Chapter 637: Chapter 628: That Name Is Absolutely Off-Limits
The three sisters of Baihua, in terms of ability it goes Shen Yi > Tang Nan > Wen Nanqing, in financial terms it’s Landlady > Shortcut > Minor shareholder, and in driving skills it’s Speeding Widow > Funny Girl > Newbie Female Driver.
Of course, when it comes to fame, Tang Nan naturally surpasses the other two. After all, both Shen Yi and the Landlady are ordinary in terms of notoriety, not even as famous as Big Yellow.
We could say the three of them are quite evenly matched, no need for one to boast over the others, just their focuses are different.
His arrival today really delighted Tang Nan, she’s been quite bored in the capital all by herself.
Originally, she was going to take part in a couple of variety shows or a movie role this year, but with the need for someone to stay in the capital and Shen Yi assigning more responsibility to her, those plans were set aside.
And of course, she was aware that Su Qing was starting a film investment company, and to be honest, she did want to take a role in a film invested by their own people, regardless of profit.
At five in the afternoon, Su Qing was sitting leisurely on the sofa of Shen Yi’s spacious apartment in the capital, chatting on a video call.
Even though Shen Yi doesn’t stay here often, it’s always clean, probably pre-cleaned by someone.
"Where’s Little Tang? Didn’t she pick you up?" Shen Yi asked from the other end of the video call.
"She went out with Su He, you know, that girl has had her eye on Brother Nan for a while now," Su Qing laughed.
The three had just returned from the airport, and Tang Nan was swiftly taken away by Su He, who claimed she wanted to ride the wave of his rumored girlfriend’s popularity—quite outrageous.
Lately, Su He’s been enjoying boundless fame. After her image makeover, she hit the million-follower mark overnight, and her followers have been climbing rapidly, now nearing two million.
In self-media, as long as the direction is right and there’s innovative style, gaining followers is exceptionally easy.
However, even this initial step stumps many, but fortunately, Su He found her way and now has her style.
Nobody expected her style to stem from being flat-chested, yet it was this natural advantage that led her down this inescapable path to be hailed as one of the four major calamities in a matter of days.
The standard for calamities in the short video world has a common trait, which is flirting with girls, whether it’s drawing, photography, or walking dogs, it’s all about charm.
Everyday a different one, in a society where there’s more males than females, isn’t this exactly what constitutes a calamity?
But Su He’s emergence broke the norms; even as a woman, she’s capable of charming others, using herself as a resource while squandering other resources. She’s close to becoming the number one calamity among the four.
The most crucial aspect is unlike others, Su He takes real action. When she says she hugs, she means it, and the girls are especially willing, leaving many male netizens beating their chests wishing they could trade places, as being approached and chatted up by Su He means she must be a beauty.
Hearing this, Shen Yi can’t help but chuckle, she can already imagine the helpless expression on Tang Nan’s face.
Just as they were talking, the living room door opened, and two figures walked in.
"Little Su, you need to manage your sister! Since when did she learn to take advantage of people?"
As soon as Tang Nan walked in, she started complaining, her pretty face still slightly flushed, clearly indicating that Su He hadn’t held back earlier.
Seeing this, Su Qing turned his gaze to Su He, who just laughed awkwardly before noticing he was on a video call and hurried over: "Sister-in-law, I didn’t, I just went out with Brother Nan, but you’re right, Brother Nan is totally swept off his feet by me."
Su Qing: ...
Tang Nan: ...
"Of course, I’ve seen your recent works and they’re really good. It’s no wonder Little Tang was won over by you, keep up the good work!" Shen Yi’s laughter came through.
Tang Nan was so angry that her chest hurt, and after some lively chatter, they got down to business. Su Qing was here with a serious purpose this time.
Company registration, business license, venue, mostly prepared by Tang Nan, leaving the rest needing his personal presence.
He’s expected to be quite busy tomorrow, but thanks to Tang Nan’s prior arrangements, otherwise, just these errands could take several days.
