Chapter 168 The Joy of Making Money

Gong Chen looked at Qian Muchue blinking her big eyes and acting cute to him, and his hands felt itchy again. But forget it, seeing her exquisite hairstyle, Gong Chen resisted the urge to reach out and rub her hair.

The matter between Gong Wenjie and Zhao Wan was just a small episode for Qian Muchue and the others, and they turned around and put it behind them.

During the last few working days of the year, Qian Muchue was still very busy. Yunshang, Oriental Verve and Xinrui Entertainment were all settling year-end dividends, which was a sweet and busy time for Qian Muchue.

Although Qian Muchue has invested in many companies, except for the dividend distribution from Yunshang last year, which brought in 4.9 million yuan, she has not received any dividends since then. Most of the money was later invested in Xinrui Entertainment.

Yunchang did make a lot of money last year, but Zhao Xi and Qian Muchue both decided to invest in Oriental Verve. Xinrui Entertainment was just established last year and has been spending money all the time, so it has relatively little income and no dividends.

So, Qian Muchue has worked hard for so long, and the main income she has received in the past two years has been film remuneration and announcement fees. At the end of this year, except for Chuxin, the other three companies are settling dividends, and Qian Muchue is busy and happy all day long.

The share ratio of the Oriental Verve brand is still the same as Yunshang, with Zhao Xi holding 51% and Qian Muchue holding 49%, because Zhao Xi invested slightly more money than Qian Muchue.

Considering that Qian Muchue's designs and connections played a great role in the development of Oriental Verve, in addition to the dividends she was entitled to, Zhao Xi paid Qian Muchue an additional salary according to the treatment of chief designer.

This part of the fee is not low. I have to say that Zhao Xi is very generous in this regard. She clearly knows Qian Muchue's current identity and how important it is to the Oriental Verve brand, so when distributing benefits, she is willing to give more benefits to Qian Muchue.

Therefore, Zhao Xi gave Qian Muchue 10 million for the design fee alone, which included the cost of Qian Muchue endorsing Oriental Verve in disguise. This was because Oriental Verve was in its initial stage and did not have much capital. After all, the price was given because Qian Muchue's endorsement fee for Xie's Jewelry alone was worth 10 million.

Oriental Verve's annual dividend is actually not much. After all, the brand was established less than a year ago, and all the initial investment was capital. It was only after the Oriental Verve show that it started to make money, and more funds had to be reserved for opening new stores.

So, just like Yunchang’s first dividend last year, Qian Muchue received 4.9 million in Oriental Verve’s first dividend, and Zhao Xi received 5.1 million. Yunchang’s revenue this year increased a lot compared to last year, and Qian Muchue received 24.5 million in dividends at the end of the year.

On the Xinrui Entertainment side, Qian Muchue received more than 7 million. This was mainly because with the two first-line stars Qian Muchue and Wen Jia, plus the slightly popular Chen Tian, Xi Fei decided to spend a huge amount of money to buy a new office building, so the year-end dividends were not that much. After the new year, the staff of Xinrui Entertainment could move into high-end office buildings.

As for Chuxin, this year's financial statements will definitely be negative. The good news is that in the past two months, Chuxin's finances have been able to break even. According to this situation, turning losses into profits next year will not be a problem. Therefore, Qian Muchue was also smiling when giving out year-end bonuses to Chuxin's employees at the end of the year.

Gong Chen obviously noticed that Qian Muchue was in a very good mood these days. One day, he saw Qian Muchue lying on the sofa, fiddling with her phone with a sweet smile on her face. Gong Chen couldn't help but step forward and take a look at the phone interface.

Um, the screen on the phone was the background of a bank APP, which displayed the bank card balance. Qian Muchue's slender fingers were pointing at the balance and counting the digits. Gong Chen felt helpless when he saw her money-loving look.

"Do you like money so much?" Gong Chen asked jokingly as he sat next to Qian Muchue.

"I like it." Qian Muchue answered with full energy, without taking her eyes off the phone screen.

"What do you want to do with so much money?" Gong Chen was amused by her and continued to ask.

"Well, buy a house." Qian Muchue thought for a moment and answered. She actually had no place to spend the money. After thinking about it, she had always thought about buying a house when she first arrived in City A, but later she invested the money in other things, so now she can consider it.

Hearing this, Gong Chen was a little stunned. As the head of the Gong Group, which started out in real estate, he couldn't understand why his wife was obsessed with buying houses. Gong Chen pondered for a moment and picked up his phone to fiddle with it.

Qian Muchue, who was looking at her bank card balance with a silly smile, suddenly saw a deposit information pop up on the top of the phone screen. She was stunned for a moment, then clicked on it, only to see that the message reminded her that a certain bank card had been deposited with a one followed by many zeros.

Qian Muchue's first reaction was to wonder if the text message was a scam. Her second reaction was to look up at Gong Chen, only to see him looking at her with satisfaction.

"Is the happiness doubled?" Gong Chen asked with a smile. He had previously invested privately in Chuxin, so he had Qian Muchue's bank card number. He just transferred nine digits to that card.

Seeing this, Qian Muchue felt like crying. The dividends she had worked hard for a year were taken away by Gong Chen with just a casual stroke, and they were more than her entire savings. Is this the level of the world? She was not happy at all, and the joy of making money was gone.

Seeing her puzzled expression, Gong Chen thought she was just too happy.

"Be good, all our family has is money. Don't get excited, just get used to it." Gong Chen rubbed Qian Muchue's head and said lovingly.

Uh, Qian Muchue looked at the man in front of her and was speechless.

Like in previous years, a few days before New Year's Eve, Qian Muchue and Gong Chen put down their work and enjoyed the Spring Festival holiday.

Qian Xiaoya is almost three years old. Gong Chen has been decorating the children's room with the little girl enthusiastically these days. One day, a kind father told his young daughter that she wanted to live in the children's room.

"Why should I live in the children's room?" Qian Xiaoya asked her father with eyes wide open and a puzzled look on her face.

"Children can only have their own rooms when they grow up. Has Yaya grown up?" Gong Chen asked seriously.

"I'm grown up." Qian Xiaoya said loudly. The little girl has always been very positive about growing up.

"Well, you've grown up now, and you should decorate your own house. Starting tomorrow, daddy will help you decorate it, okay?" Gong Chen continued to fool him seriously.

"Okay." The little girl answered happily. She was going to do something big.

The old mother Qian Muchue turned her head to the other side silently, unable to bear to look at Qian Xiaoya. The child is still too young. If she had a kindergarten level, she would not be fooled by her own father like this.

So, the father and daughter began to decorate the children's room next to the bedroom every day. As soon as Qian Xiaoya turned three, she was "driven" to the children's room. The poor little girl didn't know what this meant, and she happily stuffed her favorite things into the children's room every day.
