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

Duan Chengxuan was puzzled.

“I am not an investor in Jingyan Group. It’s just that later, because one of the shareholders of Jingyan Group… well, how should I put it, he owed me money, so he gave me shares to pay off the debt.” Bai Ye said, “I saw Ye Jinyan, a shareholder of Jingyan Group, and he looked familiar. I felt that Jingyan Group should still have some potential, so I took over the shares of Jingyan Group.”

"So that's how it is..." Duan Chengxuan probed, "Brother Baiye, my sister has told me a lot about your relationship, but she never told me what kind of business you're in. It seems very profitable. You buy so many houses and still find time to invest in Jingyan Group. Brother Baiye, you must have many other investments as well. How come your cash flow is so abundant?"

"Your sister didn't tell you, probably because she was afraid of scaring you... What I mainly do, I guess, is the PMC industry."

Bai Ye smiled.

Still dazed from Duan Chengxuan's description of Bai Ye as incredibly wealthy, Su Cheng subconsciously asked:

What is PMC?

A hush fell over the scene.

"PMC, or Private Military Corporation, generally provides services to government agencies, including weapons and equipment, support personnel, logistical support, engineering construction, and material transportation. While the core purpose of PMCs was initially to provide armed forces to third parties, they later expanded into other areas in pursuit of profit maximization… A prime example is 'Blackwater'."

Bai Ye explained:

"To put it simply, imagine you go to Mexico for tourism and get kidnapped by local drug lords. The drug lords call your family and demand ransom from them. In that case, your family contacts us, and we will go to Mexico and rescue you safely."

Su Cheng was simply stubborn, but not stupid. Hearing Bai Ye say that, she was completely stunned:

"Bai Ye... what you're doing seems to be illegal, doesn't it?"

In Su Cheng's mind, the Middle East immediately came to mind, along with bearded men and Allah...

“This would definitely be illegal in China, which is why I work abroad all year round,” Bai Ye said. “Don’t worry, Su Cheng, this is completely legal and compliant abroad, and everything is done within the framework of the law.”

Director Yang Lei was trembling with fear.

He was just a pitiful, weak, helpless, and somewhat sassy little director. He never expected to be able to talk to the big boss who runs PMC. What did he do to deserve this?

Mei Ting's mouth dropped open in disbelief. He never expected that the seemingly amiable younger brother was actually a killer!

She couldn't believe that the owner of the PMC company was an innocent girl who had never killed anyone...

Even Duan Chengxuan looked very unnatural.

This brother-in-law has some wild ideas!

No wonder her sister said that this person saved her life, and that's how they became friends.

So this is the kind of business this person is in!

Now he's starting to wonder how Bai Ye got his shares in Jingyan Group...

Legal and compliant?

PMC?

Even a dog wouldn't believe that!

Take Blackwater, for example. For years, Blackwater has been involved in numerous illegal activities. Although it's one of the largest private security companies in the United States, a series of irregularities led to the revocation of its business license in Saddam Hussein. Of course, this is only the public picture; in reality, Blackwater has been operating covertly as well.

Therefore, PMC's so-called legality and compliance only depend on whether the thugs who hire them have a loud enough voice.

This is the real deal: if they say you can do it, you can do it, even if you can't; if they say you can't, you can't, even if you can. You can't argue with that!

"It seems like the kind of business you're in, Brother Bai Ye, is quite profitable?"

Duan Chengxuan coughed and said.

"This kind of business isn't particularly profitable; the key is how you operate it. We generally only take on high-value tasks, which is why we've made some money."

Bai Ye gave Duan Chengxuan, Director Yang Lei, and Mei Ting each a name tag and said:

"If you encounter any special situations abroad in the future, you can try contacting me. I'll give you a 20% discount because of your sister."

"...Thank you."

Duan Chengxuan's lips twitched as he put Bai Ye's business card into his pocket.

Although he felt it was unlikely he would ever need Bai Ye's help, since he was just a businessman in the entertainment industry and it was hard for him to be involved with someone like Bai Ye who was in the underworld, well... sometimes, there might be a chance.

"Bai Ye, isn't it dangerous for you to do this kind of business?"

Su Cheng looked at Bai Ye with concern.

She didn't expect Bai Ye to have much money; enough would be fine. Why would she do something so dangerous for money?

It doesn't seem worth it!

"Don't worry!" Bai Ye placed his hand on Su Cheng's head and said with a smile, "Other people's jobs may be dangerous, but my job is absolutely safe. When have you ever seen me come to see you with any fresh scars or anything like that?"

Su Cheng tilted her head and thought for a moment: "That's true!"

Duan Chengxuan: "..."

He seemed to feel that there were more tire tracks on his face.

