Chapter 160 - Somoeone Finally Sees How Good Chen Yi Is!
Fu Jianguo was worried at first. But he sighed in relief at this development. Then smiling as Director Song and Chen Ying exchanged words, he thought.
That was good too. Chen Ying could extend her sphere of influence. If this Director Song became interested in her, he would keep her in mind while planning a big production in the future.
However, his smile froze when the conversation steered to a particular topic.
"Oh right, your investment in 'Dawn of Eternal Bloodlust' won't go unreturned. Right, that was the production I came to discuss with CEO Fu."
"Investment?" Fu Jianguo revealed his shock.
"You didn't know?" Director Song asked before explaining. "The funds were transferred from CEO Fu official account so I assumed you had the knowledge. Actually, your fiancee looked through this whole process. At that time, we were low on funds but now that we received a billion worth of investment, your investment is not pivotal to the development. Even then we would appreciate you as our first big investment."
When Fu Jianguo heard 'billions' his head went blank. This production Director Song cam for was undoubtedly big. With that amount of money, any production could turn big.
He stared at Chen Ying, finding her shocked speechless. There was a thread of fear in her eyes.
"Director Song, may I ask... Which artiste you have hired?"
"Chen Yi... If I'm not mistaken she would be your cousin-in-law? Surprising that you don't know." Director Song said before going explaining the production, its potential and occasionally praising Chen Yi for tackling such a complex character so efficiently.
As he prattled on, Fu Jianguo had long since fallen silent.
The more he explained, the uglier Chen Ying expression became.
From his talks, it was clear that Director Song was insistent on taking in Chen Yi. Even if Fu Jianguo created problems, Director Song would still take Chen Yi without his consent. And it could happen and was most likely to happen since Chen Yi's contract didn't need anyone's permission.
Not only that, but Chen Ying also realized the potential and extent of this production. If this went half as good as Director Song believed it to be, Chen Yi would be the next big thing.
By the time Director Song left, both Chen Ying and Fu Jianguo expressions were difficult to fathom.
"Don't you think you have something to explain?" So much happened behind his back, it was expected for Fu Jianguo to be unhappy.
"Brother Jianguo, it happened all of sudden. It was originally supposed to be Zhao Hua when I made that investment. That Chen Yi, she really, I don't know how she managed to sway Director Song."
If it was in the past, Fu Jinguo would have thought up to this on his own without Chen Ying incitement. But who was Director Song? He wasn't an easy character. How could Chen Yi have used underhand tactics to sway him? It was impossible.
"Quit making excuses. Do you think I don't know how that Qin Chanpu loves to hang around with you? How many times I have told you to keep your distance from him, he is someone of questionable character." The words implied that he believe in this mess, there had to be Chen Ying involvement.
Fu Jianguo did not want to see Chen Yi climb up. She wasn't someone who had her heart with Fu Entertainment. There was no use promoting such a person. If she made it big one day, she would come back and bite them. Even though the commission from this production was going to be temptingly high...
But there was another thing that worried him endlessly. Recently, his grandfather had criticized his lack of performance as the head.
"I'll pull back the investment." When Chen Ying proposed all of sudden, surprisingly Fu Jianguo objected. "No, don't do that."
He knew the money that was put would come back 10 times. When it was Director Song who took the reins, there was no suspicion about this. With this there was at least something would have to show for.
"Brother Jianguo..." Chen Ying looked heartbroken.
The pity evoking expression fell cold on Fu Jianguo face. "Chen Ying, it seems I have given you too much of a free hand. You run amok in the company, going around doing as your wish. I'm tired of cleaning the mess after you. Even if I want to spoil you, I have a responsibility to look after as the head of the company."
Chen Ying fell silent.
With how Director Song had endlessly praised Chen Yi, Fu Jianguo could think this much that not all of it must not be a fabrication. That is to say... that Chen Yi did indeed have some talent in her. For the first time, Fu Jianguo saw her in a new light. "I have decided, I won't stop Chen Yi from taking this role."
Even if it was only for the sake of showing it to his grandfather.
...
Chen Ying was bitterly disappointed. However, she did not try to stop Fu Jianguo.
It was useless.
Even if Fu Jianguo did intend to stop Chen Yi, what could he do against her? He did not know about the bogus contract. With Chen Ying insistence against Chen Yi, the only thing that would happen was this. Fu Jianguo would learn of this contract.
When he asked around, he would ultimately get to Chen Ying as the culprit behind all this.
He would only be further angry at her for forcing Shen Yue to sign such a contract.
"Chen Ying listen to me. There's no way around this situation. I have already thought long and hard. We had a similar situation during Su Xiuying time. Just do as I suggest."
Chen Ying had already realized this much after having a conversation with Fu Jianguo. Her means were exhausted. It wasn't going to be easy to deal with Chen Yi.
"Then what do you suggest?" She asked, defeated.
A flare of benevolence fitted across Qin Chanpu face before he explained his plan.
By the time he finished, Chen Ying expression improved significantly. In the end, she even laughed.. "If this works Brother Qin and settles that bitch once and for all, I'll forever be in your debt."
