Protagonist:

Shen Yao

The cold wind was biting at home domestically, while abroad a warm breeze gently brushed.

Shen Yao appeared by the sea, under a sky of blue and white clouds, wearing a cotton long dress, her eyes gently closed as she enjoyed this rare leisure time.

Footsteps sounded beside her ear; it was Jiang Han Zhou, this man wearing casual clothes, holding magazines just bought from the street in his hands.

Handing them casually to Shen Yao, Jiang Han Zhou said there would be a very grand fireworks show on the beach tonight; since they were both out playing, they might as well wait until evening to watch and then return to the hotel together.

Having been out for some time, Shen Yao put aside all domestic matters, and the whole person suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Although Jiang Han Zhou still needed to be busy, compared to domestically it had decreased a lot; just like today coming out to play, this person rarely looked at his phone to reply to messages.

"Magazine? What's on it?" Jiang Han Zhou wouldn't hand Shen Yao useless things for no reason; Shen Yao curiously flipped through the contents inside and found it was a magazine about fashion.

Mm

How to put it?

Although these clothes were indeed nice, they were very unsuitable for modern dressing; or rather, except for specific occasions, they could only be neatly put away into the wardrobe.

"This is the direction I'm about to enter," Jiang Han Zhou rubbed his palm, indicating that the entertainment industry was inseparable from part of the resources of the fashion circle; previously he had no clue in this aspect, but as funds accumulated more and more, although the fashion circle was somewhat like a hanging lighthouse, it indeed had great attraction for people in the entertainment industry.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao tilted her head to size up Jiang Han Zhou, thinking this person really couldn't stay idle.

The difficulty of entering the fashion circle was no less than a newcomer just starting out wanting to make a name in the entertainment industry; this circle was even more complex than the entertainment industry.

Jiang Han Zhou raised his eyebrows, thinking the more complex the fashion circle, the more money could be made.

Did they really think some people truly had fashion ability? It was all just piled up by connections and background.

Jiang Han Zhou's connections and background weren't bad either, therefore regarding this big cake of the fashion circle, he planned to actively try it.

The two discussed the fashion content in the magazine; most of it was Shen Yao speaking, Jiang Han Zhou acting as a listener, occasionally Jiang Han Zhou would add a sentence or two of his own views; almost in a way ordinary people couldn't understand, the two people hashed out a prototype.

Although what was shown was still immature, if the subsequent execution was good, relying on such a huge capital of the entertainment industry, making money would be easy as pie.

"No wonder people in the entertainment industry all want to enter the fashion circle; turns out this circle makes more money."

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao felt the system's words were a bit off; people in the entertainment industry entering the fashion circle indeed wanted to make money, but more so they used it as a springboard to seek greater fame, profit, and prestige for themselves.

After all, luxury brands in the fashion circle really made money; Shen Yao boasted she had some aesthetic sense, but she still felt unable to appreciate those brands that could sell for astronomical prices casually.

Maybe this was a difference in thinking? Anyway, Shen Yao thought well of it, but letting herself dive in just to make money—she'd rather give up.

The two stayed by the seaside for a while, and only when the sky gradually darkened did they slowly get up to head to an outdoor restaurant not far around to have a meal.

The per-person consumption here was relatively high, and the taste was indeed among the most famous few.

Shen Yao listened to the melodious violin music while eating the dessert at hand, occasionally turning her head to look at the splashes of water raised by the waves not far away.

The environment here was still too comfortable, especially this place was very suitable for domestic people to travel.

Before Shen Yao and Jiang Han Zhou had decided on a place, they had consulted Shen Qingshan and Yu Shuhua couple; as people who were often not at home and always playing outside, they both knew where to go play effortlessly.

Finally considering distance and environmental factors, Shen Yao and Jiang Han Zhou came here.

Every day sleeping until naturally waking at the hotel, then getting up to go out and wander around; here not many people could recognize the two of them, and those who could come were all well-off; rather than paying attention to others, better to pay attention to oneself.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two left the outdoor restaurant and got up to head to the seaside.

Compared to the liveliness of daytime, the seaside at night had a bit more coolness.

Shen Yao and Jiang Han Zhou strolled on the seaside; in the distance a crowd surrounded a circle, and in less than half an hour, a grand fireworks show would appear here.

Jiang Han Zhou put down the phone in his hand, smiling and telling Shen Yao beside him a piece of news that was within their expectations: "Director Zhou You just announced he will cooperate with Chunfeng Company, filming a trilogy of ancient myth story systems."

A trilogy?

Meaning filming three movies, right?

