How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 220 Mr. Jiang, Don’t

Xiaoyue left Jiang Yu's hotel room and returned to her own room to rest.

At this moment, the only people left in the room were Jiang Yu, who was drunk but still slightly conscious, and Chu Jingya, who was giving Jiang Yu hot milk.

Jiang Yu was the type of person who was drunk but not completely drunk. He just felt groggy and sleepy, but his consciousness was still slightly clear.

At this moment, Jiang Yu was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt. Hearing the noise, he slightly opened his hazy eyes and saw Chu Jingya walking in with a glass of milk.

"Mr. Jiang, drink this cup of hot milk before you go to sleep. You've drunk so much alcohol, so drink some hot milk to nourish your stomach."

Jiang Yu heard Chu Jingya's voice and wanted to get up, but he felt as if his body was being pulled by something and couldn't get up. Chu Jingya saw this and quickly stepped forward to support Jiang Yu's shoulders, sat down on the edge of the bed, helped him up, and gave him the milk in her hand to drink.

Because the two of them were so close, and Chu Jingya was sitting on the edge of the bed, one hand supporting Jiang Yu's shoulder, it was as if she was holding Jiang Yu in her arms. This action made the two of them look somewhat intimate, and Jiang Yu could even feel the softness of being squeezed.

"Thank...thank you, Sister Jingya. You...you should go back and rest first. I'm fine."

Chu Jingya put the quilt on the bedside table and prepared to gently put Jiang Yu down. Women of this age are the best at taking care of others.

The next moment, when she sat down, her windbreaker was accidentally pressed down by Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu's lying down made the pressure even tighter. Chu Jingya didn't notice it either. As soon as she stood up, she exerted so much force that she was dragged down.

Suddenly, Jiang Yu felt something pressing down on him, and a soft, cold sensation spread across his face. He groaned in pain and opened his eyes, only to be met with Chu Jingya's panicked gaze.

The two looked at each other, and under the dim light, they felt each other's breath and body temperature. For a moment, it seemed that the breathing sounds in the room became heavier, and an ambiguous atmosphere spread in the room.

Jiang Yu felt the soft and fragrant body pressing on him, and his nostrils were filled with the fragrance of Chu Jingya. He had drunk some wine and was a little drunk, and now he felt the heat in his body becoming more and more intense.

Chu Jingya could feel Jiang Yu's breathing becoming gradually heavier, and even felt like something was pressing against her.

She suddenly became a little flustered and said quickly: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang."

She was usually gentle and calm, but at this moment she was a little flustered. She wanted to get up, but subconsciously reached out to press Jiang Yu's chest for support.

All of a sudden, Jiang Yu reached out and pulled Chu Jingya, who was about to get up, down, and she fell on him again.

Chu Jingya was suddenly a little flustered, and her eyes, like a pool of autumn water, seemed a little at a loss.

"Sister Jingya...I like you so much..."

Jiang Yu looked at Chu Jingya's gentle and beautiful face. Even with her glasses, it couldn't hide her beauty. She was mature and intelligent, in her early thirties, and had a charm that those younger girls didn't have.

Chu Jingya felt her heartbeat quicken a lot at this moment, "thump thump", as if it was about to jump out of her throat. Her cheeks were hot and she didn't dare to look directly into Jiang Yu's eyes.

In her early thirties, she has devoted herself to her career. Although there are many outstanding suitors around her, Chu Jingya doesn't like them. At this age, those who are rich, beautiful, and well-off are not as young as her, and those who are poor are not as rich as her. As for those who are rich and beautiful, she feels that she is not as good as others.

When she was young, she was still yearning for love, especially when she was in college and had just graduated. But later, after she achieved great success in her career, Chu Jingya seemed to no longer yearn for love.

However, now that she is older and her family is constantly urging her to get married, Chu Jingya's mentality has changed again as she sees her friends around her starting families and having children.

As for her boss, Jiang Yu, when she first returned to China and was introduced by Yang Xue to work as Jiang Yu's manager and director of the artist department, Chu Jingya thought Jiang Yu was just a brilliant boss. And a bit of a playboy, after all, she knew some of the things going on between her friend Yang Xue and Jiang Yu.

But after spending some time together, Chu Jingya also discovered that Jiang Yu seemed a little different. Not only was he talented, but he was also very sophisticated and kind to those around him. For example, when she was abroad, some bosses would often get angry with their employees, but here at Jiang Yu's place, he was always very kind to his employees, even often giving out red envelopes to everyone in the company group.

The most important thing is...

