The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 279 Paying Homage to Second Sister-in-Law! The Richest Woman in the Entertainment Industry, President Gao!
……

Dinner was very plentiful.

Firstly, Lu Zhiyuan had been working away from home for a week, so he must have been eating and sleeping poorly. To make up for it, Reba ordered him a big meal.

Secondly, it can also be considered as holding a simple welcome ceremony for Gao Yuanyuan.

However, all three remained quite silent during the meal.

Lu Zhiyuan remained silent and ate his meal with his head down.

Dilraba's so-called surprise was indeed a great surprise to him... but it was a bit too much. He had never encountered anything like this before and had no idea how to handle it.

Of course, if he followed his heart, he should be quite happy.

But would it be appropriate for him to laugh at this moment?

What would Reba think?
Gao Yuanyuan must also feel that she has been slighted.

Fortunately, Lu Zhiyuan had mastered the art of maintaining a cool and aloof demeanor, remaining expressionless no matter what he was thinking.

He makes it impossible for others to guess what he's thinking.

Needless to say, Reba kept glancing at Lu Zhiyuan and Gao Yuanyuan's faces during the meal.

Look at these two, aren't they exchanging glances?
Gao Yuanyuan made no attempt to hide her feelings, staring intently at Lu Zhiyuan.

But as usual, Lu Zhiyuan only glanced at Gao Yuanyuan briefly before lowering his head to eat, seemingly indifferent to the gift.

Reba knew perfectly well that Lu Zhiyuan was faking it.

However, Lu Zhiyuan, to save face, pretended not to care... Oh well, let it be.

"Sister, shall I get you another bowl of rice?"

At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan saw that Reba's bowl was empty and immediately went to fawn over her.

"No need. I'll just have one bowl."

Reba originally wanted to eat a second bowl, as she always has a good appetite.

However, she suddenly realized that Gao Yuanyuan was so much slimmer than her... This damn competitive spirit suddenly surged up.

She wants to be as thin as a lightning bolt!
"Zhiyuan, do you still want it?"

After being rebuffed by Reba, Gao Yuanyuan turned to look at Lu Zhiyuan.

"I can do it myself. You eat yours."

Gao Yuanyuan behaved humbly and performed better than expected, but Lu Zhiyuan never intended to bully her.

……

The meal was extremely awkward.

After dinner, Gao Yuanyuan took the initiative to clear the dishes, just like a live-in nanny.

Lu Zhiyuan pulled Reba into the room, and as if he had been holding it in for a long time, he couldn't help but say, "Reba, I think it's fine for just the two of us to live together. With another person, I feel very uncomfortable."

Haha!

I knew it!

Gao Yuanyuan wanted to force him to give it to her, and she had already agreed, but Lu Zhiyuan might not be happy about it.

"Honey, there's nothing we can do about it."

"Otherwise, if Sister Cha marries a foreigner with billions of US dollars and shares in Far East Technology, people will laugh at you for being the biggest sucker in the world."

Reba told Lu Zhiyuan to relax.

I really don't mind.

Because, a while ago, a vice president of LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. brought a team to Yanjing to discuss with Dilraba.

If it were an ordinary celebrity in the entertainment industry, they would most likely adopt a condescending attitude towards a vice president of a listed company.

but……

Behind Dilraba is the legendary director Lu Zhiyuan.

Lu Zhiyuan's earning power is among the best in the country... He can earn billions of yuan a year for companies across the entire industry chain.

His personal profitability is comparable to that of a company with a market value of hundreds of billions.

Under these circumstances, who would dare to underestimate Lu Zhiyuan?
Therefore, the vice president was very polite to Dilraba and told her a lot of inside information about the financial industry.

Why are many private enterprises, despite having high revenues and excellent corporate image, unwilling to go public?
It's important to know that after a company goes public, the owner's net worth can increase several times over.

But they choose not to go public, there must be something wrong with that.

The vice president gave Reba an example... For instance, the owner of a mineral water company in a certain place was once the richest man in the country.

Normally, this company would have been listed on the stock exchange long ago.

Why have you been delaying going public?

The reason is that the company's shares are divided into three parts.

The boss took a portion, the local government took a portion, and the remaining portion was controlled by the labor union of an old state-owned cannery.

The shares held by the three parties are roughly equal.

If any two of them join forces, they can gain absolute control of the company.

Normally, the union of a state-owned cannery should work with the local government... However, in reality, the head of the union of that state-owned enterprise was the boss's mistress!

This turned the company into a one-man show run by the boss.

Company matters have become household chores.

In fact, the relationship between the boss and his mistress was known to all the senior management in the company... and even to some local residents whose families had connections to the cannery.

However, the general public is unaware of this situation.

That boss has always had a very good public image.

