Chapter 383: Please Help Me, Brother Yuan
He refused?
Liu Qingcheng felt like she couldn’t breathe!
Liu Qingcheng was frantic. ’He must not know what Huangyu Media is worth! I have to remind him!’
Liu Qingcheng quickly shot Lin Ruoxi a look, signaling for her to persuade Cheng Yuan. He had to accept the Lan Club and Huangyu Media!
If Cheng Yuan became the third-largest shareholder of the Lan Club and the boss of Huangyu Media, then given her relationship with Lin Ruoxi, she could ride their coattails to success!
Unfortunately, just like Cheng Yuan, Lin Ruoxi was completely unmoved.
Liu Qingcheng was going crazy. She whispered in Lin Ruoxi’s ear, "Ruoxi, you might not know what the Lan Club and Huangyu Media are worth. The Lan Club is valued at twenty billion, and Huangyu Media is valued at thirty billion! You need to take this seriously!!"
Lin Ruoxi shrugged calmly. "Qingcheng, don’t get so worked up. It’s only a few tens of billions. Cheng Yuan can make that back in a year."
Only... a few tens of billions?
Mr. Cheng can make that back in a year?
Lin Ruoxi was telling the absolute truth. Given Yuanxi Pharmaceutical’s growth trajectory, fifty billion a year wasn’t a difficult target.
However, to Liu Qingcheng, it sounded like something out of a fantasy!
But Liu Qingcheng was just an outsider. Once Lin Ruoxi made up her mind, there was nothing she could do!
"Ruoxi, you! Ugh!"
Han Zhonghu wasn’t at all surprised by Cheng Yuan’s refusal. With Cheng Yuan’s current status, money was just a bunch of numbers.
Han Zhonghu said with great sincerity, "Brother Yuan, I’ve decided to leave the entertainment industry and join Dragon Flame. I’m going to focus on martial arts to protect our country! I’ll only be at ease if the shares of the Lan Club and Huangyu Media are in the hands of one of our own. Please, Brother Yuan, help me out!"
The corners of Cheng Yuan’s mouth turned up slightly. ’This Han Zhonghu... he’s framed it so nobly. It would be rude to refuse now.’
Cheng Yuan looked at Lin Ruoxi with a questioning gaze. "Honey, are you interested in the entertainment industry?"
Lin Ruoxi was about to refuse, but Liu Qingcheng was blinking at her nonstop from the side. Plus, her own Lin Family’s Huanyu Group included Huanya Film and Television.
’If we acquire the Lan Club and Huangyu Media, we should be able to crush Huanya Film and Television, right?’
Lin Ruoxi nodded slightly. "To be honest, a media company is part of my plans. It’s one of the future territories for our Yuanxi business empire."
Only then did Cheng Yuan reluctantly nod, accepting this favor from Han Zhonghu.
"Zhonghu, I’m only doing this for you. If it were anyone else, I would never agree to help."
God knows, Cheng Yuan was telling the absolute truth. With his current status and the money-making power of Yuanxi Pharmaceutical, creating a media company would be beyond easy.
His favors, on the other hand, were the most valuable things he had to offer.
Han Zhonghu was ecstatic. He had finally latched onto Cheng Yuan’s powerful coattails!
However, Liu Qingcheng didn’t understand any of this. She thought Cheng Yuan was just playing hard to get after landing a huge bargain.
Liu Qingcheng giggled. "Hahaha, Brother-in-law, you clearly got the better end of the deal! I’m almost embarrassed for you, hearing you say that!"
Brother-in-law??
Cheng Yuan was taken aback.
Lin Ruoxi explained, "Qingcheng and Manwen were my best friends in college. We once jokingly imitated the Oath of the Peach Garden. I’m two months older than Qingcheng, so I’m technically her ’older sister’."
Cheng Yuan nodded slightly. Lin Ruoxi had run away from home and sought refuge with Shen Manwen, which showed just how close they were.
’In that case, should I promote Liu Qingcheng?’
’But before promoting her, I need to understand her character.’
