The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 375 I wanted to reprimand her sternly
“I acquired a plot of land in Xishan District,” Angela explained. “Initially, I applied for it under the guise of building Sony’s movie theme park. After some effort, it was approved at the end of last year. I plan to put it on hold for now and apply to change it to residential land after a while.”

Xu Jiuyang just wanted to cover his forehead.

"You're a bit......" He was a little confused and didn't know what to say.

I want to say something to criticize them, but which real estate company doesn't do this? Even if policies tighten more than a decade later, they will still find ways to exploit loopholes.

Huang Gua Li is a prime example. He did a lot of messy things in Fujian Province, which eventually forced him to flee to Britain. He's become a laughing stock.

“I can guarantee that all the paperwork is complete and all the fees will be paid. I’m a law-abiding businesswoman,” Angela said with a smile.

"That must be very expensive; I might not be able to afford it," Xu Jiuyang said expressionlessly.

“I’ll give you a discount; you definitely need a bigger house.” Angela smiled like a fox.

Xu Jiuyang was slightly annoyed. Although he had previously considered buying a villa and had even asked Zhang Yan to collect relevant information, he wasn't in a hurry.

If it's available, I'll buy it; if not, I'll keep looking. I'm quite comfortable living in the house I'm currently renting.

But he soon abandoned this idea and wanted to speed things up because more and more people were starting to live there.

Liu Tao was the first to object, stating directly that she was also an assistant and should naturally move in as well, so she could communicate with the boss at any time.

As for the company not being established yet, that's alright, it's only a matter of time. The more we get to know each other now, the better we can serve the boss in the future.

The reason I didn't do a good job when I was in charge of Shenlei Technology was because I had communication problems with the boss.

Xu Jiuyang never expected that Teacher Bai would be so proactive. You know, she even implied in her words that if he moved in, he could not only handle official business but also warm the bed.

In fact, ever since she moved in, whenever he was there, she would always run to his bedroom at night, and she had already succeeded several times. As a result, Zhang Yan always glared at her behind her back, and no one knew how many times she had tattled on her to Fan Bingbing.

After Dong Qing found out, although she did not follow up directly, she always subtly expressed her hope to better serve her boss.

She always acted all teasy and sarcastic, so Xu Jiuyang finally couldn't hold back and gave her a good beating with a stick one of the times.

As mentioned before, they would definitely place their own people around them, and these people would inevitably move in, so they would definitely need to buy villas. I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

However, while he can buy things, he must decide for himself how and where to buy them, instead of being forced to do so as he is now. This is his last act of defiance.

“That’s not good,” he said sternly. “Let’s not even talk about how long it will take for your villa to be completed. Even if it is completed and ready for sale, what will people think if you give me a discount? Besides, given your personality, you’ll definitely build the most luxurious type. Even with a discount, I might not be able to afford it, since there are other things I need to spend money on.”

However, these words did not deter Angela.

“Don’t worry, I have a way to make it affordable for you,” she said, her expression turning serious. “Good news, I’ve already gotten Blizzard from Vivendi.”

"Huh?" Xu Jiuyang's eyes widened. "Really?"

"What do you think I've been flying back and forth across the Pacific these past few weeks for?" Angela raised an eyebrow with a hint of smugness.

"How much did you ask for?" Xu Jiuyang was still a little confused.

“Hmm…” Angela thought about it carefully, “It’s hard to explain to you, but in short, I’ve made some alliances and formed a new company. Although it’s still named after Blizzard, Vivendi, Sony, and Activision all have shares. I’m the major shareholder and have the right to operate it.”

"Actually, Activision too?" Xu Jiuyang was surprised. "As far as I know, Activision's head, Cordick, is not someone to be trifled with."

“Thank you for your concern, darling,” Angela exclaimed dramatically. “Don’t worry, it’s temporary. Once everything settles down, I have plenty of ways to get rid of him.”

She leaned closer, her smile becoming seductive: "Want to be the distributor for Blizzard's World of Warcraft? I've already tried it, and I can assure you, it completely blows away all the online games on the market right now." Xu Jiuyang, who was about to say something, twitched his lips. It was outrageous! How could she do this, especially since he had only recently decided to get the distribution rights for World of Warcraft?

Before he could continue, Angela casually added, "By the way, after the villa is built, I'll promote the others to Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Bingbing. Not only that, but I can still offer discounts and mortgages to anyone else who wants to buy."

Although she didn't explicitly name any other people, the meaning was quite clear, and it even implied another meaning: not to sell to people outside the circle.

What are you trying to do? Are you trying to seduce me?! Xu Jiuyang wanted to reprimand her sternly, but the promises she made were just too good to be true.

"Besides..." he stammered for a while before finally managing to squeeze out these words.

Angela's smile widened, but she didn't say anything more. Only after the filming on set was finished did she whisper, "Come with me to the airport to pick someone up later."

"What kind of person would you need to personally pick up at the airport?" Xu Jiuyang asked curiously.

"It's important, but it's also not important," she said cryptically.

"Speak like a human being," Xu Jiuyang said bluntly.

“Okay, in plain terms, it depends on the situation.” Angela shrugged.

"Got it. This person himself isn't very useful, but the people behind him are worth winning over." Xu Jiuyang clapped his hands, then asked, "Male or female?"

“Of course it’s a woman,” Angela chuckled. “And she’s blonde, blue-eyed, and has a great figure.”

Xu Jiuyang pouted and ignored her teasing. However, when they actually arrived at the airport, he realized that what she said was true and she hadn't exaggerated at all.

Hey, Angie.

Hey, Ini.

At the airport exit, two tall blonde women embraced warmly, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.

Xu Jiuyang just wanted to twitch his lips. You should have said it was her earlier. Why did you have to hide it?

But when introducing themselves, he still politely extended his hand: "I hope you have a pleasant holiday here, Ini."

"Thank you, Jiuyang." Yini smiled broadly, looking at him with undisguised curiosity until she was pulled into the car.

Xu Jiuyang breathed a sigh of relief as he sat in the passenger seat. He was glad he hadn't called for a motorhome; otherwise, the way the two of them were chattering away in the back would have made it incredibly awkward for him to be sitting opposite them.

It wasn't because he couldn't understand what Angela was saying; because of Angela, he had taken the time to brush up on his English. Although he still had some problems with reading and writing, his listening and speaking were generally fluent.

So listening to the two of them discuss various lipstick colors and models in the back was truly a torturous experience.

You know, during the three years he was surrounded by women, apart from the time Li Dabai talked to him about this topic, they basically never mentioned it. They were very considerate.

Xu Jiuyang sighed again, it was so good that they didn't have to call a motorhome and sit in front of them.

However, the thought that Angela, who has always been a strong woman, would become... it's hard to describe, but it's just very strange.

“It’s okay, that’s just how she is,” Anne Hathaway, who was driving, said in a low voice.
