Chapter 475: Competitiveness
"Brother Sheng, goodbye~"

In view of the "casting change incident", Du Sheng met with Tong Liya and others before leaving.

In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, two female security guards were specially arranged for them.

I don’t know if Tong Liya was affected by the separation or was sentimental because of being in a foreign country, but she ignored her agent’s teasing look and gave him a sad hug.

Du Sheng smiled and patted her shoulders, saying softly:
"You guys should shoot well and finish the scenes here as soon as possible. Once you return to the mainland, there's nothing to worry about..."

After saying goodbye, everyone left with different feelings.

After returning to Zhejiang from Wancheng, Du Sheng considered going to Beijing to record a new album, so he went to Star Media as usual.

The company has grown significantly and now has over several hundred employees.

Du Sheng held a brief meeting with management and gained a basic understanding of the company's current situation.

He noticed that as the company's business and number of employees grew, the existing organizational structure became somewhat chaotic.

Star Media is currently involved in multiple fields, including film and television production and its publicity and promotion, artist management, etc.

In addition, the company is also involved in real estate, cinema operations, Kung Fu School, "Kung Fu" variety show, Renren, Kuaijiefu, and copyright management businesses.

Although many businesses are now operated independently, they are still closely linked to Star Media in terms of management.

In particular, the copyright department, in addition to managing the copyright of Du Sheng's works, also needs to actively acquire intellectual property rights with market potential.

As the business scope expands, such a management model is obviously no longer applicable.

Du Sheng planned to discuss the reorganization of the company structure with Zhong Zhen and Ye Jingzhi after the headquarters was completed and moved.
A holding group was established with five independent subsidiaries.

This not only facilitates management, but also helps to sort out finances for subsequent listing.

The company is currently in good financial condition, and since the film and television production part mostly adopts a joint venture model, there is not much financial pressure.

At the same time, the revenues from "The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" are gradually being recovered.

Although the real estate, kung fu and cinema businesses require large amounts of capital, the revenue from ringback tone services is sufficient to support their development.

Even when using loans, it can still remain profitable.

After dealing with the matters of the film and television company, Du Sheng began to draft a business plan.

Then we went to Interstellar Network Technology Company, which was located in the same building.

Compared with the film and television business, the expansion of this Internet company is more rapid.

Two new floors were added in just one month, and the number of employees soared to over a hundred.

After arriving at the YY software development floor, Du Sheng walked straight into the office and locked the door.

Ye Jingzhi learned that Du Sheng would come back today, so she stayed here to wait.

"Come on, sit down first."

Du Sheng looked at the increasingly elegant and noble beauty in front of him, and happily sat down beside her.

Ye Jingzhi talked about the cooperation in Bay City and made a reasonable suggestion:
“If this happens again next time, it’s okay to use my family’s connections.

Some people jump too much and always need to be knocked down.

It also lets them know that the person that my Ye family has chosen is definitely not someone that can be easily dealt with."

Du Sheng was shocked by her sudden change and was speechless for a moment.

Ye Jingzhi looked at his surprised expression and laughed.

"Why, are you going to say that we have nothing to do with each other?"

Du Sheng hugged her and laughed:
"Xiao Ye Zi, you were always so elegant and cool before, but now you have become competitive. I am really surprised."

Ye Jingzhi smiled gently:
"Am I not striving for the best position now?"

She regained her usual elegance and nobility and said:
"Unless you don't plan to get married, Sister Zhen and I are not necessarily worse than those women of yours, right?
Whether it is our body shape, appearance, personal ability, or family background, we should all have advantages.

More importantly, the companies we founded are indistinguishable from each other and have achieved remarkable results.

The company's annual revenue now exceeds 6 million, and its future is limitless..."

The reason why Ye Jingzhi became so proactive was not only because her mother wanted to have a grandchild,

The most important thing is that Du Sheng’s abilities in all aspects are unparalleled.

In addition, her feelings for Du Sheng grew stronger during this period of contact.
And as a child from a family of officials, she can better regulate her emotions.

Du Sheng was moved by her words.

He knew that Ye Jingzhi was not exaggerating.

This girl not only has outstanding appearance, but also has outstanding abilities and knowledge.

However, as a wave that has passed through a sea of ​​flowers, I am not considering marriage for the time being.

Of course, if the other party wants the children to deepen their relationship and deal with their mother, this can be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Seeing Du Sheng smiling without saying anything, Ye Jingzhi said:

“During this period, I talked to my mother and cousin and realized my problem.

Relying on your family may make you feel stressed, so I have not used this relationship much recently and will try my best to help you with business.

They even turn a blind eye to the rumors and public opinion about you.

I think what is needed between the two sides is mutual understanding and compromise..."

Du Sheng: “…”

Speaking of which, during the more than two months of filming on the set, the two sides had only met a few times, and Ye Jingzhi felt a little resentful.

