Chapter 261: Fortunately, She Did Not Have To Inherit the Company, So She Could Be a Good-For-Nothing At Ease

Shi Xi quickly said, “This is a society ruled by law. Don’t do anything stupid.”
“I’m talking about returning that little wolf cub to his mother and driving them abroad.” Tao Yuxuan glanced at Shi Xi. “What do you think I’m going to say?”
Shi Xi: “…Even if you send them away, what if your father finds another woman to have a child with?”
Tao Yuxuan was silent.
Shi Xi said, “But I’m not very familiar with such things. Why don’t I look for my brother later and discuss it with him?”
When it came to fighting for a family fortune, one should look for a professional.
Tao Yuxuan was two years older than Shi Xi. She went to school early and her studies were average. She had long gone overseas to gild herself with gold, but she had not learned much.
If Tao Yuxuan took over the company, it would only be a few days before the company went bankrupt.
Shi Xi dyed her hair and was very satisfied with her new hair color.
Among her long black curly hair, only one or two strands of blue were faintly discernible. It was low-key and ostentatious.
Tsk, it was beautiful!
After coming out of the hair salon, Shi Xi even deliberately looked around.
“What are you looking for?” Tao Yuxuan asked.
“There’s a money swindler nearby who often comes out to swindle people,” Shi Xi said cautiously.
Tao Yuxuan came to a sudden realization. “Is it a thin and small man? He was caught and brought to the police station.”
Shi Xi thought about the price of the scammer’s items and sighed. “It’s not easy to make a small business deal.”
Tao Yuxuan said, “Don’t worry about those irrelevant people. Quickly bring me to Big Brother Shi!”
“Didn’t you think about finding him yourself?” Shi Xi asked.
“I’m sorry.” Tao Yuxuan smiled awkwardly. “I’m not that close to Big Brother Shi either.”
Shi Xi thought about it and agreed.
With Tao Yuxuan’s tireless personality, Shi Xu should have stayed as far away as possible.
Shi Xi asked again, “Didn’t you go to Leng Qiankun to discuss it?”
Tao Yuxuan said, “The idea Leng Qiankun gave me, it’s the same idea you’re thinking of.”
Shi Xi: What idea did I think of?
She didn’t think of any idea — the idea of cracking the wolf cub?
That was indeed Leng Qiankun’s style.
Shi Xi shut her mouth.
When they reached the Shi Corporation, Shi Xu listened to Tao Yuxuan’s description. With a gentle smile on his face, he said to Tao Yuxuan, “If you want to learn how to manage a company, I can find some time to teach you.”
“But dealing with family matters… I’m sorry, I don’t have any good methods either.”
It was difficult for an upright official to settle family matters.
Shi Xi did not want to get involved with the Tao family’s matters at all.
Tao Yuxuan looked at Shi Xu. “Big Brother Shi, do you think that I can take over the Tao Corporation after studying for a month?”
Shi Xu replied, “It’ll be faster if you dream.”
The two of them discussed while Shi Xi lay on the sofa at the side and started to search for news about the Tao Corporation.
The Tao family had started from selling household appliances. Although Father Tao’s character was bad, he had made a lot of money from selling electrical appliances back then. Now, he had opened his own power plant.
The shadow of the Tao family could almost be seen in almost all the small household appliances in Feng City.
Although they were in the lower end of the market, they were better at being cheap and having a high turnover.
Father Tao was currently in his prime, and he would not give up his power easily.
He still wanted to groom his son to be the successor.
After Shi Xi finished reading the information on the Tao Corporation, she went to look at the current stock market situation of the Tao Corporation.
It was very stable, very good.
She did not expect that scumbag to be so good at doing business.
After reading these, Shi Xi listened to a few more sentences from Tao Yuxuan, and she suddenly felt resentful that she did not live up to her expectations.
As long as Tao Yuxuan could inherit one-tenth of her father’s business ability, she would not be a good-for-nothing.
Shi Xi thought of herself again.
Fortunately, she didn’t have to inherit the company, so she could be a good-for-nothing in peace.
Hehe.

Shi Xu and Tao Yuxuan discussed for a long time, but Shi Xi didn’t hear anything useful from their discussion.
When they left, Tao Yuxuan was holding a stack of books and information, feeling a little depressed.
“Alright, my brother said that he will help you. You just need to study hard,” Shi Xi comforted her.
“If I had the ability to study, I wouldn’t have fallen to such a state.” Tao Yuxuan put the books in the car, feeling extremely depressed.
Shi Xi thought about it and agreed with Tao Yuxuan’s words.
Even though this cannon fodder female supporting role did not have much brains, her understanding of herself was still very accurate.
Shi Xi said, “Didn’t my brother give any other suggestions?”
Tao Yuxuan was even sadder. “He said that I could choose a marriage alliance.”
