Chapter 179: Donated Artifact



"The second requirement, I need to donate an artifact to Lin'an Museum." Chen Yiyang stated his second requirement.

"What kind of request is that?" Yang Chengru didn't understand Chen Yiyang's meaning.

He knew that Chen Yiyang had a lot of valuable items, and if he was willing to donate them, the museum would be more than happy.

"It's like this." Chen Yiyang took out the photo of the Eastern Zhou Royal Tomb stone sculpture he had previously bought in the United States.

"I want to donate this artifact from the Eastern Zhou period. I bought it from the United States, where it was mistakenly believed to be an Indian cultural item."

"This is quite something." A glance at the photo was enough for Yang Chengru to recognize it as a top artifact worthy of a provincial museum.

After all, its age was considerable, and it had a unique design, well preserved.

More importantly, it was a lost artifact brought back from the United States.

Chen Yiyang's decision to donate this stone sculpture had its reasons.

Because this item held significant historical importance, in the collection world, it wasn't worth much money.

Donating it to a museum would be more meaningful.

"I'll talk to the museum's leadership; my donation comes with conditions." Chen Yiyang stated his terms.

"As long as it doesn't involve money, other terms are negotiable." Yang Chengru, although not knowing the specific requirements Chen Yiyang intended to propose to the museum.

But as long as it was a simple donation and not selling the artifact to the museum, it was quite negotiable.

Of course, Chen Yiyang didn't want money.

Under Yang Chengru's introduction and mediation, he quickly contacted the leadership of the provincial museum located in Lin'an.

After communication between both parties, the other side, after seeing the actual Eastern Zhou Royal Tomb stone sculpture and having it authenticated, gladly accepted Chen Yiyang's conditions.

Two days later.

The online attacks on Song Xi and Yang Jinlu were intensifying. After all, the first and third places were blocking many company's paths.

The entertainment industry, although teeming with professionals, only had a few hot stars.

Each carrot has its own pit.

Therefore, for talent agencies, it's not about how strong their talents are but about how to take down the competition.

However, just as various marketing accounts were working hard to publish articles and videos.

Lin'an's provincial museum issued a notice and a video.

The content of both the notice and video conveyed the same message.

They expressed gratitude to Ms. Song Xi and Ms. Yang Jinlu for donating an important national artifact, the Eastern Zhou Royal Tomb stone sculpture, which had been lost to the United States, to the provincial museum.

Suddenly, public opinion exploded.

Public relations heads of several talent agencies received calls from the bosses of marketing studios, informing them that black materials on Yang Jinlu and Song Xi would not be released for the time being, and previously released ones must be immediately deleted.

"What are you afraid of, just because they donated an artifact? It's not like they saved the world. I can pay double, isn't that enough?"

Jiuya Entertainment was the main force in purchasing blackmail material on Song Xi and Yang Jinlu this time.

Their artist Yanli was ranked fourth in Produce 101.

The ranking wasn't too bad, but Produce 101 would only form a group with 11 contestants in the end.

The top three would be considered the faces of the group.

These three would receive more resource tilts from Tengxu. In future variety shows, they would also have more screen time.

So for Jiuya, securing one of the top three spots was crucial.

Originally, Jiuya was determined to secure a place in the top three.

First place, Song Xi, was unbeatable in singing and dancing, which they acknowledged.

The second place had decent strength, backed by an old agency that had cooperated with Tengxu for a long time. Certainly, their artist would secure one of the top three spots.

So, they felt it was acceptable for their artist to take third place.

But they never expected that a Yang Jinlu would suddenly emerge halfway through.

Jiuya looked into it and discovered Yang Jinlu belonged to the same agency as first-place Song Xi.

Continuing their investigation,

The boss of this Shabby Studio agency was named Chen Yiyang.

A simple online search would uncover all sorts of news about Chen Yiyang.

Of course, Chen Yiyang was now tagged online as a mysterious second-generation rich, with extensive connections in the entertainment industry.

Jiuya immediately became furious.

They believed that since Chen Yiyang had so many connections in the entertainment industry, he must also be familiar with its various unspoken rules.

No matter who your parents are, in this industry, it's either harmony or none of us play.

You attempt to push only one, either Song Xi or Yang Jinlu, into the top three.

They accepted.

But why push two into the top three, trying to have it all for yourself?

No matter who your parents are.

Presenting a black PR package was the plan.

So Jiuya's executives joined with other agencies, making a move against Song Xi and Yang Jinlu together.

If they could knock one of them out and let their Yanli enter the top three, it would be a win-win.

If they knocked down both of their rankings, it would be an unexpected delight.

It would also teach this overly confident second-generation rich a lesson.

Cutting off one's livelihood is akin to killing one's parents; defying unspoken rules means nobody can protect you.

But what caught Jiuya's public relations off guard was that these companies holding numerous marketing accounts were now too afraid to act simply because of an artifact donation news?

"You guys should watch the news more. Not only did Lin'an's museum issue a notice, but the police department also announced it was cracking down on marketing accounts and black PR."

The marketing studio's boss said, "Several of my accounts, each with hundreds of thousands of followers, have already been banned."

Hearing the marketing studio's boss say this, Jiuya's public relations quickly began checking the news.

First came the announcement and video release from Lin'an's provincial museum.

The video from the provincial museum began by thoroughly showcasing a rather peculiar statue, introducing it as a stone sculpture from the Eastern Zhou Royal Tomb.

According to speculation, this statue should have been stolen by Americans during the Republic period and taken back to the United States. Due to historical reasons, after changing hands several times, it was sold as an Indian civilization statue.

And the reason this statue could return to the country was related to two ladies.

They were Ms. Song Xi and Ms. Yang Jinlu.

After these two ladies successfully signed with Shabby Studio, their boss, who had a particular fondness for artifacts,

To welcome them, arranged for them to select an artifact from a foreign auction site as a gift.

Yang Jinlu chose this item labeled as an Indian civilization stone sculpture.

Because the statue was expensive, they both opted for this sculpture.

Thus, Chen Yiyang purchased the statue and brought it back to the country.
