Shen Ran looked at the trending topic and its content with some confusion.
Chuanxing Entertainment? Min Xingchuan’s entertainment company boasts a galaxy of top stars, far surpassing those companies that rely on internet traffic for success.
Did he acquire Huanxiang just to shelved Qiao Qiyun?
Shen Ran didn’t want to think that way, but he couldn’t think of any other reason why Min Xingchuan would go after Qiao Qiyun at this juncture.
Thinking of this, Shen Ran suddenly felt a little dazed.
Didn’t they say that Min Xingchuan didn’t like Shen Ran?
Why, after this incident, did he not despised Shen Ran because of his male pride, but instead helped him vent his anger?
Therefore, he also had a different interpretation of Min Xingchuan in the original work. After Shen Ran had the accident, he said to Shen Ran with a gloomy face: “Go back to the Min[footnote]I don’t think this fit the context here, shouldn’t he told Shen Ran go back to Shen house? This might be typo~[/footnote]family! I will send you the divorce agreement another day.”
He assumed that Min Xingchuan had kicked him out because of Shen Ran’s betrayal.
Looking back now, wasn’t it also a way of letting him go free?
It was just that he never expected Shen Ran to go to Qiao Qiyun, nor did he expect him to stay in the rainy night, and he never expected Qiao Qiyun to be such a scumbag.
Shen Ran sighed softly. Min Xingchuan always kept his thoughts to himself and never revealed them.
On second thought, Min Xingchuan had actually shown a lot of willingness to divorce Shen Ran.
Shen Ran just didn’t want a divorce, and was very resistant to the word “divorce”.
Even after he cheated on him with Qiao Qiyun, he still harbored a deep and obsessive affection for Min Xingchuan.
He wanted to see how he would react, but to his surprise, he simply told him to go back to the Shen family with a cold expression, without even the slightest fluctuation of emotion.
He could imagine Shen Ran’s feelings at that time. He probably didn’t take Shen Ran’s deep affection to heart at all.
Thinking of this, Shen Ran took out his phone and sent a message to Min Xingchuan: “Brother Chuan, I folded 666 little stars for you. I wish you a smooth and successful life.”
After sending the message, he checked the trending topic on Weibo again, and it had been completely removed.
Half a day later, Min Xingchuan finally replied with two words: “Thank you.”
But Min Xingchuan clearly remembered that Shen Ran was going to fold 999 little stars for him, so why did it suddenly decrease by one-third?
However, he had a lot of work to do, so after seeing Min Hongru off, he went to Chuanxing’s entertainment company.
Chuanxing doesn’t take a company like Huanxiang, which started by relying on traffic, seriously. Besides, acquiring a small company with a profit prospect for several billion yuan was not a waste of money for Min Xingchuan.
Even if it was a waste, he had to do it.
After all, he married Shen Ran, and many of the terms were already unfair to him. He couldn’t let him suffer any more injustices in other ways.
After signing the last document, Min Xingchuan said to the CEO of Huanxiang, “Suppress all subsequent trending topics! I don’t want to see any more news about this person.”
The CEO of Huanxiang was all smiles, happy to take the money and do the work, especially since he would still be running Huanxiang in the future, only it would be under the umbrella of Chuanxing.
Between Chuanxing and Qiao Qiyun, he would naturally choose the former.
Then look at Qiao Qiyun, he was beaten into the hospital by Min Hongru, who broke one of his ribs.
With a bruised and swollen face, it was likely to leave scars.
He anxiously asked the doctor repeatedly, “Can it be removed? Are you sure it can be removed? I’m a celebrity, I can’t have scars on my face. I don’t care what method you use, you have to remove this scar! Otherwise, you’ll be in big trouble!”
The doctor frowned and said, “Whether or not you will develop a scar depends entirely on your individual constitution. If you don’t have much confidence in our hospital, then please go to another hospital for treatment!”
