Chapter 328: The information on the internet is fake.

Opening a new district.

Huihai Da Mansion.

The twenty-second floor.

CX Entertainment.

"Mr. Jiang."

The entire floor had been renovated and transformed by a top design team from East Sea. In less than a week, the completion was efficient and pleasing, with a high-end atmosphere that was on par with those renowned film and television companies.

"Where is Miss Pei?"

The person who came to greet Jiang Chen was Pei Yunxi’s agent, the chubby Tiger, which is Fei Yi who, along with the other twenty-plus employees, was poached to join CX Entertainment. He was not old, around forty, but also quite well-known in the circle, having launched several artists who are now familiar to the public.

"In your office."

"What’s the matter?"

"It seems to be about the virtual romance game."

Even though this young man was much younger than himself, Cui Heng showed no slight regard and was respectfully attentive.

In society, it is never about seniority by age.

Someone who had been in the entertainment industry for some time would know this very well.

The game matter?

Jiang Chen was quite surprised but said nothing further.

"Alright, I’ve got it, go ahead with your work."

The over twenty people that Fei Yi had helped recruit were already basically meeting the company’s operational needs. Additionally, the launch of CX Entertainment had resulted in a substantial draining of his personal finances.

Money always seems to be in short supply when it’s needed.

Though Fei Yi could bring people in, he couldn’t be expected to support them.

He was responsible for paying their salaries.

Plus the budget for the game’s publicity and marketing.

Before, Jiang Chen had thought being a multimillionaire was quite impressive, but now he realized how little he knew.

If those cars hadn’t been generously donated by Miss Shi through Jin Hai Industries, insisting that it was unseemly for the company to have so few vehicles, he might have been on the brink of bankruptcy by now.

Just like the saying goes, stretch your legs too far, and you might pull a muscle where it hurts.

Jiang Chen had never imagined that over twenty million could vanish so quickly before.

No wonder the wealthy, though already possessing fortunes that would be the envy of ordinary people, still work so diligently.

Now, he could somewhat understand why.

However, what was done was done; he was in too deep to back out now and had no choice but to forge ahead despite the difficulties.

With an area of nearly two thousand square meters, Jiang Chen’s office alone occupied more than a hundred square meters. This was not his request but the opinion of Miss Shi.

The office next door, Miss Shi’s, was even more extravagant, almost half larger than Jiang Chen’s, despite the fact that it was clear from the beginning she would rarely visit the company.

The grandma’s purpose was simply to find a place to hide any potential threats to her family.

"You were looking for me?"

Jiang Chen pushed the door and entered.

Pei Yunxi, the undisputed pillar of CX Entertainment, was sitting on the sofa, and when Jiang Chen entered the room, her gaze immediately fixed on his face.

Her expressionless demeanor suggested she was truly not in a good mood.

Having known her for a while, and now that she had become a signed artist of his company, Jiang Chen naturally didn’t behave as reservedly as he had at first.

"What’s wrong?"

He smiled and sat down next to her.

"Do you remember what you promised me?"

She had the air of someone come to seek retribution.

Jiang Chen remained calm, though he felt somewhat baffled, "Which aspect are you referring to?"

Pei Yunxi did not beat around the bush but got straight to the point.

"I agreed to you replicating my image in the game, but I did not permit you to freely design my character."

"The game’s design wasn’t handled by me. What happened?"

Jiang Chen half explained, half inquired.

"See for yourself."

Pei Yunxi took out her phone, placed it on the coffee table, and played a promotional video for the upcoming virtual romance game.

"Want a romantic encounter with Pei Yunxi? Want to roam the beachside with Pei Yunxi? Then, come to the virtual romance game."

The scene showed a beautifully serene beachside pool, with a simulated character of Pei Yunxi catching the eye. Shockingly, she was dressed in a sexy bikini, swimming alone in the azure waters, under a clear sky with white clouds. Her hair was wet, and her stunning figure, moving with the waves, was barely visible yet enchantingly present.

Despite being a cool visual, it somehow stirred up emotions, making the blood pump with excitement.

Jiang Chen was speechless, immediately understanding why she was upset.

In the entertainment industry, Pei Yunxi was known for her integrity, for staying clean in a muddy world. She rarely even did kissing scenes, and when she did, it was with a stand-in. Who had ever seen her "appear" in such a revealing way?

Even though this was just a game, it could indeed have an impact on her personal image.

"I really didn’t know about this,"

Jiang Chen quickly explained.

Pei Yunxi stared at him without blinking.

Jiang Chen knew he had to provide an explanation, or this issue wouldn’t be resolved.

He had no choice but to take out his phone and call Luo Peng, putting the call on speaker.

"What’s going on?"

Good news makes a good mood.

With the number of game pre-registrations climbing, Luo Peng was also thrilled. As the CEO of Tianci Capital, he certainly hadn’t left the scene.

In fact.

