"Your… Your company… Blarrgghhh…"
Feeling a sense of sharp ache in the heart to the deepest part of his soul, Shi Haoxiang coughed out a mouthful of warm blood. Without saying a word, Chen Xiaobei just watched him from far with a cold stare.
"Everyone… Help me please…"
Immediately, Shi Haoxiang turned to the rest of the seven shareholders and implored, "Xi Xiang Entertainment is the kingdom that we built together… Please help me…"
"Dream on! You treated us like fools as while you schemed behind our backs! Then, you treated us like bitches when you got what you wanted! Now you're asking for our help when you lost everything? Dream on! I, myself am approving of CEO Chen as the biggest shareholder of Xi Xiang Entertainment!"
"That's right! Now, you are telling us that you built this kingdom with us? What were you saying just earlier? I, too agree to let CEO Chen become the biggest shareholder of Xi Xiang Entertainment!"
"No! The name, Xi Xiang should be erased from the entertainment industry completely! From now on, Xi Xiang will cease to exist! No more Shi Haoxiang!"
"All of us stand with CEO Chen! Security! Please escort Shi Haoxiang out of the premises!"
....
All seven shareholders stood their ground, not a single one supported Shi Haoxiang! Knowing all his dirty deeds, all of them could only harbor feelings of hatred towards him. They could not wait to exile Shi Haoxiang from the entertainment industry!
*Blarrgghh*
Once again, Shi Haoxiang vomited a mouthful of warm blood. This die-alone ending was too much for him to bear. In the end, the security guards had to carry him out of the building. Seeing what had happened, all the employees of Xi Xiang Entertainment were so terrified that they almost peed their pants.
"CEO Chen… We are sorry… We shouldn't look down on you… It's all out fault… Please don't lower yourself down to the same level as us… We will not make the same mistake anymore…"
The sound of begging could be heard outside the meeting room. Some of them even started to slap themselves non-stop. Knowing that Chen Xiaobei was not the CEO of the company, he became the person to decide their fates in this company.
"It's good that you guys know that you are at fault and willing to make changes! Don't worry. I will not hold any grudges against any of you here! Just put more effort in your work!"
Upon hearing Chen Xiaobei's announcement, all the employees let out a sigh of relief. They were grateful for mercy. If Shi Haoxiang was still the one that was in charge of this company, every single one of them would suffer greatly if they offended him. When the two of them were put in comparison, Chen Xiaobei was definitely tens of thousands times better than Shi Haoxiang.
At the same moment, somewhere in the heavenly realm.
*Cough*
*Cough
*Cough*
Lei Zhenzi choked in his own saliva while he was laughing at Chen Xiaobei.
"How… How can this be…"
"This whole thing was supposed to be a deadlock… How did this unforeseen changes come by? This is not possible…"
A few minutes ago, the two of them thought that they had everything under control. Knowing that they could defeat Chen Xiaobei, they even started to laugh at Chen Xiaobei's stupidity and boasted of Chanism's pride and glory. However, all those things that they did became dozens of invisible slaps on their faces.
.....
"Qincheng, please come here."
While Song Qincheng was still in a daze, Chen Xiaobei pulled her to the chairperson's seat and sat her on it while holding on to her elegant shoulders.
"Xiaobei? What are you trying to do?
Finally, Song Qincheng recovered from her state of bewilderment.
"Sit down. I want to announce three important matters while everyone is here!"
"Firstly, Xi Xiang Entertainment will be renamed to Qin Cheng Entertainment!"
"Secondly, Song Qincheng will become the vice president of this company! She will be representing me to deal with all the matters in this company!"
"Finally, every single employee from this company, from vice president to cleaner will receive a ten percent increment in salary! Just make sure to help Boss Song with her work and I will make sure everyone will receive different kinds of benefits from time to time!"
Upon hearing Chen Xiaobei's promises, everyone was delighted.
"Increment! Oh my god! Am I hearing it wrong? I have been working in Xi Xiang Entertainment for five years and I have never heard of the word, increment!"
"And, we are going to receive even more benefits in the future! Suddenly, I feel like my future is full of hope!"
"CEO Chen, don't you worry! We will definitely try our best to help Boss Song with her work! We will fight for the company and our future at the same time!"
"Boss Chen is the best! Boss Chen is the best!"
...…..
Everyone was cheering for Chen Xiaobei. Knowing that the company's benefits were tied closely to their own benefits, all the employees were filled with motivation to help the company to grow even more! It was a win-win situation for them.
"Xiao… Xiaobei… Pinch me… Am I dreaming?"
One exciting event after another, Song Qincheng found it hard to believe all the good thing that happened around her. Never even in her dreams, would she imagine that the biggest company in the entertainment industry, Xi Xiang Entertainment would turn into Qin Cheng Entertainment! As for herself, she was promoted from a small-time president of a small company to the vice president of this big company.
