Chapter 540: Chapter 538 How is that possible?!
Zhao Xi shook her head, "No, it was Producer Wang from the drama team who called, said someone wanted to invest 20 million, and they want my wife kicked out of the drama team."
Song Sinian snorted, "Where does this beggar come from? 20 million and they want my wife out of the production?"
Zhao Xi, of course, also sneered at this matter.
She immediately handed Song Sinian the materials on He Wanshan, "This He Wanshan comes from R Country, is the president of the He Group. He had always done business relying on the Rimu Family, but recently, because of Pei Huai, the Rimu Family has grown, so..."
After going round in circles, it ended up being Pei Huai’s fault again.
Song Sinian tapped his fingertips, "Why does he want Zhaozhao to leave the production team?"
Lu Zhaozhao had not been to R Country, and it was even less likely that she had any interaction with this He Wanshan.
Furthermore, since He Wanshan was relying on the Rimu Family, if he knew that Lu Zhaozhao had a not-bad relationship with Pei Huai, he wouldn’t make a move against Lu Zhaozhao.
Zhao Xi sorted out the materials in her hands and placed them in front of Song Sinian again, "This woman named He Xintian is He Wanshan’s only daughter, spoiled since childhood. She had countless men at her beck and call in R country’s entertainment industry before..."
After that, Zhao Xi gave Song Sinian a brief introduction of how He Xintian used coercion and seduction in R Country to force male celebrities to become her lovers.
Song Sinian raised his hand to rub the center of his brows, clearly disgusted.
"So, she fell for a domestic star, hence she directly came to the mainland?"
His voice was flat but carried a hint of impatience.
Zhao Xi nodded, "Exactly, she’s set her sights on your wife’s lead actor Bai Qing, and then saw your wife as a rival, which led to their quarrel on set. Coincidentally, Fourth Young Master Xia and Pei Huai witnessed it, and then your wife beat her up."
A rare smile appeared on Song Sinian’s face, "As long as she didn’t suffer a loss, that’s good."
Zhao Xi had long become accustomed to Song Sinian’s partiality towards Lu Zhaozhao.
He nodded and said, "According to Producer Wang, that He Xintian not only wants to get my wife out of the team, but also... wants Fourth Young Master Xia and Pei Huai to be her boyfriends..."
Not only did Song Sinian find this woman disgusting, but so did he.
From her profile in R Country, he knew her private life was a complete mess, and now she wanted three men at once...
His values were shaken, it seemed their country really knew how to play, tsk tsk...
"Tell that Producer Wang, Song Group will add an investment of 40 million, then upgrade all of their security personnel, and from now on, throw out anyone from the He Family they see." Song Sinian pondered for a moment, then simply instructed Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi nodded again and again, "Don’t worry, sir, I will handle this matter immediately, and I will definitely not let that woman go to the set to disgust my wife."
Song Sinian nodded, hesitated for a moment, then added, "Let Producer Wang hint to Pei Huai about the intentions of the He Family father and daughter."
"!!!"
This was great!
He wondered how He Wanshan would react if he knew the man his daughter desired was the Family Head of the Rimu Family?
Tsk tsk... The thought itself was thrilling, and he suddenly felt an itch to deal with this matter right away!
After all, he revels in handling such juicy scandals!
In the evening, the sky gradually darkened.
Pei Huai was in his study, looking at the information sent from R Country, when he heard his mobile phone vibrating in the room.
He frowned slightly, seeing that the caller seemed to be the director from Lu Zhaozhao’s drama team, he pondered for a moment and still picked up.
"Hello? Director, what can I do for you?"
Although Pei Huai wasn’t working on the director’s set, he had worked with almost every well-known director in the entertainment circle, so he was an acquaintance.
Knowing the director wouldn’t contact him for no reason, he patiently asked.
Then he listened as the director coughed lightly, "Um... Pei Huai, do you remember the woman you met when you last came to the set?"
Pei Huai’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, he indeed had some memory of her—after all, she was a woman bold enough to covet his beloved.
He did remember her.
He hummed lightly, then waited for the director to continue.
The director, hearing that Pei Huai didn’t seem to intend to speak, quickly relayed everything Zhao Xi had instructed him to say.
"Pei Huai, that woman seems to be interested in you and Xia Wenyan. She got her father He Wanshan to invest 20 million in our drama team and wants you and Xia Wenyan both... both, to be her boyfriends."
Speaking of boyfriends, yet what difference was there to selling oneself?
And it was coercive.
Although the director wasn’t a stranger to such things in the entertainment industry, someone like He Xintian who shamelessly sought three men at once... It was his first time encountering such audacity.
It certainly was an eye-opener.
Pei Huai’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, "So, Director, you agreed?"
"Of course not!" The director didn’t even think before clearing himself of the matter.
He might not be some super-famous director, but he still had integrity.
Moreover, it was clear that the He Family father and daughter couldn’t compete with Song Group, and there was no need for him to get involved in this mess.
With Song Group already investing an additional 40 million, he could further optimize the equipment he had only dared dream of before.
Including the wardrobe, makeup, and props, to make them as good and detailed as possible.
Even though they used to have A-grade equipment, their generous benefactor, the Song Group, had nearly upgraded them to S-grade.
How could he not be excited?
If this script became a hit, his reputation in the industry would soar.
He looked forward to working on S-grade scripts in the future.
Pei Huai couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, "Then, Director, why are you telling me all this?"
The director sighed, "I just want to remind you and Xia Wenyan to be more cautious. I heard He Wanshan is from R Country, you know the place, it’s different from ours, they rely on these family and clan things, I hear he’s some important minister to the Rimu Family... quite powerful!"
"..."
Rimu Family?
Important minister?
Since when did this Family Head of the Rimu Family not remember having such a person?
Pei Huai’s dark eyes blinked in the twilight, "I understand, Director, I’ll be careful with this matter."
He had only been back in the country for a few days, and the Rimu Family already had a new "important minister"?
Pei Huai glanced at the documents on his computer desk, a sneer crossing his lips.
The director, thinking he had completed his task, was about to hang up, but then he thought that the matter was, after all, instructed by Song Sinian’s side.
He pondered for a moment and then emphasized to Pei Huai again, "Pei Huai, you’d best stay as far away as possible from that He Family father and daughter. I’ve heard that relying on the power of the Rimu Family, they’re quite influential in our country, so... you understand."
"..."
Pei Huai really wanted to say he didn’t understand.
