Rejecting Support (21)

Those messages that kept urging the young master of the Bo family to go to Hong Kong were ultimately intercepted by Wen Xiusen and dealt with.

Due to the wedding preparations, Wen Xiusen was in constant negotiation with second young master Bo, and he did not involve Bo Xiyun in these matters, only instructing the boy to take care of his health.

Bo Xiyun remembered the time when he had gone to the mainland with that man a few days ago.

Although second brother Bo's calls had been relentless after that, he didn't seem to pursue the sudden departure of the two.

Bo Xiyun also mentioned this matter to Wen Xiusen. Wen Xiusen's response was that he would use business matters in the inland to explain.

It seemed that even in his interactions with second young master Bo, Wen Xiusen had not truly been at a disadvantage.

In fact, even the three members of the Bo family had all recognized the benefits that Wen Xiusen could bring.

Bo Xiyun naturally understood that these benefits were more than just the superficial popularity and fame in the entertainment industry, but rather the substantial assets that could stand up to anything.

The advantages that came with being an S-level Alpha were indeed present. After all, top-level Alphas had astonishing physical stamina, far beyond that of ordinary individuals.

The current achievements were mainly due to Wen Xiusen's own efforts.

Bo Xiyun remembered that Wen Xiusen had no background related to finance. He was originally from the inland, his parents had passed away when he was young, and his circumstances were extremely impoverished. He couldn't even afford to pay his school fees, and although he had successfully gained admission to an art college, he ultimately couldn't attend.

The various financial-related knowledge that he had later acquired were primarily learned during the three years he was supported by the young master.

Work in the financial sector often relied on intuition, such as the venture capital industry, which depended on who had good luck and a sharp eye.

This didn't mean that successful individuals in this field didn't need to work hard. Their accurate sense of future trends came from their actual control of industry movements. In fact, this massive input of information was also a physically demanding task.

The young master simply couldn't handle this kind of work. His body couldn't endure it.

But for such work placed on Wen Xiusen's shoulders, he could handle the workload of more than ten people.

In addition to the physical advantages of an S-level Alpha, this was also due to the man's strict and almost terrifying self-discipline.

On this matter, although the young master instinctively appreciated it, he couldn't help but have some reservations.

Because of this, even though Mr. Wen was already so busy with work, he could still find time for other things.

So the proposal made by the teenager(BXY is 19), fearing that Mr. Wen would get tired if he didn't sit on his lap, was ultimately not approved.

Let alone avoiding evening lessons.

In the morning, Wen Xiusen went out for work, and Bo Xiyun didn't go to the hospital. It was a rare moment when he was alone in the study.

Wen Xiusen's assistant came by to pick up something for his boss, and Bo Xiyun chatted with him for a while.

"Wei, did the newly capitalized entity go public in Hong Kong?"

To the young master's questions, Assistant Wei provided honest answers.

This was exactly what Mr. Wen had instructed; they treated the young master as their boss in almost every aspect.

Still, it's the big boss.

As long as it doesn't involve Project A, all other information can be passed on to Bo Xiyun.

Bo Xiyun didn't say much, he just sent the person away after they were done.

However, the assistant who rushed to deliver the package was somewhat surprised when he regained his senses.

Because the information that Bo Xiyun was discussing today was all related to the industry, and the young master had a good understanding of the latest developments, using professional terminology.

Assistant Wei, who had been helping Wen Xiusen with media and public relations in Hong Kong, naturally knew how they evaluated Bo Xiyun over there. However, the way the young master casually mentioned it today was completely different from what was reported.

After delivering the urgent package for Wen Xiusen, assistant Wei headed to the executive assistant's office.

Today, Wen Xiusen had to deal with issues related to film and television contracts, which Wei wasn't responsible for, so there was no need for him to go there now.

Although Wen Xiusen had granted himself a two-month vacation, his work as an artist was not completely suspended. There were still many contracts and scheduling-related matters to be arranged.

In summary, Wen Xiusen's work was mainly divided into two parts. One part was his work as an artist, which was managed by a dedicated management team. The other part was company business. Wei, as the executive assistant, had specialized knowledge, and he was responsible for company matters and Wen Xiusen's daily schedule. Generally, he wouldn't get involved in the boss's specific contracts in the film and entertainment industry.

When his work wasn't too busy, Wei took a trip to the tea room, and as he came out of the tea room, he happened to meet Wen Xiusen's agent.

"Miss Ni."

Wei greeted the person and also saw her. She casually asked, "How is Young Master Bo doing these days?"

Agent Ni Man had just arrived in Shanghai, so she wasn't aware of Bo Xiyun's recent situation.

Wei and the agent had a fairly close relationship, as they had been classmates in their early years, so they chatted for a while.

The tea room wasn't the best place for a conversation, and the agent was preparing to touch up her makeup, so Wei suggested, "We have a full-length mirror in the office next door, why don't we go there?"

Ni Man was busy in front of the mirror, and Wei briefed her on Bo Xiyun's situation. He also casually mentioned the incident from the morning when he was questioned.

"The young master has been busy in the study all morning. I never thought he was so professional."

Then, Wei saw the agent, who looked even more beautiful after touching up her lipstick, giving him an odd look.

"Don't you know?" Ni Man said, "Young Master Bo is the Chairman of Xing Media. He's one of the earliest big shots to invest in entertainment companies in the mainland."

Wei was utterly surprised, "What?"

Ni Man explained, "Including Wen Xiusen's financial team, the people he initially selected were all chosen by Young Master Bo."

She realized that her old classmate had limited knowledge of the entertainment industry, so she briefly introduced the situation.