If the company goes public, this shady relationship will probably be exposed immediately... which will severely damage the company's image.

For mass-market consumer goods, the boss's personal image is almost equivalent to the product's image. Once it suffers a devastating blow, it's like a massive earthquake for the company.

Therefore, this company prefers not to go public.

……

This private entrepreneur's complicated emotional issues truly shattered Dilraba's worldview.

After hearing this story, Dilraba realized how good Lu Zhiyuan had been to her... at least he allowed her to appear openly and honestly in front of the world.

At this moment, she also began to understand the boss's wife's thoughts.

This is a business that our family has worked so hard to build... how can we just give it away?
As long as the husband finds a mistress who can't even enter the house, he can still have absolute control over the company and amass billions in wealth.

Think carefully about why you're not happy about it.

That's worth tens of billions!

If you post this kind of thing online and ask the public... although some people might be stubborn and disagree, most people who have experienced the hardships of life will basically agree!
My husband is still my own, and so are my children.

The other party is nothing but a mistress who can't be seen in public, and she has to work like a slave for him!
……

Dilraba has completely figured it out.

……

"Anyway, I don't like living with three people. I'll go talk to Gao Yuanyuan for a bit later and send her home."

No matter how much Reba tried to persuade him, Lu Zhiyuan just wouldn't agree.

"OK then."

Dilraba pretended to be helpless, but she was secretly overjoyed.

Billions of dollars are not as cute as me!

My husband is so good!

"Honey, I'll dance 'A Dream of Dunhuang' for you tonight. Just to liven things up."

Overjoyed, Reba couldn't resist rewarding Lu Zhiyuan.

Lu Zhiyuan enjoys watching dancing.

She could change her routine every day and dance for Lu Zhiyuan to see.

What does it mean to be in perfect harmony?

This is!
Gao Yuanyuan is no good... She doesn't have the dance skills, she lacks core competitiveness, you know?
……

Lu Zhiyuan told Reba to rest upstairs for a while, and he personally sent Gao Yuanyuan home, determined not to let her stay overnight.

After going downstairs.

Lu Zhiyuan pulled Gao Yuanyuan into a room on the first floor.

He gently hugged Gao Yuanyuan, stroked her hair, and whispered, "Little Gao, I've heard all about the things you've done for me from Reba."

“If you give $5 million to Dilraba, it’s the same as giving it to me.”

"This love is very heavy. To be honest, I am a little overwhelmed."

The $5 million that Gao Yuanyuan transferred to Dilraba was marital property.

Lu Zhiyuan definitely had a share.

It's impossible for Dilraba to keep all that money for herself.

"Honey, I'm willing to earn money for you to spend. Just don't push me away anymore, and be a little gentler with me. I only need 20% of the gentleness you show Dilraba, that's enough."

Gao Yuanyuan hugged Lu Zhiyuan and kissed him hard.

This time, Lu Zhiyuan didn't push her away, but responded to her gently, making Gao Yuanyuan overjoyed.

There was a bed next to it, and the door was closed.

At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but want to take off Lu Zhiyuan's clothes... I've waited for 4 years, a full 4 years! God knows how I got through those 4 years!

It's crazy!

At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan felt as if a fire had been completely ignited within her.

She wanted to vent her anger.

"Xiao Gao, wait a moment."

Noticing Gao Yuanyuan's hurried actions, Lu Zhiyuan stopped her.

At this moment, a hint of doubt appeared on Gao Yuanyuan's face. Dilraba had already agreed, so what were you waiting for?
You don't want to back out, do you?

"Xiao Gao, have you ever heard this saying?"

Lu Zhiyuan told Gao Yuanyuan to calm down and not get carried away, and then slowly said, "In a story involving three people, there is always one person who is superfluous."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan blinked: "Could this be something Shakespeare said?"

Every time Lu Zhiyuan starts scolding her, he quotes Shakespeare, and Gao Yuanyuan has gotten used to it.

"No. It was another philosopher who said it. I don't know who it was."

Lu Zhiyuan shook his head and began to patiently explain, "In short, the three of us living under one roof are bound to run into problems sooner or later. Maybe the two of you will get together, and I'll become the third party."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but smile.

He started joking with me.

His corny jokes are really funny!
“I won’t let you give away your $5 million for nothing. I’ve already heard from Dilraba that you’re preparing to get involved in behind-the-scenes production and become a film producer.”

Lu Zhiyuan could understand Gao Yuanyuan's desire to step back from the limelight.

She has almost reached the pinnacle of being a female celebrity.

Moreover, she had earned enough money and reached a certain age, and was somewhat tired of the entertainment industry.

She is actually quite introverted and doesn't like to show her face in public. Most of the time, she prefers to stay at home alone.

In this respect, she's quite similar to Dilraba.

