Chapter 148 The Butterfly Effect (Part 1)

Brother Yue is prepared to spend money to make Yueyue happy.

He did have a few friends in the entertainment industry, and they had dinner together privately. The three men quickly came up with a vicious plan.

"Will it work?"

Brother Yue asked, tucking in his cigarette.

“It will work. These streamers are like celebrities; they make a living off their reputation. If you ruin their reputation, they won’t be able to make a living.”

Yuege: "Just find marketing accounts?"

The man nodded: "Yeah, just find some marketing accounts and buy a bunch of negative traffic."

Yue-ge: "Okay, I'll find someone to try it later."

The man asked curiously, "I'm more curious, who offended you?"

Brother Yue smiled slightly: "You didn't offend me."

The man said, "Helping someone vent their anger?"

Yue Ge grunted, stubbed out his cigarette, and stood up, saying, "I have a meeting this afternoon. I'll treat you to dinner another time."

"Go on, busy man."

The remaining two watched Yue Ge leave, then quietly continued their conversation in the private room.

"That's really interesting. He's a businessman, so why is he suddenly getting involved in the live streaming industry? Do you think he's really trying to mess with someone, or is he just asking us for advice on things in the entertainment industry?"

"Who knows? Let's wait and see. If he's just trying to mess with people, there will be a reaction online after a while."

"You're right."

"Yeah, let's keep eating. I'm starving from talking so much."

The two continued eating, but after only a few bites, one of them said, "No, what if he really wants to develop in the entertainment industry? I need to have someone investigate."

Another person said, "If you're going to develop, then develop. Why are you in such a hurry? Starting a company isn't something that happens overnight."

"That's not how it works. I'm leaving now."

"Go ahead, I'll eat by myself."

Once that person inquired, everyone in the circle who was well-informed knew about it.

Another city center.

Today, a very important guest arrived at the top-floor reception room of the company's CEO.

The two CEOs, dressed in suits and ties and from their respective fields, chatted casually after finishing discussing the contract.

Have you heard the rumors circulating in the industry lately?

Chen Su: "Hmm, the Yue family wants to enter the entertainment industry?"

What do you think?

Chen Su's conservative estimate: "It doesn't seem to be true. Their family has always been deeply involved in the industrial electrical appliance sector. If they suddenly switch to this, the shareholders wouldn't agree."

"That's what I think too, but the news is spreading everywhere, and it's quite detailed, so it's easy to overthink things."

Chen Su laughed and said, "There are always true and false rumors in the industry every year, so don't take them too seriously."

"Sigh..." the man sighed, "It wasn't my turn before. You know, with the Yue family being so big, if she really develops in the entertainment industry, my business will have to shrink again."

Chen Su poured a cup of tea for his old friend and pushed it in front of him: "Where did this news come from?"

After thinking for a moment, the old friend said, "I don't know. I'll go back and have someone check it out."

Chen Su: "Let's investigate."

An Jin's fan group.

Eating tangerines: Yay! Mom, Dad, brother, and sister are all busy. I'm finally free! ヾ(▽)ノ

Zhao Bingqiao: ovo Sasha, let's chat privately.

There's only one truth: what things our group members shouldn't hear!

I want to report Sister Sasha and Sister Qiaoqiao for having private contact!

I want to report this too!

Zhao Bingqiao: Haha, it's nothing, stop fooling around.

I don't care, I'll just make a scene.

Zhao Bingqiao glanced at the noisy group members, sent a red envelope in the group to shut them up, and then turned to chat privately with the one still eating tangerines.

Zhao Bingqiao: Sister Shasha, do you still remember me?

Li Sha: Of course I remember. Can you message me privately if you need something?

Zhao Bingqiao: Yes, I'll give you a voice message; it's not easy to type this out.

Zhao Bingqiao is a second-generation rich kid, and so is Li Sha. They are from similar social classes, so Li Sha can immediately understand what Zhao Bingqiao means just by looking at his words.

Also eating tangerines (Li Sha): Okay

Li Sha answered Zhao Bingqiao's call: "What's up, Qiaoqiao?"

Zhao Bingqiao said, "Sister Shasha, my family has also heard some news recently, about the Yue family..."

Li Sha suddenly realized, "What a coincidence, my family has been busy with this too lately."

Remembering her parents' puzzled expressions at the dinner table, Zhao Bingqiao asked Li Sha, a rich second-generation heiress whose family was even better off than hers, "Sister Sha Sha, my parents have been busy with this matter. I want to ask, is the Yue family really planning to enter the entertainment industry?"

The Yue family's situation has been circulating in the industry for a month or two, and people are still trying to find out about Li Sha's family.

She hesitated for a moment, then said ambiguously, "Qiaoqiao, people in the industry are asking about this, but I don't know the specifics."

Zhao Bingqiao asked alertly, "Are people in the industry asking about this?"

Li Sha: "Yes, it's been circulating for over a month or two now. It's hard to tell if it's true or false."

Zhao Bingqiao, whose parents had only learned the news a few days ago, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, thank you, Sister Sasha."

There are also differences between the children of the wealthy.

The news that Zhao Bingqiao's parents had only found out a few days ago had already spread like wildfire within Li Sha's circle.

Li Sha: "You're welcome, it's nothing."

For Li Sha, this was just a small matter, but for Zhao Bingqiao, it was a huge favor.

If it weren't for Li Sha's words, their family would probably have had to spend a lot more effort on this matter.

Now that they know the higher-ups have been quiet since they heard the news, Zhao Bingqiao's parents no longer need to bother asking around.

Zhao Bingqiao: "That's not how it works. Sister Sasha, are you going to the offline dinner hosted by An'an next week?"

Li Sha smiled and said, "Of course."

An Jin finally managed to host an offline gathering, and as An Jin's eldest sister, she certainly wouldn't be absent.

Zhao Bingqiao said, "Okay, then I'll thank you in person later."

Li Sha: "No need, no need, it's nothing."

Zhao Bingqiao: "Yes, yes, it's settled then. We'll contact each other offline."

After saying that, Zhao Bingqiao hung up the voice call and turned to call her parents.

"It's really strange. This news is spreading everywhere, with truth and falsehood mixed together, making it impossible to see through it at all."

"Yes, I don't know what the Yue family is thinking."

At the same time, at the end-of-month shareholders' meeting of Yuejia Group, other shareholders shared the same idea as Zhao Bingqiao.

"What is the boss really thinking? Is this move to enter the entertainment industry true or false?"

When questioned by the shareholders in person, Yue Ge said with a hint of absurdity, "Of course it's fake."

He assured shareholders, "The group's plans for the next few years will not change, and we will not venture into the entertainment industry."

At the head of the meeting, the group's CEO, Yue Ma, appeared on the computer screen, looking at Yue Ge with a cold expression.
