WBSGVS Chapter 96 V2

The next day, Ye Minhang left work early, hoping to pick Su Tang up, have a meal, and then watch a movie together.

However, before Ye Minhang could reach Su Tang’s place, halfway through the drive, his phone rang: “Young Master Ye, the secretary from President Wang at Huanchuang called. They need to discuss the partnership again.”

Ye Minhang’s dreamy mood vanished instantly, and he frowned. “I thought we settled this before? What’s the issue now?”

The secretary explained, “I heard that Yu Ran contacted Huanchuang early this morning. They had lunch together, so there might have been some changes.”

Yu Ran happened to be one of Ye’s family’s connections, and this order from Huanchuang was one of the few he had been aggressively pursuing. Given the recent issues, he was already viewed as less reliable in Grandpa’s eyes. These orders were his way to prove himself. If there were any setbacks, his cousin might end up being placed in charge of the company instead!

His face changed slightly, and he forgot about picking up Su Tang, instructing the driver to turn around and head back to the company instead.

Qing Li had stayed up all night. After reporting Su Corporation’s issues last time, she spent a long time sorting out data. This time, it wasn’t a report but a delivery of information to Ye’s competitors, which also required extensive data investigation.

Since the last time wasn’t urgent, this time she had to compress her timeline, sacrificing some sleep.

In the middle of the night, Qing Li sorted through the original owner’s memories, extracting useful information from conversations with Ye Minhang, and then conducted searches. Not just any place, but those areas Ye was responsible for—sometimes he would complain to the original owner, though she didn’t quite understand the industry differences.

But Qing Li did, and after understanding, she searched for the business situation at Ye’s company, compiled relevant data, and sent it directly to Ye’s competitors. Winning a few orders would be no problem at all.

Su Tang still had the energy for schemes, relying solely on Ye Minhang as her support. As long as he was flustered, with the Ye family’s nature, Su’s current situation was worse than that of the original family, and with the original experience as a caution, the Ye family’s parents were bound to be ruthless in their interference.

After completing everything, Qing Li finally went to sleep.

Having just finished a commitment, she had two days of rest coming up, during which she could sleep through until the next day.

When Qing Li woke up, the sky outside was still gray.

Checking the time, it was already past six in the evening.

The evenings came earlier as fall deepened. She got up and saw Zheng Yue watching TV in the room. Upon seeing her, Zheng Yue immediately sat up, saying, “I ordered takeout. I left it for you in case you weren’t awake yet. Should I warm it up?”

“Sounds good, thanks,” Qing Li nodded, heading to the bathroom to freshen up.

Zheng Yue didn’t watch TV anymore. After putting the takeout in the microwave, she hesitantly moved closer to Qing Li’s side, looking at her without speaking.

Noticing her demeanor, Qing Li felt a bit uneasy. “Did something else happen?”

Zheng Yue bit her lip, nervously batting her eyes.

Qing Li blinked a few times. “Is it about the same thing as yesterday?”

Zheng Yue shook her head. “No, yesterday’s situation was handled by your fans, and we hired some online trolls to control the comments. The situation is already under control, and the marketing accounts received invitations this morning, deleting those contents. Cheng Yu also clarified for you, there’s no issue now.”

Qing Li asked, “And then?”

Zheng Yue sighed. “It’s your favorite show—the director called earlier saying that the investor who brought in the male lead for the previous season quit and pulled out. They can’t support the production anymore. If we delay filming, all the actors and the director’s schedules will collide…”

This show was Qing Li’s favorite, and it was also the first role she was confirmed for—the milestone role.

But just two months in, and it was facing problems!

Qing Li understood with a nod. “Ah, so that’s it. No worries.”

Zheng Yue’s eyes widened. “Worry? This is your first leading role! The rest of the scripts are all supporting roles, and now it’s like this…”

Although such situations were common in the entertainment industry—no one could predict the fate of a show until it aired, and some were even axed midway—it still hurt when it happened to her personally.

Qing Li smiled and spread one hand. “Sister Zheng, could you contact the director and tell him we need X amount of investment? I think I have that figure here.”

Zheng Yue guessed, “Five million?”

Qing Li shook her head. “Add another zero.”

She remembered this show didn’t require any special effects; as long as they didn’t hire big names, five million should cover not only production but also promotion. Her money should be enough.

Just being an actress wasn’t her ultimate goal; being a boss was.
