Chapter 173: Holy crap! Little Liu has turned dark!

The two equity transfer contracts were identical; all that was needed was to change the figures and the parties involved, and it would be done.

Seeing Lu Kuan and Liu Zeyu settled the transaction without a change in expression, reaching the deal.

Boss Lu let out a long sigh. It really wasn't easy.

It had been a long time since he'd acted; if this performance were really filmed, why wouldn't it win an Oscar nomination?

The young Yanei was naturally delighted, using the money scammed from Cheng Jingfei to buy Red Star Dock shares, and gaining both the person and the wealth in Liu Yifei.

With Liu Yifei's development in the film and television industry, plus Yanda Huayi's assistance, she would create even greater profits for him!

It was only a short-sighted person like Seeing Lu Kuan who would liquidate and exit for a mere 30 million. What a fool.

"How about it, Director Lu? Shall we have dinner together tonight?"

"Although you are no longer a person of our Red Star Dock, we are old acquaintances after all. Who knows, maybe Yifei will be able to be in your movie in the future?"

Boss Lu had already sent Sun Wenwen to the nearest bank with the check to ensure it could be cashed without error.

It wasn't until he received a message on his phone that he had the thought of slapping the young Yanei in the face again.

The check was valid for ten days, and Sun Wenwen was already processing the paperwork. Besides, it was in black and white, so he wasn't afraid of the young Yanei going back on his word.

"Your Red Star Dock?"

"Let me count. How many people are left in your Red Star Dock?"

Seeing Lu Kuan stood up with a pretentious air.

"Me, out."

"President Cheng, out."

"Old Zhang, you count as one."

"Liu Ayi, you also count as one."

"As for little Liu..."

Boss Lu walked to Liu Yifei's side and patted her shoulder.

The young girl gave him a cold look and ignored him, turning her body to the other side, her pretty face frosty.

Hehe, a bit awkward.

Fortunately, his skin was thick enough; he walked a circle and returned to Liu Zeyu.

"Young Master Liu, your Red Star Dock seems to only have three people left, right?"

Liu Zeyu felt a sudden thud in his heart for no reason. He had seen this villainous look on Seeing Lu Kuan too many times.

At the Emperor headquarters, at the wrap-up banquet for *The Drummer*...

*Why didn't he count Liu Yifei? What backup plan did he leave behind? *

*Liu Xiaoli has already been taken down, what kind of waves can Liu Yifei make? *

"If you have something to say, just say it. No one has time to play charades with you."

Boss Lu reached out to the bodyguard standing behind him: "A-Fei, bring me the contract."

Yang Siwei watched in surprise as he took two sheets of paper from his briefcase, opened the first page, and placed them on the conference table.

The situation reversed, and everyone looked over.

First: "Statement on Liu Ayi Yifei's Application for Recognition of the Invalidity of the Red Star Dock Agency Contract."

Second: "Offer from Wenjie Culture Media to Liu Ayi Yifei for an Agency Contract."

Liu Zeyu was furious and slammed the table as he stood up!

"You're dreaming! Liu Yifei is a minor. All civil contracts are signed by her guardian, Liu Ayi, and they are already in effect in black and white!"

"And I've already had Yanda Huayi prepare the next two movies for her, collaborating with Zhou Xingchi and Liu Dehua. On what grounds can they go back on their word?"

The young Yanei became more confident as he spoke.

"Even if we take a step back, even if Liu Ayi goes back on her word, the contract is already in effect. Isn't it a bit too late for you to pull out this trash now?"

Seeing Lu Kuan smiled as he watched him finish his act. He didn't respond, but picked up the two contracts and walked to Liu Yifei's side.

The young girl was still angry, arms crossed, ignoring him, but she couldn't help but look at the content of the contracts.

The ice and snow in her heart gradually melted...

"Liu Yifei is indeed not yet 18 years old. She is a minor and a person with limited capacity for civil conduct; she cannot independently participate in the signing of civil contracts."

"However, the 'General Principles of Civil Law' also stipulates that a minor who has reached the age of 16 but is not yet 18, and who uses their own labor as their main source of livelihood, can be regarded as a person with full capacity for civil conduct."

