"Why did you bring me here?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled, as Ding Jiaying dragged him to a secluded grove of trees.
Ding Jiaying was extremely embarrassed and ran away before she could explain. She was afraid she would go into heat again and embarrass herself in front of Lin Chen. Fortunately, the pill worked well, and she didn't experience any abnormalities.
Watching Ding Jiaying's graceful figure recede into the distance, Lin Chen shook his head and sighed softly, "Such a pure and beautiful girl, you actually have the heart to let her become a Category III star? Don't even think about it! I'm keeping her for myself!"
...
"President Tai Xian, what brings you here?" Lin Chen asked with a professional, fake smile as he sat opposite Jin Tai Xian. He knew perfectly well what Jin Tai Xian's purpose was.
The main culprit behind this incident is Jin Tiancai, who has been expelled from the council and even dismissed from Jin's Entertainment because of it. Jin Taixian, the vice president of the Jin family, came specifically to apologize to Lin Chen on behalf of the Jin family.
Jin Taixian walked into Lin Chen's chairman's office, looking at Lin Chen's youthful face, and was filled with mixed emotions. Just a few months ago, this young man was merely considered a formidable opponent. But in such a short time, he had become a huge threat to the Jin family.
Moreover, what was clearly a major crisis for the "Lu Tian Lin Clan" was transformed into a significant opportunity in his hands. Why wasn't that evidence presented immediately? Afterwards, the higher-ups within the Jin family certainly understood the reasons; they simply refused to acknowledge their failure and mistakes.
Lin Chen, this young and promising business prodigy, cleverly used that incident to elevate the "Lu Tian Lin Clan" to unprecedented heights. Today, this name shines like a dazzling new star in the industry, its brilliance even overshadowing the long-established Jin family. This is not merely the result of time, but also the result of Lin Chen's precise planning and decisive decisions.
Jin Taixian, the second-in-command of the Jin family, sat before Lin Chen, his face filled with helplessness and sincerity. "President Lin, I am here today on behalf of the entire Jin family to express our deepest apologies to you. We feel deeply ashamed for the harm we caused you and 'Lu Tian Lin Clan'. To make amends for this mistake, we are willing to pay 500 million as compensation, hoping that we can reach a settlement."
Lin Chen smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of profundity. "President Tai Xian, you should understand that while money is important, it cannot solve all problems. We, the 'Lu Tian Lin Clan,' are not greedy people. It's just that this incident has made us realize that the Jin family's attitude towards us is not as friendly as we imagined."
Jin Taixian gave a bitter smile. Of course, he knew what Lin Chen was referring to. Jin Tiancai, the director of the Jin family, had already paid a heavy price for the Jin family. Not only was he dismissed from his post, but the Jin family's reputation had also been greatly affected.
"President Lin, Jin Tiancai has already paid the price for his mistakes, and our Jin family is willing to take responsibility for it. Isn't that enough?"
Lin Chen shook his head slightly, his gaze sharp. "President Tai Xian, have you ever considered what would have become of the 'Lu Tian Lin Clan' if we hadn't found solid evidence back then? Would the Jin Clan have let us off so easily? I doubt it."
Upon hearing this, Jin Taixian couldn't help but sigh. He knew Lin Chen's words were true and understood that Lin Chen was not satisfied with the current compensation plan. 500 million was not a small amount for the Jin family, but compared to the potential of the "Lu Tian Lin Clan" and Lin Chen's appetite, it seemed far from enough.
"President Lin, what kind of compensation do you think would satisfy you and the 'Lu Tian Lin Family'? As long as your demands are not excessive, our Jin family will do our best to meet them." Jin Taixian's tone revealed a hint of helplessness, but more so a desire for reconciliation.
Lin Chen had been waiting for these words. A smile played on his lips as he slowly said, "I want the free use of the Jin family's top-notch special effects team and award-winning actors. Only in this way can we truly reach a reconciliation."
Upon hearing this, Jin Taixian's face instantly turned ashen. The top-tier special effects team and the elite cast were the core competitive advantages of the Jin family, the foundation of their success in the entertainment industry. To transfer these resources to the "Lu Tianlin family" for free would be tantamount to handing over the Jin family's lifeline.
"This...this is impossible!" Jin Taixian almost jumped up; he couldn't believe Lin Chen would propose such harsh conditions. However, he also understood that if they didn't agree to Lin Chen's demands, the Jin family would face even more severe challenges. As time went on, their losses would not only be the 500 million, but the future of the entire family.
Lin Chen watched Jin Taixian's reaction, secretly pleased with himself. He knew that victory in this game was not far off. As long as the Jin family was willing to concede, the "Lu Tian Lin Clan" would usher in unprecedented development opportunities. And all of this was in his hands.
"President Jin Taixian, if we have the opportunity to cooperate, for example, I would like to creatively link 'Lu Tian Lin Shi's' 'The School Beauty's Bedside Master' with your currently popular 'Rebirth of a Rural Immortal Cultivator' to create a blockbuster movie called 'Rebirth of a School Beauty's Immortal Cultivator'. What do you think?" Lin Chen's words were filled with an undeniable confidence, and his eyes seemed to have already foreseen the future glory.
A complex expression flashed across Jin Taixian's face. "Rebirth of a Rural Immortal Cultivator," a major production of Jin's Entertainment, had just concluded its first season and caused a huge sensation, with the second season already in full swing of preparation. However, a sudden plagiarism scandal loomed over the Jin family like a dark cloud, threatening to remove the first season from the airwaves and halting the filming of the second season.
This was undoubtedly an unprecedented disaster for the Kim family, resulting in heavy losses that have accumulated to nearly one billion.
At this moment, Lin Chen's suggestion was like a ray of dawn, giving Jin Taixian hope. If they could obtain authorization from the "Lu Tian Lin Clan," the powerful combination of these two popular IPs would undoubtedly create an unprecedented box office phenomenon. At the same time, it would also cleverly resolve the crisis of "Rebirth of a Rural Immortal Cultivator," allowing the Jin family to regain its footing.
Jin Taixian quickly calculated in his mind that Lin Chen's proposal seemed fair, but in reality, the value of the super special effects team and big-name stars he provided far exceeded what Lin Chen asked for.
