Chapter 212: Chapter 212, You Started Joking With Me First _1
Translator: 549690339
Zhang Dabao, in a previous life, became the richest man in a province for a year.
His wealth came from real estate, and… his daughter.
Zhang Dabao had a son and a daughter.
The son, the foolish simpleton right before his eyes.
But his daughter was extraordinary.
Though just average in appearance, she was an extremely gifted pharmaceutical scientist.
In her twenties, she invented a drug that could enhance men’s capabilities.
Furthermore, this drug was tested by organizations from numerous countries, and found to have very minor side effects on the human body.
It only had one percent of the side effects of the Wanderer’s Pill, another medication.
However, its effectiveness was stronger than even these familiar ones.
By virtue of this invention, Zhang Dabao’s daughter was able to realize after-tax profits of almost nine hundred million each year just from patent fees granted to major pharmaceutical companies.
She literally earned a lifetime’s wealth by just lying down.
Jiang Xu thought to himself, Uncle Zhang, I’m determined to make friends with you.
“Hello, I’m Zhang Dabao, what an impressive young man you are.”
Zhang Dabao was true to his name, medium-sized, with a round face, just like a large ingot.
He gave off an impression of being simple and honest.
After exchanging pleasantries, both sides sat down.
Zhang Dabao got straight to the point: “1 own 9.2% of Qinghe Entertainment’s shares. I’m asking for 51 million, no negotiation on the price.
If you think the price is right, I brought the contract, it can be signed right away.”
Cordial Uncle Zhang.” JiangXu nodded: “Just a question,
Don’t you need to notify the majority and secondary shareholders first before you sell your shares?”
Generally speaking, such weighty shareholders, upon initial investment, would have an agreement.
If one shareholder wanted to sell his shares, the other shareholders had the first right to buy them.
Zhang Dabao laughed: “I asked, they have most of their money invested in real estate and no extra to buy more.”
Jiang Xu then understood.
The real estate market had just begun to heat up.
Loads of people with piles of cash invested in real estate.
The majority believed that investing in real estate now would bring in enormous profits.
Jiang Xu took the contract Zhang Dabao handed him.
He carefully read it once through.
Then he passed it over to his legal team.
Once they confirmed there were no issues, Jiang Xu signed it straightaway.
Zhang Dabao laughed heartily: “Such a candid young man. I have something to tend to, so I have to leave early. Lu, look after our esteemed guest for me.”
“Yes, dad.”
Zhang Dabao hurriedly left.
Jiang Xu also asked his legal team to leave first.
This fellow Zhang Lu had Jiang Xu and Zhou Qingyue come drink with him, claiming to celebrate.
Jiang Xu, understanding his motives, knew his aim was to get Zhou Qingyue drunk.
As an internet writer, Jiang Xu didn’t drink alcohol.
It would considerably affect his thinking.
So in the face of Zhang Lu, who kept pouring him drinks, Jiang Xu resisted. After refusing several times, Zhang Lu started getting upset: “Are you looking down on me?”
Jiang Xu softly said: “Aren’t you stupid, what’s the point of drinking with me?
You should save your strength to deal with Zhou Qingyue.
Once you’ve gotten her drunk, isn’t it just doing whatever you want afterward?”
Zhang Lu thought about it.
Jiang Xu made sense.
So he swivelled around and kept drinking with Zhou Qingyue.
After Zhou Qingyue had a few drinks, her cheeks turned rosy and her eyes grew hazy.
She looked like she could pass out at any moment.
Zhang Lu started getting excited.
Not giving Zhou Qingyue any time to rest, he kept downing one glass after another.
Ten minutes later.
“Thud!”
Zhang Lu lay flat on the table, sound asleep.
Meanwhile, Zhou Qingyue who previously seemed bewildered, instantly snapped back to reality.
She looked disdainfully at Zhang Lu, picking up her bag.
The moment she stood up, she stumbled and fell towards Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu quickly sidestepped and avoided her.
Zhou Qingyue:
She quickly recovered her balance, acting as if nothing had happened.
She asked, “Have you finished writing the novel?”
“Yes.” Jiang Xu nodded: “Let’s talk about it outside.”
In the main hall.
Jiang Xu and Zhou Qingyue sat across from each other.
While Zhou Qingyue sipped her hangover tea, she read the beginning of “Palace
Life” Jiang Xu had given her.
Her expression was serious, her red cheeks gradually fading.
This woman’s alcohol tolerance, he didn’t know if it was recently developed or if she was naturally gifted.
Jiang Xu saw that she had drunk a whole bottle of red wine and was still thinking clearly.
She can drink, she’s beautiful, and she’s capable, she has most of the elements required for success.
If she were willing to let go, discuss scripts with some big-name directors at two in the morning, becoming famous wouldn’t be a problem.
Half an hour later, Zhou Qingyue finished looking at the contract.
She lifted her head, her face showing lingering joy, her eyes not hiding the surprise: “Your book is written so well, it will definitely become a hit.”
Originally, she was still somewhat anxious.
Because this drama was invested and paid by her.
Now, after seeing Jiang Xu’s script, all remaining doubts were gone.
Jiang Xu asked: “How much money can you invest now?”
Zhou Qingyue said: “The TV dramas and movies I’ve acted in have done quite well.
In addition, I’ve recently endorsed a few advertisements. I gave my family one million and I still have ten million.”
Jiang Xu was dismayed.
Making money in this industry really was easy.
At most, she’s been in the industry for half a year, and she’s already worth ten million.
“Ten million, that’s not enough.” Jiang Xu shook his head.
The background for this novel was vast.
Besides, it was a palace drama, requiring a lot of props.
Even if they hired cheap actors, it probably wouldn’t be enough.
Zhou Qingyue said: “It’s enough. A famous director’s son is pursuing me.
He can provide costumes and some locations at a low price.
Also, the company will invest part of it, so it will be enough.”
This woman knew how to leverage her advantages.
If that’s the case, Jiang Xu had no problem.
Zhou Qingyue had prepared everything that needed to be prepared.
Now that Jiang Xu’s novel was in place, the scenario could be changed by the scriptwriter, and filming could start soon.
“Alright, I’m going.”
Jiang Xu stood up ready to leave.
“I’ve had some alcohol and can’t drive. Can you give me a ride?” Zhou Qingyue pleaded with Jiang Xu, eyes full of mist.
Weak, pitiful, helpless.
”Alright.” Jiang Xu agreed.
Suddenly, Zhou Qingyue’s eyes lit up: “Really? You’re not joking with me.”
Jiang Xu: “You’re the one who started joking first.”
Zhou Qingyue:
After saying that, Jiang Xu turned around and left.
Give me a break, give you a ride.
Zhou Qingyue was so angry she almost gritted her teeth.
Both her small hands clenched into tight fists.
She really wanted to rush up and give Jiang Xu a few punches.
Jiang Xu got in the car, started it, fastened his seatbelt, and prepared to leave.
Just then, An Nuonuo called him.
Jiang Xu answered with doubt.
Then came An Nuonuo’s shaky voice over the line: “Brother, when are you coming home?”
