The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 236 This is my boyfriend
“It seems you know a little about finance, but not much,” Angela said after getting into the car driven by her secretary, Annie.

"Is that so?" Xu Jiuyang narrowed his eyes. "Then what advice does Ms. Lindwo have?"

“What I established is a partnership fund; this type of fund doesn’t have the concept of a legal entity,” Angela said with a smile.

“But there must be similar positions,” Xu Jiuyang said bluntly, “such as assuming debts or unlimited joint liability, you would definitely put her in charge of that.”

“How can you succeed without paying a price?” Angela said casually. “As long as she feels the price is acceptable, no one else can say anything.”

"Really?" Xu Jiuyang looked unconvinced.

“Instead of trying to marry into a wealthy family, you should become a wealthy family yourself,” Angela said, raising an eyebrow. “I am the best example.”

Xu Jiuyang's expression was strange. Was the person sitting next to him really Angela Lindwo? Or was it really not Fan Bingbing?

"Then what is her purpose?" he couldn't help but ask.

“You should know what kind of people are both rich and easy to fool,” Angela smiled again.

"A rich second-generation heir who wants to start a business?" Xu Jiuyang stroked his chin.

Angela immediately rolled her eyes at him: "Speak properly."

"So, you're after the wealth of those celebrities in Hong Kong's entertainment industry?" Xu Jiuyang asked, though his tone was quite certain, even though he used a question.

After all, the fact that Luo Meiwei swindled her husband out of 20 billion yuan was repeatedly mentioned online before his rebirth.

In his view, the news may be exaggerated, and Zhang Xueyou would not put all his eggs in one basket, but it is definitely not unfounded, especially since someone mentioned that Luo Meiwei once made a fortune through investment funds.

It's similar to going to a casino. Once you've won big, you inevitably want to go again, until you've lost everything.

“Most of these people in the entertainment industry don’t have high levels of education, and often they don’t even know how they became famous. After receiving a large sum of money, they naturally don’t know how to use it,” Angela continued. “Whether it’s Hollywood, Hong Kong, or the mainland in the future, it will be no exception.”

"So, you want to leverage Li Jiaxin's fame; you want to make her a representative." Xu Jiuyang sighed.

“Why not the financial queen of Hong Kong?” Angela said with a smile. “It’s obvious that for at least ten years, Hong Kong stars will be active in the mainland entertainment industry. The fame they have accumulated will be quickly converted into huge sums of money as the mainland market grows. It would be a pity to waste it.”

"Those who work in finance are just ruthless," Xu Jiuyang couldn't help but mutter.

"I'm not heartless. This money will be used in the mainland entertainment industry. I'm contributing to socialism," Angela said casually.

"Alright," Xu Jiuyang coughed lightly, "Is there anything else this afternoon?"

“Of course, there was a dinner with Huayi.” Angela didn’t seem to care.

"A dinner party at Huayi?" Xu Jiuyang blinked. "What does that have to do with me?"

“You know perfectly well what I’m asking,” Angela said, squinting at him. “You’re my boyfriend.”

"Huh?" Xu Jiuyang was already mentally prepared, after all, he had given Fan Bingbing ideas on how to deal with Huayi, and she had said that she had communicated with Angela. He was just waiting for her to explain, but she steered the topic in some unknown direction.

In particular, when she finished speaking, I inexplicably felt a murderous aura coming from the driver's seat in front.

“You said it, to lure them in, you have to offer them something first, using profitable anthology movies as bait,” Angela said with a light laugh. “The best bait is naturally one that’s comprehensive.”

Upon hearing her words, Xu Jiuyang understood. A beautiful foreign woman wanting to take a domestic film company to Hollywood to make money was bound to cause concern; there was always the worry that something might go wrong. Especially considering that people like Da Wang and Xiao Wang had built their reputations through a series of shady dealings.

But if this beautiful foreign woman has a boyfriend from mainland China, and the main film in this movie compilation is based on a script she wrote, wouldn't the credibility be much higher?

Men, especially those who consider themselves successful, often subconsciously look down on women.

“There’s a problem, Anji,” Xu Jiuyang sighed. “What am I going to do now?”

If he were to attend the dinner party as Angela's boyfriend, it wouldn't be long before the news spread throughout the industry. If he wanted to continue working in the industry, he would be pointed at and gossiped about wherever he went: "Look, that's the guy who lives off a foreign woman."

After all, there's a difference in status.

“That’s none of my business,” Angela said, shrugging. “I can’t expect everyone to shut up, can I?”

"Hey, how can you kill someone and then not bury them!" Xu Jiuyang complained.

“Maybe you can take this opportunity to retire from the entertainment industry,” Angela said with a smile.

Xu Jiuyang was taken aback for a moment, then hissed as he thought about it, and thought... it might be possible?
Later that evening, he and Angela arrived at the Bai family compound. The two princes specially chose to entertain them at the former Prince Li's Garden, which opened last year, their intentions self-evident.

At any other time, Xu Jiuyang would have invariably looked down on her in his heart, but now, he just wanted to cooperate with Angela and do his best to act well.

Nevertheless, when Angela asked him to wear casual clothes and dress up as a cute puppy, he still refused.

Just kidding. It's one thing if people say I'm a kept man in the future, but I'm not actually a kept man.

Deceiving oneself in the dark? What kind of deceiving oneself in the dark is this? I have the right to say no, you know!

In short, Xu Jiuyang specially changed into a more fitted suit, fully showing off his long arms, wasp waist and broad shoulders, which complemented Angela's little suit perfectly. In addition, with similar height and equally excellent body proportions, the way they walked arm in arm after getting out of the car gave them a golden couple vibe, so much so that Xiao Wang, who came out to greet them, was stunned.

Passing through the corridor to the private room in the backyard, the King immediately stood up. Accompanying him were two senior executives from Huayi Brothers and Feng Xiaogang. On Angela's side, besides her inseparable secretary Annie, two senior executives from Columbia Pictures had also arrived earlier.

“This is my boyfriend,” Angela introduced him as Da Wang faced Xu Jiuyang with a puzzled look.

However, before she could finish speaking and before the king could even react, Xu Jiuyang interrupted: "Don't listen to her, Mr. Wang. I'm in a sugar daddy/sugar baby relationship with her now."

To make his point more convincing, he pointed to Angela when he said "kept" and to himself when he said "being kept," emphasizing that he would not let them misunderstand.

Just now, Xu Jiuyang suddenly realized that he had been led astray by Angela when they were talking about this time. He was so focused on what kind of uproar Angela would cause in the industry if she publicly declared that he was her boyfriend that he hadn’t thought about anything else. What about the other women?

Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Bingbing are uncertain, but Li Yunxin will definitely do the same thing, dragging him to some party and announcing that he is her boyfriend.

Bringing in Lee Kun-hee is a minor issue; the real problem is that he became a two-timing scumbag, and a gigolo at that.

Moreover, with Li Yunxin taking the lead, Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Bingbing would inevitably follow suit, making the situation even more complicated.

In his haste, he blurted out this sentence, and the men in the room were shocked, each showing a strange expression.

Angela rolled her eyes at him: "Fine, fine, I'll take care of you, are you satisfied?"
