Chapter 151 Who said that? I, Yuan Yangyang, never do a losing business!
"Oh, right," Yuan Sixiao called to his assistant who was about to leave.
"My family is holding a family reunion banquet for Yuan Yangyang in a couple of days. Can you prepare a gift for me?"
Yuan Sixiao thought for a moment and concluded, "Don't make it too shabby, and don't make it too ordinary either, the best would be..."
"Fine, just give me a copy of the roster, I'll look at it myself!"
Assistant: "Okay, Brother Xiao."
The assistant, who was supposed to leave, hesitated for a moment, then stood rooted to the spot, looking troubled.
"Brother Xiao, Sister Gu Wen is here."
Yuan Sixiao frowned, his eyes filled with annoyance.
"What is she here for?"
The assistant glanced at Yuan Sixiao's expression and whispered, "It's probably still about that matter from before. The company wants Sister Gu Wen to be the female lead in your new song's music video."
"They also said that Sister Gu Wen has a good voice, so it would be perfect for her to sing a duet with you."
"Sister Gu Wen said she could lower her fee and make a cameo appearance."
Yuan Sixiao scoffed disdainfully, "Pshaw! Shameless! You're trying to smash the abacus beads in my face."
"Lower her salary? That sounds nice, but does she really think I don't know what she's up to? I wouldn't even take her for free!"
"Send her away, don't let her come and get in the way again."
"Tell the company that if I look at too much dirty stuff, I'll get headaches and eye pain, which will affect my creative work. I won't be responsible if things go wrong!"
The assistant responded and immediately carried out Yuan Sixiao's instructions.
I couldn't help but feel sorry for Yuan Sixiao.
The company is truly insatiable; they've made so much money off Brother Xiao, and they're still not satisfied.
They even tried to arrange a scandal involving someone and Xiao Ge to gain popularity.
It lay on top of Xiao Ge and sucked his blood.
Gu Wen is shameless. Back then, she was just an unknown nobody in the company, with no background or connections. She didn't know how many years she would have to work her way up before she could make it.
It was because Brother Xiao saw how hard she was working that he took pity on her and helped her a few times.
As it turned out, the other party was like a piece of chewing gum, relentlessly trying to ride on Xiao Ge's popularity, and wouldn't let go once they started.
She actually got an opportunity, caught the eye of the higher-ups, and soared to great heights.
Now that Xiao Ge's new song is about to be released, they're like dogs that have smelled meat, wagging their tails and eagerly coming over.
They're shameless, trying every possible way to leech off Brother Xiao.
They even said they'd lower their fees to sing a duet, but they're clearly just trying to reap the benefits. How shameless!
With a company and colleagues like this, it's no wonder that Brother Xiao hasn't renewed his contract yet.
The assistant felt that Xiao Ge was most likely not going to renew his contract.
The company may have realized this, which is why they have been exploiting Xiao Ge even more excessively.
I wish Brother Xiao would work 24/7 to make money for me.
Even Zhou Bapi would have to admit defeat in comparison.
Yuan Yangyang had already had lunch served.
It's rare for the whole family to get together like this and sit down for a meal.
Yuan Sizhe's phone rang after he had only taken a few bites.
Yuan Sizhe looked at the caller and then looked at his father to ask.
"Why would Mr. Jiang from the Jiang family call me? Shouldn't he be calling you?"
After all, it was quite an honor for President Jiang to personally call a junior like him.
People in this circle usually value their reputation and wouldn't do that.
Mr. Yuan picked up a string bean and put it in his mouth, answering without any hesitation.
"Oh, my phone is dead and turned off."
Yuan Sizhe's lips twitched, and he looked at his father with a complicated expression.
My phone has been charging all morning; even if it were a bottomless pit, it should be fully charged by now.
It's obvious they're just being lazy and don't want to turn on the computer to deal with these people. What excuse are they making?
Yuan Sizhe then looked at Yuan Yangyang and asked.
