Star Tycoon

Chapter 197 Star 2
It only took Tian Ersan two hours from leaving his home to getting off the bus at the entrance of the residential area.

The distance between Zhongzhou and the capital is that short.

The woman driving the car was the head of the AI ​​department in Beijing. She drove Tian Ersan directly to the entrance of a residential area on the Fourth Ring Road in her Beijing-registered car.

This is a luxury residential area outside the Fourth Ring Road. As soon as Tian Ersan got out of the car, he saw a woman in her thirties or forties walking quickly towards him.

The woman wore a smooth, blue-and-white porcelain-patterned cheongsam, looking radiant and beautiful.

She doesn't have big breasts or a great figure, but she's pretty.

"Mr. Tian! Welcome, Mr. Tian. I am Li Ting, Ma Jingyue's wife. I used to be an actress, so you probably don't recognize me."

Li Ting greeted everyone with a smile; she is actually a nationally renowned actress.

However, Tian Ersan didn't recognize him and politely said, "Hello."

He behaved very properly and did not look at other people's genitals or chests.

Even when judging by appearance, they greeted each other politely, without the hunger I had expected.

When Li Ting learned that she was to entertain this notorious lecher, she was already mentally prepared to make some sacrifices.

When I actually learned about this, I held back a little, but I was still very excited and looking forward to it.

But when they actually met the 19-year-old billionaire who was even more handsome than in the video and exuded amazing charm from the inside out, they were shocked to find that he didn't seem to be that kind of person at all.

Li Ting's face flushed red. "It's very hot today, Mr. Tian, ​​please get in the car, I'll take you inside."

"Okay, thank you." Tian Ersan followed Li Ting to the nearby car and took a seat in the back.

Li Ting was in charge of driving, and they went directly into the celebrity residential area that had been arranged in advance.

The two entered a garden villa, where various summer flowers were in full bloom, and there was a koi pond and meticulously maintained garden trees.

The villa's interior design is very luxurious, especially the entrance door, which is over a meter high, giving it a grand and elegant feel.

Upon entering the house, you'll see two staircases leading to the second floor. Both staircases lead to the same location, one on the left and one on the right.

"Please have a seat, Mr. Tian."

Li Ting greeted us with a smile, "Old Ma bought this place thirty years ago. We don't usually live here. For the convenience of work and life, our family lives in the city."

Tian Ersan knew that many people owned courtyard houses with views of palaces, but he wasn't interested in those inconveniently located ones; he preferred living in a more comfortable place.

"No wonder, when I came in, I felt this place was more like a place for entertaining guests."

"The house is actually quite big, but the first floor feels like it's all for reception purposes."

Tian Ersan sat on the sofa and looked around. "If the kitchen isn't on the first floor, it's probably on the basement. I noticed the overall size of the space when I came in. There aren't many rooms upstairs where people live, are there?"

Li Ting exclaimed in surprise, "Yes, Mr. Tian is very accurate. This place is used for entertaining people, usually for interviews or to receive VIPs. There are two restaurants and two meeting rooms in total."

Tian Ersan felt that the earliest owners of this place were probably not Ma Jingyue's family. It was more like an old-fashioned style of decoration, and the owner was probably dead.

"I've also worked in architecture, so I know a bit about these things."

Tian Ersan politely asked, "How will we eat later?"

Li Ting smiled and said, "Once Lao Ma and the others arrive, we'll go to the hotel we booked for dinner. We've already told them."

Tian Ersan stood up and said, "I'm going to go for a walk outside. I feel like I'm a little early."

Li Ting didn't know what to say, and she was well aware that she was too old and didn't have that much charm anymore.

Even when she was young, Li Ting couldn't compare to so many beautiful women in the entertainment industry.

Not long after, Ma Jingyue and the others arrived. They had ended the TV series press conference, which they had little expectation for, early and came over.

A group of prominent film and television stars sat together with Tian Ersan.

These people often get together on their own, and this time they added an outsider.

But Tian Ersan himself is a circle, a circle that many people are desperate to get into.

"Ma Yisa, toast President Tian. President Tian is only three or four years older than you, but he's much more successful than you!"

Ma Jingyue took the initiative to arrange for his daughter to toast Tian Ersan.

Ma Yisa raised his glass, "President Tian, ​​I'd like to propose a toast to you."

Tian Ersan picked up his wine glass. "Okay."

Ma Yisa downed the liquor in one gulp and then showed Tian Ersan the empty glass of baijiu.

Tian Ersan was not comparable to her; he only took a tiny sip, just enough to moisten his lips.

