Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards-Chapter 878 - 366: Twist her for me! _2

It wasn’t until he heard that sentence that Su Huai finally understood why Zhang had been hesitating and stammering all along.

Damn, this old guy thinks I have feelings for her?

He’s here trying to confirm my intentions?

"Why do I care what she thinks!"

Su Huai slammed the table and started cursing.

"I don’t need her to do anything!

Me—no, us at Xingyu—our only goal right now is to snatch Tang Ren’s melon!

Sweet or not, I don’t care. You all shouldn’t care either. But we must let the outside world see that Tang Ren has been plucked, and even their key performers have been pulled over to our side!

Putting her there isn’t about me wanting to see her; it’s to show that bunch of pretentious fucks in the entertainment industry. Got it?!"

Zhang wiped the sweat off his forehead, grinning and nodding: "Got it, got it. Intimidation, huh? It’s my lack of understanding causing trouble for you..."

Su Huai raised his hand to point at him: "Stop overthinking pointless nonsense in the future. If I want to sleep with her, do I need you to act as a pimp? Ridiculous!"

After getting yelled at, Zhang actually felt relieved.

"Got it, got it. I’ll definitely pay attention in the future! Should I go handle it now?"

"Go ahead."

Su Huai waved him off coldly: "Since Mr. Cai doesn’t want to play anymore, let’s send her out for good. We’ve got two major projects this year’s second half; it’s about time we give people a heads-up..."

The so-called major projects naturally referred to the talent shows hosted by the two big enterprises.

Zhang now truly understood and knew what he needed to do. Enthusiastically, he went back to work.

Don’t be fooled into thinking he seemed clueless before. When it came to the real deal, his skills were top-level.

First, he reached out to Nazha’s current agent through a friend, got her alone, and cut straight to the chase.

"Convince Nazha to join Xingyu—you name your price."

Shi Li looked troubled: "If I persuade her to join your company at this time, the relationship between us..."

"You’re tasked with handling it—I’ll leave you a way out, naturally."

Zhang’s face was all Su Huai-style coldness: "Once we sign the contract, you two can terminate yours. At Xingyu, you can pick any of our artists—it’s up to you—and directly take the position of Head of Business Operations."

Shi Li was floored on the spot.

Thrilled, she asked: "All of them? Including Yuji and Zhang Dayi..."

"All of them." Zhang nodded, "Their business roles are the easiest, of course—but they don’t earn as much as the newer artists we’re cultivating."

"I understand, I understand!"

Beyond elated, Shi Li agreed to work with him to convince Nazha.

Nazha’s resources at Tang Ren weren’t great, and the overall approach to her career was problematic. Not only did she miss out on good opportunities, but her business ventures were a mess.

Now, she had this chance to move over to Xingyu, where she could pick any artist—or so Shi Li thought—and Shi Li was putting in all her effort.

After testing the waters repeatedly and gauging Nazha’s attitude, Zhang finally managed to get her to agree to meet.

"What’s the matter?"

The stunning beauty showed some icy hostility, keeping people at arm’s length and filled with a bit of resentment.

"Sign with Xingyu, and those haters on your Weibo Super Topics will instantly turn into diehard fans. We’ll bring you to the top of the female artist heat chart. After that, you can perform in whatever you want or even do nothing if you wish, date openly—heck, we’ll guard your reputation for you."

"Sorry, my attitude earlier wasn’t great. What you’re saying is..."

"We don’t currently have any female actors—all the resources in-house are up for grabs. My point is, if you come, you’ll be the top dog. Most crucially, whether it’s Shuang or Shi Zi, no one will ever be able to smear you again in the future."

Nazha didn’t last through the third pitch. She gave in immediately.

Her ambition wasn’t all that high; she was more of a pampered princess at heart and just couldn’t bear being insulted anymore.

The final obstacle, however, lay in the contractual penalties she needed to overcome.

Zhang then approached Cai Yinong, who was already stepping back from operations. His first tactic? A full-on Ba Wang approach: "Hand Nazha over to us—or your Tang Ren artists and productions will face tenfold harsher suppression from us in the future."

What’s the most ruthless thing about Xingyu’s online trolls?

They make it seem like you’re popular, but the engagement is too vague, completely isolating the fan communities and the general public.

Casual viewers won’t feel bad for you; hype accounts won’t touch you; fans won’t defend you; reports to platforms won’t get you banned, and the posts won’t even get deleted.

The longer the trolling persists, the faster the artist’s commercial value collapses.

Mr. Cai wanted to scream profanities. But for Tang Ren’s roster with dozens of artists, only Hu Ge could rely on his national popularity to endure this kind of vicious tactic. The rest wouldn’t survive Xingyu’s "underhanded methods."

