Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

With Jiang Beicheng's current high social status and extensive industrial layout, if the women around him can't use his resources to make themselves powerful, then they're just useless ornaments.

To him, this vase was only worth the pleasure of having sex.

Once the novelty wears off, switch to something else.

So far, both lovers and bed partners have performed quite well.

They are all thriving in their respective fields.

Liu Yifei knew the mentality of the wealthy in Jiangbei City, so she acted arrogantly and disdainfully.

This is the kind of face and sense of accomplishment that President Jiang likes.

You must know how to use his resources to show off.

The more enthusiastically he pretended, the more comfortable he felt.

Having accepted Jiang Beicheng's gift, Liu Yifei began to adapt to her new identity as the "Queen of the Chinese Entertainment Industry."

After she returns to the entertainment industry, she will treat all those artists, sponsors, producers, and even powerful investors who intend to antagonize her with the same attitude.

Defiant.

If you want to play, I'll play with you.

Jiang Zemin is behind them.

President Jiang likes his women to be high and mighty in front of others.

Because it's about saving face for him.

"As expected of a female artist who has been in the entertainment industry for so many years and is still at the top, you understand people's hearts the most." Jiang Beichen smiled and gently stroked Liu Yifei's belly, instructing her: "Take good care of yourself and focus on your pregnancy. When you make your comeback, it will definitely be a shocking scene in the Chinese entertainment industry."

I'm going to see the girl's father; Professor Shi from Beijing is here to give him a follow-up examination.

Liu Yifei smiled and nodded.

Just a few minutes after Jiang Beicheng left, Liu Yifei called her studio colleagues, saying, "Create some buzz to keep the hype going."

She rarely promotes herself.

Everyone in the industry knows her personality; she lets her work speak for itself.

Without a good script, you're basically invisible.

They only promote it through various fashion events and banquets.

However, he has basically turned down all announcements in the past few months.

It's no longer invisible.

Instead, it has completely lost its buzz and popularity.

On the contrary, female artists like Yang Mi have been doing very well outside, using President Jiang's name.

Sometimes it trends on social media several times a day.

In fact, Liu Yifei was not envious or jealous. In her words, Yang Mi only had those kinds of tricks up his sleeve.

However, every time Yang Mi trends on social media, her fans and those marketing accounts always try to put her down.

This made Liu Yifei feel uncomfortable.

Pregnancy itself involves high levels of hormones, which naturally leads to mood instability.

Besides Yang Mi, other actresses born in the 85s also have to bring themselves into any topic they're discussing.

Sometimes I think they're quite pathetic; it seems they all see themselves as the goal?
Makeup has to be compared, stylists have to be compared, acting skills have to be compared, works have to be compared, endorsements have to be compared... If you don't compare, you can't survive in the Chinese entertainment industry?

Is this all the ambition you've got?
Fine!

Today I'll create some hype myself and see if you guys can still try to piggyback on my success.

What can we compare it to?

When the studio staff heard that Liu Yifei was going to actively create hype, they were momentarily stunned and quite shocked.

Not only has she not done it, but with her status and the resources she has, she doesn't need those boring topics to seek attention.

"Sis, are you serious?" her friend asked, confirming.

Liu Yifei: "I'm currently in talks with Yizhi Culture Media about a collaboration. If things go well, I might acquire Yizhi Culture Media."

It was said in a very veiled way.

It wasn't explicitly stated that the shares were a gift from Jiangbei City to her.

Once this news gets out, it should go viral on major social media platforms.

In the past, everyone praised her as the pinnacle of female artists in the Chinese entertainment industry, but she was modest and took it as a polite remark.

Now that she's a top-tier celebrity, she's the pinnacle of female artists in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Don't try to take advantage of me or extort money from me; it will affect your mood during pregnancy.

The team members in the studio immediately realized that their boss was serious this time.

"Okay, sis, we'll get right on it."

The people in the studio also have a sense of honor.

That's Yizhi Culture Media, one of the most powerful investors in the entertainment industry right now.

If Yizhi Culture Media can successfully acquire Wanda Film, it will truly become the top listed company in the entertainment industry.

Once it successfully goes public, Liu Yifei's status will be incomparable to that of other celebrities.

Liu Yifei nodded.

He hung up the phone and a smile appeared on his face.

I still need to find something to enjoy in the entertainment industry, otherwise this pregnancy will be too boring.

……

Jiang Beicheng went to visit Wu's father at the detached villa where Ya Tou and the others lived.

"Brother Beicheng, have you eaten?" the girl asked affectionately.

"I just had dinner with your sister Yifei. Have the experts from Beijing arrived yet?" Jiang Beicheng asked with concern.

"Yes, the follow-up examination for Dad has been completed."

Jiang Beicheng followed them into the villa.

"Mr. Jiang!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

Professor Shi and Mr. and Mrs. Wu stood up to greet him.

"Sit down!" Jiang Beichen waved his hand, moved to the sofa and sat down. "Professor Shi, what's the situation?"

Professor Shi said, "Based on the examination report from Jiangnan City, the prognosis is very good."

