A Top-Tier Life Begins with Sarcastic Phrases

Chapter 165 Investment

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yun chuckled. He Ling had invited him many times, but he always seemed to be too busy.

"Let's go when [Da Feng] wants to do some promotion."

Knowing that Zeng Shunxi was recording a program, Gu Yun planned to watch some videos and talk to him after he finished recording.

As a result, I ended up chatting with Wang Chu for quite a while.

Gu Yun typed: "Wang Chuanchuan dares to slack off even when recording a program?"

"It's alright, it's just hide-and-seek now. I'll hide and send messages, it'll be fine."

Wang Chu sent a smug fox emoji, and then emphasized, "Gu Yun, you heard me say I was going to choose you?"

"What do you mean, 'choose me'? Didn't you hear me?"

Gu Yun did hear it, but he interrupted Wang Chu at the time.

"Stop pretending! You're laughing!"

Knowing that Gu Yun had heard the news he was about to say, Wang Chu finally put down his phone with satisfaction: "Alright, off to record the show, bye-bye, you pervert!"

About an hour later, the recording of the latest episode of "Hello Saturday" was completed.

As soon as the stencil was finished, Zhang Wanyi hurriedly got into the company car.

"Is that all? You're not going to follow our plan?"

'

The agent looked at Zhang Wanyi's displeased expression and asked in confusion.

"I'm not in the mood for that anymore. Gu Yun found out about my cross-dressing persona, so I need to get back to the company and deal with it."

Zhang Wanyi's expression was grave: "We absolutely cannot let the momentum pick up!"

Zhang Wanyi and her agent had originally planned to send Wang Chu back to his hotel after the show's recording, creating a romantic CP persona.

Modern historical romance dramas, regardless of whether they are detective, suspenseful, or anything else, all follow the same formula.

They mostly use the marketing of handsome men and beautiful women as couples to create hype, increase buzz, and attract viewers.

This has become a formulaic playing style.

Because a large number of fans of popular celebrities came to support them and cheered them on.

It's becoming increasingly rare for shows like "Ninefold Purple" to use iconic scenes featuring Gu Yun as the Crown Prince for promotional purposes.

"Gu Yun, isn't he not on this episode?" the agent asked, puzzled.

Zhang Wanyi gritted her teeth: "When I was on live stream, I got connected with him and he gave me a really disgusting beating."

"I see—"

The agent, seeing Zhang Wanyi's ashen face, worried that he might act impulsively: "Right now, we need to play it safe. There's no need to target Gu Yun. Getting promoted is the most important thing!"

"I know."

Zhang Wanyi lowered her voice.

He was born in 94 and studied at Yenching Film Academy. In his sophomore year, he landed his first role as the third male lead in a TV series.

She subsequently appeared in several dramas.

From historical dramas to period romances, it has always been a small hit that has gained wider popularity.

It wasn't until 23, when the first season of "Longing for Each Other" became a huge hit, that he saw hope of breaking into the top tier!

In 24, he missed the opportunity to be promoted to a top-tier position because he didn't have any high-end endorsements, wasting a whole year.

This year, he doesn't want to miss out again.

"Gu Yun—you're lucky this time."

"Old Gu, what do you want?"

Zeng Shunxi returned to the hotel and immediately called Gu Yun.

During the recording of the program that evening, Gu Yun's high EQ helped Wang Chu out of an awkward situation, which improved Wang Chu's impression of Gu Yun even more, and he addressed Gu Yun more affectionately.

"I want to do business with you—"

Gu Yun briefly explained how he learned about Moker's bankruptcy and how he later found out that the company had changed owners.

Gu Yun didn't hide anything from Zeng Shunxi. This young master was genuine and not stupid. If you tried to play tricks, you would only increase his resentment.

"That investment company really is mine."

Zeng Shunxi laughed and said, "Actually, we originally planned to call it Shunxi Film Industry, but it didn't sound very good, so we simply called it Shunshui."

"May everything go smoothly and may you be blessed with good fortune; it's an auspicious phrase."

Gu Yun had already witnessed the young master's capriciousness, so he was no longer surprised by this.

"How much are you planning to invest?"

When Zeng Shunxi asked, he didn't laugh or joke when they got down to business; instead, he was very serious: "I plan to invest 20 million in this company first."

No wonder he's a rich second-generation, investing 20 million without hesitation.

"I'll offer two million—I only have two million on me right now."

Gu Yun only has two million yuan on hand right now. He just paid the down payment for the house this morning. He hasn't even received his salary as a regular guest on "Departure 3" yet. That's all the money he has.

Gu Yun didn't intend to become a major shareholder; he just wanted to invest some shares and become a small shareholder.

When he has more money later, Gu Yun can consider whether to buy more shares and become a small investor, depending on the company's profit and loss situation.

"Two million —"

Zeng Shunxi was silent for a few seconds, then quickly said, "Okay, but I estimate you can only get a maximum of 10% of the company's shares."

"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics either. Here's what I'll do: I'll have the person in charge talk to you about this after New Year's Day."

"The one in charge?" Gu Yun asked in surprise. "Aren't you the one in charge?"

Who likes sitting in an office all day?

Zeng Shunxi complained, "I'm a boss, not someone who suffers while running a company. Besides, I still have to be a celebrity, so I don't have time to manage things."

"Who's in charge?"

"My sister."

When Zeng Shunxi mentioned her older sister, her voice softened: "When I was little, she always cleaned up my messes. This time, when she heard that I was starting a company and asked her to be the CEO, she came."

Gu Yun laughed: "The process wasn't that smooth, was it?"

Zeng Shunxi: "Ahem, I did get a lot of criticism, but the result was good, wasn't it?"

The next day, Gu Yun called Huang Ming.

"What's wrong?"

Huang Ming had just finished spending Christmas with his wife, and his voice sounded a little listless.

"There's something I need your help with."

Company shares and other such messy matters are things that Huang Ming, being a seasoned veteran, definitely knows more about than Gu Yun.

Therefore, Gu Yun plans to bring Huang Ming along for the chat.

After that, Gu Yun called Guo Qilin again and asked him to help find a reliable lawyer.

"I can arrange for you to hire a lawyer, but why do you need one? Why don't you tell me what happened?"

Guo Qilin asked.

"It's nothing, I'm just preparing to invest and become a minority shareholder."

Gu Yun explained the situation to Guo Qilin.

"Okay, it's good that everything's alright. Leave this to me. You can contact me when you return to Yanjing."

In the afternoon, Gu Yun went to help out at his family's shop.

After returning home and lying in bed for several days, Gu Yun felt like he was going to rot.

Being fed six dishes and a soup every day by my parents, anyone else would have gained weight.

Fortunately, Gu Yun has a special ability that allows him to eat whatever he wants without gaining weight, and he always has a perfect body proportion!

When Gu Yun was serving food while wearing a mask, he was accidentally recognized by fans.

"Gu Yun?!"

The two female college students were so surprised they couldn't close their mouths until Gu Yun handed them the autograph and they took a photo together before they came to their senses.

They were just out shopping and exploring stores on Sunday when they unexpectedly ran into Gu Yun!

"The Crown Prince in 'Ninefold Purple' is so handsome!"

The girl wearing glasses exclaimed excitedly, "Can we film another movie with Sister Meng? I'm such a fan of you two!"
