Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 397: Out of Moves, Let It Go—It’s Not Luck, It’s Skill

Although he said he was envious and jealous, the next day Xiao He still eagerly took the initiative to contact them, inquiring about collaboration and investment matters.

Since Sister Liu said that this President Huang was someone with sharp eyes and a knack for investment, the projects he recommended should presumably be profitable.

Moreover, President Huangʼs ultimate goal was to revive his sonʼs company, so the project itself shouldnʼt have major issues, at least not too much of a pitfall, with President Huang able to cover any bottom line.

Thus, the person who finally discussed the project in detail was Lin Cheng, and the person responsible for the project after signing was Old Ma.

It was also because he handed the project over to Ma Qianyou that Xiao He finally remembered why he saw a familiar shadow in President Huang.

—Metaphysics!

President Huang had beads and jade pendants, and carried a somewhat familiar fragrance on him... Xiao He had discovered similar things on Ma Qianyou!

”President Huang is much more superstitious than I am!”

Ma Qianyou said in surprise.

”Ever since his son turned out to be useless—ahem, his son isnʼt quite suited to inherit the family business, heʼs been wanting to defy fate and change destiny, spending huge sums seeking a son. Itʼs just a pity he injured his body early on, so even in vitro fertilization was useless. In the end, he could only pin his hopes on his son suddenly gaining enlightenment, even seeking out metaphysics masters, burning incense and worshipping Buddha every day. As for the final result...”
Xiao He: ”...The result was finding there was no way?”

”The result was he accepted his fate.”

Ma Qianyou said with a touch of pity.

”Now President Huang only hopes Huang Junhao can have a child soon, so he can bring the child to his side and educate them personally.”

Xiao He: ...Well, he really could only accept his fate then.

Attempting to start a side account failed, seeing the main account was almost beyond saving, in the end he could only hope the main account would leave something behind for him to strive for anew.

Is this the so-called ʼwhen you possess something, you are destined to lose somethingʼ?

Recalling President Huang now, Xiao He inexplicably felt the other often had a somewhat bitter look on his face... ahem, probably not his illusion.

”However, I believe President Huangʼs family will soon have a change of fortune!”

Suddenly, Ma Qianyouʼs voice on the phone rose sharply.

”With you here, Xiao Xiao! Those unlucky things definitely wonʼt come again! In the future, perhaps even more people will come to you for collaboration and investment, Xiao Xiao, your financial fortune from now on is unstoppable!”

Xiao He: ”Huh? Me?”

”You donʼt know?” Ma Qianyou was still somewhat astonished. ”You have good judgment, every project is a hit, the matter of your heaven-defying luck changing the fate of production teams, we in the circle have all paid some attention. Your luck is good, Iʼm really not just saying that casually.”

Otherwise, he wouldnʼt truly regard Xiao He as a benefactor, always following in Xiao Heʼs footsteps!

And honestly, itʼs really amazing. Ever since Ma Qianyou followed Linghui Entertainmentʼs investments, he finally successfully shed his title of ”Investment Stinker of the Domestic Entertainment Industry”!

So Ma Qianyou... ahem, couldnʼt help but brag extensively within the circle, which at the time also attracted many industry competitors to watch.

In the end, after everyone followed up with analysis, they discovered Xiao He really does have some metaphysics about him!

And people in this circle... really believe in these things!

Xiao He: ”...”

You investors, staring at these things all day? What about believing in science?!

Xiao He fell silent for a moment, carefully recalling, only to find—it seems, perhaps, roughly, the performance of most works he participated in... was pretty good?

Effective participation roles, thatʼs really not just talk.

No exaggeration at all, all backed by actual results.

Though Xiao He himself definitely wouldnʼt admit it.

That kind of persona canʼt be casually established. What if it collapses one day, wouldnʼt he be mocked to death?

Moreover, if it spreads widely and people really believe it, secretly following his investments, or even snatching roles and resources heʼs already secured, then heʼd really have nowhere to cry.

Luck, when you canʼt protect it yourself, shouting it out loud doesnʼt work so well.

Xiao He still prefers to develop secretly.

So Xiao He took a deep breath and earnestly made his request to Ma Qianyou: ”In the future, donʼt say those things in public.”

”Huh?”

Ma Qianyou was silent for a moment on the other end, then immediately understood, ”Oh oh, I get it, I get it, President Xiao, donʼt worry, hehe.”

Hehe what! Do you really get it!!!

After hanging up the phone, Xiao He sat dazedly in his office chair, blankly staring at the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him. After a long while, he somewhat frantically grabbed his hair: ”Ah, how did Old Ma lead me astray, making me really believe I have good luck on my side!”

How ridiculous! His lottery draws always hit the maximum guarantee, wherever he goes he encounters cases, how could he possibly possess heaven-defying good luck?!

Itʼs just that every time he chooses a script, he and Liu Rulan are relatively cautious, understanding things quite thoroughly, and never take on trashy dramas, cherishing their reputation!

Whether a script is good or bad, in many cases, can be seen at a glance!

As for why there are still so many bad dramas... ehehe.

Thinking he had actually started worrying anxiously just now, fearing heʼd be targeted because of his good luck, Xiao He himself wanted to laugh.

Since things have come to this, to prove heʼs still that unlucky guy and sober himself up, Xiao He opened the lottery interface.

After the last lottery draw, Xiao He directly returned to square one overnight, his points basically all cleared.

Fortunately, the broadcast of ”Corner Also” provided him with sustained heat, and this heat continuously drew people into Xiao Heʼs fandom, digging into his past works. So during this period, Xiao Heʼs points started soaring upwards again.

Look, in the blink of an eye, he had over ten draws again...

Xiao He reached out his hand, hesitantly hovering over the lottery interface, pondering the next targeted lottery content.

Honestly, the only downside of targeting is ”poverty limiting his imagination.”

Xiao He really didnʼt know what he might need from this prize pool—but then, what could he possibly lack now?

Just as Xiao He was hesitating uncertainly, with a ”bang,” the office door was pushed open.

Startled, Xiao Heʼs hand trembled, subconsciously closing the interface and withdrawing his hand.

”Brother Xiao! Brother Xiao! Thereʼs great news!”

Xiao Chen rushed in excitedly and said.

”What is it?”

Xiao He picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip. ”Next time, knock before entering.”

Xiao Chen scratched his head, then somewhat sheepishly grinned: ”Sorry, Brother Xiao.”

”Just tell me whatʼs up first.”

Xiao He calmly changed the subject.

”Oh, okay. Itʼs about your birthday party this year, Brother Xiao, weʼve already arranged it! Itʼs set in your hometown, making it convenient for your family to come watch live!”

Then he looked at Xiao He with great anticipation and asked: ”How about it, Brother Xiao? Happy? Excited? As for the ticket pricing and general theme direction for the birthday party, does Brother Xiao have any ideas?”

Xiao He blurted out: ”Birthday party?”

Then he slapped his forehead: ”Oh right, I almost forgot about that!”

Come to think of it, arranged this way, he could go home to accompany his parents this Spring Festival!

Thinking this, Xiao He immediately sat up straight: ”Tickets donʼt matter, free is fine. Let me call home first.”

This is the first time since entering the entertainment industry that heʼll be going home for Spring Festival!

This good news needs to be told to the family in advance!