Young, handsome, talented, rich, and a nice person. After spending so much time with him, there must be a little bit of other feelings in my heart.

At this moment, Chu Jingya felt her heart scramble. On the one hand, the faint emotion in her heart was infinitely magnified by the close contact at this moment. On the other hand, her inner morality seemed to tell her, no, you can't do this. He is your boss, and he is an ex of your good friend Yang Xue. He is also very unfaithful. This is really not allowed...

But the next moment, when Jiang Yu kissed her, Chu Jingya's mind went blank. She wanted to struggle and break free.

"Mr. Jiang...don't..."

However, the next moment, Chu Jingya felt a tingling sensation in her ears, and her whole body seemed to collapse in Jiang Yu's arms.

"Sister Jingya, I really like you."

The hot air exhaled by Jiang Yu hit Chu Jingya's smooth and white neck, and her crystal earlobes were also attacked, which made Chu Jingya lose the ability to resist.

Chu Jingya seemed a little confused, but the special emotion in her heart was slowly magnified. Gradually, Chu Jingya felt that her mind began to go blank.

……

In the middle of the night, Xiaoyue from next door seemed to be woken up by some noise in a daze. She seemed to hear a woman screaming in pain, but when she woke up and listened carefully, it seemed that there was no sound anymore.

"Hmm? Why did the voice just now sound like Sister Jingya?"

The little girl listened in a daze, but there was no sound again. She thought she was dreaming, so she turned over and fell asleep again.

Xiaoyue fell asleep like this, and slept soundly. In a daze, she seemed to hear some sounds again. She thought it was probably the sound in her dream.

……

The next morning, no, it was around noon when Jiang Yu and Chu Jingya woke up.

Jiang Yu woke up around noon because he drank too much last night and then worked out too late. Chu Jingya, on the other hand, was simply too exhausted from the previous night's exertions.

I originally thought that Jiang Yu was drunk, so I was here to take care of him, but who would have thought that this care would be...

At this moment, Chu Jingya listened to the sound of water coming from the bathroom and took a furtive look. Because she was not wearing glasses, she squinted her eyes slightly. Her myopia was actually not high, but without glasses, she still felt a little blurry.

At this moment, Chu Jingya was a little confused. How could this happen...

Why was I so impulsive last night? Shouldn't I have refused?

Even if there is a little bit of thought, Chu Jingya, you are an employee, you are an agent, you are Yang Xue's good friend, how can you be with your boss, with your best friend's ex...

For a moment, Chu Jingya felt a little irritated. She looked at the ceiling and thought carefully, and slowly her mood calmed down.

She is not a person who likes to be entangled. After thinking it through, she will not feel so upset.

Chu Jingya felt that they were all adults, not children anymore. If this kind of thing happened, it happened. If it was something that both parties agreed to, they should just treat it as solving each other's needs.

I can't really rely on this relationship to make Jiang Yu responsible for me, right?
She was not stupid and knew that this was unlikely. She completely vented the little bit of feelings she had for Jiang Yu this time, just treating it as a one-night stand.

Suddenly, just when Chu Jingya was daydreaming, the bathroom door opened, and Jiang Yu, who had just finished taking a shower and was neatly dressed, appeared in front of Chu Jingya.

All of a sudden, Chu Jingya closed her eyes. She didn't know why. Although she had figured it out in her mind just now, she subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

Jiang Yu also noticed her little trick. Seeing Chu Jingya with her eyes tightly closed, as if afraid that he would notice that she had woken up, Jiang Yu did not expose her. Knowing the current situation, Chu Jingya must have felt embarrassed, so she quietly went out to prepare to have the hotel send two lunches.

There is no way, breakfast time has passed, so I will have lunch directly and fly back to China with Director Chen and others at 10 o'clock in the afternoon.

Sitting on the sofa, Jiang Yu sobered up, but his mind still remembered what happened last night quite clearly. Although he was drunk, his consciousness was not completely blurred at that time. It must be said that the feeling of being with a gentle and intellectual woman like Chu Jingya was really moist.

After what happened last night, Jiang Yu knew very well that Chu Jingya didn't hate him. He could even say narcissistically that maybe Chu Jingya still liked him a little bit. Otherwise, she was fully capable of pushing him away last night when he was drunk, but she was reluctant.

