Chapter 29 Recruiting Actors

“Back then, our group of guy friends were so envious when you two were dating. And it wasn’t just us. Within the school, everyone was so jealous.” Qin Guan couldn’t help but sigh as he thought about the past.

“Dating and marriage are two different things. It’s not the same.” Ning Yi was feeling sluggish and a little tired. “Love, passion, and money are not sufficient to bring strength and happiness to a marriage. There are other factors like responsibilities, accountabilities, obligations, and love.”

These were also things he had slowly found out through experience after spending more time with his daughter after the divorce.

“You’re right. But, come to think of it, among us brothers, you’re the one I envy the most. And the one I admire the most.”

“Envy me? What for? For being unaccomplished or being a divorcee?”

“So what if you’re divorced? Your ex-wife is Xia Youqing. You don’t need everlasting love, what really matters is that the love was once yours.” He finished the wine in his glass and waved his hand in a grand gesture. “As for not achieving anything, that’s because you didn’t want to inherit the family business and chose to do something you like. Besides, you’re running your own company now.”

“You really think I can do it?” Ning Yi was pleased with Qin Guan’s trust in him.

“Of course. You are Young Master Ning. Whenever you set out to do something, when have you ever failed?”

“Even if it’s just civilities, I’ll take your words for it.” Ning Yi smiled and emptied his glass.

“These are not civilities. The purpose of me buying you a drink today is not just to celebrate, but also to ask if you still need investors.”

“Why? Are you going to invest in me?” Ning Yi perked up at the mention of investment.

“Yes, that’s the idea.”

“Sure. How much do you plan to invest?”

“I’m combining funds with a friend. Is ten million okay? I’ll transfer the money to you in the next couple of days.”

“And your friend is?”

“I can’t tell you for now. I’ll transfer the money to you in a few days. Just give us our portion of shares accordingly,” he said meaningfully.

“No problem.”

Late at night, Luzhou Film City.

The green brick walls towered over the city, and the lofty vermillion gates were closed.

A young girl in a white period costume was standing in front of the city gate with a towel wrapped around her. With a phone in hand, she was speaking with someone on the other end of the line. She was drenched and looked exceptionally beautiful.

“Yeah, sure. Give me the account number and I’ll make a transfer tomorrow.”

“Do you have that much faith in him?” a young male voice sounded from the phone.

“Whether I have confidence or not, it’s only right that I show support for it at a time like this.” The girl took a small sip from the cup of the brown sugar ginger tea in Xiaozhu’s hand. Xiaozhu is her assistant.

“You two are such an interesting couple.” When you were together, you fought all the time, but now that you are divorced, you become so fiercely protective of each other.

“If he doesn’t accept it, please find a way to make him take the money.”

“I’ll do my best.”

“Ok I’m hanging up. I’m getting back to work.

The young girl, Xia Youqing, was filming. She kept rubbing her hands together after hanging up.

It was freezing

….

Xia Youqing transferred the money quickly, and so did Qin Guan.

The two of them transferred the money to Ning Yi’s company account almost at the same time.

One day, Ning Youguang was sitting in the chairman’s office of Billion Lights Media Co. Ltd. and drinking milk tea when she looked up and saw her father walking in with a puzzled expression on his face.

“What happened?”

“Your mother just wired us eight million dollars.”

“Not bad for her to be able to save so much money,” teased Youguang.

“Baby, that’s besides the point.” Ning Yi sat down beside his daughter and took a big sip of his milk tea.

At this moment, a bunch of mixed emotions were running through his head and he started sipping on his milk tea.

“What’s the problem?”

“Right now our problem isn’t how much money your mother can save. It’s that she’s invested in the company, do you understand?”

“You don’t want it?”

“…” Ning Yi glanced sideways at the mischievous daughter.

This little kid.

She clearly knew what he wanted, but she was waiting for him to say it out loud.

‘Does she enjoy watching her father make a fool of himself that much?’

“I think we should accept it.”

Ning Yi continued drinking his milk tea and said nothing

“If there’s money to make, why not let my mother in on it?”

It made a hell lot of sense.

Xia Youding was surprised to hear from Qin Guan that Ning Yi had accepted her money without asking anything.

Therefore, when Ning Yi asked her to come over and sign the contract, she went to Billion Light Year Media with her assistant, Xiaozhu.

Her arrival caused a sensation in the office.

The new receptionist was the first to see Xia Youqing.

When Xia Youqing came out of the elevator with her assistant, and took off her glasses in front of her, the receptionist was so shocked that she almost screamed.

After bringing Xia Youqing to her boss’s office, she turned around and walked towards her seat. As she passed by the administrative area, she could not help but smile at the administrative lady.

“Oh my, she’s so beautiful in person.”

“Yes, her skin is so fair and her face is so small.” With stars in her eyes, the administrative lady placed her face in her hands.

At this moment, she was having the same thoughts as the receptionist. She felt that she was really blessed to be able to work at Billion Light Years.

This was such a paradise for those who love looking at beautiful people.

Not only was the boss extremely handsome, his daughter was also extremely cute and sweet. Now, she even got to see the celebrity, Xia Youqing.

She had to work hard and let the company prosper. That way, she would definitely be able to see more celebrities in the future.

It was so exciting to think about!

“Do you think she’s here because she’ll be the lead actress in our film?” Another bespectacled young man came over to join them.

Billion Light Years had just been established, and there were not many staff members yet. Those working currently were a couple of young people who had just been recruited.

Ning Yi was not old to begin with, and the employees he recruited were all about his age. They were all full of vigor, and hence the company’s atmosphere was filled with vitality.

“Hey, hey, hey. Watch your image.”

In contrast, Mr. Cat, who was supposed to be a cool scriptwriter, appeared more serious than all the other staff in the company.

Xia Youding entered Ning Yi’s office and saw that her daughter was also there. She raised an eyebrow and sat down beside her.

“You two are getting closer now.”

“Qing Qing can come for tea often too.” There was no tea for children, but there was milk tea.

This was a treat that Youguang could not enjoy at her grandfather’s house.

Xiaozhu, who is Xia Youging’s assistant, stood outside the office and did not go in.

Ning Yi pushed a fresh cup of tea towards Xia Youqing.

Xia Youqing picked up her teacup and took a sip. “Ning Yi, stop giving You You so much junk food. If she looks ugly in the future, I won’t let you off.”

She saw a bag of food from McDonald’s and milk tea on the table as she entered.

“This is for myself.” Ning Yi touched his nose, feeling a little guilty.

“Eat less junk food yourself. Don’t you know that you’ve gained weight?” Xia Youqing glanced at Ning Yi with slight disdain.

“I’m not an actor. It’s okay to be fat.”

His ex-wife was as picky as ever, but Ning Yi was strangely more at ease than before.

Youguang saw her Mom and Dad slowly relax, and the corners of their mouths curled up slightly.
