Yuan Xi chuckled and said to Fu Qin, “When does it start the day after tomorrow? I’ll arrange my schedule.”
Fu Qin replied, “It starts at 2 p.m., and there will be a thank-you banquet after the auction.”
Yuan Xi said, “Alright, I can attend.”
Fu Qin smiled at Yuan Xi and said, “We’ve invited quite a lot of people this time, I’ve also invited some models and designers I know in the fashion circle, there are quite a lot of their treasured jewelry and gowns.”
Yuan Xi smiled, “Good.”
Fu Qin looked at Lele in his arms and said, “I think Ruolin seems to recognize people now.”
Yuan Xi looked tenderly at Fu Qin’s daughter in his arms, “Yes, if she doesn’t see me for a few hours, she will cry out of feeling wronged when she sees me. Comforting her a bit, she will smile at me, super cute.”
Fu Qin said, “I kind of envy you, having both a son and a daughter.”
Yuan Xi smiled and said, “You will have them too.”
Fu Qin just gave a faint smile.
After Fu Qin left, Yuan Xi also had to prepare to go to the company, but when she put down Lele, it seemed like Lele sensed her mother was leaving and started whimpering pitifully.
Seeing the baby cry like this, Yuan Xi really found it hard to leave her.
Yuan Xi was now extremely glad that she resumed work just after the baby turned a month old, fearing that she wouldn’t have been able to do it if she had to resume work now.
While Lele was drinking from her bottle, Yuan Xi got into Huo Shiyuan’s car.
Huo Shiyuan, seeing Yuan Xi looking back all the way, said, “I wish you could find it this hard to leave me.”
Yuan Xi lightly laughed at Huo Shiyuan, “How can you be jealous of Lele?”
At the company.
Yuan Xi understood completely why Fang Qin changed her own note to ‘Mi Chen’s number one grievance.’
Mr. Gu continued to curse Mi Yi on Weibo after waking up.
Mi Chen the most handsome: “I even suspect that Destroying Stars is laundering money.”
Mi Yi immediately replied, “Mr. Gu, I can sue you for defamation.”
Mi Chen the most handsome: “Who’s suing who? If it weren’t for the busy court schedule lately, you’d have been in prison just for that data deletion!”
Mi Yi: The one who should be in prison is you! I, Mi Yi, do my business honorably, and yet you and Huo Shiyuan, Yuan Xi tricked away my Mi Chen, not fearing retribution!
Mi Chen the most handsome: “How come Mi Chen has become only yours? I’m also one of the founders. It was your own choice to take six billion and eight hundred million and leave, and it was your choice to sell your shares.”
Yuan Xi found their bickering on Weibo as if it were a chat on WeChat quite absurd.
Many marketing accounts also quickly edited the quarrel between the two billionaires’ founders as though it were a divorced couple fighting.
Mr. Gu even commented on a marketing account, “I’ll never marry in this life, and it’s impossible for me to fancy Mi Yi!”
“Mr. Gu, just admit it, you still have feelings for Mi Yi!”
Mi Yi also replied under this marketing account, “Mr. Gu, a mere pig and cow breeder isn’t worthy to be my ex-husband!”
Mr. Gu was furious in his office.
Zhong Xiaoyi had just entered the office and immediately felt the tension in the air; she cautiously approached Mr. Gu with some documents, “Mr. Gu, these documents need your signature.”
Mr. Gu coldly glanced at Zhong Xiaoyi, “What sort of makeup are you wearing today? You’re so young, why wear makeup at all? The secretary department doesn’t allow heavy makeup, didn’t Special Assistant Wang tell you?”
Zhong Xiaoyi said, “Ah? I’m not wearing makeup, just applied some color-changing lipstick.”
Mr. Gu wondered how she, who had made him wontons late last night upon his return from Jiangye, could have the time to put on makeup so early in the morning.
Mr. Gu glanced at Zhong Xiaoyi, “Light makeup is basic etiquette for a general office secretary, how can you not wear makeup?”
Zhong Xiaoyi now understood why Yuan Xi, despite her high salary, had wanted to resign before, “Then I will go put on makeup right away.”
Gu Hanchen said, “Stop. Why are you putting on makeup during work hours? You should start a meeting with Tina from Forest Pursuit.”
“Yes.”
Yuan Xi was busy all day, and near the end of work, she checked the daily revenue data. Forest Pursuit’s figures had already surpassed Destroying Stars, but Destroying Stars was catching up quickly.
