. The female lead in the film was also called Xiao Qian[4] who controlled the soul of a monster which called her Laolao.
Xiao Qian was also quick-witted. She grabbed onto Chu Qin"s arm, "Laolao, why are you dressed so coquettishly today, are you in heat[5]?" The style of Wanwan"s hosts had always leaned towards shooting their mouths off.
"Go away!" Chu Qin pushed her away in dislike, causing the audience to burst out into laughter. He was fully aware that Xiao Qin slipped yet Chu Qin didn"t intend to cover up for her at all. Instead, he directly used it as a joke, alleviating the awkward atmosphere in a minute.
Father Zhong raised his eyebrows slightly. This youngster was indeed somewhat interesting.
"You"re still watching, do you know it was this male vixen who seduced your son! Just looking at him makes me angry," Mother Zhong switched back to her soap operas once again.
"It"s not him who seduced your son, it was your son who seduced him," Father Zhong said plainly. Father Zhong was furious after Zhong Yibin came out of the closet and also got people to investigate. Without needing anyone to file a lawsuit, he found out after investigating that Chu Qin was Zhong Yibin"s boyfriend.
When Chu Qin was still competing at the national broadcasting station, Shengshi TV was still just a private broadcasting station. They couldn"t broadcast via satellite, so their ratings also suffered. At that time, Zhong Yibin was in the prime of youth and wanted to do the business well. Father Zhong also told him that if he could sign the compet.i.tion"s champion, he would hand Shengshi TV and Shengshi Entertainment over to him to manage.
Zhong Yibin really went ahead and even managed to get that lively youngster to sign under them. Due to Chu Qin"s immense popularity among youths at that time, Shengshi TV was also put under immense scrutiny. Chu Qin had no need to rely on Zhong Yibin to move up, he was his own greatest capital. No matter where he went, he would be that station"s pillar.
It was just a pity that he was a guy… Father Zhong let out a sigh.
"Popo, you can"t be like this! Wuwuwu[6]…" The channel changed again, this time to a dog blood[7] drama. Father Zhong rubbed his temples and went upstairs. His youngest son had to be fussed over from young and he took after his mother, headstrong and obstinate, lacking the ability yet wanting to boast about his merits. Lately, he had indeed improved by quite a bit after losing his memories. Was it really Chu Qin who knew how to educate him like what his eldest son said?
Just as he reached the staircase, Father Zhong turned back to look at his wife seated on the sofa and decided not to bring Zhong Yibin back home for the time being.
Seven days quickly went by and Hua Jiaxing was at the Director"s office waiting for the funds to enter the bank when his family"s secretary suddenly rushed in, "Director, something happened."
Hua Jiaxing"s heart thumped, "What happened?"
"The approval didn"t go through," The secretary said with a pale face, "The material submitted lacked a confirmation doc.u.ment. The Securities Regulatory Commission just notified us to resubmit."
Hua Jiaxing stood up heavily, "Why was a confirmation doc.u.ment missing, who was in charge of this?"
"The project department…" The secretary reported the name of the person-in-charge.
"Get him to come to my office," Hua Jiaxing"s eyes with filled with rage. The procedure didn"t go through, the funds wouldn"t arrive, and their land was about to be disappear.
The secretary went off in a flurry. Hua Jiaxing picked up his phone and called Yu Tang.
Yu Tang held a crystal goblet and swirled the iced c.o.ke inside. Walking to Song Xiao, who was currently reading a book, he pa.s.sed the cup to him and picked up the call.
Song Xiao ignored him, one hand raising the cup and the other holding the book up.
"Director Hua, this isn"t your first time doing a transaction involving shares correct?" Yu Tang drank a mouthful of c.o.ke from the cup held in his wife"s hand, "There is no such principle as advance payment."
Hua Jiaxing but no choice but to voice their urgent need for money to purchase land, "… The transaction has to be completed before the 28th. If advance payment isn"t possible then we won"t be selling the shares."
"Let"s do it like this," Yu Tang took back the gla.s.s cup and played with Song Xiao"s hand, "Continue the transfer procedures. Once I receive the transfer agreement, I will fork out the funds."
The transfer agreement would take effect as long as it was stamped with both parties" and the Securities Regulatory Commission"s seals. The procedure would take approximately three days, but it was possible for it to completed in two days if they rushed the process.
Hua Jiaxing expressed his grat.i.tude once again. Yu Tang was willing to pay half the amount once the transfer agreement was out. The Hua family was originally only lacking that small amount, so this half was sufficient.
After working against the clock incessantly, the transfer agreement finally landed in their hands on the last day. The employee delivering the material to Big Fish sped to Big Fish"s Yinyu Building and pa.s.sed it to Yu Tang. Yu Tang filled up the application form for the transfer of funds on the spot.
However, the Hua family didn"t receive the funds even after ending work. The bank the Hua family used stated that a sum of money was in the middle of transfer, but it was delayed by the national bank. Since it was a Friday, the national bank ended work at 3 o"clock in the afternoon. On their end, the funds had only been sent at 3.15pm and the services for handling transfers had already stopped.
This was also to say that Yu Tang had already sent them the money, but it was dangling in limbo, so they weren"t able to get a hold of it. They would need to wait till Monday at 8 o"clock in the morning before they would receive it. This was akin to a bolt from the blue.
And on the auction"s end, their work continued during the weekends. Since they had not received the funds, the right to purchase was automatically transferred to Shengshi Group. Zhong Yibin was at the venue waiting and once 5"o clock went by, he picked up the contract and signed his name.
