Chapter 68: Holiday

Just as before, when she hadn't met Lao Wang, Meng Bai had no ability to take revenge on Zhou Xing, so she chose to endure.

Now that she had met Lao Wang and gained the ability, naturally she would strike boldly.

【Completely awake now.】

【Hope the Meng Family and Zhou Xing can withstand her revenge.】

Shen Mo stated that he still stood on the side of justice.

After thinking it over, Liu Yue allowed Meng Bai to invest, but the shares were not many—only ten percent.

But she allowed Meng Bai to invest a portion in Yue Mo Media.

Afterward, Shen Mo asked Liu Yue, why?

Liu Yue smiled mysteriously: "More friends, more paths."

"The day Zhou Xing goes bankrupt will surely be when Meng Bai rises."

"The traffic a top-tier star brings is still enormous."

The entertainment circle allows fading out, but it also allows a comeback.

Liu Yue had seen a middle-aged male actor under San Sheng Entertainment make a comeback.

That was truly one moment of bad luck plunging to the bottom, the next moment of comeback soaring to the nine heavens.

After his comeback, within a year he took on four or five films, and all of them exploded in popularity.

San Sheng Entertainment alone earned over a hundred million in profit-sharing from him.

Not to mention the gains from his free cameos for Ms. Wenya, as a way to repay her for taking him in.

Liu Yue's words seemed like a prophecy.

Not long after, Meng Bai made peace with the Meng Family, gave the Meng Family the five hundred million Lao Wang had promised them, but took away a very large portion of the Meng Family's shares.

At the same time, Meng Bai officially entered the Meng Family's household register.

Half a year later, Zhou Xing married Meng Bai's half-sister Meng Ying, and the Meng Family became deeply bound with Zhou Xing.

A large amount of the Meng Family's assets were transferred to Zhou Xing.

One year later, Zhou Xing's Xingying Entertainment prepared to go public.

At the critical moment, a massive amount of Zhou Xing's scandals suddenly exploded online.

The TV dramas, films, and variety shows Xingying Entertainment was producing were all pressed to pause.

Before Zhou Xing and the Meng Family could even react, Meng Bai personally stepped forward and produced even more evidence of crimes.

One item included the matter of Meng Ying and Zhou Xing joining forces to send Meng Bai's adoptive parents to prison.

While Meng Bai was fiercely tearing into Meng Ying and Zhou Xing, Meng Bai's adoptive parents Meng Dahu and Bai Ying drove their car and killed Zhou Xing, Meng Ying, and also Meng Bai's biological parents.

It turned out Meng Dahu, Bai Ying, and Meng Ying had long since recognized each other, and had secretly used Meng Bai's money to subsidize Meng Ying.

After being released from prison, the two, in order not to upset Meng Ying, never went to disturb Meng Ying's life.

Although the two were beasts to Meng Bai, they were truly good to their biological daughter Meng Ying.

They only hoped Meng Ying would support them in their old age and see them off at the end.

Not long after the tearing began, Meng Dahu and Bai Ying were both diagnosed with terminal illnesses—one with uremia requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant, the other having just suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, leaving the whole person dulled.

In any case, they all got their comeuppance.

Meng Ying refused to acknowledge them.

So upon seeing the evidence Meng Bai produced of Meng Ying and Zhou Xing joining forces to send the two to prison, Meng Dahu and Bai Ying went mad.

If we're going to die, then let's all die together.

Love too has its limits under crisis.

After the incident, Meng Bai could only, with tears in her eyes, take the household register and inherit Xingying Entertainment and the Meng Family.

The people at Xingying Entertainment who had previously stepped on Meng Bai to climb up were all dumbfounded.

After tidying things up, Meng Bai sold Xingying Entertainment's quality resources to Yue Mo Media at a low price, and tossed everything else aside.

As for those who had stepped on Meng Bai to climb up, Meng Bai didn't target them—she just held their contracts and ignored them.

If they go out to take jobs, they have to split the money with Meng Bai.

If they don't go out to take jobs, then they can just wait to die—at the entertainment circle's pace, once the contracts expire, they'll definitely come to grief.

