Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?

Even though Yang Xiaoxiu has matured a lot, she still looks like a little girl in front of Li Jing.

Since 'Mortal' premiered half a month ago, its box office and word of mouth have soared, surpassing all other films during the May Day period and, as Wen Lan and Wei Jia predicted, becoming the biggest dark horse this year.

The actors in this film have all seen their popularity skyrocket as well.

Yang Xiaoxiu, as the second female lead, has received overwhelming attention. Already performing well in variety shows, her fame has skyrocketed following the film's success, bringing her into the public's eye.

That's why her studio was just established not long ago, and before the staff could approach businesses and resources, numerous activities and programs proactively reached out to collaborate with Yang Xiaoxiu.

This entire week, Yang Xiaoxiu traveled northeast and west, flying to five cities across the country.

Fortunately, the studio team was organized in time and consisted of professionals from the industry, helping to alleviate much of Yang Xiaoxiu's pressure, preventing her from being overwhelmed under such high work intensity.

This time's event was just in Tianhai, giving Yang Xiaoxiu the opportunity to meet Li Jing, so she immediately called to invite him over.

Thus, Li Jing, as the 'hands-off boss,' specially came to pick her up after 'work'.

"So, how does it feel to be a big star?"

Li Jing raised an eyebrow and asked while starting the sports car.

"I just have a bit of heat recently; I am far from being a big star."

Yang Xiaoxiu wasn't dazzled by the short-lived popularity, had a clear recognition of her positioning, and replied seriously, "But my start has been much better than others, so I plan to take advantage of the momentum and have already settled the next film role with Director Wen.

And I found that I am quite suited for some outdoor performance variety shows, so I have asked the studio team to approach the top three rated variety shows.

Trying to continue appearing in the public's vision during the interval before the next film starts, so people don't forget me too quickly."

After hearing the other's arrangement, Li Jing nodded approvingly.

From the first time Yang Xiaoxiu approached him in the crew, he saw her as a girl with a lot of ideas and execution power.

The fact proved that his vision was right, Yang Xiaoxiu, regardless of before or after gaining popularity, has always been very clear-headed and rational about her mindset and ideas, with clear planning and direction for her future path.

"I see you are very likely to become a top domestic star in the future."

Li Jing turned a corner at the intersection and laughed, "By then, I might be overshadowed by your brilliance…"

"Brother Jing!"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Xiaoxiu's delicate and slender eyebrows furrowed, showing some displeasure, "Why do you keep saying that? I said you are always my Brother Jing, and my boss.

No matter what I become, I will never forget that you changed me."

Speaking, Yang Xiaoxiu gazed at his sharp side profile, her cheeks slightly red, and then shifted her gaze to the road ahead: "You are still my first man and my only man, I won't leave you no matter what."

After hearing this, Li Jing glanced at the other's exquisite face, smiled, "Alright, alright, I take back what I said just now.

By the way, have you decided on the final location for the studio?"

Due to the hurried studio setup, the current office location is just a temporary place found with Wen Lan's help.

The final office location is still being searched for.

"There are a few choices, still under consideration."

Upon mentioning this, Yang Xiaoxiu became serious again: "Due to the nature of our work, not only must the studio location be conveniently located in terms of transportation, but it also needs privacy to avoid some issues, and we need to consider the surrounding facilities and space size…

So we're mainly looking at three locations, one is Celestial Essence Square at the edge of the development zone, suitable in various aspects but slightly remote, making it inconvenient for most studio members to commute.

The second is Investment Mansion in the core business area but lacks privacy.

The last one is at Global Center, reasonably good all around, but the rent and management fee are slightly expensive, around forty thousand a month."

"Just these three?"

Li Jing raised an eyebrow, puzzled, "Didn't I accompany you to see one before? I remember you were quite satisfied with it back then."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoxiu smiled helplessly, "Brother Jing, you're talking about Tianhai International Center, right?

That was the first place we looked at, inexperienced then. While it is indeed great and has excellent security measures to limit outsiders, it is just too expensive, with rent alone six hundred thousand a month, plus other studio costs, our monthly expenses would be too high."

