Chapter 179: Chapter 179 When Will This End_1

That day, Shen Dong got off work and headed home.

On the way, he said, "Wife, tomorrow is Wang Xiaocong’s birthday, and I’ll take you with me to the birthday party he’s throwing."

Chen Yuyan’s eyes widened in shock, "Husband, you know Wang Xiaocong?"

Wang Xiaocong was the son of the richest man, a top domestic second-generation rich kid.

Even though Shen Dong’s business had already developed very well, she had never imagined there would be an opportunity to meet Wang Xiaocong.

Now hearing her husband say he’s taking her to Wang Xiaocong’s birthday party, how could she not be surprised?

"I don’t know him, but he took the initiative to call and invite me," Shen Dong said with a smile.

"Why would he take the initiative to invite you to his birthday party?" Chen Yuyan was somewhat puzzled.

"Didn’t I invest in the making of ’I’m Not a Pharmacist’? He called to ask for some investment quota, probably to thank me, and also, I’m a shareholder in Qianda Film and Television, that might be another reason he invited me."

He had already mentioned investing in the making of ’I’m Not a Pharmacist’ to Chen Yuyan.

He had nothing to hide from Chen Yuyan.

"Husband, I really didn’t expect that one day we would get involved with Wang Xiaocong," Chen Yuyan said with a laugh.

Just then, Shen Dong’s phone rang. It was Zhu Zhiyong calling, so he answered.

"Mr. Shen, the collaboration between Jiahua Film and Television and Dongyan Guild has had surprisingly good results. I’ve noticed that Dongyan Guild’s sales in the past few days have been half higher than before," said Zhu Zhiyong.

"Indeed, your company’s stars not only increased their exposure but also made some money. With this collaboration, you definitely made a big profit," Shen Dong said with a laugh.

"Mr. Shen, our partnership is a win-win situation, win-win, haha," Zhu Zhiyong laughed heartily.

Initially, Shen Dong only offered him a twenty percent profit share, which he was slightly bothered by.

But now, that bother had evaporated into thin air.

The stars under his company’s banner saw their commercial value rise after being exposed through Dongyan Guild.

A few artists, who were just starting out and not very famous, considered as eighth-tier stars, became rapidly famous after being promoted by Dongyan Guild, now with the popularity akin to second-tier stars.

It could be said that these people became famous.

With just a bit more cultivation, they could definitely rise to the ranks of top-tier stars.

The Dongyan Guild was practically a star-making factory.

As Shen Dong had said, Jiahua Film and Television really made a hefty profit this time.

"Mr. Zhu, you didn’t call just to tell me this, did you?" Shen Dong asked.

"Haha, indeed, there’s another matter. You see, I heard you invested in a movie called ’I’m Not a Pharmacist’, which you’ve written and hired Xu Zheng to direct. Do you still have investment quota available for this movie?" Zhu Zhiyong inquired.

"Mr. Zhu, how much investment quota are you looking for?" Shen Dong asked with a smile.

Shen Dong wasn’t at all surprised that Zhu Zhiyong knew about this.

Zhu Zhiyong was a big shot in the film and television industry, and it was very easy for him to know of any slight stir within the industry.

Xu Zheng was a well-known director. The news of him shooting a new film was something industry magnates would definitely be aware of.

"Naturally, I’ll take as much as you give," Zhu Zhiyong said with a laugh.

From what Shen Dong implied, Zhu Zhiyong knew there was a chance and that there was quota left.

He didn’t specify an amount but let Shen Dong offer instead, which was better.

Otherwise, saying too much or too little would be inappropriate.

"I’m taking fifty percent of the investment quota for this movie. The rest, half of it, is for other investors. Considering we are old friends now, and our companies are collaborating, I’ll give you ten percent," Shen Dong said after some thought, deciding to give Zhu Zhiyong a ten percent share.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen," Zhu Zhiyong expressed his joy.

Shen Dong, occupying half of the investment on his own and offering ten percent to him, was already very generous.

It must be in consideration of the recent collaboration between their companies.

After a brief exchange, they ended the call.

"Zhu Zhiyong is really something," said Chen Yuyan.

Not long ago, because of the investment issues with The Battle Tiger 2, my husband and Zhu Zhiyong fought fiercely against each other.

Under Jiahua Film and Television, several stars were ruined.

It’s fair to say that Jiahua Film and Television suffered heavy losses from that battle.

Zhu Zhiyong lowered his head only when he had no other choice.

Chen Yuyan thought the man would hold a grudge against her husband.

Unexpectedly, he put aside his grievances, sincerely apologized, and even sought to collaborate with the Dongyan Guild.

Now he’s even calling my husband to discuss co-investing in a film.

It has to be said that Zhu Zhiyong is flexible; he really is a character.

"At that level of bigwig, it’s all about interests; all those unpleasant incidences are set aside in the face of great benefits," Shen Dong laughed.

...

Saturday.

Five o’clock in the afternoon.

Chen Yuting put on a snowy white evening gown and high heels, stepped out of the bedroom, and said to Feng Lijuan, who was watching TV in the living room, "Mom, I won’t be home for dinner tonight. You’ll have to eat alone."

Feng Lijuan, seeing her daughter dressed so beautifully, couldn’t help but ask, "Where are you going?"

Chen Yuting replied, "I’m going to a birthday party."

Feng Lijuan asked, "Whose birthday party is so formal that you have to wear a gown?"

Chen Yuting pursed her lips, "Wang Xiaocong’s."

"Wang Xiaocong?" Feng Lijuan was stunned and then excitedly said, "Yuting, could it be that Wang Xiaocong is pursuing you?"

If Wang Xiaocong was pursuing Chen Yuting, then she must agree.

If Chen Yuting married Wang Xiaocong, then she would be his mother-in-law.

The thought of being the mother-in-law to the son of the richest man was thrilling.

That would be a thousand times better than Chen Yuting marrying Liu Chao.

There was simply no comparison between Liu Chao and Wang Xiaocong.

"Mom, you’re thinking too much. It’s Liu Chao who’s taking me to Wang Xiaocong’s birthday party," said Chen Yuting, somewhat speechless.

Her mother’s opportunistic nature really was ingrained in her.

It showed without her even trying.

Knowing that Liu Chao was pursuing her, as soon as she heard about going to Wang Xiaocong’s birthday party, she completely forgot about Liu Chao and jumped to the idea that Wang Xiaocong was pursuing her.

"I see," Feng Lijuan was somewhat disappointed but quickly adjusted, "Never mind, you’re so beautiful, maybe the moment Wang Xiaocong sees you, he’ll fall in love with you. Don’t reject him when that happens."

"Mom, I’m not talking to you about this anymore, I’m leaving," Chen Yuting said, unwilling to continue the ridiculous conversation with her mother.

"All right, go ahead. If you get the chance, make sure to seize it," Feng Lijuan still gave a word of advice.

Watching Chen Yuting leave, Feng Lijuan sighed.

Lately, she was always looking for ways to reconcile with Chen Yuanxiang, calling him every day.

But Chen Yuanxiang simply wouldn’t give her the time of day and had even blacklisted her number.

She thought about showing up at his door again but decided against it.

If she went, it would probably only make Chen Yuanxiang more antagonistic.

She really couldn’t think of any good ways to reconcile with Chen Yuanxiang.

Without reconciling with Chen Yuanxiang, she couldn’t become Shen Dong’s mother-in-law and couldn’t live the life she wanted.

Her daughter Chen Yuting was also reluctant to be Liu Chao’s girlfriend.

When would her current life ever end?
