Chapter 630: I Refuse To Donate!
After cursing, Big Beard Liu turned to look at his colleague and smiled awkwardly. Pointing at his phone, he said, “That producer, Su Yang, just called me and asked me about the donation.”
“It’s like he has cerebral palsy. He hung up after just one question. What a weird guy.”
The few people sitting there heard that and exchanged glances. They could see the confusion in each other’s eyes.
Even though they did not hear what Su Yang said, they could roughly guess the conversation between the two based on Big Beard Liu’s reply.
Therefore, they were confused. ‘Why would this investor call just to ask one question?
‘How strange.’
Meanwhile, Big Beard Liu stuffed his phone into his pocket, walked over, sat down and said, “Let’s continue our conversation. So, is it settled? Will the production crew pay for this?”
In fact, the producer felt a little regretful when he saw Su Yang calling to ask about it. However, since he had already said it, he could not take it back. Hence, he nodded his head. “Yes, the production team has paid.”
Pleased, Big Beard Liu said, “Alright then. I’ll post it on Weibo!”
Then, he picked up his phone and typed a few words before sending it out.
‘I’ve lost fair and square. Since Mr. Su said he doesn’t want this one million yuan and wants to donate it to a charity fund, I’ll donate it then. I’ll upload a screenshot of it in a few days.’
After posting on Weibo, one of Big Beard Liu’s worries was resolved. He said happily, “Thanks to everyone’s help, this matter has been resolved perfectly. I’ll treat everyone to a meal.”
The few of them looked at each other. In the end, the producer said, “We still have to film in the morning. Forget it. Instead, let’s have a good gathering tonight.”
Big Beard Liu nodded and was about to agree. Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind. He pondered for a moment and smiled mysteriously at everyone present. “Alright, let’s eat tonight then.”
After sending them out of the room, Big Beard Liu took out his phone and made a few phone calls. After making the necessary arrangements, he opened Weibo with a smile, wanting to see how the netizens would react after he posted on Weibo.
What made him angry was that most of the netizens were scolding him.
‘You lost fair and square? You mean to say that you’re admitting defeat by just paying one million yuan? Mr. Su made a bet of ten million yuan with you!’
‘Have you missed out typing a 0?’
‘Forget about the bet. You really have very bad professional standards.’
‘Wolf Warriors” is already worth 500 million yuan, but you weren’t able to tell. I suppose paying ten million yuan as a lesson is actually quite worth it.’
When Big Beard Liu saw these Weibo posts that “he thinks” were deliberately stirring up trouble, he was furious. His expression was ferocious as he said, “All of you are just making sarcastic remarks! It’s already good enough that I can take out a million yuan! Why are you still driving me into a corner!”
“Do you have one million yuan? Come talk to me when you have that amount at hand, alright?”
“It’s not your money! This is ten million yuan we’re talking about here! Dream on! Did I agree to it? Idiots!”
Of course, he only dared to say these things in private to vent his anger and did not dare to post them online.
After venting his anger in the room, Big Beard Liu tossed his phone aside. He did not want to look at it since it was annoying.
After a while, he picked up his phone curiously and opened Weibo again. This time, he did not continue to read the comments that scolded him. Instead, he opened Su Yang’s Weibo to see if Su Yang had any reaction.
Strangely, Su Yang did not have any reaction.
There were no updates on Weibo at all.
‘Did he not see it?
‘That’s unlikely.’
Right now, the bet on “Wolf Warriors” was such a hot topic that both his and Su Yang’s every move would be reported, so it was impossible for Su Yang not to see it.
‘So... Is he just going to accept it?
‘I don’t think it’s going to be so simple.’
At this moment, he recalled the strange phone call that Su Yang gave him earlier. He was even more confused. ‘What is Su Yang trying to do?’
He thought about it for a long time, but no matter how he thought about it, he could not figure out what Su Yang was thinking.
In the end, Big Beard Liu decided to put this matter to the back of his mind. ‘Who cares! I’m not paying anyway. Bite me if you dare!’
It was true that Su Yang could not bite Big Beard Liu, but he was not afraid that Big Beard Liu would refuse to pay.
After all, he had the system and his newly upgraded [Absolute Verbal Contract].
Not long after Su Yang posted on Weibo, he went downstairs to wash up. Just as he was about to eat, an image appeared before his eyes.
He was already used to the activation of [Space Traversing Eyes], so he immediately knew that someone was talking about him.
At first, he thought it was some bored fan or netizen talking about him. He was about to turn it off when he suddenly recognized the person in the middle of the picture to be Big Beard Liu.
Hence, Su Yang stopped what he was doing and listened to the discussion of the crew of “Beautiful Working Class”.
Su Yang was displeased when he heard that Big Beard Liu wanted to go against his word and even asked the production team to pay for it.
Therefore, he went straight to Tan Mei and asked for Big Beard Liu’s number. Then, he gave him a call and received a verbal agreement from Big Beard Liu to make a ten-million yuan donation.
After receiving the promise, Su Yang slowly ate his meal and returned to the virtual space to record the promise in the contract.
Coincidentally, not long after he signed the contract, Big Beard Liu posted on Weibo that he was going to donate one million yuan.
Su Yang, who knew the effects of the [Absolute Verbal Contract] like the back of his hand, chuckled. “Is this something you can decide? If you’re able to donate one million yuan, then I shall admit defeat.”
