Touya Yaoyao

Yu Yaoyao, who was getting acquainted with the company environment with her older sister, hadn't been there for more than a few minutes when Ye Zhuozhuo was called away by a phone call, and Yu Yaoyao was also dragged away by Ye Zhuozhuo.

Reluctantly sitting in the passenger seat, Yu Yaoyao looked at her sister starting the car and couldn't help but complain:

"What are you doing, sister? I haven't finished my tour yet! You've already dragged me out?!"

Ye Zhuozhuo drove the car out of the garage without changing her expression, explaining casually:

“Our family bought a piece of land before, intending to develop it into a commercial district, but due to insufficient funds, it was abandoned. Now, someone else happens to want it, so we're preparing to sell it.”

She spoke casually, as if it were a trivial matter. Yu Yaoyao stared at her in astonishment, feeling that her older sister was incredibly wealthy.

Buying a piece of land in northern Beijing can cost anywhere from hundreds of millions to thousands, or even hundreds of millions of yuan. But she said it so easily, as if this matter... well, this matter is really not a big deal for them. After all, a casual high-end custom-made item costs several million yuan, let alone a piece of land.

Thinking of this, Yu Yaoyao felt deeply depressed. Back then, she had walked for hours just to save a few yuan on transportation costs.

Now, the other party can casually say that they bought a piece of land. It's true that people's joys and sorrows are not shared. Otherwise, why would she feel so uncomfortable?

Seeing her younger sister's disappointed look, Ye Zhuozhuo pondered for a moment before asking in surprise:

"What?! You don't want to sell the land?? Or what do you plan to do with it?! If you have plans, you don't have to sell it, but..."

At this point, she suddenly changed her tune:

"Alright, how about I take you to see it? If you have any thoughts, you can tell me. If you really like that land, then we won't buy it."

These words stunned Yu Yaoyao. Just... just that straightforward? I was just feeling sad about my past, sister, do you have to be so considerate?!

Besides, I've never even seen that piece of land. What could I possibly do with it? I can't just leave this wasteland untouched, can I?

Before she could say anything, Ye Zhuozhuo suddenly turned a corner. This unexpected turn of events startled her, and she could only grip the seatbelt strap tightly, no longer daring to utter a word.

The plot of land that the Ye family bought was in the suburbs of northern Beijing. Although the land looked beautiful with its mountains and water, it was in the middle of nowhere.

With such a remote location, Ye Qihua and his team are actually planning to build a commercial district here? Have they lost their minds or are they just plain crazy?

Although she was puzzled, Yu Yaoyao didn't dare to ask too many questions. Even though the place was an abandoned project, it could be used to make movies if properly utilized.

After all, this place is sparsely populated, far from any village or shop, and the scenery is quite nice. It would be an excellent filming location to set up a set, decorate it, and use it for shooting TV series or movies.

However, there are also many disadvantages. There are not many people here, and if you want to find extras, you have to go to a special place and spend a lot of money to hire them. It can be said that there are both advantages and disadvantages.

Seeing Yu Yaoyao deep in thought, Ye Zhuozhuo couldn't help but point to the mountains and forests not far away and say to Yu Yaoyao:

"This land is cheaper, including the mountain, it'll only cost a few hundred million. Take a look and see if there's anything you can use it for. If you can, we won't sell it."

Yu Yaoyao glanced around and couldn't help but fall silent.

The desolate ruins, the crumbling bridge over the stream, and the unsightly bird droppings made me want to sulk.

Transforming this place into a film and television city suitable for shooting movies and TV series would be quite difficult, but it doesn't necessarily have to be done all at once. Perhaps we could make use of the limited resources to shoot one film as a temporary solution, and then gradually move on to the others?

Thinking this, Yu Yaoyao subconsciously looked at Ye Zhuozhuo beside her. Before she could speak, Ye Zhuozhuo saw the determination in her eyes and couldn't help but ask:

"What are you trying to do?!"

Seeing her older sister's curious expression, Yu Yaoyao awkwardly glanced to the side and muttered under her breath:

"My cousin graduated from film school, right? So I was thinking, why don't we build a filming location here to make it easier for him to pursue his career?"

Of course, the most important thing is to make things convenient for herself. Although Ye Zhuozhuo didn't quite understand what the connection was between Ye Qiguo graduating from the film academy and her younger sister setting up a film studio where movies could be made, since her sister had said so, she must have her reasons.

