The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 203 Something is wrong

Xu Jiuyang felt that something was wrong today. Fan Qiaoqiao teased him that it was normal. After all, they were not clear about each other. They could be called bedmates and would talk about their feelings from time to time. They could be called boyfriend and girlfriend, but it had not reached that stage yet.

She just felt that her relationship with Gao Yuanyuan and Li Yunxin was a little unusual. When he slept with Yang Rong, Dong Qing and others, she didn't say much.

But that's not the point. The point is that she actually wanted him to write an autobiographical movie script for her.

Well, the so-called autobiographical movie script is told from Xu Jiuyang’s perspective.

A female character who climbs up by any means necessary but ends up in disgrace. If this isn't Fan Bingbing from her previous life, he'll eat the chair under his butt!

This is definitely not a free meal.

So... she might have really dreamed about her future, otherwise why would she work so hard and be so cautious, and make such a request now.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing cannot be verified. Unless someone takes the initiative to say it like Li Yunxin did, don’t know the answer. Who can be sure whether what she said is true or false?

However, because of this, Xu Jiuyang, who originally just wanted to coax her, now had an urge to put his skills to good use, because there was a movie script that, after modification, not only met her requirements but was also very interesting.

If it were just that, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong, but Angela's invitation afterwards seemed a little deliberate.

"What's wrong? It's not to your liking. I see you're in a daze." A voice sounded in his ear, calling Xu Jiuyang back from his trance.

"Although I'm not picky about food, Western food is indeed not very appealing to me." He shrugged and glanced around. The restaurant with Baroque decoration style was really eye-catching.

"If you had told me earlier, I would have invited you to Quanjude." Angela chuckled.

"It's better to go to Dadong. Quanjude's roast duck is becoming less and less authentic, and it will become even less authentic as time goes by." Xu Jiuyang shook his head and said.

"Not necessarily. Maybe we can find a good successor." Angela replied while scratching the steak.

"It's hard to say. With the development of society, even if we find a talented successor, future hotels won't tolerate slow chefs." Xu Jiuyang continued to shake his head. "We haven't experienced a true capitalist society, so it's hard to understand what it's like when capital is focused solely on increasing value at the fastest possible rate, without any regard for the consequences or the future social environment."

"Well, it sounds like it has some implications." Angela raised her eyebrows.

"Of course not. My suggestion is serious. Since you acquired a portion of Blizzard's equity through capital operations in 98, taking advantage of Vivendi's acquisition of Harvest, then you can also use capital operations to buy Blizzard from the loss-making Vivendi." Xu Jiuyang smiled. "Blizzard will be able to generate considerable profits within at least ten years."

He paused, his smile becoming playful. "Even if profits don't meet expectations in the future, you can still choose to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, squeeze every last bit out of it, and then sell it off. To do all this, you just need to find a CEO who is sufficiently obedient to run the operations."

"How much information have you browsed on websites outside of China?" Angela was very curious, her smile full of inquiry. "Also, I suspect there is some selfish motive behind this suggestion."

"Why do you think so?" Xu Jiuyang asked calmly.

"I know that Fan Qiaoqiao and Gao Yuanyuan have partnered to set up a gaming company to distribute online games outside of China," Angela said with a smile. "And as a shareholder of Blizzard Entertainment, I just heard that they're developing an online game based on the IP they've developed over the past decade."

"That's great. I also own a small 5% stake in the Zhulong game they co-founded," Xu Jiuyang shrugged, "so it can't be considered selfish."

Angela was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, her expression becoming even more playful: "Then I want one that won't involve your money-making plan."

"Isn't this a bit too much?" Xu Jiuyang frowned.

"Let's set up a company together, and you can invest in it with this idea and own 30% of the shares, how about that?" Angela said immediately.

"You're not going to be the legal representative, are you?" Xu Jiuyang laughed. "What are you thinking?" Angela rolled her eyes. "Why are you always like this? Always thinking the worst of others?"

"Because I believe that there is no such thing as a free lunch." Xu Jiuyang shrugged.

Angela could only shake her head and continue cutting the steak: "Okay, okay..."

Xu Jiuyang was able to breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that he should have been able to handle it. Unfortunately, although the steak, meat sauce, and pasta were cooked well, they tasted bland.

However, this is not the end. After leaving the restaurant, Angela directly took his hand and said, "Why are you going back so early? Go shopping with me."

"Ah?" Xu Jiuyang really didn't know what to do.

He had always thought that Angela came to drive Fan Qiaoqiao away and invited him to dinner just to take something out of his mouth, but looking at her current posture, it seemed that she wanted to do more than just take something out of his mouth.

Something is wrong today!
"What? Haven't you ever gone shopping with them?" Angela said rudely, "Can you be more straightforward, man?"

Xu Jiuyang originally wanted to say that he did not accompany Yunxin shopping, but she had the expression of "persistent" clearly written on her face, so he could only swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Unexpectedly, Angela really did mean shopping when she talked about shopping. She drove directly to Wangfujing and walked around several times. Not only did she buy a lot of cheap goods, but she also bought a lot of cheap goods, all of which were paid for by Xu Jiuyang.

This is nothing. If you go shopping together, no one will let the woman pay, especially when it is a yellow man and a white woman. They will attract attention wherever they go.

After all, both of them are tall, standard tall people, and have good aesthetic taste. Even if they are dressed simply, they are very elegant. It is natural that they look very compatible when walking together.

Fortunately, it is winter now and she is wearing thicker clothes. If it were summer, she would show off her figure and would attract more attention.

Xu Jiuyang suddenly felt a little relieved. Fortunately, Zhang Yin was being tutored by Da Meiyuan during this period. She only made an appointment with him once in the whole month of November, and it was done secretly.

If she saw it, who knows what would happen. You know, she looked at me strangely on several dates before.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question." Angela stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him.

"Honey, I'm listening." Xu Jiuyang answered subconsciously, and then saw her raise her eyebrows meaningfully.

He coughed dryly, took the so-called sandalwood bracelet from her hand, put it back under the nervous gaze of the vendor, and picked up the jade bracelet next to it.

"This one is more suitable, just like your eye color." Xu Jiuyang said seriously.

"Then this one will do." Angela said immediately after trying it.

Xu Jiuyang shook his head, took out his wallet and paid the stall owner with a smile on his face. Then he couldn't help but glance at the American girl who was happily observing the bracelet.

To be honest, she now has a sense of vitality, not the working machine that she used to be.

"Okay, that's enough." After walking around again, Xu Jiuyang looked at the time and said.

"Really? Is it such a painful thing to go shopping with a woman?" Angela complained, then narrowed her eyes at him, "Or are you already impatient?"
