âDonât overthink it. He did that because of me. You should thank me,â said Nian Junting blandly. âAnd Xiao Si, the goal of our company this year will be focused on the TV and film industry. Iâll destroy Yi Jingxi. Last time, I told you to purchase a film company. Howâs it going?â
âEm, Iâm targeting Yu Xi Film. That company has a good producing group, and has produced quite some high-rating films and TV series. Last year they invested over a billion on a TV series, but because of the changes of the policy, and some negative news regarding the leading female actress, the series hasnât aired yet. Due to that reason, the company suffered heavy losses. However, many companies now have their eyes on Yu Xi Film, and one of them is...â Xiao Si paused briefly, glancing at Lousang before continuing, â... is the Yi Group.â
Lousang frowned, saying, âI know Yu Xi Film. I used to do voice-acting for Ji Nuanyi from that company.â
âYeah. Before, Ji Nuanyi was just a B-list actress, but these days, Yu Xi has made her a star.â Xiao Si paused again and said, âI heard that she has some issues with Zhong Yi. Their fans often attack eachother online. Yu Xi has a few popular actors and actresses. If they werenât in debt, they would never become like this. Many people want to purchase their company, and the Yi Group is our biggest competitor.â
âYi Jingxi is really ambitious,â Nian Junting sneered, âBut I wonât let him get what he wants. From this day on, collect all the information about Yu Xi. We will buy it.â
âI think... I can help,â said Luosang abruptly. âJi Nuanyi and I are actually friends.â
Nian Juntingâs face instantly darkened as he asked, âIs Ji Nuanyi a man or a woman?â
Luosang was speechless.
âDidnât you hear me say that she was an actress?â asked Xiao Si.
Hearing that, Nian Juntingâs expression lightened up, and he said, âYeah? Iâm not interested in actresses, so I didnât listen carefully.â
Luosang rolled her eyes and said, âYou should know that sheâs a girl judging by her name.â
âWho knows,â said Nian Junting. âNowadays some men have girly names too.â Snorting blandly, he added, âAnd they look like neither a woman or a man. I mean Yi Jingxi.â
Xiao Si rubbed his forehead. Nian Junting just wouldnât miss any chance to depreciate Yi Jingxi.
âI havenât talked to Ji Nuanyi in two years, so I donât know if she has changed or not,â said Lousang. âWhen she was an unknown actress, she was cheerful and optimistic. She was the nicest actress Iâve ever met. She was nice and caring to everyone. After my Dad went to prison, I couldnât find a job. But she reached out to me and invited me to do voice-acting for her new series. Sadly, her manager and company strongly disagreed, because they didnât want to go against Yi Jingxi. I didnât want to put her in a difficult position either, so I refused her kindness.â
âYou donât find a lot of people like that in the film and television circle.â Xiao Si nodded and said, âNow, Ji Nuanyi is the most popular actress in Yu Xi, so I guess her words mean something to the company now. With her help, weâll get twice the result with half the effort. But we donât know if sheâs still a nice person. After all, the circle can change people a lot.â
âWe can try. Let me meet her.â Luosang glanced at Nian Junting.
Nian Junting frowned, thought for a few seconds, then asked, âDoes Ji Nuanyi have a boyfriend?â
