Chapter 140 Zhou Mingzhang, you are really good at passing the buck!
An investment of 8 million yuan was finalized in just a few words, which is a blockbuster no matter where it is placed.
But what Li Siying didn't know was that Chi Yuheng's investment in her was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, nor was it to compete with his own Mr. H pseudonym.
Besides hoping that she can have enough funds to do whatever she wants, she won't have to worry about money in the future.
More importantly, it is to prevent Shen Guodong and the Shen family from taking action against Xingyao Entertainment.
After chatting for a while, Chi Yuheng knew that she was very satisfied with He Jinyan's appearance and business ability, and he had already decided to sign He Jinyan.
Then, once He Jinyan becomes an artist under Xingyao Entertainment, Xingyao Entertainment will inevitably become the target of Shen Guodong's hatred...
If Li Li was willing to make their relationship public, Shen Guodong might not dare to do anything blatantly to Xingyao Entertainment.
But now Li Li doesn't want their relationship to be exposed, so Chi Yuheng can only use this method, publicly investing and using HL as a backer for Xingyao Entertainment to make Shen Guodong wary.
……
In stark contrast to Li Siying who was immersed in the joy of being a rich woman, the Zhou family was now in a state of gloom.
Ever since Lin Wanrou went to Blueberry Network to cause trouble and tried to throw paint laced with scented paint on Li Siwei but failed, ended up in a mess and was ridiculed by the entire network, Zhou Mingzhang and Chi Manning have been closely following the direction of public opinion on the Internet.
"Still no PR company is willing to take the order?"
Chi Manning frowned and looked at her eldest son Zhou Yunqi worriedly.
"No."
Zhou Yunqi, dressed in a suit, who obviously hadn't even had time to change, shook his head silently. "Given the influence of Lu Qichuan and Light Year Culture in the industry, I don't think... no PR company would dare to take our order."
"Don't dare to accept? Then keep raising the price!"
Zhou Mingzhang slapped the armrest of the sofa, his face dark as the bottom of a pot. "Humph! I just don't believe it. China is so big, but the Li and Lu families can really dominate the world with one hand?!"
"If the PR agency doesn't dare take the call, they'll go find a marketing account! If that doesn't work, they'll hire a troll army! In short, we can't allow this one-sided online criticism of us any longer!"
"If it really doesn't work...see if there are any PR companies abroad willing to take the order?" Chi Manning glanced at her husband's face, which was clearly filled with suppressed anger, and whispered, "The price is negotiable. Your father is right. We can't let the online abuse continue...If the abuse continues, how will your brother ever go out and see people in the future..."
"Snapped!"
Zhou Mingzhang slapped the coffee table in front of him again, "You're too embarrassed to face people?! Can you think of anything else besides that rebellious son?"
"Look at what he's done to the Zhou family! Who knows how much the company's stock price will plummet when the market opens tomorrow! And all you can think about is your good-for-nothing son!"
"My useless son?!" Chi Manning's voice suddenly rose eight octaves. "Chengfeng is my son!"
"Ha!" She sneered, looking at Zhou Mingzhang with mockery in her eyes, "When everything is fine, you always call him Chengfeng, but when something goes wrong, he becomes my son! Zhou Mingzhang, you're really good at shifting the blame!"
"I'm passing the buck?!"
Zhou Mingzhang stood up with a jerk. "When father was still alive, didn't he tell you not to spoil this kid too much?! Haven't I told you more than once that you've spoiled this kid and he must be strictly disciplined?"
"Have you ever listened? Have you changed? You still do what you want! And now you're accusing me of shirking responsibility!"
He also sneered, "Chi Manning, don't deny it. My Zhou family has a good son, but he was raised badly by a short-sighted mother like you! Seeing this kid's current behavior, are you satisfied?"
“I’m shortsighted!”
Chi Manning also jumped up from the sofa, her chest heaving violently. "If you hadn't caused me to fall and Chengfeng to have a premature birth, would I have been so worried about Chengfeng's frail body that I couldn't sleep or eat all day!"
"You are blaming me now!" Zhou Mingzhang put his hands on his hips.
"If you don't blame me, who do you blame!"
Chi Manning also did not give in, "If you hadn't allowed that little goblin to dance in front of me, I wouldn't have..."
"Chi Manning!" Zhou Mingzhang shouted.
Startled by the shouting, Chi Manning suddenly realized that Zhou Yunqi was still there.
Over the years, in order to maintain family harmony and let the children live in a loving environment, she has always kept these shameful conflicts between her and her husband hidden.
If she hadn't been so distracted and so irritated today, she would never have said those words in front of Zhou Yunqi...
Biting her lower lip tightly, Chi Manning turned her head to the side angrily and sat back heavily on the sofa.
Zhou Mingzhang also cleared his throat stiffly and looked at Zhou Yunqi who was frowning beside him. "Go give him a call and ask why he hasn't brought the person back yet!"
Although after the incident, Chi Manning called Zhou Chengfeng immediately and asked him to contact Lin Wanrou to stop this farce.
But for some reason, Lin Wanrou never answered Zhou Chengfeng's call.
In the end, he was simply controlled by the security guards brought by Pei Yanzhi and taken to the police station again.
Zhou Chengfeng originally didn't intend to care about Lin Wanrou anymore and let her fend for herself in the police station.
But as the incident developed and escalated, the Zhou family, for the sake of their own reputation and to control Lin Wanrou from talking nonsense and causing further trouble, asked Zhou Chengfeng to go to the police station to bring the person back.
In order to avoid complications, he even sent Lawyer Zhang to accompany him...
"Should be arriving soon."
Zhou Yunqi suppressed the strange expression on his face and replied calmly, "Just now, Lawyer Zhang said that because there were paparazzi and reporters waiting outside the police station, it took them some time to shake them off."
"It's true that more success than failure leads to failure!"
Zhou Mingzhang waved his sleeves, snorted heavily, and sat back on the sofa.
"When that kid comes back soon, don't talk!"
He glared at Chi Manning coldly, "If I hear you say a word to protect him again..."
"What about you?!" Chi Manning glared back.
"I……"
Just as Zhou Mingzhang was about to speak, he used family rules to break Zhou Chengfeng's legs, so that he would never be able to leave the Zhou family's gate again in his life.
However, before he could say anything, the butler's voice came from the door.
"Master, Madam, the eldest young master, the second young master and the others are back."
Hearing this, the three people in the room looked towards the door.
As expected, Zhou Chengfeng, with a gloomy face, and Lin Wanrou, with her cheeks swollen and still sobbing, strode in...
Zhou Yunqi frowned.
Lin Wanrou's condition was obviously caused by being beaten by Zhou Chengfeng.
He didn't know when his brother developed the habit of beating women!
