Chapter 644 Why Are You So Self-Willed?
Li Meiyu replied, “You’ve helped us a lot and the Li family would not be what it is now without you. So you really should take this sum of money.”
Qin Haodong waved his hand and said, “Keep it for me first and I’ll take it when I need it.”
Li Meiyu said, “You must take it, anyway. And I’ll keep it for you until tomorrow. If you don’t take it then, I’ll transfer it to Sister Momo.”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Well, have it your own way.”
At this moment, the RV stopped. Qin Haodong and Li Meiyu got out of the car and saw a splendid club in front of them.
The building was luxuriously furnished and perhaps only the Seven-star Hotel in Dubai which they had seen in the video could match it. But strangely, there was no signboard here.
Li Meiyu seemed to have read his mind and explained, “This is the private club of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce. It is designed based on the standards of a seven-star hotel. Besides, it has never been open to the public, so there’s no signboard here.”
Then she took Qin Haodong by his arm and walked into the building with him.
The banquet would begin about half an hour later, but a lot of guests had already arrived. They gathered in groups of twos and threes, talking with each other while looking for business opportunities for their own companies.
These things seemed annoying, but they had to be done. As the new president of the Li family, Li Meiyu had to mingle with the upper cla.s.ses of Hong Kong.
She knew that Qin Haodong did not like these affairs, so she said, “Haodong, sit here for a while. I’ll be back soon.”
“Don’t worry. Just go about your business.”
Li Meiyu nodded at him apologetically and then joined the crowd, holding a gla.s.s of wine in her hands.
This was a buffet reception and the club had prepared all the different delicacies. Qin Haodong chose some of his favorite food, poured himself a gla.s.s of wine and then sat down in a quiet corner to enjoy his food.
While he was eating, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Ouyang Shanshan, who was in Hong Kong for a commercial performance. He did not expect they would meet so unexpectedly here.
But she looked grumpy and was walking over in a hurry.
She was followed by a middle-aged man in his forties, who was wearing a designer suit. With gold-rimmed gla.s.ses and a gold watch on his wrist, he looked exactly like a man in the upper cla.s.s. But his eyes were filled with an obscene leer, which seemed annoying.
The middle-aged man did not notice Qin Haodong who was sitting in the corner. He grabbed Ouyang Shanshan by her arm and said, “Shanshan, please don’t be childish. We can’t afford to offend Mr. Gong.
“Besides, I just want you to have a drink with him. I do not see any problem with that.”
Ouyang Shanshan shouted in great anger, “Mr. Liang, didn’t you see that the playboy wanted to drink ‘cross-cupped wine’ from my gla.s.s?”
The middle-aged man said, “Shanshan, we’re here to earn a living and this is just in good fun. Why are you taking it so seriously? Come back with me now, apologize to Master Gong and have a drink with him happily. Maybe the situation could still be remedied.”
Ouyang Shanshan said, “That’s impossible. I won’t apologize to him, let alone have a cross-cupped drink with him.”
The middle-aged man’s face clouded over and he said in a cold voice, “Ouyang Shanshan, don’t forget that you work for our company and have to follow our arrangements. You’re just a worker, not some kind of G.o.ddess. You have to do it today and there’s no other choice.”
Ouyang Shanshan said angrily, “Why? I’m an actress, not a hooker. I will never do such lewd things!”
The middle-aged man seemed to have completely lost his patience and said ironically, “We all mingle together in the entertainment circle, so don’t pretend that you are still a virgin.
“To tell you the truth, Master Gong took a fancy to you and just wanted to sleep with you. You have to accept it if you want to work here. You have no other choices.”
“Liang Keqin, what the h.e.l.l are you talking about!” Ouyang Shanshan was enraged and cursed in great anger, which was rare for her, “Let me tell you, I do work for your Shengtian Entertainment Company, but we’ve signed an agreement and I can leave at any time.”
“Leave?” Liang Keqin sneered and then said proudly, “You’ve underestimated my power in the entertainment circle. As long as you leave, I can guarantee that no entertainment company will dare to hire you.
“At that time, you’ll be kicked out of the entertainment circle. You’ll be completely forgotten by society in a few years, even though you’re a popular star now.”
Ouyang Shanshan said coldly, “It’s none of your business. From now on, I am officially terminating the contract I have with your company and I have nothing to do with you now!”
Liang Keqin was slightly stunned. He thought that Ouyang Shanshan was just joking and did not expect that this woman would actually terminate the agreement with him.
He had been working in the entertainment circle for many years and had also slept with countless beauties. But she was the toughest actress he had ever come across.
