The God of Wealth starts with doing whatever you want

The morning sunlight streamed in through the huge balcony of Su Mu's living room. Xu Yun sat at the dining table, sipping coffee and checking his phone.

There have been more than a dozen messages coming from Tokyo.

As the agent recommended by Lin Zhengyu, Lao Chen's work report was very detailed.

From the Yamaguchi-gumi's territorial distribution in various wards of Tokyo, to the entertainment venues, underground banks, and smuggling routes they control.

Some financial statements from even gray-market industries were compiled into electronic documents and sent over.

The attachment also includes an encrypted compressed file labeled "Detailed List of Yamaguchi-gumi's Tokyo Industries".

Xu Yun glanced at the page briefly, and the densely packed tables and data immediately gave him a headache.

"what happened?"

Su Mu came out of the kitchen carrying fried eggs and, seeing Xu Yun's frowning expression, casually asked...

"This time, there were so many things sent from Tokyo that I couldn't even look at them all."

Xu Yun handed her the phone and said with a smile, "Sister Su, can you help me clean it up? Mark the important parts and delete the unimportant ones."

Su Mu took the phone, sat down opposite him, and carefully looked through it.

After all, she comes from a high-level executive background and has a natural sensitivity to these data and tables.

"Old Chen is quite meticulous in his work."

Su Mu scrolled through the screen and said, "This list divides the Yamaguchi-gumi's businesses in Tokyo into three categories: legal businesses, gray businesses, and illegal businesses."

Legitimate businesses account for about 30%, mainly catering, logistics, and construction companies.

The gray market accounts for 50%, including nightclubs, casinos, and loan sharks.

Illegal industries account for 20%, involving drug and arms smuggling.

"The proportion is not surprising."

Xu Yun took a bite of toast and mumbled, "The Yamaguchi-gumi is, after all, a yakuza group; it's impossible to completely whitewash it."

Su Mu continued scrolling down, then suddenly paused, saying with some surprise, "The Yamaguchi-gumi's illegal businesses in Tokyo can bring in nearly 200 billion yen in profits every year."

"After all, it's the number one gang."

Xu Yun waved his hand and said with a smile, "I don't need that little bit of money. Tell Lao Chen that we will take 30% of the profits from the first two and will not touch illegal industries."

"Okay, I'll organize my thoughts and get back to him."

Su Mu took out his laptop and began to work on the list seriously.

Xu Yun looked at her focused profile and felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

This is what makes Su Mu different from other women.

She can not only provide him with emotional comfort, but also offer him tangible assistance in his career.

"correct."

Xu Yun suddenly remembered something and said, "After you've finished compiling the list, forward it directly to Lin Wanzhou. I plan to hand over the business in Tokyo to him."

Su Mu paused typing, looked up at him, and asked, "Lin Wanzhou? Isn't he your bodyguard?"

"Bodyguards can also work part-time."

Xu Yun smiled and said, "Lin Wanzhou is a former soldier who used to frequent foreign countries and has been involved in various shady industries. She is better at handling these matters than I am."

Moreover, he is calm and decisive, making him suitable for managing the Tokyo area.

"You know how to use people."

Su Mu didn't ask any more questions and continued working with her head down.

She knew that the people around Xu Yun were not simple: Lin Wanzhou, Zhong Yanyan, Lin Zhengyu...

Everyone has their own background and story.

Xu Yun's ability to gather these people around him and get them to work for him willingly is itself a skill.

An hour later, Su Mu sent the cleaned list to Lin Wanzhou, along with Xu Yun's comments.

Almost immediately, Lin Wanzhou called.

"You asked me to help you manage things in Tokyo."

Lin Wanzhou's voice remained calm as she said, "I'm just a roughneck, I don't understand anything."

"No rush, take your time."

Xu Yun said, "You need to improve. You can't be my bodyguard for the rest of your life, can you?"

If there are any unruly individuals within the Yamaguchi-gumi, you can let Old Chen handle them first. Only step in if he can't manage.

"alright."

Lin Wanzhou didn't say much and hung up the phone.

