Chapter 18 - Shocked Su Wan

Su Wan, standing by, witnessed the scene unfolding before her, and a pang of bitterness welled up in her heart.

She had to humble herself so much for a five-million investment, while Jiang Cheng squandered tens of millions in just ten minutes; this stark contrast left her utterly shocked.

Her expressive, foxy eyes stared intently at Jiang Cheng, as if trying to see right through him.

Jiang Cheng's financial power undoubtedly made him stand out among all the rich second-generation heirs Su Wan had ever met.

One must know that even those rich second-generation heirs only had a monthly allowance of, at most, a few hundred thousand, with a bit more reaching up to a million.

There were plenty of rich second-generation heirs in their teens with personal fortunes of tens of millions.

But Su Wan had never seen anyone who could immediately pull out over fifty million in savings to buy a car.

And this was just the liquid cash in Jiang Cheng's mobile bank account.

What about his other assets? This indicated that his net worth was definitely more than a hundred million.

While celebrities might appear glamorous on the surface, their income varied wildly depending on their status.

For actors in the same drama, the highest-paid male and female leads, for example, a first-tier celebrity could earn tens of millions for one show.

However, for supporting male and female roles, it was typically one or two million.

The remuneration for other minor roles plummeted even further, with hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands being common.

And Su Wan belonged to the category of small actors earning tens of thousands.

After receiving this pay, she still had to split it with her management company, so over fifty million was indeed an astronomical sum for her current situation.

Moreover, every celebrity has a peak period, and once it passes, new faces take their place.

This is why many celebrities want to marry into wealth.

They hope to find a stable financial anchor through marriage to maintain their quality of life.

"Congratulations, Host, your level has upgraded again!"

"The Host earns 1.2 yuan for every second of existence in the world."

"Name: Jiang Cheng."

"Age: 18 years old."

"Height: 182."

"Looks: 85 points."

"Level: 8."

"System Reserve Fund: 86,410 yuan (can be withdrawn at any time)"

"System: 1.2 yuan/second."

"Upgrade Experience: 68.9 million / 100 million."

The 1.2 yuan he earned every second amounted to 72 yuan per minute, 4,320 yuan per hour, and 103,680 yuan per day, making his monthly salary 3.11 million.

His annual salary was almost 40 million.

While making the payment, Jiang Cheng also used a Sports Car Purchase Critical Strike Card.

"Ding! Sports Car Purchase Critical Strike Card used successfully. Congratulations, Host, you have received a triple critical strike from a Junior Critical Strike Card! Critical strike amount: 130 million."

Jiang Cheng, who suddenly received 130 million, was truly so excited he was practically purple in the face.

For an ordinary person, this amount of money would allow them to live comfortably for the rest of their life.

Huang Ming, watching the car ordering process, suddenly felt a loss of face and said to Su Wan, "Little Wanwan, I suddenly don't feel like buying a car. Come on, want to go for a drink with me?"

"Mr. Huang, I still have to go back to the company for a meeting later," Su Wan politely declined him.

Hearing this, Huang Ming's temper immediately flared up. He warned, "How much face does a small celebrity think she has? Su Wan, I'm telling you, either this investment falls through, or you clean up and wait for me."

"This... Mr. Huang, you..." Su Wan was also somewhat angry hearing this.

"Me... what me? What's with the act! Who do you think you are, trying to act pure? I'm talking to you nicely, and you're wasting my time here. I'm telling you, either clean up and wait for me, or you can expect to be blacklisted."

Su Wan also retorted firmly, "Mr. Huang, whether you invest or not, I still say the same thing: I will not give in. Do as you please."

"Ding, a special mission has been triggered."

"Help Su Wan out of her predicament and gain Su Wan's signing intention. A special reward will be granted upon completion of the mission!"

Jiang Cheng smiled at the system's operation.

"Mr. Huang, what big talk, the Qing Dynasty already perished! Miss Su, don't worry, if he doesn't invest, I will."

Su Wan was surprised and her eyes widened when Jiang Cheng suddenly spoke to her.

Huang Ming, seeing Jiang Cheng say this, didn't dare to confront him, as he had already witnessed Jiang Cheng's strength. He could only huff angrily and then walked away directly.

Su Wan straightened up, composed herself, and asked Jiang Cheng, "Hello, I'm Su Wan."

"Jiang Cheng."

"Mr. Jiang, was what you just said about the investment true?"

After asking, Su Wan felt a bit abrupt and explained, "It's like this, Huang Ming is an investor for our Tiancheng Entertainment company. Now that he's not investing, it will be very difficult for me to explain at the company."

Su Wan was just a small third or fourth-tier celebrity, completely unqualified to choose her own scripts.

Moreover, the company constantly made various excessive demands on her. Because she had always upheld her bottom line, she had been in a semi-blacklisted state since her debut.

She knew that her refusal of Huang Ming this time might truly lead to her being completely blacklisted by the company.

Tiancheng Entertainment? Last night, when he was talking with Yu Xiaoxiao, he seemed to have heard her mention it; she worked there.

The system had already issued a mission, so Jiang Cheng naturally had to complete it.

After all, the system's rewards were always very generous.

Jiang Cheng nodded, "Of course."

"Mr. Jiang, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity! I will definitely work hard to act well!" Su Wan said excitedly.

She was already 19 years old this year, and her most outstanding role had only been a supporting female character; all others were minor roles.

She worked diligently every day, filming, but had never had a breakout role.

It had been several months since her last acting gig.

Su Wan was currently in a phase where she had no projects to film.

That's why she agreed to accompany Huang Ming on a shopping trip, hoping for a chance to get a new role.

However, Huang Ming kept hinting at other demands. Although Su Wan didn't agree, she still wanted to seize the opportunity to play a leading female role.

Just then, Yu Xiaoxiao's WeChat message came, saying she had already booked a restaurant and invited Jiang Cheng to dinner.

After reading it, Jiang Cheng said to Su Wan, "Let's discuss the investment tomorrow. I have something to do tonight."

Su Wan nodded, then proactively said, "Then, Mr. Jiang, would it be convenient to add me on WeChat?"

Jiang Cheng naturally did not refuse.

After all, Su Wan's charming eyes were indeed very beautiful.

When she looked at people, she was not only lively but also exuded a captivating glow.

Coupled with her 36D figure, her attractiveness was indeed very powerful.
