Chapter 83 The Unscrupulous Investor Was Me
Cheng Sangsang's hand trembled, and the document fell to the ground with a "thud".
Youmu Investment was a small company that her sister gave her to practice with.
She didn't like management, so she asked Chu Meng to find a professional manager to take care of her. She would occasionally sign a few contracts each year and receive a reasonable amount of dividends on time.
This time, we are also using this company to invest in Tuyao's button mushrooms.
So... I'm the unscrupulous investor?!
...Am I the one who's really going to sue Tu Chaoxi behind the scenes?
She quickly took out her phone and dialed Bai Chumeng's number.
"What's the deal with Chu Meng and Tu Chaoxi's drama?"
Bai Chumeng paused for a moment on the other end of the phone, then explained softly, "This is the company's largest investment project to date. You personally signed your name back then, but you should have forgotten."
"The manager said that the project has already started, and if it cannot proceed normally, the company's initial investment will be wasted, and suing him is a normal procedure."
Her voice was tinged with pain: "Sangsang, I didn't want to either."
"I didn't expect this project to cause so many problems, but he's already preparing to terminate his contract. Maybe I misunderstood the whole thing about him taking the role."
If it were the old Cheng Sangsang, she would have scolded her for being soft-hearted and then seized on this weakness without hesitation to help her take revenge.
But Cheng Sangsang just mumbled an "Oh," and said, "Indeed, you misunderstood him."
"So, is it possible to not prosecute? Or let it go, and if we don't prosecute, let's just stop him from filming."
Bai Chumeng: ……
Bai Chumeng clenched her fists tightly, gritted her teeth, and continued softly, "I want to, but I've asked my manager, and it's really not possible. The director's team and the post-production team's schedules are already set, and we can't find a suitable male actor at the last minute."
Cheng Sangsang sighed deeply: "I understand. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
As soon as she hung up the phone, Bai Chumeng's face darkened instantly, and she smashed her phone!
In just a few days, that idiot Cheng Sangsang has become a fence-sitter just like Xu Bai!
On the other side, Cheng Sangsang collapsed onto the stool.
According to Chu Meng, it seems to make sense...
Something seems off.
She says she likes Teacher Tu, but it seems like she's been creating problems the whole time...
Creating problems for Tu Chaoxi, and creating problems for her too...
So what should we do now?
If she doesn't film, her sister's company will have to close down. But if she forces Tu Chaoxi to do it, wouldn't that be harming her? Tu Xiaomao would probably hate her...
Cheng Sangsang's already small brain capacity was about to explode.
She tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, and woke up in the morning with dark circles under her eyes.
She opened the door and bumped right into Xu Bai, who hadn't slept all night either.
...
Tu Yao got up very early today and went to her third aunt's cousin's house. Her third aunt's cousin is a bricklayer and his family has a lot of cement stored up.
She bought some and piled it up in the yard, mixing it together in preparation for building the wall.
"Wasn't it Miss Cheng who was supposed to do it?"
Hearing the commotion, Xu Chi came out and added half a bag of cement to her collection.
"Don't move! Don't move!"
Tu Yao quickly snatched it away and said seriously, "You go in, I'll do it."
The weather has been getting cooler in the mornings lately, and Xiaochi, with her constitution, is likely to catch a cold if exposed to the wind for too long.
As for Cheng Sangsang...
Tu Yao shook her head knowingly: "She can't do it. She must not have slept well last night. She can't work."
Xu Chi observed her: "You seem to be in a good mood today?"
Tu Yao touched her face: "It's alright."
After hesitating for a moment, she leaned closer and whispered, "Xiao Chi, I just think that as long as the underlying character isn't bad, even cannon fodder can be friends with the female lead."
Xu Chi's lips curled up slightly involuntarily.
Perhaps because he felt too lonely and isolated carrying a secret all by himself, his best friends would always want to confide in him after making even the slightest progress.
His eyes were deep and unfathomable. He couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the girl's beautiful eyebrows and eyes with his slender fingers.
"The person who took the initiative to approach must have made a lot of effort."
Tu Yao blinked, a little embarrassed: "No, I didn't try very hard, it was just so-so!"
"Oh, right, Koike!"