Su Yang packed up and prepared to head to the office. Last night, Bubbles told him that the short video had been taken and she wanted Su Yang to take a look.
Hence, Su Yang drove to the Hi-Tech Park and went upstairs.
Since the entire floor belonged to Su Yang’s company, the receptionist had already moved to the elevator.
The receptionist smiled at Su Yang when she saw him. “Mr. Su, you’ve arrived!”
The lady at the front desk had a sweet smile that made people feel comfortable looking at her. Su Yang replied with a smile and asked, “By the way, did Bubbles come to work?”
The receptionist shook her head. “No. Miss Bubbles usually comes to work at noon.”
When Su Yang heard that, he knew that he was early again. Hence, he could not help but ask, “Is Mr. Cheng here?”
The lady at the front desk nodded. “Mr. Cheng came in awhile ago.”
Su Yang waved his hand. “You carry on then. I’ll have a chat with Mr. Cheng.”
The receptionist smiled again and added, “Mr. Su, your movie was very good.”
Su Yang smiled as he walked in. “Thank you.”
Su Yang knocked on the door when he arrived at the general manager’s office. Zhao Licheng’s calm voice came through the door. “Come in.”
Su Yang pushed the door open and walked in.
Zhao Licheng was writing something on the desk when someone came in. Out of habit, he raised his head and saw that it was Su Yang. He immediately put down his pen and stood up. “Mr. Su, you’re here?”
Su Yang nodded and gestured for him to sit down. “Yes, I’m here to take a look.”
It was polite to knock on the door and enter the office just now, but now that he was inside, Su Yang was much more casual. He casually dragged a chair over and sat down before asking, “What are you busy with?”
Zhao Licheng sat back in his chair and said, “I’m coming up with the company’s plans for the new year.”
Then he added, “I noticed that the management of this company is a little messy and it doesn’t have a detailed annual plan.”
Su Yang nodded his head. He had to admit that even though his corporations were not small, he was just an amateur whose organization structure had never been perfected.
Su Yang said, “Yes, that’s true. That’s why I need you to help me sort out the company.”
Su Yang then asked, “How’s the tidying up coming along?”
Zhao Licheng said, “It’s almost done. The plan is almost completed. I plan to hire a market research company on the market and confirm a few cities suitable for setting up new companies. Then, I’ll start building branch companies and expand our business.”
Su Yang replied, “You can go ahead and decide.”
“By the way, I’ll hand over the company’s information, business and resources to you in the next two days. You can handle them together and see if they can be combined or if they are suitable for development.”
“I know nothing about business, so I still have to rely on you.”
Zhao Licheng smiled. “There’s nothing to rely on. You’re the one who gave me a second chance at life. I’ll definitely do my best to manage the company.”
[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Sincere], [Sincere]...
Su Yang was very satisfied with Zhao Licheng’s attitude.
After that, the two of them chatted for a while more. Before they left, Su Yang casually mentioned about the 500 million yuan purchase of shares. As it was just a casual conversation, Su Yang did not notice Zhao Licheng’s awkward expression when he walked out of the door.
When they arrived at the film company, Su Yang called all the special effects staff in front of him and told them about “Wandering Planet”. Firstly, he told them that there was going to be a big project coming soon and secondly, he told them that if they knew anyone who had decent skills in special effects, they could introduce the person to the company.
After arranging the work, Bubbles finally arrived.
She was wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt and the sleeves were rolled up on her arms. She was wearing a blue prison uniform, her hair was green and there was something shiny around her neck.
‘No matter how I looked at it, it looks weird.’
The moment Su Yang saw her strange appearance, he got angry. He pinched her ear and dragged her back to the office.
“Aiyo! Aiyo! Su Yang, let go of me!” Bubbles yelled while struggling.
Su Yang closed the office door and let go of her. “You’re learning all these bad habits every day. Just what are you wearing?”
Bubbles rubbed her ears and looked at Su Yang with a wronged expression. “I think I’m learning pretty well. I’m cosplaying a big sister from the North Star.”
Su Yang was confused.
‘North Star? There’s even a big sister?
‘Are young people nowadays so high-spirited that even the North Star has been feminized?’
Su Yang sized Bubbles up for a while. He could not tell what the North Star looked like, but her neck was shining like the North Star. He fiddled with it and asked, “This is the North Star?”
Bubbles rolled his eyes at Su Yang. “North Star is a nickname, not an item. I have a bomb collar around my neck.”
Su Yang was dumbfounded. ‘Bomb?’
Perhaps sensing Su Yang’s worry, Bubbles added, “It’s fake, it’s fake. I’m cosplaying, not courting death.”
Su Yang glared at her like a father who expected better from his daughter. “I feel that you are courting death.”
“Other cosplayers are all good actors, but what about you? You’re either a pervert, a killer, or a prisoner. Can’t you be more normal?”
“There are so many good-looking characters and costumes. Why didn’t you choose them?”
Bubbles pouted. “Hmph, they’re cool. I like them.”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘I don’t think there’s any point in continuing this topic. It’d be better if I were to educate her slowly...’
With that thought in mind, he decided not to discuss it further and told her his decision. “No matter how cool you think it is, you still can’t follow them. You’re to dress more normally in the future!”
Then, ignoring Bubbles’ reaction, he cunningly changed the topic. “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Come, let me see how the video is going.”
