Chapter 18 The 18th day of getting disliked
"So, Sheng Jingchen does have a past with Xia Duoduo, right?"
On the way to Tianyao Film and Television Company, Shi Wei closed her eyes to nap and asked the system in her mind.
Last night, after Sheng Jingchen expressed his loyalty to her and said that he had nothing to do with Xia Duoduo, Shi Wei didn't believe it in her heart. Still, she went back and read the novel again.
The novel clearly said that the two had a relationship. It was absolutely correct.
"That’s right. After all, the villain is one of the male leads and holds the script of chasing wife to the crematorium!" The system replied to Shi Wei.
The novel Shi Wei was in was essentially a stock buying text with 1 woman and many men.
Her fiancé Sheng Jingchen had the script of chasing wife to the crematorium; her brother Xia Yiwen had the script of romantic bond between siblings not related by blood; even Shi Wei's younger brother Xia Yuanzhou was one of the male leads and had the script of elder female and younger male love.
In addition, countless men have appeared in Xia Duoduo's life, vying to be her servants and doting on her in every possible way.
However, these men were just stepping stones for the real male lead to rise to the top.
After all, Lujiang novel required a 1v1 ending~
Xia Duoduo went through thousands of grasses, but in the end she chose the brother from her childhood and had mutually saved each other then - Ye Tingyue, the eldest son of the Ye Group.
This time, she got the script of white moonlight's saving script.
Almost no one knew. Even Xia Duoduo herself had almost forgotten it. In the past, she had encouraged Ye Tingyue. It made Ye Tingyue dare to break apart from the Ye Family to pursue his dream in film and television. After that, Xia Duoduo was abused by Sheng Jingchen. It was Ye Tingyue who silently stood by her side.
Ye Yu happened to be one of the villains who kept stirring up things in their relationship and snatched Ye Tingyue of the Ye Family's property.
And Ye Wenqing was an obstacle for Xia Duoduo in marrying into the Ye Family in the novel. She had always disliked Xia Duoduo. Ye Wenqing's ending in the novel wasn't much better than Shi Wei.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy was my friend. Shi Wei chose not to expose Ye Yu last night to protect the stock price of Ye Group as well as with the intention of helping Ye Wenqing.
Ye Wenqing was capable. In the novel, Sheng Jingchen once commented that she was a woman who could lead Ye Group to glory. It was a pity that Old Mister Ye was biased toward boys and favored grandsons. Even an illegitimate son like Ye Yu was favored more than Ye Wenqing. Ye Wenqing had made the most contributions in the Ye Family, but each steps was of great difficulty.
Shi Wei wanted to open a film and television company and would need a suitable CEO.
Ye Wenqing was the best candidate.

Tianyao Film and Television Company Meeting Room
Ye Wenqing represented Ye's Group and had reached the final step of the acquisition contract with Tianyao Film and Television.
As the former leading company in the entertainment industry, Tianyao Film and Television had been operating worse and worse in recent years. After six consecutive high-investment flopping, Tianyao Film and Television could no longer make ends meet.
All the artists under its name were sold and the copyrighted works could only be sold to Shengshi Group. Now Tianyao Film and Television was only an empty shell.
No company in the market wanted to take over the Tianyao Film and Television mess. After all, the artists were gone and the old works that were once popular have been sold to Shengshi. What value did Tianyao have?
But what Ye Wenqing was interested in was the filming team and special effects team of Tianyao Film and Television. It was a veteran film and television company. They were the first group of special effects artists to learn special effects from Hollywood and even have the largest special effects material library in the country.
Ye Wenqing was convinced that as long as Tianyao could have a good script, the company could regain its former glory.
But... the senior executives of Ye Group didn’t believe so.
"Miss Ye, 300 million, this is my bottom line." Huo Ze, the president of Tianyao Film and Television, stared at Ye Wenqing, "I won't budge for even a penny less."
Huo Ze owed a lot of money for investing in film and television before and he needed to use the money from selling Tianyao to pay off his debts.
Ye Wenqing's ten fingers tightly grasped the edge of the table as her eyes darkened.