Lu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "Since you want to be a producer, come with me to Yuankun Media first thing tomorrow morning. I'll have the company's legal counsel sign an equity transfer agreement with you, transferring 20% ​​of Yuankun Media's equity to you."

Gao Yuanyuan is willing to spend money to give Reba an explanation and show him her sincerity.

Although Lu Zhiyuan, as a man, said that he would only date rich women when he was building his career, in reality, he never spent a woman's money.

A 20% stake in Yuankun Media, based on current valuations, is worth approximately 40 billion RMB.

However, within the entertainment industry, there are very few companies that can come up with 40 billion RMB at once.

Lu Zhiyuan essentially sold his company shares to Gao Yuanyuan at a 30% discount.

Even if this deal is exposed, no one will have anything to say.

All they say is that Gao Yuanyuan is rich and powerful.

As expected of Mr. Gao, a renowned technology CEO!
“Besides that, there’s a building complex called Dongshan Apartments across from Dongshan Villa. They’re all large 300-square-meter apartments. I’ve heard that the apartments are pretty good. I’ll buy you an apartment there and put it in your name as a gift.”

Lu Zhiyuan lives in Dongshan Villa, and Gao Yuanyuan lives in Dongshan Apartment.

These two residential areas are just one street apart.

When he occasionally goes out for a walk, he often passes by Dongshan Apartment.

Gao Yuanyuan lives in Dongshan Apartment, which makes it convenient for him to visit her.

Besides, it doesn't matter if I get photographed by paparazzi... Is it a problem if I just wander around near my home?

Hearing these words, Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but smile. She gently touched Lu Zhiyuan's face and teased, "Honey, did you really come up with these plans in just a moment? I have a feeling you've been planning this all along."

Lu Zhiyuan wasn't one to indulge women. He snorted coldly and retorted, "So, do you want it or not?"

of course yes!
Don't be a fool!
If she were just to be Lu Zhiyuan's mistress, she probably wouldn't get any benefits after she gets old and loses her looks.

But Lu Zhiyuan was willing to give him company shares and even buy him a luxury mansion in his own name... The price he paid was not small.

Where money flows, love flows.

Lu Zhiyuan is using concrete evidence to prove that he has a place in his heart.

Instead of just going through the motions.

"Honey, I knew I would be happy with you. It was worth waiting for you for four years."

At that moment, Gao Yuanyuan felt that everything had been worthwhile.

After all these years, she has finally found a good man!
"In that case, you have to grant me one small request. Don't publicize our relationship; I don't want my private life exposed."

Lu Zhiyuan was afraid that Gao Yuanyuan might act impulsively and go to Zhou Xun to show off.

Zhou Xun, that big mouth, might tell Chen Kun. And Chen Kun will pass it on to others... It might not even take three days for the whole world to know.

"Honey, I'm not stupid. I definitely won't go around telling everyone. Besides, what's the point of talking about this? Let's just live our own lives."

Gao Yuanyuan immediately nodded in agreement.

However, after a while, Gao Yuanyuan hesitated and said, "But, honey, even if I don't say anything, I feel like I can't hide it from anyone. The way I look at you is impossible to conceal."

"As long as we don't admit it, let others guess as they please."

People can say whatever they want, and Lu Zhiyuan can't control that, but he just shouldn't make it public knowledge and create public pressure.

"Hubby, I'll listen to you."

Like Dilraba, Gao Yuanyuan is not only beautiful and has a great figure, but also has a great temperament and a very gentle personality.

Besides that, the two have one thing in common.

Their parents came from very warm and happy families.

Children from happy families tend to have very gentle personalities and a strong desire for family and marriage.

Dilraba is like that, and so is Gao Yuanyuan.

As for negative examples... let's not mention Lu Zhiyuan.

Girls from complicated family relationships tend to be very sensitive, arrogant yet insecure, neurotic, and difficult to approach.

Although Lu Zhiyuan is very ambitious when it comes to his career, he is also a very gentle and considerate person in his personal life and rarely gets angry with others.

He generally doesn't use profanity when he curses.

Therefore, even though Gao Yuanyuan was scolded by him five or six times, she still thought he was a very good person.

Because even when he curses, he quotes Shakespeare.

……

Lu Zhiyuan demonstrated his exceptional emotional intelligence, managing to reach an agreement with both sides within half an hour.

And then, he began to enjoy it.

"Honey, is the pressure I applied to your shoulders comfortable?"

Lu Zhiyuan sat on the sofa, intending to lean back and rest for a while.

After all, he spent a week on a business trip in Japan, visiting many places and drawing a lot of concept art, so he was quite tired.

Back home, he naturally wanted to get some rest.

At this moment, perhaps because Gao Yuanyuan was watching from the side, Dilraba very attentively massaged his shoulders and gently asked him how his technique was.
"Honey, how's the water temperature for washing your feet? Is the pressure I'm applying when I massage your feet okay?"

