427: Chapter 402: The Chairwoman 427: Chapter 402: The Chairwoman Getting closer and closer... This guy couldn’t be about to wake up, could he... It seems like there’s a nice smell on him... I should just kiss him and then think about it... Should I kiss him or not... After all, I’m a girl, shouldn’t I be a bit reserved... Anyway, he won’t know so it doesn’t matter anymore... Shi Qing’er was having an internal struggle, suddenly made her decision, puckered Zhu Run’s lips and quickly touched Liu Hun’s face, then immediately retreated. It seemed... there was no feeling at all; it was nothing like how it was on TV, she thought unwillingly and puckered her lips to try again. “Ah! That’s really prickly!” Suddenly, Shi Qing’er shouted and jumped out of Liu Hun’s arms. With her loud shout, Liu Hun also woke up immediately, vigilantly looked around and saw Shi Qing’er standing in front of him holding her lips with an extremely odd expression, not understanding what had happened. “Qing’er... what were you shouting just now?” Liu Hun asked, confused. “Nothing... nothing,” Shi Qing’er quickly shook her head, she wouldn’t tell Liu Hun that when she kissed him, she closed her eyes and missed, landing on his stubble. “It’s okay then... I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn’t wake you, but I didn’t expect I’d fall asleep too.” Liu Hun said, shaking his head with a wry smile, seeming a bit embarrassed. “Mhm mhm mhm,” Shi Qing’er nodded, her eyes darting, unsure if Liu Hun had noticed her actions just now. “Alright, if everything’s fine, let’s go. The media should have left by now.” Liu Hun checked his watch and said to Shi Qing’er, then started to walk downstairs. “Wait! My... my foot is a bit uncomfortable, you should carry me instead,” Shi Qing’er lied with her head down, her two hands twisting together. Liu Hun didn’t think twice and bent down, saying, “Come on!” Shi Qing’er giggled, immediately jumped onto Liu Hun’s back and couldn’t help but shout, “Giddy up!” After the two returned home, Shi Qing’er felt much more relaxed, unsure if it was from venting her anger beating up Cheng Yuxuan or from secretly kissing Liu Hun twice. As soon as Liu Hun entered the room to change clothes, he heard his phone ring. He picked it up and saw it was Zhong Xiao calling, “Hello, Zhong Xiao, how did things turn out?” “Liu Boss, I’m sorry, I failed in my responsibilities, and someone took the surveillance video before we could get it,” Zhong Xiao said with a tone of self-reproach on the other end of the phone. “Taken? Who took it?” Liu Hun asked, perplexed. “He sent me a message, and I’ve already forwarded it to you,” Zhong Xiao replied to Liu Hun. Liu Hun took a look at his phone and read the message: Liu Hun, if you don’t want Shi Qing’er’s future ruined by this incident, then safely keep the things you previously filmed about me, and let’s have an unspoken agreement and compete fairly in the future, without playing tricks. Otherwise, it’s bad for everyone. Liu Hun snorted coldly after reading the message, surprised that Ma Lin was quite clever in knowing to use those things to threaten him, and he understood that neither party trusted the other, and that even if these things were exchanged countless times, there would definitely be secret backups, so it was better for both to abandon using these things as threats. Liu Hun thought about it and then said to Zhong Xiao, “This isn’t your fault, you and the brothers have worked hard, there’s no need for self-reproach, get some rest.” After saying that, he hung up the phone and sent Ma Lin another message: Shi Qing’er’s incident could at most be considered a dispute, whereas you were involved in organizing an indecent gathering which carries criminal responsibility. Do you think this kind of trade is fair? Within a minute, Ma Lin texted back: Liu Hun, don’t go too far. What do you want? Liu Hun sent the final message to Ma Lin: I’ll agree to your terms, but I have one more condition. You need to find a way to suppress the media, to minimize the impact of this incident; that’s my bottom line, no room for negotiation. Since you want to enter the entertainment industry, you should be able to handle this much, right? A few minutes later, Ma Lin replied: Fine, I agree, but don’t play any tricks, otherwise it’s bad for everyone. Liu Hun hung up the phone, thinking that although he would lose something to threaten Ma Lin with, as long as he kept it in his hands, Ma Lin wouldn’t dare do anything too outrageous, and Shi Qing’er’s future was always the most important. Indeed, the power of the Ma Family, who were preparing to enter the entertainment industry, should not be underestimated. In various media outlets, only snippets appeared, and none mentioned names; thus, the incident of Shi Qing’er hitting someone was settled just like that. Liu Hun put down the newspaper, guessing that the Ma Family must have spent quite a bit of money. The media could be bought, everything has a price, but he wouldn’t do such a foolish thing; to be able to use it without spending a penny would be best. “Ding ding ding... ding ding ding...” Just as Liu Hun put down the newspaper, the phone by his side rang. He saw it was from Lin Xiaoxiang and immediately picked up, “Assistant Lin, what’s up?” “Agent Liu, quickly turn on