The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

Mei Ting shook his head and smiled, then said:

"I'm just a little disgusted by her shameless flattery. These days, there aren't many real fools."

Su Cheng laughed awkwardly from the side.

Fang Xiaoxiao is her current boss, and she doesn't want to speak ill of Fang Xiaoxiao behind her back.

As they were talking, the director walked over with a young man:

"Sister Mei, look, who's here?"

Duan Chengxuan greeted him with a smile:

"Hi, Sister Mei!"

"Oh, Mr. Duan, what brings you here in person? Are you here to inspect the work?"

Mei Ting looked at Duan Chengxuan in surprise and said with a smile.

In the entertainment industry, Duan Chengxuan, who already heads a medium-sized entertainment company, certainly holds a much higher position than Mei Ting, who is only an actor.

But now that Mei Ting has become a top-tier actress, she is no longer a nobody at the mercy of capital. Although her status has decreased, she still has the right to have equal dialogue.

"No, no, I came to visit you on set!"

Duan Chengxuan smiled.

In terms of his niche, he is superior to Mei Ting, but he is not so arrogant as to casually give a first-tier female star a hard time.

Coordinating relationships, maintaining the efficiency of the production team, and ensuring a high return on investment are the key principles!

"narcissism?"

The moment Su Cheng saw Duan Chengxuan, those words just slipped out.

no way.

The memory of asking Duan Chengxuan for a ride and being mocked by him as a toad trying to eat swan meat is still too vivid for me.

If Bai Ye hadn't come to her rescue, she probably would have argued with him right there in the street.

"you……"

Duan Chengxuan glanced at Su Cheng, then at Bai Ye, and forced a smile:

"So Brother Baiye, you also know Sister Mei? What a coincidence."

"Brother Baiye?" *2

The director and Mei Ting were both dumbfounded.

You know, Duan Chengxuan is currently the president of Xingyu Entertainment, a rising star in the entertainment industry, with a net worth of at least seven or eight hundred million. He's young and accomplished, and can be considered a big shot in the industry. Unexpectedly, he suddenly calls a man who, apart from being handsome, doesn't seem to have any other outstanding features "big brother"...

You should know that he calls Mei Ting "Sister Mei" because Mei Ting is old, a veteran artist, and is respected, not because any random person of the same age can be called "brother" or "sister" by Duan Chengxuan.

"Xiao Duan, you've already asked your sister to confirm it, now you know, right? I really am your sister's good friend."

Bai Ye laughed loudly, stepped forward, and patted Duan Chengxuan on the shoulder.

Mei Ting then realized that Bai Ye's earlier statement that he owned several houses and was waiting to collect rent was a humble remark, and that he was not actually a landlord!

Mom!

These young people are far too modest these days. They're not young and impetuous at all. If I had a bad temper, I might offend them at some point.

It's not that offending some big capitalist would make it impossible for her, a top-tier actress, to survive, but it would certainly be an extremely troublesome matter.

“Indeed, my sister said that she doesn’t have many good friends in her life, only a few, but Brother Baiye, you are definitely the one she is closest to.”

Duan Chengxuan said against his conscience.

There's no other way. Xingyu really needs investment right now, and Bai Ye is the kind of person who has money but doesn't know what to do with it. So, isn't it only right to have his "former" brother-in-law help his brother-in-law spend some of it?

He spoke very toughly before, but in reality, money is the only truth. No matter what, he had to get the money out of Bai Ye's pocket first. As for his attitude towards Bai Ye afterwards... that would depend on his mood.

"Haha, your sister's words are a bit too much."

Bai Ye smiled.

As they spoke, everyone took their seats.

Mei Ting joked:

"Xiao Bai, you've gone too far! Humility is a virtue, but excessive humility is arrogance. Based on your previous introduction, I thought you were a local from Shanghai with three or four houses!"

"Sister Mei, so that's how Brother Baiye introduces himself to you? He's too modest. My sister told me that Brother Baiye owns at least a hundred properties in first-tier cities. He just has so much money that he doesn't know what to do with it, so he can only use it to buy houses."

Duan Chengxuan immediately explained on Bai Ye's behalf.

Director Yang Lei and Mei Ting both stared wide-eyed.

In first-tier cities, there are hundreds of properties...

These houses alone must be worth at least a billion yuan, and possibly more.

This person is definitely rich!

Despite being in the entertainment industry for so many years, Mei Ting's net worth can only be considered to be barely over 100 million.

Bai Ye looked at Duan Chengxuan suspiciously:

"Xiao Duan, you're flattering me a bit too much. Is there something you need my help with?"

Duan Chengxuan's flattery of him almost went beyond the boundaries of brother-in-law and brother-in-law, making Bai Ye unconsciously a little wary.

He's not like those seventy- or eighty-year-old men and women who, after hearing a few enthusiastic praises from a salesperson, will spend their retirement savings on a bunch of health products.

“Brother Baiye, look at what you’re saying. Aren’t we family? I’m just clarifying the facts for you, what’s wrong with that!” Duan Chengxuan said, “My sister already told me to treat you like my own brother.”