Dilraba is not the only one.

Gao Yuanyuan was probably new here and wanted to make a big splash.

She brought Lu Zhiyuan water to wash his feet, and specially took out some special herbs from her bag. She half-squatted next to the sofa, rolled up her sleeves, and helped Lu Zhiyuan wash his feet.

Seeing this, Dilraba was speechless. Gao Yuanyuan was really trying too hard to show off... washing his feet herself?
Do you really have to work this hard?!

"Xiao Gao, stop tickling my feet, it's too itchy. I'll wash them myself."

Gao Yuanyuan washed his feet, but Lu Zhiyuan was truly not worthy of such treatment.

Feeling uncomfortable all over.

He pretended his feet were itchy and asked Gao Yuanyuan to sit on the sofa for a while, promising to take her home later.

"Honey, shall I go and do the laundry for you?"

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't stay still at all and wanted to show off her abilities.

"I don't even know your size yet. I'll take a look myself so I'll know what size to wear next time I find something suitable in the mall."

After saying that, Gao Yuanyuan hurriedly went to help Lu Zhiyuan wash his clothes without waiting for Lu Zhiyuan's reply.

As soon as Gao Yuanyuan left, Dilraba stopped massaging his shoulders and sat down next to Lu Zhiyuan, pouting with a helpless look: "Honey, I'm starting to regret it."

Gao Yuanyuan's performance was so good that Dilraba realized that she couldn't compete with Gao Yuanyuan in the gentle and considerate category.

After all, Gao Yuanyuan has experienced the pain of heartbreak.

I know it's not easy to find a good man.

"It's okay, I'll take her home in a bit."

Lu Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly: "Gao Yuanyuan's actions make me feel a bit guilty, like an ancient landlord."

Dilraba couldn't help but laugh: "Honey, if you're the landlord, then I'm the landlady, right? Should I get a beauty mark on the corner of my mouth?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

On the first day of their new life, all three of them were a little unaccustomed to it.

The atmosphere at home is a little strange.

Fortunately, after washing his feet, Lu Zhiyuan put on his shoes and drove Gao Yuanyuan home.

Dilraba finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, she was just pretending to be strong; she was actually quite upset inside.

……

Lu Zhiyuan took Gao Yuanyuan home.

"Honey, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?" Gao Yuanyuan stood at the door and invited Lu Zhiyuan.

Have tea?

Which cup of tea are you drinking?

Lu Zhiyuan knew perfectly well what was going on.

He hesitated for a moment, then followed Gao Yuanyuan into the room, closed the door, hugged her head, and kissed her.

"Honey, why don't you stay with me tonight?"

Gao Yuanyuan really couldn't hold it in any longer.

The allure was like poison, truly deadly. The scent emanating from Lu Zhiyuan made her feel like she was about to erupt like a volcano.

Are you still afraid I'll run away?

Lu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head, then said, "I know about your agreement with Dilraba. When I'm not working, I'll stay with Dilraba. When we go out to work, you, as the producer, will accompany me."

"Since it's an agreement, it's best to keep it."

Rules are rules.

People who break the rules usually don't have a good outcome.

"Honey, you're so rigid, like a robot. But I love it."

Lu Zhiyuan dislikes breaking rules, which means he won't mess around outside.

Gao Yuanyuan waited patiently for four years to become the second sister-in-law, racking her brains and exhausting all her efforts. She gave gifts to Xin Yukun and money to Reba, all in secret, not daring to let Jing Tian know.

Today, my wish has finally come true, and I have become the second sister-in-law.

Next, she will definitely join forces with Reba to keep a close watch and absolutely not allow Third Sister-in-law to appear!

Lu Zhiyuan's rigidity and adherence to rules are the biggest advantage for the two of them.

"Honey, before you leave, can you kiss me one more time? Start lightly and gradually deepen, wetting my lips, then slowly open my teeth, our breaths mingling... While we're kissing, I want you to touch my hair and deeply inhale my perfume."

Gao Yuanyuan guided Lu Zhiyuan step by step, like teaching a primary school student, wanting him to develop himself.

"You talk too much nonsense. Do you think I'm your toy?"

"I'm leaving." Lu Zhiyuan wasn't going to put up with Gao Yuanyuan, so he turned and left.

Gao Yuanyuan was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Watching Lu Zhiyuan's departing figure and hearing the thud of the door closing, she could only think, "That back view is really cool."

Even his departure was so graceful.

After Lu Zhiyuan left, Gao Yuanyuan immediately called her older brother: "Brother, he gave me 20% of Yuankun Media's shares and bought me a large apartment in Dongshan. Do you think he's sincere towards me?"

"It's true, absolutely true. Please don't ask anymore!"

