Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying-Chapter 175 - 174: Should We Invest in President Yang in Advance?
Chapter 175: Chapter 174: Should We Invest in President Yang in Advance?
“Sorry, but your temperament doesn’t quite match our film,”
“Hmm~ Thank you, teachers, for this opportunity. Here’s my business card. If there are any other films, you can contact me. I’m available anytime for auditions.”
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
The girl from the Central Academy of Drama, Tong Xiaoman, politely distributed her business card to everyone before leaving.
“Look at Xiaoman… her voice is so soft and sweet. How lovely.”
Seeing Xiaoman reminded Yang Genshuo and Guo Xiaozhi of their own verdant university days. Girls like her were definitely the beauty of their department or their school.
Xu Lingyue was caught drinking with an expression of speechlessness.
“It’s just a few sips of your wine… Such a big jar of it. You couldn’t finish it even after shooting ten promotional films. How stingy! Humph~”
The main reason was that the more she drank, the better it tasted, and she simply couldn’t stop.
“Alright, then Miss Xu will shoot the promotional film for us.”
Ultimately, Yang Genshuo, with no other option, chose Xu Lingyue, the third-tier actress who showed no respect for her boss at all.
The salary had already been discussed with her agent, Sister Zhao—it was 300,000.
That was the market rate for a third-tier actress, neither more nor less.
After all, for a less well-known actress like Xu Lingyue, appearing in a TV episode would earn her only about 50,000 yuan. This was equivalent to what she would make from six episodes.
In practice, the workload was only as much as one episode of a TV series, the main purpose being to utilize her commercial image.
Not to mention, she wouldn’t have to follow the crew around for publicity; it was a one-off deal.
The production team struck while the iron was hot and wrapped everything up in a day.
The next evening.
To celebrate wrapping up the promotional film for You Xianqi Winery, Guo Xiaozhi arranged for a banquet celebration for everyone.
With the approval of Yang Genshuo, the rest of the Spiritual Wine was shared among all attendees.
For ordinary people, this was an extraordinary treat, but for Yang Genshuo… he could get his hands on a lot of it every day.
It was worth about five Grain Avoidance Cakes.
The Yang Family had not only established a strong foothold in the Fierce Sun Dynasty, but Yang Shi had also become the Deputy Sect Master of Xuan Stone Sect. Next… It wouldn’t be difficult for the Yang Family to earn Spirit Stones.
Additionally… seeing the joy and laughter of so many people also lifted some of the gloom in Yang Genshuo’s heart.
He was a normal person in need of social interactions to spice up his life.
Always staying cooped up at home playing games can be exhausting.
Even Xu Lingyue, who usually maintained quite a haughty demeanor, seemed much more agreeable at the moment.
“Come on, let’s toast to Boss Yang! Wishing our Star Drunken Dream wine a smashing success, a blockbuster hit!”
Agent Sister Zhao was good at making pleasant remarks, frequently lifting her glass to liven up the mood.
Guo Xiaozhi immediately chimed in, “Definitely a hit! Have you all tasted it? Is there anything better? How about Maotai? No way, not even close!”
Fang Wei: “No comparison at all! Maotai is just like a little brother. Not even worthy to carry shoes for our Star Drunken Dream! I’ll drink to that!”
Xu Lingyue also reflected, “Even someone like me who doesn’t like drinking took a few sips… Your factory’s new product is really good.”
Yang Genshuo: “Let’s not just have a few sips now… You drank more than just a few during the shoot, right?”
Xu Lingyue’s face turned slightly red.
“That was to… to get the right feeling, all for the sake of the film, my devotion to the craft! But no matter what, I think your wine will definitely be a hot seller. At least among my female friends… I’ll definitely recommend it.”
Perhaps a bit embarrassed from drinking too much, Xu Lingyue let her guard down and showed her true personality.
Sister Zhao laughed, “Yeah, yeah~ If it becomes a hit, don’t forget about our Lingyue when the factory is looking for a spokesperson. She’s the perfect match for Boss Yang’s You Xianqi Winery—just like a custom fit~”
“By the way, Boss Yang looks so young, about the same age as our Lingyue, right? Such youthful accomplishments! Are you… married yet?”
Hearing this, Xu Lingyue pretended to be drinking, but her ears pricked up, ready to listen closely to this juicy gossip.
“Heh~ Not yet. But I’m quite a bit older than Lingyue… I’m 30 this year.”
