Pirates began to dominate the Chinese entertainment industry.

Seeing that Gao Yuanyuan had difficulty walking, Ji Yun simply picked up the big star in her arms and carried her to the room at the very end of the corridor.

The house was neatly furnished and fully equipped with all the necessities for daily life.

Ji Yun gently placed her on the bed, took off her white canvas shoes, brought a towel and a washbasin and placed them by the bed, and poured a glass of water and placed it on the bedside table.

He turned to leave, but Da Meiyuan grabbed his arm from behind and pulled him back.

Ji Yun had just lifted one leg when she was pulled down and sat on the edge of the bed, turning her head to look at her.

Da Meiyuan's close-fitting cardigan had its neckline wide open, revealing her fair and translucent chest skin. A cleavage stretched across the snow-capped mountains, dazzlingly beautiful.

Before Ji Yun could speak, she sat up and hugged him tightly, burying her head in Ji Yun's chest.

Her hair was messy and curly, exuding a fresh, grassy scent.

Gao Yuanyuan took two deep breaths and then buried her head in Ji Yun's shoulder.

Her red lips were just inches away from Ji Yun's neck, and the hot breath she exhaled made Ji Yun's pores stand on end.

"Sister Yuanyuan, you're drunk." Ji Yun pressed down on her head.

Gao Yuanyuan murmured in her sleep, but held Ji Yun even tighter, her slender fingers gently caressing Ji Yun's body, getting closer and closer to her sensitive areas.

Ji Yun pressed her hand down again, "Sister Yuanyuan, are you drunk?"

"I...feel unwell, stay with me for a bit," Da Meiyuan said in a muffled voice.

"That won't do. It's inconvenient for a man and a woman to be alone together; it could lead to misunderstandings." Ji Yun narrowed her eyes.

Gao Yuanyuan bit her lip, raising her hazy, starry eyes: "What if I'm not drunk?"

Ji Yun leaned close to her ear: "Then let's call it mutual consent."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled, looking at Ji Yun with a provocative gaze, and brought her red lips closer.

Their noses touched, and she gently rubbed them together a couple of times. When their cheeks met, Gao Yuanyuan trembled and whispered, "Ji Yun..."

Ji Yun lifted her long legs and climbed up.

……

It was still light in the afternoon.

Ji Yun lay shirtless on the bed.

Gao Yuanyuan was fast asleep with her head on his arm, completely naked and nestled in Ji Yun's arms. Her warm breath brushed against Ji Yun's shoulder, and her beautiful legs wrapped around Ji Yun's legs.

Ji Yun carefully got up, picked up her clothes and put them on, then glanced back.

But they found that Gao Yuanyuan had already sat up and was leaning against the headboard. The silk quilt in front of her chest had slipped down, revealing her fair and delicate shoulders.

"woke up?"

"Hmm." Gao Yuanyuan watched Ji Yun prepare to leave silently, feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart, but her expression remained languid. "Gone?"

"I'm going to check out Mahua FunAge; they'll be performing later," Ji Yun said.

"Okay." Gao Yuanyuan stared at him, forced a smile, and said in a casual tone, "What happened just now is over. I don't want to talk about feelings right now. At your age and with your wealth, there's no possibility between us. I'm still your agent."

"You're doing a really good job as my manager," Ji Yun smiled and leaned closer. "However, I'm also thinking of asking you to be my personal assistant again. What do you think?"

Gao Yuanyuan was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood and laughed heartily: "Working for free?"

"Of course not, the reward is very... generous."

"Okay, then I'll work a little harder."

"I'll go check on her first. You get some rest." Ji Yun kissed her lips.

The kiss was light and natural.

Gao Yuanyuan felt a sweet warmth in her heart and returned a few light kisses.

He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come find you."

After saying that, she watched him turn around, wave, and close the door before reluctantly lying back down.

……

Ji Yun went downstairs and took a look at the house's owner, the princess, before leaving.

Unfortunately, she was still fast asleep.

Ji Yun sent her a text message to let her know that she was about to leave.

