A wave of indescribable anger surged from the depths of his heart.
His first reaction was that he had been tricked!
After all this back and forth, this young man was actually the boss!
He had been kept in the dark the entire time!
The boss and his employees had colluded, playing him for a fool!
Chen Jie said, "Mr. Sheng, there's no need for you to be upset, because you brought all of this upon yourself. If you had just traded honestly with us from the start, you wouldn't have ended up like this. Rest assured, we will manage your company well, and your years of hard work will not go to waste."
He Yufei clicked her tongue, realizing Chen Jie was deliberately provoking him.
He was already feeling terrible after discovering he'd been tricked, wasn't he?
She even felt a bit of sympathy for Sheng Jinsong.
If she were Sheng Jinsong, she would have refused to sell based on Chen Jie's words alone.
However, the contract was already signed, and everything was settled. No matter what, Sheng Jinsong couldn't go back on it now.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Sheng Jinsong stood up in agitation, pointing at Chen Jie and saying, "You old schemer! This was all deliberate, wasn't it!"
"And another thing! You've bought the company, so why are you still here? Just to gloat? Let me tell you, Sheng Jinsong isn't someone to be trifled with! If I hadn't known you were the boss, it would have been one thing. But now that I know your identity, I will make sure your company has a hard time! I'll join forces with other companies to deal with you!"
He Yufei said, "Mr. Sheng, please mind your words. We could have pushed the price down by several hundred million more, but we didn't. We've been more than generous. What more do you want?"
Even so, Sheng Jinsong found it hard to accept that his company, valued at eight billion, had been sold at a loss of three billion in just a few days.
More importantly, the person he considered a jinx turned out to be the owner of the company that had acquired his.
This made him believe that Chen Jie's actions were intentional in causing his company's market value to plummet!
It was akin to unethical businesses placing large orders with a company, then canceling them after the products were made, only to have another company swoop in to buy the manufactured goods at a low price.
Equally despicable.
Swallowing this bitter pill left Sheng Jinsong feeling as miserable as if he had eaten excrement.
Just then, a graceful figure walked over.
It was Guo Xiaofeng!
Guo Xiaofeng was dressed in resplendent attire, drawing all eyes to her.
What was more significant was that she wasn't wearing a mask.
The full beard she had sported was gone.
In its place was a smooth, fair, and pretty face.
It was as if the bearded visage she had presented to the public in recent days had been merely a double.
"Xiaofeng!"
Sheng Jinsong was the first to spot Guo Xiaofeng.
His heart swelled with emotion: "Xiaofeng, your face is healed?"
"Hahaha... Heaven helps me!"
Sheng Jinsong burst into wild laughter.
Then, he looked triumphantly at Chen Jie and said, "You may have calculated everything, but you never anticipated that Xiaofeng's face would recover at this time, did you? Did you think you had gotten a bargain?"
"What else?" Chen Jie replied.
"Wrong! The reason I sold to you at such a low price is because my company is only worth this much right now! Because Guo Xiaofeng is the soul of our company! Do you know how much money it costs to create a superstar?"
"Without Xiaofeng, Shengshi Company is nothing! Now, I'm going to start a new venture with her!"
"Just wait for my new company to take you down!"
A significant reason he wanted to sell the company was the excessive number of partners when it was founded, which led to various management issues.
Now that he had the perfect Xiaofeng, he could learn from his mistakes, establish an entertainment company solely his own, and achieve great success and glory!
Chen Jie nodded in agreement: "Mr. Sheng, thank you for the reminder. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known how important Guo Xiaofeng's existence was."
"Guo Xiaofeng, perfect. Let's sign the contract," Chen Jie said, pulling out another prepared contract.
In fact, Chen Jie had summoned Guo Xiaofeng. He had intended to sign the contract with her after Sheng Jinsong left, putting her in charge of managing the company for him.
He hadn't expected Guo Xiaofeng to arrive so early.
"What? What contract are you signing?" Sheng Jinsong asked, his mind reeling.
Guo Xiaofeng said, "Mr. Sheng, I've already discussed it with Mr. Chen. In the future, I will be managing Shengshi Company. Besides serving as president, I will also be a contracted artist for the company. Mr. Sheng, as for your idea of starting anew with me, perhaps we can discuss it another time."
Pfft...
Sheng Jinsong felt as if struck by lightning. Guo Xiaofeng's words dealt him a severe blow.
He incredulously asked, "Are you kidding me? Haven't you always considered him an enemy? How can you work for him? Aren't you two birds of a feather?"
"There are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Mr. Sheng, being the president of Shengshi Company is better than being your subordinate," Guo Xiaofeng replied.
Sheng Jinsong felt another heavy blow.
Turning, Guo Xiaofeng respectfully said to Chen Jie, "Mr. Chen, thank you for healing my face. I, Guo Xiaofeng, always keep my word. I will definitely work for you for the rest of my life!"
For her, her face was everything. Chen Jie had essentially given her a second life.
"Mm, take a look at the contract and see if there are any issues," Chen Jie said.
Guo Xiaofeng did nothing else but swiftly sign her name on the document.
"I trust Mr. Chen."
Chen Jie healed Guo Xiaofeng's face?
Sheng Jinsong was stunned for a moment, then understood.
If Chen Jie could heal Guo Xiaofeng's face, could he also have the power to ruin it?
If that were the case, had Chen Jie already planned this method to drive his company's market value down from the moment they first met?
The thought made it truly unbearable for him to accept.
He resentfully said to Guo Xiaofeng, "Xiaofeng, don't be foolish. Chen Jie was the one who caused your facial problems! We've both fallen into his trap! He's our common enemy!"
"Do you think I'm an idiot?"
Guo Xiaofeng glanced at Sheng Jinsong with a sneer.
She was utterly disappointed with Sheng Jinsong's attitude towards her these past few days.
So, she said without hesitation, "Of course I know Chen Jie tampered with my face! But that was my own doing! In the future, I will strive to be an elegant woman and live up to Mr. Chen's expectations!"
"Also, let me tell you, my face was actually healed by Mr. Chen yesterday. I knew that as soon as my face recovered, the company's market value would rapidly increase, but I didn't do it! Because I wanted to help Mr. Chen acquire Shengshi Company at a low price!"
"Furthermore, the major scandal about my company that broke yesterday was also my doing! Mr. Sheng, you'd best look out for yourself!"