She and Huo Ze had already agreed on cooperation, but the directors of the Ye Group's board of directors suddenly changed their minds and refused to acquire Tianyao Films.
Old Mister Ye believed that it was better to hand over the family business to a male heir.
He had never considered Ye Wenqing.
"President Huo, besides me, who else is willing to take over Tianyao?" Ye Wenqing unyieldingly persuaded, "I can think of another way to get this money. President Huo, you——"
"Miss Ye, Ye Group may not be the only one who wants to acquire Tianyao, right?"
A young man's voice suddenly came from behind. Ye Wenqing turned around and saw a young man in a neat gray suit walking into the conference room.
His voice was gentle, but his tone was as domineering as a king.
——Xia Yiwen.
Many people say that Sheng Jingchen was a silent lion in the financial circle of the capital. Once he roars, the sky will collapse and the earth will crack. But Xia Yiwen was a gentle venomous snake, gentle and sneaky. Who knows if he will suddenly bite you under that gentle facade!
"Xia Yiwen, Tianyao caught your eyes?" Ye Wenqing was a little surprised, but the next moment, her brows tightened. She realized something instantly, "No, you probably set your eyes on Tianyao a long time ago, right? You didn't make a move before and calculated that I couldn't come up with 300 million and wanted to pick my peach?"
Out of the three top wealthy families in the capital. Shengshi had already divided up a large part of the film and television market. The Xia Family and the Ye Family were just in the initial stage. They both needed Tianyao as a springboard.
"Duoduo is about to graduate," Xia Yiwen said gently, "To gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, a lot of resources are needed. Buying a film and television company will be much more convenient than building a new one."
Ye Wenqing was speechless.
So Xia Yiwen wanted to buy Tianyao just to feed resources to Xia Duoduo? Did Xia Duoduo feed Xia Yiwen some kind of magic potion? Make him willing to take 300 million to pave the way for her?
Though Ye Wenqing was irked, she still appeared frigid and gentle. She turned her head and asked Huo Ze, "Xia Yiwen has a playful nature. The Xia Family is mainly engaged in real estate, not film and television. President Huo, do you really want to sell Tianyao to Xia Yiwen?"
Huo Ze appeared on the spot, "I want to sell it to you, Miss Ye, but the 300 million... If you can pay 300 million, of course I will give priority to you!"
Huo Ze raised his hand and looked at the time, "My flight is at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Miss Ye, this deal must be finalized before I get on the plane."
It was noon now, just two hours away from 2 o'clock.
How could Ye Wenqing persuade the people of Ye Group to take out 300 million in two hours?
She herself had money, but it was all real estate and stocks. The liquid cash was at most 100 million.
She had wanted to develop the film and television sector for Ye Group, so that Old Mister Ye could see her ability and girls weren’t necessarily inferior to boys. If Ye Group was handed over to her, she could do well.
She put so much effort into acquiring Tianyao.
In the end, it was all in vain.
"Miss Ye, since you can't come up with this money, then our Xia company will accept it." Xia Yiwen clapped his hands. The assistant behind him came with the latest contract documents. Huo Ze knew the drill and immediately pulled the lawyer to check the documents.
Xia Yiwen had already foreseen that Ye Wenqing was probably halted by the funding and had contacted Huo Ze privately. The lawyer read the documents quickly.
Just as the two parties were about to sign the contract, Ye Wenqing suddenly received a call.
"Miss Ye, I have money. I am willing to invest 200 million to acquire Tianyao with you."
Ye Wenqing thought she had heard it wrong, but she looked at the WeChat call screen and saw that it was Shi Wei's contact information.
"You want to help Ye Group?" Ye Wenqing was a little confused.
"Nope, I won't help Ye Group," Shi Wei uttered word by word, "I'm helping you. Forget about Ye Group or Xia Group, we'll take over Tianyao together."
Ye Wenqing thought Shi Wei must be crazy.
While Shi Wei was talking, Ye Wenqing’s phone received a text message.
Xia Shiwei remitted: 200,000,000 yuan.
