Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier novel Chapter 490

Chapter 490: Chapter 272: The Female Artists’ Devil’s Den

Xiangyi Flower City, one of Shanghai’s high-end residential communities.

The average price for a pre-owned home is around 70,000 yuan per square meter.

Jiang Shuying only bought a luxury home here after she became famous.

After showering, Jiang Shuying deliberately sprayed on some perfume and slipped into a pair of seductive black stockings.

She tried several angles before sending the most satisfying photo of her beautiful legs.

At first, Jiang Shuying was full of confidence.

Based on her understanding of men, Qi Sheng would be hooked soon enough.

But half an hour passed with no response from his end.

’Maybe he’s busy?’

Jiang Shuying comforted herself, making an excuse for Qi Sheng.

Another half an hour went by, and still, there was nothing.

Jiang Shuying couldn’t sit still any longer. She exposed her smooth, mature shoulders.

The straps of her purple slip dress seemed to be barely hanging on.

’I refuse to believe I can’t win you over!’

Jiang Shuying hit send and poured herself a glass of red wine.

But she finished the entire bottle of red wine, and still, there was no reply.

Jiang Shuying’s composure instantly began to crumble.

She had already negotiated her contract termination with Mengyang Culture and was planning to give Qi Sheng a surprise in the evening.

But in the end, she waited for a full three hours and didn’t receive a single reply.

Jiang Shuying sent a message to Mao Xiaotong, who replied almost instantly.

Mao Xiaotong: "Sister Shuying, what’s up?"

Jiang Shuying: "Nothing much. Chairman Qi isn’t with you?"

Mao Xiaotong: "How could he be? He’s probably with Panpan."

Jiang Shuying: "Oh, okay. I needed to talk to him about something, but he didn’t answer his phone, so I thought he might be with you."

Mao Xiaotong: "I wish! Chairman Qi is surrounded by beautiful women. How would he have time to notice me?"

Jiang Shuying: "Okay, I have to go. I’m getting a call."

After ending the chat with Mao Xiaotong, Jiang Shuying completely lost her enthusiasm.

Compared to Gu Pan, she didn’t have the slightest advantage.

...

It wasn’t until noon the next day that Qi Sheng finally replied to her message.

Qi Sheng: "Was too busy yesterday. What’s up?"

Jiang Shuying silently rolled her eyes. ’Probably busy "doting on" Gu Pan,’ she thought.

But she was about to sign with Universal Entertainment; she wouldn’t dare provoke the big boss who held her career in his hands.

Jiang Shuying: "It’s nothing. I’ve finished negotiating my contract termination with Mengyang Culture. Just as I thought, they’ll agree to release me as soon as they receive the 30 million."

Qi Sheng: "Alright. Come directly to Jingyao Qiantan T6 later. Universal Entertainment has already moved. This will be the company headquarters from now on."

Jiang Shuying: "Okay, I’ll head over and get familiar with the place."

Seeing no further reply from Qi Sheng, Jiang Shuying quickly started putting on her makeup.

Once a woman is over thirty, high-end skincare products are necessary to slow down aging.

She had a good foundation to begin with, and with the help of cosmetics, she transformed back into a dazzling superstar.

Jiang Shuying drove a white Maserati Quattroporte.

She left from her building’s underground garage and drove to the somewhat unfamiliar Qiantan area.

Following the GPS, she drove to the base of the Jingyao Qiantan T6 building.

Viewed from the side, the building’s exterior looked like an upward-pointing arrow.

At the very tip of the arrow was a huge sign with the words "Universal Entertainment."

Just looking at it was enough to see how stylish and grand it was.

"Ma’am, you can’t park here. Parking is in the underground garage."

Seeing Jiang Shuying about to park in front of the building, the young security guard on duty immediately came over to stop her.

"I’m here to see Chairman Qi. I have an appointment."

Jiang Shuying took off her sunglasses and smiled at the guard.

"Jiang Shuying?"

The guard was stunned for a moment, not expecting a major star to come to the company.

Even though Jiang Shuying was just a B-list actress,

in the eyes of an ordinary person, she was definitely a huge star.

"So, can I park here now?"

Jiang Shuying noticed many people looking over, so she put her sunglasses back on, not wanting to attract a crowd.

"Yes, of course."

The parking spots by the entrance were mostly for company executives.

They were only made available for occasional guests.

Given Jiang Shuying’s status, she was naturally allowed to park her car here.

Walking into the office building, she found the lobby was clean and tidy.

The security and cleaning staff were all methodically busy with their work.

Spotting the building directory, Jiang Shuying quickly located the chairman’s office on the top floor.

But the other floors piqued her interest as well.

The entire building had a total of 17 floors.

Excluding the top floor, which housed the chairman’s and general manager’s offices,

the other 16 floors contained every department a major film and television company would need.

This included, but was not limited to, the screenwriting department, directing department, talent management, public relations, marketing, and so on.

Even the cafeteria took up an entire floor.

The grand style of such a large company filled Jiang Shuying with confidence about her future prospects.

Compared to the sheer wealth of Universal Entertainment,

Lemon Film and Television’s headquarters, which occupied a meager single floor, seemed exceptionally petty and small-time.

Arriving on the 17th floor, Jiang Shuying had just stepped out of the elevator bay,

when she saw the 7.2-meter-long cantilevered reception desk and was momentarily stunned.

A beautiful receptionist, looking a little surprised, smiled at her and asked professionally,

"Do you have an appointment?"

Jiang Shuying had already taken off her sunglasses in the elevator.

She wasn’t the least bit surprised by the female receptionist’s reaction.

"I’m here to see Chairman Qi. Could you please inform him?"

"Of course. Please wait a moment."

The receptionist replied professionally, then asked with some anticipation, "Sister Shuying, could we take a photo together?"

"Of course. We’ll be one big family from now on."

Jiang Shuying readily agreed and, while taking a photo with the young receptionist, casually probed, "It looks like our company owns this whole building?"

"Uh... yes, I heard it cost 2 billion!"

The receptionist’s mind hadn’t quite caught up yet.

She was still reeling from Jiang Shuying’s use of "one big family" and "our company."

"Two billion?"

Having been famous for so many years, Jiang Shuying’s assets were certainly over a hundred million.

But hearing that Universal Entertainment had spent 2 billion on a building still made her heart race.

Compared to the sheer wealth of Universal Entertainment,

Lemon Film and Television seemed like a small, insignificant operation.

Could Lemon’s office spaces in the Capital City and Shanghai combined even match the size of two floors in Universal Entertainment’s building?

At Universal Entertainment, that might just be the office space for a single department.

"Sister Shuying, Chairman Qi will see you now."
