Chapter 384: Chapter 384: To celebrate my selection, live streaming tomorrow night.

"How much funding are you expecting?"

After reviewing the documents, Jiang Li asked.

Shao Changqing hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and made a figure eight.

"Not much, just eight hundred million."

Jiang Li: "...."

Quite the understatement.

She finally understood why the boss who had just left was so angry.

But...

She looked up again and examined the man’s face before her, then asked, "What’s your date of birth?"

"Ah?"

Jiang Li repeated the question.

Shao Changqing was extremely puzzled, "Does Miss Jiang consider this for investments too..."

"Of course." Jiang Li took a sip of the coffee in front of her and said, "After all, nobody wants to make a losing deal."

Seeing her clear eyes and extremely elegant demeanor, Shao Changqing did not think she was a charlatan trying to deceive him, so he gave her his date of birth.

Jiang Li slightly calculated with her fingers, then her face showed a smile.

"Don’t worry, I am definitely investing in your movie."

Shao Changqing was confused but also slightly expectant, "What do you mean by that?"

But Jiang Li just smiled faintly, "Heaven’s secrets must not be revealed."

Then she stood up, "Let’s exchange contact information. If you have some time in the next few days, come by my place, and we can discuss the specifics of the project. Also, don’t worry about the lead role—I have a few candidates in mind." freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Shao Changqing sat on the sofa, stunned and somewhat in disbelief at what he had heard.

"Bu-but I’ve only managed to raise ten million until now, can you really cover the remaining more than seven hundred million?"

"Yes." Jiang Li said with absolute certainty.

Although she didn’t have it now, it didn’t mean she wouldn’t have it in the future.

"By the way," as she was stepping out of the shop, Jiang Li turned around, "you don’t have to wear this outfit to my house tomorrow. Remember to find a decent barbershop, buy a few sets of clean and refreshing clothes and shoes—sometimes dressing appropriately is also a reflection of social etiquette."

Shao Changqing actually disliked it when people spoke to him with such a commanding tone.

Yet, for some reason, when Jiang Li’s cold gaze swept over him, he subconsciously nodded.

Seeing this, Jiang Li finally left contentedly, opening the door and walking out.

...

It wasn’t long after she returned home that Shen Lan called her again. Before Jiang Li could even speak, she began to curse furiously.

"That damned Zheng Xun, really thinks he’s a big shot after making a few movies and going on a few variety shows? Acting all high and mighty. If it weren’t for me recommending him for the lead role before, he’d still be groveling at everybody’s feet!"

Jiang Li, completely unable to get a word in: "...."

"So, Second Aunt got the cold shoulder?"

"Don’t even mention it." Shen Lan took a sip of water to soothe her throat, "I didn’t even get to see Zheng Xun’s face; I only met with his assistant. I was so angry I left right away."

"But—" her tone shifted, "I still found out some other things, and I have a rough idea why your name appeared on the list for ’Wilderness Survival 30 Days’."

"Why?"

"Do you know who the biggest sponsor is for the second season of the reality show?"

Jiang Li recalled the news she had seen before, "Chang’an Media."

"That’s right," Shen Lan said, "And do you know which group Chang’an Media is under?"

Jiang Li really didn’t know.

She didn’t pay much attention to the entertainment industry, let alone the intricacies of these companies.

"It’s the Gu Group." Shen Lan lowered her voice.

These four characters were all too familiar to Jiang Li; after a brief moment of thought, she guessed the answer.

"So, it was Jin Siyue’s doing?"

"Right," Shen Lan confirmed her speculation, "I took some effort to ask around their internal staff, and Jin Siyue is indeed the producer for ’Wilderness Survival 30 Days’! It must have been that day at Du Sang’s that he bore a grudge against you, thus seeking revenge this way. But why take revenge on you only, and even drag Jiang Yan into this as well?"

Jiang Li: "Hmm...."

How should she explain to Second Aunt what happened at Golden Sand?

Forget it, better not say anything.

As Zhao Lang had predicted, the little demon wasn’t idle.

Hearing that something was off on the other end, Shen Lan hurriedly changed her tone to comfort: "But Lili, don’t worry. Even if Jin Siyue arranged for you to go in, it was not your subjective will. As long as we buy a wave of public opinion to force him to help you withdraw your application, it’s still possible."

"No, Second Aunt," Jiang Li smiled briefly and rejected Shen Lan’s suggestion, "Don’t withdraw from the show; I’ll participate."

Shen Lan: ?

"Have you lost your mind?! That variety show is no joke! ’Wilderness Survival 30 Days’ is nothing like our company’s ’Shining Transformation Trip’ in concept. Not to mention, you’ve also got Zheng Xun, such a lunatic, involved. You really don’t need to take this risk!"

Mentioning Zheng Xun, Shen Lan’s anger flared up once again.

"Damn, I was wondering how he’s been so carefree these past two years; turns out he’s been clinging to the Gu Family’s coattails!"

Jiang Li said with a calm demeanor, "I’m not taking a risk; I need money."

"How much do you need? I—"

"Eight hundred million."

Shen Lan spat out her water onto the table.

"How, how much?! Eight hundred million? Have you, have you been gambling?"

"No." Jiang Li explained, "Don’t worry, Second Aunt, I’m not that kind of person. I have a specific use for the money."

If someone else had said this, Shen Lan would definitely not have believed them, thinking they were out of their mind.

But this person was Jiang Li, and immediately, she fell silent.

After a long while, she slowly spoke: "Have you really thought this through?"

"Yes, I’ve thought it through. I’m going to participate."

It was just right; she wanted to see just what kind of challenge Jin Siyue had set up for her.

She had one major penchant—that was to challenge the impossible.

"Alright," Shen Lan also decided, "Since you’ve made up your mind, all I can do is fully support you. Don’t worry, Jiang Yan will follow you, and he can serve as a human shield if there’s any danger."

Jiang Li: .

Jiang Yan: (Sneezed loudly) ???

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Li opened Weibo again.

Looking at the participant list posted by the ’Wilderness Survival 30 Days’ account, her fingertips gently brushed across the screen a few times before she hit the repost button—

Jiang Li V: "Thank you to the ’Wilderness Survival 30 Days’ production team for recognizing me. See you in a month. To celebrate being selected, I will have a benefit live-stream on Weibo tomorrow night where I’ll tell fortunes online. Limited spots, destiny awaits."

As soon as the Weibo post was released, it promptly caused yet another sensation.

[Holy shit, Sister Li is really going to participate in the survival show?!]

[Ahhh I’m so excited!]

[The show is so dangerous, Lili, you must be careful.]

[Live fortune telling!!! I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time, I must get drawn this time!]

Soon, the post landed right under Jin Siyue’s watchful eyes.

He thought that upon receiving the news, Jiang Li would cry and make a fuss, or even come directly begging for mercy.

But to his surprise, she just calmly accepted it.

Even posting on Weibo to challenge him?!

Fine.

He wanted to see if she had the fate to walk out of the Deserted Island!