If there are no specific symptoms or serious physical discomfort, a follow-up examination can be scheduled every six months.

Mr. and Mrs. Wu exchanged a glance and smiled.

Wu Keqing stood behind her parents, holding her mother's hand in one hand and her father's hand in the other, embodying the happiness of the family of three.

Jiang Beicheng: "Thank you for your hard work, Professor Shi."

Professor Shi: "General Jiang, you're too kind. I wouldn't dare delay the task assigned by the old leader."

Moreover, it is an honor for me to know such an outstanding young entrepreneur as Mr. Jiang.

He told Wu's father, "You can relax and live a carefree life. Just pay attention to your diet and activities."

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us by phone.

I will still fly to Jiangnan City regularly to check on the prognosis.

"Thank you, Professor Shi!" Mr. and Mrs. Wu said gratefully.

"Alright, Mr. Jiang, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. There's a special research conference in Chengdu tomorrow morning, and I need to attend." Professor Shi hurriedly said goodbye, "Thank you again for arranging the private jet."

Jiang Beicheng: "Do we have to go there tonight?"

"Yes, the team at West China Hospital is waiting for me to come over so we can discuss the research topic."

"I won't keep you for dinner. I'll have a helicopter take you there to save time."

"Thank you Mr. Jiang."

"Let's get together with the old chief next time," Jiang Beicheng said, shaking hands with Professor Shi.

He has great respect for talent.

Especially the leading figures in their respective fields.

Professor Shi can be considered a leading authority in cancer research in China.

When making friends with these big shots, Jiang Beicheng didn't consider any factors related to interests; it was purely out of genuine respect and admiration.

Professor Shi and other industry leaders also give Jiang Beicheng a lot of face. If there is anything related to their profession, they can basically solve it with just one phone call.

After seeing Professor Shi off, Jiang Beicheng returned to the living room, where Wu's father instructed Wu's mother to make him some tea.

Wu Keqing walked over and clung to Jiang Beicheng's arm. When no one else was around, she instantly transformed into a quirky and lively little sister.

Seeing their daughter being affectionate with Jiang Beicheng, Mr. and Mrs. Wu felt no embarrassment whatsoever; on the contrary, they were quite happy. They even felt a surge of pride.

They also considered themselves members of the Jiang family, enjoying the Jiang family's protection and sense of honor.

Once you enjoy the comfortable life created by abundant wealth, you'll realize that the ethics and morals you used to uphold were truly just "fussy rules for the poor."

It cannot provide you with the best medical care, recuperation, and living conditions... it cannot save your life.

The Wu family deeply felt the happiness that the Jiang family brought them in every aspect.

"Is Beicheng resting here tonight?" After pouring tea for Jiang Beicheng, Aunt Wu didn't forget to ask another question.

She also hoped that her daughter could conceive a child in Jiangbei City; she still vividly remembered that dinner that night.

Liu Yifei received so much in return for becoming pregnant with the Jiang family's child.

Calculated in "hundred million".

The couple wasn't purely looking at material rewards; otherwise, what's the difference between that and selling their own daughter?
Giving the Jiang family an heir is actually a protective charm for the Wu family.

Wu Keqing is young and not very thoughtful, but as elders, we should still consider her feelings more.

Even if I'm overthinking it, it's only human nature.

Jiang Beicheng turned his head to look at Wu Keqing. The girl looked up at him with a smile on her face and expectant eyes, clearly hoping that he would stay.

Compared to her older sisters, she definitely spends less time alone with her brother Beichen.

Jiang Beichen smiled and kissed Wu Keqing's lips, then pinched the girl's cheek.

The girl smiled happily.

Mr. and Mrs. Wu laughed along, enjoying the young couple's display of affection.

……

"Chairman Wang, you've gone to a lot of trouble today. Next time I'll treat you, please do me the honor."

After the dinner in Shanghai ended, Yang Mi said goodbye to Chairman Wang of Shanghai Film Studio and director Wong Kar-wai. "Director Wang, it was an honor to appear in your film. If there were any shortcomings in the filming process, please feel free to criticize and correct me."

Chairman Wang smiled and said, "Actually, you are the biggest contributor tonight. You got President Jiang to resolve the issues in Thailand."

That's all for today. We'll meet again another day.

Wong Kar-wai added, "Directors and actors respect and support each other. I wish us both success."

I still want to thank you for helping me solve the problem of filming at the Grand Palace in Thailand.

Yang Mi was overjoyed and said modestly, "President Jiang's reputation in the industry is known to everyone, and he respects artists."

He is equally loyal to his celebrity friends.

We should be thanking President Jiang.

They satisfied their vanity without seeking credit for themselves.

Leave a good impression on Chairman Wang and Director Wang.

Tonight's dinner was entirely a one-woman show by her.

Moreover, the performance was quite brilliant, earning them a lot of face.

Zhang Ziyi forced a smile as she said goodbye to the two bigwigs.

"Sister Ziyi, are you going to the hotel?"

When they came out of the private room, Yang Mi expressed his concern.

