After leaving the hospital, Su Lingwei went directly to the company by car.
On the way, she received a call from Li Xinran.
“Weiwei, Susan is hosting a private business cocktail party. She sent an invitation to my brother, but he’s too busy to go, so he asked me to go for him. Do you want to come with me?”
Susan came from a wealthy family and had been exposed to business since she was young, developing a strong business acumen.
After graduating from university at the age of twenty-two, she didn’t go to work at her family’s company but instead ventured into investment. Her first investment was in real estate.
At that time, real estate was just beginning to rise, and the land she bought quickly soared in price. When she sold it later, she made a lot of money.
Later, she invested in some other projects one after another, all of which yielded great returns, making her a very successful investor.
People who could attend Susan’s private business cocktail party were generally big shots from various industries, all of whom were wealthy individuals.
They said they were going to the cocktail party, but in fact, they were mostly exchanging various information, seeking cooperation and business opportunities.
Su Lingwei immediately thought of the dream she had on the car last night. She dreamed that the capital flow of Jiahe Entertainment was cut off, the company ran out of money, and the employees below were all in a state of unrest.
At this time, someone with malicious intentions leaked the news that Jiahe Entertainment had no money, which immediately hit the hot search, exposing Jiahe Entertainment’s predicament to everyone.
Then some people began to doubt Jiahe Entertainment’s previous statements about cultivating new t
alent, thinking it was just a cover-up for the fact that Jiahe Entertainment had no money. With this kind of rhythm, it also had a bad impact on the upcoming movie “Overnight Riches.”
This was not a good dream. Su Lingwei was very clear about the current situation of Jiahe Entertainment.
The money in her hands could not support Jiahe Entertainment for too long. She had to pull in new investments to ease Jiahe Entertainment’s predicament.
Thinking of this, Su Lingwei agreed to Li Xinran’s invitation without hesitation, “I’ll go with you to Susan’s cocktail party.”
She was going to find investors at the cocktail party!
***
In the CEO’s office of Jiahe Entertainment, bright sunlight streamed in through the transparent windows.
Su Lingwei sat behind her desk, working on documents, with a meeting scheduled soon.
A knock on the door interrupted her. Su Lingwei looked up from the papers and said, “Come in.”
Zhang Mingen pushed open the door and said to Su Lingwei, “President Su, Xu Dingjun is here and wants to see you.”
Su Lingwei guessed that Xu Dingjun had come to return the car keys. She told Zhang Mingen, “Let him in.”
Zhang Mingen acknowledged and went out to call Xu Dingjun in.
Soon, Xu Dingjun, dressed in casual gray attire, walked in from outside.
He was holding a dessert and placed it on Su Lingwei’s desk.
With a handsome smile, he said, “I passed by Grandma Qiao’s Dessert Shop on my way here. Their stewed banana in rock sugar is quite good. This dessert has a sobering effect. You drank a lot last night, so this should help.”
Su Lingwei’s lashes trembled slightly. Xu Dingjun’s concern warmed her heart.
It had been so long since someone cared for her like this, she couldn’t even remember.
“Thank you.”
Su Lingwei was touched.
She smiled and accepted the stewed banana, opening the box and scooping some with a disposable spoon.
It was sweet and tasted good, very comforting.
Seeing Su Lingwei eat, Xu Dingjun felt happy too.
He always felt that she had a hard time managing Jiahe Entertainment alone.
He wanted to show her more care and repay her kindness to him.
“Here are your car keys,” Xu Dingjun said, taking out the Maserati keys and placing them on the desk.
Su Lingwei, with her mouth full of stewed banana, couldn’t speak properly, so she just nodded.
Xu Dingjun continued, “The car is great to drive. I’m thinking of buying one myself.”
With his family’s wealth, he could buy as many cars as he wanted, even better and more expensive than a Maserati.
However, since he left home, he didn’t want to spend his family’s money anymore. He wanted to earn his own money to buy things.
Su Lingwei looked up at Xu Dingjun, examining his handsome face. She smiled and said, “As long as you act well, when you become popular, you can buy as many cars as you want.”
“Do you think I can become popular?”
Xu Dingjun still had concerns about being blacklisted last time.
Of course, he could go back home and let his family solve this for him, but he didn’t want his family to think he couldn’t do it.
He wanted to prove to his family that he could do it himself.
Now, Su Lingwei told him he could become popular, and he wanted to know if she was just comforting him.
Su Lingwei tilted her head, feeling surprised by his question.
She remembered Xu Dingjun, the Movie Emperor, should be a very confident person and shouldn’t have moments of self-doubt.
“Why would you think you won’t become popular? You’re so handsome, so good-looking, and your acting skills are so good. This is a blessing from heaven. If this can’t make you popular, then there are few people in the world who can be popular.”
Su Lingwei encouraged Xu Dingjun with a smile, “Don’t think too much. You’ll start filming in a few days. Adjust your state, play your acting skills to the best of your ability, and you’ll definitely succeed.”
Perhaps it was Su Lingwei’s encouragement that had an effect.
Xu Dingjun’s handsome face showed a smile, and he quickly assured Su Lingwei, “I will definitely not let you down.”
At this time, Su Lingwei did not yet understand the true meaning behind Xu Dingjun’s words. It was only much later that she realized what his assurance represented.
Zhang Mingen came to inform Su Lingwei that it was time for the meeting. “Ms. Su, everyone is waiting in the main conference room.”
“Alright, I’ll be there in a moment,” Su Lingwei replied.
Seeing that Su Lingwei still had things to attend to, Xu Dingjun didn’t want to continue to intrude and bid farewell to Su Lingwei, leaving Jiahe Entertainment.
Su Lingwei tidied up the documents and went to the main conference room for the meeting, which lasted the entire morning and ended only at half past noon.
“Is there anything else in the afternoon?” Su Lingwei asked Zhang Mingen about the afternoon schedule on the way back to her office.
Zhang Mingen checked the schedule and said, “There’s nothing planned for this afternoon.”
Su Lingwei nodded, pushed open the office door and walked in, saying to Zhang Mingen, “I have a reception tonight. I’ll leave early in the afternoon. If there’s anything, give me a call.”
“Okay,” Zhang Mingen noted, adding, “Take care of yourself. The company’s matters can wait. Don’t stress yourself too much.”
Just now at the meeting, some of the senior executives spoke in a rather unpleasant manner, showing distrust towards Su Lingwei.
They were also not very optimistic about the movie ‘Overnight Riches’ that she insisted on producing.
Su Lingwei had to both suppress those old folks and manage the company, which created tremendous pressure.
“I’ll be fine,” Su Lingwei said with a faint smile. “I know what I’m doing.”
Those old folks were targeting her under the pretext of the company’s current situation, but their ultimate goal was money.
As long as she could secure new investments, she could make them shut up for the time being.
If the movie ‘Overnight Riches’ made money after its release, she could make them all shut up for good.
She had the confidence.
