My wife is in my arms

Chapter 926 Really Six

Mid to late June.

The evening sun was still quite intense. Even though it wasn't the hottest month yet, the outdoor temperature was already as high as 34 degrees Celsius. Jiang Yiren checked the weather forecast and saw that it would rain in two days. After the rain, the city would enter its first wave of high temperatures.

Summer is indeed a season that is not very popular.

Just like her husband at this moment.

These past two days, besides going to the company to record the songs I'll be singing for the singing competition, I've also been maintaining and testing his fishing rods...

The maintenance involved replacing all the thick red rope at the front with new ones and repainting some of the areas on the fishing rod where the paint might have chipped. If that were all, she wouldn't be angry. What Jiang Yiren found most unacceptable was the testing process.

She actually used a large fishing rod to test the pulling force of the potted plant she bought. She watched helplessly as her husband lifted her potted plant into the air, and then with a "bang," the flowerpot shattered, and the blooming flowers and soil inside all fell out.

Her husband ruined a perfectly good potted plant.

The fish had already demonstrated tremendous destructive power before we even started fishing.

It was even more exaggerated than last year's performance, like a long-awaited resurgence of explosive news. In the end, Jiang Yiren couldn't stand it anymore and suggested that he test it... by hanging his daughter and apprentice on the fishing hook... According to her husband, this was a test of the pulling power of a large fish.

Social security was not paid.

It's like making them the same as regular employees who can receive pensions in the future.

After saying that, she added, "No matter how big the thing is, it's not as big as your eldest apprentice. If you don't like it, I'll call Zhongxia over." Hearing her say that, Mr. Zhang stopped his neurotic behavior of acting like he was drunk without even touching a drop of alcohol.

really.

In Mr. Zhang's eyes, even the best-kept flowers were just material possessions; his daughter and two disciples were the most important. Just then, the voice of his agent, Han Hui, came from behind him, saying, "It's almost time; you can go now."

"What's the rush? It's only a little past five."

Jiang Yiren spoke.

"I want to see your husband get serious."

Mentioning this, Han Hui couldn't help but laugh, saying, "It's all over the internet now, saying that your husband was just being modest before, but this time he's going to go after other singers."

He was joking.

Jiang Yiren said unhappily.

"The fact that a joke has spread so widely is a testament to fame and influence. Let's go! I can't wait. Last night, that damned Li Xiaohong was mocking the husbands of the artists I manage, saying they only know how to talk big. I hope your husband's performance later will give her a good slap in the face."

Han Hui spoke.

Jiang Yiren sprinkled some of the nutrient solution she had bought onto a potted plant whose leaves looked a bit withered and yellow, then moved it under the eaves before going upstairs to change into a light gray long dress.

Han Hui opened the car door and let Jiang Yiren get in first. She then took on the role of driver. After the car drove out of Jiang Yiren's garage and out of the community, Han Hui finally spoke, "Are you really going to let your husband go back to his old lifestyle?!"

Before Jiang Yiren could answer, Han Hui continued, "Try to persuade him more! If you don't earn money while you can and save it, it will be harder to earn money when you can't. I admit that your husband's fame and influence are indeed great now, but the entertainment industry changes so fast. He might have already been left behind by the times while he's lying at home."

Han Hui's words were not an exaggeration. People can remain unchanged, but the pace of development in the times is so fast that it's hard to keep up.

This is especially evident in the entertainment industry. In the years she has been Jiang Yiren's agent, she has seen many artists who suddenly become popular and then disappear just as quickly. It's not that they were blacklisted or sidelined by their companies, but rather that the influence of a single show faded, and they lacked the follow-up talent. Then, even more handsome and beautiful artists appeared in the entertainment industry, and the audience's attention was completely drawn to the new artists.

Zhang You is indeed talented.

But he's over thirty this year. He can still sing and dance at this age, but in a few years, once he's past his peak age and new talented artists emerge in the entertainment industry, it will be much more uncertain whether he will still have the same appeal.

In the entertainment industry, the smartest thing to do is to capitalize on your success.

When you can make money, make money as much as you can. Although Zhang You's album sold a lot of money, who would complain about having too much money?

While there are ways to spend money when you're broke and ways to spend money when you're rich, nobody likes spending money when you're broke.

The ultimate goal in life is to buy whatever you want; everything else is nonsense. In fact, strictly speaking, this matter has nothing to do with her.

No matter how much Zhang You earns, Han Hui, as his wife's agent, won't get a single penny. But regardless of what others think, Han Hui still feels she should say a few words.

For no other reason than that Jiang Yiren had suffered so much in the past, so she deserves a better life.

"I can't persuade them!"

Jiang Yiren rubbed her head in frustration and said, "Last night I just mentioned it, and they immediately shut me down with 'My album sold so well'."

"Is several hundred million a lot?!"

Han Wei countered, "Go back and tell him that many celebrities in the entertainment industry are worth billions, some even exceeding 10 billion. What is his little bit of money compared to that?"

That's what I said.

Jiang Yiren gave a wry smile and said, "Do you know what people are saying?! He said the songs he sang on the second season of 'The Voice of China' are still making money, and Xu Lun and October Band will definitely earn money for the family too. In addition, his two movies with the company and 'The Voice of China' will also make money, and 'The Vanished Her,' which he co-invested in with Feitian and the company, is also making a lot of money."

"..."

Han Hui remained silent.

They've barely gotten anywhere yet, and they're already claiming that the movies they invest in can make money. "The Voice of China" is not bad though; after one episode aired, the response wasn't too strong, but it was within acceptable limits, considering it's only just started.

It's hard to say about the others.

However, if it really succeeds, whether Zhang You comes out or not doesn't really matter much. But is that even possible?
Han Hui was fully aware of the risks involved in the investment.

Especially now that the film industry is in an unprecedented winter, many large entertainment companies have been reducing the number of films they release in recent years, fearing that failure would accelerate the company's bankruptcy. But Zhang You plunged in headfirst, and more importantly, he invested in three movies and a music variety show.

It's unclear whether Zhang You is blindly confident or simply too capable, but he seems unable to wait for the results of one project before investing in the next.

After a while, Han Hui said, "If you can't persuade them, then find a way to force them. Also... once the album's revenue share comes through, you have to find a way to keep it in your hands. Men with no money will try to do bad things, but with money, they can be so bad that you won't even realize it. Besides that, there's also the revenue share from the songs. Anyway, you must keep the family's big money firmly in your own hands."