the TV to the financial news!” Lin Xiaoxiang said urgently on the other end of the line. “What’s happened?” Liu Hun asked with some confusion. “Just watch and you’ll see,” Lin Xiaoxiang continued to urge. Liu Hun took the phone away and told Shi Qing’er, who was sitting on the sofa eating chips, “Qing’er, turn to the finance channel.” “No! I want to watch SpongeBob!” Shi Qing’er refused outright without even looking back. “Just one minute! It’ll only take one minute,” Liu Hun gently pleaded. “Only one minute!” Shi Qing’er held up one finger and then pressed down on the remote control with her delicate foot. “...This morning, Shi Yuqian, the chairman of Yinyue Group, sold 81.2% of his shares in the Yinyue Group to the Ma Group at a price of 5.7 yuan per share, officially completing the entire transaction. This deal signifies the Ma Group’s expansion from their stronghold in the financial sector to the entertainment industry by acquiring the fourth-ranked Yinyue Group. It also suggests the Ma Group’s powerful ambition. With the entry of the Ma Group, it’s expected to signal changes to the future landscape of the entertainment industry...” “...Patrick Star! Patrick Star! Come out...” Shi Qing’er switched the channel back with her toes and then said to Liu Hun, “Time’s up!” Liu Hun, with a face full of helplessness, picked up the phone and spoke to Lin Xiaoxiang, “Assistant Lin, I’ve seen the news. It seems that Nandou Studio will have to look for another path.” “Manager Liu, what are you planning to do next?” Lin Xiaoxiang asked over the phone. Liu Hun thought for a moment. He still remembered the bet with the Han Family of the Lu’an Group, and now it was time to start his own company. So he said to Lin Xiaoxiang, “Let’s meet and talk about it.” Since the allure of SpongeBob was far greater than the preparation and establishment of a company, it was rare for Shi Qing’er not to follow Liu Hun on this occasion. Liu Hun met Lin Xiaoxiang at the Peninsula Coffee House. Lin Xiaoxiang seemed somewhat anxious and quickly stood up when she saw Liu Hun, “Manager Liu, I’m really sorry, I never imagined things would turn out like this.” Liu Hun comforted Lin Xiaoxiang, “How rare is it to hear of people dying for money? Please, have a seat!” Seeing Liu Hun taking everything in stride, Lin Xiaoxiang’s heart also calmed down as she said, “Manager Liu, I’ve already met with the chairman several times, analyzed the future market changes and landscape for him, but... sigh! The Ma Family’s premium offer was too high, and the chairman insisted on selling. There was nothing I could do.” “It’s alright, it’s not your fault! Nobody could have foreseen this, nor could I have imagined that Ma Lin, who claimed he wanted to break into the entertainment industry, would directly target the acquisition of Yinyue Group. However, this is also a good thing!” Liu Hun said quite relaxedly. “Why do you say that, Manager Liu?” Lin Xiaoxiang asked, puzzled. Liu Hun laughed heartily, “Isn’t it obvious? Because I’m planning on starting my own company. I no longer want to rely on anyone else. Living at the mercy of others is never secure.” “Start your own company?” Lin Xiaoxiang repeated, her eyes gradually warming up, “Does this mean you plan to be the chairman and open your own company?” “No!” Liu Hun shook his finger, “You’ll be the chairman. I will still be an agent.” “What... What? Me, the chairman?!” Lin Xiaoxiang was in disbelief, completely unprepared for Liu Hun to propose her becoming the chairman right off the bat. “Yes, you will be the chairman,” Liu Hun affirmed, sincerely looking at Lin Xiaoxiang, “Assistant Lin, I’ve always thought you were a very capable, courageous, wise, and beautiful woman. Your abilities are outstanding, second to none among men. I can’t think of anyone more suitable than you. Please don’t decline.” Naturally, Liu Hun had his own calculations for such an arrangement. He wanted to keep himself on the front line, directly training artists and forging great Qi Fortune. And behind the scenes, he needed someone reliable and competent, which of course was Lin Xiaoxiang. Back then, Lin Xiaoxiang’s willingness to use a Mi Fei calligraphy as a bribe for Ou Jinyang had deeply touched Liu Hun. Faced with Liu Hun’s stream of compliments, Lin Xiaoxiang’s heart was sweet as honey. She sneaked several glances at Liu Hun and then nodded slightly in agreement. “If Miss Lin... has agreed, then I’m relieved. Although we’re talking about starting a company, I don’t know anything about the operation of an entertainment company or anything else. I will need a lot of your help,” Liu Hun said to Lin Xiaoxiang with a change of address. Lin Xiaoxiang smiled sweetly, “Actually, Manager Liu, after hearing the news, I’ve already thought about leaving Yinyue Company. And... after the company heard the news, many people have been in touch with me privately.” “They got in touch with you privately? What does that mean?” Liu Hun asked, not quite understanding. Lin Xiaoxiang explained with a smile, “Everyone in the company knows that I am your assistant, and they all know that with the company changing hands, the new owners would likely make changes. Hence, they’ve been inquiring whether you would leave Yinyue Company to start your own, and many of them want to join you.”
