My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 320: Get Stronger by Taking Medicine

"You should know that the normal cashback rate is only 10 times, and 15 times is outright a half more."

Especially this time, the fixed assets withdrawn are no small amount, close to three hundred million.

An extra half is an additional 150 million!

Chen Yan’s total net worth was just over twenty billion. 150 million—that’s five percent of his net worth, a pure gain!

Thus, he was all smiles in an instant.

At that moment, a confirmation page also popped up on his phone screen.

"Congratulations to the player for obtaining 15 times the return on fixed assets, with a total asset value of 44805 million!"

Looking at the prompt that appeared on his phone screen, Chen Yan waved his arm, feeling pretty good about it.

After all, getting the maximum cashback rate was an incredibly lucky event.

Gazing upon the hefty value of these fixed assets, Chen Yan began to ponder what to choose this time...

There were five main categories of fixed assets: real estate, vehicles, books, cultural relics, and jewelry.

Chen Yan had chosen from the other categories before but felt that none compared to the value of properties.

Especially when Chen Yan was still in the "primary accumulation" phase, real estate value was not only more "solid" but also more convenient for liquidity and mortgage compared to other fixed assets.

So, after a moment’s hesitation, Chen Yan decided: This time, let’s just go all-in on real estate!

With that thought, he clicked on the prompt on the screen.

Instantly, another prompt popped up before him,

"Please choose the type of fixed assets for return."

Following this prompt, the five options appeared before Chen Yan.

He clicked on "Real Estate."

"Matching fixed assets in progress, please wait..."

The matching of fixed assets took a bit longer this time; Chen Yan waited a full five minutes before the phone screen suddenly flickered and two cards appeared.

"Two cards?" Chen Yan was momentarily puzzled.

With his previous experiences, he knew that one card represented one fixed asset.

Having just two now meant that this time’s 450 million matched just two properties, which was a bit surprising to Chen Yan.

He clicked on the two cards to take a look.

The first card looked somewhat familiar by the image, and the name was even more familiar to Chen Yan: Qin Island Fenghua Building.

Eh...

Isn’t this the very building his company was currently in?

Could it be... he had matched this building again?

With that thought, Chen Yan glanced at the contents of the card.

Qin Island Fenghua Building, 14th-16th floors.

Total value: 84 million.

Chen Yan did some quick calculations. Three floors for 84 million appeared to be a 20% discount compared to the last two floors he bought.

It was unclear whether the system had decreased its valuation or if the "repeat customer" had received a "discounted price."

However, Chen Yan still remembered from the initial research that the owner of the building, Fenghua Company, was struggling with their capital turnover. Hence, they had no choice but to sell their headquarters.

Now it seemed that they were still not over the crisis and continued to sell their properties.

Maybe their difficulties had grown, forcing them to slash prices for a quick sale?

Chen Yan stroked his chin, analyzing the situation and feeling it was very likely.

Furthermore, he began to calculate.

If based on the current price, Chen Yan could buy the whole Fenghua Building for just over three billion more.

This was after all, one of the landmark buildings on Qin Island.

For a moment, Chen Yan felt it was truly worth considering, as good opportunities like this were rare.

Moreover, his group was growing and needed a headquarters.

While pondering, Chen Yan looked at the second card.

It was clearly an office building.

But this building was not tall, with only five stories.

Then, upon seeing the address, Chen Yan was a bit surprised because it was in the highly coveted Tiandu.

Property prices in Tiandu were incomparable to those on Qin Island, starting at five times higher. Hence, this building was particularly expensive.

A mere five stories took up the rest of his balance, costing Chen Yan 364 million.

This was even a slightly offset office building—if it was closer to the Third Ring Road, the price would probably be even higher.

Nevertheless... this did solve Song Chuang’s issue of setting up an office in Tiandu.

An office building with five floors, thousands of square meters of office space, was more than enough for him to confidently expand his team.

Song Chuang wouldn’t envy the treatment of Qin Island’s headquarters every day anymore.

It was unclear whether it was the sellers being in a rush to unload these two fixed assets, or if the system became faster after a minor upgrade, but whereas previously withdrawing a property took a couple of weeks, this time it would only take three days to complete.

This made Chen Yan look forward to what would happen in three days.

After withdrawing the fixed assets, Chen Yan was about to close his phone when a prompt popped up: New items are available in your store.

"Eh? The store updated?"

"This time, it’s quite quick."