"Gone?" A woman's voice rang out; it was Yu Feihong's voice.

Ji Yun turned her head and saw her sit up. The blanket slipped off, revealing her clothes underneath.

"Okay, I have to go now."

Yu Feihong glanced at her watch. "I've slept for two hours, I should go too. You're new to Beijing, don't you have a car? I'll give you a ride."

Ji Yun stared at her for a while, then smiled and agreed.

Ji Yun got into her car, an imported black Volvo XC90, safe and reliable. Although it was a bit heavy, it was quite suitable for a dignified and elegant intellectual like Yu Feihong.

Yu Feihong turned to look at him: "You look refreshed, did you sleep well?"

"Sleeping is good for your physical and mental health," Ji Yun said casually.

When he first woke up, he noticed that his body seemed to be more toned, and when he looked in the full-length mirror, it even seemed to have a shaping effect.

He could clearly feel that his body, both physically and mentally, was getting stronger with each night's sleep—it was almost unbelievable, but thankfully still within the normal range. He just wondered... what if he became too strong in the future?

Unexpectedly, Yu Feihong nodded in agreement: "That's common sense."

"..." Ji Yun looked at her gentle and dignified mature woman appearance, and from her teasing eyes, she seemed to understand something.

He smiled dismissively. They were all cunning old foxes; what was there to be afraid of in flirting?

……

Ji Yun picked up the phone: "Manager Liao, I'm in Beijing. Could you prepare some cash for me and have someone send it to the address I sent you? I'll receive it there."

"How much... let's prepare 10 boxes."

After explaining, he hung up.

"What do you want to buy?" Yu Feihong asked curiously.

Have you heard of Happy Twist?

Yu Feihong frowned, thought for a long time before remembering something, and tentatively asked, "The one opened by Professor Tian Youliang of the Central Academy of Drama?"

Ji Yun nodded. "It's that company, but he sold his shares and withdrew a couple of years ago."

Happy Twist was founded in 2003 by a director and teacher at the Central Academy of Drama, a journalist, and an architect. Each of the three invested 10 yuan, holding one-third of the shares. However, due to poor management, director Tian Youliang sold his shares to another shareholder at the original price in 04. Had he not sold them, they would likely have been worth over 20 billion yuan more than a decade later.

"I heard that the theater troupe doesn't have many audience members and is losing money," Yu Feihong kindly reminded her.

"If everyone else is interested, it won't be my turn to make a move," Ji Yun said with a smile.

Yu Feihong glanced at his relaxed and confident demeanor and nodded in agreement.

The Volvo drove slowly all the way and eventually entered the Central Academy of Drama, which is also located in Dongcheng District.

Today, Mahua FunAge rented a theater at the Central Academy of Drama to perform a stage play version of "Crazy Stone".

Currently, their resources are limited. Their headquarters are in Tongzhou, and they can only rent theaters in the city to perform. They can only perform a total of five plays.

Ji Yun glanced around the doorway.

Perhaps because they were all older plays, there were only a few scattered audience members at the event, indicating poor sales.

But as the two buses pulled up to the theater entrance, groups of audience members began to disembark one after another.

The scene immediately erupted in a cacophony of voices.

Yu Feihong said she was fine and came along too.

Looking at the scene, she gasped, her red lips slightly parted: "Didn't they say ticket sales weren't good? Why are there so many people?"

Ji Yun glanced at the crowd and realized that Mahua was "cultivating the market".

He was suddenly surprised when he saw a girl in the crowd who looked quite familiar.

Yu Feihong looked around but couldn't find the ticket counter, so she asked the pretty young girl, "Excuse me, where did you buy your ticket?"

The girl had distinct Western Region features: a classic oval face, large, deep eyes that sparkled, a high, straight nose with a strong three-dimensional look, and a slender, tall figure over 1.7 meters. She exuded a cool, aloof, and noble air, yet also seemed somewhat dazed.

Ji Yun recognized her immediately by her distinctive appearance. "Isn't this our Nazha? She looks so young!"