Hearing this, Li Jing finally nodded in realization.

He had provided Yang Xiaoxiu's studio with three million in start-up capital, although it seemed like a lot, if you factor in wages, equipment costs, operational promotion fees, and various other expenditures, the amount left for renting the place is not much.

Though Yang Xiaoxiu's work development prospects look good now, she still must rely on Li Jing's money to support her for quite a long time during the initial stage to gradually achieve profitability.

Therefore, Yang Xiaoxiu being extremely cautious in choosing the studio's location is understandable.

"Alright, you make the decision on this, just let me know when you do."

Li Jing accelerated past the traffic light in the last five seconds and then asked, "You rarely get to take a break today, where do you plan to go?"

"To your home…"

As she spoke, Yang Xiaoxiu paused suddenly and then asked, "An Tong isn't there, right?"

Previously, Yang Xiaoxiu almost got caught by An Tong while in Li Jing's room, scaring her into always confirming no one else was at Li Jing's house.

"No, An Tong got quite a shock last time, so she now always asks my permission before coming over."

Yang Xiaoxiu was relieved to hear this, and then joyfully said, "Then let's go home, it's been a long time since I've been to your place, I've declined other events for the next couple of days just to spend more time with you."

"Oh?"

Li Jing was surprised, then slightly smiled, "Alright, let's relax then."

"Thank you, Brother Jing!"

After saying that, Yang Xiaoxiu couldn't help but lean over and gave a passionate kiss on his face.

Just as Li Jing smiled and prepared to speak again, a system message suddenly popped up in his mind.

["Actor's Life" experience completed.

Task objectives: Participate in a film or TV project, play a role, and leave a lasting impression on the audience.

Reward: One billion yuan. As the first experience task, the original reward of one billion yuan is increased to ten billion yuan.

Current total reward balance: 1.528 billion yuan.]

Buzz!

Receiving the system message, Li Jing couldn't help but widen his eyes, instinctively stepping on the brake and slowing down the sports car.

Fifteen billion…

The string of numbers in his mind made even Li Jing, who had spent on various luxury venues, tremble inside.

This time, it directly rewarded ten billion…

His pupils subtly trembled, his mind in turmoil.

This is the largest reward he has ever received; not even subsequent rewards from completing internet celebrity experience tasks come close.

His assets finally broke the ten billion mark, definitely worth marking as an event.

"Brother Jing, what's wrong?"

Seeing Li Jing suddenly braking, Yang Xiaoxiu was also startled, instinctively grasping Li Jing's arm in alarmed curiosity.

"Nothing."

Li Jing let out a long sigh, steadied the speed once more, and then smiled, "I just thought of something happy."

"Something happy?" Yang Xiaoxiu tilted her head in confusion.

"You don't have to worry about the studio location anymore, I chose it for you."

"Huh?" Yang Xiaoxiu was somewhat puzzled, asking, "Brother Jing, which one did you choose?"

"Just choose the most expensive and best one, Tianhai International Center."

Seeing the other startled, preparing to speak, Li Jing explained, "Don't worry about the money; I'll cover this year's rent as a present celebrating your success."

"This?!"

Yang Xiaoxiu was full of surprise but hadn't understood the reason Li Jing was suddenly so happy.

Naturally, Li Jing wouldn't tell her it was because he suddenly made ten billion, then turned the steering wheel and switched lanes.

"Brother Jing, aren't we going home?" Seeing him change direction, Yang Xiaoxiu asked again in confusion.

"Not anymore, you rarely get a break; I'll take you to experience somewhere nice."

"What kind of place?"

"Tianhai Oriental Pearl."

"Can you rest there?" Yang Xiaoxiu was surprised.

"Yeah, there's the world's highest hotel at two hundred and thirty meters up, with only one guest room."

Li Jing took advantage of the time stopping at the red light, pinching Yang Xiaoxiu's exquisite chin and smiled slightly, "Aren't you resting for two days? We'll stay there for these two days."

"There's actually a hotel up there? How much a night?"

"Not expensive, just 68,888 for a night."
