Chapter 156 Investment skit, don't touch him
Cheng Wei grabbed her hair and was very angry when she saw her mother's unhappy expression. "Mom, think about it carefully!"
After saying this, Cheng Wei returned to the bedroom and closed the door with a bang.
Mother Cheng was so shocked that she stood there in shock, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Father Cheng was upset and called the servants, "Take Master Fenghao to the hospital."
The servant looked embarrassed. "Boss Cheng, all the major hospitals in Beijing are blocked by people sent by Xie Zeyu. We can't get in. The young master can only receive treatment at home."
Father Cheng's face darkened, "What's going on?"
"It is said that Master Feng Hao offended Xie Zeyu, so Master Feng Hao was not allowed to be hospitalized for treatment."
"You are a useless person who is always causing trouble instead of doing anything good!" Cheng's father's face became increasingly gloomy. "Instead of staying at home to study, you only know how to cause trouble outside."
Father Cheng was extremely disappointed with Cheng Fenghao. "The company hadn't even been open for a few days, and he was beaten unconscious!"
Without saying anything more, Father Cheng went back to his bedroom with a gloomy face to continue working.
Mother Cheng withdrew her thoughts and suddenly felt afraid.
From beginning to end, she never gave Xiaoye the attention he deserved.
I don’t understand Xiaoye’s preferences.
I haven't really spent any time thinking about Xiaoye's preferences.
But what can she do?
Xiaoye didn't give her any chance.
Don't give her a chance to understand him.
Even if I just said a few simple words, Xiaoye would shut me out.
She couldn't find any breakthrough at all.
Mother Cheng held her forehead with her hand, and at this moment all kinds of emotions filled her mind.
Cheng Fenghao was carried to the living room downstairs by the servants. Seeing Cheng Fenghao's miserable condition, the family doctor could not help but suggest to Cheng's mother: "Madam Cheng, Master Fenghao's injuries are too extensive. I am a little overwhelmed by myself."
Hearing this, Cheng's mother waved her hand and said, "Go find some doctors."
The housekeeper nodded in response, "Okay, Madam Cheng."

Cheng Ye stayed in the office in the morning, simply looking through a few documents. Near noon, his assistant Chi Mu came in with a thick stack of information.
"Boss, all the evidence of Xingyao Entertainment's negative history that you asked me to investigate is here."
Chi Mu was sweating profusely as he carefully placed the mountain of information on Cheng Ye's desk.
Cheng Ye was bored. It was a hard-earned winter vacation, and he actually wanted to go out and play with Jiang Mian.
I feel a little tired when I come to the company every day.
"Oh, go on." Cheng Ye lowered his head and took out a Rubik's Cube from the desk to play with.
Chi Mu: "...."
After a moment's pause, Chi Mu quickly added: "Like unfair contracts, making employees work overtime without pay, executives having rich private lives, and artists endorsing fake advertisements to deceive consumers."
"There are even audio recordings of people threatening our employees by phone, and some artists have immoral private lives but still portray themselves as innocent, etc."
"Oh, and most importantly, I found some clues that Xingyao Entertainment was evading taxes." Chi Mu shook his head helplessly, "But Boss, even if we find these evidences, they won't be of any use."
"The negative history of Xingyao Entertainment has appeared on the Internet before, but it was completely suppressed by Xingyao Entertainment with its capital, and it did not cause any splash on the Internet."
"There hasn't been even a shred of negative public opinion."
Cheng Ye was playing with the Rubik's Cube and solved three sides at once. He took the time to reply to Chi Mu: "It's okay. You upload all the evidence to the Internet at once, and buy related hot searches and put them on Weibo's hot search list."
Chi Mu was surprised. "Boss, it costs a lot of money to buy hot searches, and it won't do anything for Xingyao Entertainment. They will use the money to buy other hot searches, and then suppress the hot searches we bought."
Cheng Ye finished solving the Rubik's Cube and threw it away.
He supported his face with one hand and twirled a signing pen with the other hand, saying lazily, "The other party wants to suppress the trending searches, so we just keep buying them. It's just a competition of financial strength."
Chi Mu looked worried, "Boss, this is too expensive. It's a big loss, and the result may not be satisfactory."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just do as I tell you." Cheng Ye's tone became a little colder.
Chi Mu quickly responded: "Okay, I'll do it right away."
Wait for Chi Mu to leave the office.
Cheng Ye raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Mian who was curled up in the double bed, watching a short drama and eating snacks.
At that time, in order to make it convenient for him to take a nap, he thought that since the office was big enough, no matter how comfortable the sofa was, it would not be as comfortable as the bed, so he bought a double bed and even prepared sheets, quilts and pillows.
