The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 191 Just an illusion?

"I can see that you have gained a lot today, boss." Annie knocked on the door and came in. She looked at Angela leaning lazily in the chair and couldn't help teasing her.

"It's okay, but I'm not in a good mood." Angela sighed.

"Did your think tank make you angry again?" Annie asked immediately.

"That guy clearly has something, but he refuses to take it out, as if he's afraid I won't pay him." Angela snorted, then lazily opened her arms, "Give me a hug, Annie, I'm really heartbroken."

"It's work time now." Annie rolled her eyes at her. "Don't you have a plan?"

"If we can control him, we won't have to go through so much trouble." Angela rubbed her forehead, seeming a little unwilling.

Annie frowned slightly, but continued, "But you still have a lot of things to do now, the filming of 'Hero' and 'The Understudy'..."

"The Dark Side, now the movie is called The Dark Side," Angela corrected.

"Okay, 'Dark Side,'" Annie corrected with a sigh, "and then there's your plan to join forces with Ms. Li, and the acquisition of Sunshine Media."

"Sunshine Media, don't worry. After Xu Gehui joined me, Yang Lan has been in my control." Angela stretched out her hand and flexed it in front of her eyes. "It's just a matter of whether she can be bold enough to get herself a slightly better salary. As for Li Yunxin's plan, it's almost done as well. The results will be announced in December at the latest. When I think about her having to bear the greatest pressure up front while getting a 12- split of the benefits, I'm very happy..."

She rambled on for several minutes before realizing that Anne hadn't responded. She turned around in surprise and saw the worried expression on her secretary's face.

"What's wrong?" Angela asked in confusion.

"Nothing, just..." Annie lowered her head and brushed the hair away from her ears to cover it up, "I'm a little worried about you."

Angela was silent for a moment and then stood up: "Don't worry, Annie, I know what I'm doing."

"I believe you." Annie gave her a smile, then took out the documents in her hand and stuffed them into the arms of her boss, who had already opened his arms. "By the way, here are some financial arrangements that I need your signature on."

"I just relaxed for a few minutes." Angela sighed and sat down again.

After dealing with these things, and after the female secretary left, she leaned back in the high-back chair, closed her eyes, and tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest.

Just as I said at the beginning, from the moment Wu Zheng failed to hold on in Wujiaochang, the outcome was already determined, and the rest was just a matter of time.

This is how bureaucrats are. Put enough pressure on them, but always keep them from falling out. After a certain point, give them a way out and put some benefits under the way, and compromise will become the first choice.

Since everyone has compromised, it is normal to sacrifice the person standing on the crest of the wave.

In short, Wu Zheng was finished. Although he was still jumping around, he couldn't jump much longer. Yang Lan had been lured by Xu Gehui to beg her, so the fat man was destined to never be able to turn over.

What’s even more interesting is that not only did he achieve his goal, he also got a 12% stake in Sina.

In a simulated future, the scammer took advantage of Sunshine Media, which had only been established for a year, and took advantage of the opportunity when Sina needed to raise its stock price to exchange equity for 16% of Sina's shares in a combination of cash and cash, thus becoming the largest shareholder.

Now, because of Angela's intervention, the scandal of fake academic qualifications is not only known throughout the country, but has also spread to the United States, and is deeply involved in a fraud lawsuit. Sina is busy hiding, so how could it possibly collude with him to play the capital game.

Then Angela's TS Capital filled this gap, but perhaps because of concerns about control issues, Sina's board of directors was only willing to give out 12% of the shares.

Angela was unequivocal, first clearly stating her lack of interest in control, then demanding a cash-and-share swap, but the equity swap would be with a newly established investment company in Hong Kong. Using the system, she successfully persuaded the other party.

And she didn't eat alone. The Xiangjiang Investment Company that exchanged with Sina was founded together with Fan Qiaoqiao, Gao Yuanyuan and Li Yunxin.

As for Xu Jiuyang, I'm sorry, she is very willing to spend money on him, very willing to spend a lot of money on him, but there is no need to make money with him.

Apparently, the other three agreed with this approach—at least that's what Angela thought. After all, none of them had mentioned letting him join them at the time.

"I feel that the sisters Li Xue and Li Xiu should go to the United States for further studies together." The blonde girl said to herself, her thoughts turning to the next topic.

Her meeting of sisters Li Xue and Li Xiu was due to an interesting coincidence. When preparing for the "Hero" project, although the actors had been decided long ago, some things still had to be done through the motions.

So, the crew has a lot of information about the actors, especially the actresses.

Whenever Angela had free time, she would randomly select someone for a simulation to see their potential and whether they were interested. During one of her simulations, she discovered that Li Xue was originally named Bingbing, but changed her name in 98.

Almost instantly, Angela understood the whole cause and effect. In the original timeline, Fan Qiaoqiao was likely to have friction with Li Qiaoqiao.

For celebrities, the most annoying thing is meeting colleagues with the same name, especially those with similar achievements to themselves. In this case, they will definitely be compared by the media and even their respective fans.

This kind of comparison is meaningless if you win, but it is very embarrassing if you lose, and you may even become angry.

Therefore, Angela immediately used some means to get the sisters into the film and television company that Tang Wei was in charge of.

Relatively speaking, she cared more about Li Xiu. At least in several simulations, Li Xiu did a good job as an agent. He was smart and capable, and could see the big picture clearly.

Li Xuemo is indeed very hardworking, but that is her only advantage. She is mediocre in other aspects.

Angela originally planned to send Li Xue to the United States for further studies. Li Xiu was very concerned about her sister, so it was a good idea to use the same method to control Li Xue to drive Li Xiu.

However, although Li Xiu has good abilities, he is sometimes too smart.

What Angela needed more was a tool who was more obedient than capable. If the obedience could reach A+, then a B in ability would be acceptable, so she finally sent Li Xiu there for further training.

But now it seems that it might be better to send Li Xue over as well. As they are sisters, that guy should like them, and by the way, it can also give Fan Qiaoqiao a little embarrassment.

Until now, she only knew that the script was written by that guy, but she didn't know that it was Li Xue who was responsible for polishing it. It must be very interesting when they meet.

Thinking of this, the blonde couldn't help but laugh, and the laughter echoed in the room, with an inexplicable taste.

Then, she suddenly stopped, opened her emerald eyes, frowned, and looked a little confused.

After being lost in thought for a moment, Angela pursed her lips, let out a long breath, and took out a small mirror from the drawer.

Looking at myself inside, the lines of my facial features have become a little hard over time, but compared to the same period in the original simulation of the future, I don’t know how much better it is.

If she were still a model, her facial features would have become closer to those of men. After all, those bastards...

Angela snapped the small mirror shut, her expression becoming indifferent again, as if that brief moment of reflection was just an illusion?
