After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 644 is progressing well!

Ye Sanqing has been paying attention to the news recently and has indeed seen reports of falling housing prices in some areas.

"Was he just that unlucky to buy into those areas where prices fell?"

"That's true. After he bought it, the property price plummeted by 300,000. Of course, this is calculated based on the size of his apartment; in reality, it dropped by 1,000 per square meter, but..."

"...Is it 300 square meters? Why did he buy such a big house? Is he married? Does he have family living with him?"

"No, he just seems to like such a big house."

"Fine……"

This result was somewhat unexpected, yet also quite reasonable.

Ye Sanqing himself didn't have this problem. Ye Jin'er's uncertain attitude probably meant that he didn't quite understand how much of a blow 300,000 yuan could be to a person.

Especially since this person may have worked hard for a long time to barely afford the down payment.

...This is something that people who bought a phone but haven't finished paying the 24-month installment plan can surely relate to, only to find that the phone's price has dropped.

I just never imagined that houses could sometimes turn out like this.

"In short, it's understandable that he's in a bad mood. But it doesn't seem to have reached the point where he would do something extreme. So I'm wondering if I'm overthinking it. Anyway, I've already arranged for him to audition."

"That's fine then. If the audition goes well, we'll just use him. Of course, if it doesn't work out, we don't have to force it. Although this may sound like a pointless statement, I still have to say it."

"Well, after all, the conditions are just right. Since we're really going to film it, we definitely have to go through this process."

"However, Lu Wangqian is indeed a very troublesome person, so his mental state is probably caused by the accumulation of these unpleasant things."

“I understand. After all, it’s one thing for us to beat him up, but Mo Siyu signed a contract and was afraid of losing his job, so he swallowed his anger. That’s normal.”

"Sigh, can't people like that just go and be reincarnated? Besides, when have you ever hit him? It's always me who's beating him."

“My hands are very precious… Speaking of which, if you have time, I can tell you about Lu Wangqian’s recent situation. You can go take a shower and remove your makeup first; this is a long story.”

"You haven't finished talking about this yet, have you? Okay, I'll go first."

Ye Sanqing quickly removed her makeup, took a shower, and came back. However, this time she didn't wash her hair. Since she was going to have a late-night snack later, she decided to wash it after she finished eating.

"Okay, here I am again."

"Wait a minute, I'm done with this game."

As Ye Jin'er was speaking, Ye Sanqing heard the sound of a game victory coming from the other end and couldn't help but complain, "I thought you were very busy."

"Isn't this just a quick game during spare moments? I'll continue. As for Mo Siyu, he's probably just going through a rough patch due to the economic crisis and being in a bad mood. He's probably having some mental issues right now. Since he's interested in the job opportunity we gave him, this matter should be pretty much over."

"I agree. How is Lu Wangqian?"

"It's a long story..."

Ye Jin'er explained it in as much detail as possible.

He had already received the news from Ye Yifan, and since he was talking to Ye Sanqing about other things today, he might as well do it while she was free.

Otherwise, Ye Sanqing would indeed have little time to listen to this when he's busy.

After arriving in Africa, Lu Wangqian indeed began mining with great enthusiasm.

Such places usually require mercenaries or private armed forces for security, but Lu Wangqian did not hire them through formal channels. Instead, he mobilized his subordinates from South America.

They had placed informants nearby who observed this.

This group has a diverse background, but is predominantly South American.

Then Lu Wangqian seemed to have a rather capable assistant present, a white man.

"This person is quite suspicious; we don't know his name or code name yet. I think we should investigate further."

Ye Jin'er continued, "The mine is real, of course, but there are pits. But this is a series of elaborate schemes."

This mine can be mined, but the ore purity is insufficient and the refining process is difficult, so the final profit will definitely not reach the figures in the plan.

However, you can dig deeper, as there are other mineral veins nearby.

But this part is up to Lu Wangqian's choice. He could choose to contact the Ye family and ask for more investment, and then split the profits among themselves; but he could also choose to keep it a secret and invest his own money.

In that case, all the profits from the neighboring mine would belong to him.

When formulating this plan, they took Lu Wangqian's personality into full consideration, which was that he was stubborn, arrogant and conceited.

He certainly wouldn't give up such immediate benefits to someone else.

With his own armed forces, he now seems to be living a life in Africa similar to that of a minor warlord. He's quite content and doesn't seem to want to leave.

"I heard that as soon as he went abroad, he found a way to bring a group of escort girls to keep him company... I'm really impressed, they're even willing to go to Africa. It's unbelievable that he would do something like that."

"Isn't Ye Wanyin at a disadvantage, only getting involved with her brother? Wouldn't she need to hook up with a whole regiment of men to feel balanced?"

Ye Sanqing smiled.

"But it's strange. Wasn't he very affectionate towards Ye Wanyin? But he acted like this as soon as they went out. It's a bit disgusting."

"Actually, you should be able to tell that he's never stopped having mistresses. I suspect that Mona's feud with him was because of this. It seems that it wasn't her personally, but someone she knew who had this kind of relationship with him."

"I'd completely forgotten about him if you hadn't mentioned him. But since Mona has a grudge against him, wouldn't it be a good idea to lure her there for revenge?"

"It's not that it's impossible, but why should she listen to our orders? After all, it doesn't really benefit her."

"That's true, and besides, he has armed guards, which makes it quite difficult."

How do you know there isn't an undercover agent among that group?

"...It's not impossible, but the risk is too great, so I didn't think about it at the moment."

"Anyway, I'm not surprised he did something like this. But there must be more to this plan."

"Yes, if he doesn't plan to open the mine next door, there's another option: to get him involved in the diamond trade."

"Diamond trading?"

“The diamond trade here has always been chaotic. If he sees a profit to be made, he will definitely get involved. But once he gets involved, it won’t just be a matter between a few armed groups. It may attract the attention of a larger power.”

"So you're just using someone else to do the dirty work? That sounds pretty good."

"Yes, but that's uncertain. He needs to truly experience the extreme profits involved, even more so than when he was selling drugs in South America."

"Where are we now?"

"At this point in time, with the informant's report, he should have almost finished mining the first small mine. He should have discovered that there was a problem with the mine and that it could be connected to the adjacent vein."

"Great, the progress is encouraging."
