Chapter 521: 【521】Three billion? Are you kidding?_1
“Mr. Lou, please don’t listen to that bitch’s nonsense, she must be harboring resentment because I didn’t invest in her film, and that’s why she’s badmouthing me to you.”
Liu Chuanxiang’s words were earnest and rather misleading.
Lou Wanyu scoffed incessantly, “It’s not that Mr. Yan reported on you, but I took the initiative to call her new investor, who told me about it.”
Liu Chuanxiang’s mind flashed with the image of Tang Feng, fueling his hatred even more.
Little bastard, I’ll deal with you too when the time comes!
“Mr. Lou, that guy and Yan Min are in cahoots, deliberately causing disharmony within our company. Please don’t be fooled by them.”
“Is that so?”
“Absolutely true!” Seeing that Lou Wanyu was unconvinced, Liu Chuanxiang started to play the emotional card, “Wanyu, we’re old classmates. Inside the company, I’ve always been on your side. Even if you don’t trust others, don’t you trust me?”
Mentioning this only infuriated Lou Wanyu even more.
He slammed the table with a “bang” and stood up from his chair.
“Don’t give me that nonsense. I’ve been told about your kickbacks a long time ago. Before, because you had made significant contributions to the company, I could turn a blind eye.”
“But now, you’ve caused major losses for the company one after another. I think, you’re no longer suitable to continue as the investment department manager.”
“You, go write your resignation letter right now and hand it to me; I don’t want to see you again.”
Lou Wanyu virtually roared these words out, his expression somewhat fierce.
Liu Chuanxiang was stunned on the spot.
He thought he’d just be scolded and that would be the end of it, but he didn’t expect to be asked to resign, which made him desperately plea.
“Wanyu, you can’t fire me, I’ve made significant achievements for the company, you can’t just discard me once I’m no longer useful…”
“Discard you once you’re no longer useful? Heh.” Lou Wanyu laughed coldly, “Putting up with you until today has already been polite enough. I don’t want to waste words with you, get out immediately.”
“I won’t leave. I’ve been working my ass off for Huanhai Entertainment for so many years, why should I be kicked out?” Liu Chuanxiang tried to be defiant.
Lou Wanyu was already out of patience, “You won’t leave, is that it? Well then, I’ll call the police right now and investigate your embezzlement and kickbacks. If you are innocent, I might let bygones be bygones.”
Hearing this, Liu Chuanxiang instantly turned pale with fright.
If his misdeeds were to be discovered, it wouldn’t just be a matter of resigning and getting out, he would very likely end up in prison.
“Don’t… don’t call the police, I… I’ll leave…”
He didn’t dare to talk back anymore and scurried away in a dejected manner.
Lou Wanyu snorted coldly, picked up the script for “I Am Not the God of Medicine” and glanced at it again, unable to help but let out a long sigh.
Such a great movie, and it just slipped past him like this.
This Mr. Tang really has an excellent eye!
…
“The boss of Huanhai Entertainment actually called personally, wanting to buy your share at twice the price?”
Xu Xinling looked at Tang Feng with disbelief.
She had always thought Tang Feng decided to invest in Yan Min’s movie just to save her face.
Deep down, she was still worried that the movie’s box office might not be very promising, causing Tang Feng to lose money.
But now even the big boss of Huanhai Entertainment took the initiative to call.
Having been in the film industry for so many years, his judgment must be better than most.
Does that mean the film could actually be a blockbuster?
Tang Feng appeared indifferent, “Just twice the price for my share? Dream on.”
Xu Xinling was somewhat dumbfounded, “Twice the price is still not enough?”
This was a surefire deal.
Without any risk, she could make a huge profit immediately.
Knowing Tang Feng as she did, not taking the chance to make money was not in his nature.
“You believe it or not, once this movie is released, its box office will be at least this amount.” Tang Feng held up three fingers.
“Three… billion?”
Xu Xinling said a number uncertainly.
Actually, she wanted to say thirty million, but it seemed too little—it wouldn’t even recover the investment, so she changed it to “three billion.”
But that seemed too unlikely.
A movie with a total investment of just over fifty million, if it could bring in three billion in box office, that would be a huge hit.
“It’s thirty billion.” Tang Feng lightly spat out a number.
“Pfft…”
Xu Xinling was startled by the number, “How… how much? Thirty billion? You’re joking, right?”
Though she’d never made a movie, she knew predicting box office earnings was very difficult.
Many movies that are hyped before release could flop once they hit cinemas.
And there are movies that nobody expects to do well, yet become box office dark horses once released.
So nobody dares to claim that a film will definitely be a massive hit.
But Tang Feng not only dared to make this claim, but also said the film would gross thirty billion in the box office.
That’s simply impossible!
Even though she also felt the movie was very good, she didn’t believe it could achieve such a high box office.
“How about we make a bet?” Tang Feng raised his eyebrows at her with a sly smile.
“Bet what?” Xu Xinling asked curiously.
“If this movie earns thirty billion at the box office after its release, you’ll be my…”
“Be your what?” Xu Xinling was flustered, fearing he would ask for something outrageous.
“Be my bodyguard for a year, the personal kind.” Tang Feng built up the suspense, then suddenly changed directions, offering a condition that surprised Xu Xinling.
“Bodyguard? Do you even need a bodyguard?” Xu Xinling was puzzled.
She had firsthand experience of Tang Feng’s abilities, which could only be described as terrifying; even ten of her put together were no match for him.
“Of course. I’m now a multimillionaire, I can’t handle every situation myself, can I? I need a few lackeys around to complement my style, don’t I?” Tang Feng believed his conditions were entirely reasonable.
“Who’s your lackey?”
Xu Xinling glared at him annoyance and finally clenched her teeth, “Fine, I agree. But if the box office doesn’t reach thirty billion, you’ll be my bodyguard for a year.”
“Also the personal kind? I have no problem with that.” Tang Feng agreed without hesitation.

Xu Xinling’s face suddenly turned red, “Damn you, who said you could get personal? Dream on.”
