"Your company's protective artifacts and the Hundred Illness Immunity Pills are indeed valuable commodities."
"However, in today's market, even the best wine needs good marketing. Without strong media resources, it's impossible to sell nationwide, let alone internationally. You urgently need an integrated entertainment company like ours for promotion, so acquiring your own entertainment company is paramount."
"Therefore, selling it to you for eight billion yuan is not unreasonable," Guo Xiaofeng said.
"I'm sorry, but I find your demands excessive, and I cannot agree to them," He Yufei stated calmly.
"That's why negotiating with your chairman is the right approach. Ms. He, why don't you call the chairman to join the negotiation? After all, some decisions are beyond your authority," Sheng Jinsong said, having already investigated He Yufei's background. He Yufei had only recently ascended to the position of CEO of a major company. Before that, she was insignificant, not even qualified to speak with celebrities like Guo Xiaofeng. Sheng Jinsong hadn't understood before meeting He Yufei in person. But now he did. He Yufei must have caught the eye of a powerful figure who was now supporting her as his 'canary in a cage.' He had already concluded that He Yufei lacked decision-making power, and everything depended on the influential figure behind her. However, they hadn't been able to investigate this figure.
"My words represent the wishes of our top boss," He Yufei said, glancing at Chen Jie.
"Actually, I don't intend to make things difficult for you. My only goal is to take Guo Xiaofeng with me. If I can do that, then the price discussed on the phone might be acceptable," Sheng Jinsong said with a troubled expression. "The problem is that Xiaofeng is a key asset to our company. Many of our junior artists were brought up by her. If I take Xiaofeng, most of the other junior artists will choose to leave. This makes things very difficult for me! So, I can either take all of them with me, or transfer them to you at a high price."
He Yufei felt a great headache coming on. If it were just Guo Xiaofeng, she would have no hesitation in transferring her. Since Guo Xiaofeng had offended Chen Jie, she could no longer remain with the company. However, Guo Xiaofeng's significant influence within Shengshi Entertainment Company made He Yufei realize that unless all these artists were bought out, the entertainment company would struggle to develop.
At this moment, Chen Jie suddenly spoke, "Eight billion yuan? You truly have the nerve to ask for such a price. In my opinion, it's only worth three billion."
Sheng Jinsong frowned. "We are discussing business; please don't interrupt."
Guo Xiaofeng also glared at Chen Jie. "That's enough! Do you really think you're so important just because you're sitting at our table, that you're one of us? Don't get your hopes up!"
"I never thought I was one of you. But I believe this negotiation will fail if it's above three billion. Ms. He, don't you agree?" Chen Jie turned to He Yufei and said.
Guo Xiaofeng was furious. "Shut up! Do you know what you're saying? Do you know what three billion yuan means to you? In your world, perhaps thirty thousand yuan is already a lot, isn't it? Don't meddle in things beyond your comprehension!"
"Also, just sit there and listen quietly today. Later, you can use this conversation to brag to your friends. There's no need to seek validation in front of important people like us." After speaking to Chen Jie, she turned to He Yufei with a fawning smile. "Ms. He, actually, I still wish to continue developing my career with the company."
"Let's be direct. President Sheng thinks very highly of me and wants to pave the way for me. You just need to add another three billion yuan and sign a long-term contract with me. The contract should stipulate that my resources will always be prioritized over anyone else's, no matter what," Guo Xiaofeng said confidently. "I believe I will bring considerable revenue to the company."
"Pfft..." Chen Jie burst out laughing. "With your character, do you really expect Ms. He to want you? I think you'll either be shelved by the company or pack your bags and leave."
"You..."
"Throw him out!" As a major boss, how could Sheng Jinsong tolerate such an insignificant person trying to assert himself in front of him? He immediately ordered his female assistant. The female assistant nodded in agreement and walked towards Chen Jie. As she moved, Chen Jie noticed her steady gait, not at all like the gentle and light movements of a woman. Her face also held a hint of coldness. It seemed this female assistant was also acting as his bodyguard.
Before Chen Jie could react, the two cold and beautiful female assistants beside He Yufei moved first. They were bodyguards from Jiang Xue's company, and their ability to work by He Yufei's side indicated their extraordinary skills. Furthermore, they knew Chen Jie's identity, so without He Yufei's explicit command, they stepped forward to confront Sheng Jinsong's assistant. The first one immediately grabbed Sheng Jinsong's assistant by the collar.
"You..." Sheng Jinsong's assistant's expression shifted slightly. But before she could do anything, He Yufei's other cold and beautiful assistant delivered a kick. With a bang, the glamorous female assistant was sent flying backward, landing in a heap.
Chen Jie nodded inwardly. As they fought, Chen Jie could tell that Sheng Jinsong's female assistant was a woman on the verge of breaking through the limits of a normal person, touching the realm of a martial artist. If it had been an ordinary person, even twenty of them would not have been her match. But unfortunately, she had encountered He Yufei's people. He Yufei's two female assistants had practiced the rapid cultivation technique that Chen Jie had taught Jiang Xue. Due to their exceptional aptitude, they had directly ascended to the peak of the Profound Tier. How could an ordinary woman possibly contend with them?
"Ms. He, what is the meaning of this? Why are your people attacking my people?" Sheng Jinsong stood up and questioned with a gloomy expression. At the same time, he was shocked by the strength of He Yufei's female assistants. Their skill was formidable! He Yufei remained silent. However, one of the cold and beautiful assistants said coldly, "How dare you disrespect the guest Ms. He invited? I think you're asking for trouble!"
One female assistant didn't even respect him. Sheng Jinsong was furious. But at the same time, his heart tightened. He realized he had underestimated He Yufei. If even her casual assistants were this powerful, she was far beyond his comparison. "I was impolite. I apologize for my previous rudeness." Sheng Jinsong ultimately chose to endure and then said, "Ms. He, I believe you need to reconsider my offer."
"No need, I have already made up my mind."
