Chapter 104 Jiang Ye's Unexpected Success
CCTV News Special Report.

Safety warning for consuming wild mushrooms
"Recently, a wild mushroom poisoning incident occurred at a film and television company in Beijing. Director Jiang and company artist Bai, among others, were rushed to the hospital after consuming undercooked Boletus luridus. Experts remind the public that summer is the peak season for wild mushroom poisoning; please do not pick or eat unidentified mushrooms..."

Then came a video shot by a non-professional.

In the scene, Jiang Ye is clinging tightly to the nurses' station sign, shouting, "There's a monster here! Quick, call Sun Wukong!"

The egret beside it waved its arms frantically at the air, as if to say, "Don't come any closer! I don't taste good! I really don't taste good!"

"...The patient is now out of danger. We would like to remind everyone again that wild mushrooms must be thoroughly cooked."

"Hahaha……"

Jing Tian put his phone away, covered his mouth, and laughed so hard he was shaking.

Today she wore a white Chanel knit suit with a V-neck design that subtly revealed her collarbone.

As laughter rose and fell, her stunning figure traced alluring curves beneath the silk fabric, even the diamond earrings on her earlobes swayed gently.

"Little brother..." she wiped away tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, "The way you hugged the nurses' station and called out 'Sun Wukong,' hahaha!"

Jiang Ye stirred his coffee with a dark face and complained, "The media really has too much free time. They don't broadcast so many important national events and social news, but they have to nitpick about this trivial matter."

"What did I do to deserve this? Getting mushroom poisoning is making special news..."

Jing Tian finally stopped laughing, took out a tissue to wipe the coffee that had splashed on the back of his hand, and said with a smile in his eyes, "Okay, okay, don't be angry."

“You see, they didn’t use your full name Jiang Ye directly, they just used ‘Jiang Mou’, which is already giving them face.”

"Besides, the main point of this news is to warn everyone not to eat things indiscriminately. You two have used your personal experience to remind the audience across the country, which can be considered a contribution to the cause of food safety."

She leaned closer and gently tapped his furrowed brow with her fingertip: "But seriously, what was with that part about calling him Sun Wukong? Is he really that hallucinatory after being poisoned? We'll have to investigate the potency of that poison properly later, lest it actually summon a monster next time."

Jiang Ye's face darkened even more from her teasing, and he slapped her hand away: "Still laughing! If you laugh again, I'll take you to try it next time, so you can experience what it's like to shout to the air that it's not tasty!"

The course of events is very simple.

When Jiang Ye and the others were taken to the hospital, they were photographed by enthusiastic residents of Chaoyang District.

After all, this is Yanjing, and cases of wild mushroom poisoning are still quite rare.

Then it was posted on Weibo.

This casually taken photo, which raised some questions, initially circulated only in a small circle among local bloggers until a sharp-eyed netizen zoomed in on the image.

The girl waving her hand at the air in the video is clearly Bai Lu, who just became popular with "Sito"!

"It's Bailu! What happened to her?"

"That guy next to me looks familiar... isn't he Jiang Ye, the director of 'Sito'?"

Those who meticulously researched the clues dug deep and quickly uncovered the whole story.

During an internal dinner at a film and television company in Beijing, director Jiang Ye and his artists, including Bai Lu, tried some wild mushrooms. However, they were all poisoned and hospitalized because the mushrooms were not cooked properly.

As the hashtag #EgretEmergencyRoom# trended on social media, Jiang Ye's identity also came into the public eye.

This post-90s director has two blockbuster films of the year, "Princess Promotion" and "Rattan". He is young and handsome!
Then, Jiang Ye became the laughing stock of the entire internet...

The real "nuclear bomb" came from a special report by CCTV News.

Public figures, and the scene was quite hilarious...

#DirectorJiangYeSeesSunWuKongAfterBeingPoisoned# The number of views exceeded 3 million in half a day, and "the correct way to eat Boletus luridus" and "symptoms of wild mushroom poisoning" also became frequent trending topics.

Netizens' talent for creating memes has been fully unleashed.

Entertainment blogger Entertainment Gossip posted a joking comment: "I suggest applying for intangible cultural heritage status for 'On the Contribution of the Bodhi Seed to the Film and Television Industry,' since it is the only magical species that can instantly turn a cold and aloof director into a follower of Sun Wukong."

Medical student "Medical Monk Xiao Zhang" seriously analyzed: "A typical hallucinogenic reaction to muscarinic poisoning, with physical behavior and verbal logic disconnected, is a textbook case and should be included in medical school teaching videos."

Fans of the TV series "Si Teng" even started making crossover jokes.

"Suddenly I understand! Were those moving vine effects in the show inspired by the director's personal experience when he was poisoned?"

