Chapter 247: 247 Being rich is really troublesome

The two brothers made a personal trip to the monastery to meet the master and relayed Tang Ze’s message to the revered master.

After listening, the master mysteriously said, “Today is not suitable for divination. Once I pick an auspicious time and calculate the divination signs, I will give you a response.”

Over the past few years, the Qu brothers had risen to success by relying on this master.

Now, whatever the master said, they naturally didn’t dare to contradict. They added a sum of incense money to the monastery, then made their way back home.

In fact, the master was merely stalling for time before contacting Kong Lin.

“Do you want to completely drive that person out, or keep her firmly under your control? Think it over and give me a response.”

“Master, what do you think I should choose?” Kong Lin couldn’t decide at the moment.

“Letting her go might create a formidable rival for you.”

“Then crush her!”

Compared to the cautious Qu brothers, Sun Ling was more generous towards the master, even taking good care of the master’s friends and relatives. Thus, the two struck a deal to exploit the Qu brothers’ superstitiousness and keep them thoroughly under control.

…

In the afternoon, Shi Lan was touching up her makeup and reading the script when she suddenly received a message on her phone, alerting her of a deposit to her account.

Shi Lan opened it, saw the amount, and sent a question mark to President Banquet.

President Banquet: “You wouldn’t take a supplementary card, nor would you accept a debt repayment. So what should I do? Madam, you’re so poor, I can only pay you a salary for handling the documents, earning a hard-earned fee. Given your capabilities, I’ll provide you with a CEO-level package, charged by the hour. This is the pay for half an hour last night.”

The madam was speechless: “It hasn’t come to that, President Banquet.”

President Banquet: “What were you thinking when you gifted me cemeteries, yachts, schools, and hospitals back then?”

Shi Lan: “…”

Damn, how can this man be so adorable when he brings up the past?

President Banquet: “I’m only giving you one hundred thousand now, which is already very polite, considering I’m wealthier than you were back then.”

Shi Lan: “I didn’t know what you liked, I thought those would hold their value?”

President Banquet: “I like you.”

Faced with President Banquet’s sudden declaration, Lady Shi was caught between laughter and exasperation. Had she, once an Asian female tycoon, now gained an Asian male tycoon boyfriend?

Shi Lan: “Fine, what goes around comes around, now it’s your turn to shine.”

President Banquet: “I don’t want money to be a sensitive topic between us. I’ll give you a supplementary card, you can spend whatever amount you want on it. If you feel it hurts your self-esteem, just find a way to make up for it. Let’s both take a step back, you shouldn’t doubt your ability to create value.”

Shi Lan found him ridiculous, having never seen such an eager fool to give money away.

But she also understood how President Banquet must have felt when he received those gifts from her initially.

Shi Lan: “Fine, send it over.”

Whether she swiped the card or not was one thing, but she should accept President Dog’s intentions. He had his manly pride back then, and he still does now.

When Sun Ling heard Shi Lan sigh, he asked what had happened.

Shi Lan told Dr. Sun about the supplementary card issue. Dr. Sun immediately said, “Though I understand you don’t want to hustle for money in this lifetime, you should also appreciate the meaning behind President Banquet’s daily grind of only two to three hours of sleep to earn money. He’s working that hard for whom? If you don’t spend a dime and disdain it, I’d feel unneeded too if I were him.”

“You’re in debt, yet spend money, they’re not conflicting. President Banquet isn’t offering to pay your debts or helping you take a shortcut; he merely ensures you aren’t short of money.”

“Didn’t you also want to give the best to President Banquet initially?”

“The same reasoning applies, just try to be understanding!”

“Do you know how it feels for someone like me, who has to hustle for a living, to see you pushing billions in assets away? I’m absolutely sick with envy.”

Miss: “Being rich is such a hassle.”

Sun Ling: “…”

Okay, Dr. Sun thought that she no longer wanted this boss.

…

The next day, the two brothers from the Qu family got a response from the master. The young artist absolutely must not be released. Moreover, she needed to be suppressed, meaning she was not to appear in public anymore; they were to completely blackball her.

This result was in total contrast to what Tang Ze had suggested, so the brothers naturally trusted the master more.

So it was certain that An Lan could not be released. Not only that, but they also couldn’t even make a quick buck. Once the shooting of “Smoke Beauty” was over, they would blackball her immediately, and soon she would be scrubbed from the entire net.

However, they needed Tang Ze to coax An Lan into paying off her debts first.

After hearing what the two owners had to say, Tang Ze agreed repeatedly, saying that as soon as the million from Yilong was transferred, he would bring An Lan over immediately.

But after leaving the office of the two, Tang Ze called Shi Lan: “Boss, those two brothers, they didn’t fall for it.”

“Go into details.”

“Yesterday, the brothers personally made a trip to the temple, and just now, they summoned me into the studio to stabilize you.”

“So, you’re saying, there’s really a third party between those two brothers and the master,” Shi Lan laughed.

“Why?” Tang Ze didn’t understand.

“If this master is really so effective, then why doesn’t he just prove himself when someone contradicts him, instead of letting the brothers return first? That is to say, the brothers could have gotten the master’s conclusion yesterday, but they only summoned you today, which means one thing, the master yesterday … intentionally delayed the conclusion. Why delay? Because he needed to co-ordinate with a third party.”

“So who would want to suppress me? That’s also not hard to analyze. Qu Mobai isn’t interested in women, no women around him, whereas Qu Chong only has Kong Lin by his side. She and An Lan entered the company almost immediately one after the other. From the looks point of view, she isn’t as beautiful as An Lan, so she would feel very insecure. Moreover, among so many artists, only they are of the same period.”

“This inference is built on the premise that we all know that this so-called master is a charlatan, and this master should, like a vampire, have sucked a lot out of those brothers.”

After hearing all this, Tang Ze found it incredible and said, “Boss, are those brothers really that superstitious?”

“In the business world, they are merely novices. Other industries might be fine, but the entertainment industry really depends on fate and luck.”

“What do we do now?”

“First clear the debts. If the brothers adamantly refuse to release her, then it’s time to sweep up the ‘Heavenly King’ in one fell swoop. Those who don’t give me a way out usually end up worse off than me.”

After hearing the boss’s plan, Tang Ze thought she was simply crazy.

‘Heavenly King’ is after all a mature entertainment company.

Although the Qu brothers were merciless, they were still quite capable in the industry.

What did the boss plan to do?

Perhaps Tang Ze had yet to understand the nature of the boss as a ticking time bomb.

Probably because of her great abilities, her impact was also huge.

“Then I might need to buy some insurance for myself first,” Tang Ze was a bit scared.

“Do it!”
