Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Domestically, the winds are biting cold, while abroad, a gentle breeze is blowing.

Shen Yao appeared on the beach with blue skies and white clouds, wearing a long cotton dress, and enjoyed this rare moment of leisure with her eyes slightly closed.

Footsteps approached; it was Jiang Hanzhou, dressed in a casual shirt and holding a magazine he had just bought from a street vendor.

Jiang Hanzhou casually handed it to Shen Yao, mentioning that there would be a grand fireworks show at the beach tonight. Since the two of them were out enjoying themselves, they decided to wait until after watching the show before returning to the hotel together.

Having been away for some time, Shen Yao put aside various matters in China and immediately felt much more relaxed.

Although Jiang Hanzhou is still busy, it's much less so than in China. For example, when he's out sightseeing today, he rarely checks his phone or replies to messages.

"A magazine? What's in it?" Jiang Hanzhou wouldn't hand Shen Yao something he didn't need for no reason. Shen Yao curiously flipped through the contents and found that it was a fashion magazine.

Well

how to say?

While these clothes are indeed nice, they are not suitable for modern wear, or rather, except for specific occasions, they can only be stored away in the closet.

“This is the direction I’m going to enter next,” Jiang Hanzhou said, rubbing his palms together. He indicated that the entertainment industry is inseparable from some of the resources of the fashion industry. He hadn’t had any clues about this before, but as his funds accumulated, the fashion industry, though somewhat like a suspended lighthouse, was indeed very attractive to people in the entertainment industry.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao tilted her head and looked Jiang Hanzhou up and down, thinking to herself that this guy really couldn't stay still.

Entering the fashion industry is just as difficult as a newcomer trying to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry; this industry is even more complex than the entertainment industry.

Jiang Hanzhou raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that the fashion industry is more complex, which is why it's more lucrative.

Do you really think some people have real fashion sense? It's all built on connections and background.

Jiang Hanzhou's connections and background are not lacking either, which is why he intends to take a chance on this lucrative opportunity in the fashion industry.

The two discussed the fashion content in the magazine. Shen Yao did most of the talking, while Jiang Hanzhou listened attentively. Occasionally, Jiang Hanzhou would add a few words of his own insights. In a way that was almost incomprehensible to ordinary people, the two came up with a rough idea.

Although he still shows some immaturity, if he executes well and leverages the vast capital of the entertainment industry, making money will be a breeze.

'No wonder people in the entertainment industry want to get into the fashion industry,' it turns out that industry is more lucrative.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao felt that the system's words were a bit off. It was true that people in the entertainment industry wanted to make money by entering the fashion industry, but more often they used it as a stepping stone to seek greater fame and fortune.

After all, luxury brands in the fashion industry really make money. Shen Yao considers herself to have some aesthetic sense, but she still finds it hard to appreciate those brands that can easily sell for sky-high prices.

Perhaps this is the difference in mindset? Anyway, Shen Yao may be optimistic, but it's not advisable for her to dive headfirst into it just to make money.

The two stayed by the sea for a while, and only when it got late did they slowly get up and head to an outdoor restaurant not far away for dinner.

The average cost per person here is relatively high, but the food is indeed one of the most famous.

Shen Yao listened to the melodious violin music while eating the dessert in front of her, occasionally turning her head to look at the splashes of water not far away caused by the waves.

The environment here is too comfortable, especially since it's a great place for Chinese tourists.

Before Shen Yao and Jiang Hanzhou had decided on a destination, they consulted Shen Qingshan and Yu Shuhua, a couple who were always traveling and rarely at home. They had an easy way of deciding where to go.

Finally, considering the distance and environmental factors, Shen Yao and Jiang Hanzhou arrived here.

They slept in until they naturally woke up at the hotel every day, then got up and went out for a stroll. Not many people recognized them, and those who did come were all from well-off families. Instead of paying attention to others, they should focus on themselves.

After having their fill of food and drink, the two left the outdoor restaurant and headed to the beach.

Compared to the bustling atmosphere during the day, the beach is a bit cooler at night.

Shen Yao and Jiang Hanzhou strolled along the beach, surrounded by a crowd in the distance. In less than half an hour, a grand fireworks show would take place.

Jiang Hanzhou put down his phone and smiled as he told Shen Yao, who was beside him, some news that they had expected: "Director Zhou You just announced that he will be collaborating with Chunfeng Company to film a trilogy based on ancient mythology."

Trilogy?

Does this mean making three movies?

