Magic City, Ningjing Oriental

Tang Yan was wearing pajamas, standing in the entrance hall of the apartment building, handing over the breakfast she had just bought to her assistant.

"This is the buns from the shop you like, this is soy milk and milk, this is Sister Mi's sandwich and salad, and there is also a pie and porridge you ordered..."

It was obviously not the first time for the assistant to do this and he was very skilled at it. As for today's breakfast, it was a little inconsistent with yesterday's, as there was obviously more.

She said she didn't know and didn't dare to ask, so she just bought whatever the boss asked her to buy.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Tang Yan took note of the things, and the assistant's work for this morning was completed.

Unless there are special circumstances, Tang Yan and her friends usually order takeout at noon, so she doesn't have to worry about it.

According to the normal schedule, Tang Yan will accept a telephone interview from a magazine in the afternoon, and then have a private fitness class. In the evening, she will have time to attend a small cocktail party hosted by a partner.

However, based on her experience, whenever something happened that she didn't dare to intervene in, Tang Yan would try her best to turn down unimportant work.

Although this behavior sometimes causes unnecessary work and trouble for assistants and others.

But then again, every time this happens, they can take the opportunity to slack off with pay, and occasionally get some small benefits, so the assistants are actually happy.

"Bye, have fun, sister."

In a good mood, the assistant couldn't help but wink at Tang Yan ambiguously, which made the latter embarrassed and angry and leave.

"Leave quickly, I'll call you if I have anything."

In cases like Tang Yan's, they can hide it from outsiders, but not from the assistants around them.

The assistant's work and life are highly overlapped with the artist's daily life, and he or she even takes care of the artist's food, clothing, housing and transportation. If there is any disturbance in the artist's daily life, the assistant will naturally be the first to realize that something is wrong.

Fortunately, for an assistant who can stay with a popular star for a long time, vision and eloquence are extremely important, and there are also various contracts and treaties to endorse them. Normally, the chance of being backstabbed is relatively small.

Of course, nothing is absolute, so sensible artists should usually try to win over others, bind them with emotions and benefits, and prevent accidents.

Although assistant Tang Yan is a newcomer after joining Coral Entertainment, she is smart and clever in her work and is very tight-lipped. She is highly trusted, otherwise she would not be asked to deliver meals.

The assistant was about to leave with a smile, but Tang Yan remembered something and asked her to wait a moment, then went in and took out a few small boxes.

"Wow, Armani and Lancome, this is La Mer cream, right? You gave me the whole box?"

The assistant was very surprised. Tang Yan laughed and said, "Don't show off to Xiao Liu and the others. Just ask if it's a sample or a gift."

"I understand, I understand. Thank you, sister."

The assistant nodded his head and said that what female celebrities have the most is cosmetics. Sometimes many brands will take the initiative to send some classic models or new products for trial. There will also be discounts if you buy them yourself, and they will also give you a lot of gifts.

The female star definitely couldn't use all these things by herself, so she either gave them away or distributed them among her team.

Even though most of them are samples or gifts, they are all big brands and are worth a lot of money in small amounts. At least they are good things for assistants.

But the assistant was lucky today. When Wei Yang came back from Thailand, he went to the duty-free shop and bought some cosmetics and bags and accessories to bring back.

Boss Wei doesn't have a deep understanding of cosmetics and bags, but he knows how to spend money.

Buy whichever is more expensive!

Buy whichever brand is more famous!

The one that has both of the above characteristics and has particularly good sales must be bought! As long as you grasp these characteristics, there will basically be no problems. If there are still problems, it means that you didn’t buy enough. Buy more next time.

As for whether there is an IQ tax here, with Wei Yang's wealth, it doesn't matter if he spends a little money in vain.

By taking the trouble to identify the lower price, he has earned his money back dozens of times.

To put it even more bluntly, Wei Yang just wanted to buy the added value. It didn't matter whether the thing was useful or not. The key was to please the person and spend money to buy peace of mind.

Although Wei Yang understood this principle before, he was still a little uncomfortable with it due to habit.

But when he became really rich and money was just a number to him, he could use these ideas skillfully without realizing it.

This time when I came back from Thailand, of course I had to bring gifts, one for each of my close relatives.

Boss Wei has always been generous, especially to his women, who are not easy to deal with. They can't afford ordinary expenses, so how can gifts serve their purpose?

So, even though Tang Yan just took a few small boxes casually, the total amount was enough for the assistant's breakfast money for one or two years, and it made the latter very happy.

"Okay, stop being silly and drive slowly."

Tang Yan sent the assistant away with a smile in her eyes, put the breakfast away, returned to the bedroom, and then fell backwards in anger.

"You guys are so energetic so early in the morning."

Boss Wei lay flat on his back obediently, looking innocent: "Don't blame me, I didn't move."

Da Mi Mi looked up and pursed her lips: "I'm hungry, let me eat something to whet my appetite."

Tang Yan: “…”

Although she and Da Mimi are very close, many of this woman's outrageous remarks still make Tang Yan reflect sincerely——

Why did I ever think of becoming best friends with such a person?

