Chapter 139: Her Scheme

Jiang Sui’s temporary adversary was Ji Sicheng, and to establish herself, she needed the means to counter him.

She wasn’t considering the Jiang family—they had long ignored their own granddaughter, so she had no intention of involving them for the time being.

Besides that, since she intended to survive in this world, she had to make her life comfortable. Wealth and status were the tokens that determined one’s standing in this world.

What could quickly turn her into a worthy opponent against Ji Sicheng’s moves in the entertainment industry and make her strong was to build her own business empire.

The Ji family had remained unshaken for so many years; it was impossible to topple them overnight.

Even if she caused them some trouble this time, it would soon be resolved.

Before she could fully grasp Ji Sicheng’s vulnerabilities, she had to ensure she possessed the strength to resist his influence.

Jiang Lai cleared his throat. Although there were only a few people present, he felt inexplicably nervous.

“I’ve reviewed the information. Among the companies currently operating in film, television, culture, and entertainment, the ones worth acquiring and with intentions to sell, I believe the highest priority is this company...” Jiang Lai began to speak confidently.

Jiang Sui listened attentively.

Even Shi Heng, who wasn’t particularly interested in such matters, paid close attention and occasionally voiced his own opinions.

Especially when Jiang Lai spoke, Shi Heng noticed Jiang Sui listened seriously and thoughtfully, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Shi Heng, after all, was someone within the circle and was most familiar with film, entertainment, and cultural media companies, understanding their inner workings. Naturally, Jiang Sui took his advice seriously.

Jiang Lai, though not new to the workforce, was still new to the entertainment industry and absorbed all the knowledge he could about it.

After the meeting concluded, Jiang Lai and Jiang Sui finalized a preliminary plan.

Jiang Sui did not want to start a company from scratch, as that would consume too many resources and time.

Therefore, from the beginning, she intended to start by acquiring an existing company to inherit ready-made resources, personnel, and overall structure.

This approach was more efficient and could avoid skepticism and doubt from industry insiders about a new company.

She preferred to do things efficiently, so she had already begun planning before bringing Jiang Lai on board.

“I need a headhunter now to recruit everyone on this list for me,” she said, looking at Jiang Lai. “Can you handle it?”

Shi Heng raised an eyebrow—wasn’t this list the one Jiang Sui had asked him to prepare?

So she had been waiting for this move all along.

Jiang Lai took the list and smiled. “Coincidentally, when I worked part-time in various departments of some companies, I joined quite a few HR groups. I happen to have connections with several headhunters. I’ll talk to them properly.”

The young man entrusted with a crucial task radiated the confident brilliance of youth.

Jiang Sui knew it was precisely this fearless confidence that would allow him to shine in the business world.

She hoped this future business magnate, whom she had painstakingly sought out, could help her earn more money.

After the brief meeting ended, Jiang Lai immediately set to work.

As he left the conference room, Jiang Sui lifted the cup of freshly brewed coffee, took a gentle sip, and called out, “Jiang Lai.”

He paused at the doorway.

Jiang Sui said, “Your mother has arranged for the hospital transfer. The surgery will take place soon.”

Jiang Lai turned around and bowed deeply toward Jiang Sui’s retreating figure, filled with gratitude.

“Thank you, Miss Jiang.” Despite restraining his emotions, a trace of excitement was audible in his voice.

Jiang Sui set down her coffee and picked up some documents Zhao Xin had just handed her.

“Do whatever you want to do without hesitation. If you encounter any problems, discuss them with me,” she said clearly and decisively.

Jiang Lai’s eyes gleamed with a bright light as he looked at Jiang Sui.

“All right,” he replied.
