Lin Jiali raged on. (I’m so pissed! How is this possible! I’m not asking you to fight for me, but just expose him on the Find Me App and ruin him!]
Su Yang replied. (Sister, don’t think like that. Maybe the owner of the Find Me App is also your future boss]
Lin Jiali replied. (Sigh… I’m so irritated. Why did the boss change right now! I haven’t signed the contract for my new movie yet! Now, the company changed bosses and won’t sign it, and the producer keeps pushing me! I’m planning to overpower Han Yi with this drama! How annoying!)
Su Yang is now convinced that the system evaluated Lin Jiali as being a little depressed.
‘Feels like this comedian is schizophrenic, let alone being depressed.’
He said, [Don’t worry. I’m sure it’ll be fine. By my count, the contract should be settled tomorrow.]
Lin Jiali replied, (Really? Are you a fortune teller?]
Su Yang didn’t feel guilty in the slightest. [I must be. I’m not going to be able to do anything about it.]
Lin Jiali replied with a sticker of a cat lying on the ground while waving two glowsticks around in a celebratory manner.
After a while, Su Yang still hadn’t replied her so she sent another message. (Su Yang, you’re such a great fan. I feel so much happier every time I talk to you! Thank you.]
Su Yang responded. [It’s fine. Think about how you’re going to repay me.]
After half a minute, Lin Jiali replied, (I’ll mail you an autographed photo of me. Hehe, isn’t that a surprise? And I can leave you a lip print on it.) ‘What a surprise! Why do I need your autographed photo? I’m a fake fan!’ ‘Besides, I’m your boss! I can have as many autographed photos as I want!’
‘Can’t I get some actual physical form of gratitude! Like, it’s late at night… Please have some food. Things like that.’
As he mumbled inwardly, Su Yang took a look at the information Wang Dong sent to him from his phone, found the phone number of the general manager of that artist agency, Tan Mei, and dialed it.
“Beep beep…” A few tones later, a slightly mature female voice came from the other end of the phone, “Hello? May I ask who this is?”
He replied, “I’m Su Yang.”
The woman on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment. “Oh-oh, you’re our new boss, right?” Su Yang said, “Right. The company’s ownership has been transferred to me so I’ll be your new boss from now on.”
After hearing Su Yang’s introduction, Tan Mei became much more enthusiastic. She asked, “Do you have any instructions for me, Mr. Su?”
Su Yang replied, “No, I don’t. I’m just informing you about the change. Although our company’s shareholding has changed, the company will still run as usual. Your positions will remain. All business activities and artist arrangements shouldn’t be affected as well.”
Tan Mei answered affirmatively, “Alright.” Su Yang added, “Also, I don’t want the change in the company’s shareholding to cause panic among the artists. So, I’ll need your help to appease them, Miss Tan. The two main artists of our company, Luo Yi and Lin Jiali, should be well pacified. If they have any plans or arrangements in the short term, just execute them accordingly.”
Su Yang paused. “I’ll drop by the company next month so I hope that there won’t be any problems in the company this month.”
Tan Mei replied monotonously, “Please don’t worry Mr. Su, there won’t be any surprises.”
Next, Su Yang chatted with Tan Mei for a while more. Then, he encouraged and reassured her before hanging up the phone.
Clack.
After Tan Mei hung up the phone, she copied Su Yang’s number and sent it to a WeChat friend.
The friend’s name was Secretary Bai, and their avatar was a professional photo of the beautiful female secretary Ying Shao that Su Yang had seen.
Tan Mei sent a message. (Secretary Bai, is this our new boss’s number?]
After a while, Secretary Bai replied, (Yes.)
After another moment, Secretary Bai sent another message. (General Manager Su’s background is not simple, and General Manager Ying treats him differently. He’s very interested in the film and television industry, so you guys give it your best shot.]
Tan Mei reverted. [Thank you.)
The chat ended and as she looked at the screen, Tan Mei contemplated. The new boss has background and strength, so shouldn’t I try harder? After all these years of hibernation, it feels like these bones are getting rusty.
‘No matter, let’s take a look first. After all, the big boss has spoken, so it’s fine if we continue with the usual operations.’
It wasn’t that she was deliberately holding back the contracts before, but she was also responsible for her artists. There were too many companies where the new bosses would begin a huge overhaul on the original team and operations after they were taken over. If they intentionally walked away from her contracts when she knew the bosses were going to change, the artists would be even more embarrassed when the new bosses cut off those contracts and projects.
Of course, now that Su Yang has spoken, going on their day as usual was alright.
Meanwhile, Su Yang got off the subway and headed to the neighborhood.
As his company grew bigger and bigger, he had a deeper and deeper understanding of people’s hearts, power, and wealth with more and more people under him. He believed that with one phone call from him, what Lin Jiali was worried about would no longer be a thing
He couldn’t help but remember how, he was a poor student who had earned his first bucket of gold by organizing Han Yi’s fans three months ago. The only thing was, he didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, a few months had passed and he was already a person who could influence the lives of third-tier stars just by raising his hand.