After hanging up his phone, Xu Yun asked Su Mu, "Are you going to stay home and rest today, or go to the company?"

Su Mu said angrily, "I'm going to rest at home. You really wore me out last night."

"It's you who's making things difficult for me."

Xu Yun smiled and said, "Then you should rest. I have to go out for a while. I haven't done what I promised Liang Yan yet."

"Liang Yan seems to be sick."

Su Mu suddenly said, "That time I went to her place, I accidentally saw a medical report..."

"I know, it's okay."

Xu Yun said, "I will help you handle it."

"Then go quickly."

Su Mu saw him to the door, straightened his collar, and said softly, "Are you coming home for dinner tonight?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on the situation."

Xu Yun lightly kissed her lips and smiled, "If you don't come back, I'll send you a message."

"it is good."

Watching Xu Yun enter the elevator, Su Mu closed the door and returned to the living room.

There was still half a cup of coffee that Xu Yun hadn't finished on the coffee table. She picked it up and slowly drank it, but felt inexplicably empty inside.

This man is always like this, coming and going in a hurry, surrounded by all sorts of people and things.

All she could do was give him a warm hug when he came back and offer him any help she could when he needed it.

"Perhaps this is my choice."

Su Mu muttered to herself, picked up her phone, and began processing work emails.

Yanyun Entertainment Company, Jiangcheng CBD.

As Xu Yun entered the building, the receptionist recognized him immediately and quickly stood up to say respectfully, "Mr. Xu, hello, are you looking for General Manager Liang?"

"Are you there?"

"Yes, I'm here," the receptionist said with a smile. "I'll take you up right away."

"No, I'll go by myself."

Xu Yun waved his hand and walked straight to the elevator.

He was already very familiar with this place.

After all, I had been here several times before and had even "guided" the training of several artists here.

The elevator stopped on the eighteenth floor. Xu Yun walked to Liang Yan's office door and knocked.

"Please come in."

Liang Yan's voice came from inside.

Pushing open the door, I saw Liang Yan sitting behind her desk reading documents.

Today she wore a dark blue business suit with a skirt that fell just above her knees, paired with black stockings and high heels, making her look both capable and sexy.

The next second, her eyes lit up when she saw Xu Yun, and she stood up to greet him, her demeanor becoming alluring.

"Xu Yun, you've finally arrived."

"Give."

Xu Yun put his arm around her, took a USB drive out of his bag, and placed it on the table: "The script you wanted is in here. Take a look at it yourself."

"..."

Liang Yan couldn't wait to plug the USB drive into the computer and open the document.

After reading only a few pages, her expression changed from anticipation to shock.

"This...you wrote this?"

She looked up at Xu Yun, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The document contains a complete script for a female-oriented online novel, tentatively titled "The Phoenix Cries in the Nine Heavens".

The main story revolves around a modern female lawyer who travels back in time to ancient times, becoming a discarded concubine in a royal palace. Using her modern knowledge and legal thinking, she navigates the inner court and the imperial court step by step, eventually rising to become a powerful female prime minister.

The script is well-structured, the characters are vividly portrayed, the plot is full of twists and turns, and it incorporates many clashes between modern legal concepts and ancient systems.

It features both the romance and domestic power struggles that female readers enjoy, as well as the political intrigue and strategic scope rarely seen in typical female-oriented novels.

"That's it."

Xu Yun gave a vague answer, sat down on the sofa, and said, "What do you think?"

"It's more than just how..."

Liang Yan flipped through a few more pages, becoming more and more excited as she read: "The quality of this script is better than most of the IP adaptation scripts on the market right now!"
The characters are well-developed, the plot is logical, and the dialogue is excellent.

The female lead's character, in particular, possesses both the independence and wisdom of a modern woman, while also demonstrating a suitable degree of resilience and resourcefulness within the ancient setting—this kind of character is incredibly appealing!

She closed the document, walked up to Xu Yun, and said seriously, "Xu Yun, to be honest, did you write this script yourself?"

If not, who is the original author?
We absolutely must sign him; a screenwriter of this caliber is a must-have.

