Chapter 31 2/2

Sheng Quan thought it through: [If I don’t change this situation, increasing lifespan month by month, it will end up with me needing to successfully sponsor someone every month.]

【If there’s a mishap in the middle, my lifespan will be exhausted. So, I need to tighten my belt and (save) some backup lifespan.】

006 didn’t quite understand: [Tighten your belt? ]

【It means that for the next few months or even half a year, I will repeatedly bind Xu Man as much as possible. Before she can bring me rebates in lifespan, I will continue to support the top two sponsored persons in the company to ensure that their career progress can sustain my lifespan.】

Sheng Quan was never one to sit idly.

Even in her previous life, she never left her money idle. She diversified her investments, putting money in various channels, even if it meant putting it in a bank to earn fixed interest. After all, she wouldn’t let money sit still; it would be equivalent to depreciating.

Similarly, lifespan was being used every day. Only a few months of shortfall wouldn’t be enough. A single accident could lead to the depletion of her lifespan.

So, Sheng Quan decided that instead of waiting passively, she would take the initiative.

【For directors, making a good film may not necessarily make it known worldwide, but making an internationally renowned film is different.】

In the entertainment industry, China had always been inferior to foreign countries; even Chinese people had to admit that.

But who would want to admit that their own country was inferior?

If a film from China could dominate internationally, the whole nation would enthusiastically discuss and elevate the film.

And the movie that Xu Man wanted to shoot, with enough funding, could create a radiance greater than many people imagined.

【Also, there’s another point.】 Sheng Quan signed her name on the contract: 【I’m also not happy with this situation. Obviously, we have good directors, good screenwriters, and good actors.】

Shaking hands with Xu Man, she looked at the ethereal woman in front of her, smiling brightly. She couldn’t help but smile too.

The good news was that she could now personally break this situation.

—

Sheng Quan invested in a movie called “Cultivator.”

This news quickly spread everywhere, accompanied by the amount of the investment.

One billion.

A certain investor, who had been keeping an eye on Sheng Quan, almost spat out the tea in his mouth: “One billion! Another one billion! In how many installments?”

The friend who informed him of this news showed a face full of envy and jealousy, saying sarcastically, “No installments, paid in full at once. And I heard there might be more in the future.”

He had every reason to be jealous because he was also a director.

The friend lamented, “How did Xu Man persuade President Sheng like that? I can’t even pull in ten million, and President Sheng gave her a billion in one go!”

“Why didn’t I get to meet President Sheng?”

Not only was the amount huge, but it wasn’t even in installments; it was paid in full at once.

Which director wouldn’t envy and be jealous of such a patron?

Upon hearing the news, he almost wanted to rush to the plastic surgery hospital and change his appearance to match Xu Man’s, then replace her to welcome President Sheng’s massive investment.

One billion—forget about plastic surgery; he’d even change his gender!

Investors weren’t jealous of Xu Man; they were shocked at her.

“That means, after donating a billion, President Sheng can still come up with another billion in cash? My God, my God, no, I need to call Wang Zizheng. I need to make friends with such a character.”

In the entertainment industry, money was everything.

And Sheng Quan had already proven with practical actions that she had a lot of money.

Her personal phone number was not leaked, but many people knew that Wang Zizheng had embraced Sheng Quan’s thigh. Some people even looked down on him before.

Even at her age, with some prestige and fame in the industry, she actually didn’t hesitate to lower her value and support a young person in her early twenties. People greeted her with smiles, wanting to recognize each other as siblings. This kind of flattery was really contemptible.

When Wang Zizheng rented a whole floor of the Huaxing Building at an extremely favorable price, some people silently shut their mouths.

When Sheng Quan directly donated a billion in “Singing with You,” everyone voluntarily retracted their previous words.

And now, Sheng Quan had given Xu Man, a young director with only three historical works, an investment of one billion. Those who had flattered her turned into envious ones.

People from all directions called Wang Zizheng, hoping he could help make connections, promising various benefits and saying a bunch of good things, all just to meet President Sheng.

【So Many Companies Actively Come to Starshine, Hoping to Collaborate with Starshine.】

Occasionally, when Sheng Quan appeared at the company, the other party’s smile immediately became eight hundred times more friendly. There were even times when Sheng Quan was dining at a hotel and someone would actively pay her bill just to mention their name, hoping to leave a good impression.

And such scenes did not gradually decrease with time; on the contrary, they became more intense afterward.

Because “The Road of Life” aired.
