Lu Shengjie was clearly trying to stall for time.
But now Sheng Hai Entertainment has climbed to third place on the national entertainment company rankings, while Feng Ji Interactive Entertainment has even fallen to sixth place and hasn't stabilized. Even if Feng Ji Interactive Entertainment were given another month, it would be impossible for them to turn things around.
What is Lu Shengjie trying to do?
Something unusual must be going on. The people from Shenghai Entertainment that Ye Chen brought started whispering among themselves, looking somewhat uneasy.
Only Ye Chen remained sitting there calmly.
"You're too happy too soon, Mr. Ye. Although you won the bet, the competition between us is not over yet."
Lu Shengjie said smugly, with a tone of shrewdness and confidence.
Ever since Sheng Hai Entertainment Company started digging up dirt on their artists, constantly exposing their artists' scandals, Lu Shengjie had already sensed something was wrong.
Lu Shengjie ordered Fengji Entertainment to retaliate, preparing for a fight to the death, but to little avail. At that time, Lu Shengjie had already foreseen that he would not win this betting agreement.
But not winning the betting agreement didn't mean he had lost to Ye Chen, so Lu Shengjie began to think of other ways to deal with Ye Chen.
Finally, he came up with a good idea.
As the saying goes, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." So what if Ye Chen wins the bet? He'll be the oriole!
Let Ye Chen be smug for a few minutes, then it will be time for him to cry.
In the end, he is the one who will win, and it can only be him!
Who does Ye Chen even think he is!
"Really? Mr. Lu is very confident?"
Ye Chen calmly countered with a question.
"Of course, the real winner will be me. Who do you think you are?"
Lu Shengjie remained arrogant, leaning back in his chair, calmly smoking a cigarette, displaying the smugness of a victor.
Ye Chen glanced at Lu Shengjie, smiled helplessly, and asked:
"You're waiting for Li Zishi to come, aren't you?"
Li Zishi?
Upon hearing this name, Lu Shengjie's face clearly showed a hint of surprise and confusion.
"What are you saying? I don't understand."
Lu Shengjie retorted, seemingly not understanding Ye Chen's meaning.
The mention of Li Zishi's name surprised not only Lu Shengjie but also Ye Chen's group. Li Zishi was one of the vice presidents of their Shenghai Entertainment Company and a shareholder, holding a very important position within the company.
Why did Mr. Ye say that?
"Hehe, you may not know this, but I fired Li Zishi yesterday. He should be in the police station now, if nothing unexpected happens."
Ye Chen said meaningfully.
"What?"
Lu Shengjie said in a panic, extremely shocked.
Li Zishi has been fired and is now in the police station?
This news startled the people at Sheng Hai Entertainment Company, but Ye Chen's words the next second shocked them even more.
"You think you can turn things around by bribing Li Zishi? Too bad."
Ye Chen sighed.
Bribing Li Zishi?
Was Li Zishi bribed by Lu Shengjie?
The people at Shenghai Entertainment are as dull as statues, but Li Zishi is the de facto vice president of their company. In terms of power, Li Zishi ranks third in the company and knows countless of Shenghai Entertainment's top secrets.
If Li Zishi is bribed and turns against Lu Shengjie, it will be a huge blow to Shenghai Entertainment!
"You knew all along?!"
Seeing Ye Chen say this, Lu Shengjie stopped pretending and nervously questioned Ye Chen.
His last hope rested on Li Zishi. He spent a large sum of money trying to win Li Zishi over. If something really happened to Li Zishi, all his efforts would be in vain.
"certainly."
On Saturday night, while Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang were having dinner, the head of the Wuzong Private Detective Agency called to report something related to him.
And that matter was Li Zishi!
The person in charge of the case, who was elusive, unexpectedly learned that Li Zishi had been bribed by Lu Shengjie. Since the matter was related to Ye Chen, the boss, the person in charge did not hesitate and immediately reported to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was furious at that moment; what he hated most was "betrayal."
Li Zishi holds only a small number of shares in Shenghai Entertainment Company, but his position in the company is quite important. If Li Zishi were to defect and leak the company's core secrets, Shenghai Company would suffer significant losses.
That very night, Ye Chen used the remaining 3 billion+ yuan of his "10 Billion Forced Purchase Card" to forcibly acquire the shares held by Li Zishi. Then, Ye Chen ordered the people from Xunheng Law Firm to act quickly and call the police. Yesterday, Li Zishi was arrested and taken to the police station.
Leaking company secrets is a crime, so Li Zishi should prepare to stay in Lima for a few years.
Looking back now, it seems that acquiring the Wuzong Private Detective Agency was an absolutely correct choice.
With Li Zishi's crisis over, Ye Chen was naturally extremely calm.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Knowing that Li Zishi was finished, Lu Shengjie could no longer sit still and started cursing.
Li Zishi is finished. His last hope has been dashed, and even the large sum of money he spent to bribe Li Zishi has gone down the drain. He has truly lost both his wife and his army!
Instantly, a huge sense of frustration welled up in his heart, and his previous arrogance vanished. Lu Shengjie immediately deflated.
"Sign it."
Ye Chen gave a look to his subordinate beside him.
The person next to him immediately handed the share transfer contract to Lu Shengjie's people. As long as Lu Shengjie signed it, Ye Chen would own 30% of Fengji Interactive Entertainment, which was worth 20 billion.
"Why."
With a sigh, Lu Shengjie had no choice. The betting agreement between him and Ye Chen wasn't just a verbal agreement.
If it were just a verbal agreement, he would naturally find a hundred ways to break it. But back then, he and Ye Chen signed a betting agreement in front of countless bigwigs in the entertainment industry.
With that document in hand, there was nothing he could do even if he broke the contract. Looking at the share transfer agreement, Lu Shengjie gripped the pen and forcefully signed his name.
Fengji Interactive Entertainment's 30% stake was successfully acquired.
His personal net worth also increased by more than 20 billion!
It doesn't prick.
"Hmph, Mr. Ye, although you own 30% of Fengji Interactive Entertainment's shares, you are not the largest shareholder of Fengji Interactive Entertainment and still cannot control Fengji Interactive Entertainment."
"I still have 30% of the shares left."
Lu Shengjie's last struggle.
"Now, you and I are both the largest shareholders of Fengji Interactive Entertainment, and I will not allow any of your resolutions to pass!!"
As the largest shareholder with equal power in the company, Lu Shengjie planned to annoy Ye Chen by opposing all of Ye Chen's decisions.
With the remaining 30% of the shares, he can still put up a fight against Ye Chen.
"Besides, Fengji Entertainment is all my people. If you want to completely control it, you're dreaming."
Lu Shengjie suddenly stood up, placed his hands on the table, and said to Ye Chen in a cold tone.
I want to give you a piece of advice.
Ye Chen smiled and said to Lu Shengjie:
"You may be ugly, but you're dreaming."
