Reborn As The Villain President's Lover

Chapter 30

Only then did the crowd react and return to the first group chat.

Shao Yong, as the man who opened the can of worms, was the first to speak: Isn’t Ah Cheng going to support this drama as an investor? Wouldn’t you call an investor a golden backer?

Yu Anyi asked in disbelief: Is it that simple?

“Otherwise?” Shao Yong perfunctorily said, “Ah Cheng is this drama’s investor, and Xiao Ji is this drama’s actor. He is not only the drama’s golden backer, but he can also spend a few days with Xiao Ji under the name of supervising the shooting expenses. It’s perfect.”

Yao Xiuyuan immediately replied: 666, whether this explanation makes sense or not, Ah Cheng, think it over.

Chu Cheng watched the conversation continue, thinking that there was no real necessity to ponder over the matter. Ji Qingzhou wasn’t the main character. He was just a supporting character.

Even if he were to invest in it and the drama continues filming, there would be two possible results in the end: 1. After broadcasting, it didn’t do well, and to make no losses would be a blessing. 2. After broadcasting, it made money, but as with most TV dramas, the first people to become popular would be the male and female protagonist. Ji Qingzhou, who played only a small part in the drama as the third male lead, was at a disadvantage when it came to attracting potential fans. It would be Chen Jiyuan who obtained the most profit in the end. Chu Cheng did not see himself as such a generous person who would be agreeable to taking his own money to benefit Chen Jiyuan. Thus there was nothing to consider. No matter what the result was, both were undesirable.

Chu Cheng was not worried about Ji Qingzhou. After all, he had plenty of resources.

It wouldn’t matter even if this drama were to really stop filming, as he could just find Ji Qingzhou another gig and he would not be inconvenienced. He forgot about investing in the drama.

Chu Cheng picked up Li Fei’s phone call, exchanged a few polite greetings, and when Li Fei raised the matter with “Boss Chu, there has been a problem with the capital of the production team recently. You see, Xiao Ji is still filming with the production team. It would not be good to stop filming at this time. Don’t you think this is the appropriate moment to invest a little?”

Chu Cheng calmly replied, “I have no intentions to do so recently.”

“The cost of this drama is not high, so there’s no need to invest too much. You can think about it.” Li Fei suggested.

Because he was abroad when Chu Cheng last called, he did not get to speak with Chu Cheng. Upon his return, Chu Cheng had already settled the matter with Jiang Nan, and he also learned about Chu Cheng’s relationship with Ji Qingzhou from Jiang Nan. Now that something had happened to the Wang family and the capital chain was broken, Li Fei’s first thought was Chu Cheng. He believed that with Chu Cheng and Ji Qingzhou’s relationship and the fact that the investment didn’t need to be big, Chu Cheng should accept.

Unexpectedly, Chu Cheng refused directly.

“Mr. Li, let’s stop with the formalities and get straight to the point,” Chu Cheng said. “This investment is really not big, but it’s useless to me. In terms of business, firstly, I haven’t seen this project and I don’t know whether it’ll earn a lot or lose a lot, so I don’t want to spend this pointless money. Secondly, even if the project is profitable and the drama explodes in popularity, it’s the male and female lead who’ll gain popularity, and it has little to do with Ji Qingzhou. He will at most gain a few fans. The public knows that such a person exists, but it will be incomparable to Chen Jiyuan’s gain. There’s no need for me to spend money supporting a person I don’t like, so this project earning money is not beneficial for me. Thirdly, if this project has losses, then all the more does this not benefit me, isn’t that right? ”