For example, when she was dealing with the "Coca-Cola incident" last time, she also teased that Du Sheng had more women and asked where she would rank in the queue.

It's a bit uncomfortable that he suddenly becomes so open-minded.

"Xiao Ye Zi, you are so reasonable. Aren't you too perfect to be real?"

Ye Jingzhi smiled and said:

"That's because I understand my position, and the family has corresponding expectations of me."

Du Sheng understood that the larger the family, the more rational they would be in looking at certain realities.

They value substantial interests more than superficial forms. Du Sheng thought for a moment and said:
"Did your aunt say something to you?

If necessary, I will accompany you back during the May Day holiday.

Come to think of it, we haven’t been alone together for quite a while, and I really miss those times.”

Speaking of this, Du Sheng's hands began to navigate involuntarily.

Ye Jingzhi's face turned red, but she didn't stop it. She smiled and said:

"Then I replied to my mother. She nags you from time to time."

After meeting last Chinese New Year, her mother almost treated Du Sheng as her son-in-law.

So I speak more casually.

"It just so happened that there was a completion ceremony for the property at Agile Haizhu District when I arrived, so I stopped by."

Du Sheng nodded.

He asked for two luxury houses there so that he could live there and travel back and forth frequently in the future.

Seeing Du Sheng's hands becoming more and more unbridled, Ye Jingzhi said shyly:

"There are a lot of employees outside, why don't we go back?

If you really want, you can keep a small room in your office when you move to the headquarters building in the future.”

Seeing that she was moved, Du Sheng smiled:
“You don’t actually need a special room, just an office with good soundproofing will do.”

Ye Jingzhi couldn't stand it anymore, so she took his arm and stood up, her beautiful eyes filled with smiles:

"Let's go buy some groceries first. I'll cook for you myself today."

In fact, Ye Jingzhi had long expected Du Sheng to come to the company.

Therefore, I worked overtime the day before to complete most of the work, and set aside time today.

"Haha, then we're in for a treat tonight."

Du Sheng would naturally not let Ye Jingzhi down.

Back at the villa, the two worked together in the kitchen, feeling extremely happy.

He also used new braising and frying techniques, controlling the rhythm of the heat and giving her an unprecedented taste enjoyment.

At the same time, Ye Jingzhi's craftsmanship also surprised Du Sheng.

Not only does a stew last for 30 minutes, but the chef also knows how to cook with water scraping.

It can be seen that she has put a lot of thought and effort into this period of time.

However, Du Sheng has improved in all aspects and also knows various conditioning tips.

In the end, she could only surrender in tears.

After a delicious meal, Ye Jingzhi snuggled in Du Sheng's arms like a well-behaved kitten.

Du Sheng felt that the reason why this girl was so obsessed with him, in addition to the influence of her family, was largely due to her own progress.

He gently wiped the sweat off her snowy back and said:

"Don't just focus on practicing yoga. You should also practice the crane fist I taught you before."

Ye Jingzhi was a little distressed and said:

“I’ve been running around a lot lately and haven’t had enough time.

Besides, don’t you like my yoga poses?”

She learned yoga from Zhong Zhen, and her level of practice was only half-baked, just like her skill in Hequan.

Coupled with the busy daily affairs, it is not easy to find time to practice.

Du Sheng did not force it, but said gently:
“You have seen my ability, and persistent exercise is very effective.

If you want to beat me in a sparring match, you have to practice hard.

I have some free time these days, so I can help you."

I have to say that Ye Jingzhi is good in all aspects and is indeed an ideal partner.

So I still take it very seriously.

Hearing Du Sheng's words of encouragement, Ye Jingzhi happily responded with a kiss:
"Then we have a deal. If you're in Hengdian, you must come here at least once a week.

I heard that the internal martial arts such as Crane Fist can nourish the skin and strengthen the blood, so it is worth learning. "

Du Sheng nodded slightly:

"No problem, but I suggest you practice in the morning as well. That way it will be more effective."

Ye Jingzhi was very happy to feel the care in Du Sheng's words.

Since the relationship was established, she found herself gradually letting go of her disguise.

Occasionally, you can act coquettishly and curl up in your lover's arms, which can relax your soul.

However, she is still a workaholic at heart. After a brief moment of tenderness, she asked:
"Are you free tomorrow?

Renren.com has established a 'campus ecological network' with hundreds of schools. Do you want to join? "

What Ye Jingzhi mentioned was to deepen the relationship between Renren and hundreds of schools, jointly build an ecological network for high-quality content and production, and share knowledge, experience and insights.

And establish multiple media including pictures, text, audio and video.

That is similar to the business scope of "Zhihu" in its previous life.

Du Sheng was a little surprised and asked:
"We are going to build a 'campus ecosystem' together so soon. How is Renren's scale progressing now?"

He has been in the team for more than two months, and Ye Jingzhi and Zhong Zhen are in charge of many things.

But the choice of Renren as this year's flagship product was the result of careful discussions among the three founders.