Stepping back into the neighborhood at night, [Heaven’s Eye) alerted him that someone was watching him. Su Yang was in awe. ‘Was it that mysterious person again?’
He walked forward slowly, observing the person through his (Perception).
That person was a bit different from the previous two days. He wore sunglasses and a mask, hid behind a tree, and was carefully staring at Su Yang as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Su Yang contacted Deeny.
Su Yang whispered to Deeny through the bone conduction headset, “There’s someone watching me under a tree about 120 degrees to the left outside the cell, features a mask and sunglasses. I’ll throw you around a corner in a minute, and you get Janet to come out and get him.”
Little Deeny replied, “Yes, Master.” Taking a few steps forward, Su Yang casually tossed the phone into the flower bed.
Then he went home as if nothing had happened.
Five minutes later, there was a knock on the basement door.
Su Yang opened the door, and Janet came to the basement with a man in her arms.
He opened the door and motioned for him to come in.
Su Yang closed the door, took off the man’s mask and sunglasses, carefully examined him and found that the person in front of him looked familiar. Su Yang seemed to have seen him somewhere before.
He searched his memory and suddenly remembered that this was… The security guard who stopped him in Longteng Jiayuan! That’s the security guard Sixth Liu was smiling with, Brother Wang! Su Yang took a cup of water and poured it on his face when suddenly, Brother Wang woke up from his unconsciousness.
When he saw Su Yang, he stood up immediately and wanted to fight back. However, as soon as he raised his hand, Janet, who was standing next to Su Yang, took a step forward and kicked him in the stomach.
Wang yelped and fell to the ground, hands holding his stomach.
Janet then stepped forward and held him down.
Wang tried to struggle on the ground, but before Janet’s power, he was like a kitten that couldn’t move, humiliated on the ground.
Su Yang walked up to him and brought his face to his own, “Why are you spying on me?”
Brother Wang had a harmless expression on his face. “I’m not spying on you, I’m just passing by.”
With (Heaven’s Eye) on, Su Yang wasn’t surprised to see that Brother Wang was lying despite his best attempt to look natural.
Su Yang stepped on his finger hard and asked again, “Why are you spying on me?”
Brother Wang had some cold sweat running down his face as he endured the pain but still maintained his position. “I’m not spying on you.”
Su Yang laughed. “You made me do this.”
Saying that, he spread out his hands and whispered, “Dagger Girl.”
Suddenly, Dagger Girl disappeared from the virtual space and appeared in Su Yang’s hand, only now, she was completely invisible.
Su Yang muttered, “It’s incredibly sharp, y’know?” Then, a flicker of light appeared and before Brother Wang could react, the cup next to him had been cut in half. The cut was also exceptionally clean.
Brother Wang’s eyes bulged, his face full of fear.
Su Yang put his hand closer to Brother Wang’s hand. As Su Yang approached, he felt a slight chill on his hand that made him sweat on the back of his hands.
He gulped down his saliva, his face sweating more and more.
Finally, he relented. “I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you!”
However, Su Yang merely laughed and pressed down on his hand.
“Ah!” A shriek was heard, and he was on the verge of passing out from the pain! He felt like all five of his fingers had been cut off. Blood was flowing, and his five fingers were almost at the limit of what he could endure.
Su Yang’s demonic murmur was once again heard in his ears, “Why spy on me?” Brother Wang didn’t dare to slip up this time so he immediately replied, “It’s our supervisor! Our supervisor felt like you’ve been asking around us so it seemed like something was off. Because of that, he asked me to spy on you!” ‘He isn’t lying.’ Su Yang looked at him, “Is there anything else you’re hiding?”
Wang shook his head incessantly. “No, there’s no more!”
‘He’s lying.’ Su Yang picked up the small blade and mercilessly stuck it in the back of Brother Wang’s hand, causing him to scream again. Su Yang leisurely said, “I don’t like people lying to me.” Brother Wang immediately replied. “Alright! I’ll tell you!”
“Sixth Liu was beaten up by his supervisor because he said it was forbidden for anyone to come to the villa. The supervisor also intended to investigate you to see if there’s a threat to us!”
Su Yang frowned. ‘If there’s a threat to them?
‘Is what did I do to cause such a reaction when all I did was to have a look at the area myself? What secrets are hidden in Longteng Jiayuan?’
Once the question was revealed, Su Yang wanted to get answers.
So, he used Dagger Girl and coerced Brother Wang to get all the information related to Longteng Jiayuan he knew of. At first, Brother Wang wanted to hide some key things but later realized that the person in front of him had superpowers and would always know whether he was lying or not. In the end, he no longer dared to conceal anything and gave an account of everything. When Brother Wang finished explaining, Su Yang let Janet knock him out, took out Lethe’s Porcelain Bowl (False), poured two cups of water, and made him drink it all. This way, his memory of the previous hour would be erased.
After doing all this, Su Yang let Janet send him back to the shaded area near the tree.
As for Su Yang, he sat on the bench in the basement while frowning as he contemplated. He looked at the only window in the basement. It was the one closest to the ground and was also the most ventilated.
‘Longteng Jiayuan.. Who would’ve thought that it was actually like this? What a surprise.’
