Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Reminder

They finished dining.

As they stepped out of the restaurant, everyone said their farewells.

Seeing Jiang Yuheng getting into his sports car, Xu Yang suddenly remembered he hadn’t yet discussed that matter with Jiang Yuheng. He asked Zhao Yuxin to go back to the car first, then hurriedly ran to Jiang Yuheng’s sports car and knocked on the window.

Jiang Yuheng rolled down the window, looking puzzled, and asked, “Xu, what’s up?”

Xu Yang pointed to the passenger seat, “Can I come in to talk?”

Jiang Yuheng smiled, “Of course, come on in.”

He was very curious about what Xu Yang wanted to talk to him about. Xu Yang’s actions indicated that he wanted to discuss something that he didn’t want others to know.

Xu Yang got into the passenger seat, and Jiang Yuheng looked at him, waiting for him to start talking.

Xu Yang carefully chose his words, then said, “Young Master Jiang, are you planning to meet a friend later on?”

Jiang Yuheng was taken aback and asked with some surprise, “How did you know?”

He had received a call from his friend on the way to the restaurant, which had led him to decide to visit his friend in the afternoon.

This was something he hadn’t told anyone.

“You don’t need to worry about how I know. I also know that the friend you’re going to meet might harm you,” Xu Yang said bluntly.

He didn’t bother making up any excuses; he simply put it that way. Whether Jiang Yuheng believed it or not, there was nothing he could do.

“What! How is that possible!” Jiang Yuheng was astonished. “How do you know my friend could harm me?”

The friend he was planning to visit was actually his girlfriend.

The two had met by chance. Jiang Yuheng thought her personality was quite nice, and after interacting for some time, he didn’t care about his girlfriend’s family background and, despite his father’s disapproval, they got together.

Jiang Yuheng treated his girlfriend very well and spent time with her whenever he could.

He even bought an apartment for his girlfriend to live in.

Today, on the way to the restaurant, his girlfriend had called, saying she felt unwell, so he felt he must go and see her.

“I can’t tell you how I know, but as a friend, I hope you won’t meet with that friend of yours. If you really must go, I suggest you take one or two people with you,” Xu Yang said earnestly.

“Brother Xu, I really can’t believe what you’re saying,” Jiang Yuheng was incredulous.

How could his girlfriend harm him?

“Young Master Jiang, that’s all I’m going to say. Whether you believe it or not, and what you do about it, is up to you. Goodbye.”

Having said that, Xu Yang got out of the car.

He had given his warning; if Jiang Yuheng chose not to believe him or heed his advice, that was beyond his control.

Jiang Yuheng’s expression changed constantly.

Xu Yang had no reason to drive a wedge between him and his girlfriend.

Could it be that Xu Yang knew his father, and his father had asked Xu Yang to come and undermine his relationship with his girlfriend?

But how could Xu Yang know he was planning to see his girlfriend that afternoon?

Did Xu Yang know something?

Could his girlfriend really be planning to harm him?

Why would she do that when he believed he had done nothing wrong towards her?

A series of questions emerged in Jiang Yuheng’s mind.

After thinking it over, Jiang Yuheng took out his phone and dialed a number.

Xu Yang returned to the car.

With curiosity, Zhao Yuxin asked, “Honey, what did you talk to Jiang Yuheng about?”

Xu Yang smiled, “Nothing much, just some idle chit-chat.”

Zhao Yuxin did not press further.

If Xu Yang wanted to share, he would; if he didn’t, then that was that. She didn’t need to know at all costs.

Anyway, Xu Yang must have his reasons for not saying.

She said, “Honey, just now Lin Junyi brought up the short video thing again, and I really think you could give it a try, pick a direction, make some short videos, who knows, you might become a super internet celebrity.”

Xu Yang laughed, “I really don’t want to be a super internet celebrity, if that happens, I would be watched even when I step out of the house, I don’t want that.”

Zhao Yuxin laughed, “This is what countless people dream of, yet you don’t like it.”

Xu Yang shook his head, “Everyone has their own aspiration, I don’t like being watched by people, I’d rather just lead my ordinary rich man’s life.”

When he was younger, seeing the bright lights on celebrities, Xu Yang felt a longing.

But as he grew up, that longing faded.

And now that he had the system, he was destined to reach the summit, why would he care about such things.

What super internet celebrity, not worth one of his fingers.

He had no wish to be watched like a monkey when he went out in the future.

This past week, aside from occasionally paying attention to the stock and futures markets, he was also contemplating what to do.

But after a lot of thought, he still hadn’t decided.

He wasn’t in a hurry, with the Investment Master Skill, even if he didn’t work, he could still make money in the stock and futures markets.

He would wait and see, and the system wouldn’t treat him unfairly; it should show him the way to make money. He would just follow the path provided by the system.

As he thought about it, just as he finished speaking, the system’s notification sound chimed in his mind.

[Ding! Douyin short video platform shall soon become the hegemon of the short video domain!]

[Fengcai Guild, under the leadership of Chairman Xiao Dongsheng, will become the top guild on the Douyin platform!]

[Currently, Fengcai Guild is facing operational difficulties, and Xiao Dongsheng intends to sell the guild!]

[Additionally: Attached is a development strategy for Douyin’s future and a list of future internet celebrities. They have been sent to the host’s email, please check!]

Xu Yang’s eyes brightened.

He couldn’t invest in the Douyin platform.

After all, Douyin was under Byte Beat Motion Company, and even if they were looking for investors, he wasn’t eligible to participate. Those who could participate in investing were all super capitalists.

But investing in the guilds within it was still possible.

And since Fengcai Guild was having operational difficulties, it shouldn’t cost too much to acquire it.

Plus, with the list of future celebrity hosts, after acquiring Fengcai Guild, he could sign these hosts and then just wait to collect the money.

Thinking of this, Xu Yang was delighted, grinning from ear to ear.

“Honey, what are you laughing about?”

Zhao Yuxin, seeing Xu Yang suddenly laughing, couldn’t help but be full of question marks.

“Uh…” Xu Yang came back to his senses, suppressing his smile, “I was just thinking that the short video field really does have prospects, I’ve decided, I’ll get into the short video industry.”

Zhao Yuxin expressed her confusion, “Didn’t you just say you didn’t want to become an internet celebrity and didn’t want to be gawked at when you go out?”

How had the topic changed so suddenly?

Xu Yang chuckled, “Wife, making short videos doesn’t necessarily mean becoming an internet celebrity.”

Zhao Yuxin asked doubtfully, “Then what do you do?”

She wasn’t very familiar with this line of business.

Lin Junyi and the others only talked about how to make short videos, shoot live videos, and such, without touching on anything else.

Xu Yang said, “You can run a guild. Acquire or establish a guild, it’s just like a company. I’ll be the boss, and let the internet celebrities make money for me, isn’t that even better?”

Zhao Yuxin’s eyes lit up, “That’s actually a great idea, this way you don’t have to be a public figure, won’t get gawked at, and can still make money in the short video industry.”

Xu Yang laughed, “That’s exactly my point, and in the future, you’ll be the lady boss!”

Zhao Yuxin giggled, then said, “But establishing a guild, something you’ve never done, might be quite difficult.”

Xu Yang said, “I know. Let’s go home first, I want to check if there are any guilds available for acquisition; if there are, it won’t be so troublesome.”