"The original author is unable to appear in public."

Xu Yun had already prepared his explanation and said with a smile, "I got the script from a friend. He doesn't want to be famous, he only asked that the credits be signed under the pen name 'Yun Shen,' and he doesn't want any other copyright revenue."

"Yun Shen..."

Liang Yan repeated the name thoughtfully: "I've never heard of this pen name in the industry. Could it be a newcomer?"
"But the quality of this script is far beyond what a newcomer could have written." "Some people are just exceptionally gifted."

Xu Yun shrugged and said, "So, is this script usable?"

"Of course it will work!"

Liang Yan sat down on the single sofa next to him and said excitedly, "I plan to use this script for our company's S-level project next year, and the investment budget can be increased to 80 million to 100 million."

The cast must be top-notch; I'll cast Wanqing as the female lead—her temperament and acting skills are perfect."

"Wanqing?"

Xu Yun felt like he hadn't heard this name in a long time, and for a moment it seemed a bit unfamiliar.

"Yes, that's her."

Liang Yan looked at Xu Yun and suddenly revealed a meaningful smile: "Speaking of which, Wan Qing hasn't been in a good state lately. It may be because filming is too tiring, or it may be... some emotional troubles."

"Feeling troubled in a relationship?"

Xu Yun raised an eyebrow, puzzled, and asked, "She has a boyfriend?"

"That's not true."

Liang Yan stood up, walked to Xu Yun, and suddenly leaned down, placing her hands on the armrests of the sofa to encircle him.

This position allowed her cleavage to be fully displayed in front of Xu Yun, and a faint scent of perfume wafted over as well.

Xu Yun looked at her and laughed, "What are you doing?"

Liang Yan lowered her voice, adding a hint of seduction: "That girl Wanqing seems to have a real interest in you. Are you really going to take her in without even considering it?"

"..."

Xu Yun looked at Liang Yan, who was so close to him, and felt a little helpless.

This woman is playing with fire again.

He glanced at someone's cleavage and laughed, "You can say whatever you want, but why are you standing so close to me...aren't you afraid of flashing me?"

"Tch, you've seen it before."

Liang Yan didn't back away; instead, she moved even closer.

Her red lips almost touched Xu Yun's ear as she said, "I'm just stating the facts."

And darling, you've given me the script you promised, but I haven't properly thanked you yet.

"No need for thanks."

Xu Yun wanted to lean back, but the back of the sofa blocked her way.

"How about that?"

Liang Yan chuckled softly, then suddenly sat on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck: "You've helped me so much, of course I have to repay you properly."

"This is an office."

Xu Yun kindly reminded her, but his hand honestly supported her waist.

"What's wrong with the office? It's not like this is the first time you've done this!"

Liang Yan leaned close to his ear and breathed softly, "My office has excellent soundproofing; you can't hear anything outside."

Besides, it's lunch break now, the employees have all gone to eat, and no one will bother them.

As she spoke, she kissed Xu Yun's lips.

The kiss was passionate and proactive, carrying Liang Yan's usual assertiveness and desire for control.

Xu Yun initially wanted to refuse, but with a beautiful woman in his arms, warm and soft, and Liang Yan was indeed a very charming woman.

She is mature, sexy, and intelligent; she knows how to seduce men.

So, half-heartedly, the two rolled from the sofa into the break room inside the office.

Liang Yan's lounge was small, but it was very comfortable, with a double bed, a wardrobe, and a small bathroom.

The curtains were drawn, the light was dim, which added to the ambiguous atmosphere.

For the next hour or so, the lounge was filled with springtime charm.

Liang Yan is a woman who knows how to enjoy herself and please men. She knows how to create a romantic atmosphere and how to satisfy both parties.

Xu Yun was equally matched; the two were evenly matched and played a thoroughly enjoyable game.

Afterwards, Liang Yan leaned against Xu Yun's chest, drawing circles on his chest with her fingers.

"Honey, let's get serious."

Her voice still carried a hint of post-coital languor as she chuckled, "You really should go to Hengdian to see Wanqing; that girl's been in really bad shape lately."