Director Zhou You, do you have to be so disrespectful to them? Two films that were originally planned to be made together were ruined just like that, and now you're starting collaborations with other companies just as easily.

Tut tut

Shen Yao was not optimistic about Director Zhou You's collaboration with Chunfeng Company on this ancient mythology film. It required special effects, and if the special effects team was not good, it was obvious that the movie would flop.

"Spring Breeze Company, isn't that a company that mainly deals with investments? Why would they choose to cooperate with Director Zhou You?"

Shen Yao realized she had overlooked a question: Was Chunfeng Company reliable?

Jiang Hanzhou couldn't help but chuckle, "Who wouldn't want to make a fortune in this industry?"

Chunfeng Company is indeed the main investment company, but it has a rather complicated internal structure and is also responsible for some projects that are not exactly clean. It has been fined by the authorities several times.

As for why they collaborated with director Zhou You, it's probably not just Chunfeng Company's problem. There were other companies involved, but they all chose to hide behind Chunfeng Company, letting Chunfeng Company take the lead and draw attention to them.

"This subject matter is not easy to film. Zhou You agreed to it probably because of the sky-high base salary and profit sharing offered by the other party."

Jiang Hanzhou took Shen Yao's wrist and stopped talking about their travels. The two of them tacitly stopped talking and walked towards the viewpoint not far away.

The viewpoint is a beach with fine, soft sand that feels very comfortable to walk on.

Shen Yao and Jiang Hanzhou stood on the beach, and then, just a moment later, dazzling and beautiful fireworks suddenly appeared in the sky in front of them.

bang——

As fireworks exploded in front of us, the patterns of fireworks in the sky began to change.

A breeze blew by, and Shen Yao could still smell the faint sulfurous odor in the air.

The fireworks show lasted for about half an hour, and then the final scene of the celestial maiden scattering flowers ended, and the crowd around gradually dispersed.

Shen Yao and Jiang Hanzhou followed the crowd back to the hotel, washed off the dirt, and lay down on the soft bed to fall into a deep sleep.

Life abroad was carefree and comfortable. Shen Yao didn't have to think about anything; she could just relax and enjoy each day.

It wasn't until the temperature in China warmed up and the holiday ended that the two had to take a plane back home from abroad.

Upon exiting the domestic airport, the two were unexpectedly surrounded by reporters.

Shen Yao:......

"Sorry, we just returned to the country and don't know about these things yet," Jiang Hanzhou smiled and stood in front of Shen Yao, then ignored the questions from the media reporters and pulled Shen Yao forward with his head down.

The car waiting outside the airport wasn't far away, and the two only had a chance to talk after they got in the car smoothly.

"Zhou You wasn't working with Chunfeng Company? How come there's a double collaboration?"

Shen Yao clenched her fists, ignoring the system laughing loudly in her mind, and turned to look at Jiang Hanzhou, who was resting with his eyes closed.

"He must have been scammed." But the person who could scam Zhou You must be someone close to him. Otherwise, who would sign a cooperation agreement in Zhou You's name without worrying that Zhou You wouldn't agree to fulfill it?

Hahaha, he got tricked, and it was his little wife who did it.

The system's gloating was too obvious. It couldn't help but laugh when it was surrounded at the airport, and it was still grinning as it got into the car. Shen Yao was helpless.

“Both contracts are still legally binding,” Shen Yao raised her eyebrows, thinking to herself that Director Zhou You shouldn’t be trying to act arrogantly, but rather figuring out how to salvage his reputation.

"Reconcile? How? You're deliberately slapping me in the face!"

At Zhou You's home in Beijing, Zhou You was complaining to his young wife.

Who told me to be so infatuated? I finally married a wife who was half my age, so it's hard not to spoil her in daily life.

This time, because he was willing to spoil her, he was even more willing to clean up the mess after discovering the truth, so he had no choice but to accept the agreement that his wife had signed on his behalf.

"Old Zhou, why are you angry? That company is offering a higher price than Chunfeng Company. We've finally made a name for ourselves in this industry. If we don't seize the time to make money, what will happen to our children in the future?"

The young wife had just given birth to Zhou You's son and was in a fearless state. She wasn't afraid of Zhou You getting angry or throwing a tantrum, and she even had the audacity to explain that she was doing it for the sake of the family.

Besides, the purpose of cooperation is to make money. Otherwise, why would Zhou You unilaterally break up the two collaborative films with Jiang Hanzhou? She had long understood Zhou You's thoughts and wouldn't dare to do such a thing even if she had the guts.

