Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Amidst her busy schedule, Shen Yao also had to consider her marriage.

Since Shen Yao is already quite old, and she and Jiang Hanzhou have been together for some time with no conflicts, and marriage would bring them more benefits, neither of them had any reason to refuse, both emotionally and logically.

system:……

'Isn't this a bit too hasty?' It didn't realize how earth-shattering the relationship between the host and Jiang Hanzhou was. Besides, after so long, their interactions seemed rather ordinary. Could they really get married and live together like this?

'What's so hasty? Besides, life is life.' As long as you're not enemies and you're not feeling stifled, what's wrong with getting married?

Feeling that the system was overreacting, Shen Yao raised her hand and touched the top of her head, thinking that there were some things she needed to confirm with Jiang Hanzhou as soon as possible.

"I should have brought this up; I'm sorry, I overlooked it."

Jiang Hanzhou was not opposed to marrying Shen Yao, but he did not expect Shen Yao to bring it up, because during their trip abroad at the beginning of the year, Shen Yao did not show any desire to get married.

Shen Yao smiled and explained that it wasn't Jiang Hanzhou's fault. She had just suddenly thought of it, just like going out for a coffee or a walk in the park when the weather was nice. It was as if getting married was just an ordinary little thing for her.

The two quickly finalized their wedding arrangements, and the next step was to inform their respective families.

Shen Qingshan and Yu Shuhua, a married couple, were still traveling abroad when they heard the commotion and immediately bought tickets to return to China.

They all hoped their daughter could settle down. Although her career was thriving and she could make money, their daughter was still lonely despite being busy all by herself.

"Although Xiao Jiang is also busy, it's better for the two of you to keep each other company than for one person to be alone."

After Yu Shuhua finished speaking with a smile, she took out some items she had bought abroad, all of which were luxury goods. She wasn't interested in them, but her daughter was always traveling, so she had to bring out a few to make a good impression.

Shen Yao:......

Faced with the concern from her biological parents, Shen Yao did not refuse, but accepted it all.

The family of three hadn't spent much time alone together for a long time. Either Shen Qingshan and his wife were busy traveling, or Shen Yao was busy with her career. The only times they could sit down and talk peacefully were during special holidays.

Shen Yao didn't have much affection for Shen Qingshan and his wife, but they were family in this life, so she showed them no less care and love.

Shen Qingshan and his wife became concerned about their wedding. At this point, they were no longer concerned about whether the groom or the bride was in charge, or even that neither of them could take responsibility and leave everything to a relevant company. They would only need to provide manpower, which would save time, effort, and worry, but would cost money.

To show his respect for Shen Yao, Jiang Hanzhou certainly couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

He will be present throughout the entire wedding, and he will personally handle everything.

"Uncle and Aunt, do you see any areas that need improvement or adjustment? Please let me know anytime."

Jiang Hanzhou was humble, after all, it was a joyous occasion for his family, and he had to consider the feelings of the bride's two elders.

"No need, no need, everything is excellent, Xiao Jiang, we'll do it your way," Yu Shuhua said, satisfied with Jiang Hanzhou's design, which was both sophisticated and understatedly luxurious. She knew that both of them worked in the entertainment industry, so it couldn't be too high-profile or too simple. "Is there any problem with your family?"

Yu Shuhua and Shen Qingshan had met Jiang Hanzhou's parents before.

How should I put it? They seemed even more upright than the couple. Even though they maintained a smile while speaking, it still made Yu Shuhua and her husband very uncomfortable.

This is perhaps the aura of someone in a position of power; even if they try to restrain themselves, it cannot be ignored.

Jiang Hanzhou shook his head, "My parents do everything according to our wishes." The Jiang couple didn't get involved in these matters at all.

This is also related to the fact that Jiang Hanzhou was quite independent from a young age.

At least in the eyes of Jiang Hanzhou's parents, nothing they do can change their son's mindset, and after Jiang Hanzhou graduated, he did not use the family's resources to create a career.

In that case, unless the marriage partner is particularly outrageous, Jiang Hanzhou's parents won't be overly concerned about it. Doing so would only damage the relationship between the two parties, like a family elder or younger relative—how embarrassing would that be? They can't bear the shame.

Both sets of parents had no major objections to the marriage, and Jiang Hanzhou and Shen Yao were not the type to meddle.

Once some adjustments are determined, Jiang Hanzhou will make the arrangements quickly.