“B*tch, who do you think you are? We’re in Hong Kong now and I’m the Boss. Do you think you can do whatever you want? That’s impossible! You must satisfy Master Gong today.”
Liang Keqin reached out to grab her while talking.
At this moment, a cold voice came from the side, “f.u.c.k off.”
Liang Keqin did not expect that there was someone else there, so he was startled by the sudden sound. He turned around and saw a young man standing there with a cold face.
“Haodong!”
Ouyang Shanshan also saw Qin Haodong. She was surprised that the man she had been thinking about day and night was actually here. She threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
Seeing that the woman he had been thinking about for a long time had thrown herself into the arms of another man, Liang Keqin was enraged and looked at him coldly, “Who are you?”
He did not take this young man seriously because he was dressed so casually.
Qin Haodong ignored him and wiped away Ouyang Shanshan’s tears as he asked, “What’s going on? Aren’t you working in the Doukou Entertainment Company? Why are you in Shengtian now? Did Liu Huaqiang betray you?”
As he spoke, his eyes flashed with anger.
Ouyang Shanshan calmed down and said, “It’s not what you think. In fact, Liu Huaqiang had no choice…”
After he heard her explanation, Qin Haodong finally understood. Liu Huaqiang was a lecherous man and trusted his lover to handle the financial affairs in his company. But this woman suddenly absconded with all his money away a few days ago and ran away with a toy boy.
The sudden collapse of the capital chain led to the bankruptcy of his company. He had no choice but to sell his company to the Shengtian Entertainment in Hong Kong and the boss was Liang Keqin.
Ouyang Shanshan added, “In fact, Liu Huaqiang is a nice guy and canceled my contract before selling his company. Now I’m free and am no longer subject to any restrictions of the contract.”
Liang Keqin, who was standing next to them, sneered and said, “What a stupid girl. I’ve told you that the f*cking contract is useless. No one will dare to sign the contract with you without my permission. At that time, you can only stay home and be a housewife.”
Qin Haodong glanced at him and said to Ouyang Shanshan, “Well, then we won’t sign the contract with any companies.”
Liang Keqin said ironically, “I thought that you had found a big shot. But he just asked you to quit your job. You have to realize that it’s difficult to maintain the popularity you have enjoyed for the past years and once you give up, everything will be lost. You can’t be what you’re now.”
Qin Haodong said, “Yes, your previous efforts can’t be wasted. Well, let’s invest in a new entertainment company and you will be the boss and do whatever you want. n.o.body can control or threaten you anymore.”
Liang Keqin sneered and said, “Ignorant boy, do you think opening an entertainment company is as easy as opening a little shop? Hundreds of thousands of yuan is not even enough and people like you can only wait and see!”
Ouyang Shanshan said in a low voice, “Yes, Haodong, although I’ve earned some money over the past years, it’s still far from enough to set up an entertainment company.”
Qin Haodong asked, “Then how much does it cost to set up an entertainment company?”
Ouyang Shanshan said, “Even the ordinary entertainment company will cost about 500 or 800 million yuan. A big company like Shengtian is worth at least 1.5 billion yuan.”
Liang Keqin sneered and said, “Did you hear that? 1.5 billion yuan is a huge sum of money and I believe that you have never seen so much money in your life.”
At this time, many people in the banquet looked over. Li Meiyu also noticed that something wrong and walked over to them.
Seeing that the daughter of the Li family coming over, Liang Keqin was excited and greeted her flatteringly, “Miss Li, nice to meet you!”
Li Meiyu just ignored him and turned to Qin Haodong and asked, “Haodong, what’s going on here?”
She also found Ouyang Shanshan and said hurriedly, “Sister Shanshan, why are you here too?”
“It’s nothing. Shanshan met a dog.” Qin Haodong explained to Li Meiyu and said, “About the 2 billion yuan? I need it now.”
“Oh, it’s here!”
Li Meiyu did not know why Qin Haodong suddenly wanted this sum of money, but she directly took the check out from her bag.
Qin Haodong took the check and handed it over to Ouyang Shanshan, “Here is 2 billion yuan, take it and set up an entertainment company. You’re the boss now and don’t have to follow the orders of a dog.”
“What…No, I can’t take this.”
Ouyang Shanshan did not expect that Qin Haodong would suddenly give her so much money and she did not know what to do now.
Qin Haodong said, “Just take it. It’s also my investment and I’ll take half of the share.”
Liang Keqin was completely dumbfounded. His Shengtian Entertainment Company was worth 1.5 billion yuan, but it did not belong to him. There were several major shareholders besides him.
But this ignorant boy could fork out so much money to set up an entertainment company. Who was he? Why did he not even consider the consequences before making such a big decision?
