A large and prosperous family business [Catching bugs]

After seeing Zheng Ruoqian and Ou Liyao off, Xu Changjia had only one thing left to do—the vast family business left to her by her parents.

As for my mother, things were alright. After she passed away, Junzhou TV station sent people over immediately. They offered incense to both her parents and handed her a bank card.

There wasn't much money on the card, but as a director of a TV station, my mother could earn 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a month. Now that she has passed away unexpectedly, she can still receive a subsidy of more than 10,000 yuan a month. Although it's not much, it's more than enough to cover her monthly living expenses.

According to the TV station, this is essentially a disguised way of giving her her mother's retirement pension and other subsidies.

Her father's company was quite complicated, but fortunately, the lawyer from the legal department had left her his phone number when he came before, saying that she could come to him whenever she wanted to handle Chairman Xu's funeral arrangements.

The lawyer's surname is Qin, and his name is Qin Hongjin. Zhang Yuning specifically inquired about him for her. He is a good person with a good reputation in the industry and can be trusted.

He brought Xu Changjia two pieces of good news.

Firstly, her father's company doesn't require her to manage it; a professional manager has already been hired to handle all the company's affairs, big and small. All she has to do is wait to collect her annual bonus at the end of each year.

Secondly, her father had invested in stocks before his death. He originally sold all the stocks to get cash in order to solve a loss-making project of the company. Now that the person in charge of that project has made up for it and no longer needs the money, she has gained another asset.

She flipped through the various assets under her father's name, listening to the lawyer report these miscellaneous details to her, and asked, "How much money is this?"

"Not much, only thirty million."

She was completely stunned. She rearranged these words and put them into her mind. What did it mean to say "not much, only thirty million"?

"Attorney Qin, are you saying that besides leaving me the entire Tianhe Group, my father also left me 30 million in cash?"

Attorney Qin responded with his professional smile, "Yes, Ms. Xu, to be precise, it's the Changjia Foundation, worth a total of 100 million yuan, two villas, six plots of land, three office buildings, 35 million yuan in working capital, and some gold and silver jewelry left by your mother."

She knew her parents were rich, but she didn't know they were this rich.

"What is the company's market value?"

"A market assessment was conducted a year ago, and the value was estimated at 30 billion."

"Ms. Xu, if there are no problems, you can sign the contract now. I will complete the change procedures within three days and send the documents back to you."

Her hand trembled slightly as she signed, and she dropped the pen twice. She still hadn't accepted the fact that she had become a small-time rich woman overnight.

With so much money, what should she do with it?

Countless thoughts raced through my mind. Seeing the person in front of me getting up to leave, I also got up out of politeness to see him off.

Attorney Qin took a few steps, then turned back. "Ms. Xu, what I said earlier was for my job. What I'm saying now comes from my heart, after knowing your father for over ten years."

"Your father really loves you."

His company actually faced a huge crisis four years ago, and if it hadn't been handled properly, it could have gone bankrupt. But he kept it a secret from you.

You may not know this, but he had already made a will and a divorce agreement. If he couldn't leave, he would leave you with your mother. He believed that your mother would take good care of you.

The foundation named after you started when you were born. He said he would give you this gift when you graduate. It's okay if you don't want to go out to work; he has the ability to support you.

I hope that Miss Xu will not let down the spirits of your father and mother in heaven, and that she will live a good life.

If possible, go visit the company when you have time. Even if you don't personally oversee the management, you can at least learn something about the company.

Attorney Qin handed her two business cards, and before she could react, he had already walked quite a distance away.

She glanced at the names on the two business cards: one read "Chairman of Tianhe Group - Yao Qingshan," and the other "Agent of Nantian Entertainment - Yu Nanxing."

She held the postcard to her chest, and two lines of tears unconsciously slid down her cheeks. It turned out that her father had always known what she wanted to do.

As Attorney Qin had said, she did indeed arrange to meet the two people listed on her business card before going to school on the south bank.

The former arranged to learn more about Tianhe Group, since it was her father's business.

The latter involves consulting about matters related to the entertainment industry. These are connections her father left her, and she never knows when they might come in handy.

As soon as the autumn wind blew, she was swept back to South Shore University.

Having moved from the undergraduate teaching building to the graduate school, it's another new starting point from scratch.

There are relatively fewer constraints for graduate students than before, but you need to have extremely strong self-learning abilities.

