Chapter 712: Zi'ang Returns, Xingyue Transforms (Part 3 and 4)
"Men can't be described as cute." After his face was ravaged, the man suddenly became serious.
Jiang Fuyue: "Then what should I use?"
"Handsome, handsome, charming, all are fine."
"But I just think you're cute, what can I do?"
What else can I do?
"Well...it's cute, then."
That's good too.
Jiang Fuyue smiled all the way home, and even when the car stopped at the door of the villa, the corners of her mouth did not relax.
The man seemed to be infected and was also in a good mood.
"I'm going back." Jiang Fuyue unbuckled his seat belt and pretended to push the door.
The next second, the man stretched out his long arm and locked the door, preventing her from opening it.
Jiang Fuyue turned her head and was caught off guard by the man's deep eyes. He had taken off his mask, and an aggressive kiss came down on her lips.
“Hmm—”
This time, the man was obviously more skilled and even knew how to do some tricks.
Jiang Fuyue widened her eyes and looked at him in surprise.
This guy actually stretches...that thing.
Tsk!
After the kiss, the man looked satisfied. Jiang Fuyue leaned back in the chair, breathing slightly, and looked through the car window towards the second floor with a guilty look.
Fortunately, Brother Jiang is not here.
"Professor Xie, you're using sneak attacks, which is unethical."
"Dating is not fighting, why should we talk about martial ethics?"
“…I’m going home.”
This time, Xie Dingyuan did not stop him.
After watching Jiang Fuyue go in, he drove back to the next door.
…
That night, the moon was bright and everything was silent.
In the master bedroom on the second floor, Xie Dingyuan took a shower, sat on the headboard, and took out his cell phone.
Click on Qiandu and enter in the search box——
Who is Long Aotian?
Tens of thousands of entries popped up, and Xie Dingyuan randomly clicked on one.
Internet slang, also known as "Dragon Proud Sky" in English... used to satirize characters in novels, comics, and anime who appear incredibly powerful right from the start, acting irrationally and without using their brains, yet easily defeat powerful opponents...
Professor Xie: “…”
The next day the sun was scorching and bright.
After Xie Dingyuan got up, washed, and tidied himself, the first thing he did was to send a message to Jiang Fuyue -
【Yueyue, come here.】
Jiang Fuyue replied five minutes later: [What?]
I have the only French copy of Ebbins's The Secrets of World Physics.
【Coming soon! 】
Xie Dingyuan shook his head and laughed, put down his phone, walked to the full-length mirror and began to tidy up his appearance.
The shirt collar is not straight, the front is wrinkled, and the buttons are not in the same direction...
Take care of yourself, make sure everything is correct, and then go downstairs.
After sitting on the sofa and waiting for two minutes without hearing any knock on the door, he thought about it and decided to go to the kitchen to get a fruit plate.
Jiang Fuyue likes to eat apples, oranges, strawberries...
Finally, insert a toothpick into each piece of fruit, keeping the height consistent, and you're done.
He brought it to the coffee table, put it down, and just as he sat down, he heard the sound of the door lock turning.
Xie Dingyuan's eyes lit up, and he strode towards the entrance: "Yue——"
The door opened and Zhong Ziang rushed in.
"Uncle, I missed you so much!" he said, opening his arms for a bear hug. "Did you see the message my mom sent? But I'm already very touched that you took the honorable step of coming to the door to greet me for just a moment. Hey, what were you trying to say just now?"
Xie Dingyuan's eyes were a little dazed, and he even forgot to pull Zhong Ziang off his body.
"I heard the word 'more'. More what? I'm telling you, don't say I'm becoming more and more unreasonable. Before coming here, I asked my mom to inform you. I had already informed you in advance."
As he spoke, Zhong Ziang had already changed into slippers and walked towards the living room as if he knew the way. "Huh? Where's Aunt Liu? Why can't I see her?"
Seeing Xie Dingyuan still standing at the door, he turned around and called out, "Uncle?"
"...Hmm?" The man came back to his senses.
"What are you daydreaming about? I asked where Aunt Liu is. She always comes over to tell me what delicious food she's prepared for the day when I get home. Why isn't she here today? Is she on the balcony? I'll go check... Wow! There's a fruit plate!"
Zhong Ziang's eyes lit up, and he pounced on it like a hungry wolf, taking a bite on the left, then a bite on the right, nodding as he ate: "Mmm! So sweet!"
