Chapter 38 The King of Dramas
“I’m sorry, I don’t plan to be a star.” Shen Ju’an said.
Xu Youyou didn't intend to let him go, but calculated the bill for him on the spot: "You make 25,000 yuan a month now? It may seem like a lot, but this money won't last long!"
"You need to rent a slightly better house in Shanghai for at least 5,000 yuan a month. Young men are growing up, so they must eat well, right? Food expenses start at 5,000 yuan a month, and buying clothes costs 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. When you start working, you need to be filial to your parents, which costs 2,000 yuan a month. If you have a girlfriend and give her gifts from time to time to create a little romance, it will cost 5,000 to 10,000 yuan."
"If you calculate it this way, you're in danger! With 25,000 a month, you can't save a penny!"
"House prices in Shanghai are so expensive. How can you buy a house if you can't save money? Even if your family helps you pay the down payment, you still have to pay the mortgage yourself. Seven or eight thousand a month is such a huge pressure!"
Shen Ju'an couldn't help but get nervous when he heard her calculating the accounts, even though he wasn't an employee of a relative's company at all.
Xu Youyou changed the subject: "Being a star is different. Haven't you seen what people say online? Top artists can make two million a day, and they can buy a good house in Shanghai in ten days. When you really become a top star, you will make money even by breathing! There will be a lot of people paying for any photo you take. Don't worry, although my entertainment company is newly opened, I am not that kind of black-hearted boss, and the contract I give you will definitely be the most favorable!"
Shen Ju'an was actually moved for a moment, but after a moment his occupational disease came back and he couldn't help asking, "Have you ever worked in pyramid schemes?"
Xu Youyou didn't think much about it, thinking that the other party was hesitant, and immediately stuffed her business card into Shen Ju'an's hand: "If you don't believe me, come visit our company, and I'll show you the dramas produced by our company."
She was afraid that Shen Ju'an would not believe her, so she pointed at Song Zhibai who was standing beside her and said, "That's the current No. 1 in our company. Isn't he very handsome? He has only been signed with us for more than a month, and he has already starred in a short drama. Don't worry, we don't hide anyone. If there is a drama, we will really give it to him!"
After his experience of seeing a doctor abroad, Song Zhibai was full of gratitude towards Xu Youyou. Seeing that she was recruiting people, even though he had always been socially anxious, he took the initiative to help endorse her: "You can completely trust our boss. This time when I accompanied my mother to see a doctor abroad, the boss didn't even blink an eye and spent tens of millions. If she can't be trusted in the entertainment industry, then no one can be trusted."
Shen Ju'an was not short of money, but he was still shocked when he heard this number.
Because Song Zhibai was thinking about working to pay off Xu Youyou's debt, he kept all the bills and handed them to Shen Ju'an to see.
Medical resources abroad have always been expensive. Not counting the cost of medical agencies and charter flights, Song's mother's treatment costs in the hospital alone amounted to three million US dollars.
After Shen Ju'an finished reading the bill, he became serious when facing Xu Youyou: "Ms. Xu, I am very grateful for your appreciation of me, but I really have no plans to venture into the entertainment industry."
Shen Ju'an felt that anyone who spent a fortune to buy horse bones would be respected no matter what they did.
Seeing his firm attitude, Xu Youyou felt sorry for him and said, "It's a pity that you are so handsome and don't act in movies or TV series. If you change your mind, you can contact me at any time. I have kept this opportunity for you."
Shen Ju'an nodded and carefully put Xu Youyou's business card into his wallet.
The middle-aged woman at the side joked, "Ju'an, if you become a big star, you can make hundreds of millions a year. Wouldn't you be tempted by such a large sum of money?"
Shen Ju'an looked helpless: "Aunt, please stop teasing me. I have social anxiety and don't want to enter the entertainment industry."
The middle-aged woman stopped talking and picked up a copy of Nature magazine to read.
Xu Youyou looked at her in surprise because of her action. As one of the top magazines in the academic world, Nature magazine is not only expensive and not easy to buy, but also has an extremely high threshold for reading.
Xu Youyou couldn't help but doubt the identity of this middle-aged woman.
But her inquiring gaze didn't last long. The middle-aged woman suddenly put away the magazine and complained casually, "What kind of stuff is written in this magazine your cousin asked me to bring? It's all in English and it hurts my eyes. I can't understand it at all!"
Shen Ju'an was stunned for a moment, but soon cooperated and said, "Aunt, if you are tired, take a nap."
The middle-aged woman directly covered her face with the magazine, as if she really couldn't understand the magazine.
The rest of the journey was uneventful. The only thing worth mentioning was that when the plane was about to land, the system reward appeared in front of Xu Youyou.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the task of picking up leaks and receiving the reward: a private jet (the task reward is stored at the Shanghai Airport, please claim it as soon as possible.)]
Xu Youyou resisted the urge to bite her lips and did not scream.
The reward for preventing the plane from crashing turned out to be a private plane! After the plane landed, Xu Youyou, accompanied by airport staff, saw her new baby.
Gulfstream G700.
There are only 20 private jets of this model in the world!
Xu Youyou is a vulgar person, and he searched the price at the speed of light: the starting price is 90 million US dollars!
But she didn't feel happy for long, because she was about to bleed money. The annual hosting fee was 5 million yuan, and the operating cost was 20 million yuan.
Looking at the sky-high bill, Xu Youyou wished she could auction the plane off on the spot.
"Ms. Xu, are you going to operate this plane publicly? Many people now prefer to travel by charter plane." The staff asked with a smile.
Xu Youyou can indeed make some money back through public operations. She had chartered someone else's private jet when she went abroad before, and spent more than one million yuan for each trip. In fact, she made money very quickly.
But after careful consideration, she shook her head.
Xu Youyou thought that her current identity was different. With the bargain-hunting system in hand, she would only become richer and richer in the future. She didn't like her things being touched by others, and was willing to pay for her mysophobia.
Xu Youyou had just returned to Tomson One in the car that picked her up at the airport. Before she could lie down on the bed to adjust to the jet lag, the phone rang.
"It's a hit! Boss, our skit is a hit!" Ouyang Ouyang's excited voice exploded on the phone.
Xu Youyou silently moved the phone further away, and waited until the other party finished roaring before she asked calmly, "What happened?"
"The short play was released on the video platform five days ago. It has grossed over a million dollars a day in three days. Today, it's even more incredible, breaking over 10 million! The platform boss was shocked and said that if it continues to be popular, our short play will be the best show on the platform this year!"