Fortunately, she had plenty of time, which she used to study slowly, and she developed a good habit of reading relevant literature for at least half an hour every day.

This alone turned her tens of thousands of words of reading notes into her journal article, which Professor Xu praised for writing quickly when she submitted it.

A month later, Zheng Ruoqian sent her tickets to the Christmas performance, seats in the third row of the inner field.

She calculated the time; the graduate coursework wasn't too demanding, and it would be almost over by Christmas, allowing her to stay in H country a few more days.

But does Zheng Ruoqian have that much time to spend with her?

Their relationship has not been made public. What will the company think of him? And how will his fans view him?

She shook her head and thought, "Forget it, I'd better think about who's free to go to the show with me first."

Ou Liyao just took on a gig a couple of days ago, and I don't know if she'll have time to go with her. Besides, she's the only friend who knows they're together so far.

She felt that dating was no different from not dating at all; she received more gifts, he remembered all kinds of holidays, and he gave her a full sense of ritual and security.

She also had more contact with Zheng Ruoqian, and she could now hear the things that they used to only say when they met every day.

Occasionally, I would hear him complain of being tired, but he said that with people supporting him, he could keep going.

He took out his phone, intending to call Ou Liyao to ask about her Christmas plans, when he saw the message he had sent half an hour earlier.

The performance tickets should have arrived. I also bought two books that I saw in a local bookstore, thinking you would like them, and sent them to you as well.

A warmth filled her heart. A book of essays, a book on ethnology related to her major—this was what it felt like to be favored.

Received it, I like it very much, thank you~

After replying, she felt it wasn't enough, so she decided to bring him a present for Christmas.

Ou Liyao's call was also connected at this time.

She noticed that the tone of voice on the other end sounded different, which made her feel a little strange.

Normally, when I answer the phone, his voice is full of energy, but today it sounds like he's been wilted by frost.

She mentioned it tactfully, but didn't want to say more. Considering her friend's strange behavior before the start of the semester, often being absent-minded and distracted, she couldn't ignore it any longer.

First, he secretly contacted Ou Liyao's agent and assistant to ask about her work arrangements and schedule from the summer vacation to the present.

Then I spent a little money to check insider information about the entertainment industry to see if there was anything about her.

I must say, spending money and not spending money really make a difference.

A blogger who broke the news told her that a while ago, a female artist who had just debuted acted like a diva and had an improper work attitude, which angered the investors and drove them away, but the company did not blacklist her because of its reputation.

She looked closely at the initials of the name: Oly, which happened to be her friend's name.

Based on what my good friend's agent and assistant said, it all makes sense.

At the time, she had invited her friends back for the funeral because her parents had passed away.

However, because she was still busy with her schedule and couldn't come back immediately, after discussing with the director team, her scenes were shortened and filmed in two days.

There weren't many scenes featuring her to begin with, so giving her more screen time is a common practice for film crews.

Who knew that the investors found out and wouldn't let it go, ultimately withdrawing their investment and making it impossible for the whole project to move forward.

Xu Changjia tapped his right hand repeatedly on the desk, pondering whether Tianhe Group could have any businesses related to the entertainment industry.

With that in mind, he also contacted Yao Qingshan, the person in charge of the group.

Mr. Yao did not completely reject her idea, but gave her some small suggestions.

Currently, the group's focus is on two areas: the technology and internet sector and the construction industry, which it has not yet ventured into.

Entering the entertainment industry is indeed not suitable, as such a leap will bring many disadvantages to the group. However, it is advisable to select a few good movies and TV shows, or even suitable variety shows, and ask him to evaluate whether they are worth investing in.

If one or two investments succeed in the future and the group sees that they are profitable, it is worth considering setting up a separate studio or company to handle this aspect.

President Yao analyzed all the pros and cons and explained them to her in detail, and she immediately understood the advantages and disadvantages.

I got the information about Ou Liyao's announcement from the blogger who broke the news, and then contacted another resource that her father had left her.

"Sister Mei, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

They must have been busy on the other end, because they called her back two hours later.

She told Sister Mei the whole story about Ou Liyao and asked for her opinion.

Anita Mui and her father were college classmates. After graduation, she changed jobs several times before finally entering the entertainment industry and becoming a manager.

Upon hearing this, he only said four words, incisively pointing out the problem: "Just invest money."
