Desperate for Money!
Bai Fengling has arrived!
This superstar, whose fame is blazing across the north and south of the river, with a surging popularity!
Even she has times when she seeks out my brother!
Money really can make the devil turn the millstone!
A 200 million yuan project may not be the largest investment in the entertainment industry, but it definitely counts as a big production.
So…
Wu Jie immediately went to the door and looked through the peephole.
Outside the door, next to the beaming Bi, indeed stood a tall, graceful beauty.
Bai Fengling, just like the one he saw on the plane last night, was wearing big sunglasses and a large mask, totally concealing her true face.
However, Wu Jie believed that this time, Bi would not fool him with a stand-in, Mei, again.
“Mr.
Wu, are you listening?”
The inquiry from Bi came through the phone.
“I am!
I’m here!”
Wu Jie looked down and saw that he was only wearing a pair of briefs.
Turning his head back, he saw that Tang Xiao was still in a deep sleep, sweetly snoozing.
“I’m taking a nap with my wife.
You two go downstairs first and find a coffee private room.
I’ll get dressed and come right down!”
“Okay, okay!
Then I’ll take Fengling downstairs to find a place, and then come to the fifth-floor elevator lobby to pick you up!”
After hanging up the phone, Bi immediately left with Bai Fengling.
“What’s wrong?
Isn’t he willing to see me even though I came in person?”
Bai Fengling asked with some muffled annoyance through the mask.
“How could he not meet you?
He’s napping with President Tang, we were the ones being abrupt.
Let’s go, find a coffee private room downstairs and talk!”
“Just what is his background, that he could marry Tang Xiao, the well-known and beautiful CEO from a business world?
Is he from a rich family?”
“No!
I heard from Mr.
Huang that Mr.
Wu comes from a peasant family, with a particularly ordinary background!”
After a slight pause, Bi looked around and whispered:
“Originally, he was just an ordinary employee.
It’s said that Tang Xiao hit him with her car, and then the two of them met by chance.”
“Tsk tsk!
In our entertainment industry, we only film stories of domineering CEOs and Cinderellas, their story is the other way around, it’s something even scriptwriters wouldn’t dare write!”
Bai Fengling laughed, “Even if their feelings are genuine, it’s easy for people to say that he’s just a pretty boy living off a woman, right?”
“Doesn’t matter!
Now he’s a big supervisor, with money, power, and beauty, he has it all.”
Stepping into the elevator, Bi laughed sheepishly and said, “Those who ridicule Mr.
Wu are just sour grapes because they can’t have it.
If it were them, they would definitely change their tune!”
“Yes, why can’t a man rise to success through a woman if a woman can through a man?”
Bai Fengling sighed, and beneath her sunglasses, her beautiful eyes were full of bitterness and helplessness.
“Alas, these days, mocking the poor but not the whore, having money is more important than anything else!
Let’s go!”
The elevator doors opened, and Bi took Bai Fengling to find the private room, then came back to fetch Wu Jie.
Upon meeting.
Seeing Wu Jie dressed like a construction foreman, Bi could barely hold back her laughter.
Mr.
Wu,” you really devalued yourself by millions when you slung on that fanny pack!”
“People who don’t know you could easily mistake you for a construction worker!”
Wu Jie laughed, “I am from a peasant family, after all!
I don’t like using handbags, and without a secretary to carry things for me, a fanny pack is just the thing!”
“I’m a country person too, I hate fakeness and pretense the most.
I like your down-to-earth rich man vibe!”
Bi covered her mouth and giggled incessantly, chatting with Wu Jie as they walked.
Meanwhile.
In the coffee private room.
“I am not your ATM, don’t call me when you run out of money.
It’s hard enough for me to support mom and dad as it is.
If you keep living such a wasteful, extravagant life, I won’t give you another penny in the future!”
Bai Fengling complained with dissatisfaction and then hung up the phone angrily.
Looking out the window, her eyes were brimming with tears.
In countless people’s eyes, she was a superstar at the peak of fame, with numerous fans and boundless glory.
But what about the reality?
Her father was addicted to drugs, always lingering in the Xu Family’s nightclubs, and spending a great deal.
Her mother was unwell, and along with four elderly relatives, lived in an overseas nursing home, costing over a hundred thousand Gold Coins a month.
Her good-for-nothing younger brother, changing countless jobs, never ambitious, yet quite skilled at spending money on women.
Bai Fengling felt as if she were carrying the burden of seven mountains on her shoulders!
Therefore, she needed to earn millions each month.
A single misstep, and she could genuinely go mad from poverty.
