Chapter 266 Congratulations to Jiang Zhao for jumping into the fire pit
Jiang Youli said, "That's exactly the effect we want. Yang Yufan is a movie star with a good reputation, a clean record, many fans, and a big influence. If he were to have a scandal, it would definitely cause a huge uproar in the entertainment industry, and the drama 'Legend of Fuyao' would naturally be canceled."
Yu Linglong, however, thought it was unlikely. "If Yang Yufan really had some earth-shattering secret, it would have been exposed long ago. How come it's been so long since any dirt on him that could shake his position has been unearthed?"
"That's just because it was hidden well enough."
Although Yu Linglong had doubts, she still chose to believe Jiang Youli.
"I see."
"But you, are you sure you've thought this through? Are you really determined to take control of Dafeng Entertainment at any cost, even if it means significant losses for the company?"
When Yu Linglong heard Jiang Youli ask this, she firmly replied, "Dafeng Entertainment was built by my mom and dad through hard work. In the end, everyone thought it was my dad's achievement and my mom's good fortune. But what good fortune did my mom enjoy? Because she suffered with my dad, stayed up all night, socialized, and poured her heart and soul into it, she developed a lot of health problems. In the end, when outsiders thought the good days were coming, she learned that her husband had a mistress and had a son who was only three years younger than her daughter. She fell ill from anger and didn't last long before passing away."
“Actually, my mother’s illness could have been gradually cured with proper treatment. But her lover couldn’t wait. Her company was doing well, and she had a son. She wanted to become the official wife immediately, so she deliberately revealed her existence to my mother. That’s why my mother’s condition worsened, and she passed away not long after.”
“A week after my mother died, my father brought that woman and his illegitimate child home. How could I tolerate that!”
Yu Linglong's tone was full of hatred as she spoke.
"Before my mother passed away, she transferred all the shares of her company to me. Her only instruction was that the company must not fall into the hands of my father's illegitimate son, even in death!"
"So, if I can't get Dafeng Entertainment, I'll make it go bankrupt! I will never let Yu Zhanzhi's illegitimate son reap the rewards my mother planted!"
Yu Linglong practically gritted her teeth as she said the last sentence.
Jiang Youli said, "I understand. Since you are so determined, I am naturally willing to cooperate with you and help you. However, I will not do business at a loss. So, my help to you is conditional. After I help you deal with your father's illegitimate son, you have to sell all of your shares in Dafeng Entertainment to me at the market price."
Yu Linglong knew that Jiang Youli was planning to acquire Dafeng Entertainment.
But she had no other choice. She didn't have the power to bring down Yu Zhanzhi and his illegitimate child, so she might as well give up Dafeng Entertainment, sell her shares and cash out. With what she earned, it would be enough for her to live a carefree life for the rest of her life. So she said, "No problem, I have 20% of the shares, I can sell them all to you."
Jiang Youli then reminded him, "My people said that Long Yuan found Jiang Yonghe and took her away. So Jiang Yonghe may have already told Long Yuan about how you helped me take Jiang Yonghe away. You need to be careful about Long Yuan's movements recently. If you feel anything is wrong, let me know immediately, because as far as I know, Long Yuan has been making some rather dangerous moves lately."
Yu Linglong was taken aback, then said, "I understand. I will be careful. I know you want to bring down the Long family, so I will also try to get the relevant evidence of Long Yuan's crimes for you."
Jiang Youli said, "I'll figure out how to handle the evidence. Just be careful about your personal safety."
"Okay." Yu Linglong suddenly felt like crying. She hadn't felt cared for in a long time, and she never expected to feel it from a woman she hadn't known for very long.
……
In the chairman's office of Dafeng Entertainment, only Director Yu and his son Yu Hongtu remained.
Yu Hongtu frowned, looked at his father, and said firmly, "Dad, regarding the new drama 'Soaring High,' I don't think the male lead should be Zhou Zerui, as my sister suggested."
Chairman Yu looked at his son with some surprise. He hadn't expected Yu Hongtu to have such strong opinions about the casting, so he asked, "Why? You're not just trying to go against your sister, are you?"
Yu Hongtu quickly shook his head and explained, "Dad, how could I be the kind of person who acts on impulse? I just feel that my sister came all the way here just to bring up the matter of letting Zhou Zerui play the male lead, and there must be something wrong with that. I'm worried that my sister has feelings for Zhou Zerui, and if they develop feelings for each other because of this drama, it will anger Young Master Long, and then we'll be in big trouble. My suggestion is entirely for the company's sake."
Chairman Yu nodded thoughtfully after listening to Yu Hongtu's words.
He felt that his son's concerns were not unfounded. After all, Young Master Long had a significant impact on their family's business. If they offended Young Master Long because of the casting issue, leading to the failure of the marriage alliance, the consequences would indeed be unimaginable.
“Yes, you’re right,” Chairman Yu said. “At this critical juncture, we absolutely cannot offend Young Master Long, and we cannot let this marriage fall through.” He pondered for a moment, then said, “How about this, you go and investigate Zhou Zerui’s background and reputation, and see what kind of person he really is. If he really has any problems, we will reconsider the choice of the male lead.”
Dafeng Entertainment is now relying on its past achievements. Although it is nominally a long-established entertainment company in Beijing, it is actually under a lot of pressure from many new entertainment companies.
However, if the company has the backing of the Long family, receives investment from them, and acquires some small entertainment companies on their behalf, it can obtain good resources as soon as possible and stabilize its position.
“Okay,” Yu Hongtu said.
Chairman Yu was very satisfied. "Hong'er, it seems you've grown up. I'm very relieved to hand over the company to you in the future."
Yu Hongtu said, "My father has such high hopes for me, so naturally I can't let him down."
Chairman Yu smiled with satisfaction. Once his daughter successfully married Long Yuan and his son smoothly took over the company, he would truly have a fulfilling life.
……
After hanging up with Yu Linglong, Jiang Youli leaned back in her office chair and called Ye Ying.
"Investigate the background of Yu Zhanzhi, chairman of Dafeng Entertainment, and his illegitimate son Yu Hongtu thoroughly. Make sure they are completely disgraced."
"I understand, boss."
Jiang Youli tossed her phone onto the desk, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes to rest.
Doodle.
The phone vibrated.
She rested for five minutes before slowly opening her eyes and picking up her phone to check.
It's Jiang Zhao's message again.
[Xiao Li, Dafeng Entertainment is willing to pay my contract termination fee. They believe I can become a huge star. I'll ask you one more time, are you really not going to forgive me and keep me at Starlight Entertainment to maximize my potential?]
Jiang Youli replied with a cold laugh: [Congratulations on jumping into the fire!]
