Chapter 1001 - You’re Already By My Side

What was even stranger was that tthey had no name or profile picture. Clearly, the rankings had only collected their company’s performance and personal wealth indicators, but they had not obtained authorization for the name or profile picture.

This made them seem even more mysterious and unapproachable.

After everyone found it strange, they looked at Fu Xiuyuan’s expression.

An extremely gentle smile appeared on Fu Xiuyuan’s face. It was unknown what he had seen.

“I’ll keep this.” Fu Xiuyuan put it away and stood up to leave.

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, wondering why he thought so highly of this thing. In the past, he hadn’t even looked at it.

After the Forbes rankings were released this year, the outside world was also curious about who was in second place.

Master Fu, who was in first place, had finally appeared in front of everyone because he was Shi Jin’s husband. Everyone already knew what he looked like. However, this second place was too amazing. There was no name or photo. It was difficult to guess who it was.

Some people guessed that they might be a descendant of a noble from the royal family in Europe. Now that they were back in charge of the family, they had brought the family to a new peak.

There were also people who said that they should be a young talent from Country S. They were definitely a new rising youth. Their status was not much different from Fu Xiuyuan’s.

However, there were also people who said that this person must be of a certain age, so they were unwilling to show off. They only wanted to keep a low profile, unlike those young people who wanted to show off when they encountered trouble.

Anyway, there were all kinds of theories, one after another.

In Shi Jin’s room, she held the form Fu Xiuyuan had given her and burst out laughing.

“So, my company’s performance is already ranked second?” She was in disbelief. “Logically speaking, whether it’s Second Master Qiao or my brother, their company’s performance is wider and more profitable than mine. Can I actually surpass them?”

“Although they also make money, they are in a single industry after all. As for you, you are now standing on the trend of the times. Be it games or movies, they are the most prosperous industries in recent years. As for the pharmaceutical industry, it is a stable industry that helps you develop steadily.”

Shi Jin nodded and finally understood this fact.

She tilted her head back. “Honey, it doesn’t really matter how much money I make. What matters is that it proves that I can do these things. More importantly, it turns out I’m capable of standing by your side on my own.”

Fu Xiuyuan looked down at her. “You were already standing beside me.”

“At the time, it wasn’t enough. Now I’m confident enough.”

“Then what can I use to match such a good you?” Fu Xiuyuan held her in his arms, his voice low and loving.

She rested her chin on his shoulder. “It’s who you are at this moment the best you can be.”

Shi Jin’s life after being married into a wealthy family was actually no different from hers in the past, but the outside world still liked to keep an eye on her.

It was probably because they were all full of gossip. Many people did not think highly of female celebrities who married into wealthy families.

The wealthy families in everyone’s imagination were more related to strictness, rules, and family difficulties.

And female artistes did not seem to have much advantage in terms of reputation.

Naturally, there were still many people who laughed at Shi Jin.

However, the outside world really could not dig out any effective information to confirm if she was doing well.

They just knew that she’s been going to Europe quite a bit in the last two months.

Someone in Europe had taken photos of her frequently appearing at the entrance of a large pharmaceutical factory, and that pharmaceutical factory did not belong to Fu Xiuyuan or Gu Jingyuan.

Someone else had photographed her at the entrance of a large gaming company.

Rumors gradually spread.

Rumors said that Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan’s relationship was not stable. It could be seen from how simple their marriage was without even a wedding.

Then, some people said that Shi Jin wanted to use the advantage of her current youth and beauty to hurry up and find a new replacement. She had already entered the dating stage.

Someone said that Shi Jin’s new date was the second richest person on the list.

Someone couldn’t help but be envious. “It’s really good to be beautiful. You can easily choose a date, and they’re all elites.”

“Although the second place is an elite, he might not be young. Maybe he’s an old man in his sixties?”

“That’s true, but Shi Jin has experienced a top-notch man like Fu Xiuyuan. Can she like anything else?”

“Being handsome can’t feed you. Although some people aren’t good-looking, they dote on others and are very capable. This might not be bad.”

These were all groundless stories, but these people were discussing them more and more.

Artists were always like that. They always sacrificed a lot of personal privacy for their work and this identity.

Yao Jiahong still reported this to Shi Jin.

“If this matter blows up, it won’t be good for you and Master Fu. Look…”

“Then let’s reveal the rankings.”

Shi Jin did not want to make it public, but if she was slandered, she could only make it public.

“Okay.”

While these rumors were rife, names and photographs appeared on the Forbes Fortune List. No more mysteries.

However, after coming out, it was also very surprising!

Because this was someone no one had imagined anyway—Shi Jin!

At first, someone left a message for the organization that issued the authoritative list, asking if they had made a mistake. The answer they received was affirmative and firm. “No, this is the final effective list.”

Everyone was shocked to discover that the pharmaceutical company in Europe was under Shi Jin’s name!

That gaming company was also in her name.

The most profitable video broadcasting platform in the country, Time TV, was not only under Shi Jin’s name, but also established by her!

Therefore, it didn’t matter if she went to Europe or the gaming company. She wasn’t going on a date or anything. She was just going to take a look at her company!

The rumors collapsed on their own. Those who were jealous could only become even more jealous. This was because they wanted to see a lively joke in a wealthy family, but instead they saw the strong combination of Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan.

They also saw that Shi Jin had not fallen behind in any of her careers in the past few years.

She had gained far more than she let on.

Winter was coming.

The sky gradually darkened. The afternoon always passed quickly, and night fell early.

Soon it would be the end of the year. The filming of the movie that Shi Jin and Director Ji had collaborated on was coming to an end.

Tomorrow was the last day of the year, as well as the last day of the movie shoot.