Did Director Zhou You have to not give them face like that? Originally cooperating on two movies, said destroyed and destroyed; now cooperating with other companies, said open and come.

Tsk tsk tsk

Shen Yao wasn't very optimistic about Director Zhou You cooperating with Chunfeng Company on this ancient myth system film this time; this required special effects production; if the special effects team found wasn't good, no need to think to know this movie would flop.

"Chunfeng Company; this company is mainly responsible for investment, right? How would they choose to cooperate with Director Zhou You?"

Shen Yao felt she had overlooked a problem: was Chunfeng Company reliable?

Jiang Han Zhou couldn't help but laugh: "In the circle making money, who doesn't want to scoop a hand?"

Chunfeng Company was indeed the main investing company; the internal situation was quite mixed, and it also responsible for some not-so-clean projects, already fined by the official several times.

As for why cooperating with Director Zhou You, it shouldn't just be Chunfeng Company's problem; behind there were other companies, but all chose to hide behind Chunfeng Company, letting Chunfeng Company come out to attract firepower.

"This subject matter isn't easy to film; Zhou You agreeing, eighty percent is because the other side offered an astronomical base salary and dividends."

Raising his hand to hold Shen Yao's wrist, Jiang Han Zhou didn't chat idly about Zhou You's matters; the two tacitly stopped speaking, but instead stepped toward the viewing point not far away.

The viewing point was a beach; the sand above was fine and soft, stepping on it very comfortable.

Shen Yao and Jiang Han Zhou stood firm at the beach; shortly after, suddenly beautiful and gorgeous fireworks appeared in the sky in front.

Boom—

With one firework after another exploding ahead, the firework patterns in the sky began to change.

A breeze brushed past; Shen Yao could still smell a faint sulfur scent in the air.

This fireworks show lasted about half an hour or so; afterward the final scene of heavenly maidens scattering flowers ended, and the people staying around gradually dispersed.

Shen Yao and Jiang Han Zhou followed the crowd back to the hotel, washed off the dirt on their bodies, and lay on the soft bed, falling into a deep sleep.

Life abroad was carefree and at ease; Shen Yao didn't need to think about anything, just needed to relax her mind and spend every day.

It wasn't until domestic temperatures warmed up and the holiday ended that the two had no choice but to fly back to the country from abroad.

Upon exiting the domestic airport, the two were unexpectedly surrounded by media reporters.

Shen Yao:...

"Sorry, we just got back to the country and don't know about these matters," Jiang Han Zhou blocked in front of Shen Yao and replied with a smile, then ignored the reporters' persistent questioning and simply pulled Shen Yao forward with his head down.

The car waiting outside the airport was not far; only after the two got in smoothly did they have a chance to speak.

"Isn't Zhou You cooperating with Chunfeng Company? How could a double cooperation still happen?"

Shen Yao pinched her palm, ignoring the system laughing hahaha in her mind, and turned her head to look at Jiang Han Zhou resting with his eyes closed.

"He must have been set up by someone," but those who could set up Zhou You are definitely people close to him; otherwise, who could sign a cooperation in Zhou You's name without fearing he wouldn't agree to fulfill it?

'Hahahaha, exactly, he was set up, and by his little spoiled wife at that.'

The system's schadenfreude was too obvious; it couldn't help laughing since the airport siege, and now sitting in the car it was still grinning; Shen Yao was helpless.

"Two contracts, both still legally valid," Shen Yao raised an eyebrow, thinking Director Zhou You shouldn't bother trying to posture, but rather figure out how to recover the lost reputation.

"Recover? How to recover? You're deliberately slapping my face!"

At Zhou You's home in Jing Shi, Zhou You was currently opening his mouth to complain to his little spoiled wife.

Who let himself be bewitched? He finally married a wife half his age younger; daily life would be hard not to spoil her.

This time was also because he was willing to spoil her; discovering it afterward, he was even more willing to clean up the mess, so he could only pinch his nose and accept this agreement signed by his wife on his behalf.

"Lao Zhou, why get angry? The other company offered a higher price than Chunfeng Company; we finally gained some fame in the circle; if we don't seize the time to make money, what about the child in the future?"

The little spoiled wife had just given birth to a son for Zhou You not long ago; she was currently in a fearless phase, completely unafraid of Zhou You getting angry or throwing a tantrum, and even righteously explained that doing so was for the family.

Moreover, cooperation is for making money; otherwise, why would Zhou You unilaterally tear up the two cooperation films with Jiang Han Zhou? She had long figured out Zhou You's thoughts; borrowing her courage, she wouldn't dare do this otherwise.

Zhou You:...