Moreover, there was no big noise or anything like that when she woke up today. Jiang Yu probably knew what Chu Jingya was thinking. At this moment, in the room, Chu Jingya heard the movement outside. It seemed that Jiang Yu had just called the hotel to send lunch up. Looking at the time, it was already eleven o'clock. Chu Jingya knew that she couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore because she had to catch a flight back in the afternoon. At this time, Xiaoyue was probably just waking up from a nap. If Xiaoyue came over after lunch and saw herself lying on Jiang Yu's bed, then...

Chu Jingya immediately prepared to get up and take a shower, but as soon as she stood up, she felt her legs go weak. Chu Jingya felt a little ashamed and angry. She begged for mercy so much last night, but he didn't let her go.

Chu Jingya walked into the bathroom to take a shower tremblingly, and her face felt slightly hot when she looked at the marks on her body.

Jiang Yu heard the faint sound of water coming from the room at this moment, and he knew that Chu Jingya had gotten up. About half an hour later, the hotel had just delivered lunch, and Jiang Yu had just put it on the coffee table when the door of the room opened.

Chu Jingya, neatly dressed and with her hair blown dry, appeared in front of Jiang Yu.

She was still wearing the same outfit as yesterday, jeans and a windbreaker, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and letting her long, slightly curly hair hang loose. She looked radiant, gentle and intellectual.

But at this moment, when the two looked at each other, Jiang Yu seemed to be as usual, and even his tone was very gentle.

"You're up, just in time, come and eat."

Chu Jingya looked at Jiang Yu's gentle appearance with an embarrassed expression, but still nodded. The two of them tacitly did not mention what happened last night.

Sitting opposite Jiang Yu, Chu Jingya was eating lunch. She was too tired from the last night and didn't have breakfast. She slept until noon and was indeed hungry.

Just as the two were having dinner, the doorbell rang. Jiang Yu got up and opened the door, and saw Xiaoyue appear at the door.

"Ah! Boss, wake up! I said I'd come to wake you up."

"I just got up. Have you eaten? If not, I'll order another one for you."

When Chu Jingya heard Xiaoyue's voice, she suddenly became nervous.

But Xiaoyue didn't seem to have any intention of coming in and just stood at the door.

"I'm eating. I just knocked on Sister Jingya's room, but it seems no one is there. We have to catch a flight back home this afternoon. I saw that you were drunk last night, and I was afraid that you were not awake yet, so I came to wake you up first."

Jiang Yu stood at the door and said with a smile, "Oh, Sister Jingya must be busy. Xiaoyue, go pack up first and contact Director Chen and the others later to find out when to leave for the airport."

Xiaoyue nodded, glanced towards the boss's room, and asked her boss again.

"Boss, did you hear any strange noises last night? I don't know why, but late at night I seemed to hear a girl shouting. It sounded a bit like Sister Jingya's voice, but when I listened carefully it was gone."

The little girl approached her boss mysteriously and asked worriedly, "Boss, do you think this is a murder case like in the movies?"

Jiang Yu was also amused by the little girl. Chu Jingya in the room felt her face getting hot at this moment, and she was asking herself in her heart, was she so loud last night?

"I told you to watch less movies and read less novels, and stop imagining things. You probably heard it in a dream. I didn't hear it either. I haven't finished my meal yet. I have to go eat. You go clean up first."

Xiaoyue thought for a moment, "Okay."

"Actually, I also feel like I heard it in a dream..."

Seeing Xiaoyue muttering as she went back to her room next door to pack her luggage, Jiang Yu also smiled. It seemed that there was indeed a lot of noise last night.

Back in the hall, Jiang Yu sat down to continue eating. He glanced at Chu Jingya, and her face seemed to be a little red. He didn't know why. Seeing this usually gentle, intellectual, mature and calm beautiful agent so shy, Jiang Yu couldn't help but tease her.

"Sister Jingya was a little too loud last night and even woke Xiaoyue up."

When Chu Jingya heard Jiang Yu say this, she felt her face get even hotter. She finished her lunch in a hurry and quickly stood up and said.

"I'll go back to my room and clean up first."

Jiang Yu smiled as he watched Chu Jingya fleeing in panic.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yu and his team flew back to China with Director Chen and his team. On the way, Chu Jingya and Xiaoyue sat together. Jiang Yu and Director Chen sat together and chatted. Chu Jingya leaned back slightly in the seat, squinting her eyes and resting.

She felt a little pain when walking and was a little tired, mainly because her mind was a little confused. As soon as she got on the plane, she put on her sunglasses and leaned back in her seat to rest. Xiaoyue also noticed that her sister Jingya seemed very tired. She probably stayed up too late last night to take care of the drunk boss. She was silent and didn't finish her words. It took so long to return home, so she squinted her eyes and rested.

