Chapter 359: 335 Three Points of a Modest Favor

Time slipped into March before anyone realized it.

Everything was reviving.

Yet Jiang Chen’s mood was somewhat melancholic.

It wasn’t the false alarm of Li Shu Rui’s fake pregnancy under the guise of food poisoning, but rather Pei Yun Xi’s attitude towards him.

Previously, their relationship had been developing steadily and systematically, but ever since she found out that he also lived in Spring and Autumn Plaza, the situation had taken a nosedive.

Visits to her home were naturally out of the question, and even Luo Li’er received a warning and was forced to reduce her interactions with him.

Even without a contract termination, running into each other at CX Entertainment was inevitable, but Pei Yun Xi rarely stayed alone with him anymore, and the chances to talk were pitifully few, let alone to increase their fondness for one another.

However, Jiang Chen was naturally not someone to be easily defeated by setbacks, and that day he asked Pei Yun Xi to come to his office again.

Since signing with CX Entertainment, Pei Yun Xi somehow had become more relaxed, not because there were fewer business activities, but because all invitations had been declined by her caring boss.

Jiang Chen had heard from Luo Li’er how busy Pei Yun Xi had been, and he had also seen it for himself, but he felt that with her current popularity, she no longer needed to increase her exposure in that way.

Moreover, the income from those commercial activities was insignificant.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

The sound of knocking echoed.

"Come in."

Pei Yun Xi pushed the door open but stopped at the doorway, not closing the door behind her.

"Is something the matter?"

What kind of living environment must it be to foster such strong defenses?

Though now a part of this industry, so far, Jiang Chen had not had the chance to witness its bizarre and varied nature firsthand.

"I have something I want to discuss with you."

Jiang Chen spoke without betraying any emotion, seemingly unaware of the other’s wariness, with no out-of-place reaction.

Pei Yun Xi stayed silent for a moment, but eventually, she closed the door and came inside.

After she sat down, Jiang Chen picked up some documents from his desk and slowly pushed them towards her.

"Take a look."

Pei Yun Xi glanced at him and then picked up the documents.

After a short while, her brows furrowed slightly, and she looked up.

"Why are you showing me this?"

The document wasn’t about CX Entertainment’s operations but was a revenue report for a virtual love game.

Although she was the spokesperson, sponsorship was a one-time deal; the game’s profit and loss had nothing to do with her. Logically, there was no need to show it to her.

"The game’s profits are quite substantial at the moment. In the first month, it made a profit of around twenty million. Do you know who the highest spending player is?"

Pei Yun Xi silently looked at him,

Jiang Chen continued without concern, answering his own question, "It’s Director Shi."

Pei Yun Xi’s gaze fluctuated slightly.

Jiang Chen continued, "Director Shi has bought three properties in your residential area, sparing no expense. If we had not detected it early and implemented purchase restrictions, he probably would have bought the entire complex."

Pei Yun Xi quickly regained her composure, "I hope you remember the conditions you promised me."

"Of course."

Jiang Chen nodded.

"But I’m worried that Director Shi will apply pressure to me in reality."

Perhaps during that "museum" thank-you banquet, Shi Zhenhua had harbored a similar intent, only to have his plans disrupted because Pei Yun Xi also attended.

It wasn’t unheard of for wealthy players to pressure game companies.

And Shi Zhenhua was more than just an ordinary wealthy man.

"That’s your problem."

Pei Yun Xi responded, rational and cold.

Jiang Chen fell silent, suddenly at a loss for words.

Pei Yun Xi put down the document and got back to business, "Why do I have no scheduled activities?"

Ever since signing with CX Entertainment, she didn’t feel like she had switched jobs but rather like she was unemployed.

At first, she was quite content, but as time went on, it was hard not to feel a little uncomfortable.

Even though a major project with Director Fei was being prepared, there should still be some appearances, right?

Jiang Chen cleared his throat, "We are currently reevaluating your career development."

Pei Yun Xi was immediately at a loss for words.

After all, he was the boss, no matter what.

Jiang Chen had much more to say, but Pei Yun Xi did not give him a chance, glancing at the game operation report in front of her.

"You don’t need to tell me about such irrelevant matters next time."

After saying that, she got up and left.

The office door opened and then closed.

Jiang Chen heaved a sigh.

Back in her office, Pei Yun Xi called in her agent Cui Heng.

An agent’s responsibility is to find business for celebrities.

If she had no work, then it was definitely right to look to her agent.

"Show me the recent invitations."

Pei Yun Xi was straightforward.

With her popularity, it’s impossible that changing companies would lead her to an instantaneous downfall. That usually only happens under censorship or shelving.

Yet clearly, that wasn’t her situation,

She and Mo Cai had parted ways amicably, and Yang Ni wouldn’t suppress her.

Indeed.

Cui Heng then brought in a whole pile of invitations.

"Why didn’t you tell me?"

"Jiang Chen said he wanted you to rest for a while. A boss as considerate as him is really rare," Cui Heng sighed.

Talk about being overly considerate.

The whole company had no business at all, and everyone seemed to be freeloading.

He had purchased a luxury apartment in Spring and Autumn Plaza for his little girlfriend, but wasn’t this company, too, a larger gilded cage?

Pei Yun Xi, having already fully understood the sly intent in his heart, remained expressionless.

"In the future, I hope you can inform me of all work-related matters first. He’s new to this industry and there’s a lot he doesn’t understand. I need to make my own judgments."