Qiao Qiyun kicked the bed angrily. His agent next to him had an inscrutable expression and didn’t know how to speak to him for a moment.
After the doctor left, Qiao Qiyun asked his agent, “What’s the situation online? Withdraw what needs to be withdrawn, don’t let the news spread like wildfire.”
The agent finally spoke up: “This time… I’m afraid it can’t be withdrawn…”
Qiao Qiyun was stunned. He looked up at his agent and asked, “What did you say? Are you kidding me? The entire Huanxiang company is rely on me, and you’re telling me it can’t be withdrawn?”
The agent handed Qiao Qiyun a file folder and said, “These are all your endorsement contracts from recently, and they’ve all been voided. Also… the company has terminated your contract, so you may… be unable to pursue an acting career in the future.”
Qiao Qiyun looked incredulous, snatched the document, and took out a termination letter from it.
He slowly raised his head, looked at his agent, and asked, “Why?”
The agent said with difficulty, “Mr. Qiao, the person you’ve offended is someone our company really can’t afford to mess with. Our boss is already too busy taking care of himself. Huanxiang has already been acquired by Chuanxing Entertainment. Of all the people you’ve offended, why did you have to go after that big shot’s people?”
Qiao Qiyun slumped back onto the hospital bed, the termination letter falling to the ground.
From then on, Qiao Qiyun seemed to have been forgotten by the entertainment industry. Any topics about him would automatically sink and he would never generate any buzz again, as if he had never existed in the industry.
Shen Ran stayed in the hospital for two days and returned to H University on Monday.
He had previously arranged to meet with the store manager of Fenli to discuss the purchase price.
If he didn’t go back soon, he would had to break his promise, and Shen Ran didn’t want anything to happen to his first business deal.
He then told Min Xingchuan that he was preparing to return to normal campus life on Monday.
Actually, he had been avoiding contact with Min Xingchuan for the past two days, which made both of them quite awkward, and they didn’t know how to face each other.
Min Xingchuan pondered for a moment and said, “You can rest at home for a few more days. I’ve already contacted the medical team in F country. They said you might have some estrus stress and need some treatment. However, you might need to drink some traditional Chinese medicine. It won’t be very bitter, but… drinking it twice a day might be a bit troublesome.”
Shen Ran was surprised; this was one of the longest things Min Xingchuan had ever said to him.
He scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly and said, “It’s okay, Brother Chuan. I just… had too much to do those few days and was too tired. But it’s not to the point where I need a medical team consultation. I’ll be more careful to rest in the future and won’t let myself faint again.”
Min Xingchuan asked, “I heard you’re starting a business? You’re still young, you don’t need to work too hard. The Min family won’t make you suffer, there’s no need for you to work so hard.”
Shen Ran smiled and said, “But I want to be closer to Brother Chuan!”
Seeing Min Xingchuan’s confusion, Shen Ran continued, “Actually… Min Min is right. There are so many outstanding people around Brother Chuan. What have I done to deserve being with you? So, I can only work even harder.”
As he spoke, Shen Ran looked at Min Xingchuan with a pitiful expression, and as he wished, he saw a hint of self-reproach in Min Xingchuan’s eyes.
He hesitated before speaking, “Actually… you don’t need to do this.”
Shen Ran smiled brightly and said, “Alright, Brother Chuan, I’m going to be late, I can’t talk to you anymore!”
With that, Shen Ran turned and left, getting into Xiao Xu’s car.
It seemed that after getting used to it, it was not particularly painful anymore, but sometimes he felt like a bit schizophrenic.
He checked his personality fit and found it was still at 90%, which meant he wouldn’t need to come back for a week.
Min Xingchuan looked at Shen Ran’s departing figure with a sense of confusion. He wanted to say that even if they divorced in the future, he would give him enough money to squander for the rest of his life.
Or I could just give you shares; you really wouldn’t need to work this hard.
After all, Shen Ran was the only person he ever owed in this world.
