Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 719 - 266: Yang Mi Wants to Return to the Entertainment Industry
The next day.
Sun Dasheng, busy teasing the secretary in the office, received a phone call.
Then hurriedly left.
....
"What’s going on? What kind of trouble is brewing this time?" Staring at the woman in front of him, Sun Dasheng immediately felt a headache coming on.
Women in the entertainment industry are best left untouched.
They bring a pile of trouble.
He didn’t know before.
Now, he’s clearly and thoroughly aware.
Yang Mi, pregnant, clung to his arm and acted cute: "Just this once, okay? I’m not asking for myself, but for the security of the child in my belly."
What did she want?
To Sun Dasheng, it wasn’t something particularly difficult to handle.
But for her, it was very hard.
She wanted a ticket, an entry pass.
Seeing her man silent, she began to play the pity card.
"Before, for a bit of freedom, I broke away from Rongxinda and started on my own, not expecting that after fighting tooth and nail for over a decade, finally winning against the capitalists in a profit-sharing deal and getting the company listed, I’d end up being kicked out empty-handed. And even the top star Dilraba that I single-handedly brought into the spotlight, I couldn’t take with me."
Sun Dasheng curled his lip, "Weren’t you always the clever one? How did you fail to understand those around you, only to be plotted against by your own manager and assistant?"
This point, he had understood before.
From an outsider’s perspective, Yang Mi, hailed as a little fox in the circle, let down all defenses against those around her, fully focused on the industry, entrusting the rear to people she trusted, only to be betrayed by the closest people when interests were at stake.
It was that single betrayal that made her hand over the company she had fought to get listed.
One must know, this company relied entirely on her efforts.
In other words, she was the company’s biggest net asset before.
Unexpectedly, when the fruit of fortune finally came, she couldn’t reap the benefits herself.
Upon hearing Sun Dasheng’s words, Yang Mi was overwhelmed with sorrow, "How was I to know they would betray me... I was sincerely treating them well, only to receive outright betrayal in the end."
Seeing her cry, Sun Dasheng was at a loss, having no choice but to comfort her: "You’re pregnant, don’t cry; it’s not good for the baby."
"Then promise me what I asked for."
"Alright, alright, I promise."
Her request wasn’t excessive, Sun Dasheng just wanted to casually tease her earlier, make her remember not to be so naive.
"Then make the call now."
"Alright, sit tight."
Sun Dasheng took out his phone and made a call.
Before long, the matter was settled.
"All set, right? Take some time in the next couple of days to sign the contract, transfer the money, and it will be done."
"Just like that?" Although Yang Mi knew he had influence, she didn’t expect it to be this substantial.
She wanted shares in the largest listed private entertainment company in the country, Light Media.
She’s using her own money, losing her shares when leaving Jiaxing, but she still has quite a bit of cash.
As for the yet-to-be-listed, shadowing the number one entertainment company’s title, Star Point Media, she’s not daring to covet that.
Because she knows this company is one of the main subsidiaries of the man beside her; the parent company’s investment in this company alone is in the trillions, even if it remains a privately held company before listing.
Even if she has some cash, she couldn’t possibly afford it when they go public.
Not enough to catch their eye, you know?
As for the thought of getting it for free, if she said it didn’t cross her mind, it would be a lie.
But the time isn’t right, she clearly knows her worth and position now.
For someone who’s been in the entertainment industry for over a decade and remained a top star, she understands her value and her place.
Unlike the naive female leads in domineering CEO dramas.
Those domineering CEO shows are getting more nonsensical - the previous female leads were at least Pure Ice and Jade fresh types, now they’ve turned into divorced, abortion-having, older women.
Bosses’ financial conditions keep improving, but the material they consume keeps getting worse.
"Do you have enough money?" Sun Dasheng asked, touching her round belly.
Though several big entertainment companies’ stock values have dwindled following the internet tycoons’ plunges, Light Media, as the leader, still boasts a market value in the hundreds of billions, not to be underestimated.
As for the once flamboyantly successful Huayi Brothers, their current market cap isn’t a tenth of its peak, a case of adding insult to injury.
They now seem to be in the same league as Yang Mi’s previous company.
"Though they kicked me out of the company, they still gave me money, or else I wouldn’t let them off easily. If I obstructed them, even if they got the company, I could sabotage it."
Yang Mi said with pride.
"So, it was a peaceful separation for you?"
"Sort of, left with billions after the exit, so don’t worry, I only want you to help me get a ticket, cash now is the most useless thing to me."
Though it sounds a bit pretentious, it’s essentially accurate.
As someone who climbed from an actor at the bottom to a legend in capital, once she’s tasted capital, how could she settle as a little-known actress? 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Her ambition has long been beyond doubt.
And she also has the means to achieve her ambitions, it’s just that she was caught off guard by a betrayal by her closest ones before.