Director Yang Lei asked with great curiosity:

"Since Mr. Bai is in this kind of business, won't you be subject to special scrutiny when you enter the country?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to him.

You just casually asked such a sensitive question?

Director Yang Lei immediately realized his mistake and wanted to slap himself. His curiosity had come at the worst possible time and was too reckless.

"Yes!" Bai Ye didn't seem to mind and nodded, saying, "It's just at the beginning. Later on, we helped some things in China, and we became good friends. Then everything will be easier to discuss. Apart from not being able to operate in China, I can return to China without any problems."

Duan Chengxuan: "..."

Director Yang Lei: "..."

Mei Ting: "..."

What the hell!

This guy is a real big shot!

Director Yang Lei and Mei Ting both looked at Bai Ye with a hint of awe, not only because of Bai Ye's business dealings, but also because...

Duan Chengxuan was also relieved that he had asked casually. Otherwise, he was thinking that after he got Bai Ye's investment, his attitude towards Bai Ye would depend on his mood. Now it seems that he was glad that he did not act rashly.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Bai Ye; it was simply out of respect for the AK47.

The scene became somewhat awkward, and no one knew what to say.

To ordinary people, they are capital, directors, and stars, but compared to another world...

Mei Ting broke the silence, looking at Duan Chengxuan:

"Mr. Duan, isn't your Xingyu Entertainment currently producing a talent show?"

"Yup!"

Duan Chengxuan looked at Mei Ting with a puzzled expression, wondering why she had suddenly brought this up, and said:

"We even sent you an invitation, Sister Mei, to be a judge!"

“I’ve been quite busy lately, so I had my agent postpone it. The news might not have reached you yet, Mr. Duan,” Mei Ting said. “I think Su Cheng would be perfect for your talent show!”

Clearly, Mei Ting is trying to curry favor with Bai Ye and help Su Cheng achieve her dream of becoming an actress and star in order to gain Bai Ye's favor.

It wouldn't be accurate to call it flattery; it's more like normal interpersonal interaction. What if she needs Bai Ye's help someday?

Many things are hard to explain.

Having more friends means having more options!

“Yes, yes, yes.” Director Yang Lei pushed up his glasses and said, “Su Cheng has a very good image and excellent acting skills. It’s just that she has been stuck in this situation because she doesn’t have the right connections. If Xingyu signs her and trains her well, she will definitely be able to soar to great heights.”

Hearing Mei Ting and director Yang Lei say this, Duan Chengxuan felt a little uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to go along with it and say:

"Brother Bai, I also think Miss Su Cheng has great potential. How about we let her join our Xingyu Entertainment?"

ranwena.net

Bai Ye is her older sister Duan Lingwei's ex-boyfriend, and she even has to help Bai Ye promote his current girlfriend...

Even her own sister said that the two of them were a thing of the past, otherwise...

otherwise……

Oh well, what's past is past. My older sister was right; when it comes to life, you have to look forward.

"Join Xingyu?" Bai Ye raised an eyebrow and said, "Su Cheng, what do you think?"

"I?"

Su Cheng pointed to herself, a little confused. How did the topic suddenly jump to whether she should join Xingyu Entertainment?

"I can't do it, can I? I don't know anything, how could I possibly join a big company like Star Entertainment!"

"What kind of big company is Xingyu?" Duan Chengxuan said, "It's only been established for a few years, just a small raft. But it's been lucky and produced a few hit TV series, so it has some fame. Right now, it's lacking a leading lady to take the lead. Miss Su Cheng, how about giving it a try?"

Su Cheng felt a little resistant to the feeling of winning without doing anything herself, just by relying on Bai Ye. She looked at Bai Ye awkwardly.

"Bai Ye, I still don't feel good. It feels like there's some behind-the-scenes manipulation... I think if I don't have the ability, even if they promote me to the top, I'll still fall. I might as well participate in a talent show and compete fairly with others to see what I'm really made of. As for signing directly with Xingyu, let's forget about it."

Bai Ye shook his head helplessly and said:

"This world is not... Never mind, I won't lecture you on grand principles, just do what you like."

"Uh-huh!"

Su Cheng clenched her fist and said:

"Even if it's a fair competition with them, I'm very confident I can beat them! Influenced by my mother, I've been interested in acting since I was a child. After running bit parts for the past two years, even if I can't compare to those academically trained prodigies, I'm not the best, but I'm not the worst either!"

Su Cheng's mother was a dancer in a song and dance troupe and had even won awards, so Su Cheng was interested in performing from a young age.

Later, her mother unfortunately passed away due to illness.

Su Cheng also carries her mother's dream on her shoulders. She wants to work together with her mother to realize her dream of becoming an actress.

That's why Su Cheng is so obsessed with becoming a star!

"Thank you so much for your recommendation, Sister Meiting!"
