Chapter 56(1/2)
: The gang
Compared with Shenjia and merchants, Lu's Group is slightly smaller in scale, but it can be regarded as a large enterprise with a range of options in Jiangcheng.
The three families are in a three-legged state of harmony, restraining each other, and there are cooperation and competition.
The Shen family has only one son and one daughter. The son is the best actor. The daughter is not good at it. Fortunately, the head of the family Shen Sushan is in good health and can independently support the development of the entire enterprise.
The business son is good, so Shangyan can retire early and enjoy a happy life.
The Lu family has many children, and they have three children and an illegitimate child. They are all sons, but the three sons are not good at it. The younger son is not doing his job all day long and follows the drama troupe to perform around the country, knowing nothing about business. The eldest and second brother are irritable and greedy for power. The two divide the group's enterprises and plot against each other and suspicious of each other, which leads to the group's split. The group's directors and employees have also become two distinct factions.
The head of the Lu family is really the first and the two big ones. The country that has been built with great effort is about to be destroyed by two incompetent evil sons.
Even though Lu Wuque was talking about irreconcilable with the Shang group, his two brothers who had been fighting all day long would not take it seriously at all. They firmly adhere to the principle of "to calm the country before fighting foreign countries", and they all clearly wanted to kill the other party first.
Therefore, Shang Jie didn't need to take this matter seriously. What he is more worried about now is that Lu Wuque would become curious about Linchuan.
Lu Linchuan was raised in a business since childhood. Except for the head of the Lu family, there was no other person in the Lu family who knew about it. They all thought that this illegitimate child, who was not interested, might have died outside.
In the business world, Shang Jie has never been a good person. He is firm in mind and has a sharp means, has a tough style and a cruel and vicious heart.
He and Linchuan were playing a big game very early. Now the Lu family's industry is in a mess, its financial assets are getting worse and worse, and its stock price is also falling wildly. It is time to take advantage of the situation.
If we can take the opportunity to acquire assets under Jingtun Lu's Enterprise, it will be beneficial to Shang's Group without any harm.
This is also the best time for Linchuan to take revenge. He wants to return all the insults he has suffered in the past.
Shang Jie is now dealing with the two sons of the Lu Group. Both sons attempt to use Shang Jie's hands to deal with the other, so they treat him as a guest of honor.
The current situation is absolutely beneficial to Shangjie. Linchuan, as his right-hand man, often contacts people within the Lu Group and has a very good relationship.
But at this critical moment, Shang Jie was a little angry when he caused this incident, and of course Linchuan felt uncomfortable.
He liked Mingjin, which was something he could not control at all. He intended to celebrate her birthday. Everything that happened yesterday was completely unpredictable.
Jiang Xingxing had no idea about the business plan of the two men. After her vacation, she began to be busy with various announcement activities arranged by the company, and at the same time took over a large-scale palace drama "Fengluan".
For Jiang Xingxing, the palace drama is a relatively handy drama. After all, her pioneering work "The Palace Secret of the Eunuchs"...
Forget it, it’s better not to mention history.
In short, Jiang Xingxing was very happy to be able to take over this drama. The routines of the palace drama were actually similar. In the previous dynasty's power struggle and the palace fighting in the harem, the heroine's inspirational route almost formed a fixed pattern.
The beautiful girl entered the palace and the Shanggong Bureau tried her best, showing her sharpness, and was appreciated by higher-level female officials and even concubines. She was even more favored by the emperor because of her halo of the heroine, which combines wisdom and beauty.
Later, he was forced to get involved in the battle between concubines and began to help the White Lotus concubine compete for favor. He succeeded repeatedly, and won the favor of the emperor even more, and became a thorn in the eyes of concubines in the harem.
So he was framed by someone and entered Xinzheku for labor reform. He was finally upgraded and took the position of concubine or even the position of subordinate.
The routine is set, but the plot is very different.
This drama is not as heavy as the previous "City of Daylight" and "Lie of the Loess". The plot is relaxed, so Jiang Xingxing is also happy to act. A simple plot does not require too many complicated emotions, she can handle it.
As long as the protagonist's acting skills are online, no matter how mentally retarded the plot is, he can actually save him.
What's more, the script of "Fengluan" was written by the current well-known Qing Palace drama screenwriter, and the plot is not weak.
Just looking at the script and cast, you will know that this drama will definitely become a gold-selling market for money.
While Jiang Xingxing was busy filming, Shang Jie's mother Mei Yu received a call from Shen's wife Fan Yazhen, asking her to have afternoon tea together this afternoon.
The two Shen and Shang families have always had a good relationship, and their wives often go around and make an appointment with afternoon tea or to watch dramas and musicals.
Fan Yazhen often asks Mei Yu that she hopes that the children of the two families can have more contact and contact. How great it would be if they can achieve good things in the future and become children and in-laws.
Of course, Mei Yu just smiled and said that it is no longer as much as the matchmaker’s words in the past. Children have their own ideas, and parents are not going to interfere too much, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
Whenever Fan Yazhen mentioned the matter of her children and in-laws, Mei Yu would use Tai Chi to go around. In the past, it was because she really didn't like the Shen family's willful and willful lady.
Now that his son is already married, it is even more impossible for her to agree to this matter.
Of course, the matter of Shang Jie's marriage was not announced to the public, so she couldn't say it too clearly.
For afternoon tea today, Fan Yazhen mentioned this matter to Mrs. Mei Yu again, saying that she hoped that the two children would have an appointment for dinner with the help of the two parents.
