Star Tycoon

Chapter 114 Female Star

Although she came to Shanghai and moved into a luxury house with a river view, Zhang Shuya, who earns a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, has no money to spend.

Fortunately, Tian Ersan came here to have fun, not to sleep.

After finding out where they were staying, the three of them went out to take pictures by the river and visited several famous scenic spots.

Tian Ersan felt it was about time, so he said to Lü Huran, who was taking a walk with him, "Ms. Lü, we can go back by ourselves, and you can go home now."

Upon hearing this, Lü Huran smiled and asked, "Does President Tian have an appointment?"

Tian Ersan nodded. "I know a celebrity, but I'm not very familiar with celebrities. Do you know Luo Xuehui?"

Lü Huran smiled after hearing this.

"I've met her a few times. She was popular in a TV series when I was a child. Later, people didn't like watching those kinds of period dramas anymore. I heard that she now does some commercial performances, and her appearance fee is tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan."

Tian Ersan felt that tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan was not a small amount.

"Is Ms. Lü very familiar with celebrities?"

"I guess so." Lü Huran nodded, her smile suggesting something was amiss.

Tian Ersan asked, "Does that count?"

Lü Huran didn't hide anything, "These celebrities make money quickly and spend money quickly, and they have always been a customer group that various banks try to attract. Our bank has the contact information of various celebrity studios. If you want it, I think it will be a good thing for everyone."

Tian Ersan hadn't expected this, and when he found out, he thought it was perfectly normal.

Celebrities who make money quickly and spend it quickly are indeed more in line with the business needs of banks than most entrepreneurs.

Celebrities make money much faster than entrepreneurs; with one movie a month, they can easily earn hundreds of millions a year.

Not to mention their various private business dealings and variety shows.

"I'm suddenly wondering, for your bank, which is more valuable: a company with sales of over 100 million or a celebrity who can earn 100 million a year?"

Lü Huran smiled and said, "It's hard to say. Sometimes it's not something our bank can decide."

Tian Ersan smiled and nodded. "I understand."

The bank doesn't want to lend money to businesses, but with county and city leaders involved, they can't really refuse to approve it.

Celebrities are just rich; they don't have influence over public opinion.

Entrepreneurs have more freedom than celebrities, and their influence in specific regions is far beyond what celebrities can match.

Money is indeed important to banks, but sometimes it's not that important.

Lü Huran said, "Then I won't bother Mr. Tian any longer. Mr. Tian can contact me if he needs anything."

Tian Ersan nodded. "I'm sorry to trouble you today. If I have anything to do, I will definitely contact Miss Lü during the day so as not to disturb her rest."

Lu Huran waved goodbye, "I also wish President Tian a pleasant rest tonight."

They both smiled and said goodbye.

Tian Ersan looked at Zhang Shuya and said, "Let's go, the big star invited us to stay at her house."

Zhang Shuya asked, "Aren't you going back to stay at that place?"

"I don't want to stay here," Tian Ersan said casually, and then waited for Zhang Shuya by the roadside.

Not long after, a car that looked to be worth several hundred thousand yuan pulled up next to them.

The driver's side window rolled down, and a woman who looked to be in her early thirties, with a cheerful and enthusiastic smile, struck up a conversation with Tian Ersan.

"Mr. Tian, ​​please get in the car."

Tian Ersan got into the passenger seat. "Sister Xuehui, did you just arrive in Shanghai?"

"Yes, I just got home." Luo Xuehui rolled up the car window and looked at the beautiful woman in the rearview mirror. "What's your name, ma'am?"

Tian Ersan introduced, "Zhang Shuya is a female employee in my office, one of my own."

Zhang Shuya greeted the big star on TV in front of her politely, "Hello, Sister Xuehui."

When Luo Xuehui heard that it was Tian Ersan's office employee, and one of her own, she quickly understood what it meant.

"Hello." Luo Xuehui quickly continued talking to Tian Ersan. "Why are you staying at my place? I haven't cleaned up for over a month. Weren't you living in a mansion?"

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "If you're not used to staying here, since you've come all this way to see me, of course you should stay at my place. Or we can cook for you later as payment for your lodging."

Luo Xuehui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have the nanny buy groceries and clean up. Once she's done, I'll let her go home."

