"Hmm...this matter definitely needs to be handled with more care."
Suddenly remembering something, Jiang Ran added, "There's one more thing. I think our platform now has the funds and capabilities to produce original dramas. We can find reliable screenwriters to adapt and film the novel copyrights we bought earlier."
Jiang Huai nodded, giving him a knowing look, and said with a smile, "I guess you already have an idea, right?"
He already knows his sister very well; she wouldn't bring up things he hadn't considered.
"Mmm." Jiang Ran nodded: "I've already decided. The female lead will definitely be Qiao Yan, and as for the male lead... I'll choose Xiao Yiran."
Qiao Yan is already considered a top-tier female celebrity, with good popularity and reputation. Casting her as the female lead would be very appealing to audiences.
Although her newly signed artist, Xiao Yiran, is currently unknown in the entertainment industry, he is destined to be a top star in the entertainment industry two years from now!
In his previous life, he only became known to the public two years later through a TV series. Subsequently, he gained countless fans with his outstanding appearance and unique personality, becoming an undisputed top star in the entertainment industry.
In this life, she could easily make him not have to wait two more years; he could become a top star much earlier thanks to the drama he starred in with Qiao Yan.
Jiang Huai nodded: "Xiao Yiran is indeed very good-looking. With Qiao Yan's popularity and Xiao Yiran's appearance, it would be hard for this drama not to be a hit."
"Hmm... I'll go with Jiang Xue later to pick out some scripts and see which one is more suitable for them. Oh, and those other three artists, they all have great looks and the potential to become famous. Remember to arrange some roles for them too. They don't have much popularity or fame right now, so let them take some well-defined supporting roles to get some exposure."
"Okay, I understand."
Upon returning from the company, Jiang Ran discovered that Su Xiong had made new moves.
She put on her headphones and heard a rustling sound first, followed by what sounded like a car starting up.
Then came Su Xiong's sly voice.
"President Jiang...you're a big shot, you surely wouldn't stoop to the level of someone as insignificant as me, would you? You're so rich, I'd be happy if you just gave me a tiny bit of it!"
"I remember warning you not to come looking for me again. Looks like you didn't listen to me?"
"President Jiang, I had no choice... Those people were really ruthless when they fought! They wanted me dead! If I can't pay back the money, I'll really lose my life! President Jiang! President Jiang, please give me some more money, and I promise I'll take the money and run far away, and never show my face in front of you again!"
Jiang Minghui's tone was clearly impatient: "You've said that several times already! I told you last time that was the last time I'd give you money. If you dare come looking for me again, I won't let you off the hook!"
"President Jiang, I had no choice. Those debt collectors forced me to do this... If I refused to pay back the money, they really would have beaten me to death!"
"What? You're afraid they'll beat you to death, but you're not afraid... I'll secretly take care of you?"
After a moment of silence, Su Xiong's voice rang out again.
"President Jiang, please don't try to scare me... You wouldn't do that. I may be a lowly person, but I still have some brains. I knew what happened back then wasn't so simple. I've already made thorough preparations. If you dare to touch me, the truth of what happened back then will be revealed to the public!"
"What did you say?!" Jiang Minghui roared furiously.
“President Jiang, you gave me such a large sum of money back then. How could I know that you wouldn’t kill me to cover up the truth? So, I’ve already preserved the truth and entrusted it to a trusted friend. He will reveal the truth to the public as soon as I die.”
Su Xiong snorted coldly, his tone threatening: "So, Mr. Jiang, you'd better give me the money today. Otherwise, if I get beaten to death by those debt collectors, my friends will think that you killed someone to cover up what happened back then. If the truth comes out, Mr. Jiang's losses will probably be much greater than this amount of money, right?"
"You—!" Jiang Minghui clearly hadn't expected to be tricked, and his face instantly darkened.
He'd already had enough on his plate with the Jiang family lately, and this damned bastard kept sneaking up to the company entrance every few days, asking him for money. He'd put up with him for ages!
I originally planned to get rid of him quietly, but I didn't expect him to still have the evidence from back then. He deserves to die!
"President Jiang, please don't get angry." Su Xiong's voice rang out again: "The amount of money I asked you for is not much. It's just a drop in the ocean for President Jiang."
Jiang Minghui's voice seemed to be suppressing his emotions: "How much money do you want?"
"Not much, just five million."
Upon hearing this number, Jiang Minghui's expression darkened further: "You've asked me for money several times already. Including what I gave you before, I've given you nearly fifty million in total!"
"Fifty million isn't much for someone like President Jiang. If the truth from back then were to be revealed, President Jiang's losses would be far more than fifty million. I imagine your company would also be affected then, wouldn't it?"
Jiang Minghui took a deep breath, his face dark and grim.
That bastard is addicted to gambling. He takes the money and gambles it all away. When he loses it all, he comes back to ask him for more!
If this continues, he will only become a bottomless pit, and it's likely that even the Jiang family's money will be used to pay off his debts.
He has some nerve! He actually dared to secretly hide the evidence from back then to threaten him!
Once he sends people to find that evidence, let's see how he deals with him!
Jiang Minghui knew that it was not a good time to provoke him, so he reluctantly took out a card from his pocket.
There are five million inside.
Upon seeing the card, Su Xiong's eyes lit up, and he smiled as he took the card from Jiang Minghui's hand.
"Thank you so much, President Jiang. You are so generous. Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, the matter from back then will remain a secret. You must bless me to live a long and healthy life, otherwise if anything happens to me, you will be implicated."
Although Su Xiong's tone was obsequious, his words carried a hidden threat, which greatly displeased Jiang Minghui.
damn it!
He'll deal with that bastard sooner or later! How dare he threaten him!
Hearing the conversation through the earpiece, Jiang Ran smiled disdainfully.
It seems that Jiang Minghui has been driven to the brink of despair by Su Xiong. Such a gambling addict is a bottomless pit. If he continues to threaten him with what happened back then, no matter how much money Jiang Minghui has, it won't be enough to fill the hole.
Not to mention that Jiang's revenue has declined significantly compared to last year.
Su Xiong keeps threatening him for money, and Jiang Minghui must have been fed up with him a long time ago.
Therefore, Jiang Minghui will definitely take action against Su Xiong.
