Chapter 505: 448 trending

Tianci Capital’s first office wasn’t set up in Xu Siyi and her dance studio’s Renxin Exchange; instead, they chose a suitable office building in the commercial center at Lujiawui.

Of course.

It wasn’t an entire building, as they neither had the strength nor the necessity for that at present; they just rented one floor separately.

After graduation, Luo Peng and the others quickly began recruiting and, at the same time, rented a nearby apartment; a large flat, nearly two hundred square meters, spacious enough for three people to live comfortably, even if Jiang Chen occasionally needed a place to stay.

Actually.

Many business executives, even celebrities, prefer to rent houses instead of buying them.

In a place like East Sea where land is worth its weight in gold, renting a house is indeed much more cost-effective than buying one.

For example, the apartment they rented was valued at thirty million on the market, but the rent was less than seventy thousand a month.

The money to buy that apartment could pay for forty years’ rent, and the key point is, if they got tired of living there, they could change their living environment as they wished.

As Tianci Capital’s big boss, Jiang Chen naturally didn’t need to trouble himself with trivial matters such as recruitment. He took time to review the operational status of all the projects they had invested in so far.

Beyond the virtual love game, Tianci Capital’s predecessor Dongda Angel Investment Society had also sponsored many ideas, like the Anger Room, as well as Xu Siyi and her dance club.

However, compared to the virtual love game, the other projects were basically minor affairs.

From Bai Zheli, who was acting as the CFO, he learned that the company currently had over eight million in disposable funds on the books.

That’s right.

Not even ten million yet.

If those Dongda students who idolized Jiang Chen and clamored for photos with him knew this, they would certainly find it hard to believe, but Bai Zheli didn’t cook the books.

Business operations are no child’s play.

Since Tianci Capital was registered and established, every expenditure and every income had been recorded clearly by Bai Zheli, and every transaction was accounted for.

The reason only this much was left was that they had just paid a year’s rent for the office building, and the server calculation center project, which Jiang Chen ordered to start, was also progressing methodically.

This was a major money-burning project, one that was ongoing and likely to cost far more than the investment in the virtual love game, and possibly by many orders of magnitude.

Of course.

Liquid funds do not represent actual assets. If Jiang Chen were willing to mortgage with the bank like Ren Miao’s father, Ren Yan, he could definitely secure a substantial amount.

But he certainly wouldn’t do that,

He couldn’t get over that mental hurdle in his mind.

With trillions in "lick-dog gold", which bank could guarantee it was richer than him?

Borrowing from the bank again would be too embarrassing.

Sitting in the new office, Jiang Chen sent a text message to Pei Yunxi.

"Where are you?"

This should be regarded as a true harassment text.

Every few days, he would send similar messages, either asking if she had eaten or which country or city she was in.

After all, to him, Pei Yunxi was like his bank.

Initially, Pei Yunxi would respond with a few polite words, but gradually, she went silent.

Jiang Chen didn’t mind and continued as always, tirelessly.

Having a presence was also good.

Making an international blockbuster was definitely not an easy job. Pei Yunxi traveled all over the world; the last time she messaged him back, she was in Italy.

Knowing the response would likely be scarce, Jiang Chen opened up Starry Sky, just wanting to pass some time, but perhaps the big data nowadays was too powerful. No sooner had he sent the text message to Pei Yunxi than the first news item that popped up in Starry Sky was about her.

Pei Yunxi was cursed abroad.

The scene looked like a red carpet event, where several white men were yelling at Pei Yunxi, who was dressed up for the occasion, with security blocking them, while other journalists wielded their cameras in a chaotic shoot.

One could see that despite Pei Yunxi’s professional foundation, the discomfort could not be completely hidden beneath her feigned elegance.

Fame comes with its fair share of trouble.

The incident had already surged to the top of the trending searches.

Jiang Chen frowned and looked up the details of the incident on Starry Sky to figure out what had happened.

It turned out to be a K.E. brand haute couture women’s show in Rome, where Pei Yunxi attended as a guest, and this unpleasant episode unfolded while she walked the red carpet.

The words the white men yelled weren’t translated, but one can imagine they were quite unpleasant.

And the matter wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

According to photos that emerged later,

Pei Yunxi’s seat at the show was quite isolated, in the corner, looking like a freeloader under some intentional camera shots.

Pei Yunxi might not have been very famous abroad, but she was extremely popular in her own country. When the news broke out, innumerable fans could not tolerate their idol being embarrassed like this, lashing out at those white men and the organizers, K.E. brand, with some even extreme fans not sparing the city of Rome itself.

But their cries of protest in their home country could not reach abroad.

Jiang Chen truly hadn’t heard of the name K.E. before, and only after some research did he learn that it was also a top luxury brand, on par with internationally renowned big names like Hermes and Louis Vuitton.

Like these fans, Jiang Chen also felt a surge of anger involuntarily rise within him, and he quickly called Thomas Felsen.

"Felton, what’s going on with the D.E. show in Rome?"

"Jiang, it’s a misunderstanding, just a few extreme racists, that’s all,"

Thomas Felsen immediately explained.

Some white people indeed advocate white supremacy and discriminate against all people of color.

"It’s not that simple, is it?"

Jiang Chen challenged, "Why would the organizers place her in such a remote corner?"

Thomas Felsen was at a loss for words,

Obviously, he couldn’t directly state that it was due to a lack of seniority, could he?

Attending such an event is a great opportunity to boost one’s profile, and many stars do so. Pei Yunxi’s participation in the show was also his arrangement, aiming to increase her international fame ahead of the movie’s release. The organizers had promised him a middle seat, which he deemed reasonable, but unexpectedly...

Discrimination against the East and Eastern artists isn’t a secret in the international entertainment and fashion circles.

While people in her home country were scolding, the media abroad were even more offensive, although the target of their words was different.

"Felton, halt all her activities for now,"

Jiang Chen spoke with relative calmness, but Thomas Felsen could already sense the strong displeasure from the other end.

"I’ve already told her to rest for now,"

Felsen hurriedly said.

"Okay."

Jiang Chen didn’t say anything more and hung up. Thinking of the image of the woman on Starry Sky facing the cameras with a forced composure, he picked up his phone again and messaged Liu Yiming, the founder of Starry Sky.

"Mr. Liu, I need a favor. Take down all the trending searches about Pei Yunxi."

At this moment,

he was not merely a recent graduate from East University.

He was the enigmatic "Emperor Han."
