Chapter 1101: West Island Reality World [52] A Journey to the West Island (Update 1)

For the past two months, the Weibo topic regarding the novel "All Gods Blue Sky" has been ceaseless.

First was the uproar about the ending, followed by the author releasing the film and TV rights controversy.

Up to now, online voting for the best actors to play the male and female leads, and the supporting male and female roles, has been fervent daily.

This novel is an excellent remake IP, both in terms of its own quality and the recognition and reaction of online readers.

Scriptwriters in the circle have all been eyeing the rights to this novel, and as an Entertainment Media Company, Xiangyang naturally paid attention, but they were aware that their company didn’t amount to much compared to those like the Rong Corporation.

However, at the moment, they saw the sought-after signing rights, contested by powers from all walks, right before their eyes.

"That’s basically it, I’ve already written the plan for this IP," Ye Shaohua said, glancing at her assistant beside her.

The assistant was handpicked by Ye Li himself, a man of few words, but particularly shrewd.

He immediately distributed the document he held to the executives within the meeting room.

Those remaining in the meeting room finally came to their senses when they got the documents in their hands.

"May I ask," perhaps because of the overwhelming presence Ye Shaohua exhibited, the one who asked hesitatingly raised his hand, "your... your relationship with General Manager Ye?"

The General Manager Ye he referred to was, of course, Ye Li.

Ye Shaohua smiled, "He’s my younger brother."

With that, everyone in the meeting room seemed to come to an understanding—it’s no wonder, then, Ye Li’s younger brother.

Only now, the Ye Family’s status was not the same as before, and indeed, they had never considered that Ye Shaohua, so popular in the Entertainment Circle, would be a member of the Ye Family.

Ye Shaohua swiftly laid out the preliminary plans, including hiring staff and expanding the company.

If it were before, the remaining senior executives at the company would have strongly objected; the current financial strength of Xiangyang Company did not necessitate hiring extra staff.

But now, just the production of the film and TV rights for this novel alone, once the news was released, countless investors would be scrambling to invest.

Even without Ye Shaohua’s reminder, they would have hired additional staff anyway.

After dealing with this matter, Ye Shaohua indeed reviewed everything that the senior supervisors had stayed up writing the night before.

What they wrote was rough, but given it was the result of one night’s work, it was quite objective. Ye Shaohua seriously gave suggestions for each; she heavily revised two of them and handed them directly to the Planning Department.

These executives went from being inattentive at the start, to ashamed, to listening intently when Ye Shaohua gave her feedback, with some even taking out their notebooks set aside, jotting down notes seriously as they listened.

By the time Ye Shaohua finished the meeting, two hours had passed.

"Old Pan, what do you think of this General Manager Ye?" After watching Ye Shaohua leave, the people in the office also started leaving in groups.

Called Old Pan, he spoke profoundly, "This Second Young Lady of the Ye Family is quite interesting. I heard that Ye Tong from ’All Gods Blue Sky’ is also vying for it. There’s a rumor in the circle that Young Lady Ye Tong has already bought the rights."

When the company was transferred to Ye Li’s name, these veteran employees spent time getting to know the new boss.

The new boss was an uncompromising official, surely uninvolved in these affairs.

On the other hand, Ye Tong, the eldest young lady of the Ye Family, was highly regarded as a junior by the Su Family. Su Min had said before that it would likely be Ye Tong managing their company.

Unexpectedly, instead of Ye Tong, it was Ye Shaohua, the second young lady of the Ye Family whom they’d never heard of, who came.

And this Miss Ye brought with her the script with the highest value in the circle.

Of course, what was most important was...

Old Pan slowly exhaled, "I never expected, her being a superstar, that her insights into financial analysis would be so profound. An Pei, that old guy, had his days of misjudgment, too."

This wasn’t strange to talk about. If they hadn’t heard Ye Shaohua’s dissection of the market and her predictions on future mainstream development with their own ears, they wouldn’t have believed that a superstar who had shot to fame could be so insightful.

Others nodded in agreement, "With all her capabilities, why would she fixate on becoming a superstar? Speaking of which, since Su Max is so keen on having Young Lady Ye Tong join Su Corporation, why not let this second young lady take that place?"

Despite pondering for a long time, the group couldn’t fathom the reason.

**

Mu Family.

"Young Master, the old master is inside the study," the Butler of the Mu Family said in a low voice to Mu Xingzhi.

This elderly gentleman is the current master of West Island, Qin Qian, and also the teacher of Mu Xingzhi.

Speaking of which, West Island and South Island share quite a history, with a thousand years of heritage, being the fiefdom of two princes a millennium ago, and has since been passed down to the present day.

Because of its connections with the Mu Family, West Island has been used by several families as a training ground, and there has never been any trouble.

