Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?

Chapter 143: Yang Xiaoxiu's Efforts



In the following days, whenever he had time, Li Jing would visit the film set.

He could watch how others acted and accumulate experience, while also fulfilling his childhood dream of making movies.

Due to his status as an investor and his familiarity with Wen Lan, he could practically do whatever he wanted on set, and no one dared to say anything, making him much more comfortable than the average actor or staff member.

During this time, Yang Xiaoxiu would come to the set almost every day, even though she had no scenes to film.

Even if she was just helping the props team prepare props or helping the notes person move things.

When no one needed her help, she'd stand at the filming location to watch others act.

Though Yang Xiaoxiu came every day, her status in the crew did not significantly improve, still as invisible as air.

Whether she came or not made no difference and had no impact on the crew, not even prompting anyone to ask about her status.

Li Jing had once subtly inquired from others in the crew, and they had long become accustomed to Yang Xiaoxiu's behavior.

For young people without any background, it's truly difficult to stand out in this circle, so someone like Yang Xiaoxiu works hard to perform and make herself noticed.

She wasn't the only one doing this in the crew; the people had seen many, so except for Li Jing, no one thought Yang Xiaoxiu was particularly special.

If you have to say how Yang Xiaoxiu is unique, perhaps it's just that she's persisted longer.

Some newcomers would find it impressive to stick around for a few days, but Yang Xiaoxiu had already persisted for over half a month and intended to continue.

Besides helping out in the crew every day, Yang Xiaoxiu had one other must-do activity: chatting with Li Jing.

Initially, Li Jing hadn't noticed, but after "running into" Yang Xiaoxiu daily, he realized she was intentionally approaching him.

The only reason Li Jing could think of was that Yang Xiaoxiu wanted to get closer to him, the investor.

Yang Xiaoxiu was smart in controlling the boundaries, each time chatting with Li Jing for a while, then going to help others, never taking up too much of his time.

Because of this, Li Jing couldn't really dislike this girl who approached him for a purpose, especially since she was only trying to create more opportunities for her future.

"Yang Xiaoxiu is really quite diligent."

Li Jing had just sighed when Zhang Xinxin, who was holding onto his arm, perked up her ears and curiously asked, "Yang Xiaoxiu? Who is she? Is she Brother Jing's new girlfriend?"

Upon learning that Li Jing had been staying at An Tong's house during this period, Zhang Xinxin came rushing over immediately on the weekend, fearing her place in Li Jing's heart might be diminished.

Later, Zhang Xinxin found a way to drag Li Jing away from An Tong's house, persuading him to accompany her on a walk.

Li Jing naturally understood Zhang Xinxin's intentions and didn't mind, letting her lead him out the door.

Currently, the two of them were wandering around the mall, Zhang Xinxin dutifully reporting what she had been doing recently while holding Li Jing's hand and walking alongside him.

She had never proactively asked Li Jing to buy her things, even though they had already passed by many luxury goods shops in the mall.

Knowing clearly her status and identity, even seeing An Tong wearing a Patek Philippe nearly drove her mad with jealousy, she still managed to resist asking Li Jing for anything.

She knew Li Jing disliked girls being greedy and constantly demanding.

I mustn't let Brother Jing feel annoyed at me; I must be his emotional haven.

Thinking this, Zhang Xinxin kept quiet, while Li Jing naturally thought of recent filming matters, thinking of Yang Xiaoxiu.

Upon hearing Zhang Xinxin's question, Li Jing regained his focus, realizing he was still shopping with Zhang Xinxin.

"Nothing much, just a young girl I just met, not really familiar."

Li Jing gave a simple answer, then looked at her and smiled, "Why, you bring me to the mall but don't want me to buy you anything?"

"No, I just wanted to spend some time with Brother Jing wherever."

Zhang Xinxin immediately explained, "Even if you don't buy me anything, as long as I'm with you I'm very happy."

"Really?" This chapter was originally posted on M^VLEMPYR.

Li Jing looked at her.

If it were An Tong saying this, Li Jing might believe it.

But Zhang Xinxin's character differs from An Tong, having more desire and longing for luxury goods and money.

Not that she sees Li Jing as a cash machine, but with her personality, she'd look forward to gifts from Li Jing.

Especially since Li Jing had bought An Tong many things during this period but hadn't bought anything for her.

"Of course, it's true!"

Zhang Xinxin widened her eyes, full of affirming sincerity, "I didn't come to ask Brother Jing for things, I just missed you."

Li Jing's mouth curved slightly, "Alright, then today I won't buy anything, just accompany you shopping, how about it?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xinxin showed a slight change in her eyes but still nodded, "Sure, as long as Brother Jing accompanies me, it's fine."

In the next hour or so, although Li Jing visited many luxury shops with her, he truly didn't intend to spend a penny, even the two cups of milk tea they bought were paid for by Zhang Xinxin.

As the two reached the mall's ground floor entrance, Li Jing glanced at Zhang Xinxin deliberately, "Let's wrap it up today, let's go back."

On her first mall trip with Li Jing leaving empty-handed, Zhang Xinxin couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed inside but still managed to force a smile, "Okay! I'll call a car."

Seeing her intentionally choose the most expensive ride option in the app rather than a cheaper vehicle, Li Jing raised an eyebrow, "Why not choose a standard vehicle, it's cheaper by over ten bucks."

"Of course, to make sure Brother Jing is comfortable."

Zhang Xinxin ordered the ride and naturally said, "Although I don't have money for luxury gifts, I will certainly provide you with the best rides and meals, things within my means."

Li Jing watched her with a faint smile, "Being so nice to me?"

"You are good to me, so it's only right for me to be good to you."

Seeing Li Jing wearing a testing demeanor, Zhang Xinxin furrowed her brows in dissatisfaction, "Brother Jing, have you spent too long with An Tong to trust me anymore? If you continue, I'll be truly unhappy."

Seeing her little face turn slightly sullen, Li Jing chuckled, refraining from teasing more, and waved, "Alright, alright, maybe I misspoke."

As he spoke, he glanced at the phone showing the ordered car, "Cancel the order, I just remembered something, we won't go back yet."

"Not going back?"

Zhang Xinxin frowned in confusion but obediently canceled the order then looked at him, "Brother Jing, where are we heading now?"

Li Jing gestured with his eyes to the LV store across, "Remember I promised to buy you the latest fall season bag, go and choose one."

"Really?!!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Zhang Xinxin's eyes sparkled, her face growing slightly flushed in excitement.

"Of course, it's true."

Li Jing checked the time, purposely said, "Don't take too long, if you delay I might leave."

"Alright! No need for ten minutes, five—five minutes and I'll choose! Thank you, Brother Jing, love you!"

Zhang Xinxin hugged Li Jing tightly and, under the surprised gaze of passersby, gave him a fervent kiss, then turned and ran into the shop quickly.

Seeing this, Li Jing's expression subtly shifted, he shook his head, sighing:

"Money, truly a magical thing."
