"The Gu King inside me is still stubbornly resisting; it refuses to easily become a part of me, but let's see how long you can struggle!"

In the room, Ye Chen's expression was solemn. That Gu King had to be refined as soon as possible, otherwise if the Gu King's master came looking, things could get pretty bad.

"Shihua, what's with you today? You're acting so strange," asked Zhang Xinlan, who was lying in bed in another room.

"Nothing really, how are things going with your company?" Liu Shihua responded breezily, giving nothing away to Zhang Xinlan.

"The company's progress is not bad. I've already rented the office building, and tomorrow we'll start arranging for workers to move in and start the renovations!" said Zhang Xinlan.

"Since Ye Chen has raised all the funds, we don't need to invest, right?" Liu Shihua asked while lying on the bed, talking with Zhang Xinlan.

"Hmm, theoretically that's the case, but I think we should still invest some because there's money to be made!" Zhang Xinlan replied.

Zhang Xinlan and Liu Shihua were now a golden combination in the entertainment circle, even legends! But their initial goal in entering the entertainment industry was not to become goddesses, nor stars, and certainly not for fame and glory. They just wanted to make money!

"Then how much should we put in?" Liu Shihua asked. She had always entrusted her funds to Zhang Xinlan's management, whether it was investing in real estate, stocks, or anything else, and had reaped substantial rewards, which is why she depended on her.

"The initial funding is one hundred million; let's each invest twenty million. That'll give us twenty percent of the company's shares," Zhang Xinlan stated.

"Didn't you say we would each put in fifty million before?" Liu Shihua asked, surprised.

"That was before, when Ye Chen's funds hadn't arrived yet, and it was just an estimate," Zhang Xinlan explained. "Now that his funds have arrived, even having a stake of twenty million is the limit because Ye Chen wants to centralize control and develop the company into his own backyard."

"Furthermore, the involvement of Li Yan, Liu Yingxiong, and Li Yingjie is free of charge—it's the favor they owe to Ye Chen!" Zhang Xinlan said. "To be able to own twenty percent of the shares is already a big bargain for you and me."

Liu Shihua seemed to understand something and stayed silent, just quietly looking at Zhang Xinlan.

A strange feeling arose in Zhang Xinlan's heart. Liu Shihua's behavior today was too odd, giving her an indescribable feeling.

"Xinlan, if I invest in the film and television company, do you think I'll continue singing and acting?" Liu Shihua asked.

"Do you want to?" Zhang Xinlan countered. Some people are in the entertainment industry for material wealth. Some have a pure interest, enjoying making music and film, which gives them a strong sense of achievement.

"I do! We've fought in this circle for so long, and I'm on the verge of becoming an entertainment legend, the Queen of the industry—I naturally don't want to give up so easily!" Liu Shihua said.

Liu Shihua was like a Crown Prince who was about to become the Emperor—she couldn't possibly be content being a commoner.

"Then you continue your career!" Zhang Xinlan said.

"But what if I find someone I like, have a child, have a family—do I continue to mingle in this circle?" Liu Shihua asked.

"You, you've found someone you like?" Zhang Xinlan showed surprise.

Liu Shihua had always been like a little sister in her heart, but she knew that this little sister had grown up and probably had the same desires for marriage and family. However, hearing Liu Shihua say such things out loud still took her by surprise.

"Not yet," Liu Shihua shook her head blankly. "If I did, I would definitely tell you. I was just asking casually."

"That's good then, you're still young and it's the best time for your career!" Zhang Xinlan smiled. "Besides, you'll meet many excellent men in the future. Your soulmate will surely appear!"

Liu Shihua showed a peculiar expression. Zhang Xinlan's well-intentioned words sounded almost like a warning not to compete with her for Ye Chen!

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xinlan noticed Liu Shihua's discomfort.

"Xinlan, I remember you said something like that—if I fell for Ye Chen, you'd let me have him," Liu Shihua brought up mischievously, wanting to provoke Zhang Xinlan.
