After bidding farewell to Xu Jie and Ma Zhangyang, who admired Jiang Bai to the point of prostrating themselves before Jiang Bai, Jiang Bai returned home.
He was woken up by Xu Jie early the next morning and drove to pick up Jiang Bai. He spent the whole morning going through all the procedures. The Great World Entertainment City officially fell into Jiang Bai's hands.
At the same time, when Ma Zhangyang found out that Jiang Bai was currently walking, he generously gave Jiang Bai a brand new S600.
Xu Jie, on the other hand, did not hesitate. He immediately called over one of his lackeys, who looked rather delicate and refined, to act as Jiang Bai's driver.
The young man was quite clever. When he saw Jiang Bai, he called him 'Big Brother'. He knew when to advance and when to retreat. His behavior was appropriate and he quickly got into his role. He looked like he was dead set on Jiang Bai.
No matter what he thought, at least on the surface, he was quite satisfactory.
The young man's surname was Ma, and his name was Ma Xiaotian. Usually, everyone called him Xiaotian. His family drove a taxi, so his driving skills were skilled and he was quite reliable. When Xu Jie arranged for him to come, Jiang Bai followed suit.
In just one morning, Jiang Bai's net worth was in the tens of millions. He was overjoyed as if he had fallen into the clouds.
Although this family business was far worse than the real rich people, it was naturally much better than the ordinary people.
"Mr. Jiang, let's have lunch together."
After finishing all the transfer of ownership, he was busy all morning. Seeing that it was almost noon, Ma Zhangyang naturally knew the ways of the world and proposed a meal.
"This … Okay."
Jiang Bai hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Anyway, he had nothing to do now and he did not know how to take care of the Entertainment City.
Just now, he said that he would let Xu Jie handle the miscellaneous matters. The management was still handed over to the former manager, Li Qiang. He let Uncle Cao become the security captain. The rest was unchanged.
The business that was already flourishing did not need to be changed. He himself had already spent a month writing Celestial Bane and only needed to update it automatically every day. He did not remember the other books and his path as a literary giant was completely cut off. He had nothing to do. Even if he went home to eat, he might as well give Ma Zhangyang some face.
"Haha, alright, I'll arrange it right away."
After obtaining Jiang Bai's approval, Ma Zhangyang was very happy and immediately started making arrangements.
He had long seen that Jiang Bai was not a simple person. Sooner or later, he would have to look down on this kind of person. When that time came, it would be too late to curry favor with him. Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get closer to him. There would be many benefits in the future.
A brief moment later, Ma Zhangyang booked a famous Hunan restaurant and the three of them drove over.
Jiang Bai's new chauffeur, Little Tian, as well as Xu Jie and Ma Zhangyang's chauffeur, followed behind.
Along the way, the three of them chatted about their daily lives and became more familiar with each other. Ma Zhangyang courteously welcomed them and was very knowledgeable about the ways of the world. He chatted quite well with Jiang Bai and Xu Jie, who were already close to him, and this made Jiang Bai's impression of him change slightly.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Hunan restaurant. The moment they entered, there were people waiting for them and led them to a room with unique decorations.
A few tall and slender girls were standing by the side. It was obvious that they had been waiting for a long time. As soon as they entered, dishes that had been prepared long ago were placed on the table. There were more than thirty dishes. The number of dishes was so large that it dazzled one's eyes.
"Want to drink?" Ma Zhangyang asked.
"Sure." Xu Jie replied.
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Jiang Bai did not hesitate and nodded his head.
A brief moment later, two bottles of Maotai were placed on the table.
After eating, Ma Zhangyang was the first to stand up. After exchanging some pleasantries, he gulped down a large glass of wine and poured more wine. Xu Jie and Jiang Bai did not refuse. In just ten-odd minutes, the two bottles were emptied. After that, they took two more bottles.
Just as they were drinking, Jiang Bai's phone suddenly rang. Xu Jie and Ma Zhangyang immediately stopped what they were doing and made a shushing gesture to the few people standing beside them. The originally bustling room instantly became silent.
"Hello … Is this Jiang Bai?" A voice sounded. It was slightly simple and honest, causing Jiang Bai to be stunned. He did not understand and asked, "Yes, you are?"
"I'm your editor, Er Pang. Haha, this is the first time I'm calling you. This is my number. I have something to talk to you about. Is it convenient to talk now?"
The person on the other end of the phone laughed and said. His voice was extremely loud and clear. In addition, Jiang Bai's voice was not soft, so the people around them could hear it clearly.
"Editor?" Xu Jie and Ma Zhangyang looked at each other in confusion.
"Ah … It's me, it's me. Hehe, what's the matter? Is there a problem with the book? "Jiang Bai said enthusiastically.
Er Pang was a good person. The two of them had a lot of interactions over the past month. Moreover, he was the God of Wealth. Jiang Bai would not offend him, nor would he think highly of himself just because he had money. He was not that kind of person.
"It's like this. Recently, your book has been too popular. A few publishers have contacted me to help you publish it. I've chosen a few, but I don't know if you're willing. If you're willing …"
"Of course I'm willing. I believe in you. As for the publishing matter, you can do as you see fit. Anyway, it's fine as long as the price is right." Jiang Bai was not ambiguous. He was not the kind of person who dilly-dallied. He agreed immediately. Then, the two of them exchanged some pleasantries and hung up.
Only after hanging up did he realize that the two in front of him were a little confused. Two pairs of eyes …
No, five pairs of eyes!
Including the three drivers, they all looked at Jiang Bai as if they had seen a ghost.
Others might not know what kind of person Jiang Bai was, but they knew very well!
He was a fierce person who could fight dozens of people alone. As for Xu Jie and Ma Zhangyang, they knew even better. Jiang Bai was a genuine martial arts grandmaster. In the whole of Hua Xia, there were less than twenty martial arts grandmasters!
That was a super fierce person who could break a thirty-centimeter tall tree in one move. He was comparable to a humanoid tank!
He was the role model of martial arts, the hero of the martial arts world!
Such a person could actually write a book? And publish it?
Popular?
From the sound of it, many publishers were fighting to get it and were almost beaten to death?
God, are you kidding me? Is today April Fools' Day?
Ma Zhangyang, Xu Jie, and the others instantly felt that their brains were not enough. Or were they hallucinating?
"Cough cough … Big brother, just now, you were … publishing a book?"
In the end, Xu Jie could not hold it in. He picked up the white wine on the table and poured it into a big glass. After drinking it, he asked Jiang Bai in a probing tone.
"Cough … Yes … You have to know that I'm a scholar."
Jiang Bai was slightly embarrassed when he heard this. He also drank a big mouthful and then coughed lightly.
He knew his own situation, but what should he say now?
Should he say that he copied it?
He could only bite the bullet and do it.
This sentence caused the emotions of the people present to fluctuate. They could not calm down for a long time. Other than drinking, they could not say anything else.
No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't understand how the ferocious Jiang Bai from yesterday could be a scholar!
