The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law
Chapter 158 - 156 Planning

Chapter 158: Chapter 156 Planning

In Xia Ling’s heart, Long Chen was the man destined for her, irreplaceable by anyone else.

With her outstanding abilities, average men wouldn’t dare approach her.

Because, the Xia Ling of today is not only exceptionally capable.

But also, owning one percent of Dragon Doctor’s shares, Xia Ling’s wealth can be described as terrifying.

Even if it’s just a billion out of a hundred billion, one must realize that Dragon Doctor is an extraordinary behemoth worth several trillion.

But Xia Ling was still the same Xia Ling; her thoughts hadn’t changed with her wealth.

Nowadays, her way of thinking aligned closely with Long Chen’s.

In her heart, money was just a symbol, a means to spread Elixir around the world, to save patients in dire conditions, which was the goal of Dragon Doctor.

"About us, I wanted to make something clear with you in advance."

Xia Ling stared at Long Chen.

"Speak, I’m all ears."

"Mm," Xia Ling whispered gently, "Firstly, I don’t need you to publicly acknowledge me, even if never, that’s fine. Of course, if one day you want to, I’d be happy, but until then, I’m always behind you.

Secondly, well, the second point is really just an extension of the first; don’t feel any psychological burden. You understand the message I’m trying to convey."

"Turns out there really are silly girls in this world, haha."

Long Chen laughed out loud.

"Hmph, I’m only silly in front of you."

Xia Lingjiao huffed.

"I understand what you mean, thank you, little Xia Ling."

Long Chen gently wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

"Mm, oh, I wanted to discuss something with you," said Xia Ling. "How about we set up a charitable foundation?"

"That’s a great idea, enlightened and I fully support it with both hands," Long Chen laughed.

"Hehe, then later on, under the name of the charitable foundation, we can help build schools for the children in impoverished areas, hire good teachers, and even build nursing homes for some of the special elderly. What do you say?"

"Good." Long Chen held her even tighter, he liked Xia Ling who was both beautiful and kind.

After chatting with Xia Ling for a long time, Long Chen finally left the company.

After stepping out of the company, Long Chen felt a sense of reluctance.

This feeling hadn’t emerged in a long time.

Upon returning home, Long Chen found Li Yuechan and Zhao Churan there.

The two ladies were whispering, and upon seeing Long Chen return, Zhao Churan smiled, "Husband, come and give Yuechan some advice."

"What’s happened?"

Long Chen asked.

Li Yuechan forced a smile and said, "Recently, my parents somehow found out that Chenyue Film and Television is mine and your company. They’ve been exceptionally nice to me. Today, my mom even personally brought soup to my company for me to drink.

And then, just now, she called me, saying a friend’s son wants to get into Chenyue. The way she spoke, it was almost pleading, saying she’d boasted and didn’t want to lose face."

"What do you think?" asked Long Chen.

"Sigh, I really don’t know what to do. On one hand, she’s my mom, and I don’t want our relationship to become too strained; on the other hand, we can’t just casually place someone in the company. What if other executives start doing the same? Wouldn’t the company become chaotic?"Li Yuechan sighed.

"Then how about this: since we can’t let your mother lose face, let’s just go along with it, assign that friend’s son a position with no real power. If he still messes up, then we can fire him on the spot."

Long Chen suggested.

"Would that work?" Li Yuechan hesitated.

"Don’t worry, it’s a trivial issue," Long Chen said with a smile.

"Okay then, I’ll listen to you."

"How’s the company doing lately?" Long Chen asked with a smile.

"Growing rapidly, our app downloads have already reached half of Tencent Video," Li Yuechan said with a light laugh, visibly excited.

Long Chen was a little surprised, "Only half? I thought we had already surpassed Tencent Video."

"You joker, Tencent Video and iQiyi are industry leaders; it’s not so easy to surpass them. It’s not just about throwing money at it; it’s also about having rich content and higher service quality," said Li Yuechan.

"You mentioned richer content; can we produce that ourselves?" asked Long Chen.

"Of course, but it’s not cheap because we can’t film just anything—we need good scripts, good teams," replied Li Yuechan.

Long Chen pondered for a moment then said, "Don’t worry about good scripts; Churan’s company has plenty of excellent novels that wouldn’t be difficult to adapt into screenplays. We could source from Churan’s company.

Additionally, let’s establish an entertainment company and dig for big-name movie stars, singers; dig up as many as we can to join our entertainment company. Once we have a quality team, good works will emerge one after another."

"Have you gone mad?"

"Husband, are you sure you’re not joking?"

Both Zhao Churan and Li Yuechan were stunned. If they really went through with it, the investment would be astronomical.

Unfortunately, what Long Chen had in abundance was money, so much that he was almost running out of places to spend it.

"Ran baby, Yueyue, I’m not joking. We must do this, and if we do it, we have to be the strongest, the industry leader," said Long Chen.

"Then how about this, Yuechan, let’s merge my company with yours. The novels will become the original content department. This way, our capital will be even stronger. Starting the entertainment company would be less stressful," suggested Zhao Churan.

"Are you willing?" Li Yuechan asked with a smile.

"Of course, I am willing. We’re all family; what’s there not to be willing about?" Zhao Churan laughed.

"Long Chen, what do you think?" Li Yuechan turned to Long Chen.

Long Chen shrugged, "You can mess around however you like; money is the least of my worries, I have so much that I can’t even keep a low profile if I wanted to."

"Pfft, don’t let the wind blow your tongue away," Li Yuechan rolled her eyes at him.

Zhao Churan leaned on Long Chen’s shoulder and whispered, "We are seriously asking you, so give us a serious answer."

"Let me think about it." Long Chen thought deeply for a while before saying, "Here’s what we’ll do: no need to merge for now, Yuechan can manage the entertainment company, and besides online literature, you, Churan, can expand into animation, games; make it big and strong. I’ll invest in both of your companies, hey, that would mean I’d end up as the biggest boss of both, practically a merger without the actual merger."

"Churan, look at him, showing off. So, how much do you plan to invest?"Li Yuechan teased.

"How about a hundred billion each? Is that enough?" Long Chen asked.

Zhao Churan was dumbstruck, at a loss for words.

Li Yuechan’s breath hitched.

Then, the two women exchanged glances and simultaneously pounced on Long Chen.

"Stop your bragging; I’ll bite you to death."

"Such an unserious guy, asking for a beating."

Long Chen, struggling to fend off the two women’s attacks, exclaimed, "Stop biting randomly, is a hundred billion not enough? Then how about five hundred billion each; surely that’s enough?"
