Chapter 61 I'll put up 5
Yang Mi took in the whole scene, her fingers tightening slightly as she gripped the chopsticks.
She cursed inwardly, "That little brat has a lot of tricks up her sleeve..."
But her smile widened, and she suddenly leaned towards Xu Ying, saying, "By the way, is the movie investment you mentioned last time confirmed? How much do I need to invest?"
Film investment?
Her senior also approached her to invest in the film.
Jing Tian's smile froze. Why hadn't she heard her senior brother mention it? Was it the script he gave her?
Jing Tian glanced at the embarrassed Xu Ying with a hint of resentment, as if to say, "You can just come to me for investment, why are you looking for someone else?"
"I've recently taken on a few more gigolos, so I'm still relatively well-off."
After saying that, Yang Mi glanced at Jing Tian intentionally or unintentionally, as if to say, "Look, he's even asked me to invest in his movie."
My sister is a big celebrity now, and she's rich!
Yang Mi's words can have different meanings depending on who hears them.
Xu Ying cast a surprised glance at Yang Mi, secretly giving her a thumbs up in her heart: You actually dare to challenge Jing Tian's financial power!
You're really brave and awesome.
Jing Tian laughed when she heard someone use investment to provoke her.
Her smile was bright and captivating.
She put down her chopsticks, her tone light, "Is it the movie 'Love is Not Blind'?"
"Yes, I know making movies isn't easy, but I'm still willing to support my junior."
"Oh? How much money are you planning to offer, Senior Sister?" Jing Tian asked casually.
How much money are you prepared to spend...?
Yang Mi was also caught up in the moment and wanted to get back at him.
She wasn't this popular when Xu Ying first brought it up. How much money could she have? The initial investment of 200,000 yuan was most of her savings.
Although he's become famous and his value has skyrocketed, and he's done some serious filming, he's not as financially well-off as he thought.
Yang Mi suddenly regretted it. Of all things to do, this little girl seemed to be very rich, casually giving away an LV belt.
But having already said all that, Yang Mi couldn't bring herself to say more, since she could get some pay for the next few dramas anyway.
"I'm prepared to invest 500,000," Yang Mi said firmly.
This is all of Yang Mi's savings.
Xu Ying looked at Yang Mi with some surprise. This girl had changed her ways; she was so considerate.
He knew Yang Mi's background. Before "Chinese Paladin 3", although Yang Mi had acted in many dramas, none of them were important. Most of them were minor roles and sporadic collaborations.
Even if she plays the female lead, her income is not actually that much. The main reason is that the company takes a cut, and she has to bear the costs of publicity, travel, etc.
At that time, Yang Mi was not very wealthy, and this 500,000 yuan should have been most of her savings.
Apart from Jing Tian, none of the others present had that much money.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yilong and Luo Jin were filled with respect. Putting everything else aside, this woman was quite a good person.
Yang Mi's words made Jing Tian swallow back what she was about to say.
She was also somewhat surprised that Yang Mi was so generous; 500,000 was not a small amount, which changed her opinion of Yang Mi.
But the principle cannot be changed. Anyone who dares to flirt with my senior brother is showing contempt for Princess Jing!
"Then I'll add a little bit more to your number..." Jing Tian raised her head, "I'll put up five million, two million of which will be my investment, and the other three million will stay with my senior brother."
How many?
Five million?
That's outrageously extravagant!
Everyone present could smell a certain odor, which seemed to be the smell of burning money.
Xu Ying didn't need to say much; he knew Jing Tian was incredibly wealthy, but he never expected this girl would think of taking care of him.
"Even if the three million is a loan between me and my junior sister, we will repay it in full with interest once the movie is released."
"It's alright, senior brother. As long as it helps you, that's all that matters."
Amazing! I've decided this sister-in-law is the one!
Sister-in-law, can I also make movies?
Zhu Yilong silently clapped his hands under the table.
Luo Jin silently calculated how many films he would need to rehearse to earn five million. If he were to play the male lead in all of them, based on his current market value, he would need at least ten films.
This is without considering expenses.
Yang Mi's full chest heaved up and down, and her eyes reddened. Of course, she wasn't crying; it was just pure jealousy and envy!
They're so damn rich! Damn it, I hate rich people.
"I'm going to make a phone call, senior."
After Jing Tian left.
Seeing Yang Mi's emotional fluctuations, Xu Ying whispered to comfort her, "It's okay. You're different from your junior sister. This 500,000 is all your savings, and you gave it all to me to invest. I'm very touched."
"My junior sister is different. She has more than five million. Five million is not much to her."
"Five hundred thousand may not seem like much, but it's all you have. I, Xu Ying, have always been able to distinguish between what's important and what's not, and I will always remember this kindness in my heart."
Hope flickered in Yang Mi's eyes. "So, do you choose 500,000 or 5 million?"
"Silly child, being moved is of course the most important thing, and you deserve it too. I'm not a superficial person, so..."
"so......"
"I choose five million!"
Who would turn down money?
The main problem is that Yang Mi's position is fundamentally flawed. While she is indeed very loyal, she is a born capitalist.
Even investing in Xu Ying's film was not a spur-of-the-moment decision; she had privately consulted with others to evaluate the scripts Xu Ying sent her.
Meanwhile, her contract with Rongxinda is about to expire, and she doesn't plan to renew it. She's already thinking about setting up her own studio.
You bastard, I really want to kill you!
Upon hearing Xu Ying's reply, Yang Mi slumped into her chair, dejected.
She suddenly realized that she didn't actually like Xu Ying that much; she was just stubbornly refusing to admit defeat.
As she thought about it, her inner workaholic spirit reawakened, and she regained her fighting spirit.
It's just five million! One day, I, Yang Mi, will start my own company and be my own boss! I'll invest in movies!
Jing Tian, we'll see!
After the meal, Yang Mi left quickly, eager to return and pursue her career.
Luo Jin and Zhu Yilong quickly slipped away under some pretext.
Only Xu Ying and Jing Tian remained, and they were not in a hurry to go home.
"Senior, let's go for a walk~"
"OK."
The two strolled down the street.
The nights in Beijing in September were a little chilly.
But at this moment, their hearts were burning with passion.
They walked slowly along the way, and neither of them spoke.
Jing Tian felt a little confused. Did she and her senior brother count as being together?
I don't think so. She hasn't even confessed her feelings yet, but Zhu Yilong has already called her sister-in-law.
She really liked her senior, not just because of his appearance, but mainly because, for some reason, she felt that he understood her very well.
Understand her likes and dislikes, understand her worries, understand everything about her.
It's a strange feeling, like I've known her for a long time.
The two have only known each other for a little over a year, but it feels like they've known each other for a very, very long time.
I always feel comfortable when I'm with my senior.
If she had to describe it in one word, Jing Tian would say it would be fate.
Fate brought the two of them together.
Xu Ying didn't think so; everything that seemed logical was premeditated.
Every gift of fate comes with a price already marked in secret.
"Junior sister..."
"Um?"
