In response to Long Yuan's absolute order, Chairman Yu immediately flattered him, "This is a brilliant move! As expected of Young Master Long to come up with a way to deal with Jiang Youli so quickly!"
Seeing that Long Yuan's expression didn't soften in the slightest despite his flattery, he hurriedly promised, "Don't worry, Young Master Long. I will immediately find a reliable screenwriter to rush a script, and then fast-track the project for filming. We will definitely release it before Starlight Entertainment's show. No matter how well The Ambition of Qingyun is filmed, we will still be one step ahead and seize the market!"
"If you can't handle this properly, then prepare to step down from your position as the number one entertainment company in the capital circle," Long Yuan said, glancing at Yu Linglong before getting into the car.
"Hurry up and follow him to coax Young Master Long!" Chairman Yu sternly reminded his daughter.
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of her, whose face could seamlessly switch from obsequious to authoritative in front of her and Long Yuan, Yu Linglong felt a growing disgust for her father.
Now, as his biological daughter, she was nothing more than a tool in her father's eyes to curry favor with Long Yuan and secure Gale Entertainment's position in the capital!
And later on, Gale Entertainment would be handed over to his illegitimate son outside!
Yu Linglong would absolutely never allow such a thing to happen!
She had indeed found hope now, and that hope was Jiang Youli!
After the meet-and-greet event today, Yu Linglong was even more confident about her collaboration with Jiang Youli.
Long Yuan would be defeated!
Not just Long Yuan, but the entire Long family would be crushed by Jiang Youli!
Without Long Yuan, she was confident she could snatch the management rights of Gale Entertainment from her father's hands!
For now, she had to continue enduring. By staying by Long Yuan's side, she could secretly gather more intelligence about him and pass it on to Jiang Youli when the time came!
Thinking of this, Yu Linglong suppressed her nausea, pushed up her sunglasses, and followed Long Yuan into his car.
After sending Long Yuan and his assistant off in the car, Chairman Yu breathed a sigh of relief and turned to instruct Zheng Zegang, "Little Zheng, you heard what Young Master Long just said. A double salary isn't that easy to earn. Finding a reliable screenwriter to immediately write a story similar to the novel The Ambition of Qingyun is now your responsibility. You must get it done before Starlight Entertainment!"
Zheng Zegang nodded, "Chairman Yu, don't worry, leave this matter to me! Starlight Entertainment is currently short-handed, so their project definitely won't be completed that fast! By the time their adaptation of The Ambition of Qingyun airs, it will be too late!"
Chairman Yu nodded in satisfaction, "Mm, do this well, and you will be the business department manager of Gale Entertainment from now on!"
Zheng Zegang immediately said excitedly, "Thank you for your high regard, Chairman Yu!"
...
Jiang Zhao originally wanted to personally tell his sister Jiang Youli the news he had overheard, but remembering that she didn't want to see him, he chose not to return to the restaurant to find her. Instead, he got into his car and sent her a text message.
[Little Li, Gale Entertainment is preparing to urgently film a TV series similar to The Ambition of Qingyun to air it one step ahead of you.]
After sending the message, Jiang Zhao held his phone and waited for ten minutes.
His sister did not reply.
He looked at the number he had just saved and smiled bitterly.
His sister had been back at the Jiang family for almost a month, and only now had he saved her number.
What an unqualified older brother he was.
And this unqualified older brother was now hoping for any response from his sister.
It was truly ridiculous.
What was even more ridiculous was that Jiang Zhao couldn't resist adding his sister Jiang Youli on WeChat.
After searching with her phone number, a contact card popped up.
[Near Yet Far].
...
Buzz, buzz.
Jiang Youli's phone, which was placed face down on the table, vibrated.
She glanced at the lit screen and saw the message without even unlocking it.
[Little Li, Gale Entertainment is preparing to urgently film a TV series similar to The Ambition of Qingyun to air it one step ahead of you.]
Jiang Youli didn't reply; she simply relayed the information Jiang Zhao sent to Qi Huan.
Hearing this, Qi Huan suddenly became very interested in how his Little Li'er would counterattack. "What do you plan to do?"
Jiang Youli said, "That's easy. We just need to make the show Gale Entertainment produces blow up in their faces. As for the female lead, nine times out of ten they'll still use Yu Linglong, so we'll just have their male lead make a sacrifice."
After saying that, she used a wooden spoon to scoop up some perilla fried rice made with free-range eggs and put it into her mouth, eating with great relish.
Qi Huan said, "That is indeed a good idea. But what if Gale Entertainment finds a male artist with a good reputation and we can't find anything against him?"
Jiang Youli smiled dismissively and said, "How many of these young idols nowadays can stay clean and not have some dark history? In order to seize the initiative, Gale Entertainment will definitely be eager for quick success and won't spend time carefully selecting the role of the male lead. As long as I have someone pull some strings behind the scenes, we can make the male lead they choose drop a massive scandal."
Her confident demeanor was always so radiant. Every time Qi Huan looked at her, he fell deeper into his admiration and infatuation with her.
"I heard that Gale Entertainment spent a lot of money poaching quite a few people from Starlight Entertainment. Your company should be short-handed right now. Do you need my help?"
"No need, I've already arranged the personnel," Jiang Youli waved her hand and said. "They are all top-notch. Whether it's filming or promotion, they can handle it with ease. I dare say that The Ambition of Qingyun will absolutely be the most perfect hit show of the last ten years."
Qi Huan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "So confident?"
Jiang Youli lifted her chin, revealing a brilliant smile, "I never fight a battle I can't win. Not only will I win, but I will win beautifully."
Qi Huan picked up the signature farmhouse brewed rice wine from the Land of Rice and poured a glass for himself and Jiang Youli.
Then, he raised his glass and smiled joyfully, "Then let me wish Little Li'er victory on the first try in advance."
Jiang Youli also raised her glass and clinked it against his, "Alright!"
...
Duan Jinghan followed Qi An'an to the hospital. Just as he was about to register at the self-service payment machine, he suddenly heard Qi An'an say, "I'm fine now. I don't need a checkup, and I don't need you to compensate me anymore."
Duan Jinghan was taken aback, then grew angry, "Are you messing with me!"
Qi An'an said, "Isn't it a good thing that I'm saving you money by not getting a checkup! How much money can you make delivering takeout to pay me back? Don't bite the hand that feeds you!"
Duan Jinghan held back his temper, "Whatever you say! Since you're not getting checked, I'm leaving!"
If he went back now, he might still be able to catch Jiang Youli.
Thinking this, he turned to leave the hospital, took out his phone, and dialed Jiang Youli's new number.
Suddenly, a ringtone sounded from behind.
Qi An'an immediately turned around and pretended to answer a call, "Hello, Brother Huan, oh, I'm fine, don't worry. What? The meet-and-greet is already over? You and cousin-in-law went back. Okay, got it."
Duan Jinghan frowned.
The call to Jiang Youli went unanswered for a long time. Just as he was feeling puzzled, the call was disconnected.
It seemed Jiang Youli truly had no desire to pay him any attention.
Duan Jinghan lowered his phone. He had sworn to give up on Jiang Youli, but he still couldn't get her out of his head.
In the end, he couldn't resist sending her a message.
[Jiang Youli, I just can't let you go. I've thought it through. I don't need to be your main guy, I'm willing to be your side piece! It doesn't matter if you never marry me, or even if you want to marry Qi Huan. Let me be your lover! Just give me one day a week! A woman as incredible as you shouldn't be tied down to just one man!]