With the money in place, Shen Yao and Jiang Hanzhou's wedding was a complete success. Almost everyone in the industry attended the wedding banquet, and the wedding gifts alone amounted to eight figures.

That's quite a lot, and these are just the official gifts; the amount given privately would be even more.

Shen Yao was looking through the relevant accounts, her clothes still on.

Jiang Hanzhou was sitting on a chair not far away, drinking water with his head down. He had drunk too much at the hotel. Even though he had arranged for someone to help him drink, there were too many guests, including many important guests who he had to give face to. Jiang Hanzhou had no choice but to bite the bullet and drink.

"No wonder people in the industry like to have lavish weddings," it's definitely profitable.

Although this money will essentially have to be returned, in the entertainment industry, late marriage and childbirth are common, and some people prefer to keep it a secret.

Shen Yao tapped her palms happily, indicating that if she invested this money, she might be able to earn even more.

Jiang Hanzhou couldn't help but smile, his handsome eyebrows curving into a smile. "This is all your private savings, keep it safe."

He wasn't so tasteless as to use wedding gifts for financing. He tugged at his tie and unbuttoned a few buttons on his suit jacket.

With his beautiful collarbone and Adam's apple fully exposed, Jiang Hanzhou licked his lips, stood up, and took off his coat, which reeked of alcohol.

He needed to wash up, especially since he smelled a bit strong all over and would feel uncomfortable sleeping later.

Shen Yao waved her hand, telling Jiang Hanzhou to be careful, while she went to the study, first putting away all the gift money and bills, and then went to the dressing room to change her clothes.

Their current marital home is a large single-level apartment. Compared to the villa at the foot of the mountain, Shen Yao still prefers the bustling city.

Besides, it's quite close to the company; I don't need to drive, I can just walk, which is only a ten-minute walk.

Shen Yao went to another bathroom and took a bath.

Her tired body felt more relaxed than ever before. Shen Yao put on loose pajamas and dried her hair as she returned to her room to sleep and rest.

Jiang Hanzhou was already half-lying on the bed, with a notebook beside him that he was typing away on.

Shen Yao leaned over for a glance, then looked away indifferently.

After all, that's what workaholics are like; they're always busy working.

Shen Yao simply picked up her phone and browsed the messages; many were congratulatory texts.

People who were close to the couple attended the wedding banquet, while those who weren't particularly close also sent red envelopes.

Shen Yao didn't stand on ceremony. She clicked on each message and replied with a few witty remarks. When she met someone she liked, she would arrange a time to discuss a project together.

As the company expanded further, Shen Yao couldn't possibly not bring people back.

Moreover, people who can get Shen Yao's contact information are generally of good character.

"Zhou You didn't come, and the news has already been released in the media. How should we respond?"

Shen Yao smiled and held up the message image that popped up on her phone, showing it to Jiang Hanzhou.

"No need to go back. We still have our honeymoon to go on. Director Zhou should understand."

Jiang Hanzhou put down his notebook, then reached out and pulled Shen Yao into his arms.

“His new project is not progressing well, and the investors, led by Chunfeng Company, are very dissatisfied,” Jiang Hanzhou clenched his fist and grunted, indicating that Zhou You has been having a run of bad luck lately. He didn’t know what was going on, but not only were the actors he hired getting into scandals one after another, his own little wife was also getting into a series of disputes, and the good reputation he had built up with “Rebirth” and “The Amazing Race” was almost ruined.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao raised an eyebrow. "It has nothing to do with you? Could it be that this person did it behind the scenes?"

Jiang Hanzhou raised his arm to show that he was truly innocent; he hadn't even laid a hand on him yet.

Shen Yao:......

"Besides, I wouldn't do it this way," he said. If he was going to do something, he would target Zhou You's reputation directly, rather than the film crew or Zhou You's family.

After all, Zhou You himself has a lot of dark history, so there's no need to be subtle; he can teach the other party a lesson they won't forget.

"Others joining forces?" Who else but those directors who banded together would see Zhou You as a thorn in their side? It's just that Zhou You left too quickly.

After all, Zhou You's presence in the way affects directors who want to make money.

Everyone knows that Zhou You is good at making movies, so doesn't that just make them look bad?

It's important to understand that a director's ability to attract investment is directly related to their skills. Before Zhou You emerged, everyone had a bowl of porridge to drink, but after Zhou You appeared, they were left with only half a bowl of watery rice.