In Hong Kong, the film and television industry developed much earlier than in the mainland. When related industries started to grow in the mainland, many Hong Kong veterans looked down on their mainland counterparts, considering them decades behind.

Investors in Hong Kong were no different. Even if some of them invested in mainland companies, they only saw these companies as intermediaries for spreading content. They didn't truly study the preferences of mainland audiences. They simply copied the Hong Kong model and treated the mainland as a market to sell to, making the mainland consumers accept whatever they were offered.

Bo Xiyun, on the other hand, was different. He genuinely employed local talent in the mainland, built a company based on the mainland's framework, and it was his down-to-earth attitude that made Xing Media one of the most famous companies in the domestic entertainment industry.

"In the Bo family in Hong Kong, they probably still think that Young Master Bo is only in the entertainment industry to date artists and sleep with celebrities."

The agent sister teased, tousling her fluffy wavy hair.

"Now Xing's market value is more than a hundred billion."

"Besides investments in the entertainment industry, Young Master Bo has money of his own."

Ni Man said.

"Isn't Hanxiang Investments his?"

"What did you say?"

Wei was genuinely stunned this time.

"Han... Hanxiang?"

Hanxiang Investments was a rather legendary investment company in the mainland. In recent years, it had participated in the investment and incubation of many emerging companies in various industries, and it had even been praised as "turning stones into gold" by its most fervent admirers.

However, the identity of the owner behind this investment group had always been mysterious, and Wei couldn't have imagined that it was also owned by Bo Xiyun.

"Right," the agent said, "he also has an investment company in Hong Kong, doesn't he? It's called Shuhuai(Chinese scholar tree). Hanxiangzi(Taoist immortal or deity), Shuhuai, it's pretty obvious."

Only then did Wei realize.

"Shuhuai? Hanxiang?"

"Hanxiangzi·Shuhuai" is a famous ancient poem by a renowned poet from ancient times, and it contains the famous line:

"How many times have I returned, living as a carefree person? Facing a zither, a pot of wine, a river of clouds." [青青河畔草,白白水边柳. 朝来送君暮,暮去寻君不.]

"A river of clouds... Is that the origin of Young Master's name?" [This poem is about the poet's longing for a friend and how they meet at the riverbank]

The agent nodded. "It should be. I've heard Xiumao mention it occasionally."

Wei couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Now he finally understood the strange look the agent had given him earlier.

Crossing industries naturally led to some gaps, and it wasn't until the mention of Shuhuai Investments that Wei truly realized the extent of Bo Xiyun's prowess.

Not to mention the achievements and current scale of Shuhuai Investments, just the fact that someone wanted to invest in a company and construct a complete business was a completely different concept.

The latter was what truly left a distinct mark on people.

Shuhuai Investments was like this, and it was one of the points that the industry loved to discuss.

The most straightforward proof was that even during the recent incident involving Young Master Bo, Shuhuai continued to operate smoothly without obstacles. This was because a well-structured framework had been built in advance, allowing the company to operate so smoothly now.

"How could he be so... amazing?"

Wei even found it somewhat difficult to understand.

Investment companies could be explained by a noble background, after all, the Bo family's assets were there, and Bo Yingcheng had pampered his youngest son so much before.

At least seven or eight years had passed since Young Master Bo had first invested in the mainland's film and television industry.

He was still quite young back then, right?

On this point, even the agent had only heard rumors.

"It seems like he had some help from an elder? He was very young at the time, so he couldn't have done it all by himself."

It seemed that the Bo family's background had indeed provided Young Master Bo with a lot.

Even so, it was already enough to make people amazed.

Wei couldn't help but exclaim, "Indeed, he's from a wealthy family. He's so impressive at such a young age."

Ni Man nodded but added, "However, being from a wealthy family isn't always a good thing. After all, Mr. Xiaotong still maintains that playboy image, right?"

Wei understood that if it were someone else, they might have been crushed by now. Even Mr. Bo is currently facing such a difficult situation.

He unconsciously sighed, "No wonder Mr. Xiaotong doesn't want to be classified as an omega. He's so accomplished in his career, nothing like the typical omega."

Listening to these achievements, it was almost impossible to associate Bo Xiyun with being an omega.

Ni Man raised an eyebrow and said, "What's so different about it?"

Wei hesitated, "I just think that omegas have always had a relatively gentle image, and they're mainly focused on family and raising offspring."

Ni Man smiled and took out a cigarette box. She raised her wrist slightly, and a cigarette elegantly slid out, which she placed between her red lips. Since they were in someone else's office, out of courtesy, she didn't light it.

She bit the thin cigarette and said, "Raising offspring, being a good wife and mother, aren't those still stereotypes?"

Wei found himself at a loss for words, "But omegas are physically weaker and rely on alpha protection..."

As he spoke, he stopped himself.

Ni Man picked up where he left off, "So if Mr. Bo were an alpha, would your first impression of him be that he's strong, or would you still think he couldn't do without omegas?"

Wei found himself speechless.

Ni Man shrugged, "You see, even you think like this."

This statement once again shook Wei. The truth was, even with his good education and moral values, he still considered himself, in terms of salary and social status, to be a modest person at best.

Moreover, Wei is a beta, and he always prided himself on approaching judgments from the most impartial perspective. Even so, he didn't realize this until it was pointed out.

The views he had always held were, in fact, a form of discrimination.

Omegas can't achieve significant success.

Omegas are incomplete without alphas.

Omegas should be cared for.

It was only now that Wei realized that young master Bo's actual situation might be far worse than he had previously imagined.

Because it wasn't just the third brother from the Bo family who was opposing Bo Xiyun.

Even those who thought they were protecting him, looking out for him, and taking care of him with good intentions.

They might all be causing him continuous harm without even realizing it and thinking they were superior.
