Life in the Light and Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chen Jinfei's real estate investments failed, causing problems with his cash flow and increasing pressure from bank loans.

These days can be described as robbing Peter to pay Paul.

In the real estate industry, if the debt exceeds 10 billion yuan, then there is no need to rush.

Because the banks are in a hurry, they are afraid you will go bankrupt, so they will help you run the company and assist you in completing the project.

They would send various gifts during holidays and festivals, and would still provide support even for refinancing.

The problem is that the amount of debt is around one billion. With that kind of loan volume, even if you go bankrupt...

The net assets on hand and the land they've hoarded are enough to pay off the bank loans.

At worst, you'll go bankrupt, but the bank will not only not lose money, it will actually make a profit.

After borrowing money from various sources, Chen Jinfei still has a shortfall of 4 million yuan without affecting the company's operations.

He didn't want to talk to Liu Xiaoli, but he couldn't resist her sharing the profits his daughter and future son-in-law made by cashing out their shares in Huayi.

Having already reached a dead end, Chen Jinfei flew to Shanghai that very night and met with Wu Yang.

Although Liu Yifei usually doesn't get involved in things, she knows that Chen Jinfei came this time to borrow money.

On one side are her family who treat her like their own daughter, and on the other side is her boyfriend who loves only her.

Most people would definitely ask their boyfriend to lend money to their family to help them through the crisis.

However, Liu Yifei, being a clear-headed person, did not have such selfish thoughts.

Moreover, the reason I didn't say anything beforehand was because I wasn't thinking clearly at the time and was prone to making decisions I would later regret.

Bring it up after it's over. A wise person's mind is clear at that moment, and making a decision then will prevent them from making a mistake!

Liu Xiaoli witnessed her daughter and Wu Yang entering the room yesterday, and this was the first time she hadn't stopped them.

It was Chen Jinfei's arrival that made her unable to contain her excitement and want to show off.

Although it was unintentional, the result will still put Wu Yang in a dilemma.

Moreover, this is 400 million, not 4 million. No one wants to lend it to Chen Jinfei, who is already in dire straits.

Haven't you noticed that all the businessmen who used to be on friendly terms with Chen Jinfei are now refusing to answer his calls?

According to her understanding, Chen Jinfei has transferred projects in many cities in the past few months.

He kept only a few plots of land with huge appreciation potential, and now he has already started selling the properties under his name.

The reason Chen Jinfei is in such a predicament is because he has been targeted and is facing resistance from higher levels.

That person didn't intend to kill Chen Jinfei, and besides, he couldn't kill him anyway; he just wanted the land in Chen Jinfei's possession.

Despite that person's considerable influence, he couldn't have predicted that Huayi would provide Chen Jinfei with such assistance at this crucial moment.

……

This was the first time Wu Yang and Chen Jinfei met, even though Chen Jinfei needed something from him.

Looking at Wu Yang, there was still a hint of scrutiny in his eyes. He and Liu Xiaoli were college classmates.

In trendy terms, Liu Xiaoli was his ideal woman.

Liu Xiaoli, who is obsessed with looks, could not win Chen Jinfei's heart no matter how hard he pursued her.

All I can say is that ugliness is the original sin!

Even though he recognized Liu Yifei as his goddaughter and treated the mother and daughter as his own.

He also established a film and television company for Liu Yifei in China, providing her with tremendous convenience for her career.

Success was still not achieved, and what could not be obtained remained forever burning.

Moreover, Liu Xiaoli also helped him make connections, enabling Chen Jinfei to obtain the renovation project in the old city of Jiangcheng.

This brought them hundreds of millions in revenue, which can be considered as repaying a favor.

Although our personal relationship is getting better and better, it can't replace love; at most, it adds a bit of kinship.

To use a modern analogy, it's like licking someone's boots until they end up with nothing!

Based on Liu Yifei's account and Wu Yang's speculation, then the woman Chen Jinfei will be dating in the future is a "green tea" (a manipulative woman).

It's probably just a replacement they're looking for after giving up entirely!

In the early stages, I indulged the green tea girl to spite the white moonlight girl, but later I realized the difference between the green tea girl and the white moonlight girl.

And then they ruthlessly abandoned them. It can only be said that no matter how successful a businessman is, once he becomes a sycophant, his IQ drops to negative numbers!

……

"This is our first meeting, and to be honest, your smile doesn't give off a very good impression."

Chen Jinfei looked at Wu Yang, who was smiling, and felt a surge of jealousy and resentment.

"It's because of my face shape. If you mind, I can choose not to smile."

Wu Yang stopped smiling and looked at Chen Jinfei, whose eye bags resembled those of a toad. He also agreed with Liu Xiaoli's aesthetic sense.

If you put yourself in someone else's shoes, you can understand how to deal with someone who is both old and ugly.

If I were to face such an ugly face every day, I probably wouldn't be able to bring myself to eat it.

Moreover, Liu Xiaoli is even more vain. Among the cases of simps succeeding in getting their hands on women, only those with high looks and handsome young men are successful.

As for those ugly dogs, they end up with nothing.

"I've come here today to discuss a collaboration with you. I have a project here..."

Chen Jinfei's business empire is indeed vast, and his projects are actually quite good, but Wu Yang doesn't want to get involved with him.

After all, every industry has its own secrets, and Wu Yang hasn't even mastered the film industry yet.

Don't aim too high and get involved in the more complex real estate industry.

Wu Yang's greatest strength is his self-awareness; he knows clearly what he is good at and what he is not good at.

"Mr. Chen, excuse me, but I know nothing about the real estate industry and have no interest in it."

"I learned from Yifei that you're facing a funding shortfall and are selling properties under your name. I'm very interested in the manor house in Shunyi District where Yifei currently lives. I wonder if you're interested in selling it?"

This is Wu Yang's real purpose for going to the meeting today, rather than investing in real estate or borrowing money.

Why not take advantage of the current low housing prices and just buy that manor house in Shunyi?

To prevent that future "green tea" girl from taking selfies at the manor and then posting them smugly, causing all sorts of trouble.

According to Wu Yang's understanding, the current market price of that manor in Shunyi District is just over 4 million yuan.

"Oh? That estate is indeed large, but its investment value is currently limited, and it lacks supporting facilities in the surrounding area. Have you heard any rumors?"

Driven by the instincts of a real estate tycoon, Chen Jinfei was tempted but did not immediately agree.

"What kind of gossip could a small-time director like me possibly have? I'm planning to buy it and give it to Yifei! So she won't have to live a life of dependence anymore!"

"Living at my place is considered being a dependent? Compared to how well I treat them, what is this?"

Chen Jinfei was like a ruffled old dog, his eyes becoming sharp.

"Otherwise what? Your relationship with Yifei is just a business partnership, and your relationship with Aunt Liu is just a personal one. But I'm different. I'm Yifei's boyfriend now, and she'll be her husband in the future, as well as Aunt Liu's son-in-law. We're family!"

Wu Yang spoke calmly, but it enraged Chen Jinfei to the point of fury.

All those years of hard work only earned him a "good person" card, even though he could use his wealth and connections to gain a slight sense of superiority over the mother and daughter.

But now, facing difficulties and having nowhere else to turn, they have come to ask the mother and daughter for help.

Chen Jinfei was already extremely frustrated, and hearing Wu Yang's words completely broke her down!
