and burn some incense for your idols and see if any big shot will be willing to spend hundreds of millions to buy their freedom!"

"Siba's shady contracts aren't something just anyone can get into and out of!"

A massive battle within the Siba fandom has begun amidst the clatter of keyboards.

……

at the same time.

Inside a private room of a traditional izakaya (Japanese pub) with lanterns hanging in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, Japan.

On the tatami mats, a charcoal grill is used to roast premium Wagyu beef, emitting an enticing aroma of fat.

Hayata, a senior engineer at Shin-Etsu Chemicals, was flushed and holding a sake cup, gulping down large mouthfuls of sake.

Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man with a refined and gentle demeanor, Mr. Miyamura.

In Hayata's eyes, this Mr. Miyamura was a very reliable shareholder representative who had recently moved to Tokyo after purchasing Shin-Etsu shares and was responsible for dealing with them, the technical staff.

For the past two weeks, Miyamura has frequently invited him to various high-end restaurants and izakayas.

He even paid out of his own pocket to help him solve several significant problems in the city, and their friendship naturally grew stronger day by day.

"Miyamura-kun... hiccup, life is such a fucking joke..."

As the alcohol took effect, Hayata, who had been keeping his grievances bottled up inside, started to stammer and began to complain in a somewhat self-deprecating manner.

"To be honest, my wife... I recently saw her chat history with another man on her phone. She's been cheating on me!"

"And my child, who took the entrance exam for an arts high school in Tokyo this year, failed again!"

"To pay for his schooling, I worked fourteen hours a day, like a dog, and what was the result?!"

"I even... I even started to doubt whether he was really my son when I looked at the child..."

Hayata's voice trembled: "But, Miyamura-kun, do you know what the most tragic thing is?"

"I know all of this, but I don't dare to say it out loud, I don't dare to divorce her, and I don't dare to get a DNA test!"

"If I were to expose this, my respectable middle-class life, which I maintain in the eyes of my neighbors, would be over!"

"My whole life will be a laughing stock in their mouths!"

"I could only pretend I knew nothing, and continue to go back to that house every day, pretending to live happily with her... This kind of life is simply hell!"

Looking at the middle-aged engineer in front of me, who was on the verge of being tormented and broken by life under immense mental pressure.

Sitting opposite him, Miyamura sensed an opportunity.

This is the gap he needs!

A key technical staff member is facing difficulties in his family and reputation!
