63 Chapter 63
◎Opportunity◎
The other party continued, "If you can persuade Ms. Zhang Li, there will definitely be no problem with Yu Feiyu..."
Mr. He had no idea that just a few minutes before he called, Chen Zhensheng had completely offended Ms. Zhang Li.
After the other party hung up the phone, Chen Zhensheng just wanted to slap himself a few times.
But a group of uninformed shareholders nearby were still asking, "Mr. Chen, what suggestions did Mr. He make?"
Chen Zhensheng's cheeks trembled and he opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't say what Mr. He said.
Although he does things to any end, he is very good at reading people's expressions when facing people of high status.
In fact, he was trying to get Mr. He's personal contact information only after he had carefully flattered him.
Mr. He's attitude towards Zhang Li can be seen from his words.
Ms. Zhang Li, Ms. Zhang Li...
Mr. He always calls Zhang Li like this, but he just now dared to say that Zhang Li is "not even worthy of carrying his shoes."
It was obvious that the attitude of the receptionist and the security guard explained the problem, but he was stupid enough to compare the past with the present.
He was silent for a while, and finally blurted out, "Let's contact them quickly to see if there's anyone willing to buy it."
Does this mean you're giving up on the company completely?
If I sell the company now, what will the price be?
Everyone, including the five artists, turned pale.
Artists face an uncertain future. They're bound to be sold off as a unit of their company. If they end up in the hands of a new, unscrupulous company, they might even lose their right to eat at the table.
The shareholders calculated how much they had lost since leaving Lingman, and it turned out to be tens of millions...
But they don’t know that what will make them cry is still to come.
-
After having the security personnel kick out Chen Zhensheng and the others, Cheng Yu's face was still filled with anger.
"This guy surnamed Chen is really tired of living!"
I thought the other party would be more smart after a few setbacks, but I didn't expect him to still flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.
Did he know who he was facing? How dare he bark like a dog?
Zhang Li didn't say anything at the time, but after entering the elevator, he called Wu Heng directly.
"Let it be known that anyone who intends to acquire Tianqi Media is opposing Wancheng, and Wancheng will retaliate against them."
Zhang Li had never used her power to bully others like this before, which showed that Chen Zhensheng had really stepped on her minefield.
Cheng Yu pursed her lips, foreseeing the fate of Chen Zhensheng and others.
What she didn't know was that Zhang Li had no intention of getting involved with this kind of person, but Chen Zhensheng's silly attitude this time made her recall the time when he left Lingman.
There is no such thing as a third time. Zhang Li will never give Chen Zhensheng a third chance to dance in front of her.
Chen Zhensheng and the others standing outside Lingman didn't realize they were about to face disaster. They weren't about to lose a lot, but lose all their capital.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Li completely put the matter aside.
The Chinese New Year will be here in two days.
Since winning the Hundred News Awards, many film crews have offered her scripts, but most of these scripts will not be filmed until after the New Year. Zhang Li could have relaxed before the New Year, but the "script plan" and "variety show plan" launched by the Past Studio attracted countless people in the industry.
Yu Feiyu was already very busy and kept urging her to go back to the company to help him.
When he was the big boss, Yu Feiyu didn't dare to say much when doing hard work. Now that he is working half for Zhang Li, he finally has the chance to complain about being tired.
Zhang Li also knew that one should not exploit others too much, so he came here to show respect.
Compared to Yu Feiyu, she is even more efficient.
Although other senior executives can assist, Yu Feiyu still dares not delegate many things that require the president to do personally to others.
Seeing Zhang Li's efficiency, he felt both sad and relieved.
Cheng Yu also had a lot of things to do, and the three of them were busy all day, so they still had lunch in the office.
When it was time to get off work in the evening, Yu Feiyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"I've been working overtime until after midnight these days, and today I can finally take a day off!"
"Let's go! To thank Mr. Li for his help, I'll treat you and Sister Yu to a meal!"
Zhang Li agreed without hesitation. After all, although Yu Feiyu could be considered to be working for her, she was doing this work for him on a voluntary basis.