Xie Dingyuan: “…”
Zhong Ziang: "It looks much better than before. Aunt Liu's fruit platter skills have improved by leaps and bounds. Thumbs up!"
Xie Dingyuan: “…”
The professor didn't want to talk and just wanted to kick his nephew out.
He walked to the sofa and picked up his phone. The screen showed two unread messages.
One from Xie Yunzao: [Angang wants to go to your place. The old lady and I can't persuade him. Please keep an eye on him and don't let him get into trouble.]
There was another one from Jiang Fuyue: [Suddenly remembered I have something else to do, so I won’t go over for now]
Xie Dingyuan replied: [Okay.]
My mood dropped, but I wasn't depressed, just a little bit depressed.
Suddenly, there was a ding-dong sound.
Jiang Fuyue: [mi chirp]JPG
The man's mood suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He glanced at Zhong Ziang, who had already finished most of the fruit plate, and his eyes became more cautious: "Auntie Liu is on vacation and has returned to the countryside."
"Oh." Zhong Ziang nodded. "Uncle, have you been living alone these days? How do you eat?"
Xie Dingyuan sat down opposite him and suddenly said seriously, "I have something to tell you."
Zhong Ziang glanced at him and kept talking: "What's the matter, uncle? It seems so grand..."
"Jiang and I—"
"Wait a minute! My phone is vibrating, I need to answer it first. Hello? Yes, I'm here. Where are you?"
Xie Dingyuan's mouth tightened.
Zhong Ziang: "Really? Playing basketball outdoors in this sun? You're crazy... I'm telling you! Wouldn't it be nice to just go to the internet cafe and play online games? Okay, I'll be there right away!"
After saying that, he put away his phone and said, "Uncle, I'm going out to play for a while. I guess I'll be out all night tonight. You don't have to save any food for me. Bye--"
He came and went like the wind, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xie Dingyuan had to swallow back the words he hadn't finished saying.
He thought that he would have a good talk with Zhong Ziang tomorrow. The matter between him and Jiang Fuyue could not be hidden, and there was no need to hide it.
…
Jiang Fuyue had already changed her clothes and was ready to go out, but Wu Qian came.
Only then did she remember that she had asked Jiang Xiaodi to take a message to Wu Qian the day before yesterday, asking him to come over.
"Chatting in the study."
After saying that, he turned and went upstairs, and sent a WeChat message to Xie Dingyuan, telling him that he would not be going there for the time being.
When Jiang Xiaodi heard footsteps, he opened the bedroom door, poked his head out from the gap, looked at Uncle Wu, and then at his sister.
study.
Jiang Fuyue pointed to the opposite side and said, "Sit down."
Wu Qian sat down somewhat stiffly. Facing Jiang Fuyue, who was more than 20 years younger than him, he did not feel careless at all. Instead, he unconsciously tightened his grip and prepared himself for battle.
"Tell me what you think of Xingyue."
Wu Qian pondered for a moment: "...Currently, Xingyue has three contracted anchors: Chen Xing, Zhuo Bufan, and Yu Wenzhou. Right now, our main business is focused on short video live streaming, and our profit model primarily relies on traffic monetization. This is perfectly sufficient for an individual operator, but it's still too thin for a company."
"Besides, as the old saying goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket. Xingyue currently relies mainly on the two major short video platforms, Douyin and Slow Hand."
"To make an inappropriate analogy, the houses we build now are actually based on these two short video platforms. If one day they want to take back this piece of land, then the house we built on it, no matter how exquisite and gorgeous it is, will inevitably be demolished."
"I'm thinking that instead of relying on videos to attract fans and gather a large number of fans on the platform, it's better to shift the focus to cultivating anchors. Once successful, the anchor will not only be an anchor, but also a star!"
As he spoke later, Wu Qian's logic became clearer and his speech became smoother.
"The star's appeal is no longer limited to a single platform. Instead, they themselves become a walking container. Wherever they go, fans gather. This way, we can completely break free from the awkward situation of being dominated by the platform. On the contrary, the platform may even invite us to join in order to attract traffic."
Wu Qian has a very clear understanding of the difference between celebrities and anchors.
Lian Jiang Fuyue couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"Go on."
Wu Qian: "There are two main reasons why many influencer agencies are hesitant to take this step. One is that the quality of the streamers is not high enough to show for themselves; the other is that they lack sufficient resources in the entertainment industry, making it difficult to enter."
Jiang Fuyue asked in return: "Don't we have these two problems?"