Shen Ran had arranged to meet with the CEO of Fenli in the afternoon to discuss business, so the three of them went to class together again in the morning.
Qi Xiaoyang had originally planned to suspend his studies, but now he suddenly felt it was unnecessary.
He doesn’t care about anything anymore—reputation, public opinion, everything.
Because he found the path forward, as long as he kept his feet firmly on the ground, nothing else mattered.
At noon, Shen Ran shared the food he brought from the Min family with his friends. After eating in the dormitory, everyone split into two groups.
One went to Xin Ran, and the other went to the commercial street in Peikang District.
This time when he went to Fenli again, the manager wasn’t as casual as last time.
He specially found a very stylish teahouse, went up and shook hands with Shen Ran, and invited him into a private room.
Shen Ran even wore a very formal navy blue suit today. Although the color was old-fashioned, the size was perfect, which made him look handsome and refined.
Manager Fenli probably knew some of Shen Ran’s background, because he was exceptionally polite to him today.
Any manufacturer, let alone Fenli, would be willing to cooperate with Young Master Shen, who has a background with the Shen family.
Shen Ran smiled at him and asked, “Manager, you don’t need to do that. In our business dealings, as long as the conditions are right, there will definitely be opportunities for cooperation.”
Seeing that Shen Ran was the straightforward type, the manager didn’t say anything more and went straight to the point: “Last week, Mr. Shen asked if he could get the goods at a 52% discount[footnote]Raw 五八折(wǔbā zhé); google gave me 52%… but chatgpt said 五八折 is 58% of the original price, so it should be 42% off. I actually a bit confused as I never heard it phrase like this…. So for now I will just follow what google give me first and see how it phrase in the future chapters(if there are still about this topic)[/footnote]. I communicated with headquarters. Headquarters’ idea is to let you get the goods at the factory price, which can be as low as 50% or 60% off.”
Shen Ran and Xiao Xu exchanged a glance. If that was the case, the price for the live-stream group purchase could be reduced even further.
The manager understood Shen Ran’s meaning, smiled, and said, “Even so, we do have conditions.”
Shen Ran asked, “Oh? What are the conditions?”
The manager said, “Your order must be for more than 10,000 sets, otherwise we can only give you the purchase price at 60% of the original price. Once it reaches 10,000 sets, we will offer you the 52% discount as you mentioned.”
Shen Ran nodded and said, “Of course, there’s no problem at all!”
The other party then said, “If you can sell more than 100,000 units in total, we will give you a 52%[footnote]I really tempted to follow chatgpt and write 42%, as you guys can see, above paragraph said as low as 50% as factory price, it doesn’t make sense why here it become 52% orz[/footnote]discount on the wholesale price.”
Shen Ran roughly understood that the manufacturer was probably offering such a discount to encourage shipments.
Shen Ran was very satisfied with the terms and readily signed the contract with the other party.
In this way, his first project was secured. Initially, he would collaborate with Fenli, and once he became a hit, he could then discuss other projects.
Everything was ready now, all that was left was for the top student team’s website to be completed.
When he returned, he shared the good news with everyone, and everyone was overjoyed and expressed their determination to make a big splash.
Qi Xiaoyang said with a headache, “Didn’t we organize a livestreaming competition? Some streamers asked whether the awards ceremony would be online or offline. We didn’t expect the competition to be so successful, and now more and more streamers are getting shortlisted. There’s still a week until the final competition. Boss, do we need to hold an offline awards ceremony?”
Shen Ran lowered his head and pondered for a moment before asking the finance manager, “Sister Hui, how much money do we have left in the account?”
“This month’s income hasn’t been credited yet, and the funds available now are from last month,” Hui-jie replied. “We haven’t spent any money yet; we have 190,000.”
Shen Ran snapped his fingers and said, “Do it!”
My hair~~~~ T.T
I don’t think business suit me _(:3」∠)_
