Chapter 321 The Luck of the Male and Female Protagonists
Compared to Bai Zhirou's mere retirement from the entertainment industry, Hezhou seems to be facing much bigger troubles.
If the He family hadn't had some wealth, Hezhou would probably be driven to suicide by creditors by now.
Bai Zhirou followed He Zhou to the ward and saw several men surrounding the bed.
The old man of the He family is now barely alive. If it weren't for the help of medical equipment, he would probably have passed away long ago.
The key issue is that Hezhou's father hadn't made a will before, and his illness left Hezhou in a bind.
Now, all the illegitimate children have claimed that they also have inheritance rights. Unless the old man is sober, no one can be sure who should inherit the He family's estate.
The illegitimate children also knew about these things, which is why they stayed here day and night. They were afraid that if they left, Hezhou might let the old man die and forge a will, then the entire estate would belong to Hezhou.
Then a dramatic scene unfolded: those illegitimate sons who had never shown filial piety to the old man were now becoming more and more dutiful than the last.
He Zhou, the upright heir, was instead collectively ostracized by everyone.
The nurses and doctors at the hospital all treated this scene as a joke.
Reporters have even sneaked in to take photos. It's unbelievable that a family like the He family has ended up like this.
Bai Zhirou has nowhere else to go but Hezhou.
Bai Zhirou stayed with Hezhou at the hospital for several days, but the old man ultimately couldn't hold on. Seeing the old man pass away, Hezhou slapped himself several times.
The old man could have lived a long time, but he passed away unexpectedly due to his own reasons.
He Zhou was the old man's most beloved son, and because his mother had helped the old man build the family from scratch, he was the rightful heir of the He family.
Originally, the He family should have continued to prosper under Hezhou's leadership, but in the end, it was Hezhou that sowed the seeds of disaster for the He family.
Hezhou barely managed to help the old man finish the funeral arrangements, and then he would have to go to court against his illegitimate sons.
Since everyone is the old man's biological son, even though Hezhou is the legitimate heir in name, he doesn't have anything more than the others in the absence of a will.
Ultimately, the court ruled that Hezhou, along with his four illegitimate sons, should be divided equally among the five people, each receiving 10% of Shengtang Entertainment's shares. The old house was ultimately awarded to Hezhou.
The four illegitimate children left with smug expressions; they were very happy. Having acquired two percent of Sheng Tang Entertainment's shares for free, they would never have to worry about money again.
Some people had already contacted potential buyers in advance. Based on a market value of 10 billion, 2% of the shares would be equivalent to 200 million in cash, and they promptly sold their shares.
The four illegitimate children quickly transferred all their shares. They didn't care who was actually acquiring Sheng Tang Entertainment's shares; it was just a game of capital.
They've already secured their profits, so even if Sheng Tang Entertainment goes bankrupt tomorrow, it won't affect them.
He Zhou and Bai Zhirou returned to the old house together, which was also the last remaining property of the He family.
Seeing He Zhou's sorrowful face, Bai Zhirou quickly comforted him. Now, He Zhou was her only one, so Bai Zhirou naturally wanted to take care of his feelings.
"He Zhou, you must be strong. You are the only one left in the He family. If you collapse, the He family will truly be finished."
As He Zhou listened to Bai Zhirou's words, a feeling of defiance slowly welled up from the bottom of his heart.
Although Hezhou has relied on his family's support all the way, his success is not solely due to his family.
The entertainment industry is not lacking in rich second-generation heirs, but no one else can become a top star.
"That's right, Zhirou, thank you. I will take back everything from the He family."
Bai Zhirou breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Hezhou had finally returned to normal.
He Zhou also stopped holding shares in Sheng Tang Entertainment, and even paid 30 million more than the price his four illegitimate children were sold for.
Hezhou took the initiative to provide 40 million yuan to help Bai Zhirou resolve her debts, and then used the money to establish an investment company.
Next, in Hezhou, Bai Zhirou began to carefully investigate the market. Once she found a suitable company, she proactively contacted them.
Bai Zhirou from Hezhou is quite capable. Wu Tao has also been sending people to keep an eye on them, watching them look for suitable projects. Every time Hezhou invests in a company, Wu Tao secretly invests as well.
Wu Tao's investments are often twice that of Hezhou.
Wu Tao refused to believe that if the other party could turn their life around through these investments, he would be worse off than them.
It has to be said that Bai Zhirou from Hezhou still has the luck of being the male and female protagonists of this world.
With 190 million yuan in funds, they actually invested in six companies in succession.
The six companies have indeed developed quite well; in just over a year, their valuations have doubled.
In Hezhou, Bai Zhirou happily celebrated at home several times.
If the valuation of a company they invest in doubles, it means their capital has doubled.
If this continues, the He family's billions in assets will soon be back.
Compared to acting, the business world is much more exciting. Bai Zhirou is now actually glad she left the entertainment industry, otherwise she wouldn't have discovered her investment abilities.
He used to be so basking in the glow of being a top celebrity that he never dared to venture out and strive for success.
This PUBG experience has truly unleashed his potential.
Bai Zhirou was secretly pleased. She, an international film queen, was forced to leave the entertainment industry, but she now had a boyfriend like He Zhou, a business elite.
Don't be fooled by Wu Tao's current status as a great painter; when Hezhou truly returns to its former glory, that's something Wu Tao will never achieve in his lifetime.
Bai Zhirou has now gotten used to using Hezhou's strength to prove that her choice was not wrong.
She didn't want to admit she was wrong, nor did she want to accept that she was the one who was abandoned.
Bai Zhirou began to treat Hezhou very well, because she could no longer afford to lose him.
She was never afraid of leaving anyone before; back then, she was strong, confident, and independent. Now, Bai Zhirou has long had her edges smoothed out by life.
Aside from arranging for people to keep an eye on Hezhou and Bai Zhirou, Wu Tao focused on doing his own job well.
Three years have passed since his divorce from Bai Zhirou, and Black Sky Capital, under the leadership of Charlge, has been valued at over one billion US dollars.
The three stocks that Wu Tao initially chose have also doubled in value. He initially invested 40 million yuan, and now the market value has exceeded 300 million yuan.
Haitao International Cultural Exhibition Hall has successfully hosted several major conferences in a row.
Its advanced and comprehensive services have made it a preferred venue for many large enterprises to hold meetings.
Wu Tao's own paintings are now more valuable, and each new painting is quickly bought up.
Wu Tao naturally understood that a top-tier painter should not have too many works circulating outside the studio.
Since he had already achieved financial freedom, Wu Tao intentionally reduced the number of his works after gaining fame.
Even the works that were sold in the past are gradually being brought back, and his technique is now more mature, or rather, he never used mature technique to paint in the first place.
He didn't want to be studied like a monster; painting always requires practice to master.
