Let s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 39: Everyone’s Idol (9)

Editor: Atlas Studios

Gao Xueyun was hospitalized. Although she was not hurt badly, she would not be able to be discharged anytime soon.

As Chuzheng was involved in the incident, she was called to record her statement. However, she did not do anything so even if she had made a move on Gao Xueyun, it was purely for personal defense.

Gao Xueyun was the one driving the car yet she was also the one who knocked into the utility pole.

The utility pole falling down could only be considered as a car accident.

Gao Xueyun could not find a reason for the police to capture Chuzheng and hence, could only blame herself for being unlucky.

‘Damn it!’

Gao Xueyun was making a ruckus in her hospital ward and looked so scary that her assistant beside her did not even dare to breathe.

“Go and investigate, who is that wretch?!” berated Gao Xueyun to her assistant.

The assistant replied with a few quick yeses and took the chance to leave the ward.

As the police had left some information behind when they were taking Chuzheng’s statement, her assistant was quickly able to investigate and get Chuzheng’s details.

Gao Xueyun flipped the document and gave a few scoffs.

“A person like her who takes on walk-on roles dares to bump heads with me?” ‘I almost forgot that Su Jiu. She’s even together with Su Jiu.’

‘I will definitely not let her off!’

‘Gu Chuzheng, is it?’

‘Just you wait!’

“Aiyo… it’s so painful! Get the doctor here! Call the doctor!”

The assistant broke into a cold sweat and quickly ran out to call the doctor to cool Gao Xueyun’s anger.

On the other hand,

“Hi, may I know if you are Mr. Su Jiu?”

Su Jiu looked at the formally-dressed man—who was wearing a suit, leather boots, and golden-framed glasses—before him and felt that it was a little strange, but he still obediently nodded his head. “Yes.”

“Nice to meet you, I am Pei Yu. From today onwards, I will be your manager.

Su Jiu froze as his face was written with suspicion and hesitation. “Manager? The company changed my manager?”

‘The name, Pei Yu, sounds a little familiar…’ Su Jiu thought for a while but nothing came up to his mind.

Pei Yu adjusted his spectacles. “I am not from Jewel Entertainment.”

Su Jiu was even more confused. He furrowed his eyebrows and warily asked, “Then, you are?”

Pei Yu gave him a polite smile. “Does Mr. Su not plan to invite me in?”

Su Jiu hesitated before getting out of the way. “Please come in.”

Pei Yu observed his room and thought in his heart. ‘I have never managed such a poor artiste before.’

“I have seen your works before and feel that your acting was very fresh. If it wasn’t because Jewel Entertainment didn’t give you ample opportunities to shine, you would have blown up the whole of China by now.”

Pei Yu found a place to sit.

Su Jiu poured him a glass of water and gave a helpless laugh. “I don’t have power nor backing, what can I do?”

Pei Yu did not deny him.

This was a reality.

“I have a question that I want to ask Mr. Su.”

Su Jiu nodded his head.

“Why do you want to enter the entertainment industry?”

Su Jiu’s eyelashes slightly trembled and his eyes met Pei Yu’s eyes. He slowly said, “Because I love acting.”

It was his dream.

It’s a pity that…

His dream could not escape the cruel reality.

There was a small glimmer in the young man’s eyes.

It was a sign of his determination and belief in his dream.

Pei Yu seemed to be satisfied with his answer and reached his hand out. “In that case, I look forward to working with you.”

Su Jiu did not move. “Mr. Pei, I am an artiste under Jewel Entertainment.” His contract still had a good couple of years till it ended yet by the time his contracts ended, he would not have a chance to make a comeback anymore.

“I have already asked a lawyer to terminate your contract with Jewel Entertainment.” Pei Yu took no notice of Su Jiu and retracted his hand. “You don’t have to worry about this. There will be a professional team to guide you.”

“…why?”

Why did such a good thing happen to him?

“You are worth it.” Pei Yu said, “Right now, all you need to do is to make a choice. Follow me and I will make sure you will blow up the whole of China. Reject me and I will take it as I have never come here before.”

