After "Ghost" became a huge hit in China, Yin Chengjue began planning to translate it into Chinese and release it in foreign theaters.
From the web series "Blood Mist" to the variety show "Don't Close Your Eyes When It Gets Dark," and then to the movie "Ghost Walk."
Many people have noticed that Yin Chengjue has only invested in these three works, plus the animated version of "Blood Mist," yet he has reaped huge profits from each investment, not only making a fortune but also ensuring that the Yin family's higher-ups don't get a single scrap of the feast.
Seeing Yin Chengjue like this, the Yin family's higher-ups vaguely realized that although Yin Chengjue was the son of Feng Chengda, a man who had no ability and only knew how to be arrogant and domineering, Yin Chengjue's personality was completely different from Feng Chengda's.
Previously, when Old Master Yin retired behind the scenes and entrusted his adopted son Yin Qiushi and son-in-law Feng Chengda to manage the affairs of the Yin family, he naturally had some intention of testing the waters.
The two had previously been rivals, secretly forming cliques and arguing fiercely over the possessions of the Yin family. Later, when Feng Chengda's shady dealings were discovered, Yin He divorced him in a fit of anger, completely removing Feng Chengda from the center of power within the Yin family and giving Yin Qiushi better opportunities for advancement.
Yin He had no interest in competing for these things, while Yin Qiushi, though seemingly gentle, was actually very ambitious and quickly used this time to develop considerable power.
Everyone thought that with Yin Qiushi's abilities, taking over the Yin family in the future would be a piece of cake.
But now they discovered that Yin Chengjue was not the playboy image that Feng Chengda had always instilled in them. On the contrary, since he took office at Huansheng, Huansheng's development has been significantly better than before.
Rumor has it that Old Master Yin has been in a very good mood lately, often talking about his eldest grandson. In addition, his 70th birthday is in a few days, and he will definitely be hosting a banquet for many guests. If nothing unexpected happens, Old Master Yin will probably announce something at the banquet.
There was speculation everywhere in the Yin family, while Yin Chengjue was inviting Rong Yu to attend Old Master Yin's 70th birthday banquet with him.
Rong Yu hesitated, "Is this really okay? Besides those powerful and influential people, your relatives and friends will also be attending the birthday banquet, right?"
Yin Chengjue nodded: "Yes, it's a good opportunity to take you to see them."
"But what if they notice something and then object?" Rong Yu, who had been thinking about going public with their relationship, started to worry after hearing that she would have to meet the parents.
"It's okay, we can let them get to know you first, and then gradually accept you," Yin Chengjue comforted him. "Don't worry."
"But what if they don't accept..."
Yin Chengjue shrugged: "There's nothing I can do about it. I'm just explaining the situation to them, not asking for their opinions. Their objections are useless."
"Well... okay." Rong Yu nodded hesitantly, then said, "Brother, you're so strange. You clearly don't want to make our relationship public online, but you're very eager to meet my parents."
Yin Chengjue was somewhat puzzled by Rong Yu's question: "Is this so strange? Going public about your relationship online will affect your career, but it's different at home. If your family knows, they will either support you or oppose you, it's just two different attitudes. Besides, even if we go public online, our family will still find out, won't they?"
“Uh…that makes sense…” Rong Yu thought to herself: That’s not necessarily true. My family doesn’t pay much attention to entertainment news, and they might not even know that I’m active in the entertainment industry.
Even if they knew, they would probably pretend not to know, right?
Rong Yu knew all too well the temperaments of her husband and mother. When faced with things they didn't like, they would pretend to be blind, as if pretending to be blind would prevent things from happening.
"Rong Yu?" Yin Chengjue noticed that Rong Yu's expression was a little unnatural and thought that he was not ready, so he quickly said, "If you have any concerns, you don't have to go. There's no rush at this time."
"Is it okay?" Rong Yu visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "Actually, I'm not ready yet."
Yin Chengjue: "Grandpa invited many people to his birthday banquet this time. Although Yin Qiushi is the host, I have also received the list of invitees. If nothing unexpected happens, many well-known directors in the industry will be there. If you can meet them and make a good impression, it will be beneficial to your future development."
Upon hearing this, Rong Yu paused for a moment before saying, "Isn't meeting the parents the most important thing? I'm not even prepared to do the most important thing, so how can I do those unimportant things?"
"How can you say your career is unimportant?" Yin Chengjue said helplessly.
Rong Yu said seriously, "Everything is relative. However, even though I'm not going... you can't drink too much. Send me a WeChat message when you have free time. I want to know how drunk you are!"
Yin Chengjue smiled and ruffled Rong Yu's hair: "Okay, I got it."
After Rong Yu finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment: "Won't you think I'm interfering too much in your private life, brother?"
