Chapter 718

A few seconds later,

the phone powered on,

but the startup ringtone made both Hu Yifei and Qin Yumo feel it was familiar: "Phelps phone, you deserve to own it!"

"??"

Hu Yifei paused for a moment, turned her head to look at Chen Meijia: "Meijia, did you change your phone?!"

Qin Yumo also curiously leaned over,

Chen Meijia smiled somewhat awkwardly, then said: "No, it's Lu Ziqiao. Before coming to the Imperial Capital, Lu Ziqiao insisted his phone had good signal and he could play games on a plane, so he swapped it with me..."

After speaking,

Chen Meijia suddenly looked at Hu Yifei and Qin Yumo with a sorrowful face: "Yifei, Yumo, am I too stupid? Lu Ziqiao has tricked me so many times..."

"Not bad, at least you know you're stupid."

Hu Yifei shook her head, ignored Chen Meijia no more, and directly picked up her phone to start hailing a ride,

seeing this, Qin Yumo helplessly patted Chen Meijia's head, then said: "It's okay, fools have fools' luck..."

"Yumo, since Meijia has come out, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll take you home in a bit, then book the earliest class to return."

Having booked the car,

Hu Yifei turned her head to look at Qin Yumo and said,

Qin Yumo was somewhat surprised upon hearing this,

Chen Meijia immediately grabbed Hu Yifei's hand, looking extremely reluctant with teary eyes: "Yifei, I've only just come out and you want to leave. Can't you stay and keep me company for a while?"

"No."

Hu Yifei shook her head firmly: "Yumo, in a couple of days take Chen Meijia to find the director for an interview. If you don't get the job, tell me. I'll pay for the plane tickets and you send Chen Meijia back to me! Understand?"

"Understood."

Qin Yumo smiled and nodded,

but Chen Meijia pouted and said: "No, I won't go back. I want to stay in the Imperial Capital. I want to carve out my own world just like Yumo!"

"Give it up!"

Hu Yifei rolled her eyes speechlessly,

seeing the ride-hailing car had arrived, she immediately called the two to get in,

afterwards,

Hu Yifei turned her head to look at Chen Meijia in the back seat and said seriously: "Meijia, if it doesn't work out, just come back to me. If you stay in the Imperial Capital, you'll really starve to death!"

Around 9 in the morning,

as the ride-hailing car of Hu Yifei and others passed the Communication University of China Building,

at room 2906 of the building, the headquarters of Jiaxing Media,

Da Mimi, one of the three major shareholders of Jiaxing Media and also a top-tier superstar in domestic entertainment, looked extremely tired,

staring blankly at Sister Reba beside her, who was both a best friend and a good employee, then let out a long sigh: "Sigh... Sister Reba, really didn't expect that the two of us appearing together would still fail to attract investment..."

"Yes, Sister Mi." Sister Reba smiled helplessly: "These so-called capitalists, these so-called investors, really make people speechless. But Sister Mi, our money is all tied up in this drama. If we really can't attract investment again, you and I might both go bankrupt..."

"I know."

Hearing this, Da Mimi responded, and although her heart was somewhat panicked, she maintained her composure.

Although nominally, Da Mimi was the boss of Jiaxing Media,

in reality, Da Mimi's shareholding in Jiaxing Media was less than 20%.

A few years ago,

to fulfill the bet-on agreement of Jiaxing Media, Da Mimi shot 13 dramas in 3 years,

single-handedly dragging Jiaxing Media out of the fire pit,

and Da Mimi herself thus earned the title of "Desperate Yang Sanlang".

However,

shortly after that,

Jiaxing Media suffered consecutive investment failures,

and many invested films and TV series failed to recover costs due to various reasons,

which caused Jiaxing Media to sink deeper and deeper,

to save Jiaxing Media and also for self-preservation,

Da Mimi had no choice but to bring Sister Reba along, investing and acting, barely maintaining the normal operation of Jiaxing Media.

This time,

Da Mimi and Sister Reba both highly favored the film preparation project of "The Disappearance of Her",

so they prepared to make up their minds to absorb capital investment, thereby completely taking over this project and preparing to make a huge gamble,

however, what surprised both Da Mimi and Sister Reba greatly was,

that they and Sister Reba could not find money from the capitalists,

to put it plainly,

although their fame and popularity were still there,

the capitalists were no longer willing to continue investing in them!

This directly led to serious internal conflicts within Jiaxing Media,

one of the directors even directly sold his 20% shares and turned to leave, almost triggering a sharp drop in Jiaxing Media's stock price,

and Da Mimi and Sister Reba were thus further burdened, becoming even less favored by others,

But,

with "The Disappearance of Her" about to reach the one-month mark since project initiation and all other projects about to commence,

Da Mimi and Sister Reba had only secured an investment of one hundred million,

which, compared to the estimated production cost of eight hundred million, was barely a drop in the bucket,

if they waited until all projects had commenced,

and Da Mimi and Sister Reba's funds were completely cut off,

then this project would not only be immediately taken over by others,

but Da Mimi and Sister Reba's one hundred million investment would also be instantly lost...

Da Mimi was pondering a countermeasure with a troubled mind,

when Sister Reba suddenly thought of someone and whispered in a low voice, "Sister Mi, how about we try approaching that Mr. Qin? Someone capable of spending six hundred million to buy a twenty percent equity stake surely isn't short of money, right?"
