Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Capital Injection
"What took you so long?" Tong Xuan was packing her last piece of clothing when she saw Jiang Yiyu holding the paper bag she had just taken away. She looked confused, her hair that had been neatly curled was now a little messy, her eyes were red and swollen, and her lipstick had probably come off completely because she had washed her face.
That's why they say people who are filming movies are full of emotions, easily sentimental and stuck in a rut. He's just a husband, but why does he make her so distracted?
Look at this house, clothes, and jewelry. When you are sad, you use money to comfort yourself.
"What's going on?" Jiang Yiyun tried to keep her voice steady, not sounding too strange. She finally understood that she couldn't be soft-hearted with Cheng Shuze, that bastard. If she let her guard down, he would take advantage of her and press her further.
Where on earth did he learn this trick of pretending to be weak and pitiful? He succeeded in taking advantage of her and she was caught off guard. Her original plan of concentrating on work and ignoring everything else during this period of time, and also taking the opportunity to leave someone out in the cold, was disrupted. Fortunately, there was still a chance to save her.
She immediately joined the filming crew, and everything else was just a passing cloud.
"Almost there. I've got everything I wanted." At Tong Xuan's feet were a large bag of clothes on either side, and a small box of jewelry. At first glance, it looked like a robber had returned with a full load of loot. However, Jiang Yiyu's closet was quite full, and even if some were taken away, it was still quite full. "I'll try to return it to you intact after the filming is finished."
"Okay, once we get the stuff, we'll leave."
Jiang Yiyu was afraid that Cheng Shuze upstairs would suddenly make some noise, so as soon as she got the things, she hurriedly took the two of them and evacuated in a quick car.
Now that the costume issue has been resolved, everyone in the crew breathed a sigh of relief. The large amount of funds saved can be used to polish the details and texture of the show.
The main creative staff read the script together in the studio for three days, going over all the important plot points. The filming of "The Little Mermaid Who Mistakenly Becomes a Rich Family's Daughter" is about to start.
There is a large film and television base in the suburbs of Linjiang City. In the past few years, the sets were mostly costume dramas and period dramas. In recent years, it has been greatly expanded and many new studios for modern dramas have been built, which just happened to allow them to catch up.
He Shu, Zhou Yu'an and Wu Jun moved to the Linjiang Film and Television Base first. Jiang Yiyu also went back home. After packing her luggage, she put the suitcase on the high-floor SUV she had specially replaced, closed the car door, and was about to start the car when her cell phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number in the city. Jiang Yiyu picked up the call and pressed the speaker button. The next second, the overly enthusiastic voice from the other end kept echoing in her SUV.
"Is it Miss Jiang Yiyun Jiang?"
"I am. What's up?"
"Oh, hello, Miss Jiang. This is Yunyi Film and Television. Have you recently launched a new filming project called 'The Little Mermaid Becomes a Wealthy Daughter'? After research and discussion, we believe your project is unique and novel, and has considerable value. We would like to invest in your project."
Jiang Yiyun: "...What company are you from?"
"Yunyi Film and Television." The other party seemed to be worried that Jiang Yiyun was a rookie who hadn't heard of them. After all, after receiving Mr. Cheng's instructions, they had diligently researched the project for a long time and discovered that Miss Jiang, whom Mr. Cheng had specifically asked for, didn't seem to have much experience in the film and television industry, with a blank resume. This project was their first major, formal production, and the lead actor was a completely unknown newcomer. According to Yunyi's usual standards, this would have been a project that would have been eliminated in the first round. They would never consider investing in such a small-scale drama with a 99% risk rate and a 0.01% return rate.
However, this was a special concern from General Cheng, and He Zhu had also specifically reminded them that everyone at Yunyi had put in 100% of their enthusiasm.
Jiang Yiyun: "I don't remember investing in your company."
Filming is expensive, so the more investment the better. She later tried to invest the project in several large film and television companies. After she knew that Cheng Shuze was behind Yunyi, she naturally would not invest in Yunyi. However, the other film and television companies obviously saw that their team was composed of people with no fame, no highlights, and no connections, so they did not even respond.
Normally, a young director who has just entered the industry would be extremely excited if he heard that his project was chosen by Yunyi. However, Director Jiang was very calm and even cared about where they saw her project.
Of course, they couldn't say that it was Mr. Cheng's intention. They were planning to analyze it from the perspective of industry prospects, novel subject matter and other factors, but the other party seemed to have no intention of listening to them.
"I'm sorry, I don't lack funds and don't need investment." When Yun Yi called her, Jiang Yiyu could guess with her toes that it must be Cheng Shuze's intention. What was this? Was this investment a gesture of goodwill or a deterrent? It was a big deal to have a few dollars. If he became her party A, he could do whatever he wanted in the future and she had to listen to whatever he said?
Fuck you.
It was the first time that Yunyi encountered a director who rejected their investment. He was stunned for a long time and thought that the other party had misheard.
"Wait a minute, Director Jiang, you might have heard wrong. We are Yunyi Film and Television! Director Jiang, after researching your project, our company plans to invest 6,000..."