I asked her assistant, and she said that she's had to do so many takes these past few days, and the director is about to lose his temper.

What happened to her?

"I don't know the specifics, but it seems to be related to her family."

Liang Yan lit a cigarette and said, "Wanqing's family is not well-off. Her parents are both in their hometown. Her father is in poor health and takes medicine all year round, and her mother does odd jobs."

She entered the entertainment industry to earn money to treat her father's illness.

The roles she played before weren't particularly successful, so her pay wasn't high, putting her under a lot of financial pressure.

Xu Yun countered, "You didn't help her?"

“We helped her; the company gave her an advance on part of her salary, but this isn’t a long-term solution.”

Liang Yan exhaled a smoke ring and said, "I plan to give her the lead role in 'The Phoenix's Cry in the Nine Heavens' this time, and I can offer her double the market price."

But this girl has a strong sense of pride, and I'm afraid she won't accept it if I give it to her directly, so I wanted you to talk to her."

"I?"

Xu Yun raised an eyebrow: "Why would she accept it if I asked her?"

"Because she likes you."

Liang Yan said matter-of-factly, "I understand what the young girl is thinking. She'll be more willing to accept an opportunity given by someone she likes."

Besides, your visit can encourage her and help her cheer up.

Xu Yun was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll go to Hengdian tomorrow."

"That's right."

Liang Yan smiled with satisfaction, leaned over and kissed him again, saying, "Darling, I've discovered that although you're a womanizer, you're really good to women."

"It won't be a bad deal for Wanqing to follow you in the future."

“I never said I wanted to take her in.”

Xu Yun stubbed out her cigarette, got up, and put on her clothes.

"Whether you accept it or not is your business, but I can tell that the girl is serious."

Liang Yan also sat up, and the silk quilt slipped off, revealing her beautiful figure.

"It's truly rare to find someone like Wanqing in the entertainment industry. She's a good girl, and I really like her."

"Okay, I see."

Xu Yun finished dressing and glanced back at Liang Yan: "You too, stop trying to seduce me in the office, what if someone sees us..."

"If you see it, you see it."

Liang Yan smiled indifferently: "I've been single for so many years, what's wrong with finding a man? Besides, it's my honor to be rumored to be dating you, my dear."

"You……"

Xu Yun shook his head and prepared to leave.

"correct."

Liang Yan suddenly called out to him, saying, "I will start the project as soon as possible regarding the script. Remember to transfer the money."

"Go ask Su Mu for it."

Xu Yun responded and left.

Outside the door, the corridor was empty; the employees had indeed not returned yet.

Xu Yun stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the underground parking lot.

As the elevator descended, he took out his phone and sent Su Mu a message: "I won't be coming tonight, I have some things to take care of."

Su Mu quickly replied: 【Okay.】

Concise, without asking many questions.

This is Su Mu's thoughtfulness.

She gave Xu Yun enough space and didn't pry like Zhong Yanyan did.

But Xu Yun knew that not asking didn't mean she didn't care; it just meant Su Mu had chosen to love him in a different way.

The elevator reaches the parking lot.
Xu Yun started the car, drove out of the parking lot, merged into the traffic, and headed in another direction of the city.

……

Meanwhile, at Hengdian World Studios, Wan Qing had just finished a day of filming and dragged her tired body back to her hotel room.

She opened her phone and looked at the secretly taken photo on the screen saver. It was a profile shot she had taken from a distance when Xu Yun came to her house last time.

"Mr. Xu..."

Wan Qing murmured to herself, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

She knew that she and Xu Yun were from two different worlds, and she knew that Xu Yun had many outstanding women around him.

But she couldn't control her heart.

That man was like a ray of light, shining into her gloomy life and giving her a glimmer of hope.

"I wish I could see him one more time."

Wanqing lay down on the bed with her phone in her arms and closed her eyes.

What she didn't know was that her wish would come true tomorrow.

So although Liang Yan was hostile to other women and liked to cause trouble, she was genuinely good to her.

Perhaps he saw a reflection of his past self in her. (End of Chapter)
