Fury Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1769 - 1772: Zhai Zhijie's Investment

While putting on his clothes, Shen Qiang paused for a moment as he took the call and said, "I will seriously consider what you said, let's just leave it at that for now. I have an appointment and need to get there quickly."Bianyi laughed upon hearing this, "That once-in-a-millennium beauty, actress Song Weiyin?"

Shen Qiang was taken aback, "How do you know about this?"

Bianyi chuckled, "It doesn't take much to guess. Rumors about the beauty actress and the medical genius are everywhere now. If you pay any attention, you'll see it. And she looks so much like Qingxuan. I can almost imagine her standing in front of me one day saying, 'Hello, I am Qingxuan.'

In an instant, Shen Qiang's expression turned stern, "What did you say?"

"My dear boss, nothing in this world is black and white. I know you too well. I can guess what you're planning, so you don't need to make up lies to deceive me, nor explain and cover up. I know she is your backup plan because Qingxuan means a lot to you."

Hearing Bianyi's words, Shen Qiang, face cold, rolled his neck, and amid the creaking sound of the bones, he calmly replied, "This isn't something for you to overthink. Do what you need to do."

Bianyi laughed, "No problem, if you need me to squash those rumors, I can have our network security advisor Hao Deben wipe out that online gossip. I can also create some bigger news to shift the focus."

"Keep an eye on the Qingyun Sword Pavilion. What you need to do is not meddle with my tabloid scandals, but expand Heshenghe to the extent that you can act however you want in the Cultivation World!" With that, Shen Qiang, looking very cold, hung up the phone.

Standing at the door, Ke Bizhu hesitantly looked at Shen Qiang, whose face was dark, and asked, "Shen Qiang, what did Bianyi say to make you look like this?"

Shen Qiang smiled, gently kissed Ke Bizhu, and said, "Go prepare the car, we'll head out in five minutes."

Ke Bizhu sighed, and went to prepare the car. Meanwhile, Shen Qiang decisively searched the internet for Song Weiyin's rumors.

In an instant, the search engine returned over twenty thousand results.

"Hidden for years, actress' romance finally uncovered!"

"Big scoop, actress alone with boyfriend in a mobile home, assistant standing guard."

"Actress' boyfriend enters industry, snatches role from leading actor!"

Seeing the screen full of similar messages, Shen Qiang frowned deeply.

He casually clicked on a webpage and immediately saw a photo of himself dressed as Chu Liuxiang. The content inside roughly suggested Shen Qiang was Song Weiyin's boyfriend and had acted in a film, using money to steal the leading actor's role as Chu Liuxiang.

The contents were almost identical; Shen Qiang went through several posts, which all essentially said the same thing.

Nothing much stood out, but the real point of interest was a post titled, "Actress alone with boyfriend in a mobile home."

Not only were there photos of Shen Qiang getting into the car, but also leaving it, all time-stamped. Furthermore, there were pictures of Song Weiyin's female assistant holding a cat outside the car. From the moment Shen Qiang got in, to when he left, it took a total of 9 minutes and 57 seconds.

Although this part was factual and accurate, the truly entertaining part was not the content itself, but the wildly imaginative responses from netizens, which were far more explosive than the post's actual content.

"Let go of our Goddess, let me in!"

"Boost me up, let's beat this guy who dared to get in the Goddess' car!"

"What the... I'm just calculating, for me and my wife's thirty seconds, he stayed for 9 minutes and 57 seconds, rounding off, adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing..."

Shen Qiang couldn't help but laugh upon seeing these messages, also realizing how colorful and imaginative they were.

But unless the time was at least ten times longer, nothing would happen with Shen Qiang's physical condition.

However, Shen Qiang genuinely had no interest in such gossip news.

First, whether there are rumors or not doesn't affect Shen Qiang at all.

Second, for a man, being rumored with such a great beauty like Song Weiyin isn't something shameful, so Shen Qiang simply closed the webpage, not caring one bit about what others were saying.

While Shen Qiang headed to his appointment with the stunning actress Song Weiyin,

dressed in a sharp suit with a hint of a pocket square, Zhai Zhijie walked into the film company's conference room with a harsh expression.

"Mr. Zhai, you're here, please have a seat."

With the film company manager's hospitality, Zhai Zhijie arrogantly seated himself on the sofa.

Once all the executives were present, the lights in the meeting room dimmed.

Then, on the large screen, appeared Song Weiyin in a white dress, radiantly beautiful, and subsequently Shen Qiang, with the two's series of performances surprising everyone present.

"Interesting, though not explicitly stated, their dialogue and content make it clear there is definitely a close relationship between Chu Liuxiang and this beautiful actress."

"Indeed, very good, especially this male actor, who captures Chu Liuxiang's carefree, hedonistic style perfectly; it's almost flawless."

"Hmm, Song Weiyin's appearance is very captivating too; having her is a guarantee of box office returns."

The short investment film received unanimous approval from the executives.

The film company's manager then smiled and said, "As you all have seen, Miss Song Weiyin leads in this short film, ensuring box office success. Currently, the budget for the entire film is estimated at three hundred million. I'm not sure if..."

Upon hearing this, the previously agreeable executives fell silent, exchanging glances filled with hesitation.

"Chu Liuxiang has been remade countless times, enduring on screen for ages. Coupled with Miss Song Weiyin, in theory, it should do well at the box office. But it's a double-edged sword, as viewers are so familiar with this character, making any breakthrough difficult. Investing three hundred million to remake Chu Liuxiang does have its risks."

"Right, while Miss Song Weiyin guarantees box office returns, this period film with its conservative style—who would pay big bucks to watch that? It'd be better to switch to a modern youth idol drama, throw in some swimwear scenes, and as for the script, just hire a few people to put something together."

"Hmm, makes sense. Times have changed, after all; who watches such conservative filming styles anymore? And as for this Chu Liuxiang actor, he seems like an unknown. It would be better to choose a box office drawing male lead actor."

Listening to this, Zhai Zhijie, seated on the sofa and having already recognized Shen Qiang, stood up with a cold expression and said, "Jinyao Group can invest one hundred million in this film, but on one condition: the role of Chu Liuxiang must be played by Shen Qiang."
