Chapter 469: Chapter 470: Crash Through the World

On the other side, as soon as Sheng Yan and his mother got home, Mrs. Sheng immediately grabbed Sheng Yan, excitedly asking:

"So, did you secure the catch?"

Sheng Yan calmly said, "Almost there."

Mrs. Sheng clicked her tongue. "Pretend, keep pretending. Just look at your face, what’s that suspicious red mark?"

Sheng Yan was stunned and wanted to find a mirror to look, but the next second, Mrs. Sheng said, "Never mind, don’t bother looking. I was tricking you."

Sheng Yan: "..."

Mrs. Sheng patted him on the shoulder, earnestly saying, "Since you’re already dating, you should find time to go public with the relationship. Once it’s public, you can start preparing for the wedding, and once married, you can have a grandchild."

A helpless expression spread across Sheng Yan’s face: "Mom, it’s not that quick."

Mrs. Sheng confidently said, "What do you mean quick? It’s not quick at all, okay? After this year, you’ll be 26. They say a man should be established by thirty. If you haven’t settled down by then, how could I be reassured?"

"Also, it’s quite popular among celebrities in the entertainment circle to have a secret marriage. Your mom isn’t an old conservative, I respect the young people’s ideas a lot, wanting to have a secret marriage and then children, it’s completely fine!"

Sheng Yan was silent for a while then said softly, "Mom, I won’t have a secret marriage."

A look of approval crossed Mrs. Sheng’s face, she nodded, "Mm, actually, I don’t really agree with secret marriages either. But young people have their own thoughts, and I can’t stop them. If it really comes to that, I will definitely accept it, don’t mind me."

Sheng Yan: "..." She talks as if I really want to have a secret marriage!

A thought flashed through his mind, seemingly out of nowhere, Sheng Yan suddenly felt a compelling urge.

Maybe a secret marriage isn’t... that bad??

In the background, Mrs. Sheng’s words continued to resonate, dropping the final ultimatum: "Next year, the latest by next year, I want to see Jinxia enter our house with the status of my possible daughter-in-law.

Sheng Yan, from childhood till now, whatever you wanted to study or do, I’ve never forced you, I let you grow freely, except for your marital life, I hope you can settle it soon."

Mrs. Sheng sighed softly, "Your mom is getting older by the day and can’t always look after you. I just want to see you happily settled down."

After enforcing a strong policy, Mrs. Sheng switched to a more tender and persuasive approach, applying both stick and carrot, leaving Sheng Yan speechless.

Finally managing to send his mother away, Sheng Yan sat in the study, tapping his fingers on the desk, his face full of contemplation.

Thinking of something, he took out his phone to make a call.

Zhang Ming was deeply immersing himself in sweet dreams in the land of tenderness when suddenly, at one moment, the vigorous music from his phone seemed like a mid-nightmare startle in the quiet night!

Zhang Ming was sleeping like a dead pig, the music didn’t wake him up but instead woke up his wife.

His wife, woken up irritably, grabbed the phone and threw it towards Zhang Ming. Seeing that he still wasn’t awake, she shook him vigorously till he woke up.

With sleepy confusion, facing his wife’s annoyed gaze, Zhang Ming groggily answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Ah, what did you say? I couldn’t hear clearly. Did you say you want to act in a movie?" Zhang Ming repeated, still groggy.

As the person on the other end didn’t speak, Zhang Ming’s talkative nature kicked in, and he started rambling:

"Acting sounds great, you should act more to get your face out there, maybe by next year’s Star Celebrities List, you could break into the top fifty globally. Currently, there are only three from Huaxia in the top fifty... Wait, wait, you said you want to act in a movie?!"

Zhang Ming suddenly snapped back to reality and exclaimed.

"I heard you, you said you want to show up in a New Year’s film, right? Indeed, next year’s New Year’s film is such a great opportunity, how can you miss it? Don’t worry, once I spread the word, there will definitely be a production team looking for you..."

Listening to Zhang Ming’s rambling, Sheng Yan felt utterly unperturbed inside.

Heaven knows he only said one sentence of four words to Zhang Ming, which were "I want to act", and from that Zhang Ming had already concocted such a bunch.

What can one say, isn’t he indeed the ace agent of Tonghua Entertainment?

Suddenly thinking of something, Zhang Ming lightly chuckled and snickered, "Hehe, what’s got into you? Calling me at this hour saying you want to act, did He Jinxia say something to you?"

"Brother Yan, actually, I’ve been meaning to tell you, Jinxia is not lacking in ability, she knows how to pick scripts, she’s ambitious, and she has a good image. Sooner or later, she will reach your current position."

"If you’re not focused on the entertainment circle, there’s a chance that later on, her fame might even surpass yours, tsk, women strong, men weak, who will be the family head then?"

"To maintain your position as family head, you still need to put in a lot of effort. I believe in you!"

Having said all this in one breath, Zhang Ming then hung up, leaving Sheng Yan speechless and choked up in front of his phone.

A sharp light flickered through his eyes, and he decided to save this conversation and play it back to him personally at the company tomorrow.

Getting bold, aren’t we, to even joke with the boss!

If he doesn’t dock his salary this time, where will the boss’s dignity stand?!

But... Sheng Yan frowned slightly, silently analyzing Zhang Ming’s words. Perhaps he could take his career in the entertainment circle more seriously?

Indeed... he cannot afford to be ineffectual.

The next morning, He Jinxia was taken by Cheng Xiaohua to the location of the film crew.

The film crew, desperate for help, was called "Crash Through the World", which immediately struck one as profoundly earthy as soon as one heard it.

Putting other factors aside, the name "Crash Through the World" was quite fierce, sounding very imposing at first listen.

However, the content of the movie was not about someone wielding a knife and traversing the North and South as one might imagine. Instead, this movie was about a story of entrepreneurship.

The two male leads went from being small-time private tutors to teaching at coaching classes, and then to being owners of a coaching institute.

From sneaky personal teaching, they became nationally famous for their foreign language coaching institute.

While Huaxia was still struggling amongst second-tier nations, there was a group of entrepreneurs also striving hard; they rolled up their sleeves, vowing to break through the barriers of other nations.

At that time in Huaxia, studying abroad was very popular, and people would study the essence of foreign countries and then return to contribute to their motherland.

Of course, slogans were easy to shout, but what those who studied abroad were really thinking, well, others didn’t know.

In "Crash Through the World" there were two male leads; it tells how they started a business domestically and then, through their efforts, made their mark overseas, breaking into international IELTS and TOEFL markets, continuously providing a stream of students studying abroad for their country.

Ultimately, when their company faced a crisis, the two founders saved the day and successfully took the company public to break the conspiracy!

Breaking industry barriers!

Becoming the leader of foreign language coaching institutes in Huaxia!