The corners of Shi Xi’s mouth twitched slightly as she carefully probed, “Are you going to be my sister-in-law?”
Tao Yuxuan looked at Shi Xi. “I would like to.”
Shi Xi: “…”
“Big Brother Shi suggested that I get a son-in-law to help me manage the company.” Tao Yuxuan looked dejected. “But I’m afraid that I’ll get an ingrate.”
Tao Yuxuan’s thoughts were not without reason.
After all, to a man, the three greatest pleasures in life were to be promoted, get rich, and die.
Once he had money and power, he would want to change his wife.
Shi Xi asked, “Then which one do you want to choose?”
Tao Yuxuan looked desperate. “I don’t even want to choose. I don’t want to get married. I haven’t had enough fun yet!”
Shi Xi: “?”
‘You still want to have fun at this time?’
‘Goodbye, you!’
Tao Yuxuan had fallen into a difficult situation in her career. If she took a step back, she would be handing over her assets to the illegitimate son.
But it was so hard to move forward.
Tao Yuxuan hugged her books and cried.
Shi Xi could not say anything to comfort her. She could only send her blessings. “Don’t cry anymore. Send me to the dance studio first. I need to go practice.”
Tao Yuxuan: “…”
*
In the blink of an eye, it was the finals of [Star Idol].
Shi Xi had arrived at the program team ahead of time to watch the rehearsal on the stage of the finals.
At the last moment, everyone tensed up, afraid that they would make a mistake.
There were three stages for the 21 finalists.
Each stage was carefully practiced.
In addition, the trainees would prepare a short solo stage.
At this time, the mentors could only play a limited role.
Everything depended on the trainees’ own efforts and the votes of the fans.
Thinking of this, Shi Xi let out a breath.
There was also a stage for her tonight!
She didn’t know if she would have the chance to perform and dance again after this stage.
After all, she didn’t walk the path of an idol. In the future, she might just be filming and performing variety shows.
The lights on the stage were dim. Shi Xi walked onto the stage and let out a sigh of relief, waiting for the background music to start playing.
..
The final of [Star Idol] had arrived. The netizens had ordered takeout in advance, waiting to see who would form the group in the end.
Other than the trainee fans and mentor fans, there were also many haters who were looking forward to Shi Xi making a fool of herself in the finals.
[All the previous mentors had to perform on stage. There will be an exception this year.]
[A popularity mentor has such a nice reputation. They don’t have to do anything to be able to sit in the teacher’s seat and point at others.]
[How ironic. A trainee who has been singing and dancing for eight years won’t be able to make a name for himself, but a person who has never learned how to sing and dance can become a teacher.]
[Shi Xi was invited to be a popularity mentor. She was originally there to save the situation, but the black fans like to point fingers.]
[You’re mocking Shi Xi for not being able to sing and dance. Have you never seen Shi Xi’s stage before? Is her singing and dancing not better than your brother’s?]
But the anti-fans never saw the clarification. They only knew how to point fingers at the mulberry trees and curse the locust tree.
[I bet that Shi Xi won’t be on the stage for the finals.]
[The stage for the finals is all open mic. I bet that Shi Xi will capsize.]

Before the finals, the black fan group also dug out Shi Xi’s schedule.
[After Shi Xi was rejected by the production team, she never went to Yanjing to practice. What stage could she have?]
[I heard that Shi Xi is in a dance studio in Feng City. She will definitely prepare the stage for the finals!]
[In a small place like Feng City, what can she practice? Tsk, tsk, tsk. I’m just waiting to see Shi Xi make a fool of herself.]
[Shi Xi has performed on stage twice. The first time was for the theme song. Actually, her performance was just so-so. She was blown away by the fans. The performance wasn’t good either. The fans only know how to blow it up.]
[…]
It was a wave of negative comments.
Even the fans were starting to doubt their own understanding when they saw such comments.
Was Shi Xi really not good enough?
Was it because they, as fans, had brought the filter of fans to watch, and that was why they felt that Shi Xi was outstanding?
..
Ji Yin sneered when she saw this comment.
Although she didn’t know who Shi Xi was blocking, for such a large-scale smear of Shi Xi to say that she was ordinary, it was definitely because someone had hired a water army and deliberately led the public’s opinion in the wrong direction.
Shi Xi’s singing and dancing were ordinary?
Ji Yin had previously chased after Gao Yi, who was at the top of the singing and dancing stream.
In her opinion, Shi Xi’s singing and dancing were definitely not something that an ordinary idol could do.
@You Must Have a Problem With Your Genes: [Just wait patiently for the finals. Don’t go against the black fans.]
@Harvest Your Skull With Sister Qiao’s Fan: [We’re already at the finals. When the time comes, we’ll record a direct shot of Xi Xi Zi for everyone.]
[Everyone, don’t go against the anti-fans. The black fans only want to hear what they want to hear.]