Duan Chengxuan felt nauseous as he said these words.

But the thought of Bai Ye's abundant cash flow made him hold back.

It's just a way to make a living, nothing to be ashamed of!

Bai Ye: "Given my relationship with your sister, I would definitely do my best to help with small things, but I probably can't do much to help with big things. I'm always traveling all over the world and don't have much of a foothold in China."

"Hehe..." Duan Chengxuan chuckled and said, "It's nothing big. My sister just told me that you have a lot of insights into investment, Brother Bai Ye. My company, Xingyu, is currently negotiating for financing, so I wanted to ask you for your advice."

"Investment?" Bai Ye thought for a moment: "Tell me about it first."

"Mr. Duan, shall we excuse ourselves for a moment?"

Mei Ting said astutely.

Duan Chengxuan: "No need for Sister Mei, it's not a sensitive matter. I've been worrying lately about whether or not to accept the investment from Jingyan Group."

"Jingyan Group?"

Bai Ye raised an eyebrow.

Duan Chengxuan: "Yes, Brother Bai Ye, you may not know, but Jingyan Group is a newly established real estate company with assets of several billion and a very powerful network of connections..."

Bai Ye's expression was strange as he said, "But why would Jingyan Group, a real estate company, suddenly want to invest in your Xingyu? Isn't that a bit too much of a cross-industry move?"

“Who knows?” Duan Chengxuan said, “Perhaps real estate developers saw Wanda’s move into the entertainment industry and are now following Wanda’s lead in the real estate business.”

Bai Ye: "Okay, go on."

“Jingyan Group is the investor that gave Xingyu the highest valuation in this round of financing, but they put forward a betting condition. If I lose, I will lose control of Xingyu, or even the entire Xingyu,” Duan Chengxuan said. “After all, I’m too lazy to be a mascot for a company I don’t have control over.”

Bai Ye: "So? What do you want me to do for you?"

Duan Chengxuan chuckled:

"I just wanted to ask, Brother Baiye, could you help me introduce some reliable investors? My sister told me that you know a lot of rich people in Europe and America. Are there any fools with lots of money who can offer better terms than Jingyan Group?"

"But don't worry, I'm not asking you to betray your friends. Xingyu's performance is growing very well, and the return on investment is very high. Maybe the next round of financing will lead to an IPO. At that time, the money invested should multiply several times or even ten times, which shouldn't be a problem."

Duan Chengxuan felt he had hinted quite clearly, but Bai Ye seemed not to have understood.

"Do I need to introduce you to investors from Europe and America?" Bai Ye laughed. "Just pick one from your own circle of friends, isn't that enough?"

The Duan family's roots are in the United States, and they are a wealthy family with assets of approximately tens of billions of RMB.

“The old man doesn’t like me and has already severed ties with me as father and son.” Duan Chengxuan sighed and said, “Since I founded Xingyu, I haven’t accepted a single penny from the old man. It’s all been built up from scratch by myself, bit by bit.”

"Alright." Bai Ye shook his head and smiled, saying, "Stop playing the victim in front of me. In the end, you just want me to invest in Xingyu, right?"

"Brother Baiye, you figured that out? You're amazing!"

Duan Chengxuan didn't hesitate to shower him with compliments.

For a fee, he could shower people with compliments for three days and three nights without repeating himself.

“This isn’t something we can’t discuss. I happen to have some spare cash recently, and I’m planning to use it to buy property,” Bai Ye said. “But I’ll have to wait until I look at the investment report…”

Bai Ye made a lot of money selling life potions before, but he didn't spend much of it. He was planning to go back to China to buy a house and spend all that money, since inflation was so severe and houses in China were much more resistant to inflation.

"Thank you! Brother Bai Ye, you truly are my sister's good friend!"

Duan Chengxuan held Bai Ye's hand and shook it vigorously.

Bai Ye: "Don't be too hasty. It's not necessarily true that I'll invest. Business is business. I won't throw money away just because of my relationship with your sister."

Duan Chengxuan: "No problem. As long as you, Brother Baiye, are interested in investing, then everything else will be fine. I, Duan Chengxuan, am the top producer at Huayu Entertainment. I have never failed. I can definitely make you, my brother-in-law... make you, Brother Baiye, make a fortune in this investment!"

I almost let it slip.

Bai Ye smiled and said, "Let's talk about the rest later, but I can tell you a secret to cheer you up."

"what?"

"Actually, I am also a shareholder of Jingyan Group, owning more than ten percent of the shares. I think I am the third largest shareholder."

Duan Chengxuan: "..."

This should be considered good news, right?

I think so?

Director Yang Lei and Mei Ting, who were sitting on the side, were quite impressed. They never expected that business negotiations would be conducted in this way.

Moreover, Bai Ye, this seemingly harmless guy, not only owns hundreds of properties in first-tier cities, but is also a real estate tycoon and the third largest shareholder of Jingyan Group, which is nearly a billion RMB in wealth!

"Brother Baiye, how did you get involved with Jingyan Group?"
