Chapter 248: 239 Hits, Let Fu Yihan Change His Wife [3 updates]

Am I supposed to have the power of foresight, or am I just good at predicting things?

Can I know in advance everything he’s going to say?

“Who is this person?” The middle-aged man turned his head again and gave a cold glance at the head of the marketing department. “I’ve heard that Chuguang Media has strict management. Since when could an eighteenth-tier star make it up to this floor?”

Although the headquarters of Chuguang Media is in the capital, the size of its Shanghai Branch is not small.

The capital connects with the international film and TV community, while Shanghai manages domestic business.

The two are generally separate.

The Shanghai Branch building has a total of thirty floors.

Above the twenty-sixth floor is where the executives work, including directors, chairpersons, and executive directors, among others.

The elevator used by the staff and artists doesn’t go up to the twenty-sixth floor.

You can only enter if you swipe an identity card.

The middle-aged man was also well-versed in the entertainment industry, naturally keeping track of various stars.

But he had never seen Ying Zijin in the entertainment circle.

Such a face, even without any talent, could become the number one top-tier celebrity in the entertainment world simply by playing the role of a pretty face.

Divine beauty.

This term, applied to other top female celebrities in the entertainment industry, might seem exaggerated or not unanimously accepted.

But to describe this girl, it was even an understatement.

The middle-aged man immediately judged that she must be a new artist recently signed by Chuguang Media.

His expression changed.

Chuguang Media was already the number one entertainment company in Hua Country. If they were to play this trump card, would there still be a chance for others to even sip the leftovers?

The heads of the marketing department and the publicity department didn’t seem to hear what the middle-aged man said, nor did they respond.

Both stood up abruptly, staring straight at the girl, so nervous they couldn’t even speak. “Exe… Exe…”

As company executives, they, of course, knew there had been a change in the executive director.

They had heard from the female secretary that it was a young girl.

This was their first time seeing Ying Zijin.

They never expected that their new executive director’s appearance would outshine every female celebrity in the entertainment industry.

The female secretary was finally satisfied.

At least when she first met her boss, she didn’t stutter.

These two grown men, really too weak.

Ying Zijin glanced at the assistant whose face bore a red mark, pointed to the folders on the ground, and said calmly, “Pick them up.”

This remark made the few people behind the middle-aged man change their expressions.

The middle-aged man sneered, “What did you say? Are you ordering me?”

Even the directors of Chuguang Media had to show him some respect.

A starlet who hadn’t even debuted officially?

He had a hundred ways to make her disappear without a trace.

Ying Zijin nodded slightly, “If I pick it up, your face won’t be safe.”

The middle-aged man laughed again, he crossed his legs arrogantly, “I won’t pick it up. What can you do to me?”

The observant female secretary immediately bent down to pick up the blue folder and handed it over.

Ying Zijin took it and raised her hand.

With a “clang,” she hurled it straight at the middle-aged man’s face.

Although the girl didn’t seem to exert much force, it was fiercer than the violent throw the middle-aged man had made earlier.

With that one hit, the middle-aged man, along with the chair, toppled to the ground.

There was a mark from the folder on his nose bridge, almost indented.

The assistant was shocked, her body still trembling.

Just then, a hand pressed on her shoulder, accompanied by a faint voice, “Go to the tea room over there.”

The assistant was momentarily stunned.

She didn’t know Ying Zijin’s identity, but seeing that her own director hadn’t said anything, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s one thing for a small employee to be used as a punching bag; the company couldn’t afford to bear the brunt of someone’s anger.

Rubbing her eyes, the assistant said “Thank you” and headed out with her head down.

“Director Yang, Director Xu, what is the meaning of this?” The middle-aged man’s secretary helped him up, his eyes cold and fierce. “If we post today’s incident on Weibo, your Chuguang Media’s stock could drop several points.”

“Good, very good.” The middle-aged man shrugged off his secretary and sneered, “Your new drama plagiarized our script, and you still dare to be so arrogant? I am going to…”

“Boss!” The head of the marketing department, Director Yang, finally blurted out these two words, both apologetic and ashamed. “We’ve caused you trouble.”

The middle-aged man’s words were cut short, his eyes widened suddenly, and his head buzzed.

“If you know it’s trouble, remember to fight back next time.” Ying Zijin looked up, “The medical expenses for injuries are covered by the company, and for other matters, we have the PR department.”

“Don’t worry, boss.” Director Yang immediately assured, “Next time, we’ll definitely be stepping on his face when we fight.”

Only he didn’t get the chance to act before he was seen.

Ying Zijin pondered for a moment, “Script plagiarism?”

“We’ll resolve this issue right now.” Director Xu also spoke up, his expression serious, “You needn’t worry about it, Boss.”

The middle-aged man was still in a daze, unable to snap back to reality, when the girl had already left the conference room.

