Chapter 605 Wen Qingyi Discovers She Has Been Acquired
She's part of the company, after all. How could she, as an artist in the company, know nothing about such a big thing?
Is this reasonable?
Gong Lian was surprised that she found out so quickly. His expression stiffened for a moment before he spoke calmly, "I haven't had a chance to tell you about what happened a few days ago, and you've already come."
If she hadn't come to the company in person today, this matter would have remained a secret.
After all, his arch-rival had acquired the distribution rights to all the films he had invested in this year, and Bo Jinyan had also acquired the company's artist management department.
This is not something to be proud of, especially given that Wen Qingyi still harbors feelings for Bo Jinyan.
He was even more unwilling to let her know about it.
"Oh? Really? What a coincidence?" Wen Qingyi didn't believe him at all. She walked straight up to him and asked, "Gong Lian, we've been together for quite some time now. If you're not even willing to give me this much trust, how can we continue being together?"
As his bedmate, how could Wen Qingyi not tell the difference between his truth and his lies?
What she didn't understand was what he was keeping from her.
Why are you still hesitating to say it?
Upon hearing this, Gong Lian narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"
What do you mean by not even being willing to give her this much trust? How can they be together?
Does she want to break up with him?
"What will happen to my management contract after the company's artist management department was canceled?" This was what Wen Qingyi cared about most: "I just went to the 11th floor, and my colleague there said that my management contract has been transferred to a new company."
"Tell me honestly, which new company did you transfer to?"
She didn't care about Gong Lian's business dealings; she only cared about her future career and whether it would be as smooth and carefree as before.
She would absolutely not agree to switch to a new company if it hindered her career.
Seeing that she didn't intend to break up with him, Gong Lian breathed a sigh of relief and kept reassuring her, "Don't worry, although the company's artist management department has been canceled, you can still have a smooth career as before."
"The company can still provide you with film and television resources, it's just that the agency contract isn't with our company."
The cancellation of the artist management department was a last resort for him.
There was no other way; Bo Jinyan acquired all of his film distribution rights, along with the company's artist management department, transferring all of his artists' management contracts to Anding Group.
All these changes came too suddenly and were completely unexpected. Before he could explain them to Wen Qingyi, she had already discovered them first.
"Who are you trying to fool?" Wen Qingyi didn't believe his flimsy explanation at all: "Your agency contract isn't even with our company anymore, how can you expect me to believe you can continue to provide me with film and television resources?"
"Tell me, did something happen? I don't know."
Gong Lian subconsciously explained, "No..."
"You're still lying! Which company did my management contract actually go to?" Wen Qingyi coldly questioned, "As an artist, can't I even know this much?"
At the very least, let her know which company she's under contract with, right?
This would also allow her to reclaim her agency contract.
His hesitant and evasive manner left her feeling uncertain.
How could she believe him?
Gong Lian closed his eyes, steeled his heart, and said, "Fine, I'll talk. I'll tell you everything. Since you're so eager to die knowing the truth, I'll grant your wish."
"Do you remember when I bribed Wang Wenyuan to take the blame for you? It was because I helped you bribe Wang Wenyuan that Bo Jinyan found out, and Bo Jinyan forced me to sign the copyright transfer contract."
"For 80 million, they acquired the distribution rights to all the films I invested in this year, and also acquired our company's artist management department. All the management contracts of the artists under their management have been transferred to Anding Group."
As he spoke, Gong Lian leaned down, his eyes red-rimmed, and asked her, "Is this the whole truth? Are you satisfied?"
For her, he did almost everything he could and couldn't do.
All this was so that she could stay by his side.
He started from scratch and worked his way up to where he is today. He has never felt so frustrated before, not even during the most difficult period of starting his business.
But for Yiyi, he did it willingly.
AnDing Group?
Has her agency contract been transferred to Anding Group?
Does that mean that her sugar daddy has changed from Gong Lian to Bo Jinyan?
Is this her chance to get back together with Brother Ayan?
When Wen Qingyi thought of this, her heart was beating faster than ever before, but on the surface she still comforted him: "Gong Lian, doesn't that mean all your investments this year have gone down the drain because of me?"
It's equivalent to working for nothing for a year.
The money and effort lost in this process cannot be compensated by a mere 80 million.
As an artist, she knows how insignificant 80 million is in the film industry. Apart from art films, many films may not even reach the investment threshold.
However, because of her, he sold the distribution rights to all the films he owned at a very low price.
Gong Lian hasn't been a film investor for very long; he only started doing film investment business this year after his business shifted from the gray area to the legitimate one.
Therefore, the films that Bo Jinyan acquired should be all the film resources he had.
"Yes, and he'd be working for someone else for free." Gong Lian gritted his teeth in hatred at the thought of Bo Jinyan: "Would you still want someone like me?"
The reason he hadn't dared to tell her was because he was afraid she would despise him for it.
He's met so many women, and he knows they all admire strength.
No woman would like such an incompetent man.
She was no exception.
Wen Qingyi smiled gently, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at him: "Of course I'm willing. You are my fiancé. No matter what you become, I will always be by your side and will never leave you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Lian reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly, so tightly that there was no gap, and his heart was pounding very fast.
"Yiyi, thank you for not disliking me." Gong Lian sniffed, his eyes reddening with emotion. "Thank you."
He always thought that women were attracted to strength.
Unexpectedly, Yi Yi was so kind; she didn't look down on his helplessness and was willing to stay by his side.
This proves that he did not misjudge the person.
Wen Qingyi was surprised to be hugged by him. She was stunned for a moment before she gradually hugged him back.
How could she possibly dislike him?
Not only did they not look down on him, they also thanked him, thanking him for selling his agency contract to Anding Group.
In this way, she took another step closer to Bo Jinyan.
