Stuck in a Chinese novel

======

"Set a meeting with these people. Three for different intervals of breakfast. Three with different intervals of lunch and three with different intervals of dinner." Wei Jun instructed Chen Xian. Chen Xian was extremely capable so Wei Jun had decided to make him his secretary until he could find a proper one.

"Very Well, Young Master Ruan." Chen Xian left after a slight bow. As Wei Jun was left alone, his phone rang. On the phone, the name 'Liu Yu' could be seen.

'Again?' Wei Jun thought. His expression could be described with only one word, 'Troublesome.'

Wei Jun canceled the call and went back to work. It wasn't long before his phone rang again but this time, it wasn't his fiancée but his sister, Lin Ruan.

He picked up the call but before he could say anything the other side angrily spoke, "Why haven't you been answering that bit*h's phone?"

'Bitch?' Wei Jun thought and then it clicked, 'I'm impressed.' He was inwardly impressed by Lin Ruan's cussing and replied, "I was busy. I am busy. I will be busy. I don't have time to waste on her."

Lin Ruan was taken aback and asked, "Weren't you following her like a dog? Why the sudden change now?"

Wei Jun didn't reply instead he lamented inwardly, 'Not only was he a waste, he was also a simp. The worst kind that exists.' But there was no use doing so. It was what it was. He replied, "I didn't know why I did that but I realized I was wrong to do that. Anyway, if she bothers you again, just don't pick it up."

"I see." Lin Ruan simply replied before moving on from the topic, "And what is going on at your agency?" Wei Jun simply replied to her inquiry, "Going through a slight change. Nothing else. If you have nothing more to say, then I will hang up."

The call ended and Wei Jun went back to work. Soon Chen Xian entered and informed him of the successful completion of the task. Wei Jun praised him and got back to work.

"Shining Star Entertainment Agency. Quite a long name, don't you think, director Ruan." An extremely beautiful woman spoke as Wei Jun cut into a steak for the ninth time today. Wei Jun didn't reply as he was already fed up with the actors he had to deal with today.

Five of them were small actors who were happy to sign up with him but Wei Jun changed his mind after checking everything. He had been successful in hiring three actors. Two small and one big-time actress. However, this one in front of him was someone he needed to have signed with him.

But there was a problem, there wasn't enough revenue to get her contracted. Wei Jun only had five million in his account out of which, he had already spent 500,000 Yuan on everything. The movie won't be made before the month was up and there was an entire staff to pay. There was an option of asking money from Lin Ruan but Wei Jun wasn't the type to do so.

So, Wei Jun had decided to resort to other things. Offer her something she won't get from anywhere else. But Wei Jun didn't know what she needed or wanted. He had no idea since she was someone who wasn't mentioned in the novel's first volume. Maybe she wasn't in any of them. But she was a known actress and her skills were extremely good.

"Wouldn't it be true if I do have shining stars in my agency?" Wei Jun replied with a question that didn't need to be answered.

"True." Song Li replied before she added, "But I don't think you have what it takes to make a contract with me. Not to mention that I already am in a contract with another agency."

"Your contract is about to expire. And as for whether I have what you need or not, don't come to a decision so soon about that." Wei Jun literally had everything. He just didn't have money to get that.

That's right. After going through the shop thoroughly, Wei Jun found heaven-grade cultivation techniques however, their prices were as follows.

[Buddha's cultivation technique: 10,000,000 gold]

[Phoenix's rage cultivation technique: 50,000,000 gold]

[Dragon's blood cultivation technique: 100,000,000 gold]

To purchase the last one, he needed ten billion Yuan. As of right now, Wei Jun couldn't even dream of that. It was a relief that the system had ensured him that he could change his cultivation technique whenever he wanted to.

Meaning, that he could begin with a cheap low rate one that barely increased his cultivation, and then go for the better and more expensive ones when he would have enough money for them.

So in essence, he had everything he needed. Even things that were found in dreams were found in the shop. Affording them, however, was a completely different story.

"You're quite well informed." Song Li said, referring to her contract expiration before she added, "But maybe you don't have what I need."

Wei Jun didn't reply. He simply opened the shop and searched for something. It wasn't expensive. Only one thousand gold. He bought it which brought his gold down to 2890.

[Yongcheng pills (Temp) x10: 1000 gold]

[Description: A magical pill that makes you younger temporarily. A cheap alternative for those who cannot afford pills with a permanent effect.

The effect only lasts six hours. There is no cool-down to taking the pills. The pills can be taken in succession. The pill would only make one about ten years younger. The facial settlement will bring slight pain.]
