155: Chapter 156 Versailles

"His father, President Wang, should have already told him the news that Qianda Film has changed ownership. He is very eager to visit you now, his attitude is very sincere, saying he is following his father's orders to build a good relationship with the new boss. He asked if it's convenient for me to make an introduction. What do you think...?"

She explained the situation and fully respected Jiang Jing's opinion, handing the decision-making power entirely to him.

This is the way of the world.

Jiang Jing was holding a piece of jam-smeared bread, preparing to tease Leng Ba. Hearing this, his movements paused, and a look of realization appeared on his face.

Acquiring a major event like Qianda Film, it was normal for President Wang to communicate with his son. It made sense for Wang Congcong to want to come and get acquainted.

He didn't have a bad impression of this internet-famous second-generation rich kid known as the "Entertainment Industry Disciplinary Committee". At the very least, he was more authentic than many hypocritical people, so meeting him wouldn't hurt.

He nodded, his tone casual: "Sure, let him come over."

His straightforwardness made Da Mimi breathe a sigh of relief. She said to Wang Congcong on the other end of the phone: "Alright, President Jiang has agreed. I'll send you the address, just come over directly."

"Got it! Thanks, Sister Mi! Be there soon!" Wang Congcong's voice was full of joy, and he hung up immediately.

Da Mimi put down her phone and looked at the sisters on the table who were looking at her curiously, especially Leng Ba, who was still in a daze, and Tong Liya and Nazha, whose eyes were flashing with shrewd light.

She let out a soft breath and said in a tone mixed with amazement and teasing: "Sisters, Principal Wang is coming to visit us in person."

"What?!"

"Principal Wang? Why is he coming?" Nazha was the first to ask, her beautiful eyes full of confusion. "And how does he know we are here? He even specifically asked to see President Jiang?"

Although their gathering this time couldn't be called top secret, not many people knew about it. Wang Congcong's information was a bit too well-informed.

Zhu Xudan and Li Xibing also looked at each other, obviously not understanding why this young rich man from the Imperial Capital was suddenly so enthusiastic.

Leng Ba blinked her big eyes, looking innocent.

Only Tong Liya shifted her gaze between Da Mimi and Jiang Jing, seemingly having caught something, but she didn't expose it. She just elegantly picked up her juice glass, took a light sip, and waited for what was to come.

Da Mimi didn't answer the sisters' questions immediately. Instead, she first cast an inquiring look at Jiang Jing, tilting her head slightly, asking silently with her eyes: Can I say it?

Although she had all sorts of "predatory" intentions towards Jiang Jing in private and even took the initiative, when it came to serious business, especially involving business secrets and capital operations of this level, her sense of propriety was excellent.

Having been in the entertainment and capital circles for so many years, she knew too well what to ask, what not to ask, what could be said, and what had to be kept secret.

At this moment, her first consideration was Jiang Jing's wishes and interests.

Jiang Jing saw her look and shrugged indifferently.

Having received Jiang Jing's approval, Da Mimi felt at ease, her red lips curving into a mysterious and playful smile.

She deliberately sat back in her chair slowly, picked up a napkin to wipe the corners of her mouth, whetting everyone's appetite.

"Sister Mi! Just tell us! What exactly is going on?" Nazha couldn't help but urge, her curiosity completely piqued.

"Exactly, stop keeping us in suspense!" Zhu Xudan echoed.

Leng Ba was even more anxious, directly grabbing Da Mimi's arm and shaking it: "Sister Mi~ tell me quickly!"

Seeing the anxious appearance of the sisters, Da Mimi laughed with satisfaction and threw out the answer:

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you. Just now, Wang Congcong said on the phone — their family has sold all their shares of Qianda Film to President Jiang. It was just yesterday, the paperwork is all done."

"??!"

"Qianda Film? All the shares?!"

"Acquired by President Jiang?!"

Exclamations rose one after another. The women's eyes widened instantly, their faces full of disbelief.

They were not naive flowers like Leng Ba who were dull about business.

As actresses, they knew too well what Qianda Film meant! It was a heavyweight in the domestic cinema chain, controlling thousands of screens, influencing the scheduling and promotion of countless films.

Many of the films they made eventually had to deal with the Qianda cinema chain. The box office results largely depended on how many screenings and prime time slots the other party could give.

It could be said that Qianda Film was a behemoth with immense power in the entertainment industry, representing one of the capital and platform forces.

And now, this behemoth had quietly, overnight, changed its surname to Jiang?!

This meant that Jiang Jing's reach had extended directly from one product field to control a core lifeline of the entertainment industry!

The women's gazes focused on Jiang Jing again, but this time, the emotions within them were countless times more complex.

There was shock, horror, deep admiration, awe of massive capital, and even... the admiration and covetousness that some of them already had became even more intense and determined.

In their hearts, they not only wanted Jiang Jing's beauty serum, but in the future, they also wanted to be in films strongly supported by the cinema chain under his banner!

This was no longer just simple "sucking up"; it was a deeper level of attachment and desire related to their career prospects.

"President Jiang... you... you are too amazing!" Li Xibing was the first to react, her tone full of amazement and worship. "You did such a big thing without making a sound!"

"My god, Qianda Film... you bought it just like that?" Nazha covered her mouth, looking at Jiang Jing as if looking at a myth. "President Jiang, how many more surprises do you have that we don't know about?"

Zhu Xudan also nodded repeatedly, her tone ingratiating: "In the future, our film scheduling will all depend on President Jiang's care!"

Even Leng Ba opened her mouth in delayed realization, staring blankly at Jiang Jing, but the admiration in her eyes was no less than anyone else's.

Although Tong Liya had a premonition, after confirming it with her own ears, her heart was still surging. She looked at Jiang Jing, her eyes shimmering, with a gentle but indescribably complex emotion, and said softly: "President Jiang is truly... unfathomable. This level of capability and boldness is something one cannot help but admire."

Facing the women's gazes and words of amazement, worship, admiration, or ingratiation, Jiang Jing just finished the last bite of melon unhurriedly, picked up a napkin to wipe his hands, and then said in an extremely "Versailles" tone, dismissively:

"Oh, Qianda Film? I bought it on a whim yesterday. It's a small matter, not worth mentioning. Old Wang was in a hurry to pay off debts, and the price was quite reasonable."

The women: "..."

In an instant, the expressions on the women's faces stiffened.

Da Mimi couldn't help but roll her eyes and chided irritably: "Versailles!"

Nazha was also between laughter and tears, and Zhu Xudan and Li Xibing nodded in agreement.
