“Hmm?” Jiang Xu slightly frowned, peering warily at Zhou Qingyue.

Upon hearing these words, his initial reaction was – what was this woman up to now?

In hushed, rapid speech, Zhou Qingyue said, ”1 met Xinghe Entertainment’s third-largest shareholder’s son not long ago.

He’s pursuing me, and he let slip some important information.

His dad is planning to sell his shares in Xinghe Entertainment.

I know you have grand ambitions, and I’m certain you wouldn’t miss this opportunity.”

A notion stirred in Jiang Xu’s mind.

This news was indeed of significant value to him.

Therefore, he said, “Let’s talk more after I get off stage.”

Zhou Qingyue’s mouth slightly curled into a smile as she released her hold.

Jiang Xu, holding a golden Buddha statue that weighed two jins, said a few words of acceptance and stepped off the stage.

Dinner formally started.

Most of the people were attracted by Chen Xueyi and Zhou Qingyue.

They were all hovering around them.

Chen Xueyi seemed to be managing effortlessly.

Zhou Qingyue also had plenty of experience in this, showing no signs of stage fright.

Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo stayed in a corner.

They were nearly full.

Jiang Xu handed the Buddha statue to An Nuonuo: “This is for you.”

“It’s too valuable,” An Nuonuo shook her head.

Jiang Xu nodded: “Alright, then I’ll give it to Zhou Qingyue later.”

The next second, the Buddha statue was in An Nuonuo’s hand.

Even though Nuonuo knew that Jiang Xu said this on purpose, her mouth still puckered, as if she could hang a bottle from it.

Jiang Xu started to laugh out loud.

A moment later, Wang Xiaoyuan walked over, one hand holding a glass of red wine and the other holding several red wine glasses.

She placed the glasses on the table and poured three glasses: “To the three of us.”

Jiang Xu smiled and shook his head: “We’ll just drink cola, the color is similar.”

Wang Xiaoyuan laughed: “That works.”

After finishing her drink, Wang Xiaoyuan smoothly sat next to An Nuonuo.

The two girls started chatting.

Wang Xiaoyuan was quite fond of Nuonuo.

If Jiang Xu wasn’t so powerful, she would definitely have helped her brother win Nuonuo over.

On the other side, Liu Yue watched Chen Xueyi and Zhou Qingyue getting surrounded by the crowd, and gently shook her head.

She decided not to join them and her gaze wandered around.

She quickly found Jiang Xu and the others in the corner.

She carried her wine glass over.

As she walked in,

When Liu Yue saw Nuonuo, she paused.

It felt as if she was suddenly given a punch.

As a woman, she found Nuonuo’s face flawless.

Although she’d seen Nuonuo when she accompanied Zhou Qingyue to the school lecture last time,

seeing her again still left her stunned.

From her professional perspective,

If Nuonuo entered show business, her achievements would surely surpass Zhou Qingyue’s.

After all, she had never met a girl as attractive, innocent, and spirited as Nuonuo.

Pausing momentarily, Liu Yue approached them.

After greeting them, she sat down and joined Nuonuo and Wang Xiaoyuan’s conversation.

A little later, Jiang Xu saw Zhou Qingyue leave alone in the elevator.

He said something before getting up and heading her way.

He saw the elevator go down to the basement.

By the time Jiang Xu reached the basement, Zhou Qingyue was already waiting there.

Jiang Xu cut straight to the chase: “What do you wish to gain?”

Zhou Qingyue’s lips curved into a smile: “What if I said I wanted you, would you comply?”

“Let’s stick to the matter at hand.” Jiang Xu’s tone was neutral: “I’m not in the mood to joke.”

“Get in the car. If anyone sees us here, it won’t look good for me.”

Jiang Xu followed her into a car worth over two million.

Zhou Qingyue didn’t beat around the bush and bluntly said, “I can act as the mediator and arrange a meeting with the third shareholder.

Besides, I can also vouch for you in front of his son, helping close the deal.”

The terms are simple, there are two.

One is, when I compete for an S-tier contract in the future, you need to support me.

The other, I need you to tailor-make a novel for me.

A novel that can make me glow with success, and you’re also responsible for promoting it.”

Jiang Xu didn’t refuse, instead, he scrutinized Zhou Qingyue from head to toe.

In the face of Jiang Xu’s gaze, Zhou Qingyue held herself even straighter without dodging. She wanted to show him her best side.

Jiang Xu smirked: “Stop that. You don’t even compare to half of Nuonuo. What are you acting so proud for?”

His words caught Zhou Qingyue off guard, making her glare at him fiercely.

This man was usually very honest. Why was he so mean now?

At this moment, Jiang Xu, however, was thinking about a palace fight drama that had been a hit in 2011.

Empresses in the Palace.

This drama had set numerous records back then.

Most of its lead actors and supporting actors rose to fame because of it.

The one who benefited the most was the main actress, Sun Li.

The TV drama itself was a golden goose that kept laying eggs.

Even after ten to twenty years following its final episode, the company owning its copyright was still earning tens of millions each year.

That alone was quite remarkable.

Jiang Xu had watched this drama in his previous life. He was so familiar with it as he had seen it many times.

But, he actually didn’t like such dramas.

It was because Zhou Qingyue liked it that he had forced himself to watch it in order to have a shared topic with her.

Then… he became infatuated.

He watched it many more times when he was free.

The main character from Empresses in the Palace wouldn’t suit Zhou Qingyue at all.

However, Jiang Xu thought he could tweak the character’s persona.

Without changing the other parts, the plot, or the characters, the drama could still be a hit.

There was another issue. The novel of this drama had been written for two years and wouldn’t be finished until next June.

But it wasn’t a big issue.

The crux of this drama was all kinds of palace fights, cunning tricks, and schemes.

Jiang Xu could totally create a similar but differently plotted novel.

He could make it a hit by filming and airing it in advance.

Once the author of Empresses in the Palace finished the novel next year, he could buy its copyright and develop it…

Having thought that far, Jiang Xu had made up his mind.

He looked at Zhou Qingyue and asked: “How many shares does the third shareholder of Xinghe have, and how does he plan to sell?”

“He has 9% of the shares and plans to sell them for around fifty million.”

In that case, the entire value of Xinghe was around five hundred million.

This was almost consistent with the current value of Xinghe Entertainment.

If the coming drama became popular, the estimated value of the company would surely skyrocket.

Having thought this far, Jiang Xu nodded. “Alright, deal.”

A smile showed at the corner of Zhou Qingyue’s mouth.

She then opened the glove compartment and took out two contracts. “Take a look. If there’s no problem, sign it.”

Jiang Xu took them and read carefully.

The contract was straightforward, only two or three hundred words in length.

Moreover, this woman understood him quite well.

In the draft of the contract, it was stated that the digital broadcast rights were given to Jiang Xu, and the drama would offer him a 10% dividend.

As for the novel resulting from it, the electronic copyright, publication copyright, and related stuff still belonged to Jiang Xu.

These terms were very generous.

Well, she had big ambitions. She planned to invest in and film the drama herself to get the larger share.

Jiang Xu read it several times and found no pitfalls.

The contract simply clarified the terms of their cooperation, the responsibilities that needed to be fulfilled, and the penalties for breaking the contract.

Once he made sure that both contracts were the same, he signed them.

This was a private transaction, so no company stamp was needed.

Zhou Qingyue held the contracts, barely concealing the smile on her face.

She had great faith in Jiang Xu’s ability.

He surely could help her become popular.

After putting away the contracts properly, Zhou Qingyue looked at Jiang Xu again.

Her gaze was playful: “Do you want to know how far I’ve gotten with that man?”