Jiang Ye's Weibo account was completely overrun.

An account that originally had only 5 followers suddenly surged to 180 million overnight, and the super topic was full of "too cute" memes.

Netizens turned the clip of him calling out "Sun Wukong" into memes, adding the quip "I think I see something too cute."

That's how things have turned out. Now, every day, enthusiastic netizens leave messages on Jiang Ye's Weibo.

"Director Jiang, did you see Grandma today?"

Of course, Jiang Ye certainly wouldn't waste this wave of popularity.

He posted a Weibo message that same day.

"Let me introduce you to this Sichuan and Chongqing chef, @TianXiwei, who also plays Geng Geng in 'With You'."

Culinary Specialty: Skilled at using Bok Choy to take you on a journey through another dimension.

Friendly reminder: If you'd like to see Grandma, you're welcome to book a private meal at her home, but we recommend purchasing insurance in advance.

Picture 1 shows Tian Xiwei holding a spatula in the kitchen, looking completely innocent.

Image 2 shows a group of four people from the hospital lying flat, looking utterly hopeless.

Image 3: A still from the drama "With You".

Geng Geng (played by Tian Xiwei) smiles brightly, captioned: "This time it really isn't poisonous, I swear!"

Netizens also enjoyed watching it.

"From the poisonous mushroom incident to the female lead in a youth drama, I'm impressed by this transformation! Director Jiang is really going all out to promote newcomers!"

"I suggest Chef Tian open a 'Jian Shou Qing' experience center, combining murder mystery games with live performances. It would be an absolute hit!"

"Chef Tian, ​​haha, that's hilarious! From now on, your fans should call you Head Chef!"

"Geng Geng is real! This girl's smile is so infectious, suddenly my expectations for the TV series have skyrocketed!"

"The toxin in the herb mainly affects the nervous system, but Tian Xiwei's smile directly attacks the heart, so be careful of excessive sweetness."

The results are also very obvious; Tian Xi's Weibo followers have increased to 11 in the past few days...

It can be said that it became a minor hit before it even aired, which also increased the popularity of the new drama!
……

Jing Tian elegantly stirred the latte in his cup, then looked up at Jiang Ye, who was sitting across from him with a serious expression: "So, how much did you say you wanted to borrow?"

"5000."

Jiang Ye took a document out of his briefcase and pushed it in front of her. "This is a pledge agreement for 30% of Jiangying Media's shares. The annual interest rate is 20% higher than the bank's benchmark rate. The principal and interest will be repaid within three years."

Jing Tian raised an eyebrow and glanced at the documents, then suddenly chuckled, "So formal?"

She gently pushed the document back, saying, "I don't want your shares."

Jiang Ye frowned: "This is the basics of commercial lending..."

“I believe you,” Jing Tian interrupted him. “I earned much more than that from ‘Sito’.”

She suddenly leaned closer, her red lips slightly parted: "And I won't ask for interest, but there's one condition..."

"What conditions?"

"Next time we eat mushrooms," she suddenly smiled slyly, "remember to invite your sister too."

"Hahaha..." Jiang Ye, his face dark, pulled out a pen and scribbled an IOU on the paper: "Annual interest rate 8%, payable quarterly. Default clause."

Jing Tian rested her chin on her hand, gazing at his earnest profile, then suddenly reached out and pressed down on the IOU: "You know what? The way you take things so seriously..."

She gently pulled the paper away, saying, "It makes you really want to invest."

……

Back at the company, Jiang Ye leaned back on the sofa and dialed his uncle Lin Jianjun's number. The sound of mahjong tiles clattering came through the receiver.

"Uncle, are you busy?"

"I just won a round, what's up? Tell me quickly, don't let your winning streak be interrupted."

"I'd like to borrow 1000 million from you. It's not a loan, but an investment in my company. We'll share the profits proportionally in the future."

Suddenly, there was silence on the other end of the phone; even the clatter of the mahjong tiles stopped.

A few seconds later, Lin Jianjun's voice was laced with gritted teeth: "You little brat, are you trying to rip me off? This is my life savings for my funeral! If you dare to lose it all, I'll smash you on the back of the head with a mahjong tile!"

"Have your aunt transfer it to you tonight, and remember to get a contract!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jianjun put his phone on the table and continued playing cards.

Seeing this, the card players next to him laughed and joked, "Old Lin, wasn't that Jiang Ye just now? Your nephew's doing pretty well lately, why does he need to borrow money?"

"You're willing to give him your life savings? You're that trusting?"

Lin Jianjun leaned back in his chair, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"There must be some good project coming up again!"

"There's nothing we can do; everyone says a nephew resembles his uncle."

