Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 554: Chapter 553, The Lion’s Big Mouth

Looking at the cold and stunningly beautiful woman in front of him, exuding an imposing aura,

Tao Jianhua suddenly felt a near-suffocating delusion.

Even though he controlled an entertainment empire,

Even though he was a well-known figure in Great Xia and was on the wealth rankings,

He could not bear the aura this woman emitted.

Even though he had thought of many apologies before coming,

He now did not know how to begin.

”Let me be clear, I really hate bullying!” Ye Qingxin’s voice sounded: ”If your company obtained the film adaptation rights of ’My Healing Life’ by legitimate means, then I have nothing to say.”

”But your company acquired the film adaptation rights of ’My Healing Life’ under the identity of Xiangyanghua, and this displeases me a bit.”

”Obviously, there is no relationship between us, we’re not even acquainted, so why did you sign that novel under the identity of Xiangyanghua?”

”You even asked us for a ten billion copyright transfer fee?”

Tao Jianhua shivered, his face full of unease: ”Miss Ye, I did not know about this matter.”

Ye Qingxin smiled, ”Do you think not knowing absolves you of all responsibility?”

Tao Jianhua angrily looked at Wang Hai, gritting his teeth: ”You bastard, you actually obtained the film adaptation rights of that novel under the name of Xiangyanghua?”

Earlier, when Wang Hai mentioned this, he was a bit puzzled, as the popularity of ’My Healing Life’ was too high, so ten million was not in line with its current popularity.

But he did not think too much about it, his mind was filled with the upcoming movie release.

Now, he discovered he was deceived by Wang Hai.

Seeing the boss angry, Wang Hai felt a strong sense of unease and quickly said, ”Boss, I was wrong, I was truly wrong, blame me for being blinded by money, I shouldn’t have pretended to be Mr. Xiangyanghua.”

”I’ll settle accounts with you later!” Tao Jianhua snorted angrily, then nervously looked at Ye Qingxin, saying, ”Miss Ye, this matter is certainly our company’s mistake. To show our apology, we are willing to give you the film adaptation rights of ’My Healing Life’ for free. I hope you can overlook a fool’s mistake!”

Ye Qingxin’s lips curved into a subtle, intriguing smile: ”Does President Tao think we don’t have that ten million?”

Tao Jianhua was speechless.

Xiangyanghua generously rewarded ’My Healing Life’ with a billion, which meant that such people could easily afford that amount as pocket change.

Ye Qingxin said, ”Besides returning the film adaptation rights of ’My Healing Life,’ I have one more condition!”

Tao Jianhua said, ”Please, tell me.”

”I want fifteen percent of your company’s original shares!” Ye Qingxin made a bold demand, openly displaying her ambition.

Hiss!

Tao Jianhua drew in a sharp breath, clearly not expecting Ye Qingxin to have such ambition, knowing that fifteen percent of the original shares were very valuable.

Given the current stock price, it was worth over a hundred billion.

He looked troubled and said, ”Miss Ye, this is a significant matter. Though I am the chairman of the company, I need to discuss it with the company’s shareholders.”

Ye Qingxin said, ”You don’t need to tell me the process; all I want is the result!” With that, she slowly stood up and added, ”Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. I hope President Tao can give me a reply soon!” Then she turned around, leaving the conference room in her high heels.

”Miss Ye, please wait!” Tao Jianhua ultimately called out to Ye Qingxin, his face pale: ”As per your earlier request, I’ll give you fifteen percent of the original shares!”

Tao Jianhua’s heart bled profusely.

But.

He had no other choice but to agree to Ye Qingxin’s terms.

He knew that this lunar month didn’t have thirty days, and tomorrow night was New Year’s Eve.

If they really had to hold a shareholders’ meeting, there wouldn’t be enough time.

He had no choice but to agree to give her fifteen percent of the original shares on his own accord.

Fortunately, he held fifty-one percent of the shares, so even after giving Ye Qingxin fifteen percent, he remained the largest shareholder of the company and could retain his position as chairman.

Ye Qingxin acted very composed, as if everything was within her plans, so she had people retrieve the prepared contract.

After signing and fingerprinting, Ye Qingxin obtained fifteen percent of Huayu Entertainment’s original shares.

”Pleasure doing business!” She smiled sweetly and then left the sight of Tao Jianhua with a crisp, pleasant sound of her high heels.

Tao Jianhua sat there for a long time, then forlornly left Ruyi Huafu Hotel.

Just as he reached downstairs, his phone rang again, displaying a call from Director Wu.

Tao Jianhua guessed the purpose of Director Wu’s call but still pretended to be relaxed: ”Good evening, Director Wu!”

Director Wu apologized: ”Sorry, President Tao, I mistakenly read the document issued earlier today. The film’s delayed release was not your company’s ’Kung Fu King’ but a web drama called ’King of Kung Fu!’”

”I sincerely apologize for my mistake, and I hope it doesn’t affect your mood, President Tao!”

Tao Jianhua chuckled and said, ”Not at all, not at all.”

After a few pleasantries, they hung up the phone.

Tao Jianhua felt a deep sense of powerlessness; he had been navigating the film industry for many years and believed he had some connections with the broadcasting authority.

But it now seemed that his prideful connections meant nothing to some people.

Thinking about giving away fifteen percent of the original shares, he suddenly felt life was bleak.

But then he thought again.

Giving away fifteen percent of the original shares not only ensured his movie’s timely release but also connected him with a highly influential figure. So, in a way, wasn’t it a blessing in disguise?

The next day.

After breakfast, Xu Wendong called his cousin Xu Wenjian, and as expected, they were preparing to paste Spring Festival couplets, with a large group of people gathering, radiating a festive atmosphere.

He then made video calls to his other close friends, and after all the hustle, it was already noon.

After noon,

Ruyi Huafu became lively.

One luxury car after another with out-of-town plates stopped at the entrance, letting out all sorts of figures.

Xu Wendong felt a bit excited.

He knew.

The competition of The Outer Eight Sects was about to begin.

It’s just...

Not knowing the content of the competition made him a bit anxious.

Indeed.

If the competition was just purely about strength, Xu Wendong feared no one. With his current strength, no one in the martial world could defeat him.

To put it bluntly, he could crush the entire martial world with one hand, let alone The Outer Eight Sects.

But what if the competition wasn’t about strength?
