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!
