2448: Forcing Him to Comply 2448: Forcing Him to Comply Feng Jianhui’s expression changed; he hadn’t expected Yan Ci to say such things.
“In that case, I’ll take my leave,” Feng Jianhui said coldly:
“Moreover, I just looked over the script and don’t think much of it. It will lose money once released. I’m planning to withdraw my investment. President Yan, you should consider other options.”
“Fine.”
Yan Ci was not surprised and calmly agreed.
Initially, she sought cooperation with Feng Jianhui because his Guanghui Media was a local enterprise in Jinling.
The majority of the scenes for the film she was making needed to be shot in Jinling.
She thought that having the support of such a local company would make shooting more convenient.
Now, having declined his dinner invitation, the investment matter was naturally off the table.
This sort of thing had happened to Yan Ci too many times; she was used to it.
“Then I will excuse myself!”
Feng Jianhui snorted coldly and stormed off, flinging his sleeves angrily.
“Ah…”
Yan Ci sighed and wore a look of distress.
With the filming schedule already tight, a financial gap of 67 million had emerged, making matters difficult.
Meanwhile, Feng Jianhui was fuming as he returned to his car.
“CEO Feng, didn’t you go to meet with President Yan? Why have you come back alone?” asked the driver, Li Rongde.
“Stop mentioning that b*tch, she’s too arrogant, refuses to acknowledge what’s good for her, and even dares to reject me! She should take a good look at herself! She really thinks too highly of herself!”
“Could it be that bad? We’re one of the investors in this project, how could she dare to reject you? Does she not want to make the film anymore?”
“I’ve already decided to pull out my investment. I’d like to see what she can do!” Feng Jianhui said:
“Even if she comes crying to me, it might not help.”
“CEO Feng, if we just wait for her response, we’re putting ourselves in a passive position,” said Li Rongde.
“Hmm? What do you mean?”
“This is Jinling, our territory; if we want to kick them out, isn’t that just a word away?”
“Speak slowly, what’s your idea?”
“This is the Confucius Temple and Qinhuai River area. Filming here isn’t easy,” said Li Rongde:
“Just give the relevant departments a heads-up, and kicking them out will do the trick. They won’t be able to shoot their scenes, and they’d have to come find you by tonight, rather than even waiting for tomorrow morning!”
“That’s a good idea!”
Feng Jianhui’s eyes lit up.
He was well aware that Yan Ci hadn’t sought his investment due to a lack of funds.
But rather, she valued his local connections, which could provide many conveniences for the film.
Even though they had secured permission to shoot at the Confucius Temple for three days, with just one word from him, he could easily throw them out.
Just as Li Rongde said, they wouldn’t need to wait until the next morning; perhaps they would come begging for his mercy by tonight.
By then, it wouldn’t just be about a meal, even if she was asked to do something else, she’d have no choice but to obediently comply!
“I’ll make a call to the relevant departments; I don’t believe I can’t handle her!”
At this moment, Yan Ci was directing the crew, setting up the studio, eager to start shooting as soon as possible.
Once the most important scenes were filmed, everything else would be easier to deal with.
About half an hour later, preparations were nearly complete and they were ready to start filming.
Yan Ci breathed a sigh of relief, holding a small fan in her hand and incessantly fanning herself.
“Beautiful, have some milk tea.”
Yan Ci suddenly turned around, and the person speaking was Lin Yi.
Instantly, her face lit up with calculation, feeling all the fatigue evaporate with his appearance.
“You’re supposedly a big CEO with a hundred billion in assets, and you’re buying me a six-yuan milk tea from Ice City? You’re unbelievably stingy.”
“A swan feather sent from a thousand miles away, a light gift carrying deep affection.” Lin Yi smiled as he handed over the milk tea, “Have this to quench your thirst for now, I’ll treat you to something else when we return to the hotel tonight.”
“Stop it.”
She gave Lin Yi a flirty glance and took the milk tea; the two of them stood shoulder to shoulder, admiring the beautiful scenery of the Qinhuai River.
“I’ve been busy all day; I’m about to die of exhaustion.”
“You’re not exactly short on cash; just enough to sustain yourself is fine, why push yourself so hard?”
“I’m not like you; my capacities are right there, not even comparable,” Yan Ci said with a laugh:
“No matter how hard I strive, I can only maintain the status quo; it’s not like I can rely on your money every single day, can I?”