Meng Bai won a complete victory.

Lao Wang obtained several good plots of land under the Meng Family's name from Meng Bai, and also made a killing.

Shen Mo's Yue Mo Media, after absorbing the essence of Xingying Entertainment, likewise expanded its reach considerably. Shen Mo admired Liu Yue.

Liu Yue just smiled.

But all of this was a year later.

Right now, Shen Mo was still busy with the matters of Baiyin Game Company.

The share contract transfer was very fast, and the money arrived in the account very quickly.

Shen Mo was curious where Meng Bai's money came from—was it all earned from her acting?

After signing the contract, Shen Mo learned from Liu Yue that Meng Bai had gone abroad for five years after breaking up with Zhou Xing.

During those five years, Meng Bai had established several companies in the country through agents, and they were all doing quite well now.

This was also the reason Liu Yue allowed Meng Bai to invest.

She liked cooperating with people who were ambitious, smart, and clear-headed.

Moreover, Meng Bai had already locked away her heart and love, and would not let matters between men and women affect her speed of making money in the future.

That was very good.

After receiving Meng Bai's capital injection, Baiyin Game Company's cash flow became even more enormous.

Liu Yue had Meng Bai withdraw the initial five million.

After withdrawing it, he looked at the normally operating Baiyin Game Company and said calmly, "See that?"

"From now on, everything Baiyin Game Company earns can be counted as pure profit, because the money you originally invested has already been taken back."

Shen Mo nodded. He saw it, he understood—this situation really felt amazing.

Liu Yue continued, "And although Baiyin Game Company has my shares, it still has to pay rent to the building under my name. Do you understand what that means?"

After a moment's thought, Shen Mo stammered, "I understand—money in our family is just shifting from the left hand to the right hand."

Liu Yue nodded. Exactly.

This is why large enterprises must work hard to connect upstream and downstream relationships and invest actively.

Because it really can save a large portion of costs.

Especially for an investor like Liu Yue.

Shen Mo seemed to understand something.

Baiyin Game Company continued to operate. Apart from the finance department, no one knew that the boss, Shen Mo, had withdrawn a sum of money and left.

Day after day passed, and Shen Mo didn't encounter any earth-shattering scandals.

Under the leadership of the game designed by Xiao Zhi, Baiyin Game Company's income never stopped from beginning to end.

That dress-up cloud-raising game seemed very simple to design at first, but the further along it went, the harder it became.

Xiao Zhi looked at his high monthly salary and inexplicably felt he was letting Shen Mo down. So besides developing the dress-up cloud-raising game, he spent time researching several single-player mini-games and submitted them to a certain Tencent-developed small and medium game platform, creating additional revenue streams for the company.

Cost-cutting was impossible—no employee wanted to save money at their own expense.

So generating additional revenue became the choice of many employees.

Especially with Xiao Zhi's successful example leading the way.

With this mindset where employees didn't want the company to fail and everyone worked hard together, at year's end, even though Baiyin Game Company was burning cash developing the dress-up cloud-raising game, it still gave everyone three times their bonus, and Shen Mo took away tens of millions in dividends.

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Mo gave the employees a holiday, all the way until the seventeenth day after the New Year.

This holiday was a bit outrageous.

But Shen Mo was happy, because he also wanted a holiday.

This year, Liu Yue truly pressed Shen Mo to study all kinds of knowledge, and every day was very fulfilling.

Before leaving, Shen Mo returned to the Shen Family for a meal, and also met Zhou Xiaocao, who had come to visit her daughter.

Shen Mo learned that Zhou Xiaocao had opened a housekeeping company, and was doing quite well.

After all, she had spent time with Wang Chunsheng and also studied with Shen Jiafeng for a period, so she had some capital.

Afterwards, Shen Mo and Liu Yue boarded a plane back to the Northeast.

However, Shen Mo felt that the person who had the most carefree New Year was Liu Xinhua.

He didn't know how this guy had managed it, but he actually got Liu Qingqing's mother and Li Qingyue to agree to accompany him together, letting him enjoy the blessing of having multiple wives.