Su Jiu gripped his hands tightly.

“You have already sent a lawyer to Jewel Entertainment. Are you betting that I wouldn’t reject you?”

Pei Yu gave him a faint smile and looked like a sly old fox who already had the victory in his hands.

Su Jiu’s took a deep breath. He could not reject such a good chance.

Pei Yu took out a document and pushed it over to Su Jiu’s side. “This is the contract and if there’s anything you don’t like, we can still change it.”

Su Jiu quickly scanned the contents in the contract. Every line and condition was to his benefit. This kind of contract would never appear in an industry like this.

“Mr. Pei, may I ask who… told you to come here?”

“Mr. Su, regarding that, when you see my boss, you will naturally understand.”

Su Jiu’s heart took a dip. “If I sign this contract, would your boss tell me to do something against my will?”

Pei Yu guaranteed “No, you can be sure of that.”

Su Jiu gripped the document tightly as he was in two minds. This opportunity that was right before him…

He decided to take a gamble. If he lost, he would just be jumping from Jewel Entertainment into another trap. He had nothing to lose. But if he won the bet…

Su Jiu raised his slender fingers to take the pen and signed his name on the contract.

The two words Su Jiu was written cursively yet was bold and sharp. It looked very matching with the lovely Su Jiu.

Pei Yu stared at Su Jiu’s signature for a few seconds before reaching his hand out again. “I look forward to working with you.”

The young man said in a soft voice, “I will trouble you from now on, Mr. Pei.”

“You can just call me Brother Yu. This is your schedule and you can take a look at it. The new condominium will be ready in a couple of days so you can move in later. Please pack your belongings and I will bring someone to move your stuff over when the time is ready.”

Su Jiu was surprised.

This had definitely been planned for a long time.

On the other hand, Chuzheng was busy with acting. As she had invested in the drama, the production team had added a few more things and their expectations had gone up by a lot.

These few days, Liu Manman was surprisingly quiet and always left after she was done with her acting scenes.

She did not come to disturb Chuzheng and Chuzheng was also too lazy to find trouble for her.

[Main mission: Please acquire a company in ten days.]

Chuzheng was speechless.

‘Are we going to throw all our money in one place and purchase the company?’

[Yes, we are putting all our money in one place. The more money the better! Besides, we are not short of money! Good luck, Little miss!]

Chuzheng was speechless.

It was not that easy to acquire a company. Chuzheng decided to find a team to assist her. This way, it would be less troublesome.

By the time Chuzheng had found a capable team, three days had already passed.

Yet, Pei Yu called Chuzheng at this moment.

“Miss Gu, Jewel Entertainment has asked for a high price for the early termination fee. They seem to have another contract in their hands and I suspect that they have forged the contract, but I don’t have evidence.”

“How much?”

“80 million dollars.”

A termination fee of 80 million dollars… Although other artistes could have it higher, for an unpopular artiste who was hidden by their company and was a bit-role actor, this price was really considered to be sky-high.

Chuzheng coldly asked, “Jewel Entertainment, is it?”

“Yes…” ‘Why does her tone sound a little weird?’

Chuzheng put down the phone and turned around to face her newly found team. “Acquire Jewel Entertainment.”

The team leader:

‘No, I mean boss, we weren’t talking about Jewel Entertainment just now?’

‘And it’s Jewel Entertainment! They are developing well so how can we acquire it?’

[Little miss, actually we can just spend, we have money.]said King in a weak tone of voice.

“Troublesome.” ‘It would be better if everything can be settled in one move.’

[…]King did not dare to refute her as she was afraid that her Little Miss’ next sentence would be ‘It would be better if we can just kill them’.

“It would be better if we can just kill them.”

[…]’I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!’

‘What’s so bad about spending money?’

‘With money, we can do whatever we want!’

‘I really wish I can switch to another Little miss. I heard that the neighboring Little Miss is gentle, kind and can spend money well.’

‘I really want a Little miss like that.’