"That is to say, even if Lady Liu signed a new contract with a 43 million penalty in Liu Yifei's name yesterday, Liu Yifei, who turned 16 today, can apply to the court herself to recognize the aforementioned contract as invalid!"

This type of precedent is often used when guardians squander a minor's property; minors over 16 who meet the conditions can sue in court.

"Young Yanei, you really couldn't have picked a worse day to hold this board meeting."

"Little Liu turned 16 today. She can already file for recognition and revoke the new agency contract that Lady Liu Xiaoli signed for her yesterday."

Boss Lu picked up the Wenjie contract offer again and handed it to Liu Yifei.

"Little Liu, as the Chairman of Wenjie Media, I formally suggest that you withdraw from Red Star Dock and invite you to join Wenjie. Wenjie will pay the 5 million penalty for your original contract."

Seeing Lu Kuan: *It's Liu Zeyu's money anyway. *

Liu Zeyu: *Actually, it's Cheng Jingfei's money. *

Cheng Jingfei: *I f*** your mother! *

As he said this, he didn't forget to turn back and smile at Liu Zeyu: "Thanks! Half of the military merit medal belongs to you!"

Liu Zeyu was furious and rushed to Liu Xiaoli's side in a panic: "Liu Ayi! Liu Xiaoli! We had an agreement!"

"Quickly persuade Yifei! Yanda Huayi has already reserved roles for her in these two movies!"

"It will absolutely make her one of the top-tier actresses in the country!"

Liu Xiaoli smiled awkwardly and shook her head at Liu Zeyu with an apologetic look.

*I'm sorry... *

*He gave too much. *

He gave Xixi a female lead role in a Hollywood co-production with a total investment of 70 million US dollars!

That's Hollywood!

Does the combined budget of your two movies even reach half of theirs...

Liu Zeyu took a deep breath, his face ashen, and collapsed into his chair.

Cheng Jingfei and Zhang Jizhong were afraid something would happen to him and hurriedly came over to support him.

In his eyes, their concerned looks seemed to carry a hint of pity...

Liu Zeyu could no longer bear this humiliation and left the conference room without looking back.

This scene was familiar.

Perhaps when the young Master Liu tossed and turned in his dreams at midnight, recalling everything that happened today, he would angrily say:

*It was not a crime of war! *

He had thought Seeing Lu Kuan would pull the rug out from under him, and he had thought Liu Yifei might resist, so he had greeted Liu Xiaoli in advance.

He used these two film contracts, which any actress in the current entertainment industry would go crazy for, to lock her in.

But how could he have imagined that Seeing Lu Kuan would have a 70-million-dollar Hollywood co-production project in his hands?

Or rather, in the entire mainland entertainment industry, apart from Liu Xiaoli and the previously mentioned Dong Shuangqiang who got a hint of wind, even Han Shanping didn't know the details.

And for Seeing Lu Kuan, this co-production was a purely commercial film with special effects, where the female lead was equivalent to a supporting role, and the box office mainly relied on Hollywood male stars to carry it.

Liu Yifei's age was a bit younger than the character, but she was tall, and the youthfulness of her face could be solved with makeup; these were minor issues.

The key was whether her current acting skills had reached the passing line for this role?

This was the main problem, but in order to pull the rug out from under Liu Xiaoli, who was waiting for the highest bidder, he could only use an expedient measure.

Cheng Jingfei and Zhang Jizhong followed Liu Zeyu out, leaving only Seeing Lu Kuan, Liu Yifei, her mother, and others in the conference room.

Boss Lu pulled an English script out of his bag like a magic trick.

"Little Liu, happy birthday. You helped me earn 30 million; this is your commission."

"Study the script and the character well. This role isn't very difficult."

Liu Xiaoli also patted her daughter's arm, telling her not to throw a tantrum anymore.

She had already drafted an acting contract for *Exotic Land* with Seeing Lu Kuan earlier.

But Seeing Lu Kuan had also stated beforehand that if her acting skills really couldn't reach the passing line, Wenjie would only provide her with other resources.

Given Liu Yifei's smooth career path over the past year, Seeing Lu Kuan's words had a high degree of credibility with her.