"Of course it exists, but it's easily overcome."
"Tell me about it."
"First, regarding personal qualities, I asked a professional acting professor to administer an ability test to Chen Xing. It covers over twenty specific areas, including appearance, height, IQ, talent, emotional intelligence, and audience appeal. It provides a comprehensive assessment of Chen Xing's overall potential. This is the final report, you can take a look."
Wu Qian took out the prepared documents from his briefcase and handed them over.
Jiang Fuyue glanced at it briefly, his eyes landing on the comprehensive score column in the lower right corner: "95?"
"Yes, out of a full 100, Chen Xing received an assessment result of 95. Even the professor said he's a promising talent for the entertainment industry. If he can be consciously nurtured in this area while he's still young, his career will be longer than that of an average star. This, to a large extent, means he's more likely to achieve success in the future."
Wu Qian had thought about these words over and over again many times, but he had kept them in his heart and never said them out loud.
As the main person in charge of Xingyue Brokerage Company, he has the final say in almost every aspect of the company. His annual salary plus bonuses amount to over one million yuan a year.
It's time to be content.
If he were more moderate, he could just stick to the current operating model and continue to make money steadily.
But he believed that living a life of idleness and waiting for death was not Jiang Fuyue's original intention when she gave him the check for 500,000 yuan.
What's more, Jiang Fuyue is a person who dares to take risks and break the rules.
Without going too far, just look at the fact that she applied to Ming University with full marks. Who can have such courage and determination?
Wu Qian was like being hit by a bolt of lightning. He decided not to wait any longer but to take the initiative.
The first step of his plan was to make Jiang Xiaodi interested in becoming a star.
Sure enough, today I have the opportunity to sit down with Jiang Fuyue and discuss the future of the company face to face.
Even if the final result is not satisfactory, he will not regret his choice today.
Jiang Fuyue put down the information in her hand, her expression unclear: "Anything else?"
Wu Qian's eyes lit up. "Speaking of Yu Wenzhou, he's really good at talking, and he has a very valuable quality: humor!"
"Especially after training with a professional talk show teacher, his tone and word choice have improved significantly. Now, through 'Tucao Shuo', he has accumulated considerable popularity. This also shows how powerful variety shows, web dramas, and TV dramas are in attracting fans these days."
"And then there's Zhuo Bufan. He's a very hardworking young man, with good looks and height, and he's very photogenic, the kind that can handle a death scene!"
"In the words of a professional teacher, he is suitable for the screen! Now several web dramas are contacting me and want to use him."
"The resources are readily available. Our three anchors are all different types, and each one is very capable. Now we have the right time and place. It all depends on whether our company wants to transform into an entertainment industry agent."
Jiang Fuyue: "...are you done?"
Well!
Wu Qian: “That’s about it.”
"Since you can articulate this so clearly, you must have had this idea a long time ago, right?"
"It's not that early. About half a year ago, when a few children's dramas invited Chen Xing to audition, I started collecting information related to the entertainment industry."
In addition, he even found ways to get to know several screenwriters and small directors.
Although they are not famous, at least I can get some introductory experience.
It can also be considered a way of accumulating personal connections. Who knows if in the future you will be able to get in touch with bigger names in this circle through these people?
Wu Qian was always ready to enter the entertainment industry, but when it came to money, the decision was still in Jiang Fuyue's hands.
And the reason he came today was to try to see if he could persuade this big boss who controls the financial power.
Suddenly, knock, knock—
There was a knock on the door.
"Sister, it's me."
Jiang Fuyue asked him to come in.
Jiang Xiaodi pushed open the door, holding two glasses of water in his hands, "I brought you tea."
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow, "Well, put it down."
Wu Qian also reached out to take it.
Jiang Xiaodi had no reason to stay any longer: "Then... I'm leaving..."
Having said that, the slow and hesitant steps made it clear that the purpose was not to deliver water but to gather information.
"Aren't you leaving?"
"Sister..." He hesitated, "Can I stay?"
Jiang Fuyue remained silent.
"I'm in middle school now. I'm a big kid now and I can understand what you're saying!"
Just when Jiang Xiaodi thought his request had failed and was about to leave, Jiang Fuyue suddenly spoke -
"Well, it's related to you after all."
Jiang Chenxing immediately smiled: "Thank you, sister!"
Jiang Fuyue took a sip of tea and continued the conversation: "How much do you want?"
