The dinner broke the non-interference treaty between Ye Fei and Yan Xiao. It was a curse that caused their relationship to become increasingly intertwined.

They started chatting and interacting more, and Ye Fei became more active in telling Yan Xiao about his social life. More importantly, after he was instigated by Gu Ruijia to go out and play, he would remember to tell Yan Xiao where he was going. t9qoaG

At the same time, Tianxi Entertainment’s aggressive purchase of IP has also caused quite a stir in the industry.

Except for Gu Ruijia, no one knew Ye Fei’s true intentions. They all thought that he wanted to make his own online drama, thus he was monopolizing the IP market. Ye Fei became infamous in the entertainment industry. In the eyes of the relevant people, Ye Fei was a fool. IP was worthless anyway, and many awaited to see how foolishly he would crash.

Especially Ye Yao.

“Then did you give up the film and television copyright of ‘No Return’ so easily?” Wang Zhao asked Ye Yao while sitting on the sofa in Ye Yao’s office. He was clutching a new internet celebrity he had started to date. fsydIi

Wang Zhao’s family was very powerful, and he was the only child, so he was used to it. Eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, drugs, there was nothing he stopped at. No one in the circle was willing to get too close to him, other than Ye Yao.

The Ye family had some wealth, even if Ye Yao had lost 20 million. However, as Ye Yao invested 20 million in <<The Way to Upgrade the Concubine>>, and had even sold an apartment for this purpose, Dingyuan’s funds were still tight.

Although Wang Zhao was a nasty character, he had cash, and was willing to spend. Thus Ye Yao was willing to cultivate him. Furthermore, he felt that there was nothing wrong with Wang Zhao. Although Wang Zhao was a known bad influence, as long as Ye Yao could maintain his dignity, nothing else could affect him.

It was a matter of one’s strength of will; those who were not determined would fall into deprivation.

“If Ye Fei wants it, give it to him,” Ye Yao lit a cigarette, eyes darkened with cruelty., “I’ll see what he will do when he hits a wall.”

At the beginning, Ye Yao really had the intention to bid against Ye Fei.

Dingyuan did not have the ability to invest in big productions now, so they wanted to try shooting web dramas. Such dramas were low cost, and took a short time to film. Even if it was shoddy, it was unlikely to be flamed online, and thus the best way to make money.

It just so happened that <<No Return>> had been very popular recently. After the filming, a large number of book fans would spontaneously promote it, and they could save on the publicity. cxywo3

But again, this did not appear to be the situation.

Ye Fei was known for pondering, so who knew if he really wanted to buy<<No Return>>. Was it a pretense? If Ye Fei did not want it when the price came up in the bidding war, won’t it be a loss?

In his heart, the film and television copyright of “No Return” was worth a mere eight hundred thousand yuan. If he needed to pay a million or more, where was the money to be made?

“I have to hand it to you.” Wang Zhao leaned against the sofa lazily, squinting his eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep. His dishonest hand was creeping into the internet celebrity’s clothes. “But you still have to pay attention. Now many people think that your brother has a close relationship with Dingyuan, so don’t be implicated by him.” L3NKBp

“You’re joking!” Ye Yao turned a blind eye to Wang Zhao’s small movements, flicked the ash of his cigarette, and coldly replied, “He was kicked out of Dingyuan by my dad a long time ago!”

“You know what your affairs are as family, but who else would know that?” Wang Zhao sneered.

Ye Yao thought so too. After all, the blood relationship existed. He needed to find a way to completely distance himself from Ye Fei.

After sending Wang Zhao away, Ye Yao immediately went to Father Ye, and told him Ye Fei’s movements. PLZ4JB

“Dad, I’m not on guard against Ye Fei, but Dingyuan’s recent situation is not good. What if my brother loses money outside, and the account is placed on your head?”

He paused and sighed. “He invested so much in <<Super Time Redemption>>, if he loses it, even selling Dingyuan won’t be enough to fill the hole.”

Dingyuan was the pride of Father Ye, and also his inverse scale. Upon hearing Ye Yao, Father Ye roared, “He dares!”

Hearing this, Father Ye said thoughtfully, “I will inform them officially in the next official notice.”

“The official blog also needs a post. Dad, you don’t know, because my brother is messing around outside, people have ridiculed Dingyuan with him.” Ye Yao hurriedly reminded. “I think we have to post on Weibo to clarify.”

“Okay,” Father Ye nodded in agreement, feeling that his younger son was very thoughtful, “You should notify the Administration Department of Ye Fei’s resignation notice, and report it to me for review within an hour. After we hand down the official notice to our employees, we would post it on our blog.” 2qZsz4

Ye Yao’s lips curled into a smirk.