“OK!” Tian Ersan readily agreed.

Luo Xuehui laughed, and after the pleasant laughter subsided, she continued to speak cheerfully while driving.

"We've only known each other for less than a minute, isn't this moving too fast?"

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "Really? I feel like we hit it off immediately and quickly became friends. There's nothing wrong with being a little closer."

Luo Xuehui laughed and said, "That's too intimate. You must do this kind of thing all the time, right?"

Tian Ersan replied, "The female celebrity is the first one. In total, there are no more than five. I'm the kind of person who's busy with my career when I need to be busy, and I relax and have fun when I need to relax."

Luo Xuehui slowed down and drove towards her own residential area. "This is good. I am also this kind of person. I say what I think, without hiding anything or bullying anyone."

"If others have something to eat and I don't, I will definitely fight for it, but I will never kick someone when they are down or frame them."

"Let's just consider this a friendship. I'm very happy to have a friend like you!"

Tian Ersan really liked this kind of auntie's personality. "Me too."

Luo Xuehui continued, "I bought your clothes when I was in Beijing. I especially like the phrase 'self-improvement'."

Tian Ersan laughed and said, "Won't it look too small if I wear it? It seems like all my clothes are men's styles."

Luo Xuehui knew exactly what Tian Ersan was talking about, but she didn't dislike it at all, and went along with his topic.

"I'm a little thin, but I can fit into it. I'll put it on and you can see."

"okay!"

Despite being more than ten years apart in age, the two quickly found themselves chatting very happily.

Zhang Shuya felt very embarrassed and regretted not coming.

The lives of celebrities and the wealthy are no different for Tian Ersan. Luo Xuehui's mansion is spacious and bright, with more rooms than usual, and it is located in a prime location.

The nanny was an older woman dressed in white. Luo Xuehui didn't seem to like her, so she sent her out to buy groceries, paid her, and sent her away. Tian Ersan and Zhang Shuya were cooking in the open kitchen.

Luo Xuehui sat on a high stool with her arms resting on the counter in the open kitchen, watching Tian Ersan and Zhang Shuya tidy up the tableware and ingredients.

"Mr. Tian can cook?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Xuehui realized the problem and said with a smile, "I forgot. Mr. Tian is a man who can do a lot of work. Actually, I used to cook a lot when I was a child."

“I grew up in a small county town in northern China. I helped with cooking when I was with my grandparents. Later, I went to school when I was sixteen, and after I started making movies and TV series at the age of twenty, I never cooked for myself again. Others cooked for me, and I was responsible for earning money.”

Luo Xuehui quickly began to talk about her own story. While watching Tian Ersan cook in the kitchen, she recounted her work experience, romantic relationships, and two marriages as if recalling a past.

She is a free-spirited woman who did not become enemies with her two husbands after their separations, and in fact, she has many suitors who want to marry her.

Of course, I've also thought about the future. Like most female celebrities in their thirties, I'm taking it one step at a time and just want to make more money right now.

As for what to do to make money, they don't have any long-term plans. Some people open studios and become bosses, some work behind the scenes as directors, some go into business, and some want to find a good family to marry into.

Having grown accustomed to material comforts and the dazzling world, people have fewer choices, and most marriages end in chaos.

The entertainment industry in this world is even more famous, producing several excellent works every year, which gives many young beauties a chance to stand out.

With a large influx of male and female stars, some relatively unknown older actresses have naturally been weeded out; now, actresses in their thirties are starting to play mothers.

After playing the role of a mother, she basically lost her chance to be a leading lady among young actresses.

Before dinner, Luo Xuehui was telling her story. After dinner, the three of them watched TV together, and Tian Ersan was telling his story, including how he met Zhang Shuya and his entrepreneurial stories about the shopping festival he was busy with recently.

Luo Xuehui was very curious about these things, and kept asking questions while drinking.

She quickly got drunk and fell asleep. It was just a simple sleep, nothing happened. Tian Ersan wouldn't do anything to a drunk woman.

When Luo Xuehui woke up the next day, she slowly sat up and quickly recalled what had happened the day before.

I looked at my clothes; they were the same ones I wore yesterday, except I was missing my shoes and coat, and my hair was loose.

Luo Xuehui quickly got out of bed and left the bedroom.

