Chapter 578: Remember to Come Home

"To be honest, isn't this sum of money a bit too small?"

Now that she had seen the world, Cheng Hao was quite puzzled when facing the request Zhou Yi made.

Unlike the internet, she knew quite a bit about the situation in traditional industries—before she debuted, when she worked as a model shooting commercials and guest-hosting various annual galas and parties, she had come into contact with many domestic traditional industry companies.

Since Zhou Yi started playing with investments, the only traditional industry he had touched was Moutai; everything else he played with was asset-light internet businesses. Suddenly taking over the shares transferred by Anta made Cheng Hao feel somewhat surprised.

Although Anta's reputation was growing day by day, its actual profits could only be said to be less than a single hair on Zhou Yi's body—all the money was used for the crazy expansion of offline store channels, crossing the river by feeling the stones with Li Ning.

After all, Li Ning at this period was indeed not yet the king of slacking off that would later suffer a double Waterloo in both quality and reputation; whether in materials or quality, it was the genuine number one domestic brand.

"How to put it, I am more optimistic about their boss; he is young enough and has enough ideas."

Zhou Yi explained to Cheng Hao with a serious face—

The main point was just one word: it looks pleasing to the eye!

In the future, Anta would be able to advance step by step with steady footing, transform in time several times, go against the current and defy public opinion to compete with Nike and Adidas when even Li Ning was crushed, and finally surpass Adidas to become the global number two, fighting neck and neck with the number one Nike; this young Mr. Ding could be said to have made the greatest contribution.

Judging solely from aspects like boldness and decisiveness, he belonged to the rare elite second-generation rich.

Cheng Hao had no reaction to this; she even rolled her eyes: "Just keep acting up. Once this matter gets out, you will definitely be targeted by more people in the startup circle, with a label stuck on your forehead that says 'stupid, rich, come quickly' that won't come off."

She did not agree with holding Anta; in her opinion, such a crazy expansion model of offline stores was absolutely unhealthy. Once it exploded, there would be too many negative assets, and bankruptcy was even possible.

"I'm casual about it. Anyway, they can't find me; if anyone is annoyed, it's you, the General Manager." Zhou Yi grinned, took a bite of the apple, and didn't take it seriously at all.

"Yes, yes, yes. I truly owe you from a past life."

Cheng Hao shook her head with a smile. Leaning back tactically, she turned her head to look around this hotel suite, her crossed legs swinging back and forth: "Did you spend the night with which woman here again last night?"

"Fan Bingbin? Or Li Bingbin? Or that Zhihua? It couldn't be those two underage Japanese girls, right?"

"How can you speak like that? That's called studying calligraphy." Zhou Yi mumbled indistinctly with juice splashing from his mouth to express his protest.

After a brief communication with Mr. Ding of Anta, he called to notify Cheng Hao, who was in charge of business. The latter, hearing it was a traditional industry, feared he would be cheated, so she immediately asked for the address and rushed over, which led to the discussion above.

"Don't research yourself into a ditch."

Knowing there was no one else in the room at the moment, Cheng Hao warned: "The entertainment circle is not peaceful recently. Wang Xiaoyu received some wind that an actress from the eighteen-line level or lower is contacting multiple media outlets, saying she wants to expose video tapes and audio tapes of herself with many directors, which might involve some big directors."

"Tell me the details."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi immediately perked up with a look of eager gossip, which made Cheng Hao point at his forehead in annoyance: "I told you to be careful, not to eat melon and watch the show."

"In this circle, I can be called chaste and pure; you can rest assured." The man seriously plastered gold on his own face.

If he were just a little indiscriminate about meat and vegetables, he would have gone straight to the red sofa.

Didn't the domestic entertainment circle long for Hollywood? That red sofa was an essential part of Hollywood. Don't say musicians can't do it; Lady Gaga could be raped by a producer, and in the end, she endured it to exchange for an opportunity.

"No proper conduct."

Cheng Hao spat in contempt and strongly condemned such shameless behavior: "Where is she? Did you just drive her away?"

"What kind of talk is that? I sent her to pick up the female lead for the MV of my other songs. I just can't get away."

