888 Six-Ear Macaques Descent from Heaven (1/2)

”It feels so good to have power! Before this, I would never have imagined that there would ever be a day that I could possess strength comparable to the best fighter in Jianghu! It's all thanks to you –you opened up a whole new world to me! Man, this is awesome!”

After dawdling for a while, Song Qincheng leaned onto Chen Xiaobei's chest, grinning from ear to ear.

”Well, shouldn't you be thanking me? Just a kiss is not enough!” said Chen Xiaobei while licking his lips.

”Oh you big gray wolf. What else do you want to do? I won't do it!” Song Qincheng then said gently, ”Tomorrow you are going to compete in the martial arts competition! You will need to be fresh and energized. Please remember not to be stubborn. All that matters is for you to come back safely!”

”Understood, your highness!” Chen Xiaobei grinned and said, ”But you didn't come all the way here just to tell me this, did you?”

”Mm… Actually, I came here to report to the president of the company about work,” said Song Qincheng.

”President? What president?” Chen Xiaobei was startled.

”Who else? The president of the Qincheng Entertainment! You slacker! Can't you pay a little more attention?” Song Qincheng looked crossly at Chen Xiaobei and said, ”It has been ten days since Ling Yue the Heroine has been released! Don't you know about the situation at the box office?”

”Oh… I would've forgotten if you hadn't told me…” Chen Xiaobei smiled guiltily and said, ”C'mon, tell me. I'm curious. I want to know how my first film did!”

”Three billion!” Song Qincheng said with a face filled with pride, ”It had only been ten days and it had already exceeded the three billion mark! This breaks the record of the Chinese film industry! You've created a whole new legend in the industry!”

”Oh.” Chen Xiaobei just nodded. He looked unmoved as if Song Qincheng had said thirty yuan and not three billion.

Song Qincheng narrowed her eyes, and teased, ”I knew it. What is three billion to our beloved president?”

Chen Xiaobei said nothing but smile, quietly agreeing what she said.

After that unusual auction during their last trip to Paradise Island, Chen Xiaobei had gained a new understanding of money.

A chest with 2,000 Spiritual Stones inside it!

Selling a piece of Ambergris for 8,000 Spiritual Stones!

If it were to be converted to RMB, Chen Xiaobei had profited a total of ten trillion yuan in one day!

Chen Xiaobei now understood that money was just pieces of waste paper, a string of numbers – that had no other practical significance!

Three billion was nothing in Chen Xiaobei's eyes. If it were to be replaced by three Spiritual Stones, Chen Xiaobei might feel just the slightest bit of excitement.

Spiritual Stone was after all had more practical uses than the numbered waste papers.

”Okay, I'll talk about something else.” Song Qincheng understood Chen Xaobei very well, so she quickly changed the topic. ”The number of fans in your harem group has been soaring exponentially the past few days, and has already gone up to 15 million!”

”No way!” Chen Xiaobei's eyes lit up in excitement. ”Wow! That's a lot! That's way beyond what I expected!”

”Of course! Movie stars have a higher exposure rate!” Song Qincheng nodded and said, ”Based on the number of fans you have and how active are your fans, you have now become the country's top star! What's more, the number will keep growing!”

”That's great! I have gotten into acting solely to gain more fans!” Chen Xiaobei said ecstatically.

Among those fans were some pretty hard-core ones. And among those hard-core ones were Chen Xiaobei's disciples.

Even though Chen Xiaobei did not know what was the use of having disciples. But since the Prime of Tongtian had asked him to gather as many disciples as he could, he would do as he was told!

”It seems like you are very interested in your fans. Then you'll like what I have to say next!” Song Qincheng said, ”Since the release of Ling Yue the Heroine, there had been about ten businesses, both big and small, looking to engage you for advertisements and endorsements. All these will help you become even more famous! On top of that, there were also a lot of directors – especially the local one – are expressing interest in having you in their movies. My phone nearly exploded with all those calls.”

”What I didn't expect, though, is that there were also a lot of big Hollywood directors who talked to me about filming in America! That will definitely help you generate more foreign fans!”

Chen Xiaobei was very excited to hear this. ”Talk to them and find out if there are any good ones. We'll take those. The more fans the better!”
