“Alright, Mr. Xue, I understand. I’ll give you an answer right away!” Qin Yu said with a solemn expression as she hung up the phone.
“What did Mr. Xue say?” Qin Yuan asked from the office window, his voice grave.
“He’s planning to produce a movie for Fan Mengxue, and he wants us to be the investors!”
“What do you think?” Qin Yuan asked without turning around.
Qin Yu hesitated slightly, “Providing the funding isn’t hard, a few billion yuan isn’t much for the Qin Family, but if we do this, we’ll completely be taking a stand against the Xie Family.”
Qin Yuan chuckled, then seemingly out of the blue said, “Yu, look at this vast city outside the window, how dazzling it is.”
The office was located on the top floor of the tallest skyscraper in Beijiang City. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could enjoy a view that diminished all the other buildings, as if the entire Beijiang City was underfoot.
Qin Yu was somewhat puzzled.
Qin Yuan continued, “For many years, we have kept the peace with the Xie
Family, seemingly amicable, but do you think it’s as friendly as it appears?”
“Business is a battlefield, sometimes even crueler than an actual battlefield. Do you know why Longtai Group has no industry in the provincial city? It wasn’t like that originally. Back then you were too young. I sent many capable subordinates to the provincial city to explore the market, including your father, but in the end, they lost their lives.”
Qin Yuan’s voice grew heavy at this point.
Qin Yu felt a tightness in her chest and listened quietly.
Qin Yuan sighed, “Later as I grew older, my vitality and desire for revenge faded. Fortunately, I met Mr. Xue, and thanks to him, I regained my health. Now, it’s time to settle the scores from the past!”
Qin Yu nodded thoughtfully.
“Mr. Xue is a smart man, even the wisest I’ve ever seen. He’s going to the provincial city this time, and the reason I sent Hei King with him was actually to express the Qin Family’s intentions.”
“That is, no matter what, the Qin Family will always be Mr. Xue’s loyal supporter! This is also why he wants us to invest! He… is certainly aiming for more than just a movie!”
“So… Grandfather, you mean…”
“I’ll hold the fort here. You take enough funds and go to the provincial city yourself! Mr. Xue wants five billion, so you bring ten billion there!” Qin Yuan’s eyes gleamed more sharply.
Qin Yu’s expression became solemn, and she nodded, “Yes!”
“Dust to dust, earth to earth, some things should be settled!” Qin Yuan looked down at the bustling city below, his eyes burning with flames.
Han Yao’s face was extremely unsightly.
Because all morning, she had made countless calls to fairly renowned directors in the industry, but as soon as they heard it was for a new movie starring Fan Mengxue, they all politely declined.
The dismal start made both Han Yao and Fan Mengxue’s hearts sink.
The Xie Family’s influence in the industry was obviously much larger than imagined.
Only Xue An remained unaffected, even spending the morning playing puzzles with his two daughters.
When noon arrived and the last phone call also ended in vain, even Han Yao fell into despair.
Yet at that moment, the doorbell rang. When Hei King opened the door, a man wearing a mask walked in.
Once he removed his mask, it turned out to be Stephen.
“Mr. Stephen, what brings you here…” Han Yao and Fan Mengxue quickly stood up.
Stephen gave an apologetic smile and then very formally nodded to Xue An, who was sitting in a chair. “Mr. Xue.”
Xue An nodded, “Sit down!”
Stephen shook his head, “I won’t sit. There’s a lot to do back at the studio. I came to tell you that if you’re really determined to make a movie, I can recommend someone!”
“Who?” Han Yao’s eyes lit up.
