Zhou Shuo has lived his life fatherless and motherless. Upon reaching adulthood, he was suddenly told that he was the true heiress of the Zhou family.
Back home, Zhou Shuo had expected to rec...
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou De and Zhou Cong nodded in unison.
Zhou Le then said, "Dad, brother, I don't know much about business, but lately, due to work requirements, I've been attending many dinner parties. I've seen successful bosses repeatedly emphasize one thing: 'You can't put all your eggs in one basket.' I didn't take it to heart before, but today, when I heard you talk about our Zhou family's business, I was wondering, why does our Zhou family have to be in industries like construction and engineering? No matter how good we are, we can't surpass those big families, right?"
"This industry has been monopolized by them. We can only rely on them. If they sneeze, we will catch a bad cold. If they are unhappy, we will be trembling with fear. My brother and I are grown up. Normally, Dad will start to enjoy life with Mom, but now he is still forced to work. It makes my brother and I feel really bad."
She glanced at Zhou Cong, who nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou De were so overwhelmed by this sweet treat that their hearts were melted.
Zhou De sighed and said, "Good boy, you and your brother are so sensible. Even if I have to work harder, it's worth it!"
Zhou Le smiled. "Dad, what I mean is, we shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket. We should follow the trend and develop some new projects to gain greater benefits. What do you think, brother?"
Zhou Cong's eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh, "Great! My sister said it brilliantly!"
Then he gave a thumbs-up to Zhou De and his wife, "Look at their knowledge and vision, wow!"
Zhou Le reached out and patted him, saying coquettishly, "Don't make trouble, I'm talking about serious things!"
"Dad, look at us filming, it's hard work and we make little money, but those investors are making a lot of money. Those film companies have low costs and huge profits. For a small actor like me, our agent discussed signing a contract with me this morning. Once the contract is signed, I will become a money-making machine for the company. Although actors make more money when they become famous, no matter how much they make, it's still not as much as those big bosses behind the scenes! Nowadays, there are many movies that are not box office hits, but they are very popular with investors-"
Zhou Le was interrupted by Zhou Cong. "Hey, speaking of this, I know, Dad, the entertainment industry is really booming right now. As for what Zhou Le said, let me tell you, it's very common. Why? Because investors don't care whether the movie or TV series sells well. They just want to launder their money. So, this money is made quickly and easily!"
Zhou Le said angrily, "Brother! Don't always think about making quick money. Dad is a well-behaved businessman. It's not easy for our Zhou family to develop to where we are today! What I mean is, we can do something like this! I'm already in this circle, and I've made a name for myself. We can set up a film and television company, and then I can sign directly with our company. First, the benefits will stay within the family, and second, I won't have to go out and be exploited by other agencies. What do you think?"
Before Zhou De could say anything, Zhou Cong had already clapped his hands in approval, "Great! This is a great idea! If my sister wins another Best Actress award, our company will gain both fame and fortune!"
Zhou De glared at his son without saying anything, obviously deep in thought.
Zhou Le pushed Zhou Cong and said, "Brother, stop messing around. This is just a suggestion. Dad has to make the final decision. Stop having fun here!"
Zhou De glared at his son again, "You're so clumsy and not calm at all. You're even worse than your sister!"
Zhou Le smiled with his lips pursed.
Shen Yu said: "husband, although I don't understand business, I heard that what Zhou Le said makes sense. Don't you often say that Zhou Cong is not suitable for the construction and engineering industry? But this entertainment industry should be suitable for Zhou Cong. Young people are always able to accept new things. They have a tacit understanding with their brothers and sisters, and they will definitely be able to do well!"
Zhou De slowly drank the wine in his glass, glanced at his children, and slowly said, "Doing business is not like playing house. You have to take steady steps one by one. Zhou Cong has always been impetuous and needs to temper his temper. How about this, I'll give you a week. Write up a report on what Zhou Le just said, as well as your ideas and plans, and submit it to me. I'll find a professional to do an assessment and see what the results are before making a decision!"
Zhou Cong agreed immediately, "Okay! Don't worry, Dad! When I get into this business, you'll know how capable your son is!"
Zhou De had high hopes for his son. Even though he couldn't stand his clumsy behavior, he would not blame him.
He remembered something again and said to Shen Yu: "Isn't your family related to the Shen family? Why don't you go back to your mother's house and ask if there is any way to get in touch with the old lady of the Shen family, or the lady in charge. It is very important for us to be able to interact with such a family!"
"Regarding the Mu family, no matter what Zhou Shuo does, you and Madam Mu must maintain good interaction. Even if you do it for outsiders to see, it is very necessary. In today's society, without a strong background, you can't even take a single step forward!"
Shen Yu hesitated, "We are some relatives, but we haven't been together for many years. People like the Shen family wouldn't even raise their eyelids when they see us. It's always embarrassing for us to come up to them so abruptly."
Zhou De's face darkened. "Just find the right opportunity! These wealthy families often hold gatherings under various pretexts to gather information. For example, the Shen family's old lady's birthday celebration a while ago was private, but many people got wind of it. These are all opportunities. You don't need to worry about external matters, but these are matters that require your wife's diplomacy. You must pay more attention and take the initiative!"
Shen Yu was surprised to be criticized by her husband in front of her children for no reason.
Zhou Le said hurriedly: "I will pay more attention to these things in the future. Our circle still has some intersections with those wealthy young men and women. I will ask my mother to go with me when the time comes, so you can rest assured."
Zhou De's expression finally relaxed.
Shen Yu reached out and added a bowl of soup to her daughter.
Zhou Le responded with a mother's obedient smile.
Zhouke Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd. was established quickly with the full support of Mu En.
Lin Xu personally helped Zhou Cong build the company's framework, and worked together with Zhou Cong, just like a pair of good buddies. The popular Zhou Le was also signed under his own company. After a lot of hype, she, who only had a supporting role in one work, has become a first-line actress with a great reputation.
Zhou Le and Mu En's tryst is more secretive and more exciting.
Zhou Le became more and more certain that sooner or later he would replace Chen Su and become Mu En's fiancée.
That woman had no talent or looks, and her family background was just better than hers. Yet, she easily took the position that belonged to her, and she was unwilling to accept it no matter what.
As long as she had the chance to meet Chen Su, she decided that she must teach Chen Su a lesson.
