Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 806 A KTV Room with a Swimming Pool
For the first time, Jiang Xue had a dream she wanted to pursue.

"Xiaoxue, stop fooling around."

Jiang Wen glared at her younger sister: "What are you dreaming of becoming a star? You're not cut out for it."

Last year, Shen Jinglan worked at Guobao Film and Television. At that time, the company's office was located next to the Songjiang Film and Television Base. Since Luo Yang basically didn't have time to spend with her on weekends, he often liked to go and play with Shen Jinglan.

During that time, Jiang Wen gained a certain understanding of the film and television entertainment industry and realized that it was a cesspool.

Even the cleanest person can't escape the mire unscathed once they enter.

Moreover, the two sisters will never lack money in the future.

When Jiang Wen first started working with Luo Yang, he would give her 20,000 yuan in pocket money every month. When she founded Nayuki Milk Tea, he even gave her a C-level store, which could bring her 300,000 to 400,000 yuan in net profit every month.

She already has a house and a car. Last year, they even let her invest in a decoration company. The money she earns will be invested in a medical aesthetic chain store, which is equivalent to helping her set up an industry. If it really turns out to be as Luo Yang described, this industry may have an annual income of over 100 million yuan.

Moreover, Jiang Wen knows Luo Yang very well and knows that he is a person who does not like to be high-profile.

Since the two sisters are already tied to him, if the younger sister goes into the entertainment industry and becomes famous, she might expose Luo Yang in public, which is too risky.

"Sis, who said I'm not cut out for this?"

Jiang Xue wrinkled her nose and retorted, "Am I not pretty?"

"Does being pretty guarantee you'll become a star?"

Jiang Wen scoffed, "The entertainment industry is never short of beautiful women. You haven't been to Songjiang Film City. I've seen many film crews with Senior Jinglan before. There are so many stunningly beautiful women playing supporting roles, and some even playing maids with very few lines."

"That's because they have no connection!"

Jiang Xue wasn't intimidated by her sister and snorted, "I have a brother-in-law. He owns a film and television company, so making me famous is no problem for him."

"Pfft!"

Seeing that Jiang Wen was speechless after being confronted, Shen Jinglan, who was sitting on the other side, burst out laughing.

"Xiaoxue, although Guobao Film and Television belongs to President Luo, his first priority is the company's survival."

Since she was closer to Jiang Wen, she decided to help her junior. So she took over the conversation and advised, "Take the movie 'Fleet of Time' that Guobao Films invested in and filmed recently. The total cost, including filming and promotion, was close to 3500 million. If the box office of this movie cannot exceed 1 million, it will definitely lose money."

"what?"

Jiang Xue asked, puzzled, "Sister Jinglan, why does a film with a budget of 3500 million need to gross 1 million at the box office to break even?"

"Because the cinemas need to share the revenue, and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television takes a portion."

After explaining, Shen Jinglan said, "So, to succeed in investing in a film or television series, the script is very important, the director is very important, and the actors are also very important. Xiaoxue, you are not from a professional background and you don't know how to act at all. You could easily ruin a good film."

"It's just acting, I don't think it's difficult."

Jiang Xue looked unconvinced.

"Isn't it difficult?"

Shen Jinglan looked at Jiang Xue with a smile and said, "Then now you'll put on an expression that's so sad you're laughing out loud?"

It's not that crying loudly is the only way to express extreme sadness; sometimes, laughter is the most painful way to express it.

Jiang Xue: "."

She really wanted to look sad, but she couldn't get the emotions right. The key was that she had to smile while looking sad, which was a difficult performance for her.
"How about a simpler performance?"

Shen Jinglan continued to "make things difficult" for Jiang Xue, saying, "You just need to perform an expression of being so sad that you're emotionally broken down, like the kind of extreme heartbreak."

Jiang Xue decided to try to salvage the situation, so she tried hard to recall the sad things in her mind and then showed a sad expression.

Before he could even frown, Luo Yang gently poked his waist with his finger, dispelling his power.

"cluck"

Jiang Xue dodged while laughing and said, "Brother-in-law, he's acting sad, how can you interfere?"

"Alright, you're not cut out for acting."

Luo Yang laughed and said, "This thing is all about talent. Every year, the Shanghai Theatre Academy and the China Film Academy recruit students for their acting departments. They are all complete novices with no experience. During the exam, the examiners ask them to perform all kinds of impromptu programs and express all kinds of emotions. Talented people can be laughing one second and crying the next."

