Chapter 720: Son Repays Mothers Debt

It would be impossible to make Ai Mi leave the entertainment industry right now. Ai ShuQiao refused Ren HongDes request.

Then dont expect to receive any shares of Qing Zi Education Group either, not even 1%. Ren HongDe said, Since youre the one whos insincere, the negotiations have broken down. I will think of another option for Ye Lin and his sister.

Ren HongDes didnt obtain such a large industry by being patient and accommodating, and he did not want to be led by the nose by Ai ShuQiao.

Wait, Mr. Ren, arent you being too hasty? Ai ShuQiao slightly furrowed her brows, I only said Ai Mi cant leave the entertainment industry right now, but I never said I would never let her leave. My daughter still has up to three years of contracts from now. For example, The Legend of the magic Cauldron is being filmed in Dong Shang citys Film City right now and the expected filming time is up to two years. If I let my daughter quit the entertainment industry now, the breach of contract aside, my entertainment agencys reputation will be completely gone.

Then what are you going to do to show sincerity? Who knows if you will find other excuses after three years.

How about this. Ai ShuQiao slowed down her speech, Mr. Ren, we can each take a step back. From now on, I will no longer disturb Ye Lins life and also try to push off Ai Mis contracts. I wont make it so that she will still be stuck in the industry after three years and make preparations for her to quit the entertainment industry.

What do you want in exchange. Ren HongDe knew that Ai ShuQiao could not make these concessions for nothing.

5% of the shares. Ai ShuQiao offered, You have to pay me 5% of the shares in advance and give me independent operation of the Academy in Dong Shan city, and the princ.i.p.als position will naturally be given to me.

Ren HongDe was slightly surprised, because Dong Shan city was a third-tier city. Although it was the place of origin for the Qing Zi Education Group, the citys school was not important in any way in terms of its current strategic position. He was only acting as the princ.i.p.al here for historical reasons.

Ai ShuQiao insisted to be the princ.i.p.al here, but sitting in the U.S. while remotely controlling one of her people might not necessarily to reap her many benefits.

Especially since she agreed to let go of me by asking for only 5% of the shares and to refuse contracts for Ai Mi that are later than three years from now, which was already much reasonable than when she just asked for 40% of the shares.

Are you really going to refuse future contracts for your daughter? Ren HongDe was skeptical, The reporters in the entertainment industry are very sensitive, if you really do that, they will definitely sniff out signs that your daughter is going to retire, and then make a big deal out of it, which may affect her current popularity as well.

Thats why you have to give me 5% of the shares in advance as compensation. Ai ShuQiao replied.

Since its just an advance payment to show the sincerity of both parties, why not adjust it to 4%. Ren HongDe bargained, If its less than 5%, I dont have to call a board meeting.

No, 5% is the bottom line. Ai ShuQiao stressed, And eventually you will have to give me 25% of the shares, so when the time comes, you cant avoid calling the board of directors anyway. You might as well inform them ahead of time.

You are asking me to announce at the board meeting that you, Ai ShuQiao, will officially join the board and have voting rights because your share exceeds 5%?

Ai ShuQiao looked at the back of her slender hand as if she was checking to see if her nail polish was evenly applied.

Your groups board of directors currently has six members, all of whom are men over fifty years old, so wouldnt the addition of me add a bit of a womens gentleness.

Your gentleness. Ren HongDe couldnt help but say sarcastically, When you were taking care of your husbands financial company, your compet.i.tor, Jiang YanBin, who is also a Chinese American, went and has not been heard from, so Im afraid he knows best what your gentleness looks like.

Ai ShuQiao didnt really react as if waiting for the other party to continue to speak.

Theres also the Hollywood agent, Lisa Culler, she died in a private plane crash half a month after accusing you of exploiting artists. She was a veteran pilot with more than 10,000 kilometers of flight records, so I dont think she would make a rookie mistake of forgetting to fuel up. She also had a wealth of experience in forced landings, so the reason for not being able to land successfully also deserves deep thought.

Ai ShuQiao wasnt angry, but instead laughed, Mr. Ren, youre not suggesting that I killed them, are you?

Its ironic that the self-proclaimed impartial American law is protecting people like you.

The whole world is nothing but irony the Simpson wife murder case that shocked the world back then, didnt it end with Simpsons acquittal? Didnt he also write a book 12 years later, If I did it, detailing his wifes murder process and selling the book for profit?

Madam Ai ShuQiao, I should remind you that Simpson has already been imprisoned for the robbery he committed 13 years later. The U.S. justice department intends to correct their past mistakes and to take this opportunity to re-sentence Simpson, with life imprisonment waiting for him.

