AP Chapter 10: If You Become Rich And Successful One Day, Don’t Forget Me

‘Fate~’

When this word is uttered with a sigh, it seems to add another layer of romance. The universe has existed for countless years, time and space are infinite, and yet here you are, you and he intertwined in this moment and this scene. It’s so touching to think about – but if she wasn’t being teased by everyone, Ye Zhen feels she could be even more moved.

Too bad she had just been released from the hospital and could barely speak above a whisper. The crew happily announced that all the scenes with Xi Gu had been reshot and the filming was finished. The record sheets and other things she wanted to check for information were either taken away for post-production effects or destroyed, leaving her unprepared as she was unfamiliar with the crew’s process. She was only able to take a photo of Tan Jia’s script notes and a custom sketch of the ‘National Treasure’ silver bag prop. 

And that’s not all, on the rare occasion of a farewell party, everyone got together and talked about everything. She wanted to watch for suspicious signs again, but because of Rongcheng Jue, she was forced to become the center of attention and was slyly teased by hundreds of people in the crew.

Xiao Lin was the most straightforward of them all. When she was drunk, she clung to Ye Zhen’s thigh and shouted affectionately, ‘Sister, Rongcheng Jue is worth billions, you’ve got to seize the opportunity! Don’t forget, hold onto the wealth and don’t forget, don’t forget, don’t forget—”

“Ye Zhen, you should avoid meeting shallow women like her in the future,” Rongcheng Jue said as he pulled Xiao Lin away from Ye Zhen. “I have many good qualities, and being rich is only a small part of it!”

Ye Zhen: My throat hurts, I can’t speak…

Feeling that things were getting out of hand, Director Li finally came out to maintain order and said, “All right, everyone calm down. It’s okay to have fun, but don’t go overboard.” The implication is the reminder that Rongcheng Jue was still their wealthy investor, so they shouldn’t insult the rich daddy.

He wanted to finish his meal and ask President Rongcheng for more investment in special effects.

Everyone was drunk, and it’s unclear how many people actually understood what Director Li meant. Nevertheless, there was laughter and someone shouted, “Li Dao is drinking, let’s all drink with him! Cheers to Li Dao!”

“Right, right, right, let’s all raise a toast to Li Dao!”

“Full glasses, everyone~”

“Okay,” Director Li filled his glass and raised it, “But before everyone toasts me, I would like to toast Brother Ye first.”

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the laughter of the crowd gradually subsided.

Just when everyone thought that Director Li might say something to express his longing for movie star Ye Yi, he simply raised his hands and raised his cup to the sky, red-eyed and determined, “Brother, let’s drink!” The wine poured down like tears, and after he finished the cup, he shook his hand and filled it up again, “I’m your little brother Li Qing, and for now… I’ll just drink it as a toast!”

Many people also raised their glasses in silence at this sight and drank along.

Amidst the silence, Ye Zhen’s gaze swept over the faces of the people. Some were wiping their tears, some were sad but not mournful, and some were looking at others with questions but didn’t dare to ask. Meanwhile, Old Wu and Old Qian, who were discussing in the coordination office that day, clinked their glasses and sighed.

As Ye Zhen tried to turn around and look behind her, using Rongcheng Jue as a cover, she felt a gaze looking at her, filled with a hint of sympathy and hesitation.

Master Yao—

Why was he looking at her like that? Could it be… Ye Zhen quickly lowered her gaze and took a sip of her juice, pretending to be nonchalant as she turned her attention to the crowd, wondering if she should find a chance to talk to Master Yao.

Unexpectedly, he felt her gaze and came over on his own. Rubbing his hands, he asked, “Xiao Ye, are you leaving for Beijing tomorrow? My next drama starts right after this, so I can’t go back. Can you take something to your sister-in-law for me?”

“Use express delivery!” Without waiting for Ye Zhen’s answer, Rongcheng Jue interjected, “In this day and age, who still asks someone to bring things from far away? Isn’t it hard for Ye Zhen to carry it back?”