"I don't drink often, just a little is enough," Tian Ersan offered as an excuse. "I'm nineteen years old this year, but I don't actually touch cigarettes or alcohol, and I don't have the habit of drinking for social occasions."

Ma Jingyue said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Tian. That's good. My daughter has gone astray abroad and started drinking at a young age. It's my fault for not setting a good example. I'm under a lot of pressure and drink a lot, so I think drinking is normal."

Li Ting served soup to Tian Ersan, saying, "President Tian, ​​please try our signature dish, it's delicious."

Tian Ersan said, "I have a small appetite, so you can eat. I have a team that cooks for me when I'm traveling, and I don't usually eat out."

A group of male and female celebrities nearby felt that this person didn't know how to talk, and the conversation became awkward.

Ma Jingyue remained unmoved and said with a smile, "Yes, the meal was just a side thing. The main thing is to chat and get to know each other. Do you know the two beauties next to President Tian?"

Tian Ersan replied, "We didn't know each other before we met, but we got to know each other after we met."

"Hahaha~" Ma Jingyue sat back and laughed, saying, "Then none of us are celebrities in front of President Tian, ​​we don't have the aura of celebrities. That's good, everyone can stop putting on airs, come on, let's eat and talk."

Li Ting picked up the soup bowl, walked to Tian Ersan's side, and placed the bowl in front of him.

"Mr. Tian, ​​my Yisa knows how capable you are and has wanted to get to know you for a long time."

Ma Yisa was still standing near Tian Ersan when, following her father's instructions, she said, "President Tian, ​​please do me a job."

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "Sit down and talk. Your father is a big director and a big star. It would be great to be a star like your father. My subordinates all have jobs that pay several thousand a month. Our professions are not related."

Ma Jingyue looked at Tian Ersan with a subtle smile, and then said seriously, "President Tian, ​​you flatter me. To be honest, my daughter's grades are not good, and the entertainment industry is too murky. I don't want her to enter the industry."

Tian Ersan laughed and said, "Just because you don't want to now doesn't mean you won't want to later. Take my advice: if you have the ability, get her into the industry as soon as possible. Don't wait until other people's kids have all entered the industry and everyone is scrambling to get in."

Ma Jingyue and the others all looked puzzled.

Shangguan Yingyu asked, "Does Mr. Tian have any inside information?" Tian Ersan replied nonchalantly, "No, but I know that among the few professions that make money quickly and don't require much education, being a celebrity is a very good choice."

"The entertainment industry has its unspoken rules, but what about the official and workplace industries? We are all adults, and we all know how much money we make and how hard we work."

"Even if you can't become a star or get promoted, it's still good to work behind the scenes."

"If you have resources and power but don't use them, it's like a young person who doesn't rely on their family to help them buy a house; they're bound to have a lot of family conflicts in the future."

"I know more young women than many big shots in the entertainment industry have slept with. I'll just tell Director Ma one thing: if you have the ability but don't help your daughter, you should be prepared to lose her in the future."

Ma Jingyue held his wine glass and remained silent for two seconds before quickly standing up and saying, "I know my daughter well. Mr. Tian is right. She's my own daughter, so I should help her when I can. I can't expect her to be like Mr. Tian. I'd like to toast Mr. Tian. Please feel free to do as you please."

Tian Ersan looked at the old man who had also downed a glass of baijiu, smiled, raised his glass, and took a small sip.

The elderly actress Hua Yuqing sat next to her and watched, saying, "Oh~ this is just a little sip, it's not like you're drinking."

Ma Jingyue laughed and said, "Why don't you let Teacher Hua feed President Tian? A kiss would be more effective than President Tian drinking on his own."

Tian Ersan raised his hand to stop him, "Stop worrying about me all the time, this is for Jiang Haishan's birthday."

Then everyone looked at the birthday celebrant.

Jiang Haishan said with a smile, "I see everyone every day, we're all in the same production crew. To be honest, this is the first time I've met President Tian. If it weren't for President Tian, ​​I wouldn't even want to celebrate my birthday."

Hua Yuqing volunteered, "Yes, we originally wanted to celebrate Haishan's birthday, but she said she wasn't feeling well and was too tired to have such a lively celebration."

Tian Ersan looked at Jiang Haishan and asked curiously, "Are you not feeling well?"

Jiang Haishan nodded shyly.

Hua Yuqing, who was standing next to her, explained, "Doesn't President Tian know? Hai Shan is often hospitalized and her health is not good. She often takes leave when filming. This time, thanks to Teacher Ma's help, she was able to get a supporting role in the crew."

Upon hearing this, Tian Ersan casually said, "It's nothing serious, you'll be fine after resting for a while. I happened to bring some cans of Tiantian milk powder with me when I came here, I'll give you one as a birthday present."

