Chapter 69.3 — The Love Rival Attacks

“What are you guys talking about? You look really happy,” Su Yanyi asked as she eased into the conversation, taking a seat beside Qin Jiran. She smiled, and he smiled back.

“We’re talking about my new movie.” Affected by the beautiful atmosphere, he reached out and bravely took her hand in a gentle grip, catching her slightly off-guard.

If she wanted to, she could easily pull her hand away, but she didn’t.

“Let’s put He Mingyang in charge of spreading publicity for the film. If the box office fails, make him pay for it.” When it came to new films, Su Yanyi’s first thought was related to the box office. She was a businesswoman, after all.

“President Su, you’re joking. Would the box office for a film that the Film Emperor is in fail? How could that be possible?” For the new film, He Mingyang was full of confidence. Nothing would go wrong as long as Qin Jiran had the leading role.

Su Yanyi looked at Qin Jiran and nodded in agreement.

He was calm when he heard He Mingyang’s praise, but when he saw Su Yanyi nodding along, he suddenly felt a little shy. The tips of his ears turned pink, and his grip on her hand tightened.

Her acknowledgment and praise were what he cared the most about and what he had been working hard for all along.

The banquet continued far into the night before ending. Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran stayed overnight at the Su Manor again, in the same room with the same bed and the same blanket.

Although he still felt a little awkward, the awkwardness was easily overshadowed by a feeling of warmth. Even without doing anything, he felt extremely happy and satisfied.

Under the blanket, Qin Jiran carefully held her hand again, this time with a bit more strength than at the banquet.

“What happened with the Wang family and the Qin family at the banquet today is bound to make the headlines tomorrow. You’ll most likely be swarmed by reporters, so be prepared.” Holding hands while they were lying in bed made her a little uncomfortable, but she didn’t pull away. It was rare for him to take the initiative, and she didn’t want to dampen his enthusiasm.

“I know.” The humiliation of the Wang family and the Qin family had undoubtedly reached the ears of the well-informed reporters already. He didn’t know how they would narrate it, but the public opinion would most likely be lead by Mother Su’s media company.

Still, he asked for confirmation. “The Dragon’s Emissary will also report it?”

“Yes. We’ve already made preparations.” A conflict between influential families would not only involve the four great families but also the major companies managed by the families. A single news report was capable of causing stocks prices to rise and fall. Since they were in control of the mouthpiece of the media industry, the Su family would naturally use it in their own favor.

Qin Jiran agreed, but he thought of a problem. “I want to try acquiring the two media companies controlled by the Wang family. That way, we won’t have to worry about fighting against them for the public opinion.”

Su Yanyi showed a gratified smile. “I was thinking the same. It’s about time for the Dragon’s Emissary to do some expanding, and those two companies are decently sized. If we succeed, they can be integrated the Dragon’s Emissary and allow the Dragon’s Emissary to not only completely dominate the domestic media industry but also gain a foothold in the international market.”

Su Yanyi was obviously quite ambitious. The entertainment industry was intricately tied to the media industry, and Mother Su had always been intent on passing the Dragon’s Emissary to Su Yanyi, who had thoroughly met up to her expectations.