Zhou You raised his hand and pointed at her unconcerned self, currently drawing eyebrows and applying makeup in front of the dressing mirror, and in the end could only let out a helpless sigh.

Things having come to this, all he could do was abide by the agreement and film the movie.

"Put all that money away and save it well; don't mess around investing with other people," Zhou You lowered his voice to remind his little spoiled wife two sentences, then turned and left.

Seeing Zhou You leave, the little spoiled wife let out a light hum, not taking it to heart at all; after all, what she married him for was nothing but money; otherwise, with such an age gap, who would believe it was true love?

She didn't care what Zhou You said; the little spoiled wife now had her makeup done, then picked up her newly bought Xiang Grandmother Bag, turned around, and made plans to hang out with her girlfriends.

You should know that the agreement she signed would also give her some extra benefit fees from the other party.

Although selling out her own man like this was a bit immoral, the little spoiled wife didn't care; she now had a sum of money in hand making things loose, so she had no mind to entangle herself in other matters.

On the other side, Jiang Han Zhou and Shen Yao had already returned to the company.

Everyone in the company knew the two bosses were returning today; they had long since placed the ordered fresh flowers at the doorway to welcome them.

As soon as Shen Yao entered, she smelled the fragrant scent assaulting her nose, and hurriedly smiled and waved her hand.

Several assistants were not as leisurely as the bosses; busy from the film's release to its end of screening, even now they were still staying at the company working overtime.

Fortunately the bosses were generous; never stingy with bonuses and salaries; otherwise the several assistants would have long prepared to jump ship.

"Shen Zong"

"Is this the project plan for this period?"

The assistant hummed in acknowledgment and nodded; inside were several films already shot, the rest waiting for project approval notification; because the bosses weren't there, they didn't dare decide on their own.

Shen Yao opened the file and browsed through it once, picking out the still decent ones; "Approve projects as soon as possible; if there are suitable candidates, finalize them," the company cannot operate without projects; even during that New Year period, there would still be decent projects filming at the Film and Television Base.

"Yes"

The assistant left holding the files, turned head and called the people below to notify them.

The entire company began operating efficiently once again with the return of the two bosses.

Shen Yao couldn't help but start flipping open her already dust-gathering novel homepage, slowly typing out new novel content.

At this time, Shen Yao suddenly thought of the several small-to-medium film and TV dramas Hongshi Network had invested in previously; a search online revealed they had all fallen silent without a trace, with no follow-up reports appearing.

Shen Yao:...

Uh

Perhaps there are some things I don't know inside? Hongshi Network's previous investment scale wasn't large; Shen Yao had slight speculation when she was in the crew back then.

Didn't expect even this little investment scale could lose everything; Hongshi Network might really have been set up by someone.

"Author Shen, I wonder if your company has any good projects recently?"

Hongshi Network's Leader proactively contacted Shen Yao; the attitude's sincerity and humility clearly exceeded the normal range.

Shen Yao realized, and said with a smile several projects, mostly modern dramas, because Jiang Han Zhou intended to make a big profit in the fashion circle; if matching projects could be arranged, it would inevitably be a win-win situation.

Hongshi Network's Leader embarrassedly stated they also had film and TV projects landing, just that doing it purely on their own was somewhat inappropriate; cooperation between both sides would be best.

"Of course, Hongshi Network has numerous novel IPs; Author Shen is also one of them, certainly understands the situation," this Leader hinted that if both sides cooperated, they would prioritize supplying novel IPs for her to choose freely.

Shen Yao indeed understood Hongshi Network's situation, including the big contract Hongshi Network gave previously, so that Shen Yao had income coming in even doing nothing.

Now Hongshi Network proactively proposed cooperation; hmm, actually as long as the other party doesn't act up, relying on so many, so thick novel IP advantages, cooperation is no problem.

Smilingly agreed, but Shen Yao mentioned investment projects need evaluation and screening; Hongshi Network can send the projects they value to her side first; as long as no problems, both sides jointly fund, also counts as a kind of risk sharing.

That's right!

This is exactly what Hongshi Network's Leader meant!

Previously one careless move directly plunging in was truly a particularly stupid plan.

At least Hongshi Network lost roughly eight to nine figures front and back.

Although their investments were all small-to-medium projects, they couldn't withstand the number of projects; not a single one succeeded; in the end they were in a state of losing money if filmed, losing money if not filmed; therefore they were scolded painfully by the leaders above more than once.

Now with Shen Yao's side helping share and control, at least no need to worry about continuing to lose; as long as they earn less or barely break even, it counts as a newcomer just entering the thatched cottage succeeding!
