Chapter 359: Being Too Popular Is Also A Burden (3)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mr. Bo’s face looked somewhat embarrassed. “Who told you to come in?”
“I just wanted to greet the guests.” Bo Qin’s gaze swept across Yan Ruo and Jin Yuhua’s faces. He smiled and said, “So it’s Miss Yan and Assistant Jin. What a rare guest.”
Jin Yuhua sensed the distance in his words and nodded slightly as she said, “We should have come to visit more often when we were in A-City. However, Ah Ruo and I have been busy coordinating with the company’s publicity. We didn’t have time. I’m really sorry.”
She was indicating the contributions they made to the adaptation of the comic into a movie or TV series.
To shut Bo Qin’s mouth.
However, Bo Qin had already made up his mind to terminate the cooperation with Yan Ruo. How could he let her off just because of her insignificant words?
Bo Qin smiled and said mockingly, “Were you busy cooperating with the publicity, or were you busy ruining your image? 1 heard that our company spent three months and a huge sum of money to negotiate a joint live broadcast with Cool Comics. Miss Yan had a black face throughout and even attempted to leave midway. After it ended, she even assaulted Cool Comics staff.”
“I don’t think any comic artist with professional integrity would do such a stupid thing, right?”
Mr. Bo was displeased and said, “Bo Qin, Ah Ruo has acknowledged her mistake. Don’t be so aggressive.”
“The person who violated the contract is Miss Yan. I only pointed out her mistake. How can you say that I’m aggressive?” Bo Qin showed no intention of backing down and continued, “My father is too embarrassed to say that on account of the friendship between the two families. However, for the benefit of all the members of our company, I have to make it clear.”
“Your actions this time have already caused Yonghui Film and Television Company to lose nearly 50 million yuan. 1 won’t sue you, but 1 can’t continue to watch you act recklessly. Now, 1’11 give you two choices. One, we don’t terminate the contract and continue to fulfill the contract. However, we have to lower the standards for the promotion of your comic. After all, with your current fame, you’re no longer worthy of the best publicity.”
“Second, you can terminate the contract with Yonghui and pay us 120 million yuan according to the terms. We’ll sign a contract with Ningxin again and promote her work wholeheartedly.”
The first choice that Bo Qin gave was also on account of the friendship between the two families.
Not giving up on Yan Ruo and continuing to promote her.
The company could still make a profit, just not as much as investing in Jiang Yining.
However, at least it could recover the company’s losses and give the directors a satisfactory explanation.
The second choice completely ignored their relationship.
When Bo Qin said this, the expressions of the other three people in the room changed.
Mr. Bo slammed the table angrily. “Bo Qin, do you still have me in your eyes?”
“Dad, of course. But this morning, when I attended the board meeting, they had already unanimously approved my proposal. You can’t disregard everyone’s wishes and stubbornly sacrifice the company’s interests to indulge Miss Yan, right?” Bo Qin calmly looked at his father.
Mr. Bo thought, “All the directors agreed? Such a big matter was actually held without my approval! How outrageous!”
Old Master Bo almost fainted.
Yan Ruo’s eyes were filled with tears. She had humbled herself, but in exchange, she faced such humiliation.
How could she swallow this injustice?
Yan Ruo was about to say she would terminate the contract but was firmly pressed on the shoulder by Jin Yuhua.
Jin Yuhua said,” Young Master Bo is right. It’s our fault this time. We can completely understand your two proposals. Mr. Bo, don’t be angry with Young Master Bo. When we talk about business, the first thing is profit, and the second is friendship. You have already made a significant concession, and we are very grateful. Please don’t sacrifice your father-son relationship with Young Master Bo for the sake of our All Ruo.”
At this point, she turned to look at Bo Qin and said, “Young Master Bo, the two choices you proposed. Can you give us two days to consider?”
“Of course.”
Bo Qin answered readily.
“Thank you.”
Jin Yuhua bowed at a 90-degree angle. Then, she pulled Yan Ruo up with a smile devoid of any warmth and said, “We’ll leave first. We’ll visit again another day.”
Old Master Bo wanted to say something to retain them.
But Bo Qin deliberately blocked his line of sight and said, “Dad, things have already come to this. It’s useless no matter what you say.”
Old Master Bo glared at him.
He watched helplessly as Jin Yuhua and Yan Ruo left.
Creak.
Jin Yuhua and Yan Ruo left the room and closed the door.
The next moment…
Bo Qin knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake. “Day, 1 shouldn’t have held a board meeting behind your back. But 1 did it for the company’s sake. If you want to hit me or scold me, 1 won’t complain at all. But on the matter of dealing with Miss Yan, I won’t compromise. The directors also firmly support my decision.”
Old Master Bo raised his hand high and slapped the back of his head.. “You cunning boy! What’s the use of me hitting you and scolding you now? You’ve embarrassed me!”
