I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Together_1

Dongyan Company, President´s Office.

Shen Dong was listening to Wang Jingpeng reporting on the situation.

"Mr. Shen, recently the Huya Guild invited stars from Le’an Film and Television to sell products through live streaming, which had a great effect. The sales revenue from live selling has already surpassed our guild. Should we also invite some celebrities?"

Dong Qikang presented the situation, then asked.

"Mr. Wang, if my estimates are correct, inviting celebrities to live stream for sales would greatly compress our profits, and the guild wouldn’t make much money. Moreover, inviting celebrities over could affect the interests of our guild´s live streamers, causing dissatisfaction among them. This would be a counterproductive move; I recommend against it," Shen Dong shared his point of view.

Shen Dong had noticed the Huya Guild´s move to invite celebrities for live selling and had analyzed it early on.

He believed it was not a viable strategy.

The Huya Guild, affected by the Song Qianqian incident, chose this path as a breakthrough, otherwise, they would definitely not have invited celebrities.

This was a move of last resort.

Sales revenue might have risen, but the profit was minimal. Once the celebrities left, it would be a mess.

Hearing Shen Dong´s words, Wang Jingpeng fell silent.

According to what he understood, it was indeed the case, with most of the income from live selling going to the celebrities.

Additionally, because celebrities were invited, the fans of other guild streamers flocked to the celebrities, greatly affecting the income of the streamers, with many expressing their dissatisfaction.

However, since the guild was powerful, the streamers dared not voice their concerns.

The decision to invite celebrities, indeed, was more trouble than it was worth.

"Mr. Shen, I understand, and I was merely inquiring for your advice. Now it seems, inviting celebrities is indeed inappropriate," Wang Jingpeng said.

"Mr. Wang, don’t just look at how fervently the Huya Guild´s live selling is performing. Have you noticed that many of the products they sell are off-brand?" Shen Dong asked.

"Indeed," Dong Qikang nodded, having also noticed this.

"Now that live selling is booming, many guilds are eager for quick success and quick profits, wanting to make a fast buck without strictly filtering their product choices. This approach is bound to cause issues sooner or later," Shen Dong said.

This was no joke.

As live selling enters a period of rapid development, some problems will start to emerge.

Issues with the products are just one of them.

Many guilds, in pursuit of higher commissions, are letting live streams sell fake and shoddy goods.

This practice, if not problematic now, is bound to lead to issues eventually.

"Mr. Shen, I understand. We really shouldn´t be making that kind of money; we need to strictly control our product quality," Wang Jingpeng stated earnestly.

Recently, with the Huya Guild doing so well, Wang Jingpeng’s mentality had become somewhat agitated.

Originally, he had considered lowering product quality standards, thinking that making money was the main objective, so why not earn a bit more?

Additionally, seeing the Huya Guild´s success with celebrities, he had wanted to invite celebrities too without giving it much thought.

Now, after hearing Shen Dong’s words, he knew he absolutely shouldn´t entertain such thoughts.

Instead, stable development was necessary for lasting success.

When other guilds faced troubles, only the Dongyan Guild that remained unscathed would still stand at the very top.

True gold is tested by fire.

Wang Jingpeng was not unaware of this principle, but sometimes it was difficult to stay clear-headed.

Having heard Shen Dong’s words, Wang Jingpeng came to his senses and knew what to do.

...

Evening.

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan arrived at Chen Yuanxiang’s house.

Chen Yuanxiang had returned from a business trip and, having not seen them for a long time, invited them for dinner at his home.

As soon as the door opened, the scent of food wafted out.

"It smells so good, like garlic spare ribs."

"Dad, Shen Dong and I are here,"

Following the aroma, Chen Yuyan ran towards the kitchen.

Upon reaching the kitchen door, she stopped dead in her tracks.

In the kitchen, Lin Shulei was wearing an apron and dishing spare ribs onto a plate, while Chen Yuanxiang was assisting by the side.

They looked the image of domestic bliss.

Seeing Chen Yuyan frozen in place, Shen Dong also approached the kitchen doorway and witnessed the scene.

"Dad, Mrs. Lin, you two..." Chen Yuyan’s eyes lit up, her face full of joy.

Chen Yuanxiang, holding Lin Shulei’s hand, said, "Yuyan, Xiaodong, we want to formally tell you that Shulei and I are together now."

Lin Shulei’s face turned red, and she said nothing.

"That’s great!" Chen Yuyan was very happy.

After a business trip together, Dad and Lin Shulei became a couple.

Dad’s relationship with Lin Shulei had entered into a second spring.

She believed that Chen Yuanxiang and Lin Shulei would be a happy couple.

Moreover, this completely cut off any hope that woman Feng Lijuan might have had.

Soon, the food was ready, and the four of them had a joyful meal together.

"Dad, Mrs. Lin, Shen Dong and I won’t disturb you anymore, we’ll be off now," Chen Yuyan said.

After the meal, Chen Yuyan took Shen Dong and left.

"This girl..." Chen Yuanxiang said with a wry smile and shook his head.

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan went downstairs.

Chen Yuyan said happily, "Husband, Dad and Mrs. Lin are together now, and you played the biggest part in this. I’ll give you a reward tonight."

Shen Dong’s eyebrows raised, "What kind of reward?"

Chen Yuyan winked, "It’s a secret for now, you’ll find out when we get home."

Shen Dong looked forward to it, "Okay."

If things went as expected, it would be something he had mentioned before.

...

Waking up in the morning.

The system alert echoed in Shen Dong’s mind.

[Ding! The box office for "I Am Not a Pharmacist" has reached 3.5 billion... The details have been sent to your email, please check it!]

Shen Dong immediately got up to check his email.

His eyes sparkled when he saw it.

This was another opportunity to make a fortune.

The email stated that director Wen Muye would start shooting "I Am Not a Pharmacist" in half a year, and he was currently writing the script.

The complete script for "I Am Not a Pharmacist" was already attached to the email.

Not only that, but it also listed the actors best suited for the roles.

He could go directly to Wen Muye with the script to get the film made.

Wen Muye was just a director he had found, a directing fee was enough, and he would make all the money himself.

Going to work, he arrived at Dongyan Company.

Shen Dong entered the break room and dialed Wen Muye’s phone number.

"Hello, is this Director Wen?"

Shen Dong had looked up information about Wen Muye beforehand and realized he was a director with no fame.

In college, he had made some short plays that received good reviews.

After graduating, he directed a web movie that had a decent reputation.

But since it was an art film, not many people knew about it, only a few artistic youths thought his web movie was good.

In short, Wen Muye was then an unknown director.

It was only after making "I am Not a Pharmacist" that Wen Muye became a sought-after director.

"Who is this?" Wen Muye asked.

"Director Wen, my name is Shen Dong, the owner of the Dongyan Guild," Shen Dong introduced himself.

"Are you the Shen Dong who invested in ’I Am Not a Pharmacist’?" Wen Muye asked in surprise.

As someone in the film industry, it was impossible not to have heard of Shen Dong.

The story of Wu Jin had spread not only throughout the film circle but also to the wider society.

It was Shen Dong’s investment in "The Battle Tiger" that allowed the film to be completed and enabled Wu Jin to achieve his current status.

One could say that Shen Dong was Wu Jin’s benefactor.
