Chapter 176 Having money... really is something to burn a hole in your pocket...

Xie Yuan was so startled when he finally investigated the matter.
The Madam had actually gone out and started her own company?!
And it seemed the Boss had no idea about it.
Did the Boss even know just how capable the Madam was?

"Besides, Star-Moon Culture currently operates behind the scenes. If you don't pay special attention, it's practically invisible, because it's a backstage company."
In truth, if not for the connection between the Madam and the Boss, he would never have guessed that Jiang Sui of Star-Moon Culture was the Madam.
He took a gamble that the Boss would be angry, knowing from experience that the Boss loathed deception above all else.

"What kind of company did she start?" Lu Ye asked, a hint of curiosity sparkling in his eyes.
"It's called Star-Moon Culture, primarily focused on the entertainment and media sector."
Lu Ye frowned. "Why didn't she discuss starting a company with me?"
Xie Yuan: He had finally won the gamble this time!
"I have both the manpower and the funds. Why didn't she come to me?" Lu Ye looked somewhat gloomy.
Xie Yuan: "???"
"Company operations require capital investment." Lu Ye took out his phone and muttered, "Let's transfer twenty million first."
Xie Yuan: "..."
It turned out his vision had simply been too narrow.

Jiang Sui had just finished shooting an advertisement when she received another transfer notification.
Staring at the screen, she stood frozen in place for a long time.

"Sister Sui, I've packed my things." Miaomiao walked up to her, carrying their bags.
Gazing at the transfer, Jiang Sui let out a deep, wistful sigh. "Having too much money... truly feels like burning a hole in your pocket..."
She harbored a well-founded suspicion that Lu Ye was attempting to bribe her so she would share a bed with him.
Lu Ye had already taken to sleeping on a pallet in her room.
Every time she returned to Xihe Garden now, she was forced to share a room with him at night.
After all, ever since that last incident where Mother Zhang grew perpetually suspicious, she hadn't dared use the little paper dolls to carry people around casually anymore.

Looking at the twenty-million-yuan transfer, Jiang Sui felt quite pleased.
After all, who would ever complain about having too much money?
She turned around and noticed Miaomiao staring intently at someone.
It was a young girl possessing a rather decent appearance.

"Do you know her?" Jiang Sui asked.
Miaomiao watched as the girl's back disappeared around the corner. "It feels like I've seen her somewhere, and her scent is so familiar. It's very similar to the grandmother who raised me."
Jiang Sui summoned a staff member.
"Sister Sui." The staff member immediately approached with a bright smile.
Jiang Sui raised her chin slightly. "Who was that girl who just walked past?"
The staff member eagerly replied, "Judging by her coming from the personnel department, she must be here today to audition as a print model. She isn't part of our company yet."
Miaomiao looked at Jiang Sui with eyes full of starry-eyed adoration.
Wow, Sister Sui is just so cool!

Jiang Sui nodded. "Got it, thank you."
The staff member smiled bashfully. "You don't have to be so polite. Could you please give me your autograph?"
Jiang Sui smiled. "Of course."
Although she hadn't learned anything specific, Jiang Sui could perceive an intersecting thread of fate between that girl and Miaomiao.
This meant there was some kind of connection between them.
That was why she had asked.
However, since it was merely a chance encounter for now, she chose not to dwell on it.
Miaomiao didn't dig deeper either, merely feeling a momentary flash of curiosity.

Meanwhile, after Shi Heng coordinated the schedule with the production team of the "Honor of Heroes" All-Star Tournament, the recording for the event was about to begin.
Word had it that the celebrity lineup participating in this "Honor of Heroes" All-Star Tournament was quite prestigious, consisting of currently popular stars and celebrities who already possessed some gaming prowess.
In addition to them, an exceptionally prominent and unexpected mystery guest was rumored to be joining.
As a portion of the participating celebrities was leaked online, another tempest of controversy erupted across the internet.

The participation of Bai Xixue, the entertainment industry's "e-sports superstar," naturally became a major selling point, throwing her fans into a frenzy as they began boasting everywhere about her "illustrious achievements."
Meanwhile, Jiang Sui, who was already being ridiculed by haters for her acting in "The Palace's Lament," was once again pushed to the center of public scrutiny simply for participating in an e-sports show.
