Starting from joining Tencent Video

Chapter 144 Shock, Contentment

Waterfront Mansion

Chen Keke and Sun Yiran arrived late.

"Coco, this is the house your brother bought!?"

"A house in this location would cost at least 200 million."

...

Sun Yiran and Zhang Yaqin said with astonishment.

They weren't too surprised when Chen Keke told them that her older brother had bought a house in Shanghai.

President Chen's resume is quite clear online; he became the head of Tianhe Studio very early on.

The bonuses and salary will definitely be high, and buying a house shouldn't be a problem.

The only thing I didn't expect was that it was in the center of the city and that it was a super mansion.

It's only a few kilometers away from their school.

Sun Yiran and Zhang Yaqin were both quite shocked.

"My brother is good at more than just choosing projects."

"I have some achievements in stock trading."

Chen Keke said proudly, without any intention of hiding anything.

There's nothing wrong with income earned honestly and openly; just be straightforward about it.

Otherwise, if they didn't say anything, Sun Yiran and the other two might have wild ideas and think that their older brother had embezzled a lot of money from Tencent.

"Mr. Chen is a big stock market player?!"

Sun Yiran and Zhang Yaqin showed some surprise on their faces.

They often saw stock market gurus online, but they never expected to meet one.

The most crucial person is President Chen!

"My brother studied economics, so is it strange that he knows how to trade stocks?!"

"This waterfront mansion was acquired through profits from purchasing shares of Baofeng Technology."

...

Chen Keke's casual remark immediately silenced Sun Yiran and the other person.

If everyone who studies economics knew how to trade stocks, they wouldn't be thinking about entering the entertainment industry.

All I can say is that President Chen is just too amazing!

When Chen Keke and the other two entered the waterfront mansion, Chen Jingyuan had arrived about half an hour earlier.

Chen Jingyuan was surprised that Chen Keke and the others were so slow, and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

However, he didn't pay much attention and had someone pre-order some food from the hotel.

After getting off the plane, he went straight to the waterfront mansion, and it was almost noon.

Upon hearing the noise at the gate, Chen Jingyuan immediately stood up to greet him.

"Bro!"

Chen Keke gave Chen Jingyuan a hug as soon as she saw him.

Then she began to introduce her two roommates.

Although Chen Jingyuan had already inquired beforehand and was quite familiar with the matter, he still showed a lot of smiles on his face at this moment.

"Hello, I am Chen Jingyuan."

"Welcome to my home."

...

Chen Jingyuan's words were still very polite, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

Zhang Yiran and Zhang Yaqin replied, still somewhat flattered, though their words clearly suppressed a great deal of their excitement.

Both women had wondered what President Chen was like in private.

I never expected him to be so easygoing!

The interaction between the two siblings made Sun Yiran and her partner a little envious.

Chen Keke's actions and words reveal that she is quite favored by her older brother.

On second thought, Chen Keke established her studio before even taking the art exam after finishing her second year of high school.

Considering Chen Keke's family situation, it was definitely Mr. Chen's suggestion that came to mind.

Mr. Chen must love his younger sister, Chen Keke, very much.

"Please have a seat, I'll get you some drinks."

After getting to know each other, Chen Keke began to greet her two roommates.

Chen Keke is probably more familiar with this house than Chen Jingyuan is.

For example, if she occasionally returns to Shanghai late, Chen Keke might not be able to go back to her dorm, so she goes directly to the waterfront mansion.

Furthermore, the waterfront mansion is regularly cleaned, and Chen Keke stores some supplies there.

For example, mineral water, beverages, instant noodles, etc., sometimes I just eat a bite to get by.

Even though she's rich now, Chen Keke doesn't spend money as extravagantly as one might imagine.

"Mr. Chen, thank you for your help before."

"This opportunity is too precious for us."

...

After settling into their seats, Sun Yiran and Zhang Yaqin couldn't wait to express their gratitude.

This opportunity was indeed very rare for the two of them.

Perhaps some talent agencies will take notice of them.

As for signing with Lanco Studio, the two of them still dare not even think about it.

After all, Lanco Studio clearly takes an elite approach, and they are aware of their own limitations.

Chen Keke would have said it long ago if she had the chance; the two of them are both intelligent people.

"It's nothing, just perform well."