Gao Yuanyuan's older brother answered the phone, said three sentences, and then hung up.

Gao Yuanyuan tried to call again, but the line was constantly busy and she couldn't get through.

A while later, Gao Yuanyuan received a text message.

—【Little sister, feelings may change, but money won't. He gave you 20% of his most prized production company. Isn't that enough to prove everything?】

For Lu Zhiyuan, Yuankun Media is his lifeline.

Because all his filming teams, including the veterans who have followed him for many years, are under the umbrella of Yuankun Media.

With this company, he truly became a great director, Lu Zhiyuan.

Without this company, it would take him a lot of time to rebuild and develop his team.

Dilraba has never received any shares in Yuankun Media.

"Brother, answer the phone! Don't text. I'm so excited I can't sleep tonight, I want to chat with someone. But I don't dare call my friends in the industry, I'm afraid they'll let something slip."

Gao Yuanyuan's older brother knows everything, and she is not afraid that her older brother will talk about it to others.

Her older brother's words are just as reliable as Lu Zhiyuan's.

Intelligent people seem to share a common trait: they can keep secrets. Foolish people, on the other hand, love to blabber and spread rumors everywhere.

"I'm working overtime to earn money for your baby formula!"

Gao Yuanyuan's older brother clearly didn't want to talk to his sister about these things, and with a single sentence, he cut off Gao Yuanyuan's urge to chat.

Yes.

I've found a husband, and now it's time to have a baby.

Give Lu Zhiyuan a baby robot so he can play with drones and robot dogs from a young age.

……

Gao Yuanyuan was so excited she couldn't sleep, spending nights daydreaming about how happy and fulfilling her life would be from then on.

The next morning, she had dark circles under her eyes, but looked extremely excited as she accompanied Lu Zhiyuan to Yuankun Media.

Let's give the Empress of the West Palace a real show of power!
Lu Zhiyuan called all the company's key personnel, both at the middle and upper levels, to the conference room and solemnly introduced them to everyone: "This is Ms. Gao Yuanyuan, I believe everyone knows her."

"Ms. Gao Yuanyuan has purchased 20% of the company's shares from me for US$5 million, officially becoming the second largest shareholder of Yuankun Media."

"From now on, Ms. Gao Yuanyuan will become the Executive Vice President of Yuankun Media. All matters, big and small, that are to be decided by Ms. Gao Yuanyuan and Brother Kun when I am not present will be discussed and decided by vote."

When the film starts production, Gao Yuanyuan will be the producer.

However, the producer position is temporary; there is one producer per film, and it is not necessarily permanent.

But the company's executive vice president is second only to the president, and above everyone else.

"Let's give Mr. Gao a warm round of applause."

Yuankun Media is essentially a one-man show run by Lu Zhiyuan.

If he were to appoint a random outsider as the company's executive vice president, many middle and senior managers might agree on the surface, but privately they might have some objections.

But this person was Gao Yuanyuan. Although everyone had some doubts, they immediately understood after a moment's thought.

Gao Yuanyuan and Lu Zhiyuan own a technology company called Yuan Technology.

Now, it's only natural that Lu Zhiyuan would sell a portion of his Yuankun Media shares to Gao Yuanyuan, allowing her to move from the forefront to behind the scenes.

After thinking for a while, everyone applauded in welcome.

"President Gao, please take good care of me in the future!"

"Mr. Gao's business acumen is beyond question. With Mr. Gao joining the company, it will surely flourish on the business front."

After the movie "Art Students", Gao Yuanyuan became almost the second female star in the entertainment industry after Dilraba.

Her joining the company is naturally a good thing.

Moreover, these shares were not given to Gao Yuanyuan by Lu Zhiyuan for free; Gao Yuanyuan bought them herself for 5 million US dollars!
Many people even think that if they had 5 million US dollars, wouldn't it be great to go out and live a life of luxury?
Only a madman would buy 20% of Yuankun Media's shares!
Only a small number of people in the entire company vaguely guessed what the truth was.

……

After the conference concluded.

Xin Yukun, Su Lun, and Guo Fan, Gao Yuanyuan's old friends, surrounded her, their eyes revealing ambiguous feelings.

"Mr. Gao, shouldn't I call you sister-in-law from now on?"

Xin Yukun joked there.

"Brother Kun, this is a company, please address me by my job title. What do you mean by 'sister-in-law'? If you spread rumors about this, I'll never forgive you!"

Gao Yuanyuan reprimanded Xin Yukun in a serious tone, but couldn't help but smile.

I will never admit it anyway.

But those who know her basically guessed it.

"Mr. Gao, to celebrate your appointment as our company's executive vice president, in a couple of days, I'd like to invite all our friends in the industry over for a grand welcome ceremony, ostensibly to celebrate the success of the film 'Art Students.' What do you think?"