Curious, Chen Yan clicked in to check and found the store had few items, only two kinds of potions listed as "Fixed": Professional Talent Potion and Constitution Potion.

However, these two potions had not been refreshed in large quantities. There were only one of each.

Chen Yan, of course, couldn’t have too many of the potions that could enhance his physical constitution and Lu Man’s acting skills.

So he didn’t hesitate to clean out the store, hoarding the two potions.

The Professional Talent Potion was temporarily stored in the safebox. Chen Yan planned to feed it to Lu Man in a few days to further enhance her acting potential.

As for the Constitution Potion, he downed it in one go.

Perhaps because he had five potions the last time, drinking one this time didn’t feel very intense to Chen Yan.

He just felt a warmth in his body that, after ten minutes, gradually dissipated.

After the effects of the potion subsided, Chen Yan lifted his clothing to inspect his body, noting his muscles seemed a bit more pronounced, yet still streamlined. Unless tensed, they weren’t visibly different from before.

The most significant change was probably the abs.

What was once four-pack had faintly turned into a six-pack, albeit lightly defined; probably one more Constitution Potion would solidify it completely.

Even so, the enhancement to his constitution was quite evident.

Chen Yan found these potions to be far more useful than the martial arts practice with Brother Ying.

If Zhao Ying knew that all his hard work on his body was less effective than Chen Yan drinking a single potion, Chen Yan thought she might start questioning her life choices...

After work, back at home, Chen Yan sat in his house, with his computer on, logged into several WeChat burner accounts, lurking in entertainment industry groups, monitoring the public opinion shifts due to Chenlu Film’s blacklisting of Xu Brothers Film Company.

According to Yang Rou’s plan, tonight’s events were actually very unsophisticated.

At 6 PM, Chenlu Film would issue a blacklisting notice in the industry, barring all projects and celebrities under Xu Brothers Film Company.

Moreover, accusing Xu Brothers of malicious monopoly of industry resources, wanton blacklisting, and poaching from other companies, they called for other companies to join in the blacklist.

Upon the issuance of this edict, given the size difference between Chenlu Film and Xu Brothers, most in the industry would likely ridicule it, even treat it as a joke to be spread.

But it didn’t matter, as that was the very effect Yang Rou was after.

Only in this way, would the press conference at 8 PM turn everything around, then follow the plan step-by-step, little by little demolishing Xu Brothers entirely.

Even when Yang Rou’s trump card was revealed, obliterating Xu Brothers once and for all, it would shock everyone in the industry.

At 6 PM, as planned, Lu Man officially, on behalf of Chenlu Film, released the blacklist order to the industry.

The ban included Xu Brothers Film Company, all their projects, celebrity signings, and refused any practitioner cooperating with Xu Brothers from participating in any Chenlu Film projects.

Lu Man’s status was not to be underestimated. Not only was she graced with the crown of Best Actress, she had just become a first-tier celebrity, drawing attention with every move.

When such a person suddenly declares a ban on a company, usually the industry would give some show of respect.

But... it depends on who they are blacklisting.

That was Xu Brothers Film Company.

With a market value of several billions, firmly established in the entertainment industry for decades, holding numerous copyrights, and a multitude of celebrities under their banner, this towering giant had nearly half the entertainment industry in its shade.

How could Lu Man possibly enforce a ban?

So, as Chen Yan and Yang Rou expected, the industry began to circulate and mock Lu Man’s folly, with various WeChat groups discussing her blacklist order.

"Has Lu Man gone mad? Just got Best Actress and already too full of herself to blacklist Xu Brothers Film Company?"

"Yeah, even if she sets out on her own, she’s just a celebrity. Xu Brothers is one of the top companies in the industry!"

"Don’t understand, don’t understand."

That was the general private sentiment.

Of course, some people, considering Lu Man’s recent Best Actress award and the lavish celebration banquet held on Qin Island that invited many companies, speculated there might be some conspiracy.

But this theory didn’t gain acceptance from others, who dismissed it as conspiracy thinking.

Most still believed Lu Man was getting ahead of herself, holding grudges from Xu Brothers’ previous blacklists of her, and thus attempting reprisal.

This led most people to view Lu Man’s blacklist as ineffective.

Even Xu Brothers paid it no mind.

But everything changed past 8 PM...

At 8 PM, Chenlu Film, having already scheduled with some familiar media, held a small-scale press conference at Qin Island Eastern Film City...