Who can fill their stomachs like this? Besides, I think I'm no worse than Zhou You. It's completely unfair that I've ended up like this!

Jiang Hanzhou nodded in agreement, indicating that these directors were sabotaging each other, and so far only Zhou You was being targeted, so they were still relatively easy to deal with.

At least Zhou You was completely overwhelmed and didn't know how to handle it.

As for Zhou You's investors, they should step in soon to help him resolve his troubles while further reducing the profits he can obtain.

Is this normal practice, akin to profiting from someone's misfortune? Jiang Hanzhou disdains doing it, but that doesn't mean other capitalists are benevolent.

In any case, investment companies led by Chunfeng Company are indeed capable of doing it.

Jiang Hanzhou's words were soon confirmed, and these companies even went further than Jiang Hanzhou said, completely disregarding Zhou You.

Zhou You: ...

Zhou You was so angry that he wanted to go on strike. Ever since winning the award for "Rebirth", he had been enjoying smooth sailing. He had never suffered so much humiliation before.

Moreover, the box office success of "The Amazing Race" will allow him to live off his savings for a while.

The current production team is excellent, and even the series of mishaps cannot shake his confidence.

With a crew and team like that, the film is destined to be another money-making movie, but because of those people, he will lose a portion of his share for no reason.

Zhou You felt a tightness in his chest just thinking about it, but when you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head.

He was not facing the reasonable Jiang Hanzhou, so Zhou You had no way to deal with him.

That's just how people are; when they have a choice, they jump for joy, but when they don't, they bow their heads and accept their fate.

Shen Yao and Jiang Hanzhou had no time to worry about Zhou You. After the two of them went for a walk, they found that apart from a few special projects that had to be suspended, the other projects in the company were progressing steadily and in an orderly manner.

Several films and television dramas produced in collaboration with Hongshi Network have been released one after another.

It was surprisingly good, and the modern drama in it was groundbreaking, directly leading to the sale of many novel IPs of this type.

Hongshi Network has made a lot of money, part of which comes from film and television drama revenue, and another part from the copyright fees it generates.

Red Persimmon Network: ...

Hongshi Network had never seen anything like this before. Just like their investment in "The Road to Stardom," their investment was only the basic novel IP, but the result was that they gained more than the novel IP itself.

Because of these obvious benefits, Hongshi Network proactively extended the cooperation period with Shen Yao without her even having to ask.

Many novel IPs even offer Shen Yao's works for purchase, with not only cheap prices but also many discounts.

Besides Hongshi Network, Shen Yao and Jiang Hanzhou are also preparing for the post-production editing and preparation of Zhou You's film "And Then There Were None".

This movie was released a few months earlier than "The Fast and the Furious" because it had fewer scenes and required less production.

Shen Yao and Jiang Hanzhou's plan was to take advantage of the fact that Zhou You's new movie had not yet been filmed, and at an appropriate time, promote "And Then There Were None" to the public.

We don't care how much money this suspense film makes; we just hope they don't lose money. And we need to sever ties with Zhou You as soon as possible, to prevent them from being implicated if Zhou You gets into trouble later.

'Host, will Zhou You get into trouble later?'

Why? This person seems very capable and skilled.

"Because he's so capable, it makes everyone else seem less capable. Everyone's eating from the same pot, but you're the most capable and competent. What? To show off how outstanding you are?"

Don't assume that people in the entertainment industry don't experience jealousy; in fact, they have the fewest moral boundaries.

When people act based on self-interest, they may cooperate today because of mutual benefit, but turn against each other tomorrow because of the same interest. This perfectly illustrates the saying that there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

The system stopped speaking and began to silently observe Shen Yao as she focused on her work.

The movie "And Then There Were None" is linked to Zhou You, but Shen Yao and Jiang Hanzhou do not want to get involved with Zhou You. Therefore, when the movie was promoted and released, the main focus was on suspense and human nature. The promotion was carried out by online marketing accounts, and other online trolls were responsible for pushing the hype until the movie was released in theaters.

"Online viewers don't have a good impression of this movie," and schools are also not very optimistic about this type of film, so they don't give it many screenings. If there weren't so few movies being released during this period, "And Then There Were None" might have fared even worse.

Jiang Hanzhou had anticipated this, noting that even Zhou You himself wasn't promoting it, and there wasn't a single repost online, indicating that this movie was truly destined to be buried.