"Pumpkin, of course it's real! Have you forgotten that I told you that Qin Cheng Entertainment will become the biggest company in the entertainment industry? Now, you are on the same level as Zhang Wen."
"I-I remember that. But, I just find it hard to believe that you made it come true so quickly!"
"Well, that's because your man is fast and efficient at everything that he does!"
With his chest puffed out, Chen Xiaobei was filled with the sense of achievement.
"Well, it is really fast and efficient. However, when we make love, please don't make it fast!"
Upon hearing Song Qincheng's flirtatious words, the beast within Chen Xiaobei's heart was unleashed! Since the last time he had a taste on making love with a woman, he found it really hard to resist his urges.
"We can't do it today! I still need to deal with Li Sanqian's matter. I must talk to Fruit Channel as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!"
*Blarrgghh*
Chen Xiaobei almost coughed out a mouthful of blood to the ceiling after being cock blocked.
'Why did you seduce me if you know we can't do it today? This is not good for my manhood! It might cause impotence!"
Seeing that Chen Xiaobei was frustrated, Song Qincheng felt kind of guilty. She then said in a soft tone, "Tomorrow night! I will let you do whatever you want to do to me after their show ends! Deal?"
"Okay. Remember what you promised me."
Actually, he was thinking about their performance and the bet with Jiang Ziya and Lei Zhenzi. Without dealing with these two, he would not be able to enjoy a great lovemaking session as well.
Tomorrow night!
A lot of things would be decided after they performed on stage for three minutes!
____________________399----_------------
The issue went by smoothly as everything was set in stone. Converting a shell company to a real company was more than enough to prove that her gorgeous looks did come along with her extraordinary capability. She was just like the one and only female emperor, Wu Zetian. Not only did she possess beauty that made two emperors from the Tang Dynasty fall for her, she had great talent to rule a country as well! That was why Chen Xiaobei was more than happy enough to hand over the company for Song Qincheng to handle.
With the help of seven shareholders and all the other employees, Song Qincheng managed to get used to the company's routine in a short period of time. The handover was smooth, as she had experience in the entertainment industry for a few years and managed an entertainment agency company. After that, Song Qincheng went looking for the CEO of Fruit Channel with her new identity to build a better relationship.
Basically, right after Shi Haoxiang was kicked out from this game – Song Qincheng could see the pros and cons of everything that she had to deal with. Meanwhile, the CEO of Fruit Channel was not dumb at all. Knowing that the tree that supported him had fallen, he would definitely not cling on to it. Let alone going against Song Qincheng and Zhang Wen. Immediately, he changed his mind after he met Song Qincheng.
With that being said, NeZha, Hong Hai'er, and Lin Nan's performance would carry on as usual.
...…..
The day went by faster than anyone expected and was now the second day. After dinner, Chen Xiaobei and his family were sitting in front of the television. Murong Xiaoyao was helping Zhang Chui'er make tea and cut fruits. Chen Zhongfu, Murong Tian, and Jin Liu were talking about bonsai. Even Old Wang shifted all his streaming equipment to livestream the performance to his three hundred thousand fans.
Of course, the busiest person in the room was none other than Chen Xiaobei. He had to promote this upcoming show to his Weibo. With the help of his fans, NeZha, Hong Hai'er, and Lin Nan's performance would be promoted to the whole internet. Thought Chen Xiaobei had not logged in and manage his Weibo account for some time, his fans had increased to seven hundred and fifty thousand due to his recent boost in charm! They were extremely loyal and active as well. Right after Chen Xiaobei told them to share the performance with others – Weibo, QQ Group, their circle of friends, Baidu Tieba, and other forums were filled with their shared posts.
With the help of group power, three million people were attracted to watch the performance. Chen Xiaobei helped all three of them created a shared Weibo account before the start of the show and people from around the world had already started following them.
Considering that the audience rating for Fruit Channel's golden hour was extremely high, bringing in more fans had never been so easy since most of the audience were teenagers. In other words, Chen Xiaobei had won the bet.
"The show begins now! Begin now! Everyone! Come quick!" Murong Xiaoyao squealed. Her gorgeous and big eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation.
On the stage, NeZha, Hong Hai'er, and Lin Nan walked out from the backstage at the same time. The combination of their good looks, fashionable hairstyles and clothes, and their professionalism that they had been practicing all this while managed to make everyone screamed when the light shone on them.
"Nice! It is really them! This is great! They are going to have a promising future!"
Zhang Chui'er could not stop smiling. At the same time, Chen Zhongfu and Jinliu nodded their heads with a smile on their faces as well. Murong Tian was really good at judging others. Upon watching their performance, he said in a calm voice, "All three of them are actually pretty good at what they are doing! With their handsome looks, I'm pretty sure they will become famous really soon!"