Cheng Yu would not refuse even more.
The three of them went down together and discussed some issues in the meantime.
"The company's performance this year is very good. We originally planned to hold a proper annual meeting and give two days of holiday early, but the departments are too busy right now, so we can only postpone the annual meeting until after the New Year. We will have holiday tomorrow, but I have tripled my bonus."
"Okay." Zhang Li nodded in agreement, then looked at Cheng Yu.
"Sister Cheng, did the G family contact you recently?"
Cheng Yu: “Yes.”
Zhang Li: "This time, let them give more gifts. Half will be used as welfare before the holiday, and the other half will be used for the lucky draw at the annual meeting after the New Year."
Cheng Yu knew that she was not empty talk when she said to give more, so she grinned and nodded.
Yu Feiyu blurted out directly: "Boss is so generous!!"
However, the three of them didn't notice that the elevator just stopped and opened, and several administrative staff came out of the elevator next to them and passed by them.
This sarcastic remark instantly reached the ears of several sharp-eared people.
They looked at each other, then quickly reacted and smiled.
"Boss Yu, Boss Cheng, Boss Li."
They usually call Zhang Li 'Sister Li' or 'Miss Zhang Li', but when she is with Yu Feiyu and the others, they call her 'President Li'.
The three of them didn't notice their unusual behavior and just nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Several people respectfully let the three go first and slowed down their pace at the same time.
After making sure that the three of them couldn't hear it, several people gathered their heads together.
"Just now I thought I heard Mr. Yu call Miss Zhang Li 'the boss is generous'?"
"That's right! I heard it too!!"
"Why would Mr. Yu call Mr. Li magnanimous?"
"Is it just banter like we usually do?"
"That's not right. How serious is Mr. Yu usually?"
"But when he was facing Sister Cheng and Miss Zhang Li, he seemed quite relaxed..."
When this reason came out, everyone felt that it seemed to make some sense. Although they didn't dwell on it anymore, it inevitably left a trace in their hearts.
-
Zhang Li didn't know yet that because of Yu Feiyu's words, his identity was almost exposed.
As the end of the year approaches, many restaurants in City A are entering a hot sales mode, even membership-based restaurants are no exception.
Fortunately, Yu Feiyu's current status is very important. Not only has he become a big shot in the entire industry who can shake the domestic entertainment industry with just a stomp of his feet, but even the restaurant owners are very respectful to him.
While others still needed to make reservations several days in advance, Yu Feiyu simply revealed his identity and booked a table at an extremely hidden restaurant in the morning.
The three of them had just walked to the restaurant door chatting and laughing, and before they could ring the doorbell, the door was opened from the inside.
When they saw the person who opened the door, they were all stunned at the same time.
Liu Qingran inside must have deliberately removed her disguise after entering, revealing her delicate face to them without reservation.
Cheng Yu knew about the relationship between Liu Qingran and Zhang Li, and immediately frowned.
Yu Feiyu didn't have any special reaction.
Zhang Li was also indifferent and just glanced at Liu Qingran.
Although Zhang Li was wearing a hat and a mask, Liu Qingran recognized him at a glance.
After a moment of hesitation, she realized that Zhang Li and the others should also be here for dinner.
For some reason, Liu Qingran felt a little uneasy when facing Zhang Li. She subconsciously took a step back to make room for them to enter.
Yu Feiyu thought her attitude was a bit strange, but without further investigation, he made an invitation gesture to Zhang Li and Cheng Yu.
Zhang Li and Cheng Yu were about to enter when they heard a noise behind them.
A familiar female voice was heard by Zhang Li and Cheng Yu.
"How could you let your sister come first?"
"Qingran refused to let me pick her up, saying they were driving back from the set and her agent would drop her off before leaving..."
"It's just a small matter. Qingran has grown up now. Don't worry about it so much."
The family of three was so harmonious that Yu Feiyu couldn't help but look behind him.