[Just focus on watching the finals!]
Just as the entire internet was paying attention to the finals of [Star Idol] and they were discussing Shi Xi’s strength, another piece of news about the theme song of [Nine Blades of Tang] was released.
#Alex is going to play the opening song for [Nine Blades of Tang]#
Once the news was out, the netizens did not care about the finals of [Star Idol] anymore and went to eat the melons.
[Really? Really? My idol has finally released a song again!]
[Oh my god, Alex hasn’t released a song in two years. Is she going to release a song for [Nine Blades of Tang] this time? Ah, ah, ah! So happy! There’s another song that can be played on repeat!]
Alex, the mysterious female singer of the music industry, had suddenly appeared two years ago with a song called ‘Shadow.’ After releasing the song, she had soared to the top of the music charts online.
A genius lyricist, an all-rounder singer…
Countless honors were bestowed upon her, and many programs offered her an olive branch, but this mysterious great god never paid them any attention.
After that, Alex released three more songs in a row and disappeared without a trace.
[Has it been released? Where can I listen to it? I’ve been playing her songs over and over again! Finally, there’s a new song!]
[It looks like I’ll have to wait until this show airs before I can hear it. But the future is bright, I’ll be able to hear it eventually!]
[I heard that Nan Wan offered 1 million yuan to ask Alex to write a song for her. Looks like Alex has agreed?]
[Nan Wan is really rich. As expected of the little princess of Yanjing’s circle.]
The direction of the wind changed in an instant, from anticipating Alex’s new song to anticipating Nan Wan’s new song.
When the netizens saw that the song had yet to appear, they went back to watch the finals of [Star Idol].
The live broadcast of the finals was the mentors’ opening!
[Star Idol] Live Broadcast.
The screen was dim, and there was only one minute left before the live broadcast began.
A beam of light fell.
The girl stood on the stage with her back facing the camera. A light purple long-sleeved dress paired with a black high-waisted short skirt made the girl’s legs look long and slender.
The background music sounded, and the girl turned around with her hair flowing.
A part of her partially visible blue hair was braided, and there were a few small butterfly hairpins on it. When her long hair parted, it seemed as if there were butterflies circling around the stream.

The stage lights lit up from behind. The moment the girl turned her head, her hair seemed to glow.
Her skin was fair and beautiful, she had almond-shaped eyes, and her eyebrows were willowy. When she smiled, she had a bright and beautiful self-confidence.
The girl held a short gun in her hand and raised it elegantly. She blinked her left eye and aimed at the camera.
Bang–
This shot seemed to have hit someone in the heart.
Shi Xi put the gun back on her waist and took two steps forward as the music played. She kicked her legs and twisted her waist. She opened her mouth and sang:
“Sneak into the ruins of no man’s land and look at the panic in your eyes.”
“Face off against the two ends. The muzzles of the guns are intertwined.”
Her voice was soft, but when she sang this wild song, it had a unique charm.
The girl twisted her shoulders and lifted her legs. Her fingers swiped upwards from her calf, and when she let go, she caught a wave. Her casual smile was like a rose undercover in the enemy’s territory, seducing and attracting the enemy’s boss.
Every movement was precise, neat, and carried a hint of seduction.
The audience below the stage watched in amazement as they waved the light sticks in their hands.
The netizens who were watching the live broadcast exclaimed, [D*mn, isn’t this Alex’s song? She actually gave it to Shi Xi to dance?]
[It must be the copyright bought by the [Star Idol]. How can Shi Xi dance to Alex’s song?]
[It must be the copyright bought by the program team. Previously, Nan Wan didn’t even make Alex bow down to her for 100,000 yuan. How can Shi Xi have the money?]
[…]
[It’s hilarious. The black fans can’t mock Shi Xi’s singing and dancing. They’re starting to look for other black spots.]
[Xi Xi’s singing and dancing are so stable! This song is super hard to sing! Ahhh, Shi Xi is the best!]
[Singing this song while dancing, Shi Xi is really strong.]
[Which sour lemons are jumping around? Hehe, so they’re Nan Wan’s fans.]
[…]
Even when it was a beautiful girl dancing, the black fans still worked diligently, afraid that no one would tarnish Shi Xi’s reputation.
The girl on the stage was still emitting a dazzling light.
All the lights were turned on, illuminating the brightest and most boundless stage.
“The smoke has yet to disperse, and danger pervades the air.”
“Reuniting in the deepest part of no man’s land, snatching the blue romance.”
Behind her, there were a few male dancers who were tall and strong, making the girl appear petite and dainty, full of danger.
In comparison, Shi Xi’s movements were the most eye-catching. Even after the intense dance, her voice was still steady and clear, without a hint of hurried breathing.
“If love requires a heart…”
“Then I will be loyal to the desire to love you, desire.”