Chu Jingya, however, turned her head slightly, wearing sunglasses, and looked at Jiang Yu who was sitting opposite her and talking with Director Chen and others. There was something complicated in her eyes, and slowly she felt a little ashamed and angry.

……

Domestically, Warner Entertainment.

At this moment, Chu Shaoyang was in the conference room, discussing the company's business development for the year with the heads of several key departments. As one of the four largest companies in China, the start of the new year naturally required careful planning. Furthermore, their company was undoubtedly the number one in the country in terms of its business segments, especially in television dramas. This was their strongest and most important area.

Each of the four major entertainment companies has its own strengths. Warner Bros. excels in television dramas and is considered a leader in this area. The other three major companies, on the other hand, excel in music, movies, and variety shows, all of which are the foundation of their success.

This year, Warner has big plans for TV series, its strongest area.

Chu Shaoyang sat in the first seat, picked up the infrared remote control in his hand, pointed it at the projector and pressed it, and several popular original novels on Yuedian Chinese Network appeared on the screen.

"This year we are still focusing on IP adaptation. In the past two years, there has been a huge explosion of domestic IP adaptation. The film and television dramas invested and produced by our company have achieved very good results in the past year."

Chu Shaoyang spoke softly. Now that his father was semi-retired, he basically handled some of the company's affairs. He had done a pretty good job in the company's business in the past two years.

In particular, he likes to read novels and was the first to smell the trend of IP adaptation. In the past two years, he has bought the copyrights of many popular IPs. Although some adapted TV series have not had a good reputation, the results are still good because the leading actors have high traffic.

Therefore, this year, Chu Shaoyang's goal is to continue investing in the field of IP adaptation, not only to adapt TV series, but also to adapt animation. Of course, TV series are still the focus of their company. He has already taken a fancy to several popular novels on Yuedian Chinese Network, a leading online literature platform in China, and wants to buy them to develop IP and adapt them into film and television series.

"These novels were all hits on Yuedian Chinese last year, and they have a huge fan base. This one, Grave Robbers' Chronicles, in particular, created a new genre of domestic fiction. Before this novel came out, there were very few novels on the topic of tomb raiding on the market."

Chu Shaoyang held the infrared remote control in his hand, and the novel "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and the achievements of this novel appeared on the projector.

"This novel has been at the top of Yuedian Chinese website's monthly ticket rankings and bestseller list for a long time, since its second month on the shelves. It now has an average subscription of 180,000, and it's become a huge hit online. It's a phenomenal novel."

"Also, I took a look at it. Unlike those fantasy novels, this novel is very suitable for adaptation into a film or TV series. After that, I decided to buy the copyright of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and create an IP together with the other novels mentioned above to adapt them into a film or TV series. I think "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" in particular can be our company's key film and television project this year..."

Chu Shaoyang spoke slowly and told the company's executives about some of his company's business arrangements this year and the key projects he was optimistic about.

He's been following the novel "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" himself, even giving a tip to the Golden Alliance. It's truly a good novel, but unlike fantasy novels, which require a lot of budget for special effects and the like, this tomb-raiding novel is a different story. The cost is lower, making it more suitable for TV adaptation.

Moreover, Chu Shaoyang felt that there was no TV series of this theme on the market at present. In addition, this novel was a phenomenal work. As long as it was adapted well, it would most likely become a hit.

Executives from various departments nodded in agreement upon seeing this. Beyond anything else, President Chu had indeed made a fortune over the past two years by leading the company in the field of IP adaptation. Furthermore, directly purchasing popular IPs to adapt into TV series was much simpler; there was no need to waste time writing original scripts; everything was readily available. Furthermore, these popular IP novels had a huge fan base, making their success much greater than that of original TV series.

"Then, Mr. Chu, I think now that the decision has been made, we can start discussing copyright cooperation with Yuedian Chinese Network and the author."

A department executive spoke up. Since they had this plan and had already decided, they had to act quickly. IP adaptations had been very popular in the past two years. What if another company bought the copyright first? Wouldn't their plan be wasted?

Chu Shaoyang also nodded: "The copyright cooperation will be handed over to the relevant departments. Remember, the copyright of the novel "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" must be obtained. I have a feeling that if this novel is well adapted, it will definitely be a hit."

"So, we must obtain the copyright for this novel, even if it means raising the terms a bit."

Chu Shaoyang attaches great importance to the copyright of the novel "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". He has been following the novel. The novel is very good. As long as it is well adapted, the TV series will definitely not be bad.
