Chapter 16: Becoming a Shareholder of Yushen Media

She spoke with a bit of a lisp, as if she were chewing something in her mouth.

"Who?" Gu Jinshen asked.

"It's the person from the company I signed with last time."

"So do you still want to go back?" Gu Jinshen suddenly asked.

"I don't want to go back at all. I don't like it there," Jin Luo mumbled.

After hearing her words, Gu Jinshen was pleased. He smiled and said, "Come to my workshop, we have something to discuss with you."

"Okay." She happened to have something she wanted to discuss with him as well.

Jin Luo finished the last bit of dried fish, changed her clothes and shoes, and quickly headed out.

Now that she had money on her phone and knew how to pay by scanning a code, she didn't take the bus and chose to take a taxi to his workshop instead.

She had visited his workshop a few days earlier, so she knew its location.

In less than fifteen minutes, she arrived at his unassuming workshop; due to his limited funds, that was all the space he could afford.

After going up, she saw another man. Jiang Chang greeted her with a beaming smile, "Miss Jin Luo, I finally get to meet you in person."

He was not sure if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that the girl radiating in front of him was shining with the glow of money.

With his years of experience in judging people, he could tell this girl had the potential to become very popular.

As Jin Luo approached, Gu Jinshen pulled out a contract, "This is your remuneration for this period. If you think there are no issues, you can sign your name on it."

Jin Luo took the contract and glanced over it twice; she didn't quite understand it.

Gu Jinshen came over to teach her the key points to look at. When Jin Luo saw the amount of money written, her eyes lit up.

So much!!!

"Is all this mine?" Jin Luo asked.

"Yes." Gu Jinshen nodded.

"Then can I go and splurge on food and drinks?" Jin Luo asked.

Jiang Chang chuckled beside them, "Yes, you can spend the money however you like."

Without speaking, Jin Luo suddenly asked, "Can I use it for investment?"

"Investment?" Jiang Chang asked, "You mean…?"

Jin Luo smiled and said, "I was looking up this topic online yesterday, and it seems it's called buying a stake. The boss's workshop certainly needs funding right now, so how about I use all my money to buy a stake? That way, I can get dividends."

Gu Jinshen and Jiang Chang were both momentarily taken aback, "Do you understand the consequences of buying a stake? There are risks in business; aren't you afraid of losing all your money?"

Jin Luo shook her head, confidently patting her chest, "I'm not afraid. I have the physique to make money."

"Miss Jin Luo, you really are confident," Jiang Chang said, then turned to Gu Jinshen, "Brother, what do you think?"

Gu Jinshen nodded, "I have no problem with it. We're in a difficult time financially, and if someone wants to invest, it would be like sending us coal in snow."

"If brother has no problem with it, then neither do I," Jiang Chang added.

With Miss Jin Luo buying a stake, it would not only solve their funding issues but also ensure she wouldn't be poached by other media companies.

After all, she was now the face of Yushen Media.

Both of them had no objections, so Jin Luo officially became a stakeholder in Yushen's workshop.

"Miss Jin Luo, we've got several notices here, do any of them interest you?"

Jiang Chang handed her a small stack of scripts, "Not only have variety shows approached us, but we've also received scripts for a few minor roles."

Sitting on the sofa, Jin Luo took the scripts from Jiang Chang's hands, flipped through them, and her gaze fell on the script for a variety show called "Island Challenge".

"Island Challenge" is the latest hit reality show, but filming only one season, they struggled to find guests for the second season because the challenges on the island were too dangerous and arduous.

Basically, no popular celebrities were willing to join such a strenuous program.

As a result, the directors had to settle for less known artists of the eighteenth tier and thought if that did not work out, ordinary people would suffice too.

Seeing her gaze fall on the "Island Challenge" show, Jiang Chang couldn't help but express his surprise, "Miss Jin Luo, you aren't thinking of participating in this show, are you?"

"Yes," Jin Luo said.

"Why do you want to join this show?"

"Out of curiosity," Jin Luo said with a smile, "I feel like it is a treasure."

Jiang Chang was taken aback, "A treasure?"

Jin Luo nodded, "Yes, I have picked it. Is that okay?" she asked for his opinion.

Then Jiang Chang looked towards Gu Jinshen.

"Let her join."

Seeing that Gu Jinshen had no objections, Jiang Chang could only nod in agreement.

"Apart from the dangers of the Island Challenge, it is indeed a show that offers the chance to make a comeback," said Jiang Chang.

Although they had been receiving lots of offers recently, few were valuable, and only "Island Challenge" provided a good chance of becoming an instant hit if one's performance was outstanding.

They also had some newly popular internet influencers under their wing, so they weren't worried about wasting these offers.

But they did not expect that Jin Luo would choose the most arduous outdoor challenge show the moment she arrived.

"Then I wish you a smooth journey on this show, and with that, we will have the funds to hire promising newcomers," Jiang Chang said to her with a smile.

Jin Luo laughed, "I will make sure of that."

Watching her, Gu Jinshen felt like she was radiating light all over.

He had been observing her performance on reality shows for some time, and it almost seemed like she was not human...

After Jin Luo left, she forgot about the matter she wanted to discuss with Gu Jinshen.

Oh, she had wanted to introduce Mu Xi to work at Yushen Studio as well because she believed her instincts about people had never been wrong.

...

On the street, Mu Xi, just out from his own company, was walking dejectedly.

He had just been chastised by his manager, drenched in humiliation. The reason was that from his last live-streaming sales, he was supposed to receive forty percent of the earnings, but ended up getting only ten percent.

Unable to contain his anger, he argued with the manager, and, predictably, the altercation didn't end in his favor.

Suddenly, he recalled the girl, Jin Luo. Last time, after having a meal at her place and leaving, he immediately received a call from his manager.

He had no job offers initially, but then the manager suddenly presented him with a live-streaming sales gig, promising him forty percent of the earnings if he sold all the lipsticks.

Without time to rejoice or consider, he instantly agreed.

Now, in hindsight, he wondered how those people could have had a sudden change of heart. The company didn't allow him to break the contract or accept offers; they just wanted to pressure him into apologizing to the general manager.

"Mu Xi!" Suddenly, a crisp female voice called from behind.

Coming out, Jin Luo was about to hail a taxi home when she spotted him standing on the street, lost in thought.

Mu Xi turned around in surprise, seeing it was her, "You're actually here?"

"Yeah, what a coincidence," she said with a cheerful smile.

Just then, a black car sped over and stopped right in front of them.

Two robust bodyguards in black quickly jumped out of the car, each with a burlap sack in hand, which they threw over the heads of Jin Luo and Mu Xi, and whisked them away.