Upon hearing that Tian Ersan had given Tian Tian milk powder as a birthday gift, everyone's expressions turned strange.

Standing next to Tian Ersan, Li Ting placed a hand on his shoulder and asked casually and kindly, "President Tian, ​​is this can of Tiantian milk powder you brought a special edition? What's the difference between it and the regular kind you buy at the market?"

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "There is no special supply; it is only for a small number of people."

Tian Ersan looked at Ma Jingyue and said, "There are few men here. Teacher Ma, take out the milk powder and let everyone have a spoonful to taste. The rest can be left for Haishan to use to recover. This stuff can improve immunity and resistance and has no side effects."

Ma Jingyue stood up, smiling, and said, "Great! Mr. Tian's description is so impressive, I'll definitely see just how impressive it is!"

Shangguan Yingyu also went over to help. The two men opened a can of milk powder and each gave the child a spoonful.

The milk powder was dry and yellowish; everyone looked at each other, unsure how to feed it.

Tian Ersan picked up the plate and poured the meat into his mouth. He then used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat, rinsed it on the plate, and put it into his mouth.

The others quickly followed suit and began to learn.

Ma Jingyue carefully licked it with his tongue, unsure of what it was.

But when she came to her senses, she realized that she had already eaten a whole dish of milk powder.

My mouth and brain immediately realized it was wheat flour, and then my limbs and body started to heat up, and my muscles and blood began to function normally.

In just a few breaths, everyone was surprised to feel the changes throughout their bodies.

Shangguan Yingyu exclaimed excitedly, "I can't hear the tinnitus anymore! It's been so many years, and this is the first time it's been so quiet!"

Ma Jingyue sat up straight, "My back doesn't hurt anymore!"

Jiang Haishan's reaction was the most obvious; her face flushed. "What kind of medicine is this? I've never felt so comfortable! Even breathing feels like my whole body is full of energy!"

Tian Ersan said to Jiang Haishan, "It's okay to eat too much of this stuff. You should eat the rest, otherwise people everywhere will be eyeing it."

Jiang Haishan quickly reached out and took the milk powder off the table, then glanced inside.

"It's only half a bucket, how can I possibly eat that?"

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "Just eat it like a meal. There are no side effects even if you eat a lot of this. One spoonful can last for four or five hours. It is a high-energy food."

Jiang Haishan looked at Tian Ersan happily, "Thank you, Mr. Tian! How much is a can of this milk powder? I'll buy a few more!"

Tian Ersan shook his head. "No, this thing is something money can't buy, but..."

Ma Jingyue and the others looked at Tian Ersan, "But what?"

Tian Ersan said helplessly, "This is milk powder developed by a foreign institution. They only gave me some as a friendly gift so far. The rest they use as food for astronauts. However, since it has some connection with both me and Professor Yi, it will continue to be called Tiantian Milk Powder."

Hua Yuqing frowned. "How come the formula went abroad? Didn't Professor Yi leave the formula in China?"

How can someone be so unpatriotic...

If Tian Ersan could produce specially supplied milk powder, his family would definitely be in turmoil, with people from all walks of life coming to ask for it.

But overseas, it all depends on your own abilities.

The reason for bringing this up out of the blue is to address the food problem for astronauts from various countries.

Tian Ersan encouraged all countries to develop their space programs, promising to send milk powder to any family that wanted to go into outer space to alleviate the logistical problems of astronauts.

Of course, there is another explanation for this.

"This milk powder was not developed by Professor Yi, but by a professor from the United States."

Ma Jingyue quickly asked, "Who is this incredibly talented expert?"

Tian Ersan replied, "It is a professor named Duan Tiande."

"Duan Tiande? He's from our country?" Everyone thought he was a foreigner, but he turned out to be Chinese!
Tian Ersan nodded seriously. "He is from Yangzhuang Village in Tao County. Like Professor Yi, he was discriminated against and treated by those incompetent and corrupt people in Tao County. He went abroad shortly after Professor Yi died and is now engaged in aerospace technology research, helping the owner of a company called Smith Interstellar in the United States to land on the moon."

“I didn’t know this person before. It wasn’t until recently when he sent me milk powder that I realized there was such a professor in our county.”

As one of the few industry leaders who did not change their nationality, Ma Jingyue has always had a passionate heart for his country.

"Is this Professor Duan Tiande any good?" Ma Jingyue felt that this professor must be quite capable; the milk powder he developed alone was more advanced than Professor Yi's.

Tian Ersan replied, "I haven't been to school, so I don't know much about him, but since John and the others treat him as a talented person, he must be quite good."
