Note that this book is a slow-burn novel, and it will become increasingly exciting as the story progresses.
It starts from 2002, beginning at the Beijing Film Academy, and starting with the H...
"Is there anywhere to go later?"
Shen Fang glanced at Young Master Wang: "What?"
Young Master Wang smiled and said, "Let me introduce you to someone."
Shen Fang shook his head: "There's no need for that. Your circle and I are not compatible. You can't afford to play the games I play. There's nothing to talk about between us. If you bring your dad and the others over, I might go and have a chat."
Young Master Wang rolled his eyes at the sound.
"Whom do you look down on?"
Shen Fang chuckled: "It's not that I look down on you, but what I'm doing now is not on the same level as what you're doing. I have many people behind me who are counting on me to turn things around. You can indulge in a life of luxury and debauchery as you please, but I have lofty goals and ideals."
"You think you're so high and mighty, huh?" Young Master Wang gave Shen Fang the middle finger.
"By the way, could you do me a favor?"
"explain."
"Isn't my girlfriend from your circle? Could you arrange for her to get into Longteng?"
"Why can't you arrange it? Not just anyone can get into our company."
"Please help me, I'm begging you."
Shen Fang looked at the shameless Second Young Master Wang and helplessly pulled out his phone: "What's your name?"
"Li Yu".
Shen Fang dialed Chang Jihong's number.
"President Shen." Chang Jihong's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Sister Hong, could you sign an artist for me? Her name is Li Yu." Shen Fang looked at Wang Ershao: "What works has your girlfriend acted in?"
"Deep Love in the Rain, The Last Imperial Concubine, A Tale of Two Worlds, Years of Love and Loyalty, Like Young Students in Their Prime." Wang Yu recited these lines as if they were treasures.
"Sister Hong, did you hear that?"
"I heard that, Mr. Shen. What are your plans?"
"You can arrange it as you see fit. Forget about the lead actress, but try to arrange the second lead actress. Give her more important roles that can showcase her acting skills, and give her more consideration."
"Yes, Mr. Shen."
The call ended.
Young Master Wang cupped his hands in thanks: "President Shen, thank you very much."
"Oh, Second Young Master, you're too kind. I'm worried you'll be unhappy if I don't arrange a leading role for your girlfriend."
Young Master Wang chuckled and said, "I'm not stupid. Since you're funding the production, the female lead will definitely promote someone from your company. Besides, if you directly put Xiaoyu in the lead role, she'll become suspicious. This arrangement couldn't be better."
"Okay, is there anything else? If not, I'm heading back. I'm exhausted after a long day of traveling."
"I'll take you, Mr. Shen."
After sending Shen Fang to Longteng Company, Wang Ershao couldn't wait to go home to find his girlfriend.
When Xu Xin arrived at the general manager's office, she found that Xu Xin and Pansy Ho were having dinner.
"Oh, why are you only eating this?" Shen Fang looked at the two women and said that he had only prepared two dishes and a soup, all of which were vegetarian.
Pansy Ho put down her soup spoon: "As I get older, I need to take good care of my health. I can't eat too much at night because it's easy to gain weight."
"Goodness, you can't just eat vegetarian food. With such a heavy workload every day, your bodies can't handle it."
Xu Xin rolled her eyes: "You know, right? He doesn't care about anything and just washes his hands of the business."
Shen Fang chuckled and said, "Isn't this giving you room to maneuver?"
Pansy Ho looked at Shen Fang: "How did the talks go?"
Shen Fang sat down in front of Pansy Ho: "It's all settled. She'll invest 80 million and enjoy the right to dividends. He'll be here to protect you and take care of all the miscellaneous matters."
Xu Xin nodded: "That's not too much. With the Wang family's influence, it will be very convenient for us here, and many things will be much easier to handle."
"Use him as much as you want. His girlfriend is about to sign with our Longteng. Let him handle all the dirty and messy things. In Shanghai, there's hardly anything the Wang family can't do."
Pansy Ho and Xu Xin looked completely bewildered: "What's going on?"
Shen Fang vividly recounted his encounter with Young Master Wang to the two women.
"I never imagined that Young Master Wang was such a romantic. He doesn't seem like it at all," Xu Xin said, somewhat incredulously.
Shen Fang lit a cigarette: "Rich kids are all romantics, while poor people are all thinking about how to live a good life. Love only exists in rich kids who have no worries about food and clothing."
"Alright, by the way, where are Lao Huang and Lao Chen?"
"What do you think? Those two projects you guys were working on, Tianxia Youxia and Chengshi Convenience, they just dumped all the work here on the two of us. We've been working overtime until 10 pm every day lately. Are you trying to kill me with exhaustion? I've even got dark circles under my eyes!" Xu Xin protested. She was originally a financial project manager, but now Shen Fang has handed over so many projects to her, making her work like a bull. If it weren't for the high pay, Xu Xin would have already started cursing.
"Calm down, calm down. I'll take the two of them to an aromatherapy spa and get a massage tonight."
Shen Fang looked at the two women with a fawning expression. He really couldn't afford to offend either of them; they were both making money for him. He couldn't afford to offend them.
After dinner, Shen Fang helped the two women settle their affairs and then took them to a relatively high-end private spa.
I selected a few projects. Chen Fang has been traveling a lot lately and is a bit tired, so I got an essential oil back massage.
The female masseuse was quite professional, and her massage technique was good; it was very comfortable.
Xu Xin, with a face mask on and juice in hand, enjoyed the massage service and let out a comfortable moan: "Ah, so good."
Pansy Ho, standing to the side, was speechless: "We're still outside, Xiao Xin, be careful."
Xu Xin stretched and yawned: "Oh, my back is killing me. I feel like I'm losing ten years of my life working for you, Mr. Shen."
"No, Sister Xin."
"By the way, how's the JD.com project going?"
"I'm not too sure, but the money has already been taken. This is a long-term battle, not something that can be won overnight. It will be difficult for JD.com to beat Taobao in the short term."
“Masayoshi Son is behind Taobao, and SoftBank is extremely powerful. The amount of money you need to fight against him is enormous. It’s not wise to fight such a big battle just to save face.”
"Sister Xin, the domestic environment does not allow for the emergence of monopolistic industrial chains. Once e-commerce is established, it's almost like a money-printing machine. If you don't enter the market now, you'll need to burn even more money when you do."
"I know, I just feel like you have too many options. While it's true that everyone needs to have a backup plan, don't you have too many? Let me count them for you."
"The snack industry, the beverage industry, the media industry, the finance industry, the internet industry, the e-commerce industry, the hotel industry, the real estate industry, the tourism industry, online literature, the animation industry, the film and television production industry, and the catering industry you've recently been considering getting into. What are you trying to do???"
Shen Fang shrugged: "If I have a good idea, I'll just do it. And I've always done a pretty good job, haven't I?"
Xu Xin was speechless: "Everyone else has a main focus and secondary roles, but what about you? You want to make everything bigger and stronger. Luckily, you haven't made any major mistakes, otherwise, I'm afraid there would be a chain reaction if something went wrong."
Shen Fang flashed a bright white smile: "My luck is in my hands!!!"
