Chapter 519 - 519 The Invitation of a Top Business
Lifuzhen had made her move.
Starting today, five TV dramas and two movies were launched on various major
TV stations across the country.
All of them were well-produced and had the potential to become hits.
Moreover, the leads for all these films and shows were the sixteen fledgling female artists that Jiang Xu had recently signed.
That day, You Xi came to Jiang Xu to pledge his loyalty and reported a secret regarding Lifuzhen’s underhanded tactics.
This woman was planning to exchange artists for company shares. Then, she would release hit works starring these female artists.
Once the works became popular, the company’s stock price would naturally rise.
When the stock price of Jiang Xu’s entertainment company got to a certain level, sell it off.
Of course, things didn’t end there.
Lifuzhen was ruthless and cunning.
She had all sorts of compromising material on those sixteen female artists.
Including their service to some high society tycoons, as well as their stark naked photos.
When the time was ripe, she would make these photos and videos public. At that time, these female artists had already signed with Jiang Xu’s company. If they got into trouble, Jiang Xu would naturally be implicated.
When that happened, the company’s stock price would plummet, and Lifuzhen could buy the company at a very low price.
Since Lifuzhen had a way to bring the stock price down, she also had a way to drive it back up.
When Jiang Xu signed the contract with Lifuzhen initially, he had already prepared a countermeasure for Lifuzhen’s tricks.
Even if You Xi hadn’t betrayed her later, he could still have coped.
However, the process would have cost a lot of time, energy, and money.
But now there was no need for that.
Since he knew Lifuzhen’s intentions, preparing for her was much easier.
Don’t forget, Jiang Xu still had a great deal of Sangsang’s commercial secrets in his hands.
When the time came, revealing just a small part of those would make Lifuzhen hesitate to expose the female artists’ negative photos and videos.
Simply put, this time too, Lifuzhen was just giving money to Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu glanced over these TV dramas, which would take seven days to half a month to finish airing.
During this period, the company’s stock price would be on the rise. After finishing the matters at hand, An Nuonuo woke up.
“Brother Xu, what do you want to eat today-”
She who had just awoken still had that cute bubble sound in her voice. Listening to her made one want to vigorously rub her hair.
Jiang Xu leaned in close to her and smelled her, saying in surprise, “Baby, your breath doesn’t have any smell at all this morning.”
“Brother Xu, what are you trying to do?” An Nuonuo said, looking warily at
Jiang Xu upon hearing this.
She had Jiang Xu all figured out.
With a single gesture or glance, she could guess what was on Jiang Xu’s mind.
Jiang Xu chuckled mischievously, and then…
In a certain foreign research institute, they conducted a study.
They found that women’s oral cavities are three to four centimeters deeper than men’s.
The distance from lips to throat is about thirteen centimeters, with a volume of about ninety milliliters.
So, this is why women tend to choke more easily when drinking water.
“Cough cough cough…”
An Nuonuo choked and couldn’t stop coughing.
Jiang Xu gently patted her back and said, “I told you to take it slow, nonstop.
“You’re annoying,” An Nuonuo pinched Jiang Xu, “It’s clearly you…”
Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow, “Me what?”
An Nuonuo swallowed back the words that reached her mouth.
She rolled her eyes at Jiang Xu and ran off to wash up.
In the afternoon, Zhou Qingyue arrived.
They say money can nourish a person.
There’s a clear difference in temperament and vitality between someone who’s poor and struggling, running around all day for a few pieces of silver, and someone from a family with abundant wealth.
And indeed, influence can nourish a person too.
Zhou Qingyue now looked very different from half a month ago.
Her complexion was rosy, her presence strong, as if she was surrounded by an aura.
She had become even more charming.
“Nuonuo, look at the gifts I brought you.”
Zhou Qjngyue lifted up the dozen or so bags she was carrying with both hands. Just by looking at the bags, you knew they weren’t cheap.
An Nuonuo smiled sweetly, “Thankyou–
Zhou Qingyue then held out a long, rectangular gift box to Jiang Xu with both hands, “Dear boss, this one’s for you.”
“I don’t need a gift, really.” Although he said that, Jiang Xu still took the gift box.
“This isn’t a gift,” Zhou Qingyue moved her pink lips, “this is for a private party next Saturday hosted by one of the country’s top tycoons.
Just yesterday, I ran into President Ma, who asked me to pass this to you and insisted that you must attend.”
Jiang Xu was surprised, “Which President Ma?” The most famous ‘Ma’ in the country, there are only a couple of them. “Shencheng Ma,” Zhou Qingyue said, “I was there shooting a promotional video for one of their games, and he was there too.
Such a magnate, yet so low-key and easy-going.”
“Not bad, Xiao Zhou,” Jiang Xu gave Zhou Qingyue a second glance, “to be able to speak with such high-level magnates.”
Shencheng Ma was definitely top-tier among the country’s wealthy. “It’s nothing much,” Zhou Qingyue was nonchalant, “My boss is much stronger than him.”
You sure know how to sweeten up to the boss.
Upon opening the gift box, he found an invitation intricately adorned with dragon and phoenix designs, made of pure gold.
There was also a paper underneath the invitation.
It listed which bigwigs would be attending.
Shencheng Ma, Jack Ma, Boss Xu, Boss Zhou, and so on.
All were well-known bigwigs.
Looking at the list, Jiang Xu’s eyes landed on Boss Xu. Boss Xu was currently in his prime, making money at an astonishing rate. Of course, it wasn’t due to his own abilities being exceptional, but rather he had caught a good era.
By this time, Boss Xu must have already established his own music and dance ensemble…
With his thoughts drifting, Jiang Xu told Zhou Qingyue, “Let President Ma know I’ll be there with my fiancee punctually.”
Zhou Qingyue felt a bit miffed internally, but still said, “Then we’ll go together, since I’ve also been invited.”
“Hm?” Jiang Xu looked at her with surprise, “You’ve been invited too?” “Hey, hey, hey, what’s with that look,” Zhou Qingyue was quite unhappy, “What, you look down on me?”
Jiang Xu laughed, “They’re inviting you to sing, to make an appearance, right? Zhou Qingyue’s cheeks turned slightly red.
Jiang Xu had hit the nail on the head.
“So what,” Zhou Qingyue puffed up with indignation, “the point is I’ve been invited.”
An Nuonuo, not wanting to see them argue, stepped in to mediate, “What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll cook.”
Jiang Xu: “She’s too busy, where would she find the time to stay for dinner? Maybe another time.”
Zhou Qingyue’s rebellious streak kicked in, and she quickly retorted, “It’s fine, I have time for dinner.
Just to spite you, I’ll stay. I’ll make you so mad, muahaha.”
