I can't even afford to buy an office; I have to rent one. I don't even have enough money to buy a nice car for the company to project a good image. I'd be better off spending that money on celebrity endorsements; at least that would boost the product's reputation.
Yang Kai wouldn't be fooled by her twisted logic and continued to scold, "I gave you startup capital, not money to support gigolos and celebrities!"
Don't think that just because your father is old, he doesn't know your tricks. That big star you signed, I've never even heard of him. How could he be worth ten million?!
After saying that, Yang Kai threw a stack of documents on the ground, and the photos in the documents happened to slide to Yang Xishu's feet.
Whether it was because her secret was exposed or because her father's yelling had really gotten to her, Yang Xishu's face instantly turned red to the tips of her ears, and she cried out in a tearful voice, "What are you saying? What are you saying! Just because you don't know them doesn't mean they're not celebrities! All you know is Tang Guoqiang and Zhang Tielin!"
I hired the hottest celebrity right now! They endorse all the biggest brands! I had a hard time talking to people and agencies for ages before they agreed to endorse my little-known brand!
"Good heavens! That's incredible. It looks like ten million was handed to you on a silver platter, and you even had to accept it reluctantly? Yang Xishu, how shameless are you?!"
From childhood to adulthood, no matter how outrageous her behavior was, Yang Xishu had never been scolded like this before. She was so angry that she forgot to be afraid, turned around and stormed out of the door, slamming the door heavily in front of Yang Kai.
"This is outrageous! They're all a bunch of good-for-nothings! Not a single one of them is any good!" Yang Kai began to curse all the children without restraint.
When Yang Xile heard this story, it was a combination of his mother Zhang Lu's and his colleague Zhai Shu's versions.
Uncle Zhai didn't witness the internal strife within his family, but he heard Yang Kai unleashing a furious tirade against the company's legal and finance departments, ordering them to block all of his daughter's applications.
Zhang Lu didn't witness the scene at the company, but she witnessed the entire father-daughter battle at home. She didn't understand business, didn't want to get involved, and had no reason to protect her daughter who wasn't related to her by blood; she was simply an observer.
After listening to Uncle Zhai's explanation, Yang Xile took out her phone and casually searched for a while, seemingly talking to herself and asking Uncle Zhai at the same time: "This guy? Wei Changfeng? Hmm, I've heard of him before, and I've seen him on TV a few times, but he's just like that. I thought he was some kind of stunningly handsome man who could make my second sister lose her mind?"
Uncle Zhai leaned over to glance at his phone screen, remained noncommittal, and then said, "Anyway, Miss Er is probably completely out of the game this time. The chairman said that she dared to spend ten million on a celebrity even when she had no money, but if she had money, she would dare to turn the world upside down."
Yang Xile tilted his head and asked, "What about the money? My sister has already spent it all, so there's no way to get it back. It looks like she definitely slept with him. Spending ten million to keep a male celebrity? Giving him money and giving him a gift, sigh, I knew my eldest brother was crazy, but I didn't expect my second sister to be just as crazy."
"The second young lady doesn't have that much money; she spent over three million just renting office space in the China World Trade Center. I heard that she only paid a deposit for this advertisement, but a formal commercial contract was signed. Our legal department is handling it, and the other party says that since the contract was not fulfilled, a refund can be issued as agreed."
Yang Xile raised an eyebrow and looked at Wei Changfeng's photo on his phone: "He can spit out what he's eaten? He's got some sense, kid."
Uncle Zhai said, "Maybe it's not what we think. I feel that it's probably just wishful thinking on the part of the second young lady. She wants to build a relationship with the other party through business cooperation, have a meal, and then see if there is any development opportunity. It's like 'using public funds to chase stars'."
Otherwise, there would be no need to sign a contract. I've reviewed the contract; it's very formal, and all the details regarding product endorsement are clearly stipulated.
Yang Xile burst into laughter: "Haha, then my second sister is even more miserable. She tried to spend ten million to buy a beauty's smile but failed."
He held his phone out to Uncle Zhai, grinning, and said, "Hey, Uncle, I'm not kidding, but look at this face, someone's willing to pay ten million for it. And look at my face, isn't it worth a hundred million?"
Uncle Zhai laughed too: "Xile, France has everything except mirrors?"
Dinner ended pleasantly amidst laughter and conversation between two friends of vastly different ages.
