Rebirth: Spoiling the Obsessive Film Emperor

Yin Chengjue’s past life was a complete joke.

The star he personally groomed not only betrayed him but twisted the knife when his company was on the brink of collapse.

Reborn, he vowed ...

Chapter 8 Dispute

Since his rebirth, Yin Chengjue has not visited Feng Chengda, for he fears that he might lose control and cut Feng Chengda down to the ground, which would be a greater loss than gain.

However, even though Yin Chengjue didn't confront Feng Chengda, Feng Chengda wouldn't miss any opportunity to scold his son. So one day, Feng Chengda called and reprimanded Yin Chengjue for sitting in the position of general manager of Huansheng Entertainment Company, yet not knowing how to manage affairs and lacking ambition.

One phone call, and he ranted for a whole hour; Yin Chengjue was impressed by the man's lung capacity.

Looking back now, I realize that from childhood to adulthood, Feng Chengda never spoke to me kindly, always embodying the image of a strict father.

Regardless of whether Yin Chengjue was right or wrong, Feng Chengda always had a reason to criticize him.

“Feng Chengda, are those gossiping people your sons or me? You won’t even listen to my explanation, you just listen to what others have told you? You’re quite the domineering father, aren’t you?” Yin Chengjue interrupted Feng Chengda.

Although Yin Chengjue was unreliable at this age, he still respected his father. Later, he was scolded too harshly by Feng Chengda at work, which made him gradually rebel and go against Feng Chengda.

So this was the first time Feng Chengda had heard Yin Chengjue argue back, and he was immediately furious: "Fine! You think you're all grown up now! You dare to talk back to me?"

Yin Chengjue: "You insulted me for no reason, so I can't refute you? Huansheng is under the Yin family, but I also have shares in the Yin family. I can manage it however I want, and how much I make or lose is none of your business."

"You!" Feng Chengda's voice trembled with anger. "Yin Chengjue! Do you know who you're talking to?!"

Yin Chengjue scoffed, "I know, but you're talking about official business, not personal matters. We should keep public and private matters separate. I said Huansheng is under my jurisdiction now, so please stop interfering. What's wrong with that?"

“And another thing.” Yin Chengjue’s eyes darkened slightly: “You’ve reminded me. It seems there are still a lot of unruly guys in Huansheng who are turning against us. Don’t worry, I’ll work hard and manage things properly, and kick out those clueless guys.”

"Yin Chengjue! You..."

Yin Chengjue hung up the phone decisively and slammed his fist against the wall.

He had held back for a long time before he managed not to swear at Feng Chengda.

If Yin He hadn't yet resolved the divorce, if the illegitimate child and Ming Qian weren't still waiting for Feng Chengda to break them up, and if Feng Chengda didn't have so many connections within the Yin family, Yin Chengjue would really want to sever his father-son relationship with Feng Chengda.

Yin Chengjue asked his assistant Guan to submit a complete list of all the staff at Huansheng Entertainment, which he currently managed, including the list of signed artists. Then, based on his memory, he drew out the names of some people.

These people were all people who resigned and went to join Feng Chengda after he left the Yin family in his previous life.

Among them were several popular artists who had been heavily promoted by Huansheng Entertainment, who also paid huge sums of money in breach of contract fees and happily ran to the entertainment company established by the illegitimate child—Ming Qian was one of them.

Or rather, it was Mingqian who persuaded those artists to go with him.

It can be said that Yin Chengjue misjudged Ming Qian; she was not a pure and innocent little white flower, but a venomous snake who repaid kindness with enmity.

Mingqian had calculated things very clearly. If it was just him who breached the contract and went to another company, he would definitely be met with a barrage of criticism. But if a group of people breached the contract and went to other companies, then people would be unable to help but speculate whether Huansheng had done something shady to the artists, which would make them willing to pay high breach of contract fees to collectively break their contracts.

Although those things haven't happened yet, and some of the popular artists ten years from now are just unknown figures now, Yin Chengjue still decided to write them down on the blacklist so that the company would have some options when allocating resources in the future.

"Knock, knock, knock." The knocking interrupted Yin Chengjue's thoughts. He stuffed the checkmarked list into a folder before saying, "Come in."

Assistant Guan pushed open the door and entered, holding a large stack of documents: "President Yin, these are the files that need your signature."

Yin Chengjue casually flipped through the documents and pulled out a few: "This artist, I won't sign him. This one, I won't sign him either. And this one, don't ask me why. Go check their dark history yourself. Huansheng has just been handed over to me. It's not like it's become a junkyard, stuffing all sorts of unwanted stuff into my hands. Who was the person who audited this? Tell him to come here."
