Chapter 5: I Have the Ability
1251 Words
While Yang Chen was still in a daze, Mu Qianxue was also sizing up her landlord.
Yang Chen was dressed reasonably well today because he had gone to Zhang Yan's house.
His well-fitting suit, though not a designer brand, still caught Mu Qianxue's eye, especially given his tall and handsome figure. What
a handsome man!
Even though she was used to seeing all sorts of handsome men in the entertainment industry, Mu Qianxue was still attracted by Yang Chen's aura.
Masculine, resolute!
Full of masculinity!
For a moment, Mu Qianxue felt a flutter in her heart!
She had never even been in a relationship!
However, Mu Qianxue quickly shook her head.
She couldn't even afford rent, and her career was in a slump; how could she be worthy of this landlord?
After all, owning a house in Binjiang Villa at such a young age meant he must be a successful person!
Thinking this, Mu Qianxue subtly shifted her gaze and lowered her head.
“Mr. Yang, this is the rental contract and the termination agreement. I’ve decided not to renew the lease!”
Mu Qianxue’s voice was bitter, but she still forced a smile.
Yang Chen snapped out of his daze and sat down opposite Mu Qianxue.
Facing such a big star, especially a former diva,
he was honestly a little nervous.
But the thought that he was her landlord calmed him down considerably.
“I know you don’t have the money to renew the contract right now, but I can still rent the house to you!”
Yang Chen said calmly.
Mu Qianxue was taken aback and looked up at Yang Chen in surprise,
“Why?”
Yang Chen chuckled and said indifferently,
“No reason, because I know you will definitely be able to pay the rent in the future. Consider it an investment, after all, houses in Binjiang Villa aren’t easy to rent out!”
Mu Qianxue fell silent.
Her hands holding the contract paused for a moment, as if she was struggling with her decision, but in the end, she placed the contract and termination agreement in front of Yang Chen.
"Thank you, I appreciate your trust in me!"
Mu Qianxue thanked her first, then continued,
"But I know my own problems. If I continue renting, I definitely won't be able to pay your rent in the future. So, let's sign the termination agreement!"
Mu Qianxue looked dejected.
For a moment, she had wanted to agree.
After all, she had lived here for three years and was already used to everything in the room.
However, she knew clearly how difficult it would be to change the mind of Shengshi Entertainment, the behemoth and the hegemon of the domestic entertainment industry!
Although this handsome landlord had faith in her, she couldn't let him suffer a loss!
Yang Chen was somewhat surprised by Mu Qianxue's refusal. This woman was truly beautiful inside and out!
No wonder she couldn't make it in the entertainment industry and chose to retire!
If it were anyone else, they would probably have happily agreed immediately!
They might even have secretly cursed themselves as idiots!
Yang Chen didn't look at the agreement handed to him, but instead looked directly into Mu Qianxue's eyes, confidently saying,
"Believe me, you will definitely make a successful comeback!"
Mu Qianxue's eyes darted away, seemingly unable to meet Yang Chen's gaze.
"No, no, I still can't rent your place!"
"I'm already preparing to leave Shanghai; this place isn't suitable for me!"
Mu Qianxue suppressed the bitterness in her heart and stated her decision for the future.
"Leave Shanghai?"
Yang Chen smiled and said,
"So lacking in confidence? This isn't like the Mu Qianxue of the past!"
Mu Qianxue gave a bitter smile; she hadn't heard that title in a long time. She
raised her head and gave Yang Chen a pitiful smile, feeling curious and unable to understand why he was so optimistic about her.
"People change, and I'm curious why you're so optimistic about me?"
Mu Qianxue asked, voicing her true feelings.
"Because I'm confident I can help you make a successful comeback and regain your former glory as a superstar!"
"Or rather, I have the ability to face Shengshi Entertainment!"
With those words, Mu Qianxue was stunned!
Yang Chen's words kept echoing in her mind.
"I have the ability to make your comeback a success!
Comeback!
Comeback!"
Countless nights, Mu Qianxue had uttered these two words.
As a former superstar, having considered her acting career her life's dream, how could she not want to make a comeback?
But she knew clearly that with her abilities, a comeback was hopeless.
However
, at this moment, Mu Qianxue's heart finally wavered!
She abruptly raised her head, staring into Yang Chen's eyes, seemingly trying to see through his pretense, his panic.
But clearly, Mu Qianxue failed.
Yang Chen was calm, his eyes full of confidence!
Mu Qianxue lay back in her chair, as if all her strength had been drained.
Her facial expressions constantly shifted,
as if she were making a difficult decision.
Finally, Mu Qianxue let out a long breath.
"I believe in you!"
she made up her mind.
Mu Qianxue picked up the coffee in front of her, as if wanting to use coffee instead of alcohol.
"Mr. Yang, thank you!"
Mu Qianxue's face was flushed, lost in thought.
However, at this moment, the melancholy from before vanished from her, as if the former Empress Mu had returned!
Yang Chen smiled, picked up his coffee, and drank it all in one gulp.
He hadn't lied to Mu Qianxue; after all, if she agreed, Yang Chen would acquire 60% of Shengshi Entertainment's shares, becoming its de facto controlling shareholder!
Helping Mu Qianxue make a successful comeback would be a simple matter of a word!
As for the extra favor from Mu Qianxue, that was just icing on the cake!
Mu Qianxue signed the contract again.
"Ding, Mu Qianxue's lease renewal successful. Congratulations to the host for acquiring 60% of Shengshi Entertainment's shares, and an additional bonus of Mu Qianxue's favor!"
The system notification sounded promptly.
"Done!"
Yang Chen clenched his fist excitedly.
Shengshi Entertainment, this behemoth in the entertainment industry, was now under his control.
Moreover, compared to a house in Binjiang Villa, Shengshi Entertainment was far more valuable. With
a market value of 50 billion, 60% of the shares would be worth at least 30 billion!
Yang Chen's current mood could only be described with two words: exhilarating!
After signing the agreement with Mu Qianxue, the two parted ways.
At this time, however, a major earthquake was brewing within Shengshi Entertainment!
"Chairman, something terrible has happened! All the shares our company sold have been bought up!"
A glamorous secretary in an OL uniform skirt, with a curvaceous figure, rushed into Xu Qiang's office in a panic.
Xu Qiang was reclining in his executive chair, resting with his eyes closed. Startled by the sudden intrusion of the secretary, he scolded,
"What nonsense are you spouting in broad daylight? How could hundreds of billions of shares be bought up all at once? I think it's time to improve your business skills!"
"Chairman, please take a look for yourself!" The secretary shrank back and handed the newly printed report to the chairman.
Xu Qiang frowned as he looked at the report, his expression gradually changing.
All of their company's stock had been acquired by one person at the same time!
Good heavens!
Was the company about to undergo a dramatic upheaval? ...