"I don't need any money. Let your president take the money and go away. Don't bother me anymore." Jiang Yiyu hung up the phone.
It was confirmed that this was really the only ruthless person in the history of the industry who was not afraid of offending Yunyi at all. The Yunyi Film and Television conference room was silent for a long time, not only because they failed to fulfill Mr. Cheng's instructions, but also because of what the other party had just said.
All the senior executives personally took part in the task assigned by General Manager Cheng. The person who made the call was the business unit manager, and the president of Yunyi sat next to him with a thermos cup to supervise.
When I heard the other end of the phone hang up, a mouthful of tea leaves got stuck in my throat.
He didn't know this Miss Jiang, and judging from the other party's tone, the president probably wasn't referring to him.
Could it be Mr. Cheng who was being yelled at? He dared to yell at Mr. Cheng so rudely, and Mr. Cheng even told me to throw money at him, acting completely different from his usual cold and rational self. Everyone present silently raised their regard for this previously unknown Director Jiang to the highest level.
This person is a ruthless person who can control Mr. Cheng.
"This...what should I do? Should I fight again?" The business unit manager touched his bald head, feeling as if he had been involved in some important matters concerning Mr. Cheng that he shouldn't have been involved in.
"How should I know?" President Yunyi was also worried. "Forget it, why not just report it directly to the higher-ups? This is no longer something we can control."
He Yue hesitated to speak. He had just received Yunyi's work report, but was thinking about how to use more elegant language to describe the matter.
Ever since Mr. Cheng left in the middle of the last meeting, he seemed like a completely different person when he came to work the next day.
The difference was so subtle that it took him several days to figure out what was different.
Although Mr. Cheng was still the same cold-blooded workaholic as before, he felt that Mr. Cheng seemed to be in a much better mood, and his brows and eyes were much more relaxed. Moreover, when he delivered coffee, he saw Mr. Cheng staring blankly at his phone more than once!
Mr. Cheng was actually flipping through the book "One Hundred Rules for a Man to Chase a Wife". The book that the evil project manager stuffed in his hand completely lowered the grade of the original mahogany bookshelf filled with business reports and financial books, and the entire elite CEO's office!
If word gets out that Mr. Cheng looks like he's in love, it will ruin his usual image as a cool, noble, and aloof young man from a wealthy family.
There is also the obvious tooth mark on Mr. Cheng’s neck.
It's obvious that someone bit him. Who could leave such a mark on Mr. Cheng?
When Mr. Cheng came to work that day, several small groups in the group were all in an uproar. It was mainly the female colleagues with sharp eyesight. Even though they didn't dare to look at Mr. Cheng directly for a few more times, they still calculated through careful analysis that the traces in this position must be the object declaring sovereignty. Moreover, Mr. Cheng didn't even have the intention to cover it up, as if she was afraid that others would not see it.
While they lamented their motivation to come to work every day, the wealthy single man was unexpectedly found to be in a relationship, and they were all swiping their screens to wonder who could possibly have married this young man. Amidst the screens of people scratching their heads and wondering, the project manager remained steadfast in his opinion.
[Xiang Jing: What nonsense! It's obvious that Mr. Cheng had a fight with the bad guys, and the wound was caused by someone using underhanded pinching. Did you know that there was a thief in Mr. Cheng's house?]
[Emm, no way, does anyone really believe it? ]
[Hahahahaha, straight men are like this. They can't see. What can leave teeth marks? I'm dying of laughter.]
[Xiang Jing: Attention, everyone above. Our employees are prohibited from making remarks that damage the image of the group president.]
"Manager, you actually think Mr. Cheng can't beat a thief. You are insulting Mr. Cheng."
[I agree. And why don’t you believe Mr. Cheng has a partner? Do you have any opinions about Mr. Cheng?]
For the first time, the project manager was overwhelmed by the siege and angrily used his power to silence all employees for a day, forcing them to concentrate on their work and not discuss gossip.
Having said that, if Yun hadn't handed over this report, He Yue would definitely have thought that President Cheng had reconciled with Miss Jiang.
It was clear that not long ago, Miss Jiang was a taboo word and no one was allowed to mention her. When she came back, she was arrogant and cold and dismissive. How long has it been since then? What happened and Mr. Cheng has completely fallen for her again?
"Mr. Cheng, Yunyi said that Miss Jiang rejected your investment."
Mr. Cheng raised his head and squinted his eyes: "What did you say exactly?"
"Uh, look." He Yue really didn't dare to tell Mr. Cheng directly, so he had to put the paper report handed over by Yun Yi on Mr. Cheng's desk.
After a while, Cheng Shuze chuckled softly.
Just when He Yue thought that Mr. Cheng would have some big reaction, he heard Mr. Cheng ask, "Is Yang Han back recently?"
"Ah? Yes, Young Master Yang just returned to Linjiang a few days ago."
"Put aside the unimportant things at hand and make an appointment with him, the sooner the better."

Author's words: Yang Han: Brother Cheng, you used to ignore me, but now you can't reach me/smile
Cheng Shuze:?
Yang Han: I'm kidding, brother! I'm kidding! If you need anything, just tell me. I'm always available.
