Chapter 265: Become a Lesbian
Seeing Jiang Xingchen leave with a long face, Su Yan almost burst out laughing. Today was so great. She completely crushed Jiang Xingchen and even acquired Maoyuan as expected. It was enough for Jiang Xingchen and Jiang Ming to be upset for a while.
Su Yan knew very well that even now, Jiang Xingchen still looked down on her, but she didn't care about this at all. Regardless of whether they looked down on her or not, the initiative was in her hands. In the end, the Jiang brothers had to beg her.
Wang Xiaoxue and Su Yan looked at each other. When Wang Xiaoxue saw Su Yan's seductive almond-shaped eyes, she immediately blushed, but she quickly recovered and said, "President Su, you're really amazing. Seeing you negotiate is a kind of enjoyment, but I'm very curious. How did you know that they would definitely accept this price?"
Su Yan replied, "1.2 billion is the market valuation. That 300 million can be considered as giving him a way out. Therefore, he has no reason to refuse. No matter how angry or dissatisfied he is, it is useless, because if he doesn't make a move soon, Jiang Yuan will make him regret it."
Wang Xiaoxue was slightly startled, but she quickly reacted. "Then, if we do this, won't Bai You Investment's president Jiang be angry?"
Su Yan picked up her bag, stood up, and tidied her clothes. "Of course he will be angry. Anyone would be angry, but what does whether he is angry or not have to do with me?"
After saying that, she blinked her beautiful eyes at Wang Xiaoxue with charm and seduction.
Wang Xiaoxue's blushed even more. "Oh my God, how can there be such a beautiful woman in the world? I might as well become a lesbian for her!"
Originally, she had already regarded Su Yan as her idol, and Su Yan's performance today made her admire her even more. Just now, Su Yan's charming smile made her, a woman, feel her heart flutter.
Wang Xiaoxue didn't care about how much money Su Yan had at all. She mainly admired Su Yan's intelligence and composure, as well as her charm and beauty.She felt that Su Yan must have saved the galaxy in her previous life. That was why she became a beautiful and rich woman with a hundred billion net worth.
She originally thought that she herself wasn't that bad. At least among her classmates, no one was better than her. But every time she saw Su Yan, this complacency would disappear. She felt that she would never be able to reach Su Yan's level in her lifetime, and Su Yan could only be someone that she would always look up to.
"Xiaoxue? Which handsome guy are you thinking about?" Suddenly, Su Yan's amused voice came from the door of the private room.
"Huh? No, nothing... I'm coming." Wang Xiaoxue came back to her senses and looked at Su Yan's seductive smile. She was very embarrassed.
When she ran to the door with her briefcase, Su Yan said curiously, "It's rare for you to be absent-minded. Tell me, what were you thinking about just now?"
Wang Xiaoxue said subconsciously, "I was thinking about money. Uh... no..."
Su Yan smiled and said, "Your ambition isn't small. In the entire company, other than me, you seem to have the highest annual salary. Last year, I gave you a total of four million. Is this much money not enough for you to use?"
Wang Xiaoxue lowered her head and said with a blush, "President Su, I'm sorry. I misspoke just now. I didn't mean that..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Su Yan interrupted, "That's enough. It's not wrong to like money. After all, working is for the sake of earning more money. It's about time for the B round of financing for Jian Xin Technology Company. After the financing is completed, I'll transfer some of Jian Xin Technology Company's shares to your name. In the future, you can be considered as one of the shareholders of Jian Xin Technology Company. When that time comes, you'll have to manage Jian Xin Technology Company."
Wang Xiaoxue froze, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She had accidentally said what she was thinking, and Su Yan had misunderstood her. However, she had also gotten a bargain, and her boss gave her better treatment, so she would gladly accept it. After all, no one would mind having too much money, right?
If it weren't for the large number of people around her, she would have hugged Su Yan's thigh right now and shouted, "From now on, you are my father!"
After she had been with Su Yan for so many years, for every project that Su Yan planned to invest in, at least 95% were profitable. The B round of financing for Jian Xin Technology Company was about to arrive, and just like what Su Yan had said earlier, she had already planned to invest more. With Su Yan's financing, it was impossible for Jian Xin Technology Company to go bankrupt now.