"Yangyang, should we answer it?"
"Go ahead and answer. I want to see what he has to say. If he dares to cause trouble, I'll continue to go crazy online and see who can outlast whom."
Seeing Yuan Yangyang's fighting stance, Yuan Sizhe found it amusing.
He doesn't think so.
Right now, the other party is probably as anxious as an ant on a hot pan; they have no energy left to cause trouble.
They probably wish for a reconciliation.
The call connected, and within a few words, Yuan Sizhe's guess was confirmed.
After glancing at Yuan Yangyang, Yuan Sizhe said unhurriedly, "Uncle Jiang, I think what you said makes sense, but I can't make decisions for Yangyang."
"My Yangyang has suffered so much, and now you're suddenly asking her to take off her Weibo account? That's not fair!"
After hearing what the other person said, Yuan Sizhe's lips curled into a slight smile, and anyone could tell he was very satisfied.
He pretended to be hesitant and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee I can convince Yangyang."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Yuan Yangyang and got straight to the point.
"Yangyang, the Jiang family wants you to remove the scarf."
Yuan Yangyang didn't even look up. "I won't take it down. Who does he think he is? He can just talk his way out of things and expect me to take down my Weibo post. Don't I, Yuan Yangyang, have any dignity?!"
"So many netizens forwarded and commented on this. I'm a person of principle and conscience, and I can't ignore these people!"
Yuan Yangyang's refusal was righteous and forceful.
Yuan Sizhe: "The Jiang family said that if you agree, they will immediately give you ten million, plus five percent of the shares in their paper mill."
"So generous, big brother, you're not lying to me, are you?" Yuan Yangyang's eyes lit up, eager to confirm.
Actually, I already had the answer in my heart.
My older brother wouldn't try to persuade her with something like this.
This shows that the Chiang family is in a hurry.
It seems that the influence of online public opinion is greater than she imagined, which is why the Jiang family was forced to offer such tempting terms.
I'd rather suffer a huge financial loss than let her delete her Weibo account.
"So what do you mean?" Yuan Sizhe asked.
"Yes, yes, a hundred times willing! It's just taking off the scarf, no big deal!" Yuan Yangyang nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
"What about your reputation? How are you going to explain this to those netizens?"
"Where are your principles? Where is your conscience?" Yuan Sizhe teased.
Yuan Yangyang waved her hand, completely unaffected by him.
He declared righteously, "Face is worth nothing. That's ten million, plus five percent of the shares! Only a fool wouldn't take it."
"But you're absolutely right about one thing, brother!"
“I’m a man of principle. I told the Chiang family that as long as they have the money, I’ll immediately withdraw from Weibo!”
"Give him a 50 million yuan after-sales service package, and he'll make a 40 million yuan profit. He got a good deal!"
Everyone who heard this wanted to laugh.
Mr. Yuan said, "Don't agree yet. Eldest son, go and talk to the Jiang family. We don't want the paper mill shares. In exchange, we want two percent of their pharmaceutical company. Otherwise, forget it."
Yuan Sizhe gasped. "Old ginger is spicier."
When they strike, they strike with deadly precision.
The most profitable business of the Chiang family is their pharmaceutical company.
“Okay, I’ll go talk to him now,” Yuan Sizhe replied and made the call.
Soon after, good news arrived: "The Jiang family has agreed to give 1.5% of the shares, and the previously promised 10 million remains unchanged."
"As soon as Yuan Yangyang removes the trending topic, someone will immediately send over the gift contract."
"Retreat! Retreat immediately!"
Yuan Yangyang took out her phone and started operating it; hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to the money.
"It's a real bargain for the Yu family. They picked up such a huge windfall by following in the footsteps of the Jiang family," Yuan Si'an sighed.
Yuan Yangyang raised an eyebrow, her face full of ill intent.
"Who said that? I, Yuan Yangyang, never do business at a loss!"