When the music played, all three of them started to dance and sing. The song that played while they were performing was a fast-paced song. Supposedly, the difficulty of this performance was extremely high since they needed to sing and dance at the same time. However, their hard work finally paid off. Their performance had managed to make everyone fall for them immediately.
Their performance lasted for around four minutes and it was more than enough for everyone to cheer for them! On the internet, Old Wang's streaming room was flooded with praises about all three of them. The number of people following them increased tremendously on Weibo as well. Soon, they were going to have one hundred thousand fans following them! With this speed, overtaking Chen Xiaobei was just a matter of time.
"Celebrities and internet sensations are actually very different. Considering that they just stepped foot in entertainment circle not too long ago, millions of fans are going to go after them if they become really famous in the future! What that being said, those deities that are about to travel down to the human realm to carry out the mission could be turned into superstars through Qin Cheng Entertainment! Recruiting disciples would be easy! Well, that's the future! Now, it's time to look for Jiang Ziya and Lei Zhenzi to claim my reward! Hehehe…"
Needless to say, recruiting thirty thousand disciples out of hundreds of thousands of disciples should be an easy job. Though their ten-day deal was not reached, the result of the bet was already revealed.
Entering the Red Envelope Group.
Chen Xiaobei: @Jiang Ziya, @Lei Zhenzi. Show your face! It's time to conclude out bet!
Jiang Ziya: Shidi Xiaobei, it's not time yet. Why the rush?
Lei Zhenzi: That's right! The time that we agreed on is ten days! Today is only the seventh day! There's no need to be rush!
Chen Xiaobei: Little Lei, have you forgotten something?
Lei Zhenzi: Err… I hereby welcome Shishu Xiaobei to enter the group. ?
Chen Xiaobei: What a good boy! ? I know this is only the seventh day but NeZha and Hong Hai'er had already recruited enough disciples for me to win the bet! There will be more disciples go to them if you plan to delay longer! Both of you should have known that you guys have lost this bet! There is no way for you to deny the result of this bet! Just give me what you promised and be free from this debt!
Jiang Ziya: But… What if something changes in the next three days?
Chen Xiaobei: Please stop lying to yourself… There are three days left. All they need to do is stay at home. Enlighten me! What kind of changes will happen to them?
Jiang Ziya: This…
Lei Zhenzi: Shishu Xiaobei, can you make an exception this time?
Chen Xiaobei: What do you think?
Lei Zhenzi: ...
Chen Xiaobei: Cut the crap. There are so many witnesses in this group. There is simply no way for you guys to break your promises! Give me the items that you promised me! I need to attend to some important matters!
With that being said, Jiang Ziya and Lei Zhenzi were rendered speechless. The two of them were after all the reputable deities of Chanism. If they were to break the promise, Chen Xiaobei would definitely humiliate them in the group. In the end, both of them and Chanism would be embarrassed.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have received 200,000 merit points!]
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have snatched a Red Envelope from Lei Zhenzi. You have acquired a Somersault Cloud! It had been stored inside your treasure chest!]
"Got my Red Envelope! This earning is huge! Wahaha…"
Feeling extremely excited, Chen Xiaobei quickly informed his parents that he wanted to head out.
"Sister Qincheng! Here I come!"
_______________400_______________
Ding!
[Your current merit points is 580,000. You need another 320,000 merit points to proceed to the next level! (Charm: 58,000. Luck: 58,000)!]
"This is freaking awesome! Taking two hundred thousand merit points in one go! My charm and luck have increased tremendously since I just received a huge sum of merit points! Something special will happen soon! I believe that the exciting matter that I'm going to do tonight will be smooth sailing! Hehehe! "
While walking to the garage, Chen Xiaobei had some exciting thoughts flowing in his mind.
Upon reaching the garage, Chen Xiaobei did not drive the car that he usually drove. Instead, he kept the car inside his treasure chest. The size of the car is smaller than the dragon's dick that he acquired earlier. Putting the car into his treasure chest was no trouble at all.
"Next, let me try the Somersault Cloud! I want to be as cool as the legendary Monkey King! Wahaha!"
Smiling excitedly, Chen Xiaobei could not wait to withdraw the Somersault Cloud from his treasure chest. Rays of golden light emanated from the cloud that was as small as a palm. It looked like a cotton candy floating above Chen Xiaobei's palm – so magical!
"What a good item! Its spiritual strength is no weaker than the Thunder Pool Tesseract!"
Chen Xiaobei was examining it slowly. Through the spiritual bridge, he managed to build a spiritual connection with it. Now, he could control it with his mind like how most of his items worked.