Because of this, she had the nickname ‘Desperate Sam’ in the entertainment circle.
Movies, television dramas, advertisements, commercial performances…
She would take on anything that made money.
She had thought countless times, if she had not become famous, would her family still be the same as before?
Father still plays the cultured and modest piano teacher, educating and nurturing students?
And my brother, he’s the ideal student with both character and academic excellence, with a successful career ahead?
But all of this is merely hypothetical.
Ever since the day she signed with Liuli City’s Xu Media, her tragedy had been predetermined.
Xu Jiahao, as the boss of the company, had the formidable Xu Family of Liuli City backing him up.
Could Bai Fengling rebel?
Just like at Tianyuan, even though she had agreed to dine with the film crew, would she dare not go if Xu Feng called?
But there are pros and cons to everything.
The upside was…
Over the many years since her debut, no one dared to harbor improper thoughts about Bai Fengling.
Moreover, Xu Kuishan had already warned Xu Feng earlier, his company’s artists were not to be meddled with.
Bai Fengling and the others, they were like cash cows.
Forcing them into disarray— if it resulted in mental illness, depression, or a celebrity committing suicide by jumping off a building, the loss would outweigh the gains.
The bigger downside, however…
Being tightly controlled by the Xu Family meant being at someone’s beck and call, like a marionette on strings.
More than once, Bai Fengling had been called by the Xu Family to accompany them for meals and drinks.
Showing others how mighty they were, that even A-list stars could be summoned.
If only her father weren’t under their control…
If only her family didn’t need so much money…
Bai Fengling would have long since quit!
Because she genuinely feared that one day, the man nicknamed ‘Mad Xu’, Xu Feng, might force himself on her after getting drunk.
…
Knock, knock, knock!
The door echoed, and Bai Fengling let out a long sigh.
She quickly picked up the mirror to check her makeup, ensuring there were no flaws.
“Come in!”
Bi pushed the door open, her face full of smiles, “Mr.
Wu, please!”
Bai Fengling looked up, and was instantly taken aback.
Who was this…
a worker come to repair the furniture?
Wu Jie looked indifferently at Bai Fengling, also slightly startled.
Crap!
Isn’t ‘picture fraud’ popular these days?
Many girls wouldn’t dare to post a photo without heavily Photoshopping it to enhance their beauty.
But Bai Fengling…
Her photos and her in person, they felt exactly the same.
A beauty capable of toppling nations and cities, a fairy-like national beauty was what they called her, right?
No wonder netizens had voted her the goddess of every male otaku year after year!
Ahem!
After Bi coughed lightly, Bai Fengling immediately snapped back to reality and quickly stood up, extending her slender, pale right hand.
“Hello, Mr.
Wu!”
Wu Jie shook her hand gently, feeling the softness as smooth as jade.
Tang Xin liked to play games and often cooked; her hand shape wasn’t bad, but her skin wasn’t great.
Lin Yuan needed to play the piano and the guzheng, neither were as silky smooth as Bai Fengling’s.
Tang Xiao used to be War King and had too many calluses on her hands.
It was only after she changed her ways that her hands could match Bai Fengling’s.
And besides beauty, looking at her temperament…
Up close, Wu Jie felt she was just a mortal too!
Her face held a worried expression, her eyes were faintly red, unsure if it was from a lack of sleep or from crying.
As soon as Bi took her seat, she got straight to the point with a smile:
“Originally, Fengling was supposed to be filming at Tianyuan for the next month or so, but surprisingly, Mr.
Wang’s company faced financial difficulties.
I have verified with the company, Wang Taixiong has lost contact, the movie scheduled to start filming will most likely not happen!”
“The schedule has opened up, so I was thinking we could potentially collaborate with Mr.
Wu.
My Fengling, be it in looks, talent, or acting skills, is top-notch, and she won’t have any problem bringing in fan traffic, whether for movies or TV dramas!”
“So, Mr.
Wu, could you please tell us what exactly is needed from us for the project with a two billion investment?”
Wu Jie smiled and said, “It’s not for filming movies or TV shows, but for promoting a short video project for my personal startup, being the spokesperson, and making some short videos.
Plus, if you bring in celebrities and artists, there will be additional rewards…”
“Ah?
Your personal startup?” Bi suddenly interjected, surprised, “So you don’t represent Tanglong Industrial Group?”
The tone sounded somewhat disappointed.
However, Bai Fengling was straightforward, immediately asking directly:
“Mr.
Wu, just tell me straight, how long do I need to help, and how much money can I make?”