Jiang Chen wasn’t shirking responsibility; he truly hadn’t been involved much in the game’s promotional planning. A leader can’t micromanage everything; he had only set the general direction. The specific details were handled by Luo Peng.

Clearly, this alluring advertisement video was most likely his doing.

"What’s with that beachside advertisement video featuring Miss Pei?"

Jiang Chen didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"You saw it? How was it? Creative, right?"

As expected.

Jiang Chen glanced at Pei Yunxi, cleared his throat, and said, "Who told you to do this? I asked you to make a promotional advertisement, not this kind of stuff."

"But this is a promotional advertisement, isn’t it very eye-catching? Which man, after seeing this ad, wouldn’t want to try our game?"

The logic was there, but...

"It’s too vulgar, pull the ad immediately."

"Vulgar? Where is it vulgar? Jiang Chen, what era are we in now? You can’t be that conservative, can you? It’s just a bikini. I spent a lot of effort to find Pei Yunxi’s measurements online, working all night with them, just to create this few seconds of video..."

Measured them online?

What a genius.

Jiang Chen’s eye twitched uncontrollably with embarrassment, and he dared not look too much at the beautiful star next to him, afraid of what Luo Peng might say next, and quickly interrupted him.

"Making games is about focusing on the content, not all this... fancy stuff. You’re being too clever by half, missing the point. Pull the ad right now."

Without waiting for Luo Peng to make excuses, Jiang Chen pressed the end call button.

"I’m really sorry, I’ve already notified them to withdraw the ad."

The contents of the call had already proven that he really didn’t know beforehand.

His personal finances were in critical condition, and the virtual love game was an important investment for Jiang Chen right now, which might bring him a substantial return. However, he couldn’t afford to overlook other things.

If this affected Pei Yunxi’s impression of him, it would be more of a loss than a gain.

To show his sincerity and apology, Jiang Chen quickly added, "This is indeed my oversight, and I’m willing to compensate for any damage this has done to your reputation."

"..."

Pei Yunxi, who had indeed been quite upset, suddenly didn’t know what to say.

She had simply demanded an explanation, but he had not only withdrawn the ad and apologized, but also offered compensation, and his attitude was so sincere that it was beyond reproach. How could she possibly make a fuss now?

Her anger dissipated unconsciously.

"There’s no need."

Jiang Chen was persistent, "It’s indeed our mistake, and compensation is justified."

Pei Yunxi once again felt that odd sensation.

Why did this young man always seem to want to "give her money"?

When signing the endorsement contract for the game, it was the same,

Even though she had said it was a lifetime endorsement, he still repeatedly asked if it was an annual renewal.

"I said it’s not necessary."

Pei Yunxi picked up her cell phone from the coffee table.

"But I hope, similar incidents won’t happen again, and also, the outfits for my game character must not be too revealing."

"Naturally."

Jiang Chen nodded without hesitation.

But because of the ad, Pei Yunxi had clearly developed a trust issue with him.

"If you don’t mind, I’d like to have a copy of all the images of my game character."

Jiang Chen still had no hesitation.

"No problem."

Pei Yunxi seemed satisfied with his attitude, and her expression gradually eased.

"Then I won’t disturb you any longer."

But about the compensation...

Jiang Chen wanted to say something, but finally let it go.

It was Pei Yunxi’s fault for not being the kind of person who is greedy for more; she only took what she deserved. In a greedy world, especially in the glittery entertainment industry, her quality was exceptionally valuable, yet it resulted in fewer opportunities for him to "splash the cash."

"I’ll see you out."

Jiang Chen got up with a sense of loss.

At the door.

Pei Yunxi opened the door, paused just as she was about to step out.

Jiang Chen looked puzzled.

"Tell your friend, all the online information is fake."

Jiang Chen was startled and then blurted out a question without thinking.

"So is it an exaggeration, or an understatement?"

What a question "exaggeration or understatement" was.

Pei Yunxi suddenly turned back, unprecedentedly glaring at the indiscreet man.

The true beauty of a beauty lies in her bones, not her skin.

What defines a stunning beauty is the ability to shake hearts without any poses.

A simple glare expressed endless charm.

Jiang Chen suddenly realized his slip of the tongue and quickly laughed it off: "Ha, I’m just joking."

This kind of explanation was worse than not explaining at all.

Pei Yunxi remained silent and quickly walked out.

"Bang!"

The sound of the door closing was loud, as if even the walls trembled.

Jiang Chen regretted it.

Having been with Li Shuru for a long time, he had learned to make harmless jokes, which added some fun. So just now, it almost slipped out without thinking, completely forgetting that the person in front of him wasn’t Li Shuru.

But time can’t flow backwards, and spilled water can’t be regained.

Jiang Chen sighed silently, sat back in his office chair, and looked around his spacious office, his mind involuntarily drifting back to the video advertisement.

"It must have been an understatement, right?"

He muttered to himself.
