Chapter 569: Two Men Licking Each Other's Wounds

Zheng Qian had been living quite happily these past few days.

It was just tough on Jin Lu... and the others.

Ever since Zheng Qian had strengthened his muscular weaponry, his combat effectiveness had skyrocketed. Usually, the room would echo with the singing of fairies, but often, just as the spell-casting animation began, it would be interrupted, forcing them into a passive state of silent enjoyment.

How should one put it? To summarize it in one phrase: painful yet pleasurable.

Every day, watching Song Yaxian, who was nourished by love, Song Qingli found it hard to express her own suffering. Was the charm of love really that great? It allowed Song Yaxian to pursue an indescribable joy amidst the pain. It made her sigh involuntarily— "Oh, big sister, I also really want to taste the bitterness of love."

It was a pity that Song Qingli dared not say this to Song Yaxian, so she could only write this log in her QQ Zone. Hmm, the log was still in private mode, the kind that only she could see. She thought that in this day and age, surely no one would click on others' spaces to browse, right? Even if they did, it wouldn't matter; this was, after all, her private log.

But what she didn't expect was that this log would later cause a series of disturbances.

We shall leave that aside for now.

Once Favorability reached 100, cashback was no longer possible. Jin Lu was at 101, so naturally, it was impossible to grind money through her. But it didn't matter; Zheng Qian had Wei Rusi, the little financial genius, so these problems were naturally not problems at all.

The simplest method was to dump money into the bank.

Because the bank was under Wei Rusi's name, Zheng Qian had only opened a dedicated account with the highest authorization within the bank.

He could transfer these funds to invest in Jin Lu at any time, which also counted as spending money on her. Then, through Jin Lu, he could invest in the Chunshen Club and other businesses in the name of Qianlu Bank... Therefore, keeping Wei Rusi's Favorability below 100 was the key.

Fortunately, he soon discovered the "crux" of Wei Rusi.

Of course, Zheng Qian couldn't bring himself to make Wei Rusi insanely sad to lower her Favorability.

It was strange to say, but her Favorability had never even reached 99 at most. It was at most 98 points.

Unless she experienced a "great satisfaction," the Favorability would suddenly surge to 98 and then drop. Zheng Qian suspected whether Wei Rusi, like men, had a "sage mode," where she would feel guilty once it was over. Basically, it stayed between 90-95, very stable.

Most of the other girls were the same; there was never any sign of their Favorability reaching 100.

While this made things convenient for Zheng Qian, he also wondered if he wasn't doing well enough somewhere.

Then again, after a few days of fermentation, the entire Shanghu began to brew with a depressing, treacherous atmosphere. And the instigator of the whole incident was, naturally, Zheng Qian. Many people hated him so much that their teeth itched.

[Bang—!]

In the chairman's office of Xingsheng Entertainment, the desk emitted a deafening sound.

Yu Shanghen's hands were trembling slightly, his whole body shivering with anger.

Looking at the financial report sent by his secretary, he was already feeling unwell.

"Stardust Entertainment... Stardust Entertainment... Stardust Entertainment... it's all fucking Stardust Entertainment! And what kind of bullshit Youmeng Pictures and Glory Star City Entertainment are those! Damn it, is this Chunshen Club for real? The scale is expanding so fast???"

"Did that guy called Zheng Qian really dump so much money into it?" Yu Shanghen pinched his exhausted forehead, his face full of gloom and vicissitudes.

For so many years, because he had the background of studying in the United States, he had taken out his entire savings of 500 yuan, plus the 200 million given by his father, and finally scraped together over 200 million in startup capital to start his business.

He had done it successfully and gradually became a giant in the domestic film and entertainment industry, with a total of 450 IMAX screens.

Now, whose movie could be released without looking at his face? Yu Shanghen might not be considered one of the top few in the country, but he was definitely a big shot who could not be ignored.

But recently... Youmeng Pictures and Glory Star City Entertainment from the Chunshen Club had been accumulating strength and were now starting to lay out a wide range of plans across the country, expanding crazily. In addition to directly opening their own cinemas, they were also aggressively acquiring other local cinemas, and their scale was expanding extremely fast.

The Shanghai Americas Club had just formulated a new profit distribution plan.

Originally, Yu Shanghen had been thinking that with sufficient funds in hand, he could fully flex his muscles. The number of screens was about right, and he had established a film and television department long ago. There were many new film shooting and release plans for this year, and he thought he could have a small boom, but facing this situation, he really had a headache.

The reason was simple: they had been offering "half-price movies" for half a month.

It was said to be half-price, but in reality, with various discount activities, it was possible to watch movies at 30% or even 20% of the price.

In the previous years, the global economic environment had been poor, and it was inconvenient for people to go out to watch movies. He had barely managed to survive with the support of the club, but he didn't expect! He really didn't expect it! How did such a freak suddenly appear?

He looked at the financial statement, his hands trembling.

Behind these newly risen insurgent groups was a common shadow—the Stardust Entertainment Fund.

As an insider, he naturally knew that this was a foundation Zheng Qian had specifically established for Yin Yanyan.

"Old Yu, don't be so agitated; I'm even more worried than you." Tang Chuanyan's face was full of bitterness, shaking his head and sighing repeatedly, "Our Xingtu Group is not having a good time either. You know that after the young master united many funding parties to inject capital into me, we were basically about to unify the domestic shipping industry. Just that Jiang Yanran is gritting her teeth and holding on, and now..."

"Damn it, at least you are facing half-price movies, I am dealing with 1-dollar shipping! 1 dollar!!" Tang Chuanyan's entire body was shaking crazily.

His face was extremely distorted; even Yu Shanghen almost vomited at a glance. How could a human face make such an abstract expression?

"Damn it, I don't know where they suddenly got so many ships! Every day, it's like dumplings being dropped into their docks. I'm really about to collapse. 1 dollar! It only costs 1 dollar to fill a ship!"

"Even the ropes on my cargo ships cost one hundred thousand! The ropes alone cost one hundred thousand, but he only charges... to transport goods." By the end, Tang Chuanyan felt his heart was about to stop beating.

"Alright, shut up; I know about the 1 dollar." Yu Shanghen closed his eyes and pondered for a long time.

A moment later, he sighed deeply.

He slowly opened his eyes, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "It seems now that their money is like a bottomless pit, as if it can never be burned out; it is truly terrifying. We must find the young master to think of a solution; if this continues, we are all on a dead end."
