Chapter 154: Chapter 154 Nobody Has This Vision Anymore
“No need to worry,” Chen Guanglei shook his head, “If it were just a small portion of the guilds and anchors doing this, your concern would be valid. But if most are doing it, there’s nothing to worry about. The law does not punish the masses; that’s the principle.”
Zhao Yulu didn’t say anything.
What Chen Guanglei said seemed to make some sense and yet not.
To her knowledge, the anchors from Xu Yang’s Fengcai Guild never sold fake goods; they had always marketed products of solid quality and good reputation.
“Anyway, you don’t need to worry about this anymore. Let’s not talk about it,” Chen Guanglei waved his hand, changing the subject with a mysterious tone, “I came here this time because there’s something else. Next week, I’m taking you to attend a big shot’s birthday party.”
“Who’s the big shot?” Zhao Yulu couldn’t help but ask, seeing the mysterious look on Chen Guanglei’s face.
“Wang Xiaocong,” Chen Guanglei said proudly.
“What, Wang Xiaocong!” Zhao Yulu was shocked, “You know Wang Xiaocong? And you’re going to his birthday party?”
Asking these two questions, she realized how redundant they were.
Given Chen Guanglei’s personality, so fond of showing off, if he knew Wang Xiaocong, he would have bragged about it to her long ago.
Obviously, Chen Guanglei didn’t know Wang Xiaocong. More than likely, he would attend Wang Xiaocong’s birthday party through a friend’s introduction.
Sure enough, Chen Guanglei’s next words confirmed her guess.
“I don’t know Wang Xiaocong; he’s a big shot, out of my league. But a friend of mine does.”
“Wang Xiaocong’s birthday is next weekend, and he’s chosen to hold the party in Jiangcheng.”
“My friend said he would take me and introduce me to Wang Xiaocong. This will be an excellent opportunity to mingle with top-tier second-generation rich kids like him.”
“Yu Lu, I’ve also asked my friend about it. There will be a lot of top heiresses from Jiangcheng attending Wang Xiaocong’s birthday party. If you can make a few heiress friends there and enter their circle, your future life will be different.”
“These days, I will help you gather information about the hobbies and personalities of those heiresses, so once you know, you can blend into their circle better.”
Attending Wang Xiaocong’s birthday party was an opportunity for Chen Guanglei.
Becoming friends with Wang Xiaocong, just the thought was thrilling.
“Thank you,” Zhao Yulu said gratefully.
She had always hoped for a chance to break into the circle of Jiangcheng’s top heiresses.
With that kind of network, making money would be much easier.
A single message from one of them might even turn her into a multimillionaire.
Zhao Yulu was genuinely thankful to Chen Guanglei for taking her to Wang Xiaocong’s birthday party.
“Yu Lu, look, even though Xu Yang seems to be doing well recently, it’s still impossible for him to enter such circles, but we have this opportunity,” Chen Guanglei didn’t forget to put Xu Yang down again.
“That’s true,” Zhao Yulu nodded.
On this point, she quite agreed with what Chen Guanglei said.
Xu Yang might have achieved some success, but without a solid foundation or connections, it would be absolutely impossible for him to enter such circles or attend Wang Xiaocong’s birthday party.
“Yu Lu, let’s have dinner together tonight. A new blockbuster from Prettier Nation is showing, and it’s got high ratings. After dinner, let’s go watch a movie,” Chen Guanglei seized the opportunity to invite her.
“Okay,” Zhao Yulu hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Chen Guanglei had just mentioned taking her to Wang Xiaocong’s birthday party and promised to collect information on the top heiresses’ preferences to help her fit in with Jiangcheng’s elite circles.
It would be somewhat inappropriate to refuse Chen Guanglei at this moment.
…
That day.
Xu Yang received another phone call from Xu Zhen.
“Mr. Xu, I’ve contacted the actors from the list you provided and invited them to audition,” Xu Zhen said.
“I have to say, your insight is excellent.”
“The actors match their roles very well, and their acting skills are impressive. I’ve already assigned them their respective roles.”
Xu Zhen had set up the crew and started contacting the actors from the list Xu Yang had provided, inviting them to audition.
Originally, he wasn’t taking it seriously, thinking that all these actors were Xu Yang’s personal connections.
He was planning to just go through the motions, dismiss these people, and then look for actors according to his own ideas.
But you never know until you try; he was shocked when he did.
The actors’ fit for their roles was too high, and their acting was very good.
Surprised, he discovered another issue: none of these actors even knew who Xu Yang was; they had never even heard of him, so they clearly weren’t Xu Yang’s relations.
What did this mean? It meant that Xu Yang had selected these people from the vast sea of actors.
And he had even sorted out the roles for these people.
This insight was unmatched.
He had no idea how Xu Yang had managed it.
With such sharp discernment, it’s no wonder he could invest in “War Leopard” and make a fortune.
“As long as you think they’re suitable, that’s great,” Xu Yang said with a smile.
The two discussed some other issues before ending the call.
…
Two days later, just past ten in the morning.
KaiXuan Investments.
Chen Guanglei arrived at his father Chen Ankang’s office, plopped down on the sofa, and let out a yawn.
“Dad, what’s up?”
He had been at the club the night before, looking for models.
He partied pretty hard and stayed out late, and hadn’t fully woken up when his dad’s call woke him.
His dad had told him to come to the office as he had something to discuss with him.
So he had to push away the model in his arms, get up, freshen up, leave the club, and come to the office.
Still looking half asleep.
Chen Ankang frowned upon seeing his son’s state, ready to scold him.
Just then, Chen Guanglei’s phone rang.
“Dad, I need to take this call,” Chen Guanglei said, pulling out his phone, and answering, “Yu Lu, what’s up?”
Zhao Yulu said, “Chen Guanglei, Fengcai Guild and Hua’an Film and Television have collaborated!”
“What!” Chen Guanglei exclaimed, “How is that possible? How could Hua’an Film and Television collaborate with Fengcai Guild? Are you sure you didn’t get it wrong?”
Hua’an Film and Television and Fengcai Guild had clashed so fiercely last time; Hua’an Film and Television undoubtedly suffered heavy losses, and they definitely had a feud. How could they possibly collaborate with Fengcai Guild?
Zhao Yulu said, “No mistake, both Fengcai Guild and Hua’an Film and Television have posted announcements, and several of Hua’an Film and Television’s top stars have already appeared in livestreams of some of Fengcai Guild’s top broadcasters.”
Chen Guanglei was baffled, “How could this be? Didn’t Xu Yang completely offend Hua’an Film and Television? Are they just letting it go? I don’t see Xue Zhanhua as someone who would just drop an issue like this.”
Zhao Yulu answered, “I don’t know.”
Chen Guanglei speculated, “It must be because Xu Yang made a huge compromise, offering enough profits for Hua’an Film and Television to satisfy Xue Zhanhua, which is why he agreed to the collaboration.”
Zhao Yulu said, “I don’t think it’s like you say.”
Chen Guanglei asked, “Why not?”
Zhao Yulu explained, “If Hua’an Film and Television were after high profits, they wouldn’t seek a collaboration with Fengcai Guild, because Fengcai Guild only sells those products, and the profit margins on those items are not high, much lower than the products our guilds sell. If Hua’an Film and Television simply wanted to make money, why wouldn’t they partner with our guilds instead of Fengcai Guild?”
Chen Guanglei reasoned, “You make some sense. But what other reasons could there be for both parties to set aside past grievances and collaborate? Forget it, I have things to handle here. I’ll investigate later when I’m free,” he concluded, then hung up the phone.
Then he turned to Chen Ankang, “Dad, what is it, what’s the matter?”