Su Yan was rich and powerful, and her net worth was 100 billion. She wasn't short of the seven-percent share that Wang Xiaoxue was given. Although Su Yan didn't care about the seven-percent share, it wasn't a small amount to Wang Xiaoxue, so although Wang Xiaoxue had been pretending to be calm, in fact, she was rejoicing in her heart!
Chapter 266: Li Miao's 'History of Struggles'
After quietly observing the changes in the secretary's expression, Su Yan said, "Help me check on Li Miao."
When she heard the mention of this, Wang Xiaoxue immediately became serious. "Understood. I'll send it to your email after checking."
Su Yan smiled. The way she looked at Wang Xiaoxue was even more alluring. If she didn't give such a dedicated and smart secretary a raise, who else would she give a raise to? She only needed to say the beginning, but she already knew what to check.
Su Yan nodded. "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoxue."
Wang Xiaoxue said humbly, "It's my honor to be able to serve President Su."
Su Yan curled her lips. "Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go back to the company. I won't send you off."
Wang Xiaoxue pointed at a sedan that was approaching not far away. "I won't trouble President Su. I've already asked my colleagues to pick me up on the way."
Su Yan waved at her and drove away. After watching her disappear into the street, Wang Xiaoxue hurriedly got into her colleague's car and left. As soon as she got into the car, she returned to the cold and arrogant top secretary of the company.
In fact, when Su Yan and Li Miao first met, Wang Xiaoxue had already seen that there was something wrong with Li Miao, so she had people secretly investigate Li Miao. Although she had also investigated Li Miao last time, she only found some information about Li Miao's current situation. When Su Yan asked Li Miao to investigate, she naturally meant those things that no one knew about.
Without Jiang Xingchen's protection, Li Miao was defensless. As long as Su Yan stomped her feet, she would be trampled to death. Li Miao probably didn't expect that she would be sold by a man just like that.

Glory Entertainment's president's office.
Jiang Xingchen and Secretary Liu had just returned. He finally came back to his senses and raised his eyebrows at Secretary Liu. "That's not right. When did Li Miao meet Miss Summer?"
Up until now, Miss Summer of Xuanwen Group was a mystery in the industry. The outside world only knew that she was a woman, but other than that, there was no other information about her.
Miss Summer was able to increase Xuanwen Group's performance by dozens of times in just a few years. Xuanwen Group had already become a supergroup that could compete with the Bai You Investment Group, which was controlled by his older brother, Jiang Yuan, and to be able to do this, Miss Summer, who had always been behind the scenes, was definitely not an ordinary person. She was definitely the cream of the crop among women.
Secretary Liu was also confused. "President Jiang, in my opinion, Miss Li Miao has never met Miss Summer. Miss Summer is way out of her league."
Jiang Xingchen leaned against the chair as he loosened his collar and said coldly, "I don't think it's that simple. For Li Miao to be able to reach her current position, she must have used a lot of strategies. In the eyes of that woman, I am just a tool. Perhaps only a big shot like Miss Summer can really catch her eye."
At this point, he said self-deprecatingly, "If Li Miao was a well-behaved person, then she wouldn't have come to hook up with me just because she didn't get to hook up with Jiang Yuan."
When Secretary Liu heard this, he pretended not to hear it and didn't say a word. Even if he was Jiang Xingchen's confidant, he couldn't randomly reply to such a topic. Otherwise, he would be fired.
However, the matter of Li Miao seducing Jiang Yuan had indeed caused a scandal in the entire industry. It wasn't a big deal, but it was still scandalous. Everyone in the upper echelons of the company knew about it.
Li Miao was a female celebrity who became famous overnight with a TV series and became the dream lover of many men. She also became the rookie that Blue-Ray Media Company supported the most that year. During the annual meeting of the Baiyou Group, she even performed at a live show. Jiang Yuan and Lan Jian were childhood friends. Just because they had a few words at the annual meeting, Jiang Yuan was targeted by Li Miao. However, how could her little tricks fool Jiang Yuan? Later, Jiang Yuan exposed them one by one, but because of Lan Jian's sake, he turned a blind eye.
It turned out that on the night of the annual meeting, Li Miao had pretended that her wine had been drugged and bribed the hotel staff. She had left the annual meeting ahead of time and lay on Jiang Yuan's bed while thinking that after she banged him, she would immediately became Mrs. Jiang, but she was kicked out of the room by Jiang Yuan.
