As PEI Yi spoke, he leaned over. His eyes were filled with satisfaction as he kissed Jiang SE’s lips gently.
His shirt was unbuttoned, revealing his collarbones at the collar. Below that was his firm muscles, which were faintly discernible. After their marriage, they were naturally more intimate than before.
Jiang SE’s legs were still weak. When he went downstairs, he took a lunchbox and studied it carefully in the kitchen. When he heard her coming downstairs, he took out a box of washed strawberries from the refrigerator, removed the film, and bit into one. After confirming the sourness and sweetness, he fed one to Jiang se.
She wrapped her arms around PEI Yi’s waist and asked, ”
“How long more?”
Both of them were not good at cooking, but he was still better. He was always willing to study and learn. In the future, after he finished his work in the Western nine states, he would be transferred back to the imperial capital. When the two lived together, he would have to cook.
When he thought of this, his chest was filled with pride. She stood on her tiptoes and placed her chin on his shoulder. He turned his head and kissed her lips.
“It’ll be quick,”
The food was half-finished, so he picked two boxes and rummaged around for an unopened pot, then steamed the food.
To Jiang se, life after marriage and before marriage did not change much.
PEI Yi’s marriage leave was only for a month. He had already taken a break for a while before the wedding. After the wedding, he reluctantly returned to the Western nine provinces. Before he left, he even wanted to bring Jiang se along but was stopped by old lady PEI.
The elders knew that the two of them were newlyweds, but Jiang se had her own things to do. Other than her career, she had to take on the responsibility of being the head of the PEI family after she married into them.
The two-month leave that Xia Chaoqun had given Jiang se passed in the blink of an eye. At the beginning of January, just after New Year’s Day, Jiang se broke away from her family and officially returned to work.
Xia Chaoqun had already secured the endorsement deal for Melovin’s skincare products and high-end custom-made clothing in France for Jiang se. Some of the details had already been settled. While Jiang se had been busy with her wedding for a year, Melovin’s team had already revised the advertising proposal several times. Both parties had almost reached an agreement.
Although she had taken the first step into the fashion industry when she was the spokesperson for fedarer’s watch back then, there were many benefits for Jiang se to be able to successfully clinch the endorsement for Melovin’s haute couture wear this time.
Last December, at the ‘century-old filmmaker’ event, she had worn Melovin’s custom-made dress in a unique style, which perfectly illustrated the sense of elegance and luxury, and had already made Melovin’s senior executives very satisfied.
When the film festival was broadcasted and Jiang se gave her speech, other than the eye-catching earrings and accessories she wore that day, the gown she wore that night also became a hot topic in the fashion circle.
Jiang SE’s past endorsements had been effective for all to see. In addition to her special status, Melovin had made thorough arrangements for her. Xia Chaoqun also approved of the price she offered.
Jiang se was already very familiar with the shooting of the advertisement. She had always been highly cooperative in her work, so the shooting of the advertisement was quick. Even though the workload was heavy, the promotional album for the gown was almost completed after nearly half a month of shooting.
In the hotel, Jiang se finally came to an end of her work. Chen Shan and Mo Anqi packed up her things, leaving Xia Chaoqun and Mo Anqi in the hotel room to talk to her. Beside them, the masseuse was tending to Jiang SE’s hands. After the essential oil was rubbed off, a faint fragrance filled the air, making her feel refreshed.
the rest is the filming of the skincare and cosmetic products.
The team had been in France for nearly a month. It was almost mid-February, and the commercial would be shot at the French Film Festival in early March.
Jiang se had gained a lot from Melovin’s endorsement this time. In addition to receiving many of Melovin’s products, the gowns for the film festival were all sponsored by Melovin.
Melovin’s skin care concept has always been based on plants. This time, for the shooting of Melovin’s main skin care series, Melovin’s team is preparing to use rose petals as the theme.
As Xia Chaoqun spoke, he showed Jiang se the advertising proposal that Melovin’s team had created.
the flower petals we ordered are here from the Netherlands. The shooting time is set for next Monday. You just need to rest well for the next few days and take good care of yourself.
Mo Anqi was holding the skincare products that Melovin had given her excitedly.
