Bai Yan is bound to a system and must unceasingly tread the path of courting death by opposing the protagonists, becoming a stepping stone in their lives, destined for a tragic end in every life.
Bai Yan's comment quickly garnered countless replies from netizens.
【Losing everything? Are you kidding me? After buying shares in Anping Film & Television, I've already made enough to buy a house!】 The fan who said this even posted a picture of their stock earnings.
When Mu Yuanchen got into trouble, Xingyu's stock price plummeted. But with Bai Ruohan and Song Rizhao's entry into the market, Ping An Film & Television's stock price has now been driven up four or five times its previous level.
If you bought stocks when they were low, you could have earned enough to buy an apartment in the city center by now.
[Some people are just envious and jealous! After all, Anping Film and Television has nothing to do with her. Just from the name, you can tell that this company was founded by Bai Ruohan for his 'dearest sister'!]
Ji An'an, Anping Film and Television, no matter what, Lin Mingjing and his son truly cherished Ji An'an.
[Come on, Sour Chicken, check out Anping Film and Television's upcoming filming schedule: In August, there's "The Monster," a film starring Shen Bingqing and an internationally renowned director aiming for an Oscar, and "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio," a traditional fantasy film starring Liu Rou. Both of these big-budget projects, each worth over 100 million yuan, are set for global release!]
Following this, in an attempt to refute Bai Yan's claims, someone else posted photos of various best-selling domestic and international IPs that Anping Film & Television had already acquired, along with their subsequent filming plans.
[Please, can you stop these illiterate entertainment industry figures from messing with us stock market investors? Are you kidding me? A top-tier entertainment company with so many resources and rising stars, you think it's going to lose everything?]
[Bai Yan, do you understand big data? Do you know how to analyze stocks? Do you understand economic trends?]
The person who left this comment seems to be quite knowledgeable about the stock market, citing examples from various aspects to strongly argue that Anping Film & Television's stock price will not only not fall, but will actually rise steadily...
Just as that person said, Anping's shares rose another point in the following hour. With this kind of price movement, even if the stock price drops at the opening tomorrow, how low can it go?
Bai—no, Lin Ruohan, who was about to change her name, smiled sarcastically, “Now all she can do is spout nonsense online.”
Song Rizhao sat down on a chair to the side, his pen stopped spinning, and he looked up at Lin Ruohan: "I've helped you stabilize Anping's shares. When are you going to give me back what you promised me?"
"What's the rush?" Lin Ruohan sneered, "Now that Mu Yuanchen is in jail, are you worried that you won't get your share?"
Song Rizhao smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Bai Ruohan seemed to remember something, stood up and straightened his suit, "The castle I bought for An'an a few days ago is officially moving in today. Would you like to go and congratulate An'an?"
Upon hearing Ji An'an's name, a gentle smile flashed across Song Rizhao's face: "Of course I'll go."
As Anping steadily rose in wealth, Lin Ruohan's net worth also increased. Now, his personal wealth ranks among the top in Beijing for entrepreneurs under the age of thirty.
Lin Ruohan is now successful in his career, so he naturally takes his name change very seriously. Taking advantage of his family's housewarming today, he invited many media outlets to announce that he has returned to his ancestral lineage and changed his surname to Lin.
Lin Mingjing was naturally very happy, as his son was going to take his surname.
Generally, it's considered a woman's good intention to have her husband's family revert to their paternal surname after three generations of marriage. However, Lin Ruohan has built a business on her own, and now that she wants to change back to her father's surname, it would bring honor to Lin Mingjing.
...
One is a rising star entrepreneur in Beijing, the other is a rising star in the entertainment industry whom he is promoting, plus Song Rizhao, a legend in the stock market. Tonight, the Lin family's housewarming banquet is exceptionally lively.
Luxury cars parked in front of the castle blocked the red carpet road completely.
Inside the castle's second floor, Ji An'an, dressed in a beautiful princess dress with tiny diamonds adorning her curly hair, gently raised her chin as Lin Ruohan led her down the steps.
Lin Mingjing, dressed in a white suit, looked like a patriarch as he stood on the stage, holding a microphone, to thank the guests who had come to the housewarming banquet.
Lin Ruohan's net worth has increased dramatically, and she is riding high on her success. The banquet is filled with flattery.
Some people did mention Bai Yan, whose online criticism of Lin Ruohan and Anping Film and Television has caused quite a stir. Most of the people present today are celebrities and executives from Xingyu Entertainment, so they all treat Bai Yan's remarks as a joke.
Lin Mingjing could only shake his head at this: "This child was spoiled by her maternal grandfather when she was young, and she thinks she's the only one who matters. It's also my fault; I didn't raise her well."
"How could it be your fault? Look how well you've educated General Manager Lin!"
Lin Mingjing was receiving compliments from the people at the banquet when Lin Ruohan's phone rang.
Lin Ruohan strode to the balcony, away from people, before clicking to answer the call.
"Young Master, this is Butler Chen." The voice on the other end rang out, and Lin Ruohan frowned slightly. "Uncle Chen, aren't you in a nursing home abroad with Grandpa?"
"The old man saw online that you changed your surname back, and he's already at the old house. He wants you to come and see him."
Uncle Chen advised, "Young Master, whatever you think, the old man is already in his seventies or eighties. You have to come and explain things to him."
Lin Ruohan simply said, "Uncle Chen, please apologize to my grandfather for me. I have things to attend to here and really can't leave. Once I'm done, I'll go to the Bai family to apologize to my grandfather."
Although it was called an apology, the fact that they went to the Bai family's house clearly meant that they were severing ties with the Bai family.
Lin Mingjing had been waiting by the side. Only after his son hung up the phone did he ask, "Was that Grandpa?"
Lin Ruohan nodded: "The old man has returned from abroad and asked me to go back to the Bai family."
"I refused."
Lin Mingjing gasped, "You're so direct, what if the old man gets angry..."
"What are you worried about?" Lin Ruohan didn't care at all. He put his arm around Lin Mingjing's shoulder and walked towards the center of the banquet. "Dad, the glory of the Bai family is a thing of the past. Grandpa is now a toothless tiger, while I am a prominent figure in Beijing. Neither you nor I need to rely on him."
A cold glint flashed in Bai Ruohan's eyes: "Perhaps after a while, Grandpa will come begging to us again."
"Dad, by then you will be able to repay all the humiliation the Bai family inflicted on you back then."
Lin Mingjing's lifelong regret stemmed from marrying into a family for the sake of his future.
But now his son has found them all. He smiled and patted Lin Ruohan's shoulder, unable to contain the excitement in his eyes: "Good son, Dad didn't make a mistake in giving birth to you!"
...
On the other side, at the Bai family's old house.
Old Master Bai sat in his chair. The butler, who had just hung up the phone, glanced at him and whispered, "I just called the eldest young master, and he said he's busy and can't come today."
Old Master Bai closed his eyes and sighed softly, "Once they've grown strong and can stand on their own two feet, they'll look down on this useless old man like me."