Half an hour later, the three of them sat in the restaurant to eat breakfast. Perhaps because of the salad dressing, Da Mimi didn't have a good appetite and she played with her phone while eating.

Tang Yan was talking on the phone with her parents. She recently planned to buy a house for her parents, but the old couple was unwilling to move, and the two sides had many arguments about this.

When she called her parents, Tang Yan spoke in Shanghai dialect, her accent sounded a little coquettish and a bit aggressive.

It is said that people in the north speak harshly. For example, the accent in Wei Yang's hometown, Zaoshi, is a bit harsh, and the tone sounds bad, as if they are quarreling.

But when people in Shanghai speak fast, their tone becomes anxious, with a sense of questioning. When several people speak together, it also sounds like they are quarreling.

It’s just that the “quarrel” in Shanghai, although fierce, did not have a strong smell of gunpowder. On the other hand, in Zao City, it seemed as if a fight was about to break out, and it was fierce and vicious.

Wei Yang had spent decades in the Magic City in his two lifetimes, so he could understand and speak some of what the Magic City said.

Maybe because he was born in the north, Wei Yang had some filters for Shanghai dialect at first. Although his filter was later destroyed by some locals, he was still more receptive to pretty girls speaking it, thinking it was cute, fashionable, sticky and sweet.

For example, Tang Yan, her appearance is not as cute as Xiao Zhao, and her voice is as coquettish as Da Mimi's baby voice.

But the only thing is that the Shanghai girl or even the little bit of pampering in her southern girl is very interesting at times.

This is also something that northern girls like Liu Shishi and Da Mimi find difficult to do.

Wei Yang is a person who is very good at discovering and appreciating the strengths of others as long as he likes them.

What impressed him at first was Tang Yan's understanding and obedience. Later, as time went by, he slowly noticed some of her other advantages, such as the delicacy of a Shanghai girl, her sweet and salty personality, her slender and straight legs, her unlimited tolerance for him, her intelligence and so on.

So, don’t think that Tang Yan is relatively “mediocre” among the women.

She can neither compete with the friendship between Liu and Zhao, nor work as hard as Fan Xiaopang and Da Mimi to build her career. Even compared with the two beauties of Xinjiang Province, she has disadvantages in age and resume.

But based on the above advantages, especially the latter ones, they still have a place in Boss Wei's heart, even quite close.

To be unlucky, if Wei Yang gets into trouble someday, the people he trusts the most and feels he can trust, apart from Liu Zhao, then Tang Yan, the others will be ranked lower in terms of trustworthiness.

Every time Wei Yang returns to the Magic City, Tang Yan’s place is also an important stronghold, which explains everything.

Of course, the fact that Da Mimi often lives here is also an important factor in attracting someone...

Perhaps because the conversation was not going well, Tang Yan's tone became increasingly impatient, causing Wei Yang to shake his head.

He actually really liked listening to Tang Yan speak Shanghai dialect, but she had to speak it slowly and in a coquettish voice, as if she was acting coquettish. But as soon as she got anxious, the charm was gone.

"Give me."

Wei Yang patted Tang Yan's hand and took the phone from her in the latter's surprised eyes.

"Hello, Auntie, it's me, Wei Yang."

"Yes, yes, it was actually Tangtang and I who discussed the change of house. This is how it was originally going to be. The developer and I are friends, and I helped him out. The developer owes me a favor, so they should sell the house to me at cost price. Don't let it go."

"I am restricted from purchasing, so it is not convenient to keep it under Tangtang's name. I will borrow your names. Yes, it is equivalent to you two elders keeping it for Tangtang."

"Hey, why are you being so polite to me? Okay, I'll come to see you when I have time, okay, okay."

“…”

Wei Yang hung up the phone and handed the phone to Tang Yan, his face relaxed: "Done, let's eat."

"Is that it?"

Tang Yan was completely confused: "I have been arguing with my parents for several months and we have had several arguments, but you just made a phone call and it was resolved in just a few minutes."

"How did you convince uncle and aunt?"

Da Mimi no longer plays with her cell phone. She knows about this and even helped Tang Yan to lobby for her before, but it didn’t work.

The old couple's attitude was very firm, mainly because they were used to living in the house and felt there was no need to move. They wanted Tang Yan to save more money and not waste it.

"Because our status is different."

Wei Yang is worldly-wise and can still grasp some pulses. The older generation of parents attaches the most importance to the words of authority. The more successful a person is, the more weight his words carry in front of them.

Although Tang Yan is not bad, she is a biological daughter after all. She is naturally shorter and is still a "child who has not grown up" in the eyes of her parents.

If a child expresses an opinion that goes against their inner thoughts, it will certainly not be recognized.

But Wei Yang is different. He is also a well-known figure in the Magic City. Even though he is a junior, the old couple will not ignore him.

"Also, if I use the excuse that my friend gave me the discount, my uncles and aunts will feel that they are getting a bargain, and their resistance will be greatly reduced."