Thanks to Jiang se, Melovin had sent over a large number of skincare products. She could not use all of them on her own, so she gave a lot to the staff around her and the members of her team. Mo Anqi was already used to such situations when she was with Jiang se. She had everything from perfumes and lipsticks to jewelry, handbags, and branded accessories when she was with her.
Melovin’s skincare products were the most expensive in the country. Mo Anqi’s salary was not low, but it still pained her to buy so many of them. She had received quite a lot of them, enough for her to use for half a year. She was in a good mood and joked, ”
“That’s the biggest reason why I decided to retire when I was with Sese!”
She waved the facial mask in her hand, opened it, and applied it on her face as she said, ”
it tastes very comfortable. I tried it last night, and I absorbed it very quickly.
Xia Chaoqun ignored her. After he was done with his business, he changed the topic, ”
“Tao cen also arrived in France a few days ago,”
Although Tao cen had already left century Galaxy, she was still in the industry. For someone like her, the slightest movement would attract everyone’s attention.
Mo Anqi stopped wiping her face. Jiang se looked up as well. It was not unusual for Tao cen to be in France. After all, the French Film Festival was about to begin. suspect, ” which the two of them had co-produced, would be exhibited at the French Film Festival to chase after the grand prize.
Tao cen must have placed great importance on this award as well. Back then, both of their works were screened at the France Film Festival. In the end, they were both nominated, but neither of them was given the honor of ‘Best Actress’. It was a pity for Jiang se, but it should be the same for an ambitious person like Tao cen.
However, even if she wanted to come to France, it shouldn’t be at this time. There were still more than 20 days before the film festival officially started, and Huo Zhiming’s team had yet to move.
“She’s here so early?”
Jiang se was rather curious. She could not help but ask, ” it looks like she’s very determined to win this year’s award.
Xia Chaoqun glanced at her. you still don’t know? ”
“What do I know?”
Xia Chaoqun lowered his head and took a sip of the coffee in front of him. Her eyes were cold and her tone was flat. However, the words that came out of her mouth were like a bomb, ”
Huo Zhiming took ‘the suspect’ to the France Film Festival this year and was in the Best Female Lead selection. she paused for a moment and raised her head. She stuck out her tongue and slowly licked the water off her lips. your and Tao cen’s names were written on it.
In other words, regardless of what Tao cen and other movie fans in China who had known about ” suspect ” in the early stages were thinking, and regardless of whether Tao cen had firmly believed that Jiang se would be the Supporting Actress when he first accepted the role, the situation had been reversed.
In the initial setting of the script, Tao cen’s role as Shen xueran was the main character. Jiang SE’s role as Su Yi was just a supporting character to bring out the fearless side of her character.
However, as the filming progressed, Jiang se had practically turned the tables on her. She had the upper hand and even suppressed Tao cen.
No matter what the public thought, no matter whether some movie fans and the media thought that Tao cen was the main character of the movie, in Huo Zhiming’s heart, it was obvious that Su Yi’s role as Jiang se was not inferior to Shen xuanran’s role as Tao cen.
This situation was extremely embarrassing for Tao cen.
She was a competitive person. On the day of Elysees ‘new car launch, in order to alleviate the embarrassment of Mrs. Zhou standing her up at the last minute, she had taken the initiative to reveal to the media that Jiang se would be acting as a supporting character in the movie ” criminal suspect “. At that time, the movie had not even started filming, but it was already very popular.
The concept of Tao cen as the main character and Jiang se as the secondary character had been deeply rooted in everyone’s hearts. Even now, many movie fans who were looking forward to the scene where the two ‘goddesses’ fought each other believed that Jiang se was merely an important supporting character.
The media had interviewed the crew and found out that she did not have as many scenes as Tao cen. If Huo Zhiming were to register his movie as the double female lead during the exhibition at the France Film Festival, it would probably cause another wave.
It was no wonder Tao cen was so anxious after such a major incident.
Jiang se was stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her senses. When mo Anqi heard the good news, she was both delighted and wanted to laugh.
“Really?”
Xia Chaoqun nodded. Jiang se asked, ”
“How did sister Chaoqun know?”
She gave a half-smile. She watched as the carer massaged Jiang SE’s hand until it was almost done. After applying a thick layer of skin care products, she helped her put on a hand mask and shifted her other hand. Jiang se stared at her, silently urging her to continue with her gaze.