And so, they "happily" reached an agreement.

Soon afterward, Nazha joined Xingyu’s newly formed independent branch, Star Sky Film and Television, dropping a bombshell in the industry.

...

After delegating tasks to Zhang, Su Huai didn’t bother much with it anymore. He casually signed off on a 10-person shortlist and handed it to Chen Ru.

Women over 25 on the big list? All taken—all networking powerhouses.

Some of their statuses? Even the big players in Gu might hesitate to approach. Tsk tsk.

For women between 20 and 25, the spectrum was wildly varied. The ones from regular families were all wrapped up in their romances—damn, those sleazy men move fast.

Those who were single? Rich, ambitious—and uninterested in chasing influencer money with public exposure.

Ultimately, only the crowd aged between 17 and 21 had some potential.

After meticulous selection, 10 exquisite beauties were shortlisted—but it remained uncertain how many could actually be signed.

Su Huai’s reasoning was straightforward: two would suffice. Develop them as bloggers. Whether they blew up or not didn’t matter.

Even if they freeload off living expenses for ten years—so what?

They’d just sit around until needed for the occasional big event. Even once a year wasn’t a waste.

The lengths Gou Dongxi was willing to go for Xingyu’s reputation among the broader thirsty male demographic—truly commendable.

...

After wrapping up business, Su Huai planned to visit his "darling daughter" that evening.

She diligently live-streamed until midnight and then opened a second explicit stream.

After the intense physical exertion, both of them were covered in sweat. Gou Huai casually tossed the nearly-gasping girl into the bathtub to clean her up.

The moment he touched her, her stable goodwill level at 100 dropped instantly to 98—and she even gave Su Huai a fierce kick.

"Get lost, you beast!"

"That’s not how you were addressing me just now."

This earned a nasty grin from Gou Huai as he grabbed her foot for another bout of massage.

Foot rubs—they’re universally loved.

While tending to her meticulously, Gou Huai sneakily freeloaded one health point from her metrics—her stats remained untouched, but Su Huai’s profile gained a new entry titled [Overflow Attribute: 1 Point Health].

Ah, could this be transferred to Gu later?

Su Huai felt a pang of guilt inside and decided after maxing out health points for Gu, he’d immediately beef up his darling daughter’s strength scores.

She didn’t need other stats anyway, right?

After teasing each other for a while, she lazily asked, "Jiaqi and Ziqi are gaining popularity quickly. When do you plan to activate the shares allocation process?"

"I’ll talk to Jiaqi first after I return from Mianyang."

"Mhm, Jiaqi can be pretty prideful, but I trust you’ll manage it well."

This was Xingyu’s next significant hurdle in development—shared prosperity.

The overarching framework was indeed set long ago, but executing it now demanded extraordinary leadership and vision.

Here’s the simplest example: new arrivals meant sacrificing the interests of Pei Shuyu and Zhang Dayi.

At Xingyu’s current valuation of $10 billion, giving away even 1% would equal losing $100 million.

It was the same on Cheese’s end: his 5% management bonus was about to transform into shared bonuses for the entire management team.

You’re essentially deducting money from people’s pockets—why assume they’ll willingly accept?

Pei Shuyu didn’t mind because she’d gained too much and earnestly wanted to grow Xingyu together. But others might not share the same sentiment.

Only Su Huai could pull this off, but it was no easy feat. freёwebnoѵel.com

"I’ll make sure to prep Jiaqi and Ziqi, and after Singles’ Day this year, we can come up with a proposal everyone finds acceptable. We’ll take the first step, and the rest can follow a logical progression."

"Mhm."

Pei Shuyu lazily nodded: "Just don’t touch that 20% options pool. Five years later, if we’re struggling, that’s Xingyu’s only bargaining chip..."

"Don’t worry. The toughest one to manage is Jiaqi. As long as he’s on board, Xingyu’s path forward will be smooth!"

Su Huai’s plan was flawless, and just as fate had it, this year marked the final chance to get Li Jiaqi to fully embrace and align with their vision of a flow-pool-powered major platform.

Pei Shuyu squinted her eyes in a brief nap, suddenly inspired: "Since Jiaqi and Sister Yi don’t stream daily, why not gather them in Mianyang? It’ll speed up forming a united front, which will also put my mind at ease sooner."

Su Huai froze momentarily before smiling warmly.

"Alright, we’ll go with your idea. It’s a good suggestion—keep sharing more in the future."

Pei Shuyu snuggled sweetly against Su Huai and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Su Huai returned to the Northeast, picked up Gu, and began his final streamlining of Xingyu operations.
