Chapter 26 The Rich Family's Surrogate Son 26 A mere 20 million, she really...

Since Shen Qian hired an agency to run Brilliant Agency, he did not personally attend many important events. Therefore, even though Suiyun Entertainment asked around, and even contacted people familiar with Yihai Entertainment, they were unable to find out who the real boss behind the company was.

The agency takes money from people and does things for them. Both parties have a confidentiality agreement and the agency has not disclosed a single word to the outside world.

Fang Yuyun only knew that the copyright was stolen, the partner was poached, and the company suffered a great loss, but he could only sulk and could not find out who the culprit was.

Naturally, she was not convinced. With her personality, she wouldn't be able to sleep well at night unless she found out the mastermind behind this company.

Fang Yuyun asked his assistant to get to the bottom of it, but the assistant looked embarrassed: "Boss Fang, the company's recent financial situation... I suggest you put this matter aside for the time being. I just got the news that the movie "Arson" that our Suiyun Entertainment had previously invested in only grossed 5 million in five days..."

"What!? Why is it so little?" Fang Yuyun was shocked. Suiyun Entertainment didn't invest much in this movie, only 10 million, but the total investment of this movie was 200 million. It only took in 5 million at the box office after five days of release, which could be considered a flop. 10 million was nothing to Suiyun Entertainment in the past, but now it was short of money, and Fang Yuyun was heartbroken to see 10 million go down the drain.

“Not only is the box office poor, the audience ratings are also low. The ratings on Douban and Maoyan are both below 5 points, and the professional film review feedback is not good either. The worst thing is that there is basically no discussion heat, and even if there is, most of the comments are negative…” The assistant’s voice is getting smaller and smaller. At a time when Suiyun Entertainment is so short of money, this is definitely not good news for Mr. Fang.

Fang Yuyun's face looked extremely ugly.

When people are unlucky, even drinking water will get food stuck in their teeth.

She really didn't want to care about the background of the agency that suddenly appeared. The messy things happening at Suiyun Entertainment were giving her a headache.

The investment plan for "Arson" was approved by Fang Yuyun herself, and she did it without telling her husband Fu Suiyi.

Fu Suiyi called shortly afterwards, and the couple had a fierce argument on the phone. Fang Yuyun was still on the show at that time, and the assistant had to temporarily send the cameraman away to prevent the argument from being exposed in the live broadcast room.

However, amidst all the worries, there is also some good news.

Recently, due to Fu Yuanbo's popularity on the show, many variety shows have sent invitations, hoping that Fu Yuanbo can show up on the variety shows. There are flying guests and resident guests. In short, there are many invitations, and even some TV drama scripts also invite Fu Yuanbo to participate.

Although they are all supporting roles, the offers given are not low.

Xinghui Entertainment, where Fu Yuanbo works, originally belonged to Suiyun Entertainment. Xinghui Entertainment can make money, which can also alleviate some urgent needs for Fang Yuyun.

Fang Zhan called and said, "Aunt, these notices are all right, right?"

Fang Yuyun didn't bother to look closely: "I'll pick the one with the highest bid."

"But the high-priced offer conflicts with the current show's schedule, so it's not easy to handle."

Fang Yuyun thought for a moment and said, "The recording of 'Farming with Mom' is almost over. It's fine. Let Fu Yuanbo ask for leave from the production team himself."

Asking for leave is a small matter, and it is not that difficult for the program crew to handle it. Although Fu Yuanbo has a bad temper, he usually won't object as long as Fang Yuyun is brought up.

However, the situation was a little different now. Fang Zhan said hesitantly, "Would his adoptive mother have any objections?"

After all, Fu Yuanbo is now on the show with his adoptive mother.

Fang Yuyun sneered, "Fu Yuanbo is a child of the Fu family. What can that village woman say? Just go ahead and do it. By the way, the contract should still be the same as before."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Fu Yuanbo was working happily when the phone rang. He picked it up and the other party said a few words. The smile on his face gradually froze and disappeared bit by bit.

Shen Qian glanced at him and seemed to sense that something was wrong with his son's mood.

"I'm not going." Fu Yuanbo refused coldly.

I don't know what was said over there.

"I don't care. The show here is still being recorded. I can't take leave to go somewhere else." Fu Yuanbo's cold voice was filled with anger.

Fang Zhan tried to persuade him a few more times, but Fu Yuanbo just hung up the phone.

However, although he refused, his heart was not as determined as he appeared.

He felt a little nervous. His agent had made it very clear that it was his mother who approved the contract, and it was his mother who asked him to ask for leave from the production team to appear on other variety shows. How could his mother let him do such a thing?

Fu Yuanbo was unwilling in his heart, but he still had a hidden worry in his heart. If he didn't go, would his mother vent her anger on his adoptive mother?

It was not easy for his adoptive mother to save up such a fortune, and he didn't want to make things difficult for her.

Fu Yuanbo was worried after hanging up the phone. Chen Qian saw it, but because there were cameras around, she didn't dare to ask too much.

That night, after the recording was finished, Shen Qian finally found an opportunity to ask his son, "Who called you today?"

