The maximum value is only 100 points—an iron-clad rule—so how it managed to shoot up like that, beats me.

Anyway, the following day, Su Huai opened up a new slot, in a way that was unbelievably simple.

During that time, Nazha stuck to him like glue, clinging and sidling up to him, her voice syrupy as she asked, "Are we boyfriend and girlfriend now?"

Gou Huai responded righteously, "We’re people of the Jianghu—it’s fine to make friends spontaneously, but don’t make it sound so tacky, alright?"

"Scumbag!"

She was just about to explode when Gou Huai hit her with a three-piece combo. Instantly, she quieted down.

Later, she lowered her expectations: "Then am I your little baby?"

Gou Huai snorted, "More like ’old baby.’ How old are you this year anyway?"

"Bastard!"

She was just about to explode again, but Gou Huai countered with another three-piece combo. By the end, she wasn’t just quiet—she seemed vaguely intimidated.

Thus, the next morning, as the sky barely began to lighten, she ran off clutching her backside.

Before leaving, she threw down a declaration: "I’ll definitely come back again!"

Hui Tai Lang, is that you?

But she was all talk; afterward, she didn’t dare contact Su Huai again. A week passed before she sent him her first voice message, rambling on about meaningless things.

Amateur.

And that wraps up Nazha’s Chapter for now. A bunch of her schedules were postponed, and she was sent under the scrutiny of an assistant dispatched by Su Huai to practice her fundamentals.

Gou Huai didn’t just freeload off her—he really did put some effort into selecting scripts for her.

Iqiyi and Tencent’s 2018 drama catalogues were sent ahead of time to Xingyu, allowing Su Huai to browse freely.

There are some external misunderstandings about the three big video platforms in this area. When it comes to self-produced dramas, they’re actually quite open to collaboration.

As long as you qualify to enter the game, you can negotiate participation in any project you want.

Production companies are even less exclusive—they’d happily pull people in to share the risks.

The only difference is that partners with unique resources get discounted shares, while those without such resources have to pay a premium.

Then, just as Xingyu’s Film and Television Department began reaching out to various platforms and production companies, the Gu Family came knocking.

"Mr. Su, a gentleman named Gu Tonglin, claiming to be a director at the Gu Clan, is requesting to meet with you."

"Where is he?"

"In the lounge downstairs."

Su Huai accepted the business card from Tang Xian’er—nowadays, few people still use this sort of thing. It gave off a somewhat vintage vibe, flaunting his old-money roots?

Without missing a beat, he dialed a video call to Gu Jiuyue to inquire further.

"Gugu, who’s this Gu Tonglin to you?"

"My granduncle’s youngest son—the younger brother of my grandfather. Is he looking for you?"

Gu Jiuyue, sharp as ever, stated her position directly before Su Huai could ask, "I don’t have any emotional ties to those granduncles, and neither does Old Gu. Handle them however you see fit."

"Got it, thanks."

Su Huai ended the call and instructed Tang Xian’er, "Invite him upstairs."

Let’s see what he’s up to. If it’s regular business cooperation, tossing the Gu Family a few perks wouldn’t be unforgivable.

Gu Tonglin was under forty, well-groomed, and appeared agreeable at first glance.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they got down to business. That’s when things started feeling off.

"Su, I’m willing to pay a premium to acquire shares in your company’s film projects—three times for S+, double for S-grade. You recoup your funds quickly, I make my small profits, and as family, we don’t split hairs. Prosperity for everyone."

"You’re in finance, aren’t you? If you take my project shares, are you planning to..."

"I’ve got my ways. So, how about it? Can’t you show your uncle some respect?"

Su Huai could tolerate attitude problems, but he couldn’t tolerate being treated like a fool.

"If you don’t explain clearly, how will I know what exactly I’m respecting?"

"Heh! Haha!"

Seeing that Su Huai was genuinely unyielding, Gu Tonglin let out some awkward chuckles and finally revealed a bit more.

"I have plenty of client resources. Once I acquire shares in an S+ project from you, I can subdivide and sell them at a premium.

For example, take the major IP ’Battle Through the Heavens,’ which is estimated at a 500-million investment. You have the connections and resources to secure 20% of the shares for 80 million, valued at 100 million.

But to recoup your investment, it will take a long time. I’ll pay 240 million cash upfront to buy your shares, netting you a 160-million income instantly.

On my end, I’d divide the 20% share into 500 units, selling each for 1 million. Investors collectively spend 500 million to purchase the shares, and after deducting various operating costs, I’d still profit by one or two hundred million.

You can’t earn my money, and I can’t manage yours. Together, we benefit, mutual gains all around.

I’m being completely honest here, Su. This pricing absolutely doesn’t take advantage of you..."

It sounded like nothing was out of place, but Su Huai was naturally wary of deals that seemed too good to be true.

He frowned and asked, "Who will the producer credit go to?"

Gu Tonglin patiently explained, "During the negotiation stage, it will be Xingyu, but after the transfer, the final product will bear our company’s name. Don’t worry—if anything goes wrong, you won’t be implicated."

This part also seemed above board.

Still confused, Su Huai pursued further, "But if the drama flops and the investment doesn’t recover..."

"The ones who lose are the small-time investors. What does that have to do with us?"

Gu Tonglin casually spread his hands and laughed, "I understand your concern, but once you transfer the shares to me, everything that follows will have nothing to do with Xingyu. The rest is all financial market operations, while you continue focusing on your film work—it’s completely unaffected."

"You only want ’Battle Through the Heavens’?"

"Ideally ’Battle Through the Heavens.’ The IP is huge and sells well, but if there’s another major IP, I’ll take that too—it just might not fetch as high a premium."