Xin Yukun knew that Lu Zhiyuan was not a person who liked to be too high-profile, especially in his personal life.

However, Xin Yukun understood women's minds very well.

How could Gao Yuanyuan not want to show off?
She's probably going crazy wanting to show off her relationship! So, he found a very suitable reason for Gao Yuanyuan.

A celebration party for the film "Art Students".

The movie has been in theaters for a month and has already grossed over $7.2 million. It should easily add tens of millions more along the way.

With $7.2 million, it broke the box office record for the highest-grossing art film in history, enough to throw a celebration party.

And the female protagonist of this celebration banquet was naturally Gao Yuanyuan.

I believe that at this time, Dilraba would be willing to give Gao Yuanyuan some face and take the initiative to disappear for a while, for example, to go back to her hometown to visit relatives.

Give Gao Yuanyuan a dignified ceremony to greatly enhance her presence in the public eye.

"Brother Kun, thank you. However, for this kind of thing, we need to consult with our General Manager Lu."

Gao Yuanyuan adheres to the traditional mindset of a woman following her husband's wishes after marriage. Although, she secretly longs to show off their affection!
She wanted to tell the whole world that Li Wen had finally ended up with Wu Xiuqing.

As for Hybna...

Just pretend the other person is dead.

She didn't mind that her husband had a deceased ex-wife.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Gao. I'll go and consult with our General Manager Lu."

Xin Yukun winked at Gao Yuanyuan, then turned to look for Lu Zhiyuan.

Seeing Lu Zhiyuan in his office signing off on all the backlog of company documents... Xin Yukun knocked on the door and then closed it.

"Brother, that's awesome!"

Xin Yukun gave Lu Zhiyuan two thumbs up and asked with admiration, "How did you do it? How did Reba agree? How did Gao Yuanyuan agree?"

Dilraba is the first leading actress in film history, destined to be remembered in history.

Gao Yuanyuan is now the leading actress in the first-ever art film, and also the founder of Yuan Technology. Her dual identity as a female star and a technology CEO makes her a unique figure in the entertainment industry!
Beauty and brains combined!
She is ranked number one on various male-dominated ranking websites.

On websites primarily frequented by women, Dilraba is very popular... After all, her portrayal of Empress Alita is just too perfect for the role of a strong female lead!

Lu Zhiyuan essentially turned the two most popular female celebrities among both male and female audiences into his confidantes.

"I do not know."

Lu Zhiyuan shrugged; he genuinely didn't know.

Before he went home... Dilraba and Gao Yuanyuan had already reached an agreement.

He essentially got a lucky break.

Did nothing.

“Brother, I know that such a peerless skill cannot be passed on to others indiscriminately, lest it cause harm to the martial arts world and cultivate a great demon.”

"But we're brothers! You didn't even tell me? That's a bit unfair!"

Xin Yukun really wanted to know.

He has always greatly admired Lu Zhiyuan in this regard.

Over the years, Lu Zhiyuan has never taken the initiative to pick up girls; in fact, he exudes an aura of misogyny...

However, Lu Zhiyuan occasionally exudes a bit of charm, which is enough to attract girls to actively pursue him.

He could never learn this unparalleled skill.

"I really don't know. Please don't ask."

After denying it three times, Lu Zhiyuan couldn't help but emphasize, "Also, my relationship with President Gao is not the kind you're thinking of."

"Not that kind of relationship? What kind of relationship are you talking about?" Lu Zhiyuan's stubbornness made Xin Yukun laugh.

"Your relationship can't be hidden from anyone. The way she looks at you is exactly the feeling of newlyweds."

Xin Yukun shook his head and said nothing more.

Then, he mentioned to Lu Zhiyuan the celebration banquet for the movie "Art Students".

"can."

A victory celebration banquet is a must.

On the one hand, it's an announcement of the company's achievements; on the other hand, it's also a chance to catch up with some partners and discuss new projects.

As for making Gao Yuanyuan the leading lady at the celebration banquet, Lu Zhiyuan thought about it and agreed.

It's just once anyway.

Dilraba would probably agree.

……

“Our brother Yuan agreed.”

Xin Yukun walked out the door, smiled, and found Gao Yuanyuan, bringing her some good news.

"Mr. Gao, let me arrange an office for you."

Xin Yukun led Gao Yuanyuan around the company, then couldn't help but mutter, "Our company is so big, how come we don't have a vice president position? What are the administrative departments doing?"

"Even though there isn't a suitable office, we can't let our General Manager Gao suffer."

Xin Yukun looked around and saw that there were many empty offices, but he just wouldn't assign one to Gao Yuanyuan.

Then, he said to Gao Yuanyuan with great helplessness, "Our CEO Lu's office is quite big, and he only comes to the company once a month at most."