"Little Su’s company front won’t be big, just the size of a studio on my floor, it’s already been cleared out. I’ll have someone accompany him to handle the formalities tomorrow, and it should be done in a few days. Now you two think about what to name the company," Tang Nan said calmly with her arms crossed.
With those words, both Su Qing and Shen Yi paused, neither had considered this issue, but regardless of size, a new company needs a name.
Su Qing wasn’t skilled at naming things, in the whole family, only Old Su had a bit of literary flair, otherwise, he and Su He might have ended up named Su Tiezhu and Su Erniu.
With this, he turned to Shen Yi and asked, "What do you think we should call it, Little Yi?"
Looking at him entrusting the naming rights to her, Shen Yi felt quite pleased; after all, it was a company they were forming together.
After thinking for a while, Shen Yi spoke up: "Since your company is located within our Baihua, naturally it should have a similar name, so that people can tell at a glance that this company is part of our family.
Just take the ’Bai’ from our company, and I hope your company will rise steadily, how about calling it..."
Before she could finish, Tang Nan’s eyes widened in surprise: "Bai Jie? You can’t pick that name, absolutely not!"
Hearing the name, Su Qing also shuddered as if recalling a distant memory awakened within him?
In contrast, Shen Yi and Su He were both bewildered, Bai Jie, isn’t that name perfectly fine? Why can’t it be chosen?
"Is it bad?" Shen Yi asked, puzzled.
Even Su He chimed in: "Yeah, brother, Bai Jie, pure and clean, rising step by step, what a great meaning!"
Su Qing: -_-|||
Great, my foot. He was now thinking of shouting: ’Quick, call the Landlady.’
Because except for the Landlady, nobody can handle this name, certainly not him.
And furthermore, thinking about naming his company this, with all sorts of experienced people emerging, would he not want any dignity then?
At this thought, he looked up and coincidentally met eyes with Tang Nan, and both old-timers immediately peeked into each other’s minds.
Simultaneously, a thought surfaced in their minds: ’Pah! He (she) is definitely not a good person, instantly understanding, seems like they too have read this masterpiece!’
Some things are well known among men, and some women are also aware, evidently, Tang Nan and the Landlady are quite fond of reading.
Shen Yi, on the other hand, hadn’t heard of it, and as for Su He, that work was too distant for her, not knowing is normal.
"Why not call it Bai Wen, Baiwen Entertainment, how does that sound?" Seeing the expressions on her little man and Tang Nan, Shen Yi realized that there was likely a problem with the name she chose. Though she didn’t know why, it didn’t stop her from making a change.
And since Su Qing didn’t explicitly say, it was probably inconvenient, thus she decided to ask in detail tonight.
"Bai Wen, Bai Hua, that’s good, that’s good, let’s go with Bai Wen," Su Qing clapped his hands in agreement, as long as it’s not Bai Jie, he had no objections, it’s just a company name after all, even if it were Black & White, he wouldn’t mind.
With Su Qing’s words, Tang Nan also nodded. Her thoughts aligned with Su Qing’s, in the entertainment industry, any small matter could escalate, Bai Jie as a name was truly unsuitable.
Soon enough, the three agreed on the name, leaving only Su He slightly bewildered.
After some more chatting, Su Qing ordered takeout for a simple meal and only then did Tang Nan leave; since Shen Yi wasn’t around, she didn’t dare stay the night, and Su He, who was supposed to stay with him, shamelessly went along with Tang Nan instead.
At night, Su Qing had just showered and lay down when he received a call from Shen Yi.
"Little Yi, miss me again? Look, I’m sleeping in your room!"
Upon answering, Su Qing spoke, thinking Shen Yi wanted to chat and spend time on the phone.
But the next second, he heard Shen Yi, her pretty face blushing, retort sharply:
"Poo, poo, poo, I found out what Bai Jie is, I didn’t expect you actually look at those kinds of things, and even Little Tang as a woman has no shame. You two, neither of you is a good person!"
Su Qing: ???
Suddenly attacked verbally, he was caught off guard.
"I didn’t, listen to my explan..."
Beep beep beep