Wu Qian was stunned: "Huh?"
“What a budget!”
"A rough estimate shows that the first phase of investment will require about 20 million..." Wu Qian's heart was pounding. He could certainly hear the relaxation in Jiang Fuyue's words, but he was worried that the amount was too large and he would be rejected.
"Okay. You make this call and contact a man named Liu Jinzhong. He will prepare the check." Jiang Fuyue handed over the business card.
Wu Qian was unable to react for a long time. It was only when Jiang Xiaodi took the card and put it in his hand that he suddenly came back to his senses.
Is this it?!
It was not until he left the villa and walked out of the gate of Yutian Huafu Community that his mind completely resumed functioning.
He did not waste any time and immediately went to the address on the business card and successfully got a check for 20 million from Liu Jinzhong.
Wu Qian felt like he was floating as he walked.
He had been agonizing and struggling countless times, and only today did he finally muster up the courage to speak about something. But it turned out to be so smoothly carried out and accomplished?
He began to admire Jiang Fuyue's courage, and was also extremely grateful for her trust in him.
Twenty million is not a small amount of money. He can take it at will without any requirements or restrictions.
Wu Qian's blood suddenly boiled.
He vowed to make Xingyue bigger and stronger and become the new "star-making myth" in the entertainment industry!
This is worthy of Jiang Fuyue's appreciation and trust!
Wu Qian returned to the company full of energy, ready to start the transformation. Various arrangements and plans had to be put on the agenda, and he also had to take care of daily affairs. He would be very busy for a long time.
"Xiao Zhang, notify all departments to hold a meeting in 30 minutes. I have an important announcement!"
"Okay, Mr. Wu. But..."
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"That lady is here again. I've arranged for her to be in the small conference room. Do you... want to see her?"
Wu Qian paused.
Xiao Zhang couldn't help but secretly look at his expression.
It is said that the lady is Mr. Wu’s ex-wife. To be honest, she looks much worse than the administrative ladies of the same age in their company.
Not to mention compared with the internet celebrities in the industry.
Wu Qian: "Please organize the materials for the meeting first. I'll go over and take a look."
"Oh well!"
When Wu Qian walked over, the woman was awkwardly holding up the cup of water to drink, but when she saw him appear, she immediately put it down nervously.
"Aqian, I..."
"You can just call me by my name, or call me Mr. Wu like everyone else."
The woman smiled awkwardly: "Now that you're rich, you're putting on airs with me..."
"Is there anything you need from me?"
"Ah... Wu Qian, let's remarry! Everything should be the same as before. Even if you don't care about the relationship between you and me, you should think about your daughter! Can you bear to see her become a child from a single-parent family? Growing up sensitive and inferior?"
Wu Qian's eyes glared. "Do I need to remind you, Ms. Wang, that you've remarried! Please don't say such unrealistic things again! I will raise our daughter, but it has nothing to do with you!"
"I know you blame me for choosing to divorce you when things were at their worst, and for kicking you out of the house, but I did it all for our daughter! I don't want her to be dragged down by you anymore..."
"You don't want to be dragged down by me anymore, right?" Wu Qian said expressionlessly. "Okay, go back now. Don't come to the company to find me again. I won't see you again."
"Wu Qian—you're so cruel! Yes, you're rich now, and you can afford younger and prettier women! Don't think I don't know, you've been blinded by all those flowers and plants, and your heart is clouded! That's why you can't see me and my daughter..."
Wu Qian: "Ask the security to take her out."
"yes."
The woman was still cursing and throwing a tantrum when she was dragged out.
Several cleaning ladies gathered around, pointing and saying, "What's this woman doing? She's making such a fuss and swearing like a bitch!"
"I heard she's Mr. Xingyue Wu's ex-wife. Seeing him become successful, she wants to use her daughter to blackmail Mr. Wu into reconciling with them! How shameless!"
"Mr. Wu wouldn't really agree just because of his daughter, right?"
"Of course not! During the divorce, the daughter was awarded to the mother, and Mr. Wu also pays child support on a monthly basis. What else is there to be dissatisfied with? Mr. Wu is now wholeheartedly devoted to Jiang Chenxing and treats him better than his own son. I think they are more like father and son!"
"Right, right, right. Who wouldn't like a kid as cute as Chen Xing? I watch his videos and live streams every day. He's so cute!"
When the woman was dragged into the elevator, she narrowed her eyes and remembered the name——
Jiang, Chen, Xing!