Yuan Xi took a look and found out that Forest Pursuit had a promotion today where buying a new wild boar skin and filling out an address would get you a kilogram of pork.
The cities around Jiang City would get same-day delivery of refrigerated pork via Shunfeng. If it couldn’t be delivered the same day, it would be replaced with half a kilogram of ham products from Mi Chen’s pig farm.
Seeing this, Yuan Xi couldn’t help but think that Gu Hanchen was crazy, but it was effective. Forest Pursuit made it to the top of the trending search once again.
“Hahaha, I can’t cook, but I’m going to buy this skin.”
“Holy crap, it really arrived. Just when we were about to cook dinner, the courier called me. This is insanely fast, Mr. Gu rocks!”
“The new boar skin is 6.6 Yuan each, and the pork must be at least 15 Yuan per kilogram, plus it’s Shunfeng refrigerated. Mr. Gu is being charitable. I’m crying.”
“My mom found out you can get a kilogram of freshly slaughtered pork for 6.6 Yuan, and she made me create an account for her too, majorly to get the pork.”
“When will Mr. Gu start raising chickens so he can give away eggs? My grandma can’t chew meat well. If he gave away eggs, I’d download Forest Pursuit for her too.”
For the first time, Yuan Xi felt she was too old to keep up with the times, but she had to admit that Gu Hanchen’s strategy was really clever, blowing many veteran players away.
Yuan Xi left the building and got into the car that Huo Shiyuan came to pick her up in. She turned to Huo Shiyuan and said, “Gu Hanchen really is… I’m totally convinced.”
Huo Shiyuan gave a faint smile. “Does he have that much pork?”
Yuan Xi smiled, “The scale of the farm Gu Hanchen runs is quite large. Although I’ve never visited, this loss on pork can all be chalked up as marketing expenses. After all, this campaign for Forest Pursuit reached a multimillion advertisement effect, nearly matching the promotion that stars got for competing.”
Huo Shiyuan said, “Do you remember the dinner we had a year ago with Si Chen, where he wanted me to invest in that sci-fi movie?”
Yuan Xi had almost forgotten. At that time, she had just married Huo Shiyuan, and he was somewhat reluctant to invest.
Yuan Xi had read the original Escape from Galaxy and thought it was quite good, and Huo Shiyuan later invested because of her comment.
Huo Shiyuan said, “Escape from Galaxy is releasing during the May Day slot. Do you want to go see the premiere today? It’s in City A.”
Yuan Xi said, “Let’s go see it during May Day. I’ve already promised Lele that I’d come home right after work.”
Huo Shiyuan laughed, “Lele doesn’t understand these things now.”
Yuan Xi smiled and said, “Whether Lele understands or not, I have to keep my promises.”
Hearing Huo Shiyuan talk about the movie, Yuan Xi also started caring about the box office.
She searched online. This year’s May Day slot was fierce, but Escape from Galaxy couldn’t even squeeze into the competition.
The hottest competitors were two movies: a family-friendly ancient comedy, I Am a Genius, and a love story, Peak Encounter of Love, which tells about a woman about to go public with her company. She was swindled by capitalists, and her boyfriend cheated on her with a mistress who was pregnant. The woman, pushed aside by the mistress’s pregnancy, felt disheartened and went traveling, where she met a mysterious jewelry tycoon. Eventually, with the tycoon’s help, she regained her company and his love.
Just looking at the content, it seemed ordinary, but the movie boasted as the most lavish ever, with real luxury items and yachts, and just the released clips smelled of money…
It was a simple story, but because it exposed the lavish lives of the rich, it was highly anticipated, with presales breaking a hundred million.
Yuan Xi looked at the movie details for Peak Encounter of Love and unconsciously thought of Mi Yi…
Yuan Xi checked the producer of Peak Encounter of Love, and indeed, Mi Yi was involved…
The marketing for Peak Encounter of Love was everywhere, epitomizing that the movie was revealing the lives of the wealthy.
It was unclear whether Youzi Film and Television was short of money, but Escape from Galaxy had almost no promotion.
Yuan Xi looked at the cast of Escape from Galaxy; it was mostly newcomers or washed-up old artists, with even the director being a rookie.
Judging from the presale tickets, I Am a Genius and Peak Encounter of Love had already broken one hundred million, while Escape from Galaxy had only ten thousand in presales.
Yuan Xi was worried, “Escape from Galaxy has no promotion. Could your five hundred million really go down the drain?”