Now seeing Jiang Mian resting comfortably in bed, Cheng Ye suddenly felt a little regretful.
Jiang Mian's eyes were full of skits and snacks, as if she had forgotten his existence.
For some reason I find this double bed an eyesore.
Cheng Ye has a proud face, Jiang Mian should remember him soon.
He took out a more complicated Rubik's Cube and started playing with it out of boredom, occasionally paying attention to Jiang Mian's latest movements.
The office was very quiet. Jiang Mian was wearing headphones and did not play any music out loud.
Jiang Mian was watching the skit with great interest.
Seeing this, Cheng Ye frowned slightly. What skit could be more important than him as a boyfriend?
He approached quietly, followed Jiang Mian's line of sight, and immediately saw the title of the short play "After Being Rejected 99 Times by the School Beauty, I Started the Lottery System".
Cheng Ye: “…”
Jiang Mian had just finished watching the short drama and was preparing to watch the next one.
Cheng Ye looked carefully and saw that the title of the short play was "I Became the World's Richest Man by Picking Up Junk".
Cheng Ye: “......?”
Jiang Mian then discovered that Cheng Ye was standing behind her. She immediately stood up from the bed excitedly. "Cheng Ye, you run an entertainment company. Have you ever thought about recruiting more actors to star in low-budget short plays?"
"Each episode is 1 to 3 minutes long, and there are dozens or even hundreds of episodes. All can be shot in less than a month."
Cheng Ye was thoughtful, "Well, that sounds good."
Jiang Mian hugged Cheng Ye and smiled slyly, "Then it's settled. We can use the time during the winter vacation to act as the male and female protagonists and perform a few short plays?"
Cheng Ye was stunned. Wasn't the topic changed so quickly?
"What kind of script do you want to act in?" Cheng Ye was very happy about it, as he could make money and kill time at the same time.
Jiang Mian said obediently: "How about I act like a yandere and imprison and force love on you?"
Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment, "It's hard to play a yandere."
Jiang Mian said seriously: "There will be fun only if there is a challenge!"
Cheng Ye pinched Jiang Mian's soft cheeks and said, "Okay, whatever you say."
At this time, assistant Chi Mu knocked on the office door.
Jiang Mian obediently curled up in bed, covered himself with the quilt, and excitedly watched a yandere-themed skit.
Cheng Ye sat back at his desk, and Chi Mu also brought two staff members.
"Boss, we have uploaded all the evidence and bought two related trending searches." Chi Mu hesitated for a moment and said, "But Xingyao's reaction speed is faster than we thought."
Cheng Ye glanced lazily at the two staff members beside Chi Mu, "Continue to buy two new hot searches."
The staff nodded quickly, "Okay, boss."
One of them took out his cell phone and called the person in charge of the hot search.
Two minutes later, the man put down his phone and said, "Boss, it's done. I've invested two million."
Hearing this, Chi Mu was heartbroken beyond words. Buying one hot search cost one million. These two million, plus the two million just now, made up a huge sum of four million.
It's too expensive.
Chi Mu opened his phone and found that the two previous trending searches had been suppressed by other trending searches by Xingyao Entertainment and were about to jump out of the Weibo trending search list.
In a short period of time, two million will be evaporated.
Chi Mu was in a state of panic, and the two staff members were also extremely anxious.
Cheng Ye made a cup of tea and drank it as if nothing had happened.
He noticed the anxious expressions of the three people and said, "It's not deducted from your salary, why are you so anxious?"
Chi Mu: "..."
staff member:"......"
Even if it is not deducted from their salary, they are worried about wasting so much money!!
Cheng Ye slowly forwarded the four trending news that he had purchased.
Chi Mu spoke cautiously, "Boss, Xingyao and we are competitors after all. If you forward these trending searches, it is very likely that netizens will think that you bought the trending searches and that you are deliberately smearing Xingyao Entertainment. Don't you want to avoid suspicion?"
Cheng Ye not only forwarded it, he also liked it and commented, "Why avoid suspicion? The bigger the fuss, the better."
Putting down his phone, Cheng Ye looked at Jiang Mian who was immersed in watching TV series.
He turned to Chi Mu and ordered, "Recruit more actors and screenwriters. I plan to invest in short dramas."
Chi Mu felt dizzy. Wasn't the boss too careless?
The trending search issue hasn’t been resolved yet, and now they are investing money in the short drama field? !
Cheng Ye tapped the table lightly with his index finger. "There are only three artists under the company. It's too few at the moment. Let's recruit more actors."
He remembered that in his previous life, many successful stars and internet celebrities were signed by other entertainment companies.
