Rebooting the top stars, starting with Extreme Challenge

Chapter 83 Holding Old Jia Back

Jiang Chengyu didn't understand why Sun Honglei suddenly asked about this, so he thought for a moment and replied.

"Brother Honglei, you actually believe what's being said online?"

"My relationship with Mr. Le is a bit complicated."

"From my perspective, my relationship with Jia Yueting is somewhat poor."

"But I can indeed say a few words at the Le family."

At this point, Jiang Chengyu paused and then added a sentence.

"However, I have no say in their major internal affairs."

Upon hearing this, Sun Honglei nodded: "That's enough."

"So, you must at least have some inside information about the Le family."

Jiang Chengyu was truly baffled by Sun Honglei's words.

"Brother Honglei, what are you trying to say by suddenly asking about the Le family?"

Seeing this, Sun Honglei didn't hold back and spoke frankly.

"I met Mr. Jia once before the Lunar New Year at a dinner party."

"We had a good chat."

"Later, Mr. Jia invited me to invest."

"The Le family is doing so well now, isn't it?"

"I feel like this is free money!"

"Then I suddenly remembered that you have a good relationship with the Le family."

"I just wanted to ask you more questions."

After listening to Sun Honglei's account, Jiang Chengyu asked a question instead of answering.

"So you've already decided to vote?"

Has there been any substantial progress on the investment?

Jiang Chengyu dared not tell the truth.

No one would say there are no secrets at the dinner table.

If his words were to reach Jia Yueting's ears, countless troubles would arise out of thin air.

Let's just talk about the present.

What if Sun Honglei has already invested the money?

Even if he tells the truth.

I doubt he'd be a good person either.

It might even have the opposite effect.

After all, human nature is too difficult to fathom.

Let's get back to the dinner table.

Again.

Apart from Zhang Yixing, who is still an unevolved little lamb, none of the people present are stupid if you take them out individually.

When he saw that Jiang Chengyu did not give Sun Honglei positive feedback immediately.

Everyone was already thinking about it.

Sun Honglei, as one of the parties involved, felt the same way.

Seeing Jiang Chengyu's attitude of not answering but asking questions, Sun Honglei's heart skipped a beat.

He raised his hand and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

The little eyes blinked twice.

Sun Honglei replied, his voice tinged with the smell of alcohol.

"The investment has made substantial progress."

"I just signed the letter of intent a couple of days ago."

"The money is ready, twenty million."

After finishing his sentence, Sun Honglei pressed for more details, somewhat unwilling to give up.

"Isn't this a bit unreliable?"

"How well is the Le family business doing?"

Sun Honglei's words calmed Jiang Chengyu's heart.

Signing a letter of intent is not a big deal.

As long as the letter of intent doesn't contain any outrageous terms, there's a 90% chance of being able to back out.

Jiang Chengyu wanted to help Sun Honglei.

But these things can't be said openly.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone at the table, Jiang Chengyu calmly picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

He said nonchalantly while eating.

"Brother Honglei, you've really asked the wrong person about this."

"I'm not one of the Le family, how would I know any inside information?"

"If you don't believe me, search it online."

"There are still videos online of Lao Jia making sarcastic remarks about me."

"Old Jia and I have a bit of a clash."

"Anyway, if it were me, I'd only get money from Lao Jia."

"I can't possibly give him a single penny."

"If I had 20 million, I would rather put it in the bank and earn interest."

Jiang Chengyu said so much, but not a single word was answered in response to Sun Honglei.

But to those who are interested, Jiang Chengyu's words were the answer.

At this moment, apart from Zhang Yixing, almost everyone at the table was someone who had something on their mind.

They didn't mention that Jiang Chengyu's words were contradictory.

The metaphors in the words are already quite obvious.

However, Sun Honglei was still unwilling to give up.

In his eyes, no, in everyone else's eyes.

The Le family is currently at the height of its power.

Investing in Le's online is now equivalent to making money for free.

Sun Honglei previously thought that the reason he could get a 20 million investment share was because he had been having good conversations with Lao Jia recently.

He felt he had really gotten Lao Jia hooked.

Jiang Chengyu is now subtly warning him not to invest.

For a moment, he wondered if Jiang Chengyu couldn't stand to see him doing well.

"Jiang Chengyu, what you're saying..."

Sun Honglei had just started speaking when Huang Lei suddenly interrupted him with a stick.

Huang Lei's expression turned serious: "Hong Lei, have you had too much to drink?"

"Recognize your place!"

"You are an actor!"

"If you want to learn business from Jiang Chengyu, I won't say anything."

"But if you're going to argue with Jiang Chengyu about business matters, I suggest you go back to your room and get some sleep."

Huang Bo, who was observing from the sidelines, couldn't help but speak up at this moment.

"Sun Honglei, are you getting too cocky?"

"Think carefully, where did that little bit of money in your bank account come from?"

"Isn't it all earned by working on film sets, filming every day?"

"Where did Jiang Chengyu get his money?"

"Those were all earned by his employees, penny by penny."

"You have the nerve to chat with people about random things."

The wake-up calls from two friends in succession made Sun Honglei stop being so stubborn.

He remained silent for a long while, his face grim.

Then Sun Honglei filled his glass with wine, raised it, and said to Jiang Chengyu.

"I was just having a brain fart, please don't take it to heart."

"I'll punish myself with three drinks, and that'll be the end of it, okay?"

Jiang Chengyu was a little confused.

He didn't say anything, and he didn't do anything, did he?

Why did he punish himself by serving himself alcohol?

Actually, this matter can be attributed to Huang Lei and Huang Bo's deep understanding of Sun Honglei.

If Huang Lei hadn't stopped Sun Honglei from saying what he was about to say, Jiang Chengyu probably wouldn't be thinking like this now.

"Brother Honglei, stop messing around."

"We were just having a normal chat, weren't we?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Honglei said nothing and silently drank three cups in a row.

After finishing his drink, Sun Honglei muttered a curse in a hoarse voice.

"Damn! I knew it! Why did the pie hit me?"

"Damn, they're really getting a bit cocky."

After finishing his rant, Sun Honglei started eating heartily, picking at his food.

Seeing Sun Honglei's disheveled appearance, Huang Lei decisively spoke up to change the subject.

But... the topic wasn't successfully shifted.

Jiang Chengyu's words planted a seed of resentment in the hearts of some people.

It makes you want to explore it further.

Huang Lei and Huang Bo were the leaders among them.

Jiang Chengyu only just realized that a large portion of the Extreme Men's Team were actually related to the Le family.

Let's not talk about Jiang Chengyu.

He is the actual holder of the high-value film and television copyrights held by the Lok family.

The two parties have a cooperative relationship.

Then next year we'll be filming a drama about the Lok family.

Sun Honglei just mentioned that.

If Jiang Chengyu hadn't intervened, he probably would have invested that 20 million.

Here's a side note.

Old Jia is bad at everything he does.

But there is one thing that deserves praise.

That is, he doesn't cheat poor people out of their money.

They're scamming either investors or celebrities...

Let's get back to the point.

Jiang Chengyu never expected that Huang Lei and Huang Bo were also connected to the Le family.

Huang Bo had the shallowest relationship with the Le family.

There is only some cooperation in film and television production.

Then, Jiang Chengyu didn't expect Huang Lei's collaboration with the Le family.

He collaborated with Leshi.com to launch a derivative wine called "Half Moon Legend".