Surprisingly, Li Miao was unwilling to give up after not getting to sleep with Jiang Yuan, so she went to another hotel to sleep with Jiang Xingchen. At that time, Jiang Xingchen was already drunk, and by the time he sobered up, it was too late. Helpless, he could only make Li Miao his mistress. In the end, he even signed Li Miao to Glory Entertainment.
Chapter 267: Retribution Came So Quickly
At that time, the incident was very scandalous. Although many years had passed, it was still remembered by many people. Li Miao's glamorous image in front of the screen was nothing but a joke.
However, the reason Jiang Xingchen was willing to bang Li Miao that day was because he was angry with Jiang Yuan, his cousin. Because of some reasons, Jiang Yuan made him suffer a lot, so he wanted to get back at him in this aspect.
Now that Li Miao had offended someone he shouldn't have offended, Jiang Xingchen naturally wouldn't keep Li Miao. This woman was a troublemaker, and he had helped clean up a lot of her messes.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xingchen narrowed his eyes. "Secretary Liu, give Li Miao a call in a while. Just say the right thing to her. Give her a house and a luxury car, and tell her that our relationship is over. If she's smart, she should know what to do, and I've done my best."
Secretary Liu nodded. A house and a luxury car were a must-have parting gift for the upper class to break up with a mistress. If they couldn't afford it, they didn't have the right to have a mistress, but to Jiang Xingchen, these things that ordinary people couldn't get even if they worked their whole lives weren't worth mentioning, so he would just give them to her.
A few minutes later, Li Miao, who was filming on the set, received a call from Secretary Liu. She understood what Secretary Liu meant after a few words, but she appeared very calm. After all, when she climbed into Jiang Xingchen's bed, she had already prepared for this, but at that time, she didn't have a choice. Now, since the entertainment industry was so messy, how could she not have the support of a big shot? Now, even social media influencers like live streams had big shots to back them up, so for her, it was already a common occurrence.
She only lamented that the world was unpredictable. Last week, she was still laughing at a rival female celebrity who got dumped by her sugar daddy, but she didn't expect retribution to come so quickly.
Ever since she hooked up with Jiang Xingchen, although she sacrificed her youthful body, she got a lot in return. Up until now, she had been with Jiang Xingchen for three to four years. Overall, the two of them had been getting along quite well, and Jiang Xingchen treated her quite well. He didn't listen to her 100%, but as long as she wanted something, Jiang Xingchen would do his best to satisfy it, so she had lost a very good backer.
At this time last year, she was still thinking about how to use Jiang Xingchen to continue climbing up. She definitely wouldn't be able to hook up with Jiang Yuan or Lan Jian, but apart from them, there was also Wei Zhou. Moreover, at that time, Wei Zhou had just divorced Su Yan, and she was also very concerned about this matter. She thought she could take the opportunity to win Wei Zhou over, but she gradually lost interest. She felt that it was good to maintain the status quo.
The entertainment industry was very cruel, especially to female celebrities like them, who depended on their youth. This year, she was already twenty-eight years old. Compared to those rising stars, she was no longer young. Youth? Maintenance? Those were all lies. As time passed, she would eventually be eliminated from the entertainment industry, and she would be outshone by the younger generation who were in their prime. After all, countless girls in their prime from eighteen to twenty-five years old popped up every year. In another five years, who would remember her?
In the past, she was quite ambitious and wanted to fight for it, so she put in all her effort to compete with people in the industry and fawn over Jiang Xingchen just to earn more money for a few more years. According to her estimation, she thought Jiang Xingchen would kick her out in another three to four years, but she overestimated her own charm. With a phone call from Secretary Liu, although she gained a house and a car out of nowhere, she also lost her only backer.
Although she was mentally prepared, when this moment really came, Li Miao still felt a chill and emptiness in her heart. The feeling of being abandoned made her voice tremble. "Secretary Liu, is Xingchen, no, President Jiang, free? Is it convenient for me to give him a call?"
If it was just losing a backer, it was actually not a big deal. After all, she was an artist in the company, so she could still carry out her work normally. At most, when the contract expired, she would be kicked out of the company.