Hmph, thats only because Simpson is too stupid In 2001, billionaire Durst shot his neighbor, dismembered and dumped the body, and finally the courts ruled that self-defense justified and he was acquitted. He was also involved in the disappearance of his wife in 1982, and in 2000 the female writer Berman was killed Mr. Ren, you know how the world works, please do not believe that the U.S. judiciary system is reliable.

So, Madam Ai ShuQiao, you think youre a lot smarter than Simpson and Durst, and didnt leave any evidence behind.

At least I spent the money that should go to my legal team somewhere else. She declined to answer.

Im warning you. Ren HongDe suddenly raised his voice, If you only care about business interests, I can talk to you in business and have room for negotiations, but if you use wrongdoers to harm the Ye Lin and his sister, as well as the others around me dont think you can get out in one piece.

Chinas laws arent necessarily better than the United States. However, for foreign capitalists like you, if you openly carry out illegal activities in the mainland, whether from the perspective of law or public opinion, the state would have no reason to show you any mercy. I always give donations to the Golden s.h.i.+eld Foundation for the compa.s.sion of fallen police officers, so the police and my family have a good relations.h.i.+p. If my family was hurt from unknown sources, they will definitely respond first and make sure to expose the mastermind and you wont have a good time.

Oh, so youre saying that you, Mr. Ren HongDe, have a good reputation among the police of Dong Shan city, so if I go against you, then I would be going against all the police officers in Dong Shan city.

At this point Ai ShuQiao laughed sarcastically.

Im a clean businessman who just wants to make money, so why would I mess with the police? Dont worry, Mr. Ren, I will never condone my men to harm your family, especially not your sister, Ms. Ren HongLi.

Ren HongDe, who had his weakness caught by Ai ShuQiao, could not help but have his heart skip a beat.

Moreover, your sister, Ms. Ren HongLi, is now getting together with my ex-husband, Ye YuanFeng, and will become Ye Lins stepmother in the future. Im just not sure how many days she can be his stepmother

What do you mean? Ren HongDe said, What are you planning to do to my sister?

Ren HongDe didnt know that I was poisoned because I ate the b.u.t.terfly, so he thought that Ai ShuQiao was threatening Auntie Rens life.

Its nothing, I was just thinking that Ye YuanFeng doesnt pique my interests at all, and I presume that Ms. Ren HongLi will also soon lose interest in Ye YuanFeng.

Theres no need for you to worry about it. Ren HongDe said coldly, If you can promise that you and your representative agent will not use my school to do anything illegal after serving as the princ.i.p.al, then I can take out 5% of the groups shares and make a preliminary deal with you.

But if anyone among my family and friends, including Ye Lin and his sister, is harmed by you, the deal will be cancelled immediately, and I will also use all means to retaliate against you. Ren HongDes face had a rarely seen ferocious expression, Your hands arent clean and its impossible for you to not leave any evidence behind. Please think about the seriousness of this transaction, think clearly about whether you can adhere to my conditions, then decide if you will agree to the deal.

Next, without waiting for Ai ShuQiaos answer, Ren HongDe took the initiative to close the video chat.

This was the result of the negotiations achieved so far. Ren HongDe felt that I, as one of the parties involved, had the right to know, so he specifically called me out of the VIP building and informed me face to face.

Princ.i.p.al Ren, you

Ren HongDe raised a hand out and stopped me, Just call me Uncle Ren in the future, the princ.i.p.al t.i.tle of mine may have to be given away to Ai ShuQiao at some point.

Then, Uncle Ren, youre actually willing to give away a quarter of the groups shares for the sake of me and my sister, Im really touched and I dont know what to say

It was my true thoughts. It doesnt really matter how my life ends up, if Ren HongDe can really save Ai Mi from Ai ShuQiao, then even if I die, I will work hard for Ren HongDe to repay his kindness in my next life.

No need to thank me. Ren HongDes face was still cold, Im not doing it for you guys, just to get rid of Hong Lis worries. If I use 25% of the groups shares for my sisters dowry, its very reasonable.

Ren HongDe said and sighed, I did not give a dowry the last time my sister got married because I did not accept them.

His eyes then s.h.i.+fted to my face, seemingly looking for similarities between my dads face and mine.

I hope this time, I did not make a mistake, if Ye YuanFeng can treat Hong Li sincerely, my hard work would not be in vain.

I dont know what came to his mind, but he suddenly pointed to me: Also, be respectful to Xiao Qin and her mother.

If you dare to bully Xiao Qin or make Hong Li angry, I will make you return the 25% of the groups shares in the future, do you hear me?