During the winter vacation, he can poach those people before they sign contracts with other entertainment companies.
Cheng Ye did it right away. He pulled out a clean A4 paper from the side. Relying on his memories from his previous life, Cheng Ye quickly wrote down the basic information of more than a dozen people.
This information was public on the Internet in the past.
Therefore, Cheng Ye did not waste much time and wrote down all the information that could confirm the specific identity on the paper clearly.
"According to this information, do not threaten or force them, and use every possible gentle method to sign these people to my company."
Chi Mu reached out to take the paper. He was just struggling with how to recruit actors, but the boss actually handed him the list.
"Hurry up, otherwise other companies will get there first." Cheng Ye warned.
Chi Mu was shocked to see that the paper was full of people whose names he had never heard of. "Boss, do you know them so well?"
Cheng Ye looked lazy, "Yes, it has unlimited potential."
Chi Mu quickly put away the paper.
Cheng Ye suddenly thought of something, "We can also poach Xingyao Entertainment's talents."
Chi Mu was confused. Also? Why did the boss use also?
"Didn't a well-known actor from Xingyao Entertainment die suddenly due to working overtime? You can buy this trending search again."
The staff did as they were told, and five minutes later, one of them responded, "Boss, it's ready."
Chi Mu was so anxious that he turned around and around. "Boss, we bought five hot searches, but two of them have been pushed out of the hot search list by Xingyao Entertainment. They have no effect."
Cheng Ye said calmly, "Don't worry. Let them spend more money to increase the popularity of the search."
Chi Mu became even more anxious, "Killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of our own will do us no good."
"Yes, they will be retaliated against." Cheng Ye took out the candy Jiang Mian gave him from his pocket, tore open the candy wrapper, and said nonchalantly, "Call the police in two hours."
Chi Mu didn't react, "Call the police?!"
Cheng Ye was eating candy. "Isn't Xingyao Entertainment evading taxes? We have evidence. Why don't we report it with real names? Why don't we use the evidence?"
Chi Mu slapped his head fiercely. "Why didn't I think of calling the police? But boss, we just need to call the police and submit evidence. Buying trending searches is unnecessary!!"
Cheng Ye sighed, "Just calling the police would at most cause serious damage to Xingyao Entertainment, but that's far from enough. We've spent so much time and energy looking for evidence, we have to fleece them, right?"
Chi Mu and the staff looked at each other in bewilderment. How could they make money by buying trending searches? !
"Alright, you guys can leave first. Remember to submit evidence and report it with your real name in two hours."
Chi Mu and others quickly left the office.
Just as Cheng Ye was about to get up, Chi Mu came in again, "Boss, your eldest sister and Cheng's mother are here."
"No." Cheng Ye frowned. "I said it very clearly. You always come to disturb me. You are crazy."
Chi Mu replied awkwardly, "But they have already arrived at the company gate and are unwilling to leave."
Before Cheng Ye could say anything, he saw Cheng Wei and Cheng's mother appear at the office door behind Chi Mu.
Having not seen Cheng Ye for several days, Cheng's mother and Cheng Wei were filled with mixed emotions.
Mother Cheng wanted to take a step forward and hold Cheng Ye's hand, but Jiang Mian suddenly ran over and protected Cheng Ye behind him, "Don't touch him!"
Cheng Ye is hers, and only she can touch him!!
Seeing this, Cheng's mother couldn't help but frowned, "Jiang Mian, what do you mean? Xiaoye is my biological son, are you trying to sow discord between us?"
Compared to Jiang Mian, Cheng's mother prefers Chu Xiyan to be Cheng Ye's girlfriend.
Mother Cheng was already feeling upset because the mother-son relationship had not made any effective progress.
I didn't expect Jiang Mian to prevent me from communicating with Xiao Ye.
Mother Cheng seriously suspected that Xiaoye's attitude towards her had become increasingly cold over the past period of time, and whether she had been bewitched and instigated by Jiang Mian.
"Who is your biological son?" Cheng Ye said coldly, "Ms. Xu, you have already signed the agreement to sever ties."
Mother Cheng's heart seemed to be ruthlessly cut by a sickle. Her body trembled and the suppressed pain suddenly came over her.
"Xiao Ye, I signed my name because I thought you were mad at me and would return to the Cheng family one day. I didn't expect you to be serious."
"If I knew you were serious, I would never have signed my name."
Mother Cheng regretted her decision. Her eyes were red. Seeing Jiang Mian standing beside her, she immediately took out her anger on him. "Xiao Ye, you two are not suitable for each other. How long have you been together? She is trying to sow discord between you like this? What will happen after you get married?!"
