Chapter 114 Huo and Lu vie for Yining
Huo Zhiyao, the second young master, spoke up, saying each word clearly: "We believe there is no problem with Yining, so our Huo family will not remove the advertisement under any circumstances."
The entire conference room was completely silent.
Those who were waiting to see Fu Jinyan make a fool of himself were now completely stunned.
The other two members of the Fu family both looked at Huo Zhiyao with furrowed brows.
Fu Er couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Huo, are you sure you're not mistaken? Have you asked your brother about this?"
Fu Jinyan snapped out of his daze, glared fiercely at Fu Er, and snapped, "Shut up! Young Master Huo is speaking!"
Fu Er's facial injuries hadn't fully healed yet, and he was already getting angry, so he was about to confront Fu Jinyan.
Huo Zhiyao impatiently said, "Alright, alright, I'm not mistaken. That's how it is. Our Huo family supports Yining. There's no need for her to withdraw from the competition. Besides, we invested in the advertising precisely because we value Yining's strength. Now that she's withdrawn, what are we going to do with our advertising?"
Young Master Fu glanced at the person next to him, who understood, and then said, "Young Master Huo, I heard you're a fan of celebrities, especially this Yi Ning. But being a fan is one thing, the business world is like a battlefield. You can't disobey your brother and act recklessly."
Huo Zhiyao could no longer bear it and slammed his fist on the table.
"What do you mean by disobeying my brother and acting recklessly?" Huo Zhiyao stood up, looking down at everyone. "Our family has a great relationship. What I said today is the result of the three of us discussing it together!"
"and……"
Huo Zhiyao swept his gaze across the crowd menacingly: "So what if I, Huo Er, admire Yining?"
"Today, I'll state my words right here: I, Huo Zhiyao, am the undisputed defender of Yining!"
"If Yining participates, we can continue. Our Huo family will also follow up on the subsequent artist development work. If Yining withdraws from the competition, no matter how popular 'The Voice of China' becomes, our Huo family will not participate!"
That's a very firm statement.
Given the current popularity of "The Voice of China," even without Yining, the commercial value of the other contestants is still quite high.
There are three judges, and putting aside everything else, Li Mengyu is on a very good track record.
Fu Jinyan was utterly dumbfounded.
But he also knew that now was not the time for him to speak up.
Just as everyone was looking at each other and exchanging glances, the representative of the Lu family tapped on the table.
"As instructed by President Lu, I am here today on behalf of the Lu family to state that Yining will not withdraw from the competition, and the Lu family has no objection."
At this moment, everyone's expressions truly changed.
It was no longer shock, but reflection.
The three major powers in City A are the Lu family, the Fu family, and the Huo family. The Fu family is embroiled in internal strife, and Fu Jinyan can only represent one-third of the Fu family. The other two-thirds do not support him.
But the other two major powers, the Huo family and the Lu family, stood firmly in support of Yining, while the Lu family had no objections, which made things interesting.
Is there something they don't know about?
"Our CEO Lu also asked me to pass on a message," the representative of Lu's Group said, "Lu's Group will absorb all the shares withdrawn by investors as a result."
"Hey!" Huo Zhiyao protested, "How dare you steal my lines? My brother has also spoken, and so has the Huo family!"
"Give us as many as you can, we'll take them all!" Huo Zhiyao said.
After this turn of events, the representatives of the various investors began to hesitate and contacted the company one after another to inquire about the situation and seek answers.
First of all, the Huo family did not become an advertiser in the first three games. Even if they valued Yining, it was only because of the third game.
What happened in the third game?
Player Yining is incredibly popular, and his talent is undeniable!
Therefore, the Huo family must have valued Yining's commercial worth, coupled with Huo Er's slight hobby of chasing celebrities.
As for Lu Yanzhi, it certainly wasn't because he had taken a liking to Yi Ning. Everyone knows that he went there for Han Wei, and Yi Ning was Fu Jinyan's person, so it's unlikely.
Secondly, it seems that the Lu family representative came over with the intention of taking over a larger share?
Therefore, they actually value Yining and "The Voice of Heaven".
Once you think about it this way, it all becomes clear!
The answer is: Yining and "The Voice of Heaven" are far more valuable than what they see now; there are things they don't know about them.
So the answer was: neither force Yining to withdraw from the competition nor give up any quota; let's continue.
However, one thought was on the minds of all the parties involved.
That is—who exactly is Yining that it could attract such fierce competition among the three major powers in City A!
Everyone wants her!
Whose face is that behind the mask?
Fu Jinyan looked at this and then at that, his eyes darting around.
This dispute was thus resolved.
In the Fu's Entertainment office, Fu Jinyan laughed so hard he slapped the table.
"You didn't see the expressions on the eldest and second eldest's faces; they looked like they'd eaten shit!"
"I dare say they must have gone to great lengths to contact all parties beforehand, but in the end, before I could even say much, they all turned against me."
"What does the little bit the top two bosses give them matter when faced with absolute benefits?"
"Just one word: awesome!"
Fu Jinyan was still laughing heartily, but Shi Nian began to think.
Why?
If she could understand the Huo family's previous actions to some extent, what about this time?
Why would they protect her if they didn't know her true identity?
I couldn't figure it out at the time.
There's also Lu Yanzhi.
Why did he do that?
He was the one who came over and made the initial statement, he was the one who supported Han Wei, and now he's the one who's securing her spot.
Thinking this way, Shi Nian asked out her thoughts.
Fu Jinyan wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes, expressing his complete understanding.
“I’ve been wondering how to tell you about this, and I’m quite surprised myself,” Fu Jinyan said, then took out a document and placed it on the table. “But I just received some news.”
Fu Jinyan pushed the document to Shi Nian.
Shi Nian glanced at it; the contents of the document were similar to the method she had provided last night to counter Han Wei's exploitation.
"Did something go wrong? Was it rejected?" Shi Nian asked, frowning.
But Fu Jinyan just shook his head.
“This is a document submitted by the Lu family,” Fu Jinyan said.
What?
Shi Nian did not understand.
“When our people went to submit the report this morning, they replied that the Lu family had already secured the program before us.”
Fu Jinyan pointed to the document: "Our people got their hands on this; this is Lu's idea."
"Of course there are other things as well, but in short, the information I've received is that this show won't suddenly disappear."
Hearing Fu Jinyan's words, Shi Nian frowned.
So, why is that?
“I used to think Lu Yanzhi was crazy too.” Fu Jinyan was still rummaging through something when he said, “Isn’t this just like the left and right hemispheres fighting each other? But then I remembered something.”
Fu Jinyan handed another document to Shi Nian.
"After the third match, Lu Yanzhi's people came over and said they would compensate 'Yan'."
"Actually, don't worry about any compensation. His meaning is very clear: hush money, to keep quiet about the fact that the song 'Micro Love' wasn't written by Han Wei herself."
“I rejected it without even thinking about it back then,” Fu Jinyan said. “This time, he might be using this as a bargaining chip.”
Fu Jinyan shrugged: "Of course, it's also possible that he feels he went too far and really wants to make it up to you."