Zhou You: ...

Zhou You pointed to his wife, who was indifferently applying makeup and drawing her eyebrows in front of the dressing mirror, and could only let out a helpless sigh.

Now that things have come to this, all he can do is keep his promise and make the film.

"Keep all that money safe and don't invest it in any random places with other people," Zhou You whispered to his wife before turning and leaving.

The young wife snorted as she watched Zhou You leave, completely unconcerned. After all, she only wanted his money; otherwise, with such an age difference, who would believe it was true love?

She didn't care what Zhou You said. The young wife, having finished her makeup, picked up her newly bought Chanel bag and turned to meet up with her girlfriends for a trip.

You should know that the agreement she signed included an extra kickback from the other party.

Although it was somewhat immoral to sell her own man like that, the young wife didn't care. She now had a lot of extra money and was more financially secure, so she didn't have the mind to worry about anything else.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hanzhou and Shen Yao had already returned to the company.

Everyone in the company knew that the two bosses were returning today, so they placed the flowers they had ordered at the door to welcome them.

As soon as Shen Yao entered the room, she smelled the enticing aroma and quickly waved with a smile.

Unlike their boss, the assistants were busy from the start of the movie's run until it was taken off the screens, and are still working overtime at the company right now.

Fortunately, the boss was supportive and never stingy with bonuses and salaries; otherwise, the assistants would have been ready to jump ship long ago.

"Mr. Shen"

"Is this the project plan for this period of time?"

The assistant nodded in agreement. Some of the films had already been shot, while the rest were waiting for project approval. Since the boss wasn't there, they didn't dare to make a decision on their own.

Shen Yao opened the file and browsed through it, picking out the better ones. "Start the project as soon as possible, and if a suitable candidate is found, finalize the appointment." The company cannot operate without projects. Even during the Chinese New Year period, there will still be good projects being filmed at the film and television base.

"Yes"

The assistant left with the documents and immediately called his subordinates to inform them.

With the return of the two bosses, the company once again started operating efficiently.

Shen Yao couldn't help but open her dusty old novel homepage and slowly type out the content of a new novel.

At this moment, Shen Yao suddenly thought of several small-to-medium-sized film and television dramas that Hongshi Network had previously invested in. However, a quick online search revealed that they had all disappeared without a trace, with no follow-up reports appearing.

Shen Yao:......

Uh

Perhaps there's something she doesn't know about? Red Persimmon Network's previous investments weren't large, and Shen Yao had some suspicions when she was on set.

It's hard to believe that such a small investment could result in such a complete loss; Hongshi Network must have been scammed.

"Author Shen, I wonder if your company has any promising projects recently?"

The leaders of Hongshi Network took the initiative to contact Shen Yao, and their sincere and humble attitude was clearly beyond the normal range.

Shen Yao suddenly realized, and smiled as she named several projects, mostly modern dramas. Since Jiang Hanzhou intended to make a fortune in the fashion industry, if these projects could be matched, it would definitely be a win-win situation.

The leaders of Hongshi Network said apologetically that they also have film and television projects in development, but it would be inappropriate to do it alone. It would be best if the two parties could cooperate.

"Of course, Hongshi Network has many novel IPs, and author Shen is one of them, so he must know the situation," the leader implied, suggesting that if the two parties cooperated, they would give priority to supplying novel IPs for Shen to choose from.

Shen Yao was indeed familiar with Hongshi Network, including the large contracts they had previously offered, which meant that Shen Yao could earn income even without doing anything.

Right now, Hongshi Network has taken the initiative to propose cooperation. Well, actually, as long as they don't cause any trouble, with their large and substantial collection of novel IPs, there shouldn't be any problem with the cooperation.

She smiled and agreed, but Shen Yao mentioned that investment projects needed to be evaluated and screened. Hongshi Network could send the projects it valued to her first. As long as there were no problems, both parties would jointly invest, which could be considered a way to share the risks.

That's right!

That's exactly what the leaders at Hongshi Network meant!

It was a really stupid plan of mine to accidentally plunge right in.

Hongshi Network has lost at least eight or nine figures in total.

Although their investments were mostly in small and medium-sized projects, the sheer number of projects and the fact that none of them were successful meant they ended up in a situation where they lost money whether they bid or not, which led to them being severely reprimanded by their superiors.

With Shen Yao helping to share the burden and manage things, there's at least no need to worry about continuing to lose money. As long as they earn less or barely break even, the newcomer can be considered a success!
