"I agree," Lu Jinnian answered, not hesitating to be straight forward.
"Mr. Lu, you must know what ten percent share of Huan Ying Entertainment represents? Its investors would have a say in future productions, is that correct?" Song Xiangsi calmly asked.
"Correct." Lu Jinnian still did not hesitate in the slightest.
"And you do know that you only own fifty five percent of the shares in Huan Ying Entertainment, right? If you sell the ten percent to me, Huan Ying Entertainment could change its CEO. You've spent so many years building this company. Are you sure you don't want to think this through?"
Lu Jinnian' brows creased as he thought that Song Xiangsi was a little annoying. "Why are you talking so much nonsense? One word, do you agree or not!"
Song Xiangsi was dazed by Lu Jinnian's unblinking eyes. After a long while, she then raised her bottle and continued to take a drink. She opened her mouth to speak, but this time without the theatrics. "Lu Jinnian, as far as I remember, we've known each other for many years now. From when you first entered the entertainment industry till now, you have never asked anyone for help."
Lu Jinnian didn't utter a word.
Song Xiangsi lowered her head and chuckled. "I remember the first time I met you, there was a boss of a coal company who wanted to be your sugar daddy. You didn't agree to it, so he used his position as an investor to make your life hell. During filming, they clearly agreed to fake the fight scene, but when it came down to filming, they hit you hard, one strike after another, till they put you in bed for over half a month.
"Even then, I saw how much pride you had. I thought to myself, what on earth could ever make this arrogant person bow his head. Who would of thought, for her, you'd be willing to give it up, and for her, you'd go ask others for help. You could even give away Huan Ying Entertainment, the company you've built up to this scale. Lu Jinnian, I never could have seen it coming. As cold-blooded as you are, when you get heated, you can be so domineering..."
His act having been seen through, Lu Jinnian's face appeared slightly uncomfortable. As he opened his mouth to speak, he sounded slightly strained. "Song Xiangsi, your nonsense is just extraordinary."
Lu Jinnian then opened the car door and got out.
"Alright, alright!" Song Xiangsi called out to stop Lu Jinnian. "I don't want shares in Huan Ying Entertainment, nor will I ask anything from you. I just need you to answer my question. Answer me honestly. If you give me a satisfying answer, I'll help you."
Lu Jinnian sat back in his seat. "What's the question?"
Song Xiangsi raised her hand. "First of all, I have to clarify that I'm not interested in you in the slightest, nor do I like you. I have someone I like. I'm just curious, that's the only reason I'm asking you this question."