Suddenly, Tu Yao exclaimed, "My second brother sent me tickets! I'd like to invite you to a concert next month!"
"But if it's inconvenient for you to travel far, it's okay if you don't go. I'll record it and listen to it for you when I get back!"
"concert?"
Xu Chi pretended to hesitate for a moment, glancing at the person opposite him out of the corner of his eye.
The girl's gaze, though feigning reserve, couldn't hide her anticipation as she stared intently at him.
He suppressed a laugh and agreed, "Okay, thank you for the invitation."
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly!
"It's a deal then!"
Besides attending concerts, another reason is that the medical care here is too backward. After the show is finished, the director will transfer 50,000 yuan to her. After deducting the necessary expenses for building mushroom houses and buying mushroom spawn, there will still be some left.
If Xiaochi is willing, she will take him to get a medical check-up.
While chatting with Xu Chi, Tu Yao continued to stir the cement. After a few stirs, two heads appeared faintly outside the wall.
The two were huddled together as if they were arguing. Cheng Sangsang whispered against the wall, "You go and tell him. I don't dare. I'm afraid Tu Xiaomao will get angry."
Xu Bai glanced at her sideways: "Why should I say that? That's your company, not mine!"
"This is so annoying, I didn't know about this!"
"Anyway, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Then why didn't you sleep all night either?"
Tu Yao leaned closer, pressed herself against the wall, and looked down at them, saying quietly, "...What are you doing?"
The two were immediately startled and fell to the ground head-to-head.
Cheng Sangsang subconsciously looked up, then gave an awkward laugh: "Haha, good morning Tu Xiaomao, it's nothing, it's nothing... we're just..."
Upon noticing the bucket of cement in Tu Yao's hand, she immediately coughed twice: "What's going on!"
"Didn't we agree that I would build this wall?"
Cheng Sangsang quickly got up, circled around, and snatched the bucket from Tu Yao's hand. "I'll take responsibility for my own actions. I promised to compensate you with a wall and a mushroom house. I won't renege on my promise."
Tu Yao said "Oh," and then asked, "So, we'll sign a contract after the wall is built?"
Cheng Sangsang's hand, which was stirring the cement, froze instantly.
"Well... that's not important. By the way, what's your brother... Teacher Tu, what's he planning to do about that lawsuit?"
Tu Yao tilted her head to look at her. "Didn't we say yesterday that he plans to respond to the lawsuit?"
The incident caused a huge uproar online overnight. Even though people knew that the agency and investors behind it were deliberately making things difficult for Tu Chaoxi, most netizens felt sorry for her and thought that she would have a hard time getting through this.
They were either crushed by the huge compensation payments or suffered a major blow to their careers.
After all, no matter how promising an artist's future may be, the industry will not be optimistic about an artist embroiled in lawsuits; this is something everyone knows.
However, at the same time, this investment company also became notorious for its terrible scripts, and was criticized by Tu Chaoxi's fans and indignant netizens.
Cheng Sangsang practically buried herself in the bucket, and mumbled, "...Aren't you supposed to be very capable? It seems like you helped clear up the dirt on your brother the last few times. Can't you do anything this time?"
Tu Yao shook her head: "This time it's beyond my ability to handle."
She could use the tiny bit of information in the original work to reveal the truth about the indenture contract, accidentally uncover Gu Feihong's true colors, and clear up the misunderstanding between her brother and two friends.
They could also use their cleverness to exploit the loopholes in Nan Ke's false accusation.
But when it comes to massive amounts of capital, she's not qualified.
Tu Yao retorted indignantly, "I'm just a country girl!"
But she has done all she could. Now it depends on whether some people are willing to come to her side, believe in her, and believe in the truth they have seen and experienced these past few days.
Tu Yao waited patiently.
After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Sangsang suddenly looked up, a resolute glint in her eyes.
"I have something to say to you and your brother!"
Ten minutes later, everyone had arrived.
Cheng Sangsang glanced at Tu Yao, took a deep breath, and said, "Do you... know that I have a very good friend in Hong Kong?"
Tu Yao nodded, resting her chin on her hand: "Bai Chumeng."
Cheng Sangsang: ? ? ?
