The Eldest Daughter was Reborn

In her previous life, Zhang Yansheng wasted her life because of her scumbag father and stepmother—smoking, drinking, getting tattoos, and drag racing. Reborn back to high school, Yansheng, a rebell...

Chapter 99

"First, the script," said Maureen. "In the past few years, the money was made by serious dramas. In the past two years, the popular ones are all adaptations of female-oriented novels, so now some people are turning their attention to male-oriented novels. Several projects that were approved this year are adaptations of male-oriented novels. When I was doing industry research, I happened to study this project."

"The original author of this article is indeed a great writer, but this is his early work, and it belongs to the old-fashioned cool style. It does not have the twists and turns of emotional development in female-oriented articles, but is more of the old-fashioned face-slapping cool style. But this kind of low-level coolness is okay if written in the article, but if it is expressed in the way of movies and TV... To be honest, I think it is very awkward, and the sense of coolness is greatly reduced."

"The few popular young actors are obviously used to protect their capital. According to their traffic data, theoretically, even if the film fails, they can still protect their capital." Maureen said, "But this is based on the premise that the data must be true. But in fact, I think the traffic data of these young actors is very inflated."

"So whether or not they can break even depends entirely on the conscience of the brokerage companies. The more inflated the data is, the higher the probability of losing money. This is not something I can say for sure, because after all, I can't get the real data."

"I understand, Sister Xiaomo. Thank you." Zhang Yansheng said.

Maureen asked, "Are you going to vote?"

"It's not me. I just invested in Director Xie's project. I don't plan to continue investing. I still have to go to school. I just happened to invest because it was fate." Zhang Yansheng said, "I heard that others invested, so I just asked."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yansheng told Zhang Huan what Maureen had said. Zhang Huan nodded: "Almost, almost. If I don't lose money, I can just break even. There's not much profit. It's not that interesting. I might as well do something else."

Zhang Yansheng said: "I still hope that Sister Qiqi's project can make money."

Zhang Huan groaned and said, "You sound like you're sure to win! You should worry about yourself first. What if you lose?"

Zhang Yansheng: "Are you expecting me to pay you?"

"..." Zhang Huan refused to admit it, "How could I possibly expect you to pay me back? Isn't that my money?"

Zhang Yansheng was very sure: "You just want me to pay you."

Zhang Huan said: "Nonsense!"

Another direction, another car. Zhang Yu’s wife, Zhang Yansheng’s aunt, her surname is Zhao and her full name is Zhao Lanfen.

Zhao Lanfen was grumbling the whole way: "This is too biased! Yanyan invested and only gave 20 million. But when it comes to our Qiqi, they only give her 5 million?"

Zhang Yu hummed twice.

Zhao Lanfen became angrier and angrier as she spoke: "Qiqi is the eldest granddaughter after all. She is a college student and should learn how to do business! What is Yanyan? She is just in the first year of high school! The old lady has her mind set on the Atlantic Ocean!

Zhang Yu hummed twice again.

Zhao Lanfen got no response and became angry. She slapped him and said, "Say something!"

Zhang Yu: “Driving!”

"You're driving with your mouth?" Zhao Lanfen said angrily, "If you don't say something fair, let's turn around and go back! Let's talk to the old lady!"

Zhang Yu has a headache. Although I knew that Zhao Lanfen didn't have the courage to really talk to the old lady, it still gave me a headache. He had no choice but to say, "The old lady's money, she can give as much as she wants to whoever she wants. No one can control her. Besides, it's free, how can she complain about it being too little? It doesn't make sense."

Zhao Lanfen was furious: "Am I angry about the amount of money? I'm short of that 10 or 20 million! I'm angry about the old lady's partiality!"

Zhang Yu said: "Absolutely not! They are all grandchildren, and the old lady is not partial to anyone."

Zhao Lanfen's voice shrilled, "No? Then tell me, what is the difference of 15 million between the 5 million and 20 million? Is it air?"

"That's different." Zhang Yu explained, "Yanyan's case was completely a coincidence, otherwise, she was just a kid, how could she know anything? The old lady was just teasing her, and told her that if Zhang Huan agreed to invest, she would double her investment. Who knew Yanyan would be so lucky, and she met a pretty reliable person and found a pretty reliable project. Zhang Huan thought it was a good idea, so he invested 10 million - you see, he is more stingy than us, we invested 20 million in Qiqi, and he only invested 1,000. The old lady saw that she had to keep her word, so she gave 20 million."

"The old lady has said what she wants, and it cannot be changed." Zhang Yu said, "When it comes to Qiqi, we can't force the old lady to give 20 million as well. It's good enough if the old lady gives 5 million to join in the fun and show her support."

Zhao Lanfen wanted to say something, but Zhang Yu said, "If you still think it's not good enough, then I'll listen to you. Let's go back and talk to the old lady. I'll tell her, mom, Qiqi's mom is not satisfied with you..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Lanfen said angrily, "Who is dissatisfied? Who said they were dissatisfied? Don't put this accusation on me! Go home!"

Zhang Yu chuckled.

Zhao Lanfen couldn't vent her anger on her mother-in-law, and she couldn't convince her husband, so she could only turn around and scold Zhang Qi who was sitting behind her.