What she didn't expect was that Fu Yuanbo just lowered his head and remained silent.

"It's okay, you can tell me anything. I hope you won't hide anything from me." Shen Qian advised softly.

Fu Yuanbo was still a little hesitant and didn't know how to start.

"Was it your agency calling? Or was it the Fu family? What did they ask you to do again?" Shen Qian guessed.

My son looked unhappy when he answered the phone, which was probably related to these two sides.

Fu Yuanbo swayed for a moment, but still spoke: "It was my agent Fang Zhan who called. He said he signed me up for a new variety show about celebrities farming, and asked me to go to the recording for three days as a guest."

Chen Qian suddenly remembered that the original book seemed to have mentioned this little episode. In the book, Fu Yuanbo's performance in "Farming with Mom" was not good and he had been scolded by the whole network, but his agency happened to arrange another variety show announcement for him at this time.

Fu Yuanbo was tied down by his contract and had to take a leave to join the variety show. He wanted to leave for a few days to adjust his mood, but he didn't expect that the "Farming with Mom" program crew had arranged flying guests to visit during these three days. Other groups successfully completed the interaction with the flying guests, but the group of Fu Yuanbo and his adoptive mother seemed very embarrassed due to Fu Yuanbo's absence.

Fu Yuanbo's behavior of taking leave to record other variety shows has triggered a wave of boycott from the audience, and his black fans have been scolding him on hot searches one after another.

Shen Qian thought about this part of the original book, and his expression suddenly became a little unhappy: "Is it going to be recorded soon?"

Fu Yuanbo nodded: "Fang Zhan said that he would send a car to pick me up the day after tomorrow, and he will be back in three days."

Shen Qian was speechless: "The day after tomorrow? Has the contract been signed?"

Fu Yuanbo felt uncomfortable, his eyes reddened as he nodded, "Yes."

This kind of thing is nothing new to Fu Yuanbo, and it has happened frequently before.

He had accepted different types of notices before, but Fang Zhan always arranged very unreasonable schedules for him. Sometimes he had to take on another drama halfway through filming one. Sometimes he could only sleep two or three hours a day, and the rest of the time he had to travel around and get tired on the road.

He has long been accustomed to days like this.

But he didn't feel anything was wrong before, until he reunited with his adoptive mother recently and was taken care of by her, and then he realized that he didn't like his previous life at all.

He hates to start something else before finishing one thing, even if he can make more money that way.

However, he knew that he had no choice. He was tied down by the contract with Xinghui Entertainment, which Fang Zhan signed for him. If he did not complete it, the company would lose money and the Fu family would also lose money. Although he was not valued by his mother, he did not want to bring this matter to her face.

He could even imagine how his mother Fang Yuyun would criticize him if she knew about this.

It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

"It's okay, Mom. I will talk to the director about this tomorrow. I will finish the recording as soon as possible..." Fu Yuanbo said dejectedly. He could solve it.

Shen Qian had already made up her mind: "If you don't want to do it, just refuse. Whether it's the Fu family asking you to do it or the agency asking you to do it, if you don't want to do it, just refuse. You don't need to ask for leave in person from the production team, just record as usual."

Fu Yuanbo was stunned. This was the first time he was told that he didn't have to do something he didn't want to do.

"But... my agent said he has already signed a contract with the other party. I guess he has already asked for leave from the production team. If I don't go..."

"Don't worry about the contract. It's not something you should worry about. If you trust me, let me help you solve it." Shen Qian patted his son's shoulder and comforted him, "I told you before that if you want, I will help you terminate your contract with Xinghui Entertainment. So from now on, you can refuse any unreasonable requests they make to you. Anything is fine."

Fu Yuanbo blinked his eyes and was completely dumbfounded. He could refuse those unreasonable requests. He didn't need to worry about anything. As for the contract between him and Xinghui Entertainment, was his adoptive mother willing to cover it for him?

Even the wealthy Fu family was unwilling to care about his life or death. They watched him being dragged down by Xinghui Entertainment and were unwilling to help him. He had originally planned to talk to his mother after the recording of the program, but judging from his mother's attitude, she still didn't want to care about his affairs.

Unexpectedly, the person who stood up for him and told him that she was willing to stand up for him was his adoptive mother!

Fu Yuanbo was not a crying child, but his nose felt sore at this moment and he felt like crying again.

"Mom... I'm afraid I'll get you into trouble."

Shen Qian smiled and said, "Don't worry. Since I dare to tell you this, I must be sure. Send a message to your agent and clearly refuse. I will tell the production team that you will continue the recording as usual."

Fu Yuanbo still felt like he was dreaming. He never thought of resisting: "Really... is it okay?"

Shen Qian smiled again: "It doesn't matter, just turn off your phone and go to sleep after sending the message, don't worry about anything else."

Fu Yuanbo obeyed obediently, sent a message to Fang Zhan, and then turned off his phone.

His head was buzzing and he felt a little excited, but he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had felt someone holding him up. His heart felt warm and he fell asleep while thinking about things.

That night, Fu Yuanbo slept soundly.
