Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 133: Show Him My Methods

Xu Yang returned to the venue to find Zhao Yuxin.

The female stars all greeted Xu Yang one after another.

Xu Yang simply nodded in response and said to Zhao Yuxin, “Wife, let’s go.”

Zhao Yuxin was taken aback, not knowing why they had to leave now.

The celebration party, they hadn’t even eaten yet.

However, she didn’t ask why, feeling that it wasn’t a good time to ask, and simply bid farewell to everyone.

But Xie Bei couldn’t help asking, “President Xu, what’s the matter? Why don’t you stay for dinner before leaving?”

Xu Yang said, “There’s an issue at the company that needs to be dealt with. See you next time.”

After saying that, he took Zhao Yuxin and left.

“What’s going on? President Xu doesn’t seem too happy.”

“Yeah, did something happen?”

“For sure, otherwise President Xu would never leave without eating.”

“Sister Bei, go ask your husband what exactly happened.”

The female stars were all abuzz with speculation.

Xie Bei had her suspicions.

Wu Jing had told her about the investment shares for War Panther 2, and it was possible that those film company bosses might try to snatch the investment shares from Xu Yang.

Now that Xu Yang had left without eating, it was probably because of this.

However, she didn’t say anything out loud.

Truthfully, she and her husband were on Xu Yang’s side in this matter.

Firstly, Wu Jing owed his success to Xu Yang, without whom there would be no Wu Jing today.

Secondly, it was indeed Xu Yang who had signed an agreement with Wu Jing, and he rightfully deserved those investment shares.

But they, as a couple, had little influence among those tycoons and truly couldn’t offer much help to Xu Yang.

Zhao Yulu and Chen Guanglei also noticed Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin leaving.

“What’s going on? Why are they leaving?” Zhao Yulu frowned.

“Heh, it’s possible they got kicked out of the game, missed the chance to invest in War Panther 2 and just left,” Chen Guanglei said, laughing gleefully.

Inside the meeting room where a few film industry magnates and Wu Jing were having tea.

“I wonder how the negotiation between President Xue and that kid is going,” said Bi Guanghui, the head of Xingchen Film and Television.

“There definitely won’t be any problems. No matter what, he’s just a young guy; with President Xue’s negotiation skills, overpowering a youngster should be a piece of cake,” laughed another film company boss.

“Exactly, dealing with a young fellow is really too simple for President Xue,” echoed another film company boss.

Wu Jing and Fang Pengtao remained silent.

Xu Yang was a shareholder of Wan Da Film and Television, and it was inappropriate for Fang Pengtao to comment.

It was much the same for Wu Jing; he only felt gratitude towards Xu Yang and certainly would not speak ill of him.

Moreover, he didn’t think of Xu Yang as a simple character.

If he were simple, Xu Yang wouldn’t have become the boss of Fengcai Guild and Jiang Di Lao.

While they were speaking, the door was pushed open and Xue Zhanhua walked in.

“President Xue, how did it go?”

“No need to ask; just look at President Xue’s face and you can tell the negotiation didn’t go well,” someone remarked.

“No way, did that guy actually dare to refuse?”

“We’ve given him a 5 percent shareholding, that’s already considering the fact he’s a Wan Da Film and Television shareholder.”

Seeing Xue Zhanhua return, they all spoke up.

“This Xu Yang doesn’t appreciate our goodwill and insists on a 30 percent investment share. He even threatened me, saying if we didn’t give him that much, he’d file a lawsuit, stopping War Panther 2 from being approved,” Xue Zhanhua said, his face dark with anger.

“What!”

“This kid, he dares to reject our kindness!”

“And suing us, preventing ‘War Panther 2’ from starting, he is simply too arrogant!”

“Who does he think he is, just because he’s a shareholder of Wanda Film and Television?”

“Even as a shareholder of Wanda Film and Television, he can’t be so arrogant.”

“It’s just him alone; we have so many people. Does he really think he can withstand the collective pressure from all of us by himself?”

“He’s really a greenhorn, completely ignorant of the real world!”

Hearing this, everyone was furious.

Wu Jing and Fang Pengtao still did not speak.

Xue Zhanhua looked towards Wu Jing and Fang Pengtao and said, “Director Wu, President Fang, what do you say?”

Seeing Fang Pengtao leisurely drinking his tea, Wu Jing stated first: “President Xue, I still hold the same stance, I’ve signed a priority investment agreement with him, and I’m not going to go back on my word and violate that agreement. Moreover, he is my benefactor and supporter. If you want him to give up his shares, I won’t get involved, and I’m powerless to do so.”

His attitude was clear: he did not want to help, but he was still inclined towards Xu Yang, just unable to provide help, which could be disregarded.

Then, it was all about Fang Pengtao’s attitude.

Actually, it mainly depended on Fang Pengtao’s stance.

After all, Wu Jing was just a minor figure in front of all these big shots.

But since Wu Jing was the director and leading actor of ‘War Panther’, they had to consider his opinion, or at the very least, they had to show him some respect on the surface.

Otherwise, if Wu Jing said he wouldn’t shoot ‘War Panther 2’, then whatever anyone else said would be pointless.

Fang Pengtao put down his teacup and lit another cigarette, then said, “I’m not getting involved. Whatever you guys do, it’s got nothing to do with me.”

“Fine.” Xue Zhanhua said, “I just want to show him what I’m capable of, to let him know that with me, it’s not just an investment agreement that lets you do whatever you want!”

…

Xu Yang took Zhao Yuxin and left, driving home.

In the car, he asked Zhao Yuxin to use her phone to send a message to Wu Jing.

Xu Yang: Director Wu, I couldn’t come to an agreement with Mr. Xue about investing in ‘War Panther 2’, I’m sorry, it looks like this might delay the shooting of the film.

He believed that Wu Jing already knew the outcome of his negotiation with Xue Zhanhua.

Soon, Wu Jing replied.

Wu Jing: President Xu, you’re being too modest. In this matter, I’m on your side. I’m very grateful to you, without your support, I couldn’t have reached where I am today. Though I have little influence and I’m sorry that I can’t help you on this matter.

Zhao Yuxin read Wu Jing’s response to Xu Yang.

Xu Yang laughed: “Wu Jing’s character is still quite reliable.”

Zhao Yuxin nodded: “Yes, I’ve also had a great time working with Xie Bei, and being friends with both of them is really nice.”

Xu Yang then told Zhao Yuxin to reply.

Xu Yang: Don’t worry, it’s just a temporary delay. It shouldn’t take long to resolve this issue.

Wu Jing: President Xu, I have faith in you and look forward to our continued cooperation.

When they got home, Xu Yang thought it through carefully and prepared to strike back.

He first called the general manager of Yang Xin Investment, instructing them to convene the lawyers to sue Hua’an Film and Television, and there would be follow-up actions.

…

The celebration ended.

Zhao Yulu and Chen Guanglei stepped out of the hotel.

“Yu Lu, I found out the real reason why Xu Yang left during the meal, and it’s pretty much what I suspected,” Chen Guanglei said with a smile.

“Is it true? He was kicked out and can’t invest in ‘War Panther 2’ anymore?” Zhao Yulu asked.

“Yeah.” Chen Guanglei nodded with a smile, “When Xu Yang invested in ‘War Panther’, he signed a priority investment agreement with Wu Jing. Essentially, if Wu Jing made ‘War Panther 2’, he would have the priority investment right with an investment share as high as thirty percent.”

Zhao Yulu asked, “If he had signed an agreement with Wu Jing and had the priority investment right, how could he still be kicked out?”
