354 The time is not right

It wasn't until someone shouted 'Brother Jun' that Director Jiang and the others finally snapped out of it.

It turned out they were all here for their own boss. He couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

This kind of treatment probably isn't even something a celebrity gets.

'Brother Jun, holy shit! Director Jiang? The videos online are real. Director Jiang really is filming in Hengdian, so Brother Jun must be here too.'

'Brother Jun!'

'Brother Jun!'

'Brother Jun!'

The cheers surged like waves, each one higher than the last!

Seeing this scene, the film crew was utterly shocked.

As for Director Jiang, in all his years in the industry, this was the first time he had witnessed such a spectacle. The boss's prestige was just too high.

He who wins the hearts of the people wins... ahem... well, that's a bit shocking, huh!

If this were in ancient times, their boss would probably be dead or at least severely punished, as emperors throughout history have always been most wary of this kind of thing.

Thinking this, he couldn't help but muse inwardly, 'Boss, the times have saved your life!'

However, what he didn't know was that if this were in ancient times, Wang Shaojun would definitely have uttered, 'May the Thunder God bless me!'

'Director Jiang, where's Brother Jun? Isn't Brother Jun filming in Hengdian?'

'Yeah, we came for Brother Jun. Of course, we're also here to see you, Director Jiang.'

Hearing this, Director Jiang thought to himself, 'Thanks a lot, you even remembered to consider my feelings.'

But then he thought of Wang Shaojun, the person he was being compared to, and immediately felt at ease.

'I know you're anxious, but don't be in such a hurry. The boss is taking a break today and isn't on set. As for where he is, I don't know either. Also, if the boss knew that Hengdian is currently packed to the brim, he definitely wouldn't come.

Because the entire Hengdian can't operate properly. There's nowhere to even film.'

If these were fans of some other celebrity, who would care about that? But they weren't chasing stars, and Wang Shaojun isn't a celebrity.

So they understood the reasoning clearly. Hearing Director Jiang's words, everyone immediately calmed down.

'Brothers, Director Jiang is right. We're already affecting the film crew's shooting schedule. Let's all leave voluntarily.'

'Right, we can't cause trouble for Brother Jun.'

They had come specifically for Wang Shaojun. Since he wasn't here, there was naturally no reason to stay any longer.

But before leaving, they still asked Director Jiang, 'Director Jiang, when will the drama be released?'

'Yeah, Director Jiang, work hard and rush it out. It'd be best if it's released during the New Year, so we have something to watch over the holidays.'

'666, aren't you watching the Spring Festival Gala during the New Year?'

'Uh... let's talk about that quietly later.'

Hearing this, Director Jiang couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and replied with a smile, 'I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you on that. We've only just started filming this drama. It definitely won't be released this year. Besides, the actors need to rest during the New Year too, right?'

Good grief, you're just throwing it out there without a care for our lives. Even if he filmed 24 hours a day, he couldn't finish it.

Even if he could finish filming, there's no way he could finish editing it.

But, to be honest, in all his years in the industry, this was the first time he had been urged by audiences in person to hurry up with filming.

Hearing this, everyone didn't say anything more. They just told him to speed up the progress and then retreated like a tide.

A long time later, looking at the now calm Hengdian, the film crew finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

And what happened here, Wang Shaojun saw while scrolling through TikTok.

Inside the Villa!

'Young Lord, ByteDance just called. They said they hope you can attend tomorrow's shareholders' meeting.'

Wang Shaojun, who was scrolling through TikTok, heard this and waved his hand dismissively. 'Let Zhongtian go in my place. I won't be attending.'

He hadn't even been to Heavenly Palace Group a few times, let alone ByteDance's shareholders' meeting.

'Understood, Young Lord. I'll notify President Yi right away.'

After Butler Wei left, Wang Shaojun turned his attention back to TikTok.

With a light swipe of his finger, a trending video came into view.

Looking at the title, he couldn't help but smile. These people move really fast. ByteDance just issued the announcement, and their stock price immediately hit the limit up.

He thought it was only the stock prices of Heavenly Palace Group's subsidiaries that had big fluctuations. Who would have thought that after opening the comments section, he'd see ByteDance's stock price also having a big swing.

'Can you believe it? I just checked. Not long after the announcement came out that Brother Jun became ByteDance's second-largest shareholder, ByteDance's stock price immediately rose, hard, by four points.'

'Holy shit, four points? It has to be Brother Jun. Even a behemoth like ByteDance can be pulled up like that.'

'Bullshit, go check again. It's almost eight points now. Too bad I don't have money to buy, otherwise I'd definitely buy some. Even though the price is high now, I believe in Brother Jun. He definitely won't let us down.'

'Don't, bro, don't get carried away. ByteDance isn't Yuanyang Group. Brother Jun only has ten percent of ByteDance's shares. Think about it. Whether it's Yuanyang Group, Tianmen, or Jiangong Group, the reason their market caps changed so much is because all three are controlled by Brother Jun. But ByteDance isn't.'

'Hiss~ I almost forgot about that. Thinking about it that way, it does make some sense. If ByteDance were also controlled by Brother Jun, ByteDance would probably have taken off by now. How could it only be up eight points?'

'So, Brother Jun is the key.'

'Damn, good thing I didn't buy. I almost threw my entire life savings into it.'

'Actually, if you bought, don't be afraid. It's definitely hard for it to fall, unless someone maliciously shorts it. But for those who haven't bought, I advise you to hold off for now. We can only wait... wait for an opportunity.'

'Bro, what do you mean? Do you have some insider info? Spill it. I still have two million on hand, and I'm worried about where to put it. Too bad I can't buy into Heavenly Palace Group's listed subsidiaries yet, otherwise I'd close my eyes and go all in.'

'Don't ask me, I don't know either. But I have a feeling that a company under Heavenly Palace Group will go public soon. Disclaimer: this is just my personal feeling, not any investment advice.'

Looking at these comments, Wang Shaojun had to admit, some people's sixth sense is terrifyingly strong.

Because he really did want to take Heavenly Palace Media public, but it's still too early.

After thinking it over, he realized he hadn't appeared on domestic TikTok in a long time.

He couldn't help but reply to that person's comment with four words: The Time Is Not Yet Ripe!

He didn't know what a huge uproar those four words would cause later.

After his comment appeared, it didn't take long for the entire comments section to instantly boil over.

Especially the netizen who was replied to. Seeing that it was really Wang Shaojun, he immediately became so excited he was dancing around.

'Brother Jun? Holy shit, checked the profile, it's really Brother Jun himself. Damn~ Genius Youth Xiao Huohuo, you're about to blow up. Brother Jun actually responded to your comment.'

Although Wang Shaojun often appears on TikTok, he rarely comments under videos, let alone responds to a comment.
