After talking about the happenings in Yuqing City, Liu Zixuan laughed, "With what happened before, Pang Xin is naturally afraid of me. In their eyes, I'm like a demon. These days, it's better to offend rich people than offend a demon, right!"
"Pfft!"
Hearing Liu Zixuan's self-deprecating humor, Meng Yu couldn't help but laugh, "In their eyes, you're a demon, but to those around you, you're a hero! For the people you care about, you're willing to do such earth-shaking deeds! No wonder so many girls like you!"
"A lot of girls like me?" Liu Zixuan said with a smug smile.
"After my new song's MV was released, a lot of fans on various platforms asked who you are. They all want to know if you're also in the entertainment industry and want to become your fan!" Meng Yu asked, "Didn't you know?"
"Ahem, I've been busy recently and haven't had the chance to listen to your new song! I'll take a good listen when I get back!" Liu Zixuan said with an embarrassed smile.
"By the way, what kind of movie are you going to shoot? Why do I feel like it's still a bit mysterious?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"It's a secret for now." Meng Yu smiled mysteriously, "I'll tell you when I have everything prepared! Besides, I'll need your help then!"
"Still playing mysterious with me!" Liu Zixuan grinned. Since she didn't want to say, he wouldn't press on and thought of it as a future surprise from Meng Yu to him!
After chatting for a while, Liu Zixuan stood up, ready to leave.
"I haven't been to the clinic for several days, I should go and have a look. You keep busy!" Liu Zixuan said.
"Can't you stay a little longer?"
"There will be plenty of time in the future." Liu Zixuan smiled, "If you have any difficulties, just tell me, don't carry it all yourself. Also, Pang Xin said the money will be delivered tomorrow, make sure to get it!"
"Okay, I'll come find you once I have it."
"What are you coming to find me for?"
"It's seventy to eighty million! I won't use that much for the movie. I'll bring you the excess!" Meng Yu said.
"Keep it for now. I'll come to you when I need it!" Liu Zixuan shrugged and walked out.
At the door, he waved goodbye to Meng Yu and drove away.
"Sister Meng, who was that just now? So cool, and got us funding so quickly!" one of the staff whispered, "Could he be your boyfriend?"
"What do you know, you nosy girl? Get back to work. There will be plenty for you to do now that the funding is settled!" Meng Yu rolled her eyes at her and unintentionally glanced outside again.
Liu Zixuan's car was already out of sight, but Meng Yu felt as if Liu Zixuan was still beside her!
In their industry, things are indeed particularly chaotic. Newcomers want to rise, second-tier wants to enter the first-tier ranks. Besides individual strength, they also rely on external forces, and there are quite a few unspoken rules!
Meng Yu was a bit happy; she gained some fame early in her career through her hard work, and now at this crucial moment, she stayed true to herself without getting involved in those unspoken rules!
What made her even happier was that the one standing up for her was the man she loved and relied on!
In her mind, Meng Yu pictured Liu Zixuan's face and softly murmured, "Thank you, Zixuan, for letting me meet you at this most beautiful age!"
She dared not imagine that if she hadn't met Liu Zixuan, she might have fallen into the unspoken rules due to some negligence!
At that time, even with Meng Yu's personality, even if she met the man she loved, she might not dare to be with him.
Because she felt unworthy of Liu Zixuan!
Fortunately, now she remains unsullied amid the chaos and meets the man she loves most at this beautiful time!
Leaving from here, Liu Zixuan intended to visit the clinic since it had been several days, but he stopped midway.
On a wall-mounted screen of an official building by the roadside was broadcasting news. It caught Liu Zixuan's attention!
"This morning, the city's largest Lu Yao Group encountered its first stock market crash in years. The individual stock price dropped from 18.9 yuan to 9.9 yuan. According to information from the stock exchange, this market crash could cost Lu Yao Group over four billion!"
"And our reporter tried to contact the CEO of Lu Yao Group, Ms. Wu Mei, but found that all companies under Lu Yao Group have ceased operations for maintenance, and the specific situation is under investigation."
Hearing this news, Liu Zixuan frowned and took out his phone to call Wu Mei.
Soon, the call connected.
"Sister Wu, it seems things aren't going well on your end!"
"It's under my control." Wu Mei smiled confidently, "This is just their usual trick."
"But Qianhe Group hasn't gone public yet?" Liu Zixuan asked puzzledly.
"They're using other listed companies and then pouring a massive amount of funds to impact us. It's nothing serious, this kind of thing can happen at most three times, today all day and tomorrow morning," Wu Mei explained.
"What if it exceeds these three times?"
"Either they go bankrupt, or I do!" Wu Mei sounded calm, paused for a moment, then said, "To impact Lu Yao Group's stock market with major funds, their major funds must be at least half of Lu Yao Group's market value to achieve this."
"If it happens twice, they need to invest an amount equal to Lu Yao Group's market value. If they can invest more than three times, enough to crush me financially, then I will definitely go bankrupt. But if they go all out and I withstand it, then they go bankrupt. It's a straightforward logic!"
Although Liu Zixuan didn't understand these things too well, he could guess this is the legendary economic war!
"How are things going on your end?" Wu Mei asked.
"It's all great. The Yuqing City branch has started operations, and things here are showing signs of positive development. Based on Yiyi's predictions, we'll be able to go public by the end of this year or early next year!"
"That's amazing!" Even Wu Mei was surprised. It took years for Lu Yao Group to go public, but ShowMe Lingerie is thinking about it in less than a year!
She couldn't help but laugh, "If I don't lose this time, I'll definitely help you go public this year."
"I'll thank you in advance, Sister Wu!"
"Are you so confident I won't lose to Qianhe Group this time?" Wu Mei teased.
"I believe so. I'm sure!" Liu Zixuan replied firmly.
"Then I'll take your words for good luck!" Wu Mei laughed, "Alright, I have some things to handle. I'll treat you to tea when I'm free!"
"Alright." Liu Zixuan hung up with a relieved smile. It seemed everything was still under Wu Mei's control, so there was nothing to worry about!
He had just put his phone back into his pocket when it suddenly rang again. Liu Zixuan rubbed his forehead helplessly and answered it, but what he heard next left him at a loss for what to do!
