Chapter 363: Chapter 346 Discounts
"Buzz..."
"Buzz..."
Wang Jian sat in his office in Flushing, watching his phone continuously vibrate on the desk.
This had been going on intermittently for about two hours now.
It probably began when he instructed the receptionist not to forward calls from the photo studio...
A minute later, the office finally quieted down.
Wang Jian picked up his phone and raised an eyebrow.
"Missed calls, twenty in total."
Among them, six were from Vera Farmiga and Gisele Bundchen, four were from Ganni Versace.
As for the remaining ten... those were obviously from the freshly appointed associate producer, Mr. Chen Shijun.
He smirked and was about to pocket his phone.
Just then, a strange number appeared on the display.
Wang Jian hesitated but pressed the answer button, "Mr. Wang, I’m the manager at HBO photo studio, calling from the website, Chen..."
Before the person could finish, Chen Shijun’s familiar voice came through the speaker, "Wang, my previous idea was really immature!"
"Streaming sites or whatever, they just aren’t feasible!"
"Mr. Chen, I did quite well just now, so why does the director keep saying ’ng’?" A slightly coquettish, crisp female voice suddenly interrupted.
"Did well? I just said ’ng’ ten times. I should be playing your role!" Another female voice retorted without reserve.
Without a second thought, Wang Jian hung up the phone.
"Ng ten times, and that’s just?!"
He instantly recalled the previous fear dominated by Versace and the supermodels at the studio!
"Working with non-professionals, even if the sponsorship is high, it’s just cocoa powder-coated shit!"
The cocoa powder was gone now; let the inside be left to the delivered Mr. Chen...
At this moment, Wang Jian suddenly felt that compared to those things, writing was much more relaxing.
He sipped his coffee and picked up the outline for "King Arthur."
"Earlier, the power of the Church appeared and was defeated by King Arthur using technological weapons."
"So, following the style of the Medieval Church, assassins from the Inquisition should now take the stage."
For this assassin, Wang Jian planned to introduce Van Helsing, who was well-known in Western legends.
Of course, according to "King Arthur," where the Twelve Knights of the Round Table are all witches,
This werewolf-blood vampire hunter would definitely be a woman disguised as a man.
"But Van Helsing’s muscular image is a bit too deeply ingrained in people’s minds..."
Wang Jian tapped his finger lightly on the desk and finally made a decision.
That was to use the most groundbreaking design from the Barbie doll series.
"Fitness Instructor Barbie... seems to be selling well too," he muttered to himself.
...
In Manhattan, in New York’s most renowned elementary school.
A group of wealthy children was taking an extracurricular reading class.
Naturally, this included Gene, who had safely returned from a kidnapping.
"Gene," a little boy secretly playing with his phone nudged him lightly.
"Is that author Wang, your mom’s boyfriend?"
"Then you must know him quite well." The boy continued to ask, "Do you know when ’King Arthur’ will be updated?"
Hearing this, Gene frowned.
He hadn’t been very aware of the relationship between his mother, Lily, and the kind brother.
But on the day he returned from the kidnapping, Gene saw his mother first cry and embrace him, then emotionally throw herself into the brother’s arms, continuously thanking him.
He made some guesses and couldn’t help but complain to his schoolmates.
But that particular buddy wasn’t trustworthy.
The matter soon spread throughout the school, even reaching some of the older students.
However, what happened next was different from what Gene had expected.
In his previous school, which was said to cater to the middle class, he was ostracized just because his parents were divorced.
But in this elementary school, it seemed everyone was very accepting of such matters.
In fact, he was even more widely accepted by the students.
"My father and mother aren’t married, something about pre-marital property issues," his buddy once said disdainfully. "But that doesn’t stop them from loving me a lot."
"Besides, a few years ago, were the school celebrities, Ivanka and Hilton, living with their biological parents?"
In this school, no one cared about the actual situation of someone’s family members.
What people cared about was the financial status and influence of the guardians!
From that moment, Gene began to vaguely understand all this.
"I read in the newspaper that Wang is dating a Victoria’s Secret supermodel."
When another kid saw that Gene didn’t respond for a long time, they said provocatively, "So don’t ask Gene; his mom is probably the one who got dumped."
"Your mom got dumped!" Gene glanced at the group of isolated kids in the corner.
They were admitted to the school because of their high IQ, not their family situation.
After thinking for a moment, Gene confidently responded, "’King Arthur’ will be updated today!"
Usually, the day after his brother and Aunt Lynn visited, those works would be updated.
Thinking about this pattern he had inadvertently discovered, Gene nodded with confidence.
They had visited his house yesterday!
Hmm?
Something seemed off...
Gene recalled the past when Aunt Lynn used to visit at their home in Brooklyn.
Back then, her visits were not so frequent, and she mostly wore casual clothes.
But lately, she seemed very busy with work, always wearing business attire whenever she visited.
As the seven-year-old boy was trying hard to figure out why,
his friends suddenly whispered in excitement, "It’s really updated!"
"Hmph!" Gene felt very satisfied with the accuracy of his speculation.
But...
None of his friends noticed his proud expression; they all started pulling out their smartphones.
"Wow, the Sword in the Stone has finally appeared; it’s a Mechanical Sword made of gears!"
"Van Helsing turns into a werewolf and battles King Arthur?"
"Revolver and Silver Moon Bloodthirst... It’s so thrilling!"
"This... is that it? After turning Van Helsing back into a human form and finding out she’s a woman, then what?"
"Exactly! What does just staring mean?! Are they going to kill her or not!"
While the kids were having this heated discussion, the teacher suddenly walked in. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Cough cough!" She coughed, and the slightly noisy classroom instantly quieted down.
"Sigh," the teacher thought of the order from the so-called independent investor school board member and sighed softly.
"In the whole school, maybe only these students care about those reference books, which could be a few dollars cheaper," she thought, looking at the group of top-performing students.
"As for these students born with a golden key..." The teacher then turned her head to look at Gene and others, "who would care about those?"
However, since it was an order from the school board, it still had to be announced.
After pondering for a moment, she began, "Our study manuals, not only can they be bought at bookstores."
"Everyone, please go back and tell your parents they can also be purchased online through Amazon, where some discount options will be available."