"You are so dull!" she said angrily, "You go out with your grandma, but Yanyan knows how to make connections and find investment projects! You, on the other hand, are just a fool and serve the old lady like a maid! What's the point! Do you think your grandma cares about you?"

Zhang Qi lowered her head, bit her lips, and said nothing. As soon as Zhang Lin got on the car, he knew that his mother would complain all the way, so he put on his headphones and listened to the jingle-jingle electronic music, his head swaying to the rhythm of the music.

Amid the deafening music, you could see his mother's mouth opening and closing, and she kept the rhythm pretty well.

Now that all the children and grandchildren have gone back, the old lady's place has returned to peace and quiet.

The old lady served her health tea and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"

The old aunt has been with the old lady for many years and can easily detect the old lady's emotions.

The old lady sighed and blew gently on the floating tea leaves: "I am worried."

The old lady laughed and taunted her: "Look at what you said, you have many grandchildren and your family is rich, what are you worried about?"

"I'm worried about my two sons." The old lady sighed softly, "One is smart and good at business, but the wife he married is not what I like, and he is easily influenced by his wife. The other one has never grown up and is like a child. He was lucky to marry a smart wife, but she died of illness at an early age, and brought a stranger into the family, who is a complete troublemaker."

The old lady covered her mouth and laughed: "I think that troublemaker is very afraid of Miss Yanyan now."

"Yanyan stood up on her own." The old lady smiled. "If a person doesn't stand up on his own, no one can help him. Fortunately, Yanyan didn't let people down."

The old lady said, "I heard you spend money again today?"

The old lady said, "What can I do? I'm old now, so I'll just be a money-giving boy. But even if I give money away, I may not be liked by others."

The old lady curled her lips: "You are too careless."

"She's just idle. She's just idle." The old lady said, "She's never done anything serious outside. Before she got married, at least she was studying. After she got married, she did nothing. How could she not get sick from being idle? People really can't be too idle. It's easy to get brain problems."

"That's right. People like us who work out here don't have time to be angry." The old lady agreed, "My sister-in-law is angry with my mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law. My mother-in-law is 90 years old, but she still quarrels with her, and the little great-grandson just watches the fun."

Rural women and wealthy ladies seem to be very different, but they are essentially the same.

The old lady shook her head.

"Actually, I never thought of letting the kids practice with real weapons so early. Why should I rush? My two sons are in their prime, and I have five grandchildren. The family is prosperous, so why should I rush?"

"Originally, I was thinking that since Qiqi is in college, I should take her out for a walk. The things she learns in school are all dead things. Going out to listen to what real people say and think can broaden her horizons. Alas, who cares about Xiaohuan? She is so old, but she is still fighting for candy like a child, and she has to push Yanyan out."

"Yanyan is so young, I wonder what she can understand. Let's just bring her along to join in the fun. Who knows, Yanyan might just be that smart kid, she could make new friends, and find a good investment project for herself. The kid has already done this, she's working so hard, I've said it, of course I have to do it."

"It's just a small matter, but someone is upset and wants to seek justice. What are they looking for? I want her to decide my own money? It's like trying to force the issue. If you want justice, I'll let her see and let her understand that there is no such thing as 100% justice in this world." The old lady covered her mouth and laughed, "You, you are still so arrogant. Why are you so angry with the young people?"

The old lady felt much better after she finished talking about it. She laughed at herself and said, "Maybe I just have too much free time..."

Schools opened as scheduled, and the little kids returned to their cages. Countless parents across the country were celebrating.

No. 1 Middle School checks holiday homework very strictly, unlike many schools where teachers don’t even look at the homework after it is collected. The teacher shuffled the assignments and distributed them randomly so that students could grade them anonymously. Not only do the missing parts need to be filled, but there is also a punishment mechanism.

The students all smiled with their mouths crooked, checking very seriously and carefully, and covering their hands so that people around them could not see whose name they had judged.

The air was filled with suspicion. Whenever I looked up and saw someone looking at me, I suspected that the other person was grading my homework and was trying to find my mistakes in a very shady way.

Xu Lichen was so upset that he was glad that he was inspired by Zhang Yansheng and finished his homework seriously.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing when school starts. Then Zhang Yansheng will laugh at me again.

Fortunately, fortunately!

However, Zhang Yansheng did not become impetuous because of the speculative investment he made during the holiday. In fact, her grandma and her dad taught her a good lesson.

When school started, her heart calmed down completely.

"Out of the Solar System" was originally scheduled to be released during the summer of this year, but it is certain to be postponed. When they met producer Xie Dong and Wang, they promised that the film would be released during the Spring Festival next year! There’s no way Zhang Yansheng would believe them.

This movie was finally released during the Spring Festival the year after next. Therefore, the equal distribution will have to happen the year after next. She would have been a senior in high school by then.

So once you invest the money, you don't have to worry about it for the next two years and just do what you need to do.

But Zhang Yansheng didn't expect that just a few days after school started, after she returned home that day, Zhang Huan suddenly called her in the evening and stammered that he had something to tell her.

Maybe it was his sixth sense, Zhang Yansheng had a bad feeling at that time.

Sure enough, Zhang Huan said awkwardly: "Aunt Luo talked to me today and she wants to resign."