“Have you forgotten that Mr. Luo has invested in the company?”
Mr. Luo? ” mo Anqi asked doubtfully.
Jiang se immediately understood what mo Anqi meant. Mo Anqi did not fully understand what she meant. She had a vague feeling that she had caught on to something, but she was still missing the final step.
Xia Chaoqun had the intention to give her some advice. He explained, ”
“In many people’s eyes, Mr. Luo’s decision to invest in the company was a display of his loyalty to his friends.”
The day Tao cen announced that she would be withdrawing from century Galaxy, which had single-handedly made her famous, and that she would be setting up Space Phoenix Media, the timing was too coincidental. In the eyes of many people, it was inevitable that they would link her departure with Jiang SE’s popularity.
With Jiang SE’s gradual rise, the confrontation between the two major stars of the century Galaxy would inevitably lead to the distribution of resources and competition.
That year at the France Film Festival, the confrontation between ” demon ” and ” Accident ” and the competition for the score at the charity dinner held by ” times of glory ” had already revealed the clues. The subsequent competition for the endorsement of Elysees and the vague competition for the role of chessley’s film had shrouded the relationship between the two with a layer of mystery.
The release of ‘the salvation of God’ and Tao cen’s Declaration of Independence would make people think that she had left at this time because she had no other choice.
She had been popular in Galaxy century for many years. Now that she had ended up in such a state, some people would sympathize with her. They would then think that Jiang se was being aggressive because she was young.
Of course, Luo Yin could use the contract as an excuse to force her to stay.
However, the person who could make her stay might not be able to make her heart stay. Tao cen was determined to leave. Instead of falling out with her, it was better to go with the flow.
He had agreed to her request to leave and even poached half of the company’s staff.
Such a situation would prevent Tao cen from creating the illusion that he had been ‘forced’ to leave, and would also make people in the industry think that Luo Yin was magnanimous.
Tao cen had taken away a group of people, but it did not have much of an impact on the company. In fact, the parties that sided with her had already begun to show signs of it. Luo Yin had also been preparing for a long time. He had already marginalized these people as much as possible. It was not their turn to be involved in the truly important decisions.
Although there was no way to stop them from taking away some of their connections, resources, and customer lists, century Galaxy had tried to minimize the losses.
Tao cen had to pay a large sum of compensation for the breach of contract. She had earned a lot over the years, but the money to buy her freedom was still a huge blow to her.
Later on, she wanted to set up a company and run it. She needed a sum of money to turn around. At this time, Luo Yin came out at the right time.
In fact, no matter what the people outside said, business was business. Luo Yin was a businessman, after all, and he couldn’t sacrifice himself for others.
The amount of money he had taken out was exactly the amount Tao cen had used to redeem his freedom. By investing it in Tao cen’s company, he had absolute authority and initiative. He continued his employer-employee relationship with Tao cen in another way.
after all, century Galaxy spent a lot of effort to cultivate Tao cen. Luo Yin is an old fox. How could he just watch his money tree run away? ”
Xia Chaoqun revealed a smile. Tao cen was already rather intelligent. Having been in the industry for many years, she was well-versed in its workings and was doing very well. However, she had only just entered the game of capitalism. How could she possibly escape from Luo Yin’s grasp?
She thought that she was a fish that had become a dragon after crossing the Dragon Gate. From then on, she would be free and unfettered, no longer trapped in that pool. However, she did not know that leaving this shallow pool was just jumping into another deeper pool.
Mr. Luo, you know very well that water flows to the bottom, and people go to the top. When their wings are hard, they will have to fly. She looked at mo Anqi and said, ”
“Let’s not talk about the celebrities who need to rely on the company for their survival, but it’ll be troublesome for ambitious and capable people like Tao cen to fly. If you want to control them now, you can’t just suppress them. Instead, you have to change your method and keep them in your hands.”
Agreeing to Tao cen’s request to leave with his men was the first step. He had fulfilled his friendship and sold a favor. If this were to be said to the outside world, who wouldn’t praise Luo Yin’s heart?
But in reality? Tao cen had paid a heavy price to redeem himself and set up a company, but he was still being controlled by Luo Yin.
The money from the capital injection was the money she had spent to redeem herself. Luo Yin was the major shareholder of the company and had the right to interfere with her decisions.