After biting off the last few pieces and throwing the core into the trash can, Zhou Yi wiped his mouth, bent his elbows on the table, and said with a smile: "You, the old senior, are so famous; how would I dare to leave Wan Ren Mi to accompany others?"

"Hmm?" Cheng Hao tilted her head with a smile, her gaze not moving away at all, but instead looking at him with interest: "Will you have to go abroad again later to shoot an MV?"

"Yes. After shooting, the album will be ready to be recorded and shipped. Strive to release the album in early November. After holding concerts in Hong Kong and Shangrao, have a good New Year—oh no, there's also the Spring Festival Gala..."

In front of Cheng Hao, Zhou Yi could vent freely without any worry.

The Spring Festival Gala stage, which more than 99% of artists in the entertainment circle flocked to, had for the current Zhou Yi clearly become a stumbling block preventing him from resting at home during the New Year.

He knew with his butt what song he would sing at this year's Spring Festival Gala—once "Blue and White Porcelain" came out, unless the leaders had a brain glitch, even deciding with their toes would know which song to choose.

It was the true masterpiece that gathered all the essence of Chinese style, the most brilliant pearl on the crown, and also the towering work that helped Jay Chou truly become the number one person in the new era of the domestic music scene.

Except for some slight conflicts between the lyrics' imagery and the song title in the professional cognition regarding realistic meanings, this song had no flaws to pick.

"Hong Kong? Isn't Jackie Chan's new movie also guest-starring in Hong Kong?" Remembering that Zhou Yi had mentioned before that he was invited to guest-star in Jackie Chan's new movie, Cheng Hao curiously asked another question.

After the Hollywood blockbuster "Around the World in 80 Days" bombed at the box office, Jackie Chan, who had already bombed three times in a row, lost the halo he had established in Hollywood and had to return to the domestic market under the banner of "revitalizing Hong Kong cinema."

And the film, marketed as the "Hong Kong cinema market-saving work," was finally named "New Police Story" and would officially start filming on September 21, which is tonight.

With the two Emperor Entertainment stars, Xie Tingfeng and Cai Zuoyan, joining, and the villain Ah Zu being a signed artist from Jackie Chan's own company, whether it was the gimmick or the star halo, this movie was maxed out.

"Yes. After the new album is released in November, I will go to Hong Kong for a concert in mid-November, and after finishing, I will go to guest-star." As soon as he mentioned this, Zhou Yi rubbed his hands together with great anticipation, his eyes almost glowing.

Seeing his state, Cheng Hao found it strange: "Are you very interested in making movies?"

"No, no, no. I have no interest in making movies, but I have an interest in using the name of making movies to—"

Ring ring ring!

Before Zhou Yi finished speaking, the mobile phone placed aside rang, interrupting his bold statement.

"Hello?"

"We are almost there, Zhou Yi."

"Okay, I know."

The notification from Qin Lan made Zhou Yi put away his joking mood. After hanging up the phone, he changed out of his pajamas and went downstairs with the understanding Cheng Hao.

Hotel lobby.

Qin Lan, who acted as the guide bringing Chen Qiaoen'en, Tang Yan, Yang Mi, and Wen Yongshan, saw Zhou Yi walk out from the elevator entrance while chatting. Her face lit up with joy, and she was about to stand up to welcome him, but she noticed the graceful and beautiful woman beside him—

Wan Ren Mi, Cheng Hao.

The moment they saw her, whether it was Chen Qiaoen'en from Taiwan or Tang Yan and Yang Mi, the two from the mainland, they all widened their eyes in unison, staring at the two as they walked and talked intimately.

Yes, intimate.

In the eyes of the five, the distance between the two was definitely intimate.

Forget about being friends; this absolutely crossed the line.

"Alright, then I'll go back first to busy myself with the instructions of you, young master."

Cheng Hao, who also saw the four women and Zhou Yi's assistant team members, smiled. Raising her hand, she helped Zhou Yi adjust his slightly soft collar and said softly: "Be safe outside, and remember to come home."

Chen Qiaoen'en: "..."

Tang Yan: "OVO……"

Yang Mi: "OVO……"

Wen Yongshan: "OVO……"

Qin Lan: "……"

The staff were used to it and completely ignored them.