Zhang Li had actually heard it, but she walked in without a pause, as if nothing had happened. Instead, Cheng Yu behind her did the same thing as Yu Feiyu.
He turned around and saw that it was indeed the crazy family from before. He sneered, then looked back and found that Zhang Li had already gone in, so he hurriedly followed him in.
But when he passed by Liu Qingran and noticed that her expression changed slightly, he sneered again.
Liu Qingran is a person who is very sensitive to emotions. When she heard the voices of her family members coming from behind Zhang Li and the others, she didn't dare to look at Zhang Li's face. When she heard Cheng Yu's movement, she couldn't help but raise her head and met Cheng Yu's eyes.
The contempt in Cheng Yu's eyes fell into Liu Qingran's eyes, making her heart feel as if something was pinching it tightly.
When I came to my senses again, Zhang Li and the other three had already gone in, and Liu Fancheng, Xifen and Liu Shuyi were already at the door.
"Baby, why don't you go and sit down? Did you come here specially to pick us up? You are so thoughtful!" Xifen patted Liu Qingran's head habitually, waking her up from her dream.
When Liu Qingran learned that Zhang Li and the others were also having dinner in this restaurant, he felt extremely complicated. Although he quickly called for help, his eyes were still not as bright as before.
Liu Shuyi also showed his concern as an older brother, "Are you tired from filming? Why do you feel so tired?"
"I'm fine." Liu Qingran hurriedly tried to make himself look normal.
She persuaded herself in her heart that although Zhang Li and the others were also in this restaurant, the restaurant arranged a table for them in the most secluded place, so maybe they would not meet Zhang Li again.
After preparing himself mentally, Liu Qingran became much more natural.
Xifen and the others didn't say anything more and followed her into the restaurant.
The chef of this restaurant is so skilled that he was hired by the restaurant owner for a large sum of money to open a special open-air restaurant. This restaurant is referral-based, and those who can enter here must be rich or noble. Ordinary people would never have heard of it.
As for people in the upper circles, even if they have never met, most of them know each other, so it makes no difference to them whether there is a private room or not.
The Liu family is already a regular customer of the restaurant. They just happened to hear the boss say that the chef has developed a new dish. Liu Qingran, who loves this restaurant the most, just returned from the crew, so the family gathered here for dinner.
Their location was, as usual, in a remote place.
The four people were originally chatting happily in private, but when Liu Qingran led them to the dining table and saw the people sitting next to them, the atmosphere instantly froze.
Liu Qingran was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. She didn't expect Zhang Li and the others to be sitting right next to her!
After sitting down, Zhang Li took off his camouflage hat and mask and listened to Yu Feiyu carefully introducing the characteristics of this store.
Noticing the movement nearby, she, Yu Feiyu and Cheng Yu looked over and saw the family of four standing not far away.
Zhang Li raised the corner of his mouth in a slightly sarcastic arc, then looked away.
When Cheng Yu saw this family, she lost her appetite instantly and turned back with her eyes rolled.
Yu Feiyu, the only one who didn't know the relationship between Zhang Li and the Liu family, looked at the legendary Liu family head and his wife with a strange look. He felt extremely surprised and looked at them for a while longer.
Liu Fancheng, Xifen and Liu Shuyi never expected that they would meet Zhang Li here.
Liu Fancheng and Xifen couldn't suppress the anger on their faces, while Liu Shuyi had a curious look on his face.
Especially after seeing Yu Feiyu, the expressions of the three people became even more unpredictable.
Liu Shuyi had already told the Liu couple about Zhang Li's "entanglement" with the two bosses, Wan Cheng and Ling Man.
Although Zhang Li had been driven out of the Liu family a long time ago, they still felt ashamed for doing "this kind of thing".
Originally, Zhang Li wasn't in front of them, so their anger would have passed. However, they didn't expect that they would not only run into Zhang Li while having a meal outside, but also see her sitting with the CEO of Lingman. As for Cheng Yu, who was obviously closer to Zhang Li, she was ignored because her back was turned to them.
Shameless!!