“You’re 30!?”
Xu Lingyue almost spat out her drink, pointing at Yang Genshuo with a look of disbelief.
“You think you’re Lin Zhiying?”
“I just regularly practice martial arts, which is probably why I look younger,” Yang Genshuo shrugged.
The twisted pomegranate tree in the yard can vouch for me.
Of course, I did consume a tiny bit of Immortal Pill.
But achieving my physique today is mostly due to my own efforts!
Xu Lingyue subtly glanced at the muscles under Yang Genshuo’s short sleeves:
“It shows… You do take good care of yourself. Your skin seems even better than mine.”
The dinner arranged by the director ended up with Yang Genshuo sitting next to Xu Lingyue.
Xu Lingyue reached out her hand and leaned it on Yang Genshuo’s.
“Look, your skin is even softer than mine~ If you became an actor, you’d definitely have opportunities… Rich ladies would love your type.”
Her tender green hand, with long fingers, rested on Yang Genshuo’s, and he could even feel the scent of a young girl and the smoothness of her skin.
“Heh heh~ I think I’ll leave the opportunities to the young hunks. Look at the color of your nails; it seems a bit off.”
“Ah? That’s because I had a manicure before…”
“No, no, no, it’s about your qi and blood. My family comes from a long line of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners; let me take a look for you.”
“Really? I’ve been feeling like my sleep hasn’t been great lately.”
Yang Genshuo took her hand in his, and with his other hand, he began to take her pulse.
“Mm… Mm… Hmm~ The deficiency in qi and blood is causing emotional irritability. I’ll bring you some Blood Building and Qi Boosting Powder from my home later; a little boost and you’ll be fine.”
Yang Genshuo fondled Xu Lingyue’s soft, delicate hand for a while, feeling quite comfortable.
Xu Lingyue nodded in agreement, “Yeah! I’ve been feeling emotionally off lately…”
Yang Genshuo chuckled to himself.
Women, whether sick or not, you can’t go wrong with blood tonics.
The dinner ended with everyone thoroughly enjoying themselves thanks to more than half a jar of Spiritual Wine.
Everyone who tasted Star Drunken Dream thought the wine was sure to be a hit.
They were extremely confident about the future of You Xianqi Winery.
Sister Zhao was effervescent all night, feeling like she had stumbled upon good fortune, having found such a promising startup company for Xu Lingyue.
When the gathering ended, Xu Lingyue was slightly tipsy with glazed eyes.
She leaned on Yang Genshuo’s shoulder, speaking in a coquettish tone.
“President Yang~ do you have more of this wine?”
“Of course, how could I not have it when I’m selling it?” Yang Genshuo, a frequent drinker, was hardly affected, just slightly tipsy.
“Let’s collaborate, give me a few jars; I want them for myself because I really like it. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this… comfortable.”
Yang Genshuo looked surprised.
“Give you some? A few jars? Do you realize what you’re saying!”
“I’m selling this wine for 500,000 a jar!”
“Heh heh~ Dream on!”
Seeing Xu Lingyue baffled by his retort, Yang Genshuo left feeling utterly pleased.
That’s for being late!
Sister Zhao helped Xu Lingyue into the car.
She said earnestly, “Lingyue, what do you think of President Yang?”
“Low-class!” Xu Lingyue clenched her fist.
“He’s just joking with you, don’t take it seriously…”
“Hmph~ To actually call me low-class! No one has ever said that about me before! What wine sells for 500,000, huh! Annoying!”
“President Yang is capable… He can really sell his wine for that price.”
Sister Zhao was no newbie like Xu Lingyue; she had attended various drinking parties and was extremely knowledgeable about alcohol, including the top domestic brands favored by the big directors and stars, which cost tens of thousands per bottle.
But?
They couldn’t compare to Star Drunken Dream.
The wine was definitely going to have its place among the upper circles in the future!
“Someone would buy it for 500,000? They must be insane, right?”
“There’s no shortage of rich folks; the real fear is that he won’t be able to keep up with demand!”
“That means his factory is going to make a lot of money in the future…”
“So, do you want to invest in President Yang early? Get the endorsement deal for You Xianqi Winery. If you don’t invest now, later… you might not even get the chance.”
“Ah? Me?”
…
Late at night, after returning to the small courtyard, Yang Genshuo received a call from Xu Lingyue.
“President Yang… I… Can I come over to get that Qi Blood Powder now?”