Otherwise, with the two film contracts from Liu Zeyu and Wang Xiaolei placed in front of her, she had to admit she was truly a bit tempted.

Any one of them would be a project that mainland actresses would fight tooth and nail for, right?

Boss Lu watched her flip through the two contracts for a long time and found it a bit funny.

*Why is she so angry this time? *

Liu Yifei looked up with a calm expression.

"Seeing Lu Kuan, you always say Liu Zeyu is happy too early. Aren't you also happy too early yourself?"

Everyone's expression seemed to be frozen in an instant.

Since she became famous, A-Fei and Yang Siwei, including Liu Xiaoli, hadn't heard anyone speak to Seeing Lu Kuan like this.

Let alone that the one saying this was Liu Yifei?

This innocent, natural ally of Seeing Lu Kuan?

Boss Lu frowned and still asked with a smile: "Still angry?"

Liu Yifei chuckled and looked at him with burning eyes.

"I will definitely withdraw from Red Star Dock. You don't need to pay the penalty; I can afford it myself."

"But I don't want the Wenjie contract either. You take it back."

Liu Xiaoli said anxiously: "Xixi! Don't talk nonsense!"

Yang Siwei also gathered around; she even wanted to touch Liu Yifei's head to see if her brain had been burned out.

She had been Liu Yifei's manager and personal assistant for almost a year.

Yang Siwei might know what the young girl felt about Seeing Lu Kuan even better than Liu Xiaoli did.

*What kind of stimulation did she receive? *

Seeing Lu Kuan couldn't smile now either.

"You guys go out first. I have something to say to Seeing Lu Kuan."

The remaining three looked at each other and could only retreat outside the conference room.

"Little Liu, one should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation. You've matured quite a bit in just half a day, haven't you?"

"Thanks to you."

Boss Lu's mouth twitched. *Damn it, the plot is wrong! *

"Little Liu, what I said before was all lies, all to lure Cheng Jingfei and Liu Zeyu..."

Liu Yifei walked straight up to him and stared into Seeing Lu Kuan's eyes.

"What you said then was the truth, and what you want to say now is the lie, right?"

Looking into Liu Yifei's eyes at such close range, Seeing Lu Kuan wanted to deny it, but he couldn't say a word.

She knew too much about his affairs.

Almost every time he coaxed an actress or lured a rival;

The good deeds and the dirty deeds, the young girl had seen them all, and perhaps even learned them in her mind...

This feeling was absurd; Seeing Lu Kuan felt like he had lifted a rock only to drop it on his own feet.

*This cultivation has gone crooked! *

Boss Lu carefully smoothed things out.

It seemed he had signed a 70-million-dollar Hollywood blockbuster acting contract with Liu Xiaoli;

Then helped Liu Yifei escape the sea of suffering that was Red Star Dock;

Then she suddenly said she wouldn't sign with Wenjie and wanted to go solo?!

*Isn't this my routine? *

*Are you really Murong Fu's cousin? You know how to shift the stars too? *

*Little Liu, why did you turn dark!? *

Liu Yifei suddenly smiled, and she also experienced the pleasure Seeing Lu Kuan felt in fooling others.

"Do you think I lied to you? Do you regret giving me this role?"

"Do you think I'm like that Dong Jie now?"

Seeing Lu Kuan looked at her expressionlessly.

He naturally didn't tend to believe that Liu Yifei could have such schemes.

But having been influenced by him for so long, perhaps it was really...

He never hesitated to use the greatest malice to speculate about others, in order to calculate and estimate the next move.

Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows: "Seeing Lu Kuan, put away your dirty thoughts. Not everyone is like you. I'm not that shameless."

She threw the script onto the desk: "Give it back to you."

She threw the table, but she hit Boss Lu's face.

"I know you are a very smart person. They all call you the 'Little Immortal,' as if nothing can be hidden from you."

"I admit, I have a tiny bit of affection for you."

"But that doesn't mean I will let myself be trampled on like those women. If you want to treat me like that, then you're dreaming."

"I'd rather not act, not be famous, and give up everything I have now, than make that kind of deal with you!"

Seeing Lu Kuan looked up innocently: "Deal? What deal?"

