Chapter 149 Raising Money
After seeing Ye Ke get in the car and leave, Jiang Shiyuan asked, "She's gone, should I follow her?"
"No need. She said that this system can be upgraded. After the upgrade, she can absorb the luck of people around her. She is in urgent need of 10 million now. Do you have this 10 million?"
Jiang Shiyuan frowned, "Ten million! With all my assets now added up, I can probably get three or four million."
Even though they make money quickly in this line of work, they also spend it quickly.
In the world of fame and fortune, what matters is one’s connections and one’s outfit.
Building connections also requires money.
Cheng Jiuyuan also had no idea how much silver was equivalent to 10 million in this world.
Jiang Shiyuan suddenly asked again: "If you have this 10 million, what would you do?"
"Ye Ke suspected that your luck had run out, so she wanted to continue to absorb the luck of others. She really needed this 10 million. So I wanted to use this 10 million to lure her into the trap."
While the two were talking, a tall and thin man came out of the building. He was carrying a laptop bag and looked extremely ordinary.
The man drove away, and Cheng Jiuyuan hurriedly urged Jiang Shiyuan to follow.
"Follow him. This man also has a system. Get closer so I can hear his conversation with the system."
Jiang Shiyuan was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't follow too closely at first. At a traffic light, the man stopped his car, and Jiang Shiyuan stepped on the accelerator and stopped behind his car.
"Can you hear me?"
"Shh, don't talk."
Cheng Jiuyuan listened carefully.
It sounded like the man was used to talking to the system, telling it everything, and the system could talk to him and answer him like a normal person. Obviously, his system was more advanced than Cheng Yunge and Ye Ke's. The man called it '001', and the system called the man 'Master'.
The man and Ling Lingyi were like friends, chatting about everything from the weather to traffic jams. Finally, when the red light went out, the man got to the point.
"Zero One, my technology can now upgrade your main system to absorb the luck of people around you. I have a bigger idea. You said that since the luck between people can be transferred, what about between countries?"
"Master, I need more energy. The energy in the stone may not be enough..."
The car was getting farther and farther away. A black car behind it kept trying to overtake Jiang Shiyuan's car. The two cars chased each other, and the man's car disappeared.
This is a suburb, and there aren't many cars. The road is so wide, but the car didn't drive in the lane next to her, but had to drive between her and the other car. Jiang Shiyuan was so angry that he immediately chased after it and forced the black car to stop.
Jiang Shiyuan got out of the car, slammed the door angrily, walked angrily to the window of the black car and knocked on it.
The window of the black car slowly rolled down, and sitting in the driver's seat was a man with a cold temperament who looked like someone who was not someone to be trifled with.
"How do you drive? The road is so wide, but you have to squeeze into my car!"
Gao Xu looked at Jiang Shiyuan coldly, wishing he could strangle this troublesome woman to death.
After so many days of surveillance, we finally saw the suspect show up today, but it was ruined by this woman.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Shiyuan continued angrily: "I'm talking to you! How do you drive?! If you're in a hurry, just change lanes. Why do you only squeeze into my car?"
Gao Xu gave her a cold look, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Jiang Shiyuan, who was filled with car exhaust, was so angry that he cursed and then returned to the car.
Cheng Jiuyuan felt very sorry. "The man who just came out of the building is the one who developed these main programs. Listening to his conversation with his system, these systems all rely on the energy in a piece of stone. Ye Ke also mentioned before that this man treasures this stone very much."
"I was thinking, if we can get into this building and destroy the stone, that person won't be able to continue developing these harmful things."
Jiang Shiyuan nodded, then frowned and said, "This man is an expert in this area. Since it is such an important thing, he must have set up layers of protection. It will be difficult for us to enter the building."
Cheng Jiuyuan sighed: "So we have to use Ye Ke, but where can we find 10 million?"
Jiang Shiyuan bit her lip. How about she go to loan sharking?
"Forget it, let's go back first. We have made some important discoveries today."
……
When Chen Zhi woke up, he picked up his phone and saw that his private messages had exploded.
He soon found the reason and became furious.
Who is the hidden rule? Is he Chen Zhi?