A word flashed through Liu Fancheng and Xifen's minds at the same time.
After Liu Shuyi looked at Zhang Li and Yu Feiyu, he turned his gaze to the Liu couple.
After sensing their turbulent expressions and the same surging emotions, he noticed that Liu Qingran's attention was also on Zhang Li. From an angle where no one noticed, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up, but he quickly suppressed it.
Even though things didn't go according to his plan, it seemed like it was going well.
A strange feeling suddenly flashed through Zhang Li's heart. She raised her eyes suddenly and saw Liu Shuyi suppressing the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Zhang Li looking at him, Liu Shuyi reflexively showed a look of disgust.
Then, he patted the Liu couple on the shoulders and said, "Dad, Mom, I'll ask them to change seats."
The couple also remembered where they were. In order to save the Liu family's reputation and avoid seeing Zhang Li's face that made them unable to eat, they turned around and left.
Although the restaurant does not have private rooms, it still takes into account the requests of these distinguished guests to change seats.
As there were other guests arriving, they transferred the seats originally allocated to the other party to the Liu family.
-
But after the Liu family left, Zhang Li began to think about something.
"What's wrong, Ali?" Yu Feiyu was speechless at first because of the strange behavior of the Liu family. The other party was almost saying out loud about their dislike for them.
However, thinking about the Liu family's previous action of banning Zhang Li and Liu Shuyi from investing in Tianqi, he thought he had found the reason.
But after everyone left, why did Zhang Li behave strangely again?
Zhang Li, brought back to his senses by Yu Feiyu, looked at him and suddenly asked, "I remember that Tianqi spent a huge amount of money to introduce Korean artists. It seems that most of that money came from Pei Yuanzhi?"
Speaking of this matter, Yu Feiyu, as the president of Lingman, knew a lot.
He had someone investigate earlier, and seeing that Zhang Li was suddenly interested, he told him the results of the previous investigation.
"That's true. Ever since Pei Yuanzhi and Yun Shang participated in the same program with you, Liu Shuyi seems to have become a hands-off boss. Later, the two of them invested in Tianqi Media again. Pei Yuanzhi took the lion's share, and Liu Shuyi only invested 20 to 30 million. So compared to Pei Yuanzhi, his losses weren't that big."
Zhang Li finally found something wrong, "Is Pei Yuanzhi so easy to fool?"
Yu Feiyu thought for a moment and said, "It is said that it was because the Liu family was investing in a big project at the time, so Liu Shuyi didn't have much money to invest."
Hearing this reason, Zhang Li's expression turned into a half-smile, "Because the Liu family invested in a big project, they didn't invest much money?"
This tone made Yu Feiyu immediately realize something, "What? Is there something wrong with this matter?"
Zhang Li finally couldn't help laughing out loud, leaving Yu Feiyu puzzled.
Cheng Yu was even more confused, "A Li, what are you laughing at?"
"I laughed. I was surprised that one day I would make a mistake."
Neither of them knew what she was talking about.
However, Zhang Li's next words made them instantly aware of the loophole in Yu Feiyu's previous words.
"Pei Yuanzhi, who isn't even an heir, was able to come up with 300 million, but Liu Shuyi, the heir to the Liu family, can only come up with a mere 20 to 30 million?"
Cheng Yu asked, "Isn't this right? Didn't they say that the Liu family's money was used to invest in projects?"
After hearing what Cheng Yu said, Yu Feiyu finally understood.
"That's right! The money the Liu family invested in the project can't possibly be spread out on just one heir, Liu Shuyi. Considering how much the Liu couple values Liu Shuyi, Liu Shuyi should have quite a lot of assets under his own name! So, Ah Li, this is what you meant when you said 'Pei Yuanzhi is easy to fool'!"
Just think about it, the Pei family has not yet clearly identified an heir. Pei Yuanzhi probably thought that Liu Shuyi, as the heir of the Liu family, had already integrated his funds with the Liu family, so he didn't think about this aspect.
"So, Pei Yuanzhi was not only tricked by Yun Shang, but also by Liu Shuyi?"
