"Of course. Young Master Long is really throwing away a fortune just to win a smile from a beauty."
"But I don't think Yu Linglong's image fits well. She is more suited for the role of an unreasonable and spoiled young lady, whereas Jiang Yunxian has more of a persevering and resilient temperament."
"But looking at the current popular young actresses in the entertainment industry, Yu Linglong actually has one of the most fitting images, right?"
"Anyway, whether she's the most fitting or not, nine times out of ten, this master's work will fall into the hands of Dafeng Entertainment. After all, Young Master Long has personally stepped in."
Jiang Zhao had his hands tucked into his coat pockets, his dark gaze fixed on Long Yuan, who had just appeared at the meet-and-greet.
He knew that Long Yuan had recently been using various methods to snatch resources from Starlight Entertainment, including today's Ambition of Qingyun project.
Unfortunately for him, Long Yuan's wishful thinking was going to fall through today.
His sister, Jiang Youli, was bound to secure the copyright for Ambition of Qingyun for Starlight Entertainment today.
After all, Little Li was Lili Yuanshang herself.
A total of twenty-five entertainment companies participated in this copyright sales meeting for Ambition of Qingyun. Sixteen of them were from Beijing, and the other nine had made a special trip from elsewhere.
At this moment, the representatives of all twenty-five entertainment companies had arrived and taken their designated seats arranged by the organizers in advance.
On Dafeng Entertainment's side, the attendees were Chairman Yu himself, his secretary, and Zheng Zegang, the business department manager who had just jumped ship from Starlight Entertainment.
The reason Chairman Yu brought along Starlight Entertainment's former business department manager, Zheng Zegang, was specifically to mock Jiang Youli.
After looking around the venue, Zheng Zegang laughed and said, "Chairman Yu, Jiang Youli isn't here. Starlight Entertainment sent Secretary Yang, who used to work with Jiang Xing, and he brought a woman with him. She should be a newly signed artist."
Chairman Yu turned to look at Long Yuan and flattered him, "Young Master Long, look, Jiang Youli is just a paper tiger. She didn't even dare to come in person to fight for the project with us today. It seems we have this Ambition of Qingyun IP in the bag."
Seeing that Jiang Youli hadn't dared to show up, Long Yuan's expression finally softened a bit, and a hint of smugness unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
That woman, Jiang Youli, had confidently sworn on the phone last night that she wouldn't submit to him. To think she would actually chicken out and not dare to come today.
He sneered, "It seems she really is a paper tiger, easily punctured and nothing to fear."
Chairman Yu continued to fawn over him, "That's right. In the entire Beijing circle, who would dare to make an enemy of you now, Young Master Long? Even Qi Huan, the former chosen one, has to weigh his options now. After all, he's just a cripple who needs someone to push him around whenever he goes out."
Long Yuan quite enjoyed this kind of flattery.
The feeling of trampling Qi Huan underfoot was truly wonderful.
Soon, he would no longer be called the eternal runner-up behind people's backs!
...
After parking the car in the underground parking lot of Mimi's Hometown and entering the elevator, Jiang Youli said, "Huanhuan, you go to the meeting venue and wait for me first. I still need to go prepare the documents to prove that I am the author Lili Yuanshang."
Qi Huan nodded. "Alright. I've booked the Auspicious Ruyi private room on the second floor. I'll wait for you there."
"Okay."
After watching Cheng Jing push Qi Huan out of the elevator, Jiang Youli continued up to her office on the fifth floor.
Seeing Jiang Youli arrive, the person in charge of Mimi's Hometown took out a document from the cabinet. "Boss, these are the documents regarding the identity of Lili Yuanshang that you asked Miss Ye Ying to pull from the organization for you."
Jiang Youli took the document bag, sat down on the sofa, and opened it to check. Inside were the manuscript of Ambition of Qingyun and the contract signed with the website.
After confirming that nothing was missing, Jiang Youli put the manuscript and contract away again.
"By the way, Boss, Miss Ye Ying also said that the Long family is preparing for another shady deal recently." As he spoke, the person in charge took out a few photos and a piece of information.
"This is a new type of aphrodisiac that the Long family developed in an overseas club. It's said to combine the effects of narcotics and traditional aphrodisiacs, making people unable to stop in sexual matters. They can't quit it at all and will only want to sink into it night after night, thereby degenerating into sex slaves unable to resist. In the end, they might be sold to Southeast Asia for rich people to play with."
"Once this drug circulates in the domestic market, who knows how many innocent girls will fall victim to it."
Jiang Youli held the document about the new aphrodisiac. After reading it, her eyes were incredibly cold. "It seems it's absolutely impossible for the Long family to completely wash their hands clean. After all, if they go completely legitimate, what means would they have to compete with the Qi family? Their only advantage is these shady businesses."
She threw the drug's information onto the coffee table, her voice bone-chillingly cold. "Within two months, I will make the Long family completely collapse!"
...
The live broadcast of the Ambition of Qingyun copyright sales meeting had already started, and the number of online viewers slowly rose to a hundred thousand.
Suddenly, a figure appeared on camera, sparking a frenzy of comments in the live chat.
[Who is that man in the wheelchair? He's so handsome!]
[Haven't you heard? He's the heir to a top wealthy family in the Beijing circle, Eldest Young Master Qi Huan. He was the undisputed chosen one of the Beijing circle, but it's a pity that his legs were crippled in an accident two months ago.]
[Ah! That's really such a pity!]
[But why did Eldest Young Master Qi come to this meeting? Is he also interested in the copyright of Ambition of Qingyun?]
[Don't you guys know? Young Master Qi is the fiancé of Jiang Youli, the true heiress of the Jiang family. And Starlight Entertainment is now taken over by Jiang Youli. Eldest Young Master Qi must be worried she won't be able to secure the copyright, so he came specifically to help.]
[Holy crap! Then this meeting is going to be even more interesting to watch! Young Master Long vs. Young Master Qi. Who will win this time? Will Young Master Long be able to shake off the title of eternal runner-up?]
At the meeting venue on the first floor, Chairman Yu's expression suddenly changed. "Why did Eldest Young Master Qi come too? Doesn't the Qi family not have any companies involved in the entertainment industry?"
Long Yuan raised his eyes and looked towards the restaurant's elevator, his gaze darkening.
The secretary behind Chairman Yu guessed, "Maybe he wanted to come and show support for Jiang Youli's Starlight Entertainment. It's just a pity that Jiang Youli herself didn't dare to come."
Long Yuan faintly spat out a sentence, "An unnecessary move."
Qi Huan was just about to head to his pre-booked private room on the second floor when he noticed Long Yuan's gaze. He raised his hand, signaling Cheng Jing to stop, and then looked at Long Yuan, smiling pointedly. "Young Master Long is here too."
Meeting Qi Huan's half-smiling eyes, Long Yuan pursed his lips and didn't reply.
Qi Huan continued to smile, "I heard from my people that Young Master Long seems very interested in my younger brother, Qi Yue. A couple of days ago, you even specifically sent someone to the airport to pick Qi Yue up upon his return to the country. I wonder what Young Master Long wants with my brother."
At the mention of this matter, Long Yuan's face sank.
Last time, after getting the news from Qi Shaoxiong, he sent people to capture Qi Yue, but who would have thought they would actually fail? Now, it made him lose face in front of Qi Huan once again!
The representative of Tianyu Media and the representative of Xingyao Pictures began to whisper to each other:
"Young Master Long is interested in Qi Yue? In what way is he interested?!"
"It couldn't be like the relationship between him and his second uncle on the internet, right..."
Keep your voices down! Aren't you afraid of offending the Long family and getting bankrupted on a whim?
