From Sidekick to Bigshot

Back at the hotel, everyone went into their own rooms to rest. There was a match against another team tomorrow.

When Zhai Yunsheng returned to his room, his bodyguard reported:

“Master Sheng, there has recently been a group of people from international organizations that arrived in Tonghai City. They arrived around the same time as us. They were previously in Hengyuan City as well. Back then, we thought that such an occurrence was a mere coincidence. However, they have now followed us all the way to Tonghai City. It’s hard not to suspect that they’re coming after you.”

The Zhai family had made a lot of enemies. And thus, there were many people who wanted to act against the Zhai family.

Zhai Yunsheng didn’t even open his eyes. He didn’t react to the words.

In fact, he wasn’t even bothered to say a word.

This had happened to him many times in the past.

He had always been indifferent about such a thing. If someone wanted to make a move against him, then so be it.

In fact, Zhai Yunsheng’s bodyguard was also used to his indifferent reaction.

Although Zhai Yunsheng didn’t take the matter seriously, as his bodyguards, they had to be alert of these things. They had already informed the Second Master of the Zhai family.

As soon as he heard of this, the Second Master of the Zhai family had already mobilized more security personnel to come to Tonghai City.

When He Yan turned her television on, she discovered that she was the investor behind the movie that Mo Shiyun was starring in.

In fact, she had invested 200 million dollars into the movie! Part of that money was even borrowed from the bank!

She had used the house that they were living in and all her shares in the Jian family business as collateral.

He Yan was dumbfounded.

She had given her assets to Jian Yubo to manage. She wanted him to help her make money.

Investing in movies was indeed a good way to make money. However, it was way too risky to do this. If you weren’t careful, you could potentially lose all your money.

It was especially likely to lose your money in movies that had high production costs. One would be required to pay the actor a huge salary.

What made He Yan even more uneasy was the script of the movie and the actors that were meant to star in the movie.

The script for the movie was based in ancient war times. There were scenes where two armies were at war. This meant that hundreds and thousands of people were required to be on set.

Furthermore, all the actors required high salaries. They were celebrities that had become popular purely due to the influence of the Internet

In fact, most of the production costs were spent on the actors’ salaries.

He Yan, who used to be an actor, immediately sensed that something was wrong. She felt that the script for the movie and the list of actors was incredibly unreliable.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. And thus, He Yan found the hotel where Jian Yubo was staying.

She wanted to see him. However, she was stopped at the door.

“What are you doing? I’m his mother!”

He Yan was already in a hurry. She was even more furious when she was stopped by a few hired security guards. Did they not have the ability to make a judgment?

She had come to see her own son! And someone dared to stop her from entering the room?!

“I’m sorry madam. Our boss has told us that he’s not available for guests.”

“He’s not available for guests! But I’m not a guest! Can’t you tell the difference?” He Yan cried out.

Why did Jian Yubo hire such a security guard?!

The security guard remained where he was standing. He still blocked the doorway. He had no intention of moving out of the way.

And thus, He Yan took out her mobile phone and called Jian Yubo’s number.

No one answered for quite some time.

He Yan’s anger level skyrocketed.

He Yan went straight to the receptionist of the hotel. She requested for them to open the door for her.

However, the receptionist of the hotel told her that they had to respect the wishes of the guest. Even the guest’s mother did not have the right to ask them to open the door.

Just when He Yan was about to try and smash the door open, the door finally opened.

As soon as the door opened, He Yan rushed in. By this time, she was panting with rage.

Then, she saw Jian Yubo. He was seated next to a French window.

Jian Yubo was dressed in casual clothes. His face was expressionless and his whole body had an aura of detachment and indifference.

In front of him was a Go board. Many black and white pieces had been placed on the board already.

However, he was the only one who was playing.

He Yan’s presence hadn’t affected him. He did not even raise his head to look at He Yan.
