Chapter 624: Chapter 321: Sister Hehe Wants to Invest! Someone’s Getting Anxious

Chen Jincheng never expected that the one who had also invested in both *Dear, Beloved* and *Thirty Only* was this Internet Celebrity Young Master.

It seemed this guy had taken his previous words to heart and was following his lead on investing in these projects.

If nothing else, these two shows alone were guaranteed to make the guy a huge profit.

As for how he’d so easily gotten in on the investments for these two series, that wasn’t even a question. He was the Crown Prince of Dawan, after all.

In the future, after Old Wang sold off Dawan Cinema, it might be difficult for him to pull something like this. But for now? What film company wouldn’t get involved in a few movie investments?

After enthusiastically shaking Chen Jincheng’s hand, the Internet Celebrity Young Master said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, I hope you don’t mind me riding your coattails for a piece of the action."

"Nonsense. Have a seat," Chen Jincheng said with a smile to the young master.

’This was for the best. It was exactly what I’d hoped for. Now he owes me a favor. When the time comes, maybe he can help me handle things on the Dawan Cinema front?’

Once everyone was seated at the table, Sister Hehe suddenly asked, "Chen Jincheng, can I invest in this TV series?"

Her question caught Chen Jincheng by surprise. He smiled and said, "You’ll have to ask the production company about that."

The executives and directors for *Dear, Beloved* and *Thirty Only* looked awkward.

They couldn’t call the shots on something like this.

But the Internet Celebrity Young Master suddenly asked, "Sister Hehe, how much are you looking to invest?"

He, of course, knew she was Chen Jincheng’s top supporter from his streams and that she was brazenly pursuing him. Seeing her follow Chen Jincheng to this kind of dinner party probably meant something was developing between them.

That was why he had spoken up to ask.

Due to funding limitations, he had only been able to invest in these two of the projects Chen Jincheng had picked. He had no way of getting involved with the others.

If Sister Hehe had the money, he could help her secure an investment slot. It would be a good way to do Chen Jincheng a favor.

Sister Hehe answered truthfully, "My dad gave me over 40 million before. I spent some of it, but I also made a five-fold profit on a 20 million investment with my brother. Right now, I have 110 million on my card that I can spend."

Aside from the people from Second-Life Star, her words left everyone else completely stunned.

His top supporter had already revealed this information back when Chen Jincheng was streaming, so he and Sister Hong weren’t surprised. But the Internet Celebrity Young Master, along with the executives and directors of the two shows, were all shocked.

’This beautiful girl has over 100 million in her account?’

The Internet Celebrity Young Master said instinctively, "In that case, I can help you get a piece of several of the shows Mr. Chen invested in before. The stakes wouldn’t be very large, though."

Chen Jincheng frowned at Sister Hehe. "What are you getting involved for?"

Sister Hehe said seriously, "I need to earn money, too. Otherwise, how will I donate to your streams? How am I supposed to be your sugar mama in the future?"

He had no idea how to respond to that.

’In his past life, before he had sealed his heart, perhaps he would have been moved by Sister Hehe.’

’But now, he just found her actions ridiculous. She was like a fool, pestering a scumbag like him so relentlessly.’

But everyone else at the table was looking at Chen Jincheng with envy.

’A beautiful girl like that, offering to be a sugar mama... where could you find a deal that good?’

Suddenly, the director of *Thirty Only* spoke up. "Excuse me, besides *Thirty Only*, I also have a script for a show called *Little Sacrifice*. It could be greenlit if we find the funding!"

After speaking, Zhang Xiao looked embarrassed. After all, it was a rather blatant pitch for investment.

Both of his shows were realist dramas. It’s just that *Thirty Only* focused on women, so it attracted more attention and was greenlit early. *Little Sacrifice*, on the other hand, was still looking for a primary production company.

Hearing Zhang Xiao’s words, Sister Hehe turned to look at Chen Jincheng.

’I’m not an idiot. You say invest, and I’m just supposed to invest?’

’I only trust Chen Jincheng.’

Chen Jincheng was also a little surprised. He hadn’t expected *Little Sacrifice* and *Thirty Only* to have the same director.

*Thirty Only* was a huge hit, but *Little Sacrifice* was an even bigger one. That was mainly because the realist drama was about the transition from elementary to middle school, a topic that resonated deeply with countless parents.

It was number one in its time slot, with average viewership ratings exceeding 1.8 per episode.

Still, it was normal for a director to have two scripts in hand. Some could even shoot several shows in a single year, though not just anyone could handle that kind of workload.

Chen Jincheng casually asked Zhang Xiao, "Director Zhang, could I take a look at the script?"

"Yes, of course! If President Chen wants to see the script, that’s no problem. Let’s add each other on WeChat, and I’ll send it to you," Zhang Xiao said hurriedly. Everyone knew by now that this man was decisive with his film and television investments. As long as he saw potential in a project, he would invest without hesitation.

Chen Jincheng exchanged WeChat contacts with him and received the script.

After a quick look, he knew this was indeed *Little Sacrifice*. He immediately turned to Zhang Xiao and asked, "Director Zhang, this script is excellent. Since you haven’t greenlit it yet, how about collaborating with our company, Second-Life Star? We can take the lead on production."

None of the projects they had invested in so far had been produced primarily by Second-Life Star. Although they had struck a deal with Guo Fan for *Wandering Blue Star 2*, that was a film and would take a while to get off the ground.

*Little Sacrifice* was a TV series, which would be the perfect project for their film and television department to get some hands-on experience.

Although the money remaining from President Lei’s financing round had all been spent on previous investments, getting a bank loan would be easy with Second-Life Star’s current valuation.

Zhang Xiao didn’t hesitate. "President Chen, of course! I look forward to working with you."

In an instant, his spirits soared.
