  Jiang Yan nearly wanted to commit suicide from intense self-reproach. If he protected his Lord better, that vixen wouldn’t have been able to exploit his weakness!

  Lin Que looked like he expected it though. “OK! Understood. I’ll arrange it immediately!”


  Si Yehan was at his wits’ end due to that girl pressing closer and closer and almost couldn’t conceal his identity anymore, but that girl just happened to return to China at this time. He merely needed to arrange for someone to pretend to be Lord Asura in the Independent State and return to China to recover his identity as Si Yehan, and he could dispel her suspicions…


  …


  The next morning:

  Seven Star delved into everything that happened at the Age of Immortals after Ye Wanwan left that very night before giving the report to Ye Wanwan.

  “Sis Feng, I’ve finished looking into the matter concerning the acquisition; it’s not that simple. Although the Age of Immortals’ situation wasn’t optimistic, it wasn’t at the point of needing to sell the company. Even when Emperor Sky gave a fairly high purchase price and exerted both gentle and forceful methods, Han Xianyu and the others didn’t acquiesce.”


  Ye Wanwan kept tapping the glass surface of the side table with her finger. “Continue.”


  In truth, Han Xianyu, Luo Chen, Gong Xu, and Jiang Yanran’s acting skills were superb, and Ye Wanwan didn’t catch anything amiss due to flaws in their acting skills.

  It was because of trust.

  She trusted that they wouldn’t sell the company and trusted that they would have the capability.

  However, the result didn’t match her expectations at all, so something else had to have gone wrong.

  Hence, she ordered Seven Star to investigate the matter.

  Seven Star continued, “According to my investigation, your cousin and second aunt had secret intimate contact with people from the Hongxing Gang these past few months. After you left, Yao Jiawen acted as the manager of Jiang Yanran, Gong Xu, and Luo Chen and was rather trusted.

  “Hence, they bribed Yao Jiawen and made her cooperate with people from the Hongxing Gang from the inside to avoid the bodyguards and kidnap Jiang Yanran. Then they threatened the others using Jiang Yanran, and they had no choice but to comply with Emperor Sky’s acquisition.”


  Ye Wanwan’s expression darkened instantly.

  Never would she have expected that she would still underestimate the shamelessness of Huang Mingkun and the mother-daughter duo in the end.

  She didn’t expect them to use such a vulgar method!

  What chilled her heart more was Yao Jiawen’s betrayal…


  Yao Jiawen was someone she unearthed and taught hand over hand. She passed her knowledge to Yao Jiawen without holding back and even entrusted her with her most important artists before leaving.

  To her surprise…


  Big Dipper sprang up with righteous indignation. “D*mn! Hongxing Gang what? I’ve never heard of them! They dared to kidnap my goddess?! F*ck their a**!”


  “They’re an organization that originated from Harbor City and currently has influence in China and the Asia region,” Seven Star expressionlessly explained.

  Ye Wanwan had naturally heard of the Hongxing Gang before. They were rather powerful indeed and had a deep background.

  However, if an underground syndicate like Hongxing Gang was thrown into the Independent State, they would basically be no different from children playing house. Let’s not even compare them to the Fearless Alliance, which struck terror into everyone in the Independent State.

  “Give me the upcoming schedules of those four,” Ye Wanwan requested.

  Seven Star conducted his assignment to satisfaction and looked into that already, so he quickly sent a document to Ye Wanwan’s phone.

  Ye Wanwan skimmed through the schedules before focusing on Gong Xu’s schedule that day.

  The name of the film that Gong Xu was going to shoot today looked familiar. It seemed to be the film claimed to use explicit scenes to catch viewers’ attention…


  Chapter 1739: Isn’t worthy of being mentioned in the same breath

  Currently, the set of the film?A Carnal Night?had a tense atmosphere, and the scent of gunpowder permeated the air.

  Next to Gong Xu were a tipped chair and the shattered pieces of a cup he knocked over. “Yao Jiawen! This isn’t what you said when you coaxed me into signing the contract for this film! I can tolerate you using those crude methods for publicity, but now, you actually want me to strip and shoot that kind of thing? Just to support a nobody?! Who do you think I am?”


  The female lead of this film was the lover of some leader in Hongxing Gang and a minor, unpopular artist. She was currently signed to the Age of Immortals and personally managed by Yao Jiawen.

  If this was before, Gong Xu wouldn’t mind acting in this kind of film.

  But now, Brother Ye exerted so much effort just to lift him into this position and help him change his genre, so how could he tolerate this kind of vulgar and low-quality film and ruin their efforts?

  Yao Jiawen was sitting in a leather chair with a cup of coffee in hand, unconcerned about Gong Xu’s rage. “You’re too naive, Gong Xu. Which high-earning person in the industry doesn’t do this?

  “You wasted so much time and energy shooting a film without a market. So what if you used it to win Best Actor? The profit that it brought is far inferior to you stripping your clothes and revealing some skin!

  “Ye Bai’s self-righteous method of blindly pursuing expertise and acting skills doesn’t suit this industry at all and she should’ve been eliminated ages ago.”


  It had only been a few mere months, but all traces of Yao Jiawen’s original simple and frugal appearance had disappeared from her body.

  Her outfit could hold a candle to the outfits of some artists and celebrities—there was a luxurious bracelet around her wrist and a Chanel couture outfit enveloping her body. There was also a personal assistant waiting on her tail, and she completely resembled a golden manager, confidence leaking through her every word.

  The director and producers next to her all bobbed their heads zealously and fell over themselves to lick her boots. “CEO Yao is brilliant!”


  “CEO Yao’s words are incredibly insightful! Ah, Gong Xu, didn’t we all enter this industry to earn money? Why must you jeopardize your earnings? CEO Yao is doing this for your own good!”


  Immense satisfaction filled Yao Jiawen as she listened to these renowned producers and director, who she wasn’t even qualified to look at before, all eagerly parroting her.

  She might’ve felt a little guilty allying with Ye Yiyi before, but after being a golden manager and the company’s CEO for several months, that tinge of guilt had been stomped to nothing underneath her feet.

  Both she and Ye Bai were managers, so why should Ye Bai thrive while she could only act as a lackey?

  In this industry, you had to be unscrupulous to rise above everyone else anyway! She couldn’t be faulted!

  She absolutely didn’t want to return to her original groveling and currying life…


  Now, even the arrogant and bossy Gong Xu was a puppet to her wishes!

  Gong Xu stared at the woman before him and sneered. “Yao Jiawen, stop freaking dirtying this young master’s ears! Who the heck do you think you are? Do you really think you’re my manager? Who gave you the nerve to think you’re worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as my Brother Ye?”


  When Yao Jiawen heard that, her calm and graceful mask instantly shattered, a storm rolling into her eyes.

  After gaining control of the company, her biggest taboo was being compared to Ye Bai!

  What she loathed the most was these people mentioning Ye Bai at every twist and turn!

  When clearly the Age of Immortals belonged to her now and she was their manager now!
