Lu Feiyan experienced her sister's situation, and after all the back and forth, she was unwilling and reluctant herself.
It is better to tear down ten temples than to destroy a single family relationship. Even if it is a relationship with such a scumbag, the principle remains the same; she still did so much for Ding Zhengnan.
Even if Jiang Yizhou becomes hostile towards her after finding out, what does that have to do with her? She did it for Ding Zhengnan.
However, she should think about returning to her home country. With all this trouble, she definitely wouldn't be able to stay at the company, so it would be better to just go back.
Thinking of Ding Zhengnan, Lu Feiyan called her niece who was far away in the country. "Hello, Ding Zhengnan?"
Ding Zhengnan, who was meeting with a client, politely excused herself and stepped aside to answer the call. "Aunt, why are you calling me at this time?"
Lu Feiyan rubbed her eyes wearily. "Ding Zhengnan... never mind, I’ll be returning to the country in a while and wanted to ask you to help me find a place to stay!"
Since Lu Yan didn't handle business matters, she directly contacted her niece.
"Really?" Ding Zhengnan immediately became excited, but the client was still waiting nearby. "Aunt, don’t worry! I promise to help you find a good place! By the way, you’re doing well over there; why do you want to come back?"
Lu Feiyan explained, "There’s no suitable position for me. I want to return and try starting a business! Ding Zhengnan, you must be busy with work; I won’t disturb you any longer!"
……
Yan Yutong, wearing only a striped long shirt and underwear, sat cross-legged on a large swivel chair in front of her computer. Jiang Yizhou's business card gave her a familiar feeling; she felt he was someone quite famous but couldn’t remember why.
Opening the Netscape Navigator browser, Yan Yutong typed "ailis" into the search box. Many results popped up: America Online, elink, acquisition, 5.5 billion Dollars. Calling him a rich second generation would be an insult; he was a self-made first-generation wealthy man—definitely a golden son-in-law.
Immediately, Yan Yutong became interested in him; at the very least, he could be someone worth knowing.
"Jinghong, come see what I discovered!" Yan Yutong did not hide anything from Yu Jinghong; she pursued whatever she wanted openly, even if it was something shameful.
Yu Jinghong was called over and saw Yan Yutong excitedly showing her a report. She wasn't overly thrilled but suddenly had a good impression of this person. An outstanding individual is naturally worth paying attention to.
As for money, she didn't care much. Yu Jinghong's family was relatively wealthy, and her attitude towards money was simply that it was enough to get by. She considered herself capable enough to find a job that provided a comfortable living without too much difficulty.
Much like many second-generation offspring, whose parents held high positions, they didn't have to worry about basic needs and were often reluctant to engage with power. Thus, most entered the arts, which would eventually lead to the entertainment industry, particularly those from prominent families.
Yu Jinghong's bright eyes were fixed on the information on the screen, with different colors flickering in her gaze. She hadn't expected that person's deeds were so legendary; she usually only cared about movie-related news and hadn't heard of such matters before.
She playfully tucked back her damp hair after just showering, wearing a thin white robe, and teased her friend whose eyes sparkled with excitement, "What's up? Interested? That look on your face as if you want to devour him whole—tone it down... hee hee hee..."
No matter where it is, the film industry requires money. Even for art films, investors use them to win awards and gain greater fame for future profits. Of course, most investors are often taken advantage of by highly artistic directors and screenwriters.
In the domestic scene, the film industry was growing wildly and chaotically. Unlike in the future, where there would be developed public opinion regulation and gradually mature rules in the film and television industry, having a wealthy boyfriend or at least a wealthy friend—or even better, a financial backer—would make an acting career much smoother.
"More friends mean more opportunities? If you want to make a movie, wouldn't he be a ready-made investor?" Yan Yutong argued without any moral justification for herself. "Besides, he's your fan and not your suitor..."
"Wait, wait! If you put it that way, I don't even want to help you connect with him anymore. Don't be so utilitarian; take it slow!" Yu Jinghong was someone who preferred to pursue perfection at the cost of many upward opportunities. Otherwise, she wouldn't have stopped taking roles when her acting career was flourishing to stay at school as a teaching assistant before going abroad for three years of study and fading into silence.
However, this stance seemed meaningless to Yan Yutong; choosing to give up presupposed having something in the first place. She didn't have such a good background or connections.
When she arrived in America, she was at a dead end with no money and worked her way up step by step. She discovered that the American entertainment industry couldn't accommodate someone like her and planned to return home after gaining some experience.
"Honghong Jie~ can't you just treat it as a normal friendship?" Yan Yutong stretched out her voice pleading with her friend. When she received no response, she began tickling Yu Jinghong's sides. "Sister, I won't stop until you agree!"
"This is our county's Zhou County Head, and also the Deputy County Head Li who is in charge of education and transportation!" A secretary-like person introduced the two sides. "Here are two representatives from Zhengyi Technology, Manager Li and Lin Consultant!"
Li Yue put away his somewhat dissatisfied expression and replaced it with a standard smile, "Hello, Zhou County Head, and Deputy County Head Li!"
Zhou Huaimin was naturally very willing to meet someone who came from a wealthy local family intending to donate money for road construction and school repairs.
It wasn't about any kind of benefit transfer or corruption; he would be more than happy to give out a few awards for such contributions—one for each teaching building, one for each road repaired. The more, the better; truly a good person!
In a place like theirs, which only had beautiful mountains and rivers, there wasn't much financial funding available. It was estimated that only after the tourism industry was fully developed and transportation became smooth could they rely on tourism and the manufacturing industry moving inland to develop.
"I wonder where Jiang Youming is?" Zhou Huaimin learned that the big boss coming to donate was actually a nineteen-year-old local youth, who had just recently moved his household registration.
He once suspected this might be a scam; however, after gathering information, he found many reports featuring Jiang Yizhou. He also confirmed with former classmates in the capital, which made him believe it. He witnessed the charm of the information age and the Internet era—it was simply a money-making opportunity!
Li Yue politely explained, "He is currently busy with affairs and cannot be here, so he sent us to discuss the donation matters."
"Oh, I see! No rush, no rush," Zhou Huaimin said with slight displeasure, not expecting just two subordinates. However, considering the donation, he didn't dwell on it too much. "I've prepared a banquet; Sister Li and Lin Consultant, let's eat and chat!"