"That adventurous spirit of his is exactly the same as mine when I was young..."

"Besides, those two dramas he filmed were so popular; he's not the type to mess around. If a young man wants to do something worthwhile, shouldn't his uncle give him more support?"

Jiang Ye immediately called his mother, Lin Huahua, after hanging up with his uncle.

"Mom, how much money do we have left?"

Lin Huahua's voice was filled with concern: "What's wrong? Is your precious son short of money?"

“Your dad recently received a payment for a construction project, which, combined with the family savings, amounts to about 6.7 million.”

"Mom, keep 100 million for emergencies, and transfer the rest to my account. The company needs it for a new project."

Suddenly, a father's roar came from the other end of the phone: "You brat! Didn't you make a fortune filming TV shows? You haven't even bought your dad a fishing rod, and you still have the nerve to ask for money? This money is for you to save up to buy a wedding house and get married!"

"Jiang Daming, shut up!" Lin Huahua's voice instantly rose. "My son is a famous director, doing legitimate work. What do you know? He's a successful man now. Show him some respect when you speak!"

Jiang Daming: "..."

Listening to the bickering on the phone, Jiang Ye smiled helplessly and said, "Mom, it's nothing, Dad was just saying it casually. The money isn't urgent, you can transfer it to me tomorrow."

"Okay, Mom will prepare it for you right away." Lin Huahua replied, then muttered a few more words of scolding to Jiang Daming before hanging up the phone.

Her family status is self-evident.

……

In the evening, at Meng Ziyi's apartment

The air in the bedroom still carried the lingering dampness and heat, and the sweet scent of shower gel mixed with a faint smell of sweat floated in the warm yellow light.

The sofa cushions were askew and one corner was sagging, and a few pieces of clothing were scattered haphazardly on the carpet...

Meng Ziyi nestled lazily in Jiang Ye's arms, her silk nightgown slipping down to its lowest point.

Her long hair was damp with sweat, strands clinging to her flushed cheeks and neck, even her earlobes glistening with moisture.

She was so tired that her eyelids were heavy, and her fingertips were weakly tracing circles on his arm.

He chuckled softly, tightened his arms around her, and pressed his chin against her hair.

"By the way, about the money I mentioned to you before, how much can you raise on hand?"

"You're going to use it?"

Meng Ziyi thought for a moment and said seriously, "I should be able to raise 2000 million. You didn't let me ask my parents before, this money is what they gave me to buy a house, and... I told my dad a few days ago that I wanted to buy a car, and he secretly transferred some money to me, but I didn't touch it."

"Buy a car?"

"I was just kidding," she stuck out her tongue, her nose brushing against his collarbone, causing a ticklish sensation. "I said my dad would definitely give me the money to buy a car. I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow, is that enough? If not, I'll try to borrow some more from my friends."

Jiang Ye pinched her sweaty cheek. "Aren't you going to ask me what I'm going to do with this money? What if I use it to gamble and lose it all?"

Meng Ziyi snuggled deeper into his arms, burying her face in the crook of his neck and nuzzling him: "I'll support whatever you do. Anyway, you won't let me suffer, right, Director Jiang?"

"Besides, if you really lose money, I can just ask my dad for it!"

"I can take care of you then, hehe!"

"By the way, if you lose money, you'll have to pay for it with your body!"

Jiang Ye was puzzled by Meng Jie's expression, which seemed to be hoping he would suffer a loss.

This girl's thought process is just different from others...

He lowered his head and kissed her sweaty forehead: "Don't worry, I won't let you live in a small house."

……

The next day, when Jiang Ye arrived at the company, the money from all parties had already been received.

Jing Tian has 5000 million, Sister Meng has 2000 million, and the family has 1500 million, totaling 8500 million.

He didn't touch the money in Jiangying Media; the company currently has over 5000 million yuan in its account, which is his core business.

The company needs to grow, and it also needs to film "Zhou Sheng Ru Gu" and "One Life One World", both of which require working capital.

Moreover, he has other plans for the company's money!

We cannot exhaust the resources of a resource-intensive endeavor!

Jiang Ye has a very clear plan for his development.

He never wanted to simply create a blockbuster; he wanted to build his own film and television group.

From content creation to artist management, from IP incubation to capital operation, they control the entire industry chain and no longer have to rely on anyone else.

He wants to become capital!

From his unconventional approach to filming "Go Princess Go" to gaining Jing Tian's friendship through filming "Si Teng," besides proving his worth, he also had another very important purpose.

I need to borrow money!

Whether you borrow money from your family or from Jing Tian, ​​the prerequisite is to prove your ability first.

Of course, Sister Meng was an exception...

Once he had the money, what he needed to do was very simple: buy a stock.
