Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Not Amounting to Much"How long do you think Qingtian Entertainment can hold out?" Shi Yaoguang was somewhat surprised when she heard the question, "Why would you ask me this?" Zhao Mingmei shrugged her shoulders, "Just a bit curious, if it’s not convenient for you to say, you don’t have to." "It’s not inconvenient at all," Shi Yaoguang said directly, "Qingtian Entertainment only had a starting capital of ten million, without any significant backing. Such a small enterprise could be swallowed up by others at any time without causing any surprise." Speaking of which, Shi Yaoguang hadn’t expected Quan Sicheng to dive into the entertainment industry with ten million. She had originally thought Quan Sicheng might use the money for something else, but who knew he would... stubbornly choose a path leading to his demise. Ten million is not a small amount. Many people can’t earn that much money in a lifetime. But to a wealthy family, this meager ten million is nothing but a drop in the ocean. The Quan family’s wealth isn’t just in the billions for show, let alone that they own even more than that figure. Of course, that’s not the point. The point is... Quan Sicheng established an entertainment company with just ten million. Ten million invested in other projects might have made some impact. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Starting an entertainment company? Ha. Haven’t you seen drama troupes boasting investments of over a hundred million, or spending tens of millions during promotions? Even if most of that money ends up with the lead actors with huge followings, those investments are still substantial. As for Quan Sicheng, even if he put the entire ten million into it, he would at most cause a minor splash. Anything more? There is none. And this is assuming he puts the full ten million in. Now, he has even started an entertainment company with that ten million. Going by the lowest estimates, he would only have about five million left in hand. Five million, what can that do? Tsk tsk. Shi Yaoguang sighed inwardly, then looked at Zhao Mingmei. "Miss Zhao, how do you know how long his Qingtian Entertainment will last?" Zhao Mingmei curled her lips, "I’ve got piercing eyes." "Piercing eyes?" Shi Yaoguang showed a contemplative expression. Zhao Mingmei, seeing that she seemed to believe her, cleared her throat slightly, "I’m just joking, don’t take it seriously." "I’m in this line of work after all, I still need to know the basic information." As she spoke, she thought of something and made a look of disgust, "I’ve also inquired about the Quan family, ugh." "Your fake sister is really annoying." Shi Yaoguang looked at the disgusted expression and shrugged her shoulders, "You’ll get used to it." "Quan Sicheng is really a hopeless romantic, starting a company and even using your fake sister’s name. Love is truly moving." Zhao Mingmei said, stretching out her hand to make a fist gesture, "But what can we do? The kind of person I hate the most is just like her." She said, reaching out her hand and hooking Shi Yaoguang’s neck, she whispered into her ear in a low voice, "What do you say we join forces and show her some colors, how about that?" "What do you want to do?" Shi Yaoguang asked curiously. Zhao Mingmei winked at her and chuckled, "She signed Yang Wenwen because obviously she wants to become famous." "Since she wants to become famous, let’s just help her achieve that." As she spoke, she licked her lips, "Yang Wenwen loves to play the field, and her artists are all the same, skilled in petty tricks. Anyone with a bit of moral sense wouldn’t agree to her publicity stunts." "So I think—" Before Zhao Mingmei could finish, she heard a low cough. Shi Yaoguang and Zhao Mingmei both turned their heads to look. A man wearing a mask stood there, emitting an aura that screamed ’keep away.’ "Why are you here? Didn’t you say you had things to deal with?" Shi Yaoguang walked toward him. The man reached out directly, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and took a possessive stance. "If I hadn’t come, who knows how your new agent would be all over you." The man spoke with a citrusy tang of jealousy. Shi Yaoguang was stunned for a moment, then incredulously pointed at her own nose, "Are you sure you’re talking about me?" "Who else?" He raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction, "I saw her hugging you from afar." He was referring to the scene where Zhao Mingmei hooked her arm around Yaoguang’s neck. Shi Yaoguang was somewhat helpless. She stretched out her hand and poked his chest, "Can you not be so jealous?" "Me? Jealous?" "Mhm." Her tone was full of helplessness, "I’m straight, so forget the opposite sex, but now you can’t even tolerate those of the same sex?" The man pursed his lips, speaking in a stubborn tone, "I’m not that petty." As he spoke, he cast a dismissive glance at Zhao Mingmei, "I just feel..." "Feel what?" Shi Yaoguang blinked, looking extremely curious. The man spoke with a righteous tone, "I just feel that you’re too naïve, don’t get deceived by men and women out there." Even Shi Yaoguang, who prided herself on having thick skin, couldn’t listen to this any longer. Zhao Mingmei was also speechless. She didn’t know who this man was, but she understood what he was saying. She wasn’t one to hold back either and immediately expressed her discontent. "How can you speak like that? As a straight, straight as an arrow woman, how could I deceive anyone?" "Even if Yaoguang has an enormous charm, I don’t have those thoughts about her." The man, hearing this, smiled instead of getting angry, "It’s best if you think that way." Zhao Mingmei: "..." Shi Yaoguang: "..." Looking at the man, who was standing his ground, Shi Yaoguang felt the urge to make a biting remark. Quan Jinbei’s public image was really not keeping up. In the beginning, she had thought Quan Jinbei was just as others had described him, a truly unattainable high flower. At first, he truly was like that. But she didn’t know when, exactly, her perception of him started to change. A high flower? Aloof aura? Ha. Nonexistent! Look at this inexplicable jealousy of his. Shi Yaoguang felt it was so sweet it made her teeth hurt, let alone Zhao Mingmei, an outsider. She expressed her disdain very clearly, "You’re worried I’d have any thoughts about Yaoguang, but you, a grown man, are hiding behind a mask. You’re not straightforward at all. If you can’t be transparent and open, what happiness can you provide Yaoguang with?" Zhao Mingmei was being impulsively verbose. After speaking, she suddenly recalled a problem. Shi Yaoguang... ...was married! And her spouse was none other than Quan Sicheng, the man in charge of the Quan Family. Realizing this, she suddenly felt relieved. This man was willing to stand up against the pressure from Quan Sicheng to be with Shi Yaoguang, which spoke volumes about his sincerity. Unaware of what Zhao Mingmei had imagined, Shi Yaoguang looked at the man beside her with concern, not wanting him to do something rash in a moment of impulsiveness. The man calmly listened to Zhao Mingmei finish speaking, gave her a look, and then without hesitation, reached out and removed the mask covering his face. Upon seeing his face clearly, Zhao Mingmei gasped in shock.
