President Qin Told Me to Take My Meds but I Refused [Entertainment Industry]

Xiang Tanwei is a popular idol singer under Qin Han Media, known for his gentle and elegant public persona and his soulful voice. Despite his success and nearly ten million fans, he struggles with the obsessive nature of his fanbase, who frequently post inappropriate comments online. Xiang Tanwei dreams of expanding his career into acting and variety shows, but his manager, Wu Ziqi, and the company directors, the Wang siblings, have thus far kept his schedule relatively light to maintain his image. The company is in a state of transition under its new, low-key chairman, Qin Mingli, who has recently taken over from the previous leadership. Mi Xinghe, the company's top star, is planning to leave for a rival agency, creating a vacuum that the company intends to fill by promoting a new top artist.

Xiang Tanwei accidentally overhears rumors about Mi Xinghe's departure and the new chairman's interest in the situation. His day takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Qin Mingli in the company tea room. Qin Mingli, who is known for his reclusive nature and dislike of close contact with people, is intrigued by Xiang Tanwei's unique personality. Unbeknownst to Xiang Tanwei, Qin Mingli possesses the ability to read minds, a secret he has kept hidden since childhood due to the overwhelming noise it caused him. He finds Xiang Tanwei's inner monologue, which is filled with humorous and elaborate fantasies, to be a refreshing and amusing contrast to the calculated attitudes of others in the entertainment industry.

Following this encounter, Qin Mingli invites Xiang Tanwei to a one-on-one dinner to discuss his potential as a top star candidate. During the meal, Qin Mingli reveals that he has recommended Xiang Tanwei for a new reality show called "Superman Concentration Camp," produced in collaboration with Sunlight TV. The show features a diverse cast, including a world taekwondo champion, a mental arithmetic expert, and veteran actors, challenging Xiang Tanwei to step out of his comfort zone. Wu Ziqi, recognizing the opportunity, decides to drop Xiang Tanwei's carefully curated idol image, encouraging him to be his authentic, eccentric self on the show to attract a broader audience.

As Xiang Tanwei prepares for the variety show, his interactions with Qin Mingli continue. They share a casual buffet meal at the company, during which Qin Mingli displays a rare warmth and friendliness. This behavior is noted by Secretary Xiao Zhao, who observes that the chairman rarely smiles or engages so personally with anyone. The growing connection between the two is further solidified when Qin Mingli registers a personal Weibo account under the name "Director Qin" and follows Xiang Tanwei, sparking curiosity among fans and entertainment reporters. Xiang Tanwei, unaware of the chairman's mind-reading ability, interprets Qin Mingli's interest as a sign of genuine appreciation for his talent and personality.

The narrative shifts to the filming of the variety show, where Xiang Tanwei meets the other participants. He is introduced to Ge Lixuan, an energetic actor who becomes a chatterbox companion, and Ying Qiuxiu, a formidable taekwondo champion whose strength contrasts with her quiet demeanor. The show's producer, PD Song, sets a rigorous schedule, pushing the cast to adapt quickly. Xiang Tanwei, initially nervous about abandoning his idol persona, finds himself gradually embracing the freedom Wu Ziqi has encouraged. His natural humor and unfiltered reactions begin to resonate with the audience, setting the stage for a potential rise to stardom.

Throughout these events, Qin Mingli continues to observe Xiang Tanwei from a distance, using his mind-reading ability to understand the singer's true thoughts and feelings. He is fascinated by the contrast between Xiang Tanwei's public image and his private whimsy. The chairman's interest in Xiang Tanwei extends beyond professional mentorship, hinting at a deeper personal connection. As the variety show progresses, the dynamics between the cast members evolve, and Xiang Tanwei's career begins to take a new direction, all under the watchful and increasingly attentive eye of Chairman Qin Mingli.