"To avoid waste, Mr. Gao, you can use Mr. Lu's office for your daily work. I'll have someone add an extra desk for you next to it."

After speaking, Xin Yukun turned to look around.

No one else had an opinion.

Kun is right. Yuan never comes to the company office. He's either filming outside or messing around with his special effects company at [Black Hole Horizon].

His office is just sitting empty anyway, so it's fine to leave it to General Manager Gao.

"Hey administration, did you hear me? Go find a table and put it in Mr. Lu's office right now."

After giving instructions to the HR department, Xin Yukun said to Gao Yuanyuan, "President Gao, do you think my arrangement is acceptable?"

"I will reluctantly accept your arrangement."

Gao Yuanyuan said it in a cold and indifferent tone, but inwardly she wanted to burst into laughter.

Well done, Kun!

From now on, my husband and I will be in the same office, and every day at work will be a time for us to date!
It's absolutely perfect.

……

After a few minutes.

The administrative department arranged a desk for Gao Yuanyuan in Lu Zhiyuan's office.

"Mr. Gao, please try it out first. If you're not satisfied with this table, I'll have someone replace it for you later."

The head of the administrative department has virtually no presence within the company.

After all, this is a film and television production company.

Her intention to curry favor with Gao Yuanyuan, the vice president, was obvious.

"Thanks a lot."

Gao Yuanyuan, mimicking Lu Zhiyuan, nodded aloofly and uttered polite words.

After everyone left, she closed the office door and gently locked it from the inside.

Then, Gao Yuanyuan went straight over, hugged Lu Zhiyuan's neck, kissed him, and said affectionately, "Honey, I suddenly feel that dating at the company is so exciting!"

Lu Zhiyuan put one arm around Gao Yuanyuan, letting her sit on his lap, while quickly flipping through the accounts with his other hand.

"Yuanyuan, don't bother me yet. Let me finish reviewing these accounts. From now on, you will be in charge of these accounts. If the accounts are not correct, it will be our family's money that is lost."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan immediately stopped bothering Lu Zhiyuan.

She also received 20% of the losses!

……

After a while, Gao Yuanyuan realized that working at the company was completely meaningless.

Because Lu Zhiyuan was always keeping accounts.

If the calculations don't seem right, call the person over and check the items one by one.

In addition to these expense accounts, there are also some miscellaneous copyright revenues.

In short, Gao Yuanyuan was overwhelmed by what she saw.

“Yuanyuan, from now on, you will need to clean up these accounts every week. This is your biggest task at the company.”

The accounts of film and television companies are more complex than those of ordinary companies.

Because each film and television project will set up a separate company to collect investments from all parties and calculate the expenses of each project.

At first, when the company didn't have many projects, things were relatively easy.

However, as Yuankun Media expands its projects, various miscellaneous expenses also increase, which can be quite a headache.

I imagine even professional accountants would find it very annoying.

Dilraba didn't have the patience to look at these accounts, so when Gao Yuanyuan offered to help her, she immediately agreed.

"Honey, don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of the company."

Gao Yuanyuan glanced at the accounts, and they were so complicated that she questioned her intelligence.

but it does not matter.

She turned around and asked her older brother to introduce her to a few top finance graduates from Tsinghua University.

……

Lu Zhiyuan spent the entire day doing accounting.

It has absolutely nothing to do with artistic creation.

But for some reason, Gao Yuanyuan just felt that Lu Zhiyuan was especially handsome when he was working.

Even when he's using a calculator instead of drawing, he still looks cool.

After all, Yuankun Media's profit last year... was a staggering 20 billion!
Real Steel 3 brought Lu Zhiyuan nearly $2 million in revenue.

The copyright revenue from his previous works brought Lu Zhiyuan tens of millions of US dollars in income every month.

Profits approaching $3 million a year!

Even if someone is a complete idiot, sitting there doing accounts would look cool... not to mention, all of this money was earned by Lu Zhiyuan himself.

Gao Yuanyuan felt she had hit the jackpot!

If Lu Zhiyuan chooses to receive dividends from his 20% stake, she could immediately receive 4 million yuan.

Not to mention, she also gained such a handsome and talented husband.

……

The news that Gao Yuanyuan had become the second largest shareholder of Yuankun Media quickly spread throughout the industry.

Gao Yuanyuan even made headlines in the financial sector.

—[Tech CEO Gao Yuanyuan wins over renowned director Lu Zhiyuan with a $5 million offer, acquiring a 20% stake in Yuankun Media!]

Yuankun Media was previously valued at 200 billion RMB in the capital market.

Many people think it's overrated.

But at this moment, Gao Yuanyuan took out 5 million US dollars and acquired 20% of Yuankun Media's shares... This means that Yuankun Media is worth at least 25 billion US dollars, or 150 billion RMB!