Perhaps we can take this opportunity to talk to Uncle San and ask him to contribute something, since it's for his son's career, and it would be most appropriate for him to contribute.

Or, besides Uncle Three, other people could also get a piece of the pie, piece it together, and maybe they could actually make something of it.

Thinking this, Ye Zhuozhuo took out her phone and called the person who wanted to buy the land, explaining that the land was no longer for sale. Then she looked at Yu Yaoyao and comforted her:

"Since your sister likes it, let's keep it."

Yu Yaoyao stared at Ye Zhuozhuo in astonishment, unable to help but mentally complain:

Sister, ever since you took over the company, you've really started to resemble the domineering, authoritative older brother type. But do you still remember how you used to have long, flowing hair and a gentle face? You've become so unfamiliar to me.

Ye Zhuozhuo, who thought saying this would make her younger sister happy, frowned slightly when she saw Yu Yaoyao's heartbroken face and hesitated before saying:

"No way?? Then... I'll go buy it again?!"

"never mind"

Yu Yaoyao withdrew her gaze sadly, looking at the still desolate land, muttering to herself:

"Things have changed, people have changed, and everything is over!!"

Ye Zhuozhuo was completely bewildered by these words, and didn't understand why her younger sister was sighing. If she wanted it, she could keep it; if she didn't want it, she could sell it. Why was she sighing?

Because she was thinking of turning the wasteland into a film and television city, Yu Yaoyao started thinking about design plans on her way back to the company. The reason she started thinking about them on the way was because there were too many references, and she really couldn't make up her mind.

Ye Zhuozhuo naturally noticed her younger sister's serious expression and assumed she was thinking about how to transform the wasteland, so she casually said:

"If you're really going to make a movie, I suggest you change it to a modern style. These days, most directors use a modern style, and I think that style will be more popular with audiences."

Whether the audience welcomes Yu Yaoyao or not is unknown, but Yu Yaoyao certainly doesn't. In Zhaoguo, watching TV dramas is all about romance, and to what extent? They even want to pair up the male and female leads' socks.

Perhaps due to a long period of peace and prosperity without war, the history of Zhao Kingdom is not interesting at all, and is extremely boring due to its stability.

From the first female emperor Zhao Anping to the present-day Zhao Hede, the Zhao Kingdom has experienced more than 2200 years of peaceful times.

During this long period, a total of 26 emperors were produced. Of them, 25.5 were diligent in their duties and brought peace to the people during their reigns. The remaining 0.5 was due to one emperor who was too rebellious and caused trouble in his later years. He was unanimously voted out by the members of the Supreme Council of Zhao Kingdom, who were also the district chiefs of the seven major regions, and was forced to abdicate.

The long and peaceful years have led to the rapid development of various industries. However, the arts and culture industry in Zhaoguo seems to be inherently unlucky, so much so that the people of Zhaoguo have nothing to watch except romance films.

To put it bluntly, in Zhaoguo, if you talk to him about the intrigues and machinations of officialdom, he'll talk to you about the code of conduct for Zhaoguo officials and the Zhaoguo official law.

You tell him about the cutthroat world of business, and he tells you about China's commercial law and commodity laws.

You tell him about the treacherous intentions behind palace intrigue and family feuds, and he tells you about the legal provisions of monogamy, even saying that if you dare to have an extramarital affair, you'll go to jail, get labor reform, and receive compensation—a one-stop service.

As for your suggestion of rebellion, haha, the last person who said that is now nothing but dust.

It should be noted that the Zhao Kingdom's military is not to be underestimated. Although the Zhao Kingdom is divided into several regions, including Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, the Ocean, and Antarctica, it also has a certain number of troops stationed in these regions.

However, His Majesty of Zhao Kingdom has absolute military authority over the unified deployment of the army and the unified control of weapons. Even if you dare to say that you want to rebel today, you may see the moon tonight, but you will definitely not see the sun tomorrow.

To put it bluntly, if everyone in your district were to rebel, then your district would have no reason to exist.

I heard that when the country was founded, a few district chiefs, relying on their remoteness and the fact that the emperor was far away, wanted to become local tyrants and the sole rulers of their respective areas. However, the first emperor, Zhao Anping, ruthlessly crushed them in front of the other district chiefs, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Such a brutal method of retaliation completely extinguished their desire to rebel, and they obediently carried out their duties.