Cheng Yuan’s tone turned slightly serious as he questioned her. "Miss Liu, don’t be in such a hurry to call me brother-in-law. You should know what kind of person Wang Jing is. Why did you bring Ruoxi to see him? Is this how you treat your ’sister’?"
Liu Qingcheng’s expression changed, and she quickly explained, "Brother-in-law, I really didn’t know Wang Jing was that kind of person! Sister Ruoxi was planning to go to Gongti by herself, and you know how she is with alcohol. I was worried someone would take advantage of her, so I brought her to Wang Jing’s birthday party instead."
Cheng Yuan’s expression softened slightly.
Lin Ruoxi jumped in to explain, "Cheng Yuan, don’t be so harsh! Qingcheng would never mean me any harm! When Wang Jing was about to harass me, she even offered to take my place."
Cheng Yuan raised his eyebrows. A smile finally appeared on his face as he grudgingly accepted Liu Qingcheng as his ’little sister-in-law’.
"It seems I misunderstood Qingcheng."
Liu Qingcheng finally let out a sigh of relief. Cheng Yuan’s aura was so intense that for a moment, he had almost scared the piss out of her!
Han Zhonghu said in a deep voice, "Brother Yuan, the share transfer agreements are ready. Please take a look."
Cheng Yuan took the agreements and began to look them over.
Liu Qingcheng’s stomach rumbled. She said, a little embarrassed, "Brother-in-law, after all this commotion, I’m getting a bit hungry. Sister Ruoxi and I are going to go get something to eat."
Cheng Yuan nodded slightly. "Go ahead."
Liu Qingcheng pulled Lin Ruoxi and headed out.
Private Room No. 9 was now in complete chaos!
Just a moment ago, Young Master Han had burst into the inner suite with his men!
Everyone had assumed that Director Wang had offered the two women to Young Master Han as a tribute and that his career was about to skyrocket!
But in the blink of an eye, Director Wang was dragged out by Young Master Han’s men like a dead dog!
The security guards were dragged out along with him.
Instantly, everyone was terrified!
This was especially true for Wang Jing’s cronies and the actresses he had made famous. They were all afraid of being implicated with him.
Chen Xiaotong looked at Tang Yifei in confusion. "Sister Yifei, you’re the most connected one here. You’re always dining with top young masters! Can you find out how Director Wang offended Young Master Han? Why was he dragged out like a dead dog?"
Tang Yifei felt an immense headache coming on. ’Where would I get the connections to meet top young masters? It was all just bragging!’
’This Chen Xiaotong really knows how to put me on the spot.’
Of course, Tang Yifei wasn’t about to lose face in front of her "sisters." She put on an act as if she had everything under control.
"What else could it be? It’s definitely because of Liu Qingcheng and that bitch named Lin Ruoxi! They must have failed to ’serve’ Young Master Han properly and pissed him off! Director Wang was just caught in the crossfire!"
The other women all showed expressions of dawning realization!
"If Director Wang was punished so severely just for being associated with them, isn’t that bitch Lin Ruoxi completely screwed?"
"She provoked Young Master Han! She’s definitely going to die a horrible death! They’ll probably run a train on her! Serves her right!!"
Suddenly, an actress pointed toward the inner suite. "Look! Isn’t that Liu Qingcheng and Lin Ruoxi? How did they get out?"
Liu Qingcheng was starving and was pulling Lin Ruoxi along at a quick pace. They looked a bit disheveled, and the women instantly assumed they were escaping for their lives.
Tang Yifei shouted, "Those two bitches offended Young Master Han! Don’t let them get away! Catch them, and Young Master Han will reward you handsomely!"
Chen Xiaotong’s nose had been ruined by Lin Ruoxi, and she hated her to the bone!
Chen Xiaotong pointed at Lin Ruoxi and screamed, "Sisters, don’t even think about getting in my way with this bitch! I’m going to rip her face to shreds myself!!"
With that, Chen Xiaotong was the first to charge forward. She pointed at Lin Ruoxi’s nose and cursed, "You jinx! You broke my nose, you got Director Wang in trouble, and you offended Young Master Han! As long as I, Chen Xiaotong, am here, don’t even think about escaping the Lan Club today!!"