When I clicked on these people’s homepages, I found that most of them were fans of Ye Ke.
These young fans can't stand being instigated, and they attacked him like crazy.
Chen Zhiben is a serious and fearless person. He always selects people based on their acting skills and does not care too much about the actors' background and qualifications.
He will not take the blame for this unspoken rule.
He made an angry call.
A video quickly went viral on the Internet.
That was the audition video for "Midsummer".
Only the audition clips of Ye Ke and Jiang Shiyuan were shown. Coincidentally, the two of them were auditioning for the same scene, so it was easy to see whose acting skills were better.
Soon the talk of unspoken rules on the Internet disappeared without a trace.
However, there are still voices online opposing Kang Si Won’s role in Xia Zhi, especially from fans of the original novel.
Soon another video was released, and this one directly became a hot topic.
It is the part where Jiang Shiyuan plays the guqin.
Jiang Shiyuan returned home, threw his cell phone aside, and rummaged through the drawers to look for his valuables.
All the bags and jewelry she had bought to show off were thrown on the bed by her.
She took her cell phone and went to a second-hand luxury store to check the prices, then started calculating with a calculator.
Ten million! If she hadn't helped Ye Ke pay for her tuition and training fees, and hadn't helped Ye Ke with her connections, and she had saved a little more, maybe...
Well, that's not even close.
Even though she was quite glamorous in the past, the company took most of the profits, and she didn't get much.
Just as she was frowning and thinking about what else she could sell, her cell phone suddenly rang.
When she looked at him, she found that he was an artist with whom she had a good relationship in the company before.
She answered the phone and heard compliments from the other end.
"Shi Yuan, congratulations, you are finally popular again."
"Huh? What does that mean?"
"Look at the hot searches, they're all praising you. I think you've secured the role of 'Summer Solstice'. Just now, President Wen told me that he wants to work with you again."
Jiang Shiyuan snorted in her heart, she finally saw it clearly.
No one in the entertainment industry can be trusted.
When you are popular, you are surrounded by good people.
When things are not going well for you, the people around you can make things even worse for you.
Jiang Shiyuan exchanged a few words with her, hung up the phone and opened his cell phone.
Sure enough, her name was at the top of the entertainment hot search list, with a small "沸" (boiling) at the end.
When she clicked on it, she saw the video of Cheng Jiuyuan playing the piano for her.
She clicked into the comments section.
"I didn't expect Jiang Shiyuan to play the guqin so well."
"I remember that in the original novel, Xia Zhi learned to play the guqin! Oh my god, isn't this the chosen Xia Zhi?"
"The original fans are very satisfied."
"Ahhh, my sister is so beautiful!"
"Isn't Jiang Shiyuan eligible for the top ten inspirational figures of the year? An orphan who has made it to where he is today on his own."
"That's a great gesture."
"The Yuanyuan I'm familiar with is back, woooo, I've been a fan since her debut, I started with her looks, I respect her talent, she's compatible with me, I've always been kind, and I'm loyal to her character."
"Isn't this the summer solstice? Although I am not a fan of the original novel of "Midsummer", I envy the fans of the original novel of "Midsummer". Jiang Siyuan's appearance and personality are very consistent with the original novel. The key is that she has good acting skills!"
"..."
Most of the comments were praising Jiang Shiyuan. Some praised her temperament and appearance, some praised her tenacity and talent. There was even a very famous guqin player who said that she played the guqin at a master level.
Although she knew that most of the praise belonged to Cheng Jiuyuan, she was also very happy.
Just then, the cell phone rang again.
When she saw it was Director Chen calling, she answered the phone.
"Really?"
"Okay, thank you Director Chen, I will definitely not let you down."
"When I'm free, OK, I'll take a look at it later, just send it to me."
"Okay, see you tomorrow then."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shiyuan jumped up from the bed.
"Sister, that's great. Director Chen has asked me to sign a contract."
"Yeah, I heard it."
"After signing the contract, I can ask Director Chen to advance part of the salary first, and then I can find a way to get the rest together. Ten million shouldn't be difficult."
Cheng Jiuyuan was also happy when she heard this, "That's great."