"I remember when Shang Jie was a child, he didn't have many friends. Niannian also liked to chase Shang Jie at that time. She would go wherever he went. Not to mention how clingy he was, Shang Jie also liked Niannian very much, and he always said that he would marry Niannian as his wife in the future."
When Fan Yazhen talked about the child's childhood, she couldn't stop smiling in her eyes.
Mei Yu took a sip of hot tea and said awkwardly: "The child is young and has no sense of speaking, so there is no need to take it seriously."
"Of course, my child's jokes will not be taken seriously. You see, we have been studying abroad for so many years and have no contact with Shang Jie, so we have become unfamiliar.
Now that the child is older, his face has become thinner. If this continues, the relationship between the two families will fade? As I said, this kind of thing requires us adults to push it. The children are familiar with each other and whether they like it or not, how to develop depends on their own meaning."
Fan Yazhen had already lowered her posture and was talking about this to Mei Yu. If Mei Yu refused again, she would really not give her face.
After struggling for a long time, Mei Yu still reluctantly agreed.
Of course, it cannot be said that the son is already married, after all, it is related to the development of his daughter-in-law's career.
She couldn't say that she would reject Fan Yazhen, and she always had to take into account the face of her wife of the Shen family. Although she didn't like Chen Niannian, the peaceful relationship between the two families still needed to be maintained.
So after all, this matter must be solved by Shang Jie.
Mei Yu called Shang Jie in great difficulty and told him about this. As a son, Shang Jie understood his mother very much. It didn't matter if he just told her about this matter. Then he refused and would be over.
...
In the costume drama "Fengluan", Jiang Xingxing plays the heroine A Luan. With her intelligence and wisdom, she gradually goes from being a show-girl to becoming a concubine who is the most favored in the harem, and the emperor's actor is Chen Chuyan.
In fact, the star who signed the male lead with the crew at the beginning was not Chen Chuyan. However, due to the conflict of schedule arrangements, the male star breached the contract. Now the TV series is about to start filming, and the male lead is vacant, and there is no suitable male actor to play the male lead. Generally, male stars with status must make an appointment for negotiation at least half a year in advance.
So as the filming date of this drama was delayed indefinitely, Chen Chuyan's agent suddenly came up and said that Chen Chuyan was willing to play the male lead in "Fengluan". This was an unexpected surprise for the entire crew.
A male star of the best actor like Chen Chuyan was not afraid to invite him before, but he actually took the initiative to ask for the male lead. This is incredible!
Chen Chuyan also made it very clear that this was help between friends. He and Jiang Xingxing were good friends, so the salary fee would be paid according to the previous male lead standard.
Jiang Xingxing was very grateful to Chen Chuyan for his help. If it weren't for him, this drama might have been postponed indefinitely.
She really likes acting in costume dramas, and the protagonist speaks in a tone, which is very interesting.
In the play where A Luan and the Emperor first met, Jiang Xingxing and Shen Chuyan had the first rivalry. There was no doubt that the two cooperated very well and the completion was very high. After the filming, the director praised it.
Calculate by age, Chen Chuyan is several years old when Chang Jiang Xingxing is about to be aged, but he doesn't look old at all. Perhaps this is the magical part of the entertainment industry.
Time, the pig-killing knife, seems to have no effect in this circle.
Jiang Xingxing looked at his appearance up close. He had beautiful and narrow double eyelid eyes, dark brown eyes, clear and bright, with high nose bridge, white and smooth skin, and a thin lips that looked extremely sexy. No one could help but want to kiss him.
He was wearing ancient costumes like a man walking out of a painting, so beautiful that he was beyond words.
Chen Chuyan noticed that Jiang Xingxing was looking at him: "What are you looking at?"
"You look good."
Jiang Xingxing said: "No wonder your fans always shout, 'I will protect my beauty and prosperity'!"
Chen Chuyan smiled and said nothing.
"Last time I came to your birthday party, was your sister unhappy?"
Jiang Xingxing asked again.
"What can she be upset?"
Chen Chuyan said, "This is my own business, she can't control it."
"That's good."
"But my parents really like you. They said a few days ago that I asked me to invite you to have dinner at home."
"It's not suitable for this."
"Of course, I'll help you reject it."
Chen Chuyan smiled and said, "But sometimes I really wonder what would happen if you were my sister?"
Jiang Xingxing raised his eyebrows: "How could he have such an idea?"
"I don't know either."
Chen Chuyan sighed slightly: "Niannian really... Sometimes I really feel that she doesn't look like my sister. Where did that kind and gentle sister when she was a child go? Why did she become like this over the years?"
This was the first time Chen Chuyan opened his heart and said such things to Jiang Xingxing. Jiang Xingxing comforted him and said, "No matter what, blood ties cannot be abandoned. She is still your sister. Even if you have a bad temper, you should tolerate her more."
"As my brother, of course I should tolerate her, but I just...it's hard to like her like I was when I was a child."
Jiang Xingxing gently patted Chen Chuyan on the shoulder: "Don't think about it randomly. I used to hear you complain about what trouble she caused again, but I haven't heard you talk about it again these days."
Chen Chuyan showed a disdainful expression on his face: "She went shopping in Hong Kong recently. Her mother arranged a blind date for her and bought a lot of brand-name luxury goods back."
"Blind date?"
Jiang Xingxing was surprised: "Does a family like yours still need a blind date?"
"Of course, commercial marriages can be said to be bluntly integrated and mergers of capital."
Chen Chuyan said: "But I don't really want her to be with that person. I heard that he is not easy to get along with, and with Chen Niannian's personality, being with him may make a fuss in the future."
Jiang Xingxing asked curiously: "Who are you talking about?"
"You should have heard of the Shangshang Group's President."
