The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 367 The True Destiny's Daughter

"I want to start an investment company. Are you interested in helping me, Qingqing?" Xu Jiuyang asked this the next morning.

Although he was watching Dong Qing eat, he held Zhou Tao in his arms, his hand slipping inside the collar of her pajamas.

“No problem, as long as Miss agrees.” Dong Qing replied while eating.

“I’ll talk to Yunxin. I think she should have someone in charge of things at Jinwu Media,” Xu Jiuyang said, looking at Zhou Tao in his arms. “If all else fails, Tao Tao can work part-time, right?”

"As long as Miss agrees, of course, um, no problem..." Zhou Tao breathed slightly, her face flushed.

"Actually, there's no need to rush. This matter still needs time to prepare, and the company won't be too big, so I won't offer Qingqing a high salary," Xu Jiuyang said with a smile.

"It's alright, it's the greatest honor to serve the boss." Dong Qing ate very happily.

"So, would you be interested in becoming my legal counsel, Professor Bai?" Xu Jiuyang turned to the other side of himself.

Liu Tao's face turned even redder as he held her with his other arm, because the arm was in an inappropriate position and was even more unrestrained.

"I...I work as a legal counsel?" Teacher Bai, who was already somewhat dazed, trembled upon hearing this, tensed up for a few seconds, and then collapsed into his arms.

Xu Jiuyang wasn't in a hurry. He waited a moment until Dong Qing finished eating before withdrawing his hand from Liu Tao's clothes and gently patting her cheek.

"If...if Sister Liu agrees..." Liu Tao, regaining her senses, breathed slightly.

“She’ll agree,” Xu Jiuyang laughed. “Alright, now go line up over by the sofa.”

Although I had a good time last night, I still felt like I hadn't had enough. Since I have nothing to do today, I might as well enjoy myself. Even though there's plenty of time, both Dong Qing and Liu Tao have agreed to my recruitment.

Even without considering his shares in the two game companies, his total assets are close to 20 million. If they are included, it's no exaggeration to say that he'll be worth over 100 million by the end of the year.

Therefore, it is natural to need to set up a company to manage one's assets, as the taxes would be very high if the assets were entirely owned by an individual.

Appearing as a company offers many ways to avoid and evade taxes—we won't evade taxes, but why not use the tax exemptions and tax avoidances clearly stipulated by the state?

In addition, Zhang Yan has been by his side for quite some time, and sooner or later Li Yunxin and Angela will find out that she is a long-term ally planted by Fan Bingbing.

At that time, according to the principle of unity among the great powers, they will inevitably place their own people around them as well—Sister Yuanyuan doesn't need to worry about that, if it weren't for them, those two literary assistants probably wouldn't have been arranged.

Anyway, this is bound to happen, unless Xu Jiuyang runs away, so it's better to take the initiative and keep the women you think are good and useful by your side.

Not to mention Dong Qing, she has been serving him for several years. Her abilities are not outstanding, but she is quite capable in all aspects. She never gets tired of playing that kind of contrasting woman trick.

Actually, Zhou Tao is not bad either. After all, she was also trained by Li Yunxin. Last night, her contrasting and manipulative demeanor was even stronger than Dong Qing's, especially when she was holding the microphone and broadcasting.

However, Dong Qing had the upper hand and had made almost no mistakes, so Xu Jiuyang was naturally reluctant to let her go.

If given the chance, we could bring those two together with Yang Lan and Xu Gehui to have a competition and see who is the strongest female host.

Getting back to the main point, Dong Qing represents Li Yunxin, so Liu Tao naturally represents Sister Xiaoli.

Although it's unclear how much Xiaoli interacts with Angela and the others, they're planning to gather all their people together, and Xiaoli's representative isn't missing.

As for Angela, I'll bring that up with her when I have time. As for Sister Yuanyuan, just make those two literary assistants permanent staff—they haven't been fully taken over yet—I don't think she'll care too much.

Of course, in this way, from then on, one's wealth, itinerary, and even every move will be under their watchful eyes.

But so what? Does that mean they can't find out now just because they want to?
It's just a little troublesome.

So, as I said before, unless he wants to become a hermit in the future, he might as well be more direct and honest. If they truly respected him, they wouldn't be like voyeurs constantly prying into his life.

Moreover, everyone has someone around them, which provides checks and balances and allows them to better serve their own interests.

Xu Jiuyang didn't devote much energy to Shenlei Technology, but he was still aware of what Liu Tao had done. She was competent as an assistant, but quite accomplished in legal matters.

It's impossible for her to handle lawsuits, as that's not what she studied, but she's quite competent at formulating relevant rules and regulations based on various laws and providing various reference opinions.

Clearly, Ms. Bai has indeed learned something at the University of Foreign Trade, and coupled with the capable demeanor she developed under Sister Xiaoli's tutelage, that's why someone said she's better than she was in her previous life.

In conclusion, both Zhulong, which was managed by Tu Jingwei, and Shenlei, which was managed and operated by Dong Qing and Liu Tao, were well managed and operated. Even though they mainly relied on professional managers and the support of Fan Bingbing, Li Yunxin and Sister Xiaoli, if they had no ability at all, they would have been eaten up by the professional managers sooner or later.

So far, Xu Jiuyang has not been able to find any clues in the various reports and documents, and the situation roughly matches his memory.

This is why, when he was thinking about acquiring the distribution rights for World of Warcraft, although he always said it was on the premise that Angela would get Blizzard, he basically never considered the possibility that she might fail.

After all, they were all like chosen ones, able to succeed at whatever they wanted.

Putting that aside, a few more days passed, and June arrived. As the weather grew hotter, Xu Jiuyang prepared to meet the true Destiny Woman.

"Wow, Tian Tian, ​​you actually treated me to dinner here." Xu Jiuyang said jokingly after arriving at Da Dong's private room.

"It's...it's alright. I think the prices here are quite reasonable," Jing Tian said shyly, glancing intently at Zhang Yan beside him.

Listen to what they're saying. Da Dong's average price might not be comparable to those high-end Western restaurants, but it's definitely not cheap. So... it seems her identity can be confirmed?

"This is my assistant, Zhang Yan. She's the one who answered the phone earlier," Xu Jiuyang introduced.

"Hello, Sister Zhang," Da Tiantian said politely, but her gaze still held a hint of confusion.

"You," Xu Jiuyang glared at her, annoyed, "you really are a young lady. Who invites only one person to dinner?"

"Huh? Can't I?" Da Tiantian blinked.

“If it were someone else, it wouldn’t be a problem,” Xu Jiuyang sighed, “but how old are you, and how old am I? Besides, I’m a celebrity now. If a reporter sees me and takes pictures, I can manage, since I’m a man, but what about your reputation? If your parents find out, how will they feel? That’s why I’ve rejected you so many times!”

Towards the end, she spoke with such earnestness that Jing Tian felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, it was my oversight."

"It's alright, it's alright, I'm here now, aren't I?" Xu Jiuyang smiled.

I couldn't refuse; they called every few days, always speaking very kindly, making it impossible to turn them down.
