Chapter 799: Chapter 799: Taking the Initiative to Expose Oneself

“No way?” Zhou Qingyue stared at Jiang Xu in utter shock.

Jiang Xu nodded slightly.

He had just shared everything he could.

Of course, he attributed it all to an accidental discovery.

Even though the things from his previous life had not yet occurred.

But Zhao Wei has been up to no good these years as well.

Jiang Xu said indifferently, “No matter how deep your cooperation with her is, or how much money you can make from it.”

“I strongly advise you to immediately sever all ties with her and anyone closely related to her.”

“Otherwise, you will suffer severe backlash in the near future.”

With that said.

Whether Zhou Qingyue would listen or not was her business.

“Okay, I got it, thanks,” Zhou Qingyue took a deep breath.

Compared to Zhao Wei, Zhou Qingyue naturally tended to trust Jiang Xu more.

So she approached Zhao Wei, her expression blank, and said, “Miss Zhao, there was a little problem today, you should head back first.”

“Zhou! Qing! Yue!” Zhao Wei gritted her teeth and punctuated every word, “Did you invite me over just to humiliate me?!”

Zhou Qingyue shook her head, “I wouldn’t dare, it really was an accident, my sincere apologies.”

She mouthed an apology, but there was not a trace of regret on her face.

After learning some things about Zhao Wei from Jiang Xu, she lost all good feelings towards this woman.

And wasn’t afraid to offend her in the slightest.

She was a capital force to be reckoned with, big or small.

If life and death don’t phase her, she’s ready to face the music if anyone disagrees.

“Fine, fine, fine,” Zhao Wei laughed in fury, “Just you wait, today’s issue isn’t over!”

Having said that, she stormed off.

Zhao Wei had long accomplished her initial wealth accumulation, owning billions, and had a strong network both inside and outside the circle.

Having been humiliated today, she naturally wouldn’t let it go easily.

Jiang Xu didn’t have the habit of waiting to be hit before retaliating.

He liked to take the initiative in everything, not to be passive.

Except when feeling awkward.

He sent an instruction to the almighty Liu Dahai.

To fully investigate Zhao Wei.

To expose all her dirty secrets and let her retire early.

After this little episode, everyone gathered to eat and drink.

With Zhao Wei gone, they were all insiders.

Just Jiang Xu as the only man.

Even though Jiang Xu had no other thoughts about the girls besides An Nuonuo.

This scene still looked very comfortable.

It could be described as vibrant and lively.

All the girls were pretty, with long legs, slim waists, big eyes.

Their skin was fair, and their ‘thunder’ was impressive.

“Nuonuo,” Zhou Mengmeng poured An Nuonuo a drink, then asked softly, “I want to make a movie, can you help me?”

“Huh?” An Nuonuo was startled, “Why do you want to make a movie suddenly?”

Zhou Qingyue and a few other girls also turned their attentive gaze towards her.

Because Zhou Mengmeng was good at socializing, looked sweet and cute, and had high emotional intelligence.

She quickly became everyone’s favorite, except for Jiang Xiaoyan.

“I originally wanted to fully enjoy college life while I’m at university,” Zhou Mengmeng explained,

“But I’ve been thinking it over recently and decided to change my approach.”

“I should take advantage of my youth and energy to strive for success.”

“So that later on, when I’m a bit older, I can retire early.”

“Sure,” An Nuonuo replied without hesitation, “What type of movie would you like to make?”

“Let’s shoot ‘Blue Sea’,” Zhou Mengmeng had already made up her mind, “Isn’t this animation really popular recently?”

“Making a movie brings in viewers, and I will also have a method to gain a huge amount of traffic when the time comes.”

An Nuonuo understood the method Zhou Mengmeng was referring to for gaining huge traffic.

It was certainly to reveal her identity as ‘The Demon Queen’ when the movie premiered.

By then, her comic fans would swarm into the cinemas like crazy.

As long as the movie was completely loyal to the original, and Zhou Mengmeng’s acting wasn’t particularly bad, it was sure to be a hit.

Jiang Xu also quickly grasped the key point.

It was as if he could already see a glittering mountain of gold growing legs and running towards him.

Without hesitation, he made his decision, “No problem, how much do you want for your salary?”

“I don’t want a salary,” Zhou Mengmeng shook her head, “I want a twenty percent share of the box office revenue.”

“Haha,” Jiang Xu laughed, “You’re asking for quite a bit, little sister.”

Zhou Qingyue also tugged at Zhou Mengmeng’s hand, giving her a look.

Signaling her not to be too excessive.

A newcomer who hadn’t even officially debuted yet had the guts to ask for twenty percent of the box office, which sounded quite preposterous.

“I can sign a box office guarantee contract,” Zhou Mengmeng ignored her cousin’s look.

She looked at Jiang Xu with determined eyes, “Brother Jiang, if the movie doesn’t surpass three billion at the box office, I’ll cover the shortfall.”

The crowd immediately showed expressions of surprise.

In the current domestic film market, there weren’t even ten movies that had surpassed three billion.

Where did Zhou Mengmeng get the courage and confidence to make such a bold claim?

“Oh?” Jiang Xu became interested, “Then tell me, where does your confidence come from?”

“It comes from the two words ‘The Demon Queen’.”

“‘The Demon Queen’? What’s that?” Chu Youwei asked.

“You are ‘The Demon Queen’?!” exclaimed Zhou Qingyue as she jumped up on the spot.

“Pfft!”

Jiang Xiaoyan, who was drinking water, also spit it out.

Zhou Mengmeng nodded shyly.

After some explanation, Chu Youwei finally understood what ‘The Demon Queen’ was and her status in the comic world.

She looked at Zhou Mengmeng with a touch more admiration in her eyes.

“You’re actually ‘The Demon Queen’! Ahhh!” Zhou Qingyue placed her hands on Zhou Mengmeng’s shoulders and shook her vigorously.

“Cousin, please stop, you’re going to shake me apart,” Zhou Mengmeng protested.

Zhou Qingyue stopped, but her excitement was still apparent, “The Demon Queen is a legendary figure. I always thought she must be at least in her forties or fifties, but I can’t believe it’s you.”

“I want to act in this movie too, even if it’s just as your maidservant,” she declared.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyan’s mood was as unpleasant as eating a hundred flies.

Because reading comics was one of her hobbies.

And among the many comic artists, her favorite was ‘The Demon Queen’.

She felt that the author had a very special aura about her and her works really resonated with her.

But now she was being told that her favorite author was the person she disliked the most.

Jiang Xiaoyan drank several cups of drinks in succession to calm her shock and barely managed to accept this reality.

Then she resolved not to follow this woman’s comics anymore.

She absolutely could not let her earn even a cent more from her!

Ah? Wait a second!

But then Jiang Xiaoyan had another thought.

I can read pirated copies, right?

Then I can enjoy her work without contributing, right?

The thought made her gleeful.

Hehehe, I’m such a genius.
