After being reborn, I became a top-tier celebrity by resetting my game history.

Chapter 219 Zheng Ran's frequent investments in her aroused suspicion

"He said he wanted to sign you to Hemiao Films?" Everyone burst into laughter at Lynn's words.

"Lynn's spies at Hemiao have all said that Sister Qi is hated from within Hemiao. Do you think she'll have a good outcome if she goes in?"

"Just listen to these words and don't take them too seriously. Anyone can make empty promises."

"I don't understand, can't the people outside tell at all what kind of person that Young Master Zheng is?"

Su Qi shook his head: "I don't think so, because that person hasn't done anything that could arouse public outrage yet."

Lynn brought over a contract: "Stop chatting, I've got you a new drama role, hurry up and sign the contract."

Su Qi held an ice pop in one hand and picked up the contract in the other. Seeing that the pay was satisfactory, she didn't think too much and signed it directly.

Half an hour later, Su Qi's phone rang.

"I've invested in your new drama series."

Su Qi was stunned for a moment before realizing that the voice belonged to neither Shen Chaohuai nor Li Yancheng.

She put down her phone and looked closely; it was an anonymous call.

"Zheng Ran? It's you again..."

The other party laughed and said, "I will not give up."

Su Qi quickly hung up the phone and went back to look at the contract, only to find that Zheng Ran's name was listed as the investor.

"I was careless." Lynn leaned over to take a look.

"Female celebrities have to have dinner with investors before filming starts. Isn't Zheng Ran just trying to take advantage of you by doing this?"

"He wouldn't dare!" Su Qi crossed his arms. "If he dares to do that, I'll make sure he doesn't leave alive."

However, Su Qi did not receive a dinner invitation from the production team the day before filming began.

"That shouldn't be the case. Isn't this the usual practice?" Lynn couldn't understand it either. How could someone like Zheng Ran let go of such a great opportunity?

A few days later, Su Qi received an endorsement deal for a business event. Lin En delivered the contract to the film set, and Su Qi, being cautious, checked the investors and signed it after confirming that there were no familiar names.

A few seconds later, Zheng Ran's anonymous message was sent to Su Qi's phone: "I've invested in your new project. I heard from the director of your film crew that you wanted to have dinner with me a while ago?"

"You should have said so earlier. We don't need those formalities between us."

Su Qi: ...

She sullenly turned off her phone. Lynn frowned: "How is this any different from harassment? I'll report him for you!"

"Do you think you can win if you sue him? He can just pay some money to circumvent it, and then the whole internet will say we're being too sensitive."

"Forget it, let him invest if he has the money. Isn't it better to have one less enemy and one more partner?"

Su Qi finally understood. Anyway, she wasn't losing out. If the other party wanted to give her benefits, she should accept them. There was no need to pretend to be a good person and feel embarrassed.

Su Qi has had a lot of engagements this month, so busy that it's hard for her to catch up with her old friends. She's even had to decline Li Yancheng's dinner invitations many times.

Unfortunately, all of Su Qi's projects this month involve investments from Zheng Ran. Perhaps because he's been too overly friendly, Zheng Ran has become restless and has come to Su Qi's film crew.

"Finished filming?" Zheng Ran, unusually expressionless, lowered his eyes to look at her.

"That concludes today's work."

Zheng Ran grabbed her arm: "Come with me."

A group of people were gossiping behind him: "I heard that Mr. Zheng invested in Su Qi. I don't know why he suddenly values ​​artists from other companies so much."

"What else could it be? It's about poaching talent. Our own company's artists are either leaving or fading into obscurity, so we've probably lost too much money lately."

Before Zheng Ran could even take Su Qi's hand, a hand grabbed her waist from behind: "Where are you going?"

"Shen Chaohuai?" Zheng Ran frowned, looking very displeased.

"Young Master Zheng has been trying to steal my investment projects for a month, and now he's even trying to steal my people?" Shen Chaohuai tightly embraced Su Qi's waist.

"Hey, there are so many people here, don't talk nonsense." Su Qi couldn't break free from his grasp.

"Ha, it's clearly you who doesn't have that much money to invest in her, what are you pretending for?" Zheng Ran mocked.

"Really? Then you, an outsider, have managed to earn so much money and get to where you are today in Hong Kong. You should know very well what you've done."

Zheng Ran paused, then smiled to cover up his embarrassment: "I know my status is lowly, unlike the young masters of Hong Kong who are born with billions in their pockets."

"Young Master Shen brought this up on purpose, could it be... that you discriminate against outsiders like us?"

He certainly knows how to talk. Shen Chaohuai was somewhat embarrassed and looked helplessly at Su Qi: "Tell me, are you going with him or with me today?"

Su Qi unsurprisingly chose Shen Chaohuai: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng, our relationship hasn't reached the point where we can have dinner together."

Zheng Ran watched helplessly as Su Qi and Shen Chaohuai ran away, feeling inexplicably uneasy. He pounded his fist hard on the luxury car window, causing a slight ripple in the air.

Su Qi was practically dragged back to the car by Shen Chaohuai.

"Be gentle..." Su Qi rubbed her wrist.

He bent down to fasten her seatbelt: "You really have no sense of caution at all."

Su Qi looked at him and said, "What can I do if he insists on investing? I thought he would force me to go out for dinner to take the next step, but he didn't. Anyway, I'm not losing out."

"You're not at a loss, but you've forgotten your original owner's past... Yes, you've forgotten."

Shen Chaohuai almost forgot that after they erased her past together last time, she remembered nothing.

He took a deep breath: "Your original owner was killed by him."

"What? Wasn't he pushed off the building?"

"Yes, but that was just a pretext to divert attention."

"Before this, Su Qi was swindled out of all her money by Zheng Ran and ended up living in the Shen family's house."

"Otherwise, given the assets left by the Su family, you would obviously be able to leave the Shen family much earlier."

Su Qi was taken aback.

Shen Chaohuai placed his hands on the steering wheel: "Let me remind you again."

"He invested in a total of 39 projects of varying sizes for you this month. Even I couldn't beat him to it because he raised the price."

“Normally, an average investment fund of 39 million is needed for a project. If you do the math, you’ll see how huge that number is.”

Su Qi covered her mouth in surprise: "This, how come I didn't think of that..."

"The fact that he can come up with so much money in just one month means that he has more funds behind him than this. This amount is only one-tenth of his total assets."

Su Qi exclaimed in disbelief, "Then he must be... incredibly rich! If I went with him, I'd be set for life!"

Shen Chaohuai froze, then tapped her head: "What are you thinking?! Don't think about that!"

"Have you ever thought that a country's circulating funds are not enough to cover all of its resources?"

Su Qi seemed to remember something, as if a remnant of her previous memory: "I remember now."

Shen Chaohuai looked at her: "When you were the emperor of the empire, all the funds had to be approved by you."

"I do not know about this."

"I only remember a string of numbers, but I have 1 billion in liquid assets, while I have 10 billion in savings."

Shen Chaohuai was not surprised that the Su family was incredibly wealthy.

"So, to put it another way, the new country has about 20 billion in liquid assets, while Zheng Ran spends enough money in a month to rival the country. This should be a terrifying thing for the higher-ups."
