The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 406 is still different.
Fortunately, what someone was worried about did not happen. Although Liu Qianqian, as expected, became so caught up in her emotions during the performance that she could not extricate herself, Yang Mi did her job.

She helped Liu Qianqian into the temporary rest room and chased the others out. Ten minutes later, the two girls came out, and Liu Qianqian returned to normal. She not only chatted and laughed with her, but also glared at someone, looking like she was saying, "It's all your fault."

Xu Jiuyang didn't care at all. It was already good enough that he could successfully complete this final shoot. He didn't need to worry about anything else.

Then, this version of "Chinese Paladin" finally wrapped up filming in late November. The actual filming took almost three months, and the level of detail was almost comparable to Zhang Dahuzi's Jin Yong dramas.

Sister Xiaoli attended the wrap party and congratulated and thanked each of the main creators one by one. She was very tactful and made everyone feel warm and comfortable.

"I've been quite busy lately, so I haven't been to the set much. Luckily, my younger brother is helping to keep an eye on things," she told Xu Jiuyang.

Yes, she's busy with the toy company. As Yang Mi said, it's currently in the expansion phase, and she needs to personally oversee and make decisions on many things.

Xu Jiuyang did not ask to invest. Although he roughly knew how Da Mimi and Sister Xiaoli were planning to set up the toy company through Da Mimi's description, he knew that the profit margin would be relatively thin before the system was established—at least thinner than that of a game company.

Xiaoli is currently still sorting out the design, manufacturing, and sales process, and has handed over the project of producing a TV series for promotion to Damin—it's unclear whether it's a desperate move or a sign of confidence in her abilities—while Angela has already secured Blizzard's deal, and the agency for "World of Warcraft" is a done deal, so there's no need to spare any extra energy from her.

As mentioned before, the requirements for distributing World of Warcraft are very high. Even with Angela's support, which could bring some discounts, the discounts wouldn't be much.

Like Lee Yoon-hyung, even though she bought a Korean game company, she only gave up a few percentage points in revenue sharing and wasn't pressured to do any Sino-Korean joint venture.

In short, he has no interest in getting involved for the time being. If Sister Xiaoli wants to consult him, he will give her some advice, but she didn't. They just chatted about the current situation in general, so that's fine for now.

Then--

"That's about it. These are all potential economic growth points for the future. You don't need to put in too much capital; just test the waters. Of course, proper profit distribution is a prerequisite. It wouldn't be good if everyone ended up unhappy." In the study of his villa, Xu Jiuyang said to the woman in front of him while holding a pile of documents.

“I think there’s no problem. We should be able to come up with a solution, right?” Gai Lili took the lead.

"I'm fine with it," Jin Qiaoqiao replied with a smile.

“I agree too.” He Qing nodded in agreement.

The rest, whether it was Jiang Shan, Zheng Shuang, Zhou Haiming, Wang Luyao, or Deng Jie, all expressed their support. As for Zhao Yan, Yuan Quan, Zhang Tong, and Sun Li, they were just tools. They were on the sidelines while playing last night, and it was already a sign of tolerance that they came to listen. They shouldn't even think about expressing their opinions.

Yes, someone threw a party at home last night to celebrate the wrap-up of filming for "Chinese Paladin"—in which Zhao Yan plays the Holy Maiden and Gai Lili makes a cameo appearance as the Bai Miao chieftain.

I won't go into the details of the party, but it was pretty... When Xu Jiuyang woke up the next day, he only had one thought: if he wanted to buy a villa, he first had to consider buying one with a large enough bedroom.

Of course, you could also buy a bedroom-sized room, but one that is spacious enough to be remodeled.

The scene was so chaotic, it was nothing like the wonderful time I had with Sister Yuanyuan, Li Dabai, and Yinyin, and it wasn't even as considerate as Secretary Sanjin's.

But its advantage lies in its excitement. Imagine, you're busy in the middle, while others on the side either point and comment or imitate you, and then there are all sorts of combinations.

"If I had known, I would have called Qinqin and the others." Jin Qiaoqiao said to him after getting up.

However, Xu Jiuyang felt that she just felt she had been targeted too many times last night and wanted to call for reinforcements.

Wang Luyao, in particular, targeted her the most, to the point that Sun Li couldn't even step forward to help.

"We're all letting loose, why worry about anything else? We're similar in many ways, so I just wanted to tease her a little." Wang Luyao didn't care at all. You see, even the older sisters like He Qing and Jiang Shan were a little embarrassed this time—even though they were quite wild once they got going.

"Little Yang, you won't blame Sister Li, will you?" After everyone in the room had left, Gai Lili, who had deliberately stayed behind, asked this question.

Her eyelids were lowered, and she looked embarrassed, yet she also possessed a strange charm.

“How could that be?” Xu Jiuyang smiled. “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, and I have to thank Sister Li.”

Yes, this party was organized by Gailly, and I don't know what excuse she used to persuade them.

However, the purpose was very simple and there was no hiding anything: they wanted to get some investment ideas from him.

"As the host, isn't it wrong to show favoritism?" That's what she said.

However, the word "master" sounded strange no matter how I looked at it. I don't know if it was unintentional or intentional. These older women are really good at giving hints.

Since I've already given advice to Fan and the others, giving some more pointers to Gai Lili and the others shouldn't be a big problem.

Of course, there are definitely differences. The stocks given to Gai Lili and the others are stocks that can be held for the long term, such as Moutai, Yunnan Baiyao, China Merchants Bank, and so on.

"By the way, besides what I mentioned before, if Sister Li has any extra money, she can invest in the Hengyu Foundation in Hong Kong," Xu Jiuyang added. "The nominal chairperson is Li Jiaxin, but the behind-the-scenes boss is Angela."

Gai Lili stared at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled sweetly: "Brother Yang is indeed not a heartless man."

Xu Jiuyang coughed lightly: "This..."

Before he could finish speaking, she stepped forward and kissed him on the cheek.

"Don't worry, little brother Yang," Gai Lili chuckled, "I've seen what Sister Liu is capable of. All I want is a little autonomy. After all, she tricked me back then..."

She suddenly covered her mouth as she said this, and her eyes crinkled into a smile: "Oh dear, I shouldn't say anything bad. If they find out, I'll be in big trouble."

"Since Sister Li says so, then I can rest assured." Xu Jiuyang took a deep breath.

His suggestion that she invest in Hengyu Fund meant that she shouldn't think about doing anything big. After all, Xiaoli, Yuanyuan, Fan, Yunxin, and Angela are an ironclad alliance.

His intuition had long told him that in his, well, harem, they were the very top tier, and no other woman could ever surpass them.

“Speaking of which, last night was too rushed, and in the end there were only a few people.” Gai Lili suddenly said this, and reached out to brush a strand of hair behind her ear, her expression becoming charming again. “Next time if we are prepared, maybe we can call Caiyi, Han Mengci and the Golden Toad Ghost Mother over as well.”

“Caiyi and Han Mengci might be a possibility, but the Golden Toad Demon Mother…” Xu Jiuyang stopped before he could finish speaking, and then glared at Gai Lili with annoyance.

Gai Lili covered her mouth and laughed again: "Thank you, little brother Yang. Don't worry, I'll avoid them."

After saying that, she left the room. Xu Jiuyang could only sigh. These older women were indeed not to be trifled with.

However, considering the scene last night, if we really dragged Yin Tao and Wan Qian into it, or even...
