Chapter 229 - The S-Ranked Netbig Project
Cherishing Chu Yao was a novel that Chu Xia was writing. Aspiring to be a famous writer, Chu Xia really loved writing. In order to practice her penmanship, she began writing online novels on the Internet.
There was a saying in the circle of online writers — Chinese language and literature majors, or related majors, are usually unconvincing when they write stories online. This was because they would usually deliberate over words and sentences, sticking to them without paying attention to the intent behind the words. To top it all off, they were also not down to earth.
However, Chu Xia didn’t believe in this curse. After reading dozens of women’s fiction, she found that the current women’s fiction trending romance were completely uninspiring. From the overbearing president, to the ancient prince, some cute adorable puppies of unmarried pregnant women with the overbearing president’s baby made it seem like women were just vessels for men to enjoy.
So Chu Xia was the opposite. She was writing strong female stories!
When writing about an overbearing CEO, she would write that women could hold up their end of the bargain, and men were serving women instead!
It was proven that readers would also experience aesthetic fatigue and did not like to read stereotypical novels. This was why Chu Xia’s novels were trending like crazy…
Once the novel went viral, Su Yang came under fire as well. Everyone who read the story on the internet now knew of a man called Su Yang who was incapable, could only eat soft foods, was greedy, lustful and tattled all day long. To top it all off, he also had to be trained by the female protagonist.
Su Yang smiled and replied, “Brother Tang, you’re very early.”
Saying that, he got up, opened the back door and got into the car.
When he came to the car, Tang Dafa smiled at Su Yang. “I’ve always wanted to ask Brother Su out for a chat, but today I finally have the chance.”
Su Yang smiled and said politely, “I’ve also always wanted to get together with my old brother. The two million you lent me really relieved my urgent need.”
Tang Dafa’s eyes flickered as he smiled. “Of course, of course”
The driver drove the two of them to an upscale western restaurant.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the seats had already been reserved.
Su Yang and Tang Dafa sat on either side of the table, facing each other.
After ordering, Tang Dafa was the first to say, “Brother Su, I recently came across a project, I don’t know if you’re interested.”
Su Yang looked up. “What kind of project?”
Tang Dafa replied, “It’s a big online movie, called Fighting the Buddha. The script was written by a well-known screenwriter, and the IP is from Journey to the West. The main characters are second-tier power actors, and the project rating over at iQiyi is S-ranked. It’s very marketable.”
Su Yang was surprised. “Really?”
Tang Dafa nodded. “Right. The owner of that movie company and I are friends, and he’s given me a free investment quota of three million. If you’re interested, I’ll share one and a half million with you.”
Su Yang’s eyebrows furrowed lightly as he thought to himself. ‘Sounds like a free lunch.’
Su Yang said, “Brother Tang, do you have any introduction regarding the project for me?”
Tang Dafa said without batting an eyelid, “I do. I’ll give you an electronic version first, so you can take a look.”
Saying that, he used his obese hand to pull out his cell phone and pressed a few buttons. Then, Su Yang’s cell phone vibrated when he received it.
Su Yang said flatly, “Okay, Brother Tang, I’ll take a look at it later. I’ll go to the toilet first.”
Tang Dafa smiled. “Okay, okay.”
When he went to the toilet, Su Yang said to Little Deeny, “Look up this project and check out the information.”
If Su Yang only thought that Tang Dafa was trying to make him a degenerate before, then Su Yang definitely felt that something was wrong now.
If it was to corrupt him, then there was absolutely no need to introduce the project to him.
‘This project was clearly not of the same nature as the previous events.
‘Was there something wrong with this project?’
After a while, Little Deeny’s said to Su Yang, “Master, I checked the project out and there’s no problem. The information checks out with what Tang Dafa said, and there are no differences. It’s an S-grade project in AIC, and there are many additional contracts signed. It has a lot of support and is well recommended.
“The actor is also a famous second-tier actor with good acting skills. The script is indeed written by a well-known screenwriter, and the risk is very small.”
‘Huh? Is it such a great project?’
Was he and Deeny thinking too much? Did Tang Dafa really just want to include him in this project because Tang Dafa thought he was a second generation wealthy person?
Once doubt was seeded in one’s heart, it couldn’t be dispelled.
So although this movie project was good, Su Yang somehow felt that there was something fishy about it so he took out the [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass] from the pocket dimension and played with it in his hand as he returned to the table.
When he returned to the table, the food was already served on the table, and Tang Dafa smiled while waving to him. “Come, let’s eat first.”
Su Yang smiled and replied courteously. “Okay.”
As he spoke, he sat down and casually fastened the hourglass on the table.
As the hourglass was fastened to the table, everything went still as space began to distort and spin rapidly. Then… everything entered Su Yang’s eyes.
For a moment, Su Yang entered the memory realm of Tang Dafa.
Arriving at the memory realm, Su Yang didn’t delay much and rummaged backward to find memories related to this project.
Soon, he found this part of the memory.
After reading it, Su Yang was even more puzzled.
In Tang Dafa’s memory, there was indeed a memory of discussing this project with his friend. What he said was true. The project had very little risk, and once it was profitable, it would return him his money several times over.
The friend himself was planning to invest in the project but Tang Dafa used favors and added some other benefits in exchange for this portion of the investment.
However, this investment wasn’t three million as he claimed. It would only cost one and a half million! That was Su Yang’s 1.5 million!
Su Yang was a bit confused.Was Tang Dafa a good guy, and did he and Deeny overthink it?
He continued to look backward, and the next memory was still coherent. However, after getting in the car, Tang Dafa finally revealed his true intentions…