The film and television industry is not big. With the update of Dingyuan’s official blog, all relevant people in the industry knew that Ye Fei has been kicked out. No wonder he acquired IP in the name of Tianxi Entertainment.

Many people were very sympathetic to Father Ye. The eldest son who had been cultivated for so long was actually an idiot who cannot be helped. What can be done? He could only ruthlessly clean up the door and push the younger son to the top again.

Even in his fifties, he still has to worry about everything. It could not be worse. zSoMOI

For a while, Ye Fei became the negative teaching material for educating children in the circle. Even Sun Qiong and Zhou Zhensheng heard about it, and they came to Tianxi to comfort him.

“F*ck,” Zhou Zhensheng said angrily, holding up his phone, “Ye Fei, don’t pay attention to those nonsense, they don’t know you at all.”

In fact, Zhou Zhensheng was a little regretful now. Not long after he sold the stock that day, he saw the news of the collapse of the US stock market in the news. At that time, he reflexively opened the software to check his shares. Cold sweat plummeted down his back along with the stock. If he had not listened to Ye Fei’s words, he would have lost his pants by now.

Ye Fei’s vision was eerily accurate in his predictions, so his investment in <<Super Time Redemption>> could not mess up. It was a pity that he was not interested in science fiction films at that time; the investment contract for “Rescue” had been signed and they were starting to shoot. Even if he had the intention to step in, it would be impossible. n2eaLY

“It’s okay.” Ye Fei did not care about those rumors at all. On the contrary, he was in a very good mood. Maybe because the industry was generally cynical about IP, the prices of the ones he was interested in had fallen, making them worthwhile to stockpile.

He gave a lazy smile and told Zhou Zhensheng and Sun Qiong, “I’ve bought too much IP and I’m running out of money, can you sponsor a little?”

As soon as the two heard it, they understood that Ye Fei was deliberately giving them a chance to make money. In any case, they made a lot of money buying stocks, and even if they lost their principal, it was nothing. They did not believe that Ye Fei would do pointless things.

“Okay,” Sun Qiong nodded after thinking for a while, “I will directly call the company account for as much as I want.” n8uofW

Zhou Zhensheng refused to lag behind and quickly replied, “Me too.”

With the inflow of funds from the two, Ye Fei hoarded a lot of IP in one fell swoop, and Tianxi Entertainment also entered the public eye by taking advantage of the reputation of being stupid and having a lot of money.

Perhaps due to this, a charity auction party in the circle actually sent him an invitation letter.

“Don’t go,” Gu Ruijia said, “We are so poor now that we can’t wait to break a penny into two, how can we have money to bid in an auction?” F2oRkw

Ye Fei sat down, picked up the invitation letter and flipped through it. “We have to go, even if it’s just for show. Our company’s resources are too poor, it’s good to know a few more people.”

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Ruijia. “It’s not just me, you have to go too.”

“What are you doing?” Gu Ruijia refused. He hated these bells and whistles, and would rather donate money directly. “If a company has a representative, our company will be yours. Don’t drag me in.”

Ye Fei would have given in after a while, and Gu Ruijia thought that this would be the same. Unexpectedly, Ye Fei refused. 9yVLEY

“Why?” Gu Ruijia scratched his head anxiously, “Anyway, you can be the main pillar of the company, I don’t have to do anything.”

Ye Fei lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Why?

Of course it was because he was dying. While he was alive, he could help Gu Ruijia manage Tianxi, but what would Gu Ruijia do when he died? He ignored Gu Ruijia’s eager eyes. PEZGji

“You prepare well, if there is something wrong that day…” Ye Fei sneered, raising his hand and swiping his neck in a cutting motion, “Just wait for me.”

Gu Ruijia shuddered with fright, and said with a bitter face, “I’m going! Can’t I go?”

Before the charity party started, the items to be auctioned will be put on the official website. Interested guests needed to mark their favorite items on the official website and receive the auction number before they could participate in the auction at the party.

Ye Fei really had no money now. After browsing the official website for a long time, he finally chose a bunch of beads that were the least popular and priced cheaply. VaYw8

“Take it from Brother Xiao, he’s rich, what’s wrong with giving you some cash to save face outside?” Gu Ruijia gritted out as he looked at his sour expression.

Ye Fei lifted his eyelids and glanced at him: “200 million is not enough?”