Actually, he wasn't too keen on Jiang Xue entering the film and television industry.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the advice I just gave, because Luo Yang knows that the future belongs to the era of traffic. There are too many traffic stars without solid acting skills. As long as capital is willing to support you, even a top-tier star who can win awards may not become a star. Becoming a second or third-tier star is still a piece of cake.

Hearing Luo Yang say the same thing, Jiang Xue pouted and stopped emphasizing that she wanted to be a star.

In order to nip her younger sister's dream of becoming a star in the bud, Jiang Wen and Shen Jinglan stopped talking about film and entertainment in their subsequent conversation.

Around 7:30, after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they started discussing where to go next.

"Shopping is the most boring thing."

Jiang Xue was the first to speak up: "Brother-in-law, is there a place to sing in the club? I want to sing!"

If a group of girls are together, shopping is definitely their first choice.

But with Luo Yang around, once inside the mall, everyone would head straight to their destination, buy what they wanted, and leave.

Shopping with my brother-in-law is no fun at all.

Jiang Wen said she didn't care, she was fine with anything.

She's not short of money now. If she wants to buy something, she can simply take the weekend and go shopping with Shen Jinglan or her roommate who works in Shanghai. There's no need for her to drag a big boss like Luo Yang along.

Shen Jinglan, needless to say, originally wanted to stay at the club and work the night shift.

If Luo Yang stays, she can visit him from time to time, and there's even a chance she might be invited to stay at Jiang Wen's house together.
"Manager Shen, does the club have any karaoke rooms?"

After the club was renovated, he came twice. Once was the day before the trial opening, when he brought a large group of friends and didn't have time to explore the place properly. The other time was just last night, when he went straight to the cigar bar and chatted with Fu Bin all night. He really didn't know if the Jiangnan Club had any private rooms where he could sing karaoke.

"There are two such private rooms, but I don't know if they have been booked by members."

As she spoke, Shen Jinglan switched on the small microphone clipped to her collar: "Let me ask the manager on duty today."

After a few words on the phone, she looked at Luo Yang and said, "The Tianshui Pavilion on the fifth floor is still empty. I've already asked the duty manager to arrange it."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Luo Yang stood up first and looked at Jiang Xue, saying, "You've been saying you want to sing, so you must sing quite well. I'll let you show off your singing skills later."

Actually, not only Jiang Xue, but also Jiang Wen and Shen Jinglan, none of the three of them had ever sung with Luo Yang, so Luo Yang really didn't know how good they were.

"Brother-in-law, I'm a karaoke queen."

Jiang Xue also stood up, took Luo Yang's arm, and said with a proud smile, "I performed a singing program at the welcome party, and I received unanimous praise from the students in the audience."

"is it?"

Luo Yang joked, "Is it because you sing well or are you pretty?"

"Hehe, she's beautiful and her singing is beautiful too."

Jiang Xue stuck out her tongue with a grin, then added, "Actually, my sister sings better. Brother-in-law, your ears are in for a treat tonight."

Luo Yang and Jiang Xue walked ahead, chatting and laughing as they left the private room. Jiang Wen and Shen Jinglan followed a few steps behind, whispering to each other.

A waiter was already waiting at the elevator entrance on the fifth floor. Upon seeing Shen Jinglan, he immediately led the group towards Tianshui Pavilion. "Wow~~~"

As soon as Jiang Xue pushed open the door to the private room, she was stunned by the interior decoration.

She released Luo Yang's arm, making a surprised sound as she looked around and touched...
Not to mention Jiang Xue and the others, even Luo Yang himself was taken aback.

The entire private room was decorated in a magnificent style; if I had to describe it in one word, it would be "luxurious"!

Not only is the decor high-end, but the private rooms are also very large and have two floors.

The ground floor is a standard KTV layout, but the main floor is the second floor. Only when you go up do you discover that there is actually a small swimming pool on the top floor.

The fragments of memory in Luo Yang's mind suddenly came back to life.

In his previous life, whether in Shanghai or occasionally in Hangzhou, he had actually seen KTV rooms with this kind of decoration and layout.

It seems that the layout of this private room was his suggestion.
It's a bit of a laughable situation.

Wow, there's even a swimming pool!

Sure enough, the swimming pool on the second floor caught Jiang Xue's attention. Holding onto the second-floor railing, she excitedly asked Luo Yang, "Brother-in-law, can we swim?"

"of course can."

Luo Yang smiled and replied to Jiang Xue before turning to Shen Jinglan: "There should be matching swimsuits, right?"