Liu Yifei ignored him, saying nothing.

It was a pity that such an obvious scrutiny was far from enough to make the shameless young director surrender and confess.

*Confess and be lenient, resist and be strict. *

Liu Yifei sneered: "What deal? Do I need to remind you?"

"The deal between Fan Bingbing and you, the deal between Jia Jingwen and you, including the deal between Jiang Yiyan and you that almost happened!"

*Fortunately, fortunately, she doesn't know about Yu Feihong. *

"Don't pretend. You didn't hide your dirty deeds from anyone. Do you think I'm only ten-something and don't understand anything?"

"Yu Dong took Tong Liya to the Ice Cellar Wang Mansion. Why did she stay until the end before coming out?"

*Holy crap, you're wronging me here! *

Seeing Lu Kuan was dumbfounded: "Liu Yifei! How can you slander people out of thin air!"

"I'm slandering you?"

"Zhuo Wei was absolutely right. 8 out of 10 actresses who work with you can't escape your poisonous hands."

"The remaining two, one is old, one is young. One is Rong Momo, and the other is me!"

*Zhuo Wei, you dog thief! *

Boss Lu looked up to the sky and sighed, feeling the bitterness of being insulted by words and having no way to refute.

Liu Yifei wanted to laugh at his broken-defense look, but quickly straightened her face.

"This, Yifei, listen to my explanation (excuse)!"

"I'm still young! I'm only in my early twenties. Young people make mistakes, and it's not necessarily their own reason. Look at the social environment, the original family, right? They all have an influence."

"This society must give young people a chance to make mistakes, right? Hehe."

Liu Yifei didn't take his bait: "Stop talking. I won't sign a contract with Wenjie. I want to set up my own studio."

"I admit that I can make it to today because you taught me acting, took me to film festivals, and gave me brilliant roles."

"I won't take advantage of you. Don't you often talk about equivalent exchange?"

"Alright then, from today until the day I turn 18, for two years, I'll sign a contract with you. All endorsements, film fees, and commercial performances will be arranged by you, and the proceeds will go to you. Is that okay?"

"Besides, I also had a hand in the 30 million you scammed from Liu Zeyu today!"

Absurd, too absurd. Seeing Lu Kuan had a sense of déjà vu of divorcing his wife and dividing the property.

He was speechless: "I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to find your mother!"

Seeing Lu Kuan made a move to get up and leave, but was pressed back into the chair by Liu Yifei.

*She's quite strong. No wonder she can eat so much. *

"It's useless to find her. You taught me. I'm 16. I can also use my own labor as a source of livelihood. I can make my own decisions about anything!"

"I see it clearly. The reason those women are manipulated by you is because you can control their resources, right?"

"I remember you said something when we were eating at the courtyard house."

"If you seek peace through war, peace will exist. If you have no strength yourself, you will sooner or later become an dispensable role."

"Seeing Lu Kuan, this is also what you taught me. Thank you."

Liu Yifei turned and left, leaving Boss Lu with a dumbfounded expression.

The conference room door was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and the three people looking at each other hurriedly cleared the way.

A-Fei entered the room, and Liu Xiaoli went to chase her daughter.

Yang Siwei was a bit confused; she was very awkward now...

The scolding of the boss toward A-Fei came from the conference room, which made her feel a bit fearful after hearing it.

This was probably settling the score for the day he didn't stop Liu Yifei, letting her break in and see his true face.

The room was slightly quieter, and A-Fei walked out with his head hanging low.

"Sister Siwei, the boss wants you to go in."

The conference room was filled with smoke. Yang Siwei didn't know how many cigarettes Boss Lu had smoked in less than ten minutes.

"Siwei, resign."

Yang Siwei was stunned: "Ah?"

*Because I stepped into the conference room with my left foot first? *

"Ah what ah? You're smart. Follow little Liu to the new company and report to me in time if anything happens."

"Oh!"

"Go."

"Come back!"

"Don't forget the task I just gave you."

Yang Siwei was puzzled: "What task?"

"Director Lu, hello. I am now the manager of Liu Yifei's studio. If there's nothing else, I'll go first."

Boss Lu was furious: "Damn it, everyone's wings are getting hard!"