Gao Yuanyuan's investment in Yuankun Media has sparked widespread discussion due to the large amount of money involved.

"Gao Yuanyuan is actually that rich?"

"She wasn't particularly famous before, how did she earn so much money? I never imagined being a celebrity could be so lucrative?"

"Don't be silly, upstairs. Being a celebrity does make money, but at most tens of millions a year. Want to earn 5 million US dollars? I suggest you keep dreaming."

"Let me give you some background information... I'm just jumping in from the military section to watch the show, and there's a rumor that Gao Yuanyuan sold 30% of her shares in Yuan Technology. Yuan Technology was previously valued at 200 billion RMB."

"My God! Doesn't Gao Yuanyuan have 60 billion RMB in her hands?"

"I never imagined that Gao Yuanyuan was richer than Dong Mingzhu!"

The conclusion that Gao Yuanyuan is richer than Dong Mingzhu caused a sensation across the entire internet.

I don't know, I was taken aback.

Gao Yuanyuan is practically the richest woman in the entertainment industry!

Compared to Gao Yuanyuan's generosity in donating 5 million US dollars, the previous four richest women in the entertainment industry, namely Bingxue, Wei, and Tian, ​​seem insignificant.

Those people may have great wealth and backgrounds, but who can easily come up with 5 million US dollars?
This is cash!

……

Netizens commented that Gao Yuanyuan is incredibly wealthy, and in some ways, she has surpassed the traditional four richest women in the entertainment industry.

From then on, Gao Yuanyuan became the richest woman in the entertainment industry!

Netizens no longer refer to Gao Yuanyuan by her real name, but instead uniformly call her "President Gao," showing respect for the richest woman in China.

But what about the other people in the entertainment industry? When they heard that Gao Yuanyuan had spent so much money to invest in Yuankun Media... and that Lu Zhiyuan had actually sold his shares?
This is incredible.

For Lu Zhiyuan, Yuankun Media is absolutely not for sale.

He's not short of money!
Even Jing Tian only partnered with Lu Zhiyuan to open YT Pictures, and did not receive any shares in Yuankun Media.

This news is extremely jarring to those with ulterior motives!

……

"Brother Kun, tell me honestly, what's the situation between Gao Yuanyuan and Zhiyuan?"

After filming "Your Name," Liu Shishi, who had finally gotten to play the leading lady in a movie, was in a very good mood.

Because Lu Zhiyuan promised her that he would help her win the Best Actress award at the Tokyo International Film Festival.

She was overjoyed.

Little did anyone know, she was learning flower arranging at home, occasionally playing the piano and dancing, living the life of a lively and adorable couch potato... when she heard this bombshell news.

Gao Yuanyuan inexplicably acquired 20% of Yuankun Media's shares... Liu Shishi sensed something amiss.

"Shishi, I don't know."

Faced with Liu Shishi, Xin Yukun could only pretend to be stupid.

In this situation, what can he say?
He strongly supported Gao Yuanyuan becoming Lu Zhiyuan's second sister-in-law... Initially, he even wanted to support Gao Yuanyuan becoming Lu Zhiyuan's legal wife.

It's because Gao Yuanyuan has a great personality, comes from a scholarly family, has excellent genes, and even collaborated with Lu Zhiyuan on a robotics company.

Lu Zhiyuan and Gao Yuanyuan's older brother were inseparable, even sharing everything; they were close friends despite their age difference.

From any perspective, Gao Yuanyuan is a perfect match for Lu Zhiyuan.

However, Dilraba then emerged as a surprise contender.

Xin Yukun also supports Dilraba.

After all, Dilraba is their company's cash cow, and her interests are tied to all of theirs, making her seem more suitable than Gao Yuanyuan.

However, he also knew that if he didn't reveal any of his true secrets, Liu Shishi would definitely hold him back and might even cry in front of him.

Left with no other choice, Xin Yukun said, "Two days ago, A Yuan sold 20% of the company's shares to Gao Yuanyuan for 5 million US dollars, and then appointed Gao Yuanyuan as the executive vice president of our Yuankun Media in front of the company's senior management."

That's all I can tell you.

Xin Yukun believed that if Liu Shishi's IQ was not lower than 80, she should have understood his subtext.

"Brother Kun, I understand. Thank you."

Liu Shishi understood perfectly.

So sad!
My idol broke his vow...

In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation and had an affair with Gao Yuanyuan!
Moreover, he was completely devoted to Gao Yuanyuan, his mistress. He even transferred some of his company shares to her!

What does it mean?
Do I have to support her for the rest of my life?
I'm not convinced!

It was obviously me who came first!
If you're looking for a mistress, you should come to me first!
Although I may not agree... but you're not even going to give it a try, are you looking down on me?