"Yes, not only do they have swimsuits, but the private rooms also have dedicated changing rooms."

Shen Jinglan led Luo Yang up to the second floor and pushed open a glass door on the side: "It's similar to the swimming pool outside, just a little smaller, but it has all the necessary functions."

After saying that, he gestured to the waitress standing at the door and said, "Fill the pool with warm water to maintain a comfortable, constant temperature. Also, bring over the fruit platter and drinks, according to the highest standards of Tianshui Pavilion."

Luo Yang nodded in satisfaction, then went downstairs and sat down on the sofa on the first floor.

"Honey, I didn't even know there was such a private room in the club."

Jiang Wen, who is the purchasing manager of the club, had no idea that there was such a luxurious place on the 5th floor.

She's not a novice; she knows what kind of atmosphere exists in a karaoke bar.

Now that they've added a swimming pool, the scene is quite something.
"Brother-in-law, let's sing first!"

It would take a while to prepare for the second-floor swimming pool to be used, and Jiang Xue ran down after her initial enthusiasm.

"No rush, pick out the songs you want to sing first."

Luo Yang replied with a smile, "We'll start singing after the drinks and fruit platter are served."

"Mr. Luo, everything here has been arranged. I'll go downstairs for a walk first."

At this moment, Shen Jinglan walked up to Luo Yang, bowed slightly and said, "There is a wine tasting event on the second floor. I am one of the organizers. I need to go down and say hello. I will come back up later."

Shen Jinglan and Jiang Wen had mentioned this during dinner earlier, and Luo Yang, who was nearby, knew what kind of party it was.

"Okay, you go ahead and do your own thing."

He waved and said, "Come over and sing a few songs when you have time, and show off your singing voice."

"Honey, I want to go down and take a look too."

Jiang Wen suddenly spoke up at this moment: "I promised Sister Jinglan during dinner, and I also want to experience this kind of cocktail party."

Luo Yang paused for a moment, then said casually, "Well, it's good to broaden your horizons. You'll probably need to attend these kinds of salons and parties more often to expand your social circle and make more friends."

In his view, Jiang Wen's willingness to put her heart into the medical aesthetics chain store business shows that she is willing to put her heart into it.

Since she wants to give it a try, Luo Yang will definitely support her.

Jiang Wen then left the private room with Shen Jinglan.

The Tianshui Pavilion fell silent, leaving only Luo Yang and Jiang Xue inside.

Jiang Xue, who was still selecting songs, suddenly started darting around when she saw her sister leave.

She glanced at Luo Yang, who was sitting on the sofa lighting a cigarette, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Brother-in-law, I can't find a song anywhere. Can you help me find it?"

Jiang Xue called out to Luo Yang in a coquettish voice, seemingly a little annoyed.

"Are there still songs you can't find?"

Luo Yang walked over, a cigarette dangling from his lips: "You didn't forget the song title, did you?"

He came to Jiang Xue's side and said, "If you can't find the song title, think about who sings it and search for it using the celebrity search method."

"is it?"

Jiang Xue turned her head to look at Luo Yang, but didn't say which singer it was, and just kept blinking.

Luo Yang: "."

Did you get something in your eye?

"Uh"

Jiang Xue was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Yes, yes, I got something in my eye, it hurts so much, brother-in-law, can you help me get it out?"

After saying that, he brought his face close to Luo Yang's.

They're so close you can feel their breath.

His innocent expression prevented Luo Yang from suspecting anything else.

"The lighting here is too dim, how about we go over to the sofa?"

"Oh dear, even with the lights on, I can't see anything."

Jiang Xuejiao said, "When I was at home, if something got into my eyes, my mother would use her tongue to remove it so as not to hurt my eyes."

"Eh?"

Luo Yang laughed and said, "I did that when I was a kid too. Which eye did you get something in?"

"Left eye!"

Luo Yang, completely unsuspecting, held Jiang Xue's head still, pried open her left eyelids with one hand, and then stuck his tongue into her eye socket, starting to rummage inside, trying to scrape out some foreign object or insect.

My eyes felt salty and soft.
"Ok?"

After repeating this several times, Luo Yang released Jiang Xue: "Are your eyes still uncomfortable?"

"Hehe, I don't feel bad anymore."

After replying to Luo Yang with a smile, Jiang Xue suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him.

The girl had somehow gotten her arms draped around Luo Yang's neck.

Luo Yang: "."

I think I just got tricked.
