After some discussion,
Jiang Xu invested a hundred million, taking a fifty percent stake in the movie.
He also took care of all the production costs.
Zhou Qingyue contributed fifty million, securing a twenty percent stake.
Zhou Mengmeng offered the movie rights for âBlue Seaâ plus no acting fees and a box office guarantee of three billion to hold a twenty percent share.
The last ten percent was divided equally between Chu Youwei and Bai Xiaoya.
âSo when it comes to promotion and the like, Iâll be counting on everyone,â Zhou Mengmeng said as she bowed deeply to all present.
Then she added, âAs for my âDemon Queenâ identity, I hope everyone can help us keep it a secret for now.â
âIâll announce it when the movie is about to be released, which will have a better effect.â
Everyone agreed without objections.
So, Zhou Mengmeng immediately registered an account with both Quick Sound and Daily Headlines on the spot.
Jiang Xu had the staff give her a backdoor, verifying her information.
Now she could start accumulating fans.
Before revealing her real identity, she could launch a wave of negative public relations to set the rhythm.
It would lower everyoneâs expectations for the âDemon Queenâsâ real appearance.
Then, when her identity was finally revealed and she turned out to be a beautiful girl, the audience would feel an unexpected delight.
The effect, naturally, would be surprisingly good.
It is said that capitalists are scheming for a reason.
Unknowingly, Jiang Xu had picked up a bit of their cunning.
ââââââââââââ
âBang!â
Upon returning home, Zhao Wei smashed everything she could lay her eyes on.
Her expression was contorted.
Ever since she became famous, her career had been smooth sailing, and she had never been treated this way before.
She swore she would get her revenge!
Once she had calmed down a bit, Zhao Wei sat on the sofa, frowning as she pondered what form her revenge should take.
Too bad Jiang Xu was no ordinary man, and his wife was too beautiful.
Otherwise, she would have resorted to seduction.
She was still very young, with an impressive figure.
And most importantly, she knew a lot.
Just thinking about Jiang Xuâs handsome face and well-built body made Zhao Wei restless.
Some men were only worthy of staring, but a few men were worth more than a stare.
Jiang Xu was clearly among the latter.
She really wanted to play a game of âold hen catches the chickâ with him.
With that thought in mind, Zhao Wei felt like finding someone for herselfâ¦
She scrolled through her contacts and sent a message to someone.
Afterward, Zhao Wei began to research Jiang Xuâs company.
She decided to start with the shares of several companies under Jiang Xuâs banner to teach him a profound lesson.
She quickly chose her target.
ââââââââââââ
Back at home, An Nuonuo was staggering all over.
She had drunk some homemade sweet rice wine brought by Bai Xiaoya at the gathering.
Rice wine is deceptive, it seems mild but hits hard without a peep.
Jiang Xu carried An Nuonuo to bed.
She was already quite drowsy.
Today, An Nuonuo was wearing a white miniskirt with white stockings and white sneakers.
She was still as pure and lovely as when she was eighteen, intelligent and gentle, her charm radiating all around her, without much change.
Jiang Xu first removed her shoes, then slowly peeled off her stockings.
Suddenly, the girlâs delicate and slender legs were revealed before Jiang Xuâs eyes.
Her legs were like delicate jade carvings, exquisite and beautiful.
Lowering his gaze, he saw a pair of slender jade feet.
Her feet were long, tender, and beautiful, as finely crafted as beautiful jade, and could be described as if they were boneless.
Under the illumination of the light, the skin of her feet was translucent like jade, emitting a captivating luster.
Jiang Xuâs throat unconsciously moved up and down.
Even though he had seen them countless times.
But every time he did, he still couldnât contain himself.
Especially now, with An Nuonuo in such a half-drunk, half-awake state.
Occasional soft murmurs from her lips only made the ambiguous atmosphere in the room rise rapidly.
As the saying goes, thereâs an end to patience, and thereâs no need to endure any longer.
Jiang Xu embraced her in his arms.
In a daze, An Nuonuo murmured softly, âWhatâs wrong?â
Jiang Xu said with a smile, âIâm proficient in a hundred and eight knowledge points of âcuddle combat,â would you like to experience some?â
Half-drunk and half-awake, An Nuonuo couldnât quite hear what Jiang Xu was saying, and she gave a muddled response.
But soon, she became sober.
And so, An Nuonuo saw for herself Jiang Xuâs many years of hard-learned cursive scriptâ¦
As the saying goes, what enters at night isnât necessarily a dream, and what rises in the morning isnât necessarily the sun.
ââââââââ
In the morning, Jiang Xu woke up on time.
Turning his head, he saw An Nuonuo with her hair in disarray, her face seemingly still bearing traces of⦠cough, cough, cough.
Perhaps because it was summer, Jiang Xu always felt like he had endless energy.
He really wanted to plough the field.
Meanwhile, he also wanted to test out a few doubts.
Would the music stop after pulling out the car key?
What reaction would occur when water and sugar collide?
At nine oâclock in the morning.
Suddenly, the internet was flooded with news that Nuomi Novel, under Nuomi Group, had a massive amount of plagiarism and copyright infringement.
Not only that, they released a lot of evidence.
Many authors from other platforms also jumped out to denounce that their works had been plagiarized.
Of course, these things werenât placed on the Daily Headline or Swift Tune.
Because they knew it wouldnât make much of a splash even if they did.
âXiao Bai Videoâ saw a great opportunity to stir things up and immediately directed all traffic to this issue.
And added fuel to the fire.
Why is it that so many seemingly full of holes scams still fool many people?
Because there are just too many fools.
The same principle applies.
Many netizens donât have their own opinions and become pawns in the hands of others with just a slight nudging of the online rhythm.
The same thing was happening now.
Under some plausible but not really credible evidence, it quickly formed a wave of public opinion.
The most direct result was that as soon as the stock market opened at nine-thirty, the stock price of Nuomi Novel fell by about five percent.
In terms of current market value, it caused a loss of over a billion in an instant.
Liu Dahai called, âBoss, we found out, itâs Zhao Wei whoâs behind this.â
âHmm,â Jiang Xu responded indifferently, âDid you find her dirt?â
âSpeaking of which, itâs your good fortune and boundless blessings,â Liu Dahai lightly brown-nosed.
He then continued, âShe has an assistant who, during our investigation, voluntarily offered a piece of evidence.â
âThat assistant had been bullied by her for a long time, and the evidence collected is enough to get her behind bars.â
âGood job,â Jiang Xu said encouragingly, âIâll leave the rest to you.â
Just as he ended the call with Liu Dahai, Ally called in.
After answering, Jiang Xu showed an expression of surprise.