However, South Island has always been a place of purity, especially in recent years, as the Nie Family has been facing increasing difficulties, and all external powers have been eager to take a bite.

Qin Qian is over sixty years old, but he emanates an extremely serene aura; however, the disciples he has trained are not quite like him.

Seeing Mu Xingzhi, he stroked his beard, "I originally thought you would be unaccustomed to the outside world after staying on the island for so long, but now it seems I was overthinking it.

Mu Xingzhi slowly brewed a pot of tea for Qin Qian.

His movements were extremely graceful; his lowered eyebrows and eyes were incomparably refined.

"You specifically had someone bring me back to the Mu Family, there must be something you need, right?" Qin Qian took a sip of the clear tea and chuckled warmly.

Mu Xingzhi nodded, he didn’t beat around the bush with his own teacher and spoke directly, "Teacher, when you were friends with Mr. Nie, did he ever talk about what happened seventeen years ago?"

Regarding Ye Shaohua’s affairs, she never mentioned them, and Mu Xingzhi didn’t know much, but he had been doing many things over the past five years.

The first thing was to secretly investigate Ye Shaohua’s former family, in hopes of sending her back home.

A person as intelligent and gifted as she was surely deeply missed by her family after her disappearance.

Only when he started looking did he realize that all the records had already been meticulously destroyed, without leaving a single trace.

"You’re asking about Shaohua’s affair, aren’t you," Qin Qian thought, sighed, and said, "Old Nie mentioned something while drinking once."

"Seventeen years ago, he saw a family of four being chased by mercenaries. He was about to step in to help, but he overheard a woman telling something to a little girl, and the little girl walked away. He didn’t like that woman very much; initially, he thought the girl was tricked by her to draw away the pursuers," Qin Qian paused before continuing, "But when he followed them, he found that after the woman left, the little girl came out from behind the rocks and quietly watched the three people for a moment, then walked away in the opposite direction."

"At that time, she was about five years old."

Mu Xingzhi’s hand trembled, he was about to refill Qin Qian’s tea, but he picked up the teapot several times and failed to do so.

After a while, he closed his eyes and gave up on refilling the tea.

"Mr. Nie, why did he tell you about this affair?" Mu Xingzhi lowered his hands and looked at Qin Qian.

He didn’t doubt Qin Qian, but he was aware of the type of person the old master of the Nie Family was—stubborn and rigid with his temper, proudly carefree, and Ye Shaohua couldn’t even compare to half of him.

He had always disdained them at West Island, so why would he go out of his way to mention Ye Shaohua’s affair to Qin Qian?

Qin Qian smiled, "Naturally, it’s because of you."

"Me?" Mu Xingzhi hesitated for a moment, "Mr. Nie, isn’t he the one who hates me the most?"

Back in the day, Mu Xingzhi was the benchmark for the entire West Island—meticulous in his actions and appearance, never allowing a wrinkle to mar his clothes, amiable yet courteous. Mr. Nie always found such people highly irritating, even more so than Qin Qian.

He couldn’t stand him and never showed him a shred of kindness.

And when it came to punishing Ye Shaohua, he was merciless.

"I knew you would think that," Qin Qian shook his head slightly, "After that incident five years ago, old Nie refused to see anyone, so why did he see only you?"

"Because he...he felt I could be trusted," Mu Xingzhi stuttered.

He still remembered the old master Nie’s final moments, whom he was the only person to see. He asked Mr. Nie a question, to which Mr. Nie replied that he only trusted Mu Xingzhi’s character.

Although Mu Xingzhi may have been proud, he deeply understood the principles of what a gentleman does and does not do. Despite Mr. Nie always disliking him, he nevertheless trusted Mu Xingzhi’s character.

"In his eyes, am I not more trustworthy than you?" Qin Qian shook his head with a wry smile.

At this moment, Mu Xingzhi was at a loss.

Compared to him, Qin Qian was indeed more trusted by Mr. Nie.

"You have always been very guarded with your thoughts; it was only with old Nie’s reminder that I came to know," Qin Qian gave a hollow sigh, "Drunk, he once said, although Mu Xingzhi of West Island relied on talent and was disdainful, standing tall like a bamboo, not paying regard to anyone, it was a pity that every time he aced an assessment and could choose any room, he always picked the worst one."

Mu Xingzhi’s hand trembled.

Qin Qian looked at him and smiled, "At the time, I did not understand old Nie’s meaning. Until five years ago, you swore to never leave the island for her sake. I thought then that you were truly a man of integrity, going to such lengths for a dying wish of old Nie. It wasn’t until later, after much thought, that I realized the meaning of old Nie’s words. The rooftop of the dormitory building, due to incomplete equipment, was considered the worst room for assessment, but from there, one could perfectly view the training ground on South Island."