Two hundred million! Eight zeros! Ye Wenqing counted twice before she was sure.
Wonderful! It wasn’t Shi Wei who was going crazy now.
She was going crazy.

Coffee shop downstairs of Tianyao Film and Television
Ye Wenqing pushed a contract to Shi Wei’s front.
Half an hour ago, she spent all her savings, plus the two hundred million invested by Shi Wei, to buy Tianyao Film and Television.
Ye Wenqing's head was still in a daze.
A company worth three hundred million! She bought it just like that!
Acquiring a company was nothing to Ye Wenqing before, but that was all in the name of Ye Group. This time it was in her personal name.
Three hundred million!
When Shi Wei said, ‘We’ll take over Tianyao together,’ Ye Wenqing felt a burst of emotion. If it weren't for the obstruction of those old stubborn people in Ye Group, Ye Wenqing was confident that she could bring the company to another level!
On an impulse, she agreed to Shi Wei’s suggestion.
Ye Wenqing thought of something and looked up and asked Shi Wei, "How do you have so much money? Did you sell Ye's shares?"
0.5% of the shares may not seem like much, but selling them was a figure of more than 200 million. It would cause Ye's stock price to plummet.
"No," Shi Wei leisurely sipped her coffee, "I sold it to Sheng Jingchen."
Ye Wenqing: "..."
Shengshi and Ye Group have always been secretly competing with each other. This move was even more ruthless.
"I didn't expect that you would come to help me after selling your stocks." Ye Wenqing sighed.
"How can that be, Miss Ye? I'm helping myself," Shi Wei grinned, "I really want to try the film and television industry."
Ye Wenqing doubted Shi Wei's determination. In her opinion, Shi Wei seemed to do it out of anger. Xia Yiwen wanted to buy a film and television company to build momentum for Xia Duoduo and Xia Shiwei refused to let him!
But when Shi Wei told her all about her IP plan, Ye Wenqing slowly widened her eyes.
Tianyao was quite strong and had suffered losses repeatedly because of its bad planning department. But as long as there are good enough projects, Tianyao will definitely turn losses into profits.
And Shi Wei just happened to have a good project!
Shi Wei specially brought the several IPs that will be popular in the future to give to Ye Wenqing. Many of them were online novels that Ye Wenqing had read when she was in school. The stories in them were tortuous and some had ups and downs. It was in line with the current trend!
When Ye Wenqing imagined those moving words turning into magnificent images, she felt her blood pumping and suddenly realized that this company was feasible!
…
While Shi Wei and Ye Wenqing were chatting about the future IP adaptation, Xia Yiwen was solemn.
Just when Ye Wenqing excitedly came back, stopped Xia Yiwen's pen, and declared that she had got 300 million, Xia Yiwen's face changed at once.
Just one step away from success. The key was that Huo Ze chose Ye Wenqing without hesitation after knowing that Ye Wenqing had enough funds.
He didn't give Xia Yiwen any face at all.
Xia Yiwen's expression was ugly.
"Have you found out who sent the money to Ye Wenqing?" Xia Yiwen asked.
Assistant Chen, who had been investigating the source of Ye Wenqing's remittance, trembled slightly, "There is no news of large-scale transactions within Ye Group. And there were none from other companies..."
Ye Wenqing had at most 100 million yuan in her hands. It meant that a third party had provided her with 200 million yuan in funds. Such a large amount of capital flow was unlikely to be a personal transaction. It was most likely a company transaction, but Xia Yiwen couldn't find anything.
Xia Yiwen frowned and his eyebrows were squeezed into a "川" shape.
Initially thinking that Duoduo would graduate smoothly, he could buy her a film and television company. It wouldn't only expand the territory of Xia's Group, but help Duoduo get further. Unexpectedly, something cropped up!
Who was the person behind Ye Wenqing?
Did he want to acquire Tianyao, or was he deliberately going against Xia Group?
Except for Sheng Jingchen, Xia Yiwen had never stumbled in company affairs. As the eldest son of a top wealthy family, losing to Young Master Sheng was fine. But how could he lose to this guy whose origin was unknown?