Chen Jingyuan spoke without changing his expression, but inwardly he nodded.

He had not met Sun Yiran and the other person before; he knew most of them from Chen Keke.

It now seems they were all intelligent people, not fools.

That alone is enough!

He wouldn't mind giving Chen Keke more support, at least it would provide her with some emotional support.

Perhaps the two don't have the qualities to become famous, but they still have a chance to gradually gain recognition through resources.

Just because you're a nobody doesn't mean you're not a star; you still have a chance to earn over a million a year.

This is enough for many people.

While Chen Jingyuan was briefly lost in thought, Chen Keke had already brought over drinks and some snacks.

"You don't need to be so polite!"

"I bought a lot before."

"We may have less time to get together in the future."

...

Chen Keke said with a somewhat conflicted expression.

With her brother in Shanghai, she probably won't choose to stay in her dorm.

"Coco, it's okay."

"Anyway, we're going to the film crew, so we're not in the dorm."

...

Sun Yiran and the other person both spoke up, saying they could understand why Chen Keke moved to the waterfront mansion.

If it were them, they would most likely have done the same.

There's absolutely no need to worry about whether it will interfere with your school schedule.

Chen Keke is now taking a leave of absence, so it's actually fine if she doesn't go to class.

As her popularity soared, Chen Keke's fan base exploded.

The principal and others at the Shanghai Theatre Academy aren't stupid; they can see that. With such a star student, why wouldn't they spoil him?

Moreover, Chen Keke's background is already laid bare, so it's easy for her to pull strings or use connections to secure investment or roles.

If we don't establish a good relationship now, it will be too late to ask for help later.

Many directors and professors at the Shanghai Theatre Academy have relatives or children.

Befriending Chen Keke is definitely a worthwhile investment!

As they chatted more, Chen Jingyuan asked Chen Keke about her university life and whether she had encountered any problems.

Sun Yiran and Zhang Yaqin didn't hold back at all in front of Chen Jingyuan when they saw Chen Keke.

For example, they talked about Xu Hui, and also about some of Chen Keke's awkward moments.

Anyway, Chen Jingyuan listened with great interest, but Chen Keke wouldn't tell him about these things.

After all, Chen Keke also cares about her image!

"Brother, I'm thinking of acting less."

"Appear on more variety shows, so you won't get criticized for your acting skills."

"Even if it's acting, don't give me the female lead."

To change the subject, Chen Keke brought up another matter.

Chen Keke has some talent in acting, but not as much as one might imagine. There are many people with far more talent than her.

In particular, many of her classmates are better at acting than her.

After some consideration, Chen Keke decided to spend more time on variety shows.

The half-playing, half-acting approach suited her better, and she took this opportunity to speak out.

Anyway, Chen Keke didn't aspire to become a top star; she initially wanted to act more because she could make a lot of money.

Currently, she is quite satisfied with her situation; with her older brother around, she doesn't need to work hard.

Moreover, she earns a considerable amount of money herself, and she also owns shares in the studio.

Chen Keke has a very clear understanding of herself, and all she can do is try her best not to cause trouble for her older brother.

After he finished speaking, Sun Yiran and Zhang Yaqin both looked on with envy.

Chen Keke doesn't want the lead role; that's what they want!

There was a truly indescribable feeling; what Chen Keke could obtain so easily was something they could never attain.

Unconsciously, Sun Yiran and her companion couldn't help but glance at President Chen out of the corner of their eyes.

With this backing, Chen Keke can choose whatever she wants.

"Can!"

After a brief moment's thought, Chen Jingyuan agreed.

He was aware of some of Chen Keke's thoughts, but that was fine.

Contentment brings happiness!

Becoming a top celebrity isn't all that great; the pressure is immense, there are many endorsements, and you have to consider even more things.

Even if he wanted to give up, his fans and his team probably wouldn't allow it.

Just like Dilraba, she was extremely busy after becoming a top-tier actress.

Chen Keke is doing quite well now!

While not a top-tier celebrity, their fame is still quite good, at least better than many stars.

If you choose reliable endorsements, earning tens of millions a year is not a problem.

Even after taxes are deducted, there are still several million in income.

Chen Keke is already very satisfied; the only remaining issue is the shares of the studio.

Although there are no dividends or anything like that, its value is undeniable.