Looking at Yang Mi at this moment, Zhang Ziyi thought she had the smug look of a petty person who had gotten her way.

I feel uncomfortable.

But he still had to shamelessly fawn over Yang Mi, "Back to the hotel, I wonder if we're going the same way? Where are you staying?"

"It's alright, Sister Ziyi, I'll take you there," Yang Mi said.

The two chatted about movies in the car, and Zhang Ziyi took the initiative to share her own experiences.

Yang Mi was indeed listening attentively.

These things are very useful to her.

We can't just use President Jiang's name to show off; we have to actually demonstrate some real ability.

Otherwise, I would embarrass President Jiang, and I couldn't bear the consequences.

Zhang Ziyi shared these things with a purpose, probing, "President Jiang values ​​you, his artist friend, very much. What happened tonight makes us colleagues particularly envious."

"It's probably because we have similar personalities. We usually have very pleasant conversations in private. To be honest, I never expected President Jiang to give me so much face."

Having gotten used to showing off under the guise of Jiangbei City, Yang Mi was no longer aware that he was speaking in a very high-class manner.

Zhang Ziyi's words sounded like she was showing off.

She didn't believe that Yang Mi and Jiang Beicheng were just compatible in personality.

However, some things are embarrassing to talk about, after all, she had used many methods to curry favor with wealthy patrons in the past.

"I've always wanted to talk to an outstanding producer like Mr. Jiang about the art of film. In Director Wang's words, I hope we can achieve mutual success."

"If it's convenient for you, could you please invite President Jiang to our next meal?" Zhang Ziyi asked.

Is Zhang Ziyi making a plea for herself?
This was not the arrogant and aloof actress she knew.

I was secretly pleased.

"There should be an opportunity," Yang Mi replied ambiguously to Zhang Ziyi.

They still received Zhang Ziyi's thanks.

After dropping Zhang Ziyi off at her hotel, Yang Mi returned to her apartment in Shanghai.

The feeling of pushing open the door and coming home is indescribably wonderful.

She even fantasized about Jiang Beicheng holding her waist and dancing with her at that moment.

"Hahaha, Da Mimi, you're eyeing President Jiang's health again."

As Yang Mi pondered this, he laughed at himself.

I poured myself a cup of hot water, lay down on the sofa, turned on the projector, and played a random song.

Take out your phone and check WeChat.

She wondered if President Jiang had replied to her message; she was ready to parachute in at any moment.

I didn't receive a reply from President Jiang, but I saw some explosive news in several friend groups.

"Liu Yifei has invested in Yizhi Culture Media, a marketing account just broke the news."

"It's not an investment, it's an acquisition. Does Liu Yifei have that much money?"

"What I don't understand is why the founder, Jiang Beicheng, would sell Yizhi Culture Media? Is he facing debt problems?"

"That's impossible. Mr. Jiang has very strong financial resources. I've heard from friends that in China, when it comes to cash flow, he's at the top tier."

"I guess he's gotten tired of dabbling in the entertainment industry and has lost interest in it. Now he's preparing to cash out and leave."

@Mijie: "Mijie, what do you think? You and President Jiang are such good friends, why don't you ask President Jiang why he's selling the entertainment industry?"

Yang Mi stared wide-eyed at the phone screen.

Instead of replying to the message, he hurriedly exited WeChat and browsed Weibo.

It was just as she expected.

Tonight's top Weibo trending topic is #LiuYifeiAcquiresYizhiCultureMedia#.

There are also many trending topics on Weibo about Liu Yifei and Yizhi Culture Media.

#Liu Yifei's assets are estimated at 5 billion#
#Yizhi Culture Media is Wanda Film's largest creditor#

#Liu Yifei may become a new big spender in the Chinese entertainment industry#
#Jiangbei City is preparing to sell off its entertainment industry#

...Yang Mi immediately understood what was going on. She wasn't sure if the online claims about Liu Yifei's assets were true, but she was certain that the news about Liu Yifei acquiring Yizhi Culture Media was real.

To be precise, it should be a gift from Jiangbei City to Liu Yifei.

There was no monetary transaction at all; it was just a matter of money being transferred from one hand to the other.

This means that Liu Yifei has been recognized by Jiang Beicheng as a member of the "Jiang family".

We're just handing over the entertainment industry to her to manage now.

I was just thinking of having my studio hype up my collaboration with director Wong Kar-wai when I got back tonight, to generate some buzz and let my fans drag down other actresses born in the 85s.

Seeing the trending topic of Liu Yifei acquiring Yizhi Culture Media, Yang Mi calmed down.

Don't dare to make mistakes.

Trying to create a vivid image for yourself at a time like this is just embarrassing.

She had speculated that Liu Yifei might take over Jiang Beicheng's entertainment industry after giving birth to his child, but she never expected it to happen so quickly.

The priority now is to quickly send a message to Liu Yifei to inquire about her health.

Not only Yang Mi, but the entire Chinese entertainment industry was in an uproar. Whether friends or collaborators, everyone messaged Liu Yifei, confirming the authenticity of the trending topic and expressing their congratulations and respect. (End of Chapter)
