CHAPTER 851: CHAPTER 853: SITTING STEADFAST ON THE FISHERMAN’S PLATFORM

Zhang Ming was stunned for a while before finally understanding Sheng Yan’s idea: "You’re ruthless!"

The business of photo trading is shady, so even if the people buying photos realize they’ve been scammed, they wouldn’t dare to say they were set up.

As the old saying goes: if you don’t want others to know, don’t do it.

If you want to keep yourself hidden, just don’t do anything. If they feel cheated and decide to spill the beans, Sheng Yan can trace it back and find out who’s so interested in his scandals.

You could say Sheng Yan is fishing, and he’s catching the big fish that swim right up to him.

Sheng Yan isn’t concerned about this "small change," but he believes Jinxia will really like this gift.

Zhang Ming knew that once Sheng Yan made a decision, he wouldn’t change it. Having followed him for so many years, Zhang Ming genuinely admired Sheng Yan’s decisive business tactics; a true expert reveals his prowess with one move.

But he also knew he could never reach that level. The reason was simple: he was too cautious and couldn’t get a good grasp of the situation, whereas Sheng Yan was very sharp in this regard.

Even though he knew Sheng Yan was capable, Zhang Ming still had to give his reminder as his agent.

"This matter has great benefits, but also significant risks. If you’re not completely sure, I suggest not doing it. You know the fishing isn’t important; what’s crucial is your reputation and Jinxia’s.

If any step goes wrong and your photos are prematurely released, it will definitely cause a huge storm in the industry. As I said: without careful planning, sudden exposure can be very passive.

The media will seize on this, catching you off guard. If you want to protect He Jinxia and ensure her career goes smoothly, don’t make impulsive moves. Be extra cautious about this matter."

Sheng Yan’s expression turned slightly serious. He gave a faint "hmm," knowing he didn’t need Zhang Ming’s reminder—he was already aware of all these issues.

However, he was confident that he could squash any danger at its earliest stage. His girl deserved to be protected by him!

After making his point, Zhang Ming felt he’d said enough. Afraid this youngster might resist, he comforted him, saying: "But the day when you and He Jinxia go public isn’t far off. With such a great start, ’Special Action’ is headed for a hot success.

The company can already conclude that after this show finishes airing, He Jinxia will accumulate enough popularity from ’Special Action’ to become an A-list actress. Her rise to the top is a sure thing."

Zhang Ming teased, "Didn’t you say before that you’d go public when He Jinxia becomes an A-lister? I think you can pick a good day now and just wait for the right moment.

Think about your public announcement strategy, try to minimize the shock to netizens, and appease fans as much as possible. Ideally, your and He Jinxia’s fans should merge and become a couple fandom.

After all, you’re going public with the intention of marriage. Whether you marry this year or next, the integration and enhancement of your fan bases will significantly boost your careers.

Especially you, Sheng Yan. You’re a superstar, and the international view of you is stable. But there’s a slight shortfall: you haven’t settled down, and many fans think you’re too playful. This is one reason why Tonghua Entertainment’s stock price is undervalued."

To many, starting a family signifies stability. A man starts a family and builds a career—both are indispensable.

Previously, because Sheng Yan was unmarried, people used it as leverage to press down the rising stock price. Every time Zhang Ming thought of this, he ground his teeth.

You have to know that Zhang Ming, as a long-time employee at Tonghua Entertainment, holds company stocks.

The higher the stock goes, the more his shares appreciate. But if the company stock plummets, his shares would decrease in value.

But Zhang Ming is very confident in Sheng Yan. This man has a sharp eye for business, creating many seemingly impossible feats.

So not only does he hold employee shares, but he’s also invested all his savings accumulated over the years from work into Tonghua Entertainment stocks.

Thinking about it, Zhang Ming couldn’t help but laugh, "I’ll just wait for your good news. Just as my wife is going abroad for our honeymoon, if you make the announcement, the company’s stock will surely rise, and I can cash out a bit.

Take a little vacation, have a drink, and enjoy a carefree day—sounds wonderful."

Sheng Yan glanced at his phone with indifference, having no interest in an employee lost in self-delusion, and silently ended the call.

Opening the door, He Jinxia had shifted from sleeping to lounging and was gazing out the window in a daze.

Sheng Yan walked over and rubbed her head, resting his on her shoulder, his breath tickling her neck. She instinctively dodged, softly saying, "It tickles."

Sheng Yan refused to move away, persistently holding that position as he asked, "Why not sleep a bit longer? You were exhausted last night."

At this, He Jinxia’s jade-like face flushed with warmth, and she coquettishly glared at Sheng Yan, her hand uncontrollably pinching his waist!

This man still had the audacity to bring it up!

Sheng Yan winced, clearly feeling the power of her pinch.

He grasped her hand, changing the subject: "Where do you want to go today?"

He Jinxia hesitated, with a hint of regret on her face: "Sheng Yan, I might have to go with the ’Special Action’ team to do some promotions. This film is doing well, and I..."

Sheng Yan pinched her cheek, interrupting her: "Go if you want. The show is really popular. It’s about time you joined the promotional blitz, catching the wave as the movie is still in theaters, and seizing more interview opportunities."

He Jinxia looked at him curiously, wondering why Sheng Yan was suddenly so agreeable. But in the next moment, Mr. Sheng spoke:

"My dear wife always wanted to make money to support me. I thought I’d never see the day, but now it seems like a great opportunity for a gold rush."

He Jinxia turned red with embarrassment.

Sheng Yan patted her shoulder, "Didn’t you want to do promotions? Then no more lounging around—get up, now."

Mr. Sheng’s quick agreement left her feeling a bit unfulfilled, like a little lazy pig sticking with him for a while. After some playful antics, she got up to freshen up.

Sheng Yan was right: time waits for no one. Such a great opportunity presented itself, and she couldn’t let it slip by.

She hadn’t forgotten: she must become an A-list actress this year and find a chance to make a public announcement!