After Wei Yang explained it, Tang Yan and the others finally understood, but there was another reason he didn't tell them.

That is the relationship between him and Tang Yan. It is no secret to Tang's parents, so his intervention in this house has a different meaning. And by using Tang Yan's name, Tang's parents can't say anything for fear of affecting their daughter.

"Is there enough money?"

Da Mimi was still here, and Wei Yang didn’t talk much about it, he just asked a question.

Before Tang Yan could say anything, Da Mi Mi rolled her eyes and said, "Boss, we are not as rich as you, but you are underestimating the income of a top actress."

Although Tang Yan was overtaken by Xiao Zhao in 2014, she was actually at the peak of her career.

Works such as "Joy of Life 3", "Fall in Love with You", and the "Tiny Times" series have brought Tang Yan to a new level this year.

It is already December, and the revenue for this year has almost been counted.

Tang Yan's personal income for the whole year is as high as 49 million, which ranks among the top in the entire entertainment industry.

As for Da Mimi, her income is even more exaggerated. With an income of 65 million, she almost made it into the top ten of the Forbes celebrity income list.

Those who can rank ahead of her are all industry top stars such as King Liu, Zhang Ziyi, Jacky Cheung, Jay Chou, Fan Xiaopang and Liu Feiren.

It is also worth mentioning that Wei Yang was completely kicked out of the star list this year.

The main reason is that the data is too exaggerated. If one person is as big as everyone else on the entire list, it would be a bit bullying to rank further down, so they can only move to the rich list to compete.

As time goes by, Wei Yang's ranking on the Forbes Rich List has moved up a lot.

This year, Blue Whale has been a huge success, with numerous hit works and a large number of celebrity artists becoming famous. It has become a giant in the entertainment industry and its market value has soared.

In addition, the Red Shark company under his name has also begun to make efforts, and several companies involved in the investment have also emerged.

More importantly, PPTV, one of the most popular Internet websites this year, also belongs to Wei Yang. This industry alone has increased his wealth by tens of billions.

According to the latest Forbes mainland rich list, Wei Yang ranks 40th with a net worth of 18.5 billion yuan.

Moreover, Wei Yang is one of the youngest billionaires in the world and is called the "most profitable star" by many media in the United States and Asia.

Among them, PPTV has a huge added value. On the one hand, it is the wave of the Internet, and on the other hand, its advantages are highly consistent with those of Blue Whale.

Under the leadership of Boss Wei, the two parties joined forces and played a role that was more than just one plus one equals two. It directly brought great benefits to both parties.

Compared with Wei Yang, Tang Yan's money was not enough, but it was still easy to buy a new house for her parents.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want. Tell me if you have anything to say."

Wei Yang also took the responsibility and said that I would pay for a house. Later, Wei Yang simply arranged some resources for Tang Yan and she made the money back easily.

Even though he almost never gave these women cash, he was never vague about giving them cars, houses, and shopping stuff. The most important thing was the resources he gave them, which could not be bought with any amount of money.

Tang Yan can earn 49 million a year, at least 29 million of which is due to Wei Yang, and the rest is also due to his foundation.

"Hey, Xiang Tai from Hong Kong scolded you."

After finishing the meal, Tang Yan pulled Da Mimi to clean up. Wei Yang went to take a shower. When he came out, he saw Da Mimi coming towards him with a cell phone in her hand, looking excited.

Wei Yang took it and glanced at it for a few seconds. He didn't mention anyone by name, but his meaning was very clear, with all kinds of weirdness in it.

But the criticism was quite accurate. In addition to criticizing Stephen Chow for being of the same ilk, it was mainly aimed at Boss Wei's weak style issues, such as having multiple relationships at the same time, falling in love with every woman he meets, playing with women, and making vulgar comments, etc.

These words are quite damaging to other stars, but they are nothing new to Wei Yang.

As I said, if you point at a pile of ruins and curse at a broken house, it really has no offensive power.

Boss Wei was too lazy to read the comments. Either the haters agreed with him or the netizens made fun of him.

Even judging from Da Mimi's reaction, it was estimated that the impact was not significant, otherwise this woman would have been unable to sit still and rushed into the bathroom to ask him for advice.

So, Wei Yang just raised his eyelids slightly and said: "Are you so happy when I get scolded?"

"Who said that?"

Da Mimi said righteously: "I am excited. Tell me how to curse back. I will be the pioneer."

"What's all the fuss about?"

Wei Yang asked Tang Yan to bring his phone over, @ed Xiang Tai, and posted a Weibo.

[No nonsense, I admit that I am a scumbag, do you admit it, Sun Yee On? ]

A key factor in a verbal battle is that you cannot follow the other person's rhythm. If he calls you a scumbag, you will be passive if you try to explain.

So don't pay attention to these, just pinch the opponent's weak spot. If the scumbag Wei Yang dares to admit it, will the Xiang family dare to admit that they have a black background? But if they don't dare to admit it, the facts are in the open. Zuo Guyan and Qiangxing are just clowns.

A fatal blow! (End of this chapter)