After the chorus, the music gradually calmed down and disappeared into the end. The stage lights were also gradually extinguished, leaving only a beam of light on Shi Xi.
The girl knelt on the stage, pointed her gun at the camera, and pulled the trigger.
Bang–
A delicate and alluring blue rose bloomed from the muzzle of the gun.
From the lens, one could see the most enchanting blue rose and the clearest and purest eyes.
The beautiful eyes looked at the lens, blinked slightly, and gave a faint smile, presenting the perfect ending lens.
[In the dangerous no man’s land filled with smoke, I give you the most romantic blue enchantress.
If love requires a heart, then I will be loyal to the desire to love you, desire.]
..
After the music ended, Shi Xi’s ending pose paused for more than ten seconds before she saw the ‘OK’ sign below the stage.
At the same time, the lights on the stage were completely extinguished.
Meanwhile, the audience below the stage cheered, “Encore! Encore!”
“One more time!”
“Shi Xi is so beautiful!”
“Encore!! Encore!!”
The audience below the stage gathered around shouting “Encore!” and the scene was extremely spectacular.
The stage lights were all on, and Shi Xi was already standing in the center of the stage, ready to host.

The lights were all on, and Shen Hanquan stood in the middle of the stage. He smiled and said, “Hello, everyone. Welcome to the night of the final competition of [Star Idol]. I am the sponsor: Shen Hanquan.”
Shi Xi stood beside Shen Hanquan and smiled faintly. “I am the popularity mentor: Shi Xi~”
The applause below the stage was like thunder.
Shen Hanquan asked, “Did everyone enjoy the performance just now?”
“Yes! Yes!!”
Hearing the affirmation from the audience, Shi Xi’s eyes curved into crescents. “Thank you!”
Who wouldn’t like to be praised, adored, and acknowledged?
Meanwhile, Shi Xi using her gun to shoot the blue rose animation smoothly made it onto the trending searches.
[Star Idol] was currently the most popular variety show. Today was the night of the finals. The 8G surfers were all squatting in front of the screen to watch, so naturally, they were struck by Shi Xi’s beauty.
#Shi Xi Blue Rose#
[Ahhhh! I’m going to die today because of Shi Xi’s beauty!]
[Everyone, you’re flattering me. Other than my wife’s looks, her voice, and her graceful dance, she doesn’t have any other good points (doge head).]
[That’s my wife! I’m so angry that my language is so poor, and I can’t describe my feelings. I can only ‘Ahhhh’ like a mute.]
[I finally understand why the ancient emperors were so muddle-headed. If I were the emperor, I would also want to watch beautiful women dance every day.]
[…]
The performances of the finals were still continuing, but Shi Xi was in front, and the performances at the back continued.
It was also very good to watch!
Shi Xi was a girl. Her performance on the stage was charming and handsome, causing people to hiss and cry for their wife.
However, other than vocal instructor Zheng Feicai, the rest of the performances were all performed by male idols!
Zheng Feicai was in the middle of the vocal group. She played and sang a lyrical song. Those who heard it were heartbroken as they listened to it and shed tears.
Shuo Nan’s dancing skills were strong. He stepped on the chair and did a backflip. He ended his dance with one knee on the ground.
He looked at the camera with an evil and charming gaze. He panted slightly, and the necklace hanging around his neck swayed.
Ai Yi’s rap was as strong as ever. Although he was chubby, he was very flexible.
Shen Hanquan was an all-rounder in singing and dancing, and his control of the stage was like a fish in water. When he stepped onto the stage, he enjoyed the stage.
The stage of a few male coaches was burning and handsome, with the unique fortitude of men exploding, pushing the entire finals live to the climax.
Everyone had their own highlight moments.
The audience below the stage couldn’t bear to blink their eyes. They waved their arms, and their voices were hoarse from shouting.
The netizens watching the screen couldn’t take their eyes off the screen.
Shi Xi watched from below the stage and couldn’t help but cheer for them.
As expected of the coaches of [Star Idol]!
They were all excellent colleagues!
The trainees who were performing on the stage carried pressure and motivation as they stepped onto the stage.
The trainees who had not debuted had less experience on the stage, but their eyes were shining with the radiance of their dreams.
That was the dazzling radiance unique to young people.
After countless rehearsals in the practice room, they only had one chance to perform on the stage.
The cruel elimination system.
The friends who left one by one…
Had already set the final chapter of the farewell finale.
“The wings of dreams, sending you and me flying–”
“On the same journey, illuminating each other’s light.”
[Star Idol]
There was no born idol from a star.
There was only the star path that they worked hard to achieve.
Whether it was Bai Cangyang, who was the most popular, or Pei Jie, who worked hard.
They all wanted to reach the highest position.
After a series of performances, they finally reached the end.
Shen Hanquan took the list and said, “Thank you to all the audience for supporting the trainees…”