What worried her the most was everything she had to face after losing Jiang Xingchen's protection. Previously, she had the Jiang family's support, so she was arrogant and bossy in the industry. Because of that, she offended many people. Without Jiang Xingchen's support, how could those people let her get her way?
Chapter 268: She Really Isn't a Good Person
Most importantly, she had competed with Tang Yitong for so many years and only managed to be on par with Tang Yitong in the past two years. Now that she lost Jiang Xingchen, the gap between her and Tang Yitong would only widen, and the gap would be even greater than before... After all, she knew very well that whether it was acting skills, education, or looks, she couldn't compare to Tang Yitong.
Although she had also shot a few movies with decent ratings, they were all produced by Jiang Xingchen, who paid a high price to hire internet trolls to support her. She didn't even dare to look at the ratings of the real audience.
If Tang Yitong lost her backer, her acting skills would make up for it. She would at least be qualified for most of the roles. It was because of this that Tang Yitong's haters gradually became her hardcore fans, and this was something that she would never be able to do.
On the other end of the phone, Secretary Liu was silent for a few seconds. His voice was cold as he said, "Li Miao, you've been in the industry for more than a year or two. You should have seen and heard a lot. I advise you not to make a fuss and obediently accept the house and car. Mr. Jiang has done his best. Don't contact Mr. Jiang in the future. You should take care of yourself."
Hearing that there was no chance of redemption, Li Miao said unwillingly, "Wait, Secretary Liu, can you tell me why? Things were perfectly fine, so why is President Jiang treating me like this? What did I do wrong?"
In fact, Secretary Liu didn't know what she did wrong either. As a bystander, he couldn't tell that she treated Jiang Xingchen as a tool, so Li Miao's question really stumped him.
After thinking for a moment, he could only say, "I can only say that you offended someone that you shouldn't have offended in the industry. That person is more powerful than President Jiang."
Secretary Liu hung up the phone and didn't give Li Miao another chance to talk. What he wanted to do was to convey Jiang Xingchen's intention, not answer Li Miao's questions. Moreover, there were many things that he didn't know.
Looking at the phone screen, Li Miao's face was pale as she kept repeating, "I offended someone I shouldn't have offended in the industry? I offended someone I shouldn't have offended in the industry..."
She had been doing well in the industry for the past few years, and she had gradually become cockier, but there was a limit to it. When she was facing Jiang Xingchen, she always restrained herself. When meeting powerful people in the industry, she was also polite and didn't dare to say anything. She was afraid that if she accidentally offended them, she would cause trouble for Jiang Xingchen.
No matter how stupid she was, she had been in the industry for more than ten years. She naturally knew the situation well, so no matter how arrogant and domineering she was, she never dared to act up in front of people she couldn't afford to offend.

Su Yan looked at the computer in front of her and the expression on her face darkened. Her originally cheerful mood suddenly became unhappy. Wang Xiaoxue just sent her what she wanted, and she only saw a small part of it, but she couldn't help but give Li Miao a thumbs up.
"Humph, she really isn't a good person. She has done a lot of shameful things in the past few years." Su Yan couldn't help but curse.
Other than scheming her way into Jiang Xingchen's bed, Li Miao had also done a lot of disgusting things in the entertainment industry in the past few years. There were too many such things. Su Yan only flipped through a few pages, then forwarded the information to Tang Yitong. She really didn't want to know more about Li Miao.
Ever since Tang Yitong joined the cast during this period of time, she had been very busy. Every time Su Yan sent her a message, it would take a long time for her to reply. So Su Yan continued to look at the company documents. These documents were all drafted by various departments, and they needed her approval. Only with her consent could these documents be issued to the company or other companies.
Recently, she had paid the most attention to the work of Dragon Emperor Entertainment. In the past, these were all managed by Tang Yitong. Now that Tang Yitong didn't have the time, she could only deal with it personally.
At around 9:30 pm, Su Yan had just finished reading all the documents. Just as she was about to wash up and go to bed, Tang Yitong called her. Su Yan said, "Oh, the big star finally has a break?"
On the other end of the phone, Tang Yitong's pitiful voice sounded, "No, the director just said that we have to catch up on the progress tonight. I'm afraid we'll have to stay up all night again."
Su Yan comforted her, "Mm, that must be hard on you."