Thinking of this, Yu Feiyu showed an 'interesting' expression.
Zhang Li thought further than he did.
She said she had made a mistake, and she was referring to Liu Shuyi.
Before, Liu Shuyi behaved like Pei Yuanzhi, looking impulsive and brainless, but now his scheming side is revealed.
A person's character cannot change suddenly.
Zhang Li could only think of two possibilities. One was that Liu Shuyi had also been "exposed", and the other was that he had been disguising himself from the beginning to the end.
However, Zhang Li felt that the second possibility was more likely.
She had thought about this before. Before she came here, everyone believed that Liu Qingran had been framed repeatedly and was almost sent to the bed of a notorious director. This was done by the original body, and the original book also gave the same side description. However, Zhang Li, who inherited the original body's memory, knew that all this had nothing to do with the original body.
She initially thought that all this might be a play directed and acted by Liu Qingran himself.
But when she actually came into contact with Liu Qing later, she overturned this guess.
Therefore, who exactly framed her and Liu Qingran at the same time became an unsolved mystery.
Zhang Li even expanded the scope of his speculation to include a female supporting character who had always had a crush on Pei Yuanzhi in the original novel. He never thought that this matter might have been done by Liu Shuyi.
After all, whether in the original novel or in the original body's memory, Liu Shuyi is an image of a man who loves Liu Qingran very much, and sometimes even protects her more than the Liu couple.
If she hadn't seized the opportunity today, she might not have suspected Liu Shuyi.
But once doubt arises, the other threads become clear.
Regardless of whether Liu Shuyi really loves Liu Qingran, Liu Shuyi was not welcoming to the original body from the beginning.
Influenced by the original novel and the original body's memories, she always thought that it was the original body's hostility towards Liu Qingran after returning to the Liu family that made Liu Shuyi, whose "sister-con" attribute broke out, dislike the original body.
But what if Liu Shuyi rejected the arrival of her biological sister from the very beginning?
Liu Qingran was influenced by Pei Yuanzhi very early on and wanted to pursue his dream in the entertainment industry, so he could not threaten his position as heir at all.
As a result, the original body suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
If the original self, who is completely different from Liu Qingran and out of control, develops the ambition to compete with Liu Shuyi, is it very likely that he will grow into another Pei Yiyuan?
Therefore, in order to maintain his status as the heir, Liu Shuyi must find ways to exclude his original self from the core of the Liu family.
He could use Liu Qingran, who was loved by the Liu couple, to eliminate dissidents.
After all, when Liu Qingran frequently had accidents, the one who would be suspected naturally could not be him, the brother who loved his sister very much. It was more likely that the original body, the "real daughter" who had always disliked Liu Qingran, would be the one suspected.
As long as he reaches this step, and the original body cannot produce any evidence that he has not done such a thing, his plan of "killing with a borrowed knife" will be completely completed.
As he wished, the original body would be driven out of the Liu family by the Liu couple.
But he certainly didn't expect that the soul in the original body would be replaced by another person.
Later, when he saw that she was showing signs of turning things around, he joined forces with Pei Yuanzhi and wanted to suppress her?
But when they were working together, he was not as "sincere" as Pei Yuanzhi. He deliberately used the excuse of his family's investment project to reduce his investment in Tianqi and lower his own risks?
If all this is really as she thought, then Liu Shuyi is really playing with human nature!
After all, in the original book, everything went exactly according to his plan.
Even in the end, the heroine Liu Qingran was immersed in her career in the entertainment industry. Even after marrying Pei Yuanzhi, the Liu family gave her shares as a dowry, but Liu Shuyi also earned all of it back through cooperation with the Pei family.
After figuring this out, Zhang Li laughed again.
Now, it's time to verify whether the truth is as she thought.
Zhang Li looked at Yu Feiyu, "Mr. Yu, please help me with something..."
【Author’s words】
Pei Yuanzhi: After all this time, there are three people involved in this incident, and I'm the only naive person? [Cracks open]