Ye Zhen looked at him, put down her cup and whispered to Master Yao, “Master, let’s talk outside. My throat hurts and I can’t talk out loud.”

“Okay, sure.”

They found a corner and whispered to each other. “What does Master want me to bring to the Master’s wife? Why so serious?” Ye Zhen joked with him, “A ring or some jewelery?”

“Oh, it’s just some tea leaves, West Lake Longjing. I’m afraid the delivery service might crush them,” Master Yao said as he took a bag out of his pocket and handed it to her. “We’ve been married for so long, no need for jewelry or anything like that.”

Ye Zhen took it and Master Yao swiped the phone screen and handed it to her, “This is my address. I know you have a good memory, so I won’t write it down for you. Just take a look.”

Following his lead, Ye Zhen glanced at the screen. It was a “Reminder” page, and the first column clearly listed Master Yao’s home address, as well as his wife’s name and phone number. The second column was about Tan Jia, whose address and phone number Ye Zhen was trying to find out. The third column was about someone named Cheng Zi, and the fourth column was about someone named Ah Ying…..

Ye Zhen pulled her eyes away and looked at Master Yao. He pulled back his hand, turned off his phone, put it in his pocket and said, “That’s all I know.”

“Thank you, Master Yao. Also,” Ye Zhen whispered, “I am his daughter.”

Master Yao nodded and said, “I suspected as much. There was a rumor in the industry about his marriage more than 20 years ago, and your age matches it. If you look closely, you also resemble him quite a bit. You’ve given up your future to come here and take notes, showing filial piety. As your master, I can’t just stand by and watch.”

“Thank you,” Ye Zhen whispered.

“As a girl, you should be careful and take care of your own safety when you are out and about.”

“En, I understand,” Ye Zhen replied quietly.

Master Yao was a wise old man who understood the importance of maintaining a good relationship with others. He had originally planned to say nothing, but when he saw how young Ye Zhen looked, as if she didn’t understand the dangers of the world. After thinking about the “Hero Saves Beauty” video that had gone viral a few days ago, he felt a sense of duty to help his student. Gritting his teeth, he revealed the truth, “Actually, I’ve been asking around.” He turned to look at Rongcheng Jue, who was drinking with Xi Gu on the side. “‘The Great Tang Treasure’ TV series uses all of Rongcheng Entertainment’s creative staff and resources, but Rongcheng Entertainment as an investor only gets a small portion of the profits. The majority, it seems, goes to Rongcheng Yue herself.”

As he suddenly jumped topics, Ye Zhen blinked: ?

“Oh, don’t you understand? She’s trying to fish out some benefits. This is a project worth over 300 million yuan!”

“Why should she have to fish her own money out?”

“This is not her family’s money,” Master Yao said, getting anxious. “Rongcheng Jue is an only child. The Rongcheng Group was started from scratch by his father, and it will all be his in the future. Rongcheng Yue is just his cousin. Don’t you know that?”

She knew they were just cousins, which was no secret in the entertainment industry. What she didn’t know was the composition of the Rongcheng family’s wealth.

It turned out that Rongcheng Yue, as the CEO of Rongcheng Entertainment, only had the position, but not the equity. She used Rongcheng Entertainment to undertake projects, but kept the money for herself. This could indeed be considered embezzlement.

Master Yao gave her a “get it?” look and said, “But you see, Rongcheng Jue still comes here to show support. This is either because it is rumored in the outside world that their relationship as cousins is really good, or,” he paused, “there is something going on. You may be smarter than others, but you’re still a young girl. Don’t let him fool you. Listen to your master’s advice, those things in CEO romance dramas can’t be trusted.”

Unexpectedly, she could not refute that, so she simply replied, “Don’t worry, Master, I won’t.”

TL: Don’t get confused with President and CEO being the same, since CEO is one step higher than President. Rongcheng Jue is the President of the whole Rongcheng Group, while his cousin Rongcheng Yue is the CEO of just the entertainment company.