“No.” Yin Chengjue lifted Rong Yu’s chin and said in a low voice, “Xiao Yu is clearly concerned about me, how is she interfering with me? Besides…”
Yin Chengjue paused, making sure he had piqued Rong Yu's curiosity, before continuing, "My private life is about you, Xiao Yu."
Rong Yu: "..." Rong Yu cleared her throat and rubbed her slightly reddened ears: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
On the day of Old Master Yin's 70th birthday, Yin Chengjue went out early in the morning. After all, it was a family event. As Old Master Yin's grandson, Yin Chengjue should have arrived early, even if he wasn't in charge of hosting the event. He could have just stood there as a decoration, otherwise outsiders would have gonessiped about him.
When Rong Yu woke up early in the morning, she reached out and touched the other half of the bed and found that it was only slightly warm.
Rong Yu dawdled as she buried her head in the other half of the blanket, took a deep breath, hugged the blanket, rolled around on the bed a few times, and finally sat up slowly with her hair all messy.
Having grown accustomed to being held and rubbed in the morning before opening her eyes, and then finding motivation to brush her teeth and wash her face from the aroma of breakfast, Rong Yu was clearly very unaccustomed to suddenly having to get up on her own to brush her teeth, wash her face, and find food.
"Brother...you must have done this on purpose..." Rong Yu grumbled and complained before reaching for her phone, which was lying to the side. She glanced at the time...hmm, there was still half an hour before the performance class started.
Oh, there's still time.
Rong Yu rubbed her eyes and got out of bed. She went into the bathroom to wash her face and, after waking up a little, suddenly shuddered!
Wait a minute! Something's not right! I'm staying at my brother's house tonight, not in the company dormitory!
In other words, time is running out!
Rong Yu quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face, grabbed her backpack from the sofa and ran. When she passed the kitchen, she suddenly stopped, ran in and lifted the lid off the pot.
A rich, warm aroma instantly filled the air, and Rong Yu almost drooled as soon as she took a breath.
Five large white steamed buns were placed in the pot. Although the buns looked deformed and some even had filling leaking out because the dough was not evenly wrapped, Rong Yu knew that this was Yin Chengjue's first time making steamed buns last night, and it was already quite good that he could do it like this.
Besides, although it doesn't look very appealing, the meat inside is a corn and shrimp filling that Yin Chengjue prepared. One bite and it's fresh and delicious, with just the right amount of saltiness for Rong Yu.
Rong Yu grabbed a plastic bag, quickly filled it with five steamed buns, stuffed them into her mouth, and ran out as fast as she could!
However, before he could even run to the roadside to hail a taxi, a familiar red sedan drove into the residential area. Recognizing the license plate, Rong Yu's eyes lit up. He swallowed the bun that was stuffed in his mouth and ran towards the car, waving and shouting, "Sister Sally! Help!"
As if hearing Rong Yu's call, the red car noticeably slowed down. The car was already moving slowly into the residential area, and with this pause, Rong Yu caught up and waved to the driver's seat.
"Xiao Yu!? You dressed like this?" Sally stared at the person in the black tracksuit, with no makeup, lips as red as if they were coated with oil, and carrying several large steamed buns for a long time before recognizing it as Rong Yu. She almost fainted from anger: "My little darling! You think you can go out like this!"
Rong Yu had already dashed into Sally's car: "I can't help it, I forgot to set my alarm. Sally, are you going back to the company? I'm going to be late for my acting class!"
Sally got even angrier when she heard this: "Didn't you see the message I sent last night? Take a day off from today's performance class. Your boy group needs to start preparing the dance for the next performance. Today we need to finalize the type of music and the direction of the choreography. Also, the variety show that I arranged for your GCD boy group has been scheduled for you. You have to leave to record it the day after tomorrow."
Rong Yu then remembered this: "Oops, I almost forgot!"
"The variety show 'The Smoke from the Chimneys' became popular last year. The first episode has already aired, and this is the second episode. The regular cast members are still the same, including Liu Qingling, whom you are already familiar with. This time, you are going as guest stars, so remember to help out as much as possible and be careful with your words. They film there 24 hours a day, and they can edit whatever they want in post-production, so don't think you can relax just because you're sleeping."
Rong Yu nodded repeatedly as she ate her steamed bun.
Sally continued to give careful instructions: "Since you're going as a whole boy group, you know what I mean? Mingqian will be there too, so you two shouldn't make things awkward."
Rong Yu: "Do we look awkward together?"
Sally: "At least your fans have become enemies, especially after the release of 'Ghost in the Sky'. Many reviews said that Ming Qian's acting skills were made to look particularly amateurish, and his fans firmly believed that we were spreading rumors."
Rong Yu swallowed the bun in her mouth: "Huh? Is this a rumor?"
Rong Yu blinked with a rather innocent expression.