Director Yang finally let out a sigh of relief.

He turned his head, his voice cold, “My assistant handed documents to Chairman Li, who didn’t even look before throwing them away, and even flung them at her face. Chairman Li, Chuguang Media does not welcome you today.”

He smiled again, “As for who plagiarized whom in the script, Chairman Li, you know it very well. This is Hua Country after all. We know you’re backed by Era Media, but if you think Era Media will intervene, you’re probably overestimating yourself.”

Era Media was a well-known entertainment company in O Continent.

It was one of the three giants of the global entertainment industry.

Chairman Li abruptly stood up, his head covered in sweat, his face fierce but hollow inside, “Then let’s see if Chuchuan can still be as tough by then!”

He snorted coldly and walked away with his subordinates.

At this moment, at the Fu Family residence.

The incidents that occurred after the auction, even though Fu Yihan and Fu Yunshen didn’t speak of them, Old Master Fu eventually found out.

It was also because Old Master Fu liked to move around a lot after his health had recovered.@@novelbin@@

Su Ruan, who was hiding in the small grove in the garden and tattling to the Su Family, was overheard by him.

He didn’t say anything at the moment but after returning to his room, he called Fu Yihan over.

Fu Yihan knew that it had taken a great deal for Old Master Fu to recover, and he feared that something might happen to him again after twenty years, so he was very cautious in everything.

“Grandfather.”

“You’re here.” Old Master Fu was sitting in a rocking chair and rested for a few minutes before he finally spoke up, drawing out his words, “Eldest grandson, what do you think about getting a new wife?”

Fu Yihan was visibly shaken, “Grandfather?”

“Just tell me, do you want to or not?” Old Master Fu asked indifferently, “Don’t worry about your grandfather. I know you don’t like her. You married her only out of responsibility.”

It was his fault.

He had originally thought that since Su Ruan was the daughter of his old friend, and came from a General’s Background, she couldn’t possibly be that bad.

The Su Family was also in the imperial capital, promising broader prospects for the future.

At least, he thought, after his passing, Fu Yunshen would still have someone to rely on.

But in the end, he had harmed both his grandsons.

Old Master Su always felt guilty and indebted to him.

Fu Yihan fell silent for a moment, and after a while, he began to speak, “Grandfather, I—”

“Alright, I know your decision.” Old Master Fu sighed, “If only you had a bit of your father’s ruthlessness, I might worry less.”

He waved his hand, signaling Fu Yihan to leave.

Fu Yihan’s hand rested on the door; nevertheless, he said, “Grandfather, don’t worry. I will keep an eye on her, ensuring she doesn’t cross Yunshen’s path. If she does anything else, I will divorce her.”

Old Master Fu remained silent, his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep.

Only after Fu Yihan had left did he open his eyes and slowly got up, walking over to the bookshelf.

He reached for the highest shelf and took down a framed picture.

Old Master Fu’s eyes reddened, and he murmured, “Twenty years have passed, and soon it will be that day again…”

He too had lived an additional twenty years.

Old Master Fu gazed at the photo in the frame for a long time, wiped it clean with a cloth, and then put it back.

**

After the start of the third year of high school, the academic workload was immense.

But if a good foundation had been built during the first and second year, the third year would be considerably easier.

After Zhong Zhiwan dropped out of Verdant, the position of class president, according to popularity and academic performance, fell to Ying Yuexuan.

After collecting her classmates’ opinions on their aspirations, Ying Yuexuan went to the office to hand them over to Teacher Xu.

The office door was ajar, and inside, besides Teacher Xu, she saw Teacher Deng and the Head of the Physics Group.

They were in the midst of a discussion.

Ying Yuexuan didn’t go in but instead stood at the door, listening.

“This spot has been granted by the organizing committee, and Verdant has only one,” Teacher Deng was speaking, “With the level of competition against elite international schools being exceptionally high, I believe that aside from Ying Zijin, there’s no more suitable candidate. Let’s choose her.”

Upon hearing this, Ying Yuexuan suddenly remembered the earlier discussion in the class.

However, her concern wasn’t that, but the name Teacher Deng had mentioned.

Ying Zijin.

Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips, unable to hold back, she announced herself and entered.

All three teachers turned to look at her.

“Yuexuan is here.” Teacher Xu smiled and nodded, “Your mock exam scores have improved a lot compared to last year, worth encouraging.”

“Thank you, Teacher Xu.” Ying Yuexuan put the documents on the desk and, lifting her head, she looked straight at Teacher Deng.

Caught off guard by her gaze, Teacher Deng was slightly startled, “Ying Yuexuan, what is it?”

“Teacher Deng, I’m someone who speaks her mind directly,” Ying Yuexuan said slowly, “May I ask what the criteria are for deciding who gets this spot? You’ve already fixed on a candidate; isn’t this a personal preference?”
