Chapter 216 - You Jing was always insecure in front of Meng Jie (3)
“No need . ” Meng Jie’s tone was very cold . “I can fight for what I want on my own . Can you move aside now?”
You Jing knew that he had said something wrong, but he was still unable to apologize . He said through gritted teeth, “If you don’t agree to come back to me, I’ll never leave this spot . And… you’ll never get any acting roles! I mean it!”
“Let’s wait and see then . ” Meng Jie knew that he was unreasonable, so she didn’t care about getting into her car . She turned around and started walking away .
“Wait!” You Jing called out to stop her .
Meng Jie turned her head . “Is there something else?”
You Jing looked at her with a burning gaze . His clenched hands were shaking . Under Meng Jie’s gaze, he walked a few steps to the left, giving up his position in front of the car door .
Meng Jie stepped forward, opened the car door, and got in . You Jing continued to stand in front of her car .
After the two had been in a stalemate for a while, Meng Jie lowered her car window . Happiness appeared on You Jing’s face . Just as he was about to speak, Meng Jie furrowed her brow and said, “Move your car away . ”
The smile on You Jing’s face stiffened . Wilting, he entered his car and drove his car forward a short distance . He watched on as Meng Jie drove away, and then he slapped himself .
At the same time, Ye Zhen brought Meng Jie’s endorsement contract to Lu Beichuan . “CEO Lu, here’s a contract . Please look it over . ”
Lu Beichuan flipped through it and nodded . “Thank you for your hard work . ”
“Just doing what I should . It’s not tiring at all . ” Ye Zhen thought it over and cheekily smiled . “Can I borrow some of your time to discuss an investment with you?”
“Investment?” Lu Beichuan smiled . “You finally planned out your investment idea?”
“Didn’t we previously talk about making an investment in the film and television industry? I already have a specific investment target now . ”
“Who?” Lu Beichuan straightened up and seriously looked at her .
“A young, new director’s work . It's sure to be an instant hit . Ning Yang’s Qinhua’s Riverside . ”
“How much for the investment?”
Ye Zhen raised five fingers .
“50 million yuan?”
“Hearts linked as one think alike . ”
Lu Beichuan tried to search through information on Ning Yang on his computer . “You can go to the Investment Department and ask them to evaluate the likelihood of return on this investment budget . If they’re sure…”
Ye Zhen pressed down on his keyboard . Smiling, she said, “This is his first independent produced work . There’s nothing for you to search . ”
Lu Beichuan looked at her with a “Are you serious?” look .
Ye Zhen looked at it from Lu Beichuan’s perspective . If someone asked her to spend 50 million yuan on a director that had no proven success record, her first response would also be to think that person was crazy .
Nowadays, the film industry is in a slump . Only a few movies made more than 100 million yuan . You had to be crazy to spend 50 million yuan on a director that had no success record .
Ye Zhen contemplated for a moment . “At the current price, how much is the the company’s stocks that grandpa gave me worth?”
Lu Beichua thought about it for a little bit . He gave a rough estimate instead of an exact number, “Nine digits . ”
“Nine digits…” Ye Zhen was speechless after counting . “100 million? Several hundreds of million?”
“If you want to know the exact amount, I can have someone calculate it for you, but I think it’ll take some time . ”
“No need . How about this? I’ll pledge all of the shares I have to you and you lend me 50 million yuan? If I don’t make the money back, you can keep the collateral . ”
This was the best possible deal . There was no way that Lu Beichuan would refuse .
“Exchanging 10% of the company’s shares for 50 million yuan . ” Lu Beichuan helplessly laughed . He took out a check from his drawer and handed it to Ye Zhen after he filled it out .
Ye Zhen saw that Lu Beichuan handed her the check without hesitation . Stunned, she didn’t return to her senses for a long time .
“You’re going to give it to me, just like that? You’re not worried that I’ll lose it all?”
For the first time, Ye Zhen felt that money was hot to touch . This check was clearly only a light piece of paper, and yet it felt so heavy in her hand .
This wasn’t 5 thousand yuan or 50 thousand yuan . It was 50 million yuan!