*Fwoooo*
Chen Xiaobei blew at it and the Somersault Cloud started rolled in the air three rounds before it expanded to a meter wide.
"Can I stand on it now?"
Both of his eyes were shining bright, as if he had reclaimed his childlike innocence. He was filled with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. With his right leg lifted, he tried to step on the cloud. The Somersault Cloud did not disperse like a fog, instead, his leg was wrapped by a few small clouds.
"This is so magical! It was as if the Somersault Cloud has become part of my body!"
Filled with excitement, Chen Xiaobei placed his left leg on the cloud as well. While he stood steadily on the cloud, he could feel that he was walking on zero-gravity ground, like in space. It was simply amazing!
"Rise!"
Immediately, the Somersault Cloud started to rise in mid-air.
"Damn! Success! I can finally ride with this cloud!"
At that moment, there were no words to describe his feelings. He was riding the Somersault Cloud like a deity. To most of the people, this had always been their childhood dream. This beautiful dream had finally come true for Chen Xiaobei! According to the Monkey King, this Somersault Cloud was made of Divine Prosperity Cloud. Though it was not meant for attacking, it could bring a person traveling hundreds of thousands of miles every day.
To an ordinary human being like Chen Xiaobei, this Somersault Cloud was just too damn cool!
"Let's go!"
With that command, the Somersault Cloud sped into the high sky. It was so fast that there was no way for the naked eye to spot it. Like a meteor, it created afterimages in its trail under a starry sky!
"This is so satisfying!"
Speed and passion had brought forth a sense of feeling that Chen Xiaobei had not felt before. He could feel that adrenaline was rushing and blood was boiling in his body.
...
In less than two minutes, Chen Xiaobei arrived at ex-Xi Xiang Entertainment and it had been renamed to Qin Cheng Entertainment. After seeing a room with no people inside it, Chen Xiaobei flew into it. He then kept his Somersault Cloud in his treasure chest and walked to the floor where Song Qincheng worked. It was already nine in the evening but there were still a lot of people working inside the building. They were moving box and box of stuff into the inventory.
"Boss Chen… Boss Chen…"
Upon seeing Chen Xiaobei step foot in the office, all the employees greeted him politely. Out of politeness, Chen Xiaobei nodded at them.
"Why are you here so early? I thought we are supposed to meet at nine thirty? I think I need ten minutes more to finish my work!"
Standing in front of the inventory, Song Qincheng had a small booklet in her hand – keeping track of inventory. A sweet smile appeared on her face when she saw Chen Xiaobei walking towards her.
"I can't wait to see you. Is there a problem? Recently, you have been dealing with Wenyuan and Sanqian's group performance. I know it has been a rough journey for you! You should just leave all these small matters to your employees. It is not necessary for you to attend to it personally."
"That's a big no! All these props here are extremely important! Zhang Wen needs all of them for the Grand Tale of Tang Dynasty! She is my most important work partner! I have to treat all these props with care!"
For sure, Chen Xiaobei did remember that Zhang Wen and Shi Haoxiang used to work together to direct this musical show. Now that Shi Haoxiang was kicked out from the entertainment industry, Zhang Wen had to deal with Song Qincheng. With that, this musical show would become her first ever assignment after taking over Xi Xiang Entertainment. This would determine whether she could stand strong in her new company. Dealing with all the matters personally had become a priority for her.
"Relax. Don't worry about all those problems! It's really no big deal! I'm here to solve them for you!"
"You are really good at taking good care of me! Seeing that you are such a caring person, I have to work even harder to make sure that I will not become the spoiled woman that caused you to spend hundreds of millions to buy this company!"
"A problem is not a problem when money can be used to solve them! You can use my money however way you like it as long as it makes you happy!"
"Eeek…"
The way her soulful eyes looked at Chen Xiaobei, one could tell that she was getting aroused. Chen Xiaobei's speech was like honey to her. All the while, she liked listening to Chen Xiaobei's sweet talk – leaving her with no resistance against his dominance. She would definitely make love with him right now if there were no people around her.
"Boss Song, this box contains Wu Zetian's accessories. Director Zhang mentioned that we need to take good care of this box. Everything inside must be accounted for!"
A young employee held a jewelry box and walked towards Song Qincheng. Dozens of jewelry could be seen in different compartments when the box was opened. Thought they all looked shiny, Chen Xiaobei could see that all of them were just stage jewelry with no real value.
"Okay. You can leave them in my office. I will check them out personally later."
"Hold on!"
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei was shocked to see a special bead bracelet. Though it was made of plastic, its shape was exactly the same with the Beaded Blood Amber Bracelet that he found on Bi Yuntao.
Lifting the bead bracelet while looking at the young employee, Chen Xiaobei asked in a solemn tone, "Did you just say that this bead bracelet belongs to Wu Zetian? Are you sure?"
