Ji Xiaoli's dedication to her career made Ji Changmin the happiest man.
Now that his daughter was finally back after being lost for so long, how could he bear to let her marry those rascals so soon?
With this in mind, Ji Changmin began to set aside some time each day to teach his daughter about the business world, hoping to make her even more immersed in her career.
Ji Xiaoli found this situation a bit amusing, but Ji Changmin was a seasoned businessman with extraordinary knowledge and eloquence. As she listened to his explanations, she benefited greatly.
Although Wei Yanlan thought highly of Zheng Nanfeng, she still believed that the well - being of their family of three was more important.
One day, Ji Changmin casually picked up several company planning proposals to explain to his daughter.
As Ji Xiaoli listened, she felt something was off. "Dad, is the company planning to continue investing in real estate?"
Ji Changmin nodded. "Our Ji Corporation made its fortune from land and resources. Naturally, we should focus more on industrial investments in this area."
Ji Xiaoli had a sudden idea. "Dad, have you ever thought about transforming the company?"
Ji Changmin shook his head. He had considered this question long ago. "Transformation is out of the question. The cakes of various industries have already been divided up. If we transform now, we won't be able to break into the new markets and will have to give up our current share."
Ji Xiaoli disagreed. "Those are the old industries. In today's highly developed society, different emerging industries are booming every day. The cakes of these new industries haven't been fully developed yet."
What she meant was that they could explore the markets of emerging industries to obtain greater profits.
Ji Changmin became interested. "Xiaoli, go on."
Ji Xiaoli had her own insights. She had recently noticed that the entertainment industry and the Internet had huge profit margins.
She organized her thoughts before speaking. "For example, the Internet information industry. Every technological advancement will have a profound impact on society and bring huge profit margins."
After all, technology was the primary productive force.
Ji Changmin somewhat agreed with this point. "However, our company doesn't have such industries."
Ji Xiaoli said without hesitation, "We don't need to start a company ourselves. Instead, we can act like angel investors and invest in some promising technology projects."
Ji Changmin wasn't very convinced. Based on his many years of business experience,
the real economy was the most stable, and the development of industrial companies was relatively steady.
Ji Xiaoli disagreed. "Sitting idle will lead to depletion. Resources will eventually be exhausted. We need to plan ahead and tap into the benefits of current Internet technology early on. We can also get involved in the entertainment industry. After all, people's spiritual needs nowadays far exceed your imagination."
Ji Changmin pondered for a moment. "This..."
Wei Yanlan had listened to the whole conversation. She then persuaded Ji Changmin, "Husband, just listen to our daughter. Xiaoli is our lucky star. Trusting her is always the right thing to do."
Ji Xiaoli also looked at him expectantly.
Under the gazes of his wife and daughter, Ji Changmin gave in. "Then I'll trust Xiaoli."
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoli took out another planning proposal with a smile. "Dad, and this one. I think it's quite reliable to drill for oil in this area. You can give it a try."
Ji Changmin glanced at it. It was the one he had rejected. "No. There's a problem with the location in that planning proposal." In his opinion, it would definitely result in losses.
Wei Yanlan immediately stood up to support her daughter. "You have to trust our daughter. Our daughter is so lucky. What she says must be right!"
Ji Changmin sighed but still nodded.
...
While Ji Xiaoli was receiving guidance from her father, she suddenly received a bunch of invitations.
All these invitations were from the entertainment industry. They covered a wide range of activities, including interviews and variety shows.
This made Ji Xiaoli feel strange. She casually grabbed Sister Chun beside her. "Sister Chun, am I really that famous? Why have I received so many invitations recently?"
She wasn't even in the entertainment industry. This was just too strange.
Sister Chun smiled from ear to ear. "What are you saying, General Manager Ji? If you're not famous, then who is?"
Ji Xiaoli was confused. "Am I really that famous?"
Sister Chun was extremely proud. She took out her phone and opened Weibo. "Of course. You're the legendary master of the hot - search list and already have tens of millions of fans."
She and Brother Xia had been working day and night to create topics and attract fans for Ji Xiaoli. These were the fruits of their hard work!
Ji Xiaoli looked at the phone half - believingly. To her surprise, she really had nearly 20 million fans.
This was even more than the number of fans of an average second - tier star!
Ji Xiaoli was very puzzled. "I remember there were only a few hundred thousand fans before."
Why had the number of fans increased so rapidly?
Sister Chun smiled but said nothing. Since General Manager Ji pretended not to know, she wouldn't spoil the fun.
Everyone understood the matter of creating an online buzz.
...
Ji Xiaoli couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
Her current focus was on her career!
Only her career could make her happy.
Just as she had discussed investing in the entertainment industry with her parents, Ji Xiaoli thought it over and decided to give it a try herself.
She asked Sister Chun to pick out some shows with good reputations and ratings. Ji Xiaoli selected a few that interested her and decided to participate.
One was an interview invitation from the financial channel affiliated with CCTV. The host was funny and humorous, so the show had a high rating.
This interview usually only invited well - known elites from various fields. They invited Ji Xiaoli simply because her investment vision was so accurate.
The stocks she had chosen had all doubled in price, the collectibles she had bought had all increased in value, and the movie she had invested in had broken the box - office record.
After being carefully taught by Ji Changmin these days, Ji Xiaoli had no problem dealing with such an interview.
In addition, there was a prime - time variety show.
This show focused more on testing the contestants' knowledge reserves. Thanks to her extensive knowledge for writing, Ji Xiaoli had more than enough knowledge in this regard. She outperformed the other contestants and gave them an IQ crush.
After these two shows were broadcast, her number of fans increased significantly.
Many fans said, "Our General Manager Ji is so perfect. She's rich, talented, and beautiful. She's simply a goddess!"
For a while, Ji Xiaoli's popularity skyrocketed. Although she was an outsider to the entertainment industry, her popularity was comparable to that of a popular young actress.
Even Sister Chun was shocked. "I've been in the entertainment industry for so many years, but I've never seen anyone like our boss who can gain fans so quickly."
Brother Xia nodded vigorously. "Our General Manager Ji is really extraordinary."
Yuan Fang was a bit dazed. "I've been in General Manager Ji's fan group these days. Their love for her is so genuine. The activity level in the group is amazing."
Sister Chun blew out a puff of smoke. "It's also because our General Manager Ji has good qualities. A small - time star needs promotion, but a big - time star is born with it. General Manager Ji is just born with the potential to be a big star."
Ji Xiaoli had no idea about what Sister Chun was discussing behind her back. She was on her way to the shooting site of a reality show.
