Qiao Yifan knew they wouldn't believe him. He could have waited until tonight to sign the contract with Mrs. Huo before terminating the contract with the Bai family.
But he really didn't want to wait a moment longer, and was even willing to gamble everything, leaving himself no way out.
Mrs. Huo is the only path this drama can take in the future.
He said, "We just received the news that the Huo family is going to invest in this film."
"The reason why the Huo Group invested is because Ji Yingdi is the male lead in this film."
Upon hearing this, Bai Jingshu recalled the couple who had appeared on set earlier that day, and she suddenly burst into laughter: "You're not going to tell me that the man who appeared on set today was President Huo, are you?"
"People in the entertainment industry know that Ji Pingtao comes from an ordinary background. If his childhood friend were the president of Huo Group, he would have already invested in this film."
"Qiao Yifan, even if you really want to change investors, you don't need to bring up the Huo Group."
Qiao Yifan pushed the termination contract: "You don't need to know whether what I said is true or false. Just sign this termination contract first, and we can part ways amicably."
“Miss Bai, you’ve been causing trouble in my film crew lately, making things very ugly. Although I’m not as rich as your Bai family, I, Qiao Yifan, am not someone to be trifled with.”
Bai Jingshu stood up and sneered, "Then let's see how capable you are of forcing me to terminate the contract."
After saying that, she left Qiao Yifan's office, filled with anger.
While Qiao Yifan's contract termination was not going smoothly, Ji Pingtao was chatting and laughing with Luo Sang and Huo Yunsheng, a married couple, as they went on a trip.
At the appointed time, the three of them went to meet Qiao Yifan and the producer.
Both parties were interested, and the meal was a pleasant one for both hosts and guests, resulting in a successful signing of the contract.
Qiao Yifan wanted to invite Huo Yunsheng and the other two to go singing, but was refused.
Huo Yunsheng left early with his wife and brothers, leaving only Qiao Yifan, the producer, and both lawyers in the private room.
After Zhou Zhuoyue saw that his boss and his wife had left, he adjusted his glasses and looked at the people present: "I hope you can keep my boss and his wife's marriage a secret."
Qiao Yifan and the other two nodded repeatedly. After learning that Mrs. Huo's name was Losang, they took advantage of the time to go to the restroom to look up Losang on Baidu.
They were somewhat surprised when they learned that Losang was the second young lady of the Mu family.
The scandalous affair between the eldest daughter of the Mu family and the third young master of the Si family has been widely publicized recently, and it has been trending on social media for quite some time.
I already know everything I should and shouldn't know.
Many people joked that the Mu family could establish connections with top-tier wealthy families simply because of their daughter.
Unexpectedly, the Mu family's ultimate trump card was not the eldest daughter of the Mu family, but the second daughter of the Mu family, who had been missing since childhood and had only been found a little over a year ago.
Qiao Yifan and the others felt that the Mu family could rely on their two daughters and avoid decades of hard work.
The producer quickly responded, "Don't worry, Attorney Zhou, we won't say a word that shouldn't be said."
"Yes, yes, Attorney Zhou, don't worry. We are very grateful for Mrs. Huo's investment. We will definitely keep our mouths shut and will not cause any trouble for President Huo and Mrs. Huo."
Everyone expressed that they would never speak carelessly and would keep quiet about the fact that President Huo was married.
Zhou Zhuoyue was finally satisfied; in fact, he was quite surprised himself.
I never imagined that Miss Lausanne, who entrusted me with the management of the charity foundation, would eventually become my boss.
This is completely unexpected.
Pan Wen-cho must have known about this, but he kept it from me. He really keeps his mouth shut.
Ji Pingtao, sitting in the passenger seat, turned to look at Huo Yunsheng and Luosang: "How much longer are you going to stay here?"
"There's nothing fun to do here. We mainly came here to visit the set, see you, and make an investment. Now that things are done, we're leaving."
Losang smiled and looked at Ji Pingtao: "When you finish filming and return to Beijing, we'll throw you a welcome-back party."
This statement has been made twice already; instead of waiting for Ji Pingtao to finish filming, he invested in the film himself.
Ji Pingtao nodded: "Okay, I'll try to finish it by the end of the year and then go back to Beijing for the New Year."
It sounds easy, but Ji Pingtao knew it was a bit difficult. After the change of actors, it would take a long time from casting to reshoots.
However, with sufficient funds now, Qiao Yifan will definitely work overtime to film in order to meet the deadline.
As long as they don't die, they'll exploit them to the extreme.
Losang said, "Take good photos, and I hope you can deliver a perfect result."
That evening, Ji Pingtao went to Huo Yunsheng's suite, and the three of them drank some wine and chatted until late at night.
The next morning, Ji Pingtao woke up to find that Huo Xiaoqi had already left with Xiao Sangsang.
Neither of them left a single word for him.
That's truly despicable.
Ji Pingtao lay on the sofa and sent a message to Huo Yunsheng: "Huo Xiaoqi, you wait. After I finish filming, I will go back to Beijing to find you guys and stay at your house as a third wheel."
Huo Yunsheng and Luosang had already arrived at their destination. Upon seeing this message, he chuckled twice.
Although the Huo Group rarely ventures into the entertainment industry, it doesn't mean that he personally cannot invest.
To prevent this giant third wheel from disturbing his and Sang Sang's lives, Huo Yunsheng decided to have someone select a few good scripts to invest in, so that Ji Pingtao would have something to do.
He makes several movies or TV series a year, so he definitely doesn't have time to go back and bother himself.
Ji Pingtao never dreamed that because of this message, his future life would be plunged into utter misery.
While Huo Yunsheng and Luosang were having a great time outside, the atmosphere at the Mu family home became somewhat tense.
No one knew why, but Old Man Mu had been throwing a tantrum for the past two days. Mu He was being scolded three times a day, and even Mu Youyi, who had been staying home to rest during her pregnancy and hadn't left the house for several days, had been scolded several times.
Needless to say, Zhang Xueqing always seemed to make a mistake no matter what she did.
When Mu He tried to scold He Xiling, she pointed her finger at him and scolded him back, so no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to do anything to He Xiling.
The Mu family of three had no idea why the old man was so irritable, but He Xiling knew perfectly well what was going on.
She had someone spread a message overseas that An Yuchuan had a younger sister who was the true heir to the He family business.
After the He family couple ran into trouble, most of the He family's assets fell into the hands of the eldest daughter of the He family.
He family's grandson-in-law, Mu He, only took a small, insignificant portion of the property.
After this news was released, many people began to investigate, wanting to know what businesses the He family had hidden away in the past.
And who exactly is the He family's heir?
Upon receiving this news, Mu He was so angry that he smashed many things in his study.
One of the reasons he has remained calm over the past decade or so is that no one knows that the He family is hiding another secret.