The funding gap for <<Super Time Redemption>> was 110 million. Ye Fei thought that Yan Xiao would fill the hole and it would be over. He did not expect that Yan Xiao would take out 200 million, which made Song Wen almost kneel down and call him father.

“This is one thing, that is another,” Gu Ruijia said while swiping Weibo. “Besides, this investment is not just a donation, he’s going to end up profiting. You said you—huh?” R8eylg

Gu Ruijia held up the phone and asked Ye Fei, “What kind of World Internet Conference is this? It’s quite grand. With so many bigwigs, did Brother Xiao go?”

“He has already gone off.” Ye Fei said, “He left the day before yesterday.”

Yan Xiao was originally scheduled to leave at 10 am the day before yesterday, and the flight route was applied for early in the morning. Unexpectedly, because the pilot suddenly had a problem, he was delayed for half an hour and almost could not fly.

Ye Fei received his WeChat message at that time. Although he could not figure out what Yan Xiao had written, he could feel that Yan Xiao was very angry. Not only did he say that he would change the pilot when he came back, but he also said that he never wanted to participate in such a time-wasting activity. CmBjL6

Ye Fei thought about it and could not help but laugh.

“What’s with that look on your face,” Gu Ruijia elbowed him, “It’s scary.”

“It’s nothing,” Ye Fei then distracted him with a random topic.

In the evening of the next day, Ye Fei and Gu Ruijia arrived at the auction site on time. nPzSrc

“What the hell,” Gu Ruijia tugged at the tightly tied tie with an impatient face, “Who invented the suit, it’s a f*cking torture to wear it.”

Ye Fei looked at him with a half-smile. “Be honest or be strangled by me, choose for yourself.”

Gu Ruijia’s face turned solemn in an instant, and he did not dare to scratch his ears and cheeks like a monkey anymore. He honestly followed Ye Fei and chatted with people, as though his nature was always this serious.

This auction had class with many first-line stars, not to mention the bosses of well-known companies in the industry. At a glance, there were either familiar faces in the entertainment industry or frequent visitors from the investment field. jsAzWN

Ye Fei was very famous during this time, and many people were secretly inquiring about his name, trying to see what this idiot with random investments was like.

However, Ye Fei was handsome and spoke elegantly, and there was no fault to be picked on. Thus, those who were planning on a show were disappointed.

He’s probably an embroidered pillow, the others thought silently in their hearts.

Ye Fei was unaware that many people were slandering him in their hearts. Even so, he probably would not care. He avoided a star who approached him, and was about to find his seat when a calm male voice suddenly came from behind him. tmgoX9

“Are you Ye Fei?” Ye Fei turned around and recognized that it was Li Youlong, the head of Baofeng Media.

“I am,” Ye Fei stretched out his hand, “Hello, President Li.”

“You are more than what rumors make of you.” Li Youlong laughed and shook hands with him. Ye Fei thought he was talking about hoarding IP, and smiled.

“President Li must be amused.” 9CBGaX

“Hey hey,” Li Youlong waved his hand, looking like he was very easy to get along with and unlike the arrogance he held before others. “Not the case. I heard the name of President Ye from President Yan before.”

Ye Fei raised his eyebrows. What was happening?

“We recently cooperated with Feixiao Technology on a projector, so I met with Mr. Yan once, and then I found out that he is married to you.” Li Youlong explained.

As he thought. Although Feixiao Technology’s main business was in games, it has many other businesses. The network broadcasting device Li Youlong mentioned was one of them. QeUTOC

Li Youlong’s shrewd personality had given him the nickname of the old fox. He likely wanted to cultivate relations with Yan Xiao through Ye Fei, and started to brag to him. “I heard that President Ye and President Yan have a very good relationship, which is really enviable.”

Ye Fei didn’t want to talk about this matter and said perfunctorily, “We were just forced by his family to get married, it’s just a simple manner.”

Li Youlong shook his head and said, “President Ye is too dishonest.”

“It’s true.” W8iBcl

“I believe that President Ye was forced to marry, but for President Yan, it is impossible.” Li Youlong remarked. What impossible, Ye Fei huffed. Was his image weaker than Yan Xiao?

Ye Fei squinted his eyes. “Then you guessed wrong.” Yan Xiao married him because he was forced to marry.

Li Youlong suddenly felt helpless, he looked around, saw no one around, and whispered to Ye Fei: “Alright President Ye, don’t make fun of me, I know about it.”

“What’s the matter?” Ye Fei was perplexed. 2p IDG

“President Yan is an orphan.” Li Youlong had a mocking expression on his face.

Ye Fei widened his eyes.

“What did you say?”
