Chapter 743: Andy, You Can't Eat Spicy Food Anymore

In the Central Media Building,

at the Jiaxing Media headquarters,

Da Mimi and Sister Reba had already put on tightly buttoned professional suits,

the two sitting on one side,

looking at Wang Zong, Lin Wumin, and Hong Yinbao across from them.

Then,

Wang Zong began to speak endlessly about how much he valued Da Mimi and Sister Reba, and how regretful he felt for them,

as he spoke,

Wang Zong even recounted a few years ago when he almost signed Da Mimi at the highest price, only to regret that Da Mimi had been determined to follow Jiaxing at the time, rejecting his past advances.

After finishing the story of the past,

Wang Zong looked at Da Mimi and smiled: "Da Mimi, if you had come directly to my company back then, things would be much better now, and you wouldn't be trapped in such a predicament as you are now..."

Since she needed something from him, Da Mimi could only smile and agree: "Yes, Mr. Wang. I was young and ignorant back then, so I took so many wrong turns. But now, I have become much more sensible..."

"Much more sensible?"

Hearing this, Hong Yinbao smiled and narrowed his eyes, staring at Da Mimi's chest, then asked with subtle meaning: "Da Mimi, are you really sensible now?"

"Brother Bao~~"

Da Mimi knew what Hong Yinbao was looking at, but could only pretend to be coquettish and say: "Of course I am sensible now. After experiencing so many things and suffering so many setbacks, I have grown up."

Lin Wumin was the youngest and least experienced of the five people present, so before coming, Wang Zong had specifically told him not to speak out of turn.

But at this moment,

although Lin Wumin did not speak out of turn, his eyes were fixed straight on Sister Reba,

if those eyes had hands, Lin Wumin would have probably stripped off Sister Reba's outer coat long ago,

although when facing Qin Feng, Lin Wumin begged for mercy, admitted his faults, and almost called him father,

but when facing Da Mimi and Sister Reba, Lin Wumin returned to that arrogant and ignorant demeanor.

Lin Wumin's gaze made Sister Reba feel extremely uncomfortable,

just as she was about to speak,

Da Mimi immediately shot her a look, signaling Sister Reba not to lose the big picture over a small issue,

seeing this, Sister Reba could only swallow her anger, crossing her arms in protest.

After Da Mimi finished speaking,

Wang Zong nodded in agreement: "That's right, Mimi, people can only learn to grow after experiencing setbacks and failures."

Then,

Wang Zong said directly: "However, with the help of a benefactor, the speed of growth will be much faster."

"Da Mimi, I know you and Sister Reba are waiting for this opportunity to turn things around and break free from Jiaxing, so I invited Brother Bao and Wumin to come and help you."

"I have learned about the project 'The Lost Her'. The conservative initial investment estimate is 600 to 700 million yuan, not including pre-launch promotion and traffic generation; the total comes to about one billion yuan."

"I also heard that to secure this project, you and Sister Reba jointly acquired the lead investment rights, but the follow-up investment is still not secured, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Wang."

Da Mimi nodded upon hearing this: "So, I contacted you again, hoping to get some support from your side."

"I know, that is also the reason the three of us came to see you."

Wang Zong smiled and nodded, saying: "To be honest, Da Mimi, we do have the money, and because of you and Sister Reba, we are very interested in this project, so we are very willing to help you."

"But, there is one precondition for my investment: you must pledge all the Jiaxing shares under your and Sister Reba's names to me. Is this acceptable?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Da Mimi involuntarily exchanged a glance with Sister Reba,

both of them having a trace of anger in their eyes,

just two days ago, Qin Feng spent 600 million to acquire 20% of Jiaxing Media's shares,

and now, the combined shares of Da Mimi and Sister Reba are more than double Qin Feng's, yet Mr. Wang of Huayi Brothers only wants to demand a pledge with 600 to 700 million yuan in cash; this is really bullying!

If Da Mimi and Sister Reba did not have long-term contracts requiring them to hold a certain amount of decision-making power, even selling their shares at a low price would surely fetch more than these 600 to 700 million yuan!

However, although feeling indignant in her heart,

Da Mimi was helpless,

she knew that the entertainment industry has always been like this,

there is never help given in times of need,

only taking advantage of your illness to demand your life!

If it were not for the fact that she and Sister Reba still had some exploitable value,

the Mr. Wang in front of her wouldn't even look at her once, let alone invest...

After carefully considering the current situation,

Da Mimi knew that only Mr. Wang might save herself and Sister Reba, so she could only helplessly smile, preparing to nod,

but just at this moment,

Sister Reba suddenly stood up,

and splashed the water from the cup in front of her directly at Lin Wumin from a distance,

then,

Sister Reba looked directly at Da Mimi, whose eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and said: "Sister Mi, although I have been in the industry for a short time, I am not stupid. I do not agree to this matter. If you insist on forcibly accepting their investment, I will withdraw immediately and take legal action!"

After speaking,

Sister Reba stared at Lin Wumin and said coldly, "Little brother, don't think having a few dirty coins gives you the right to act so recklessly—if you dare look at me like that again, I'll gouge out your eyes right now!"