I don't mind something happening, I'm just curious about what happened yesterday.

When Luo Xuehui went out, she saw Tian Ersan watching TV and playing on his phone in the living room.

Tian Ersan turned his head to look at Luo Xuehui. The morning sun of summer shone on the floor of the living room near the balcony, reflecting a large area of ​​white light.

Luo Xuehui saw Tian Ersan's youthful face, fair complexion, black eyebrows that gave a sense of kindness and simplicity, and tender, caring eyes.

"Are you feeling alright? After you fell asleep yesterday, I carried you back to bed. Seeing that you didn't vomit or talk nonsense, I went to sleep in the next room. Did your head hurt when you woke up?"

Luo Xuehui smiled and walked over to sit down. "It doesn't hurt. I had promised to keep you company yesterday and planned to have some drinks to liven things up, but I ended up drinking too much without realizing it."

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "It's okay, I feel very happy."

Luo Xuehui took the initiative to say, "Then while no one's around, I'll make it up to you properly."

When Tian Ersan saw Luo Xuehui reaching out to do that kind of thing, he smiled and stopped her.

"I'm going to talk business with someone later. I've already asked Sister Ya to buy some food. After dinner, I'll be meeting with some local bigwigs. We'll talk more tonight."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuehui looked troubled, "I have an event tonight and need to go back to Beijing."

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "It's okay. We should focus on our careers. We'll have some fun when we have time. After a busy day at work, we can relax properly."

Luo Xuehui smiled and nodded, then stood up and said, "I'm going to take a shower now. You can peek all you want."

Tian Ersan held up his phone. "It's very troublesome. Many people know I'm in Shanghai. Taking a vacation isn't easy. I'm going to meet with local officials this afternoon. There might be some cooperation in the future."

Luo Xuehui knew that Tian Ersan was very popular in many places.

Unlike popular celebrities, entrepreneurs like Tian Ersan have more prestige and greater influence.

"If we have the chance, we should cooperate properly." Luo Xuehui smiled at Tian Ersan, then quickly wiggled her hips and went to take a shower.

You can hear the sound of showering, and even singing, from the living room.

In a great mood, Luo Xuehui sang the theme song of the TV series while taking a shower.

Not long after, Luo Xuehui came out wearing a towel.

With towels draped across her shoulders, Luo Xuehui's hair was already dried. She swayed into the living room like a queen in a TV drama and sat down gracefully next to Tian Ersan.

Just as she was about to speak, Luo Xuehui's own phone rang.

Luo Xuehui reluctantly got up and went to the bedroom naked to answer the phone.

Luo Xuehui came out shortly after, already dressed.

"Mr. Tian, ​​I have to go back to make preparations. I'm sorry, let's reschedule for another day."

"Okay, you can take the key. I'll go back to my room tonight."

As Luo Xuehui changed her shoes, she smiled and said, "No need, you can stay here. This house should have more people around."

Tian Ersan didn't refuse, "Okay, I guarantee that when I leave it will be exactly the same as when I moved in."

Luo Xuehui quickly went back and brought two more keys from the bedroom. "These are the keys to my two cars. Use them as you see fit, and you can pay for the gas."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Xuehui!" Tian Ersan stood up and took the keys.

The two looked into each other's eyes, quickly embraced and kissed for a while before separating, each busy with their own careers.

It's unknown what Luo Xuehui is busy with outside, or who might be with her.

After Zhang Shuya returned, Tian Ersan took her to a banquet, where they met many big shots in Shanghai.

Shanghai is an industrial city, and it doesn't have much to do with agriculture and food in Hetian, but it has always taken good care of entrepreneurs.

Tian Ersan has already demonstrated the potential to pay taxes, and his reputation is also quite good, so he is naturally popular.

Although many people were willing to help arrange for him to pursue further studies at a university, or even at a business university abroad, Tian Ersan refused them all.

Going to school would not benefit Tian Ersan at all, and Tian Ersan did not want to expand any social network.

Especially after having more and more people around him to take care of him, Tian Ersan is more inclined to "rent" relationships with outsiders, maintaining only superficial connections.

After spending three days in Shanghai and visiting all the must-see attractions, Tian Ersan told Zhang Shuya to go home by herself.
