Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Why Are You So Excited?_1

"Remember, when I was in Zhenzi Country, I did meet him. Is this related to him?" Wei Haoran asked.

"Yes, you know the situation on my side. I just spoke with him on the phone. He said Lixing Company will only sell the TV rights to us if you transfer the agency rights for ’Endless Survival’ to him. Of course, he also said that he would not let you suffer a loss but rather pay a premium of ten million to buy the agency rights," Jiang Wenrui said.

"He wants the agency rights for a mere ten million premium? He must be dreaming. This game could be a huge hit," Wei Haoran said with a cold laugh, then furrowed his brows, puzzlement evident in his voice, "What’s that guy’s relationship with Lixing Company that he can make them do this?"

"Lixing Company belongs to Shen Dong," Jiang Wenrui said helplessly.

"What!" Wei Haoran was stunned.

He had not expected that Lixing Company, the recent overlord in the film and TV resources field, was owned by Shen Dong.

"Old Wei, if it weren’t so, I wouldn’t be asking for your help," Jiang Wenrui said bitterly.

"Even so, isn’t he being too arrogant? To think he could threaten us at Penguin," Wei Haoran said gravely.

Penguin was a giant; not many dared to offend, let alone threaten it.

If Penguin got angry, the other party would be doomed.

"There’s no choice. They are holding so many TV rights now; we at Penguin Video have to bow our heads."

"Our Penguin Group can’t just go after him over such a trivial matter, right?"

"That’s why you should just give him the agency rights for ’Endless Survival.’ After all, he said he will buy it at a premium of ten million; you won’t be losing out," Jiang Wenrui said helplessly.

"Not losing out my ass, I’m losing big time," Wei Haoran said angrily, "Do you realize that this is a game that will be a hit, do you realize how much revenue this will bring to our Penguin Games? By my estimates, we are looking at several billions at least. You ask me to give up the agency rights for ’Endless Survival’? Impossible!"

"Old Wei, if you don’t give in, our Penguin Video is going to go under. You have to look at the bigger picture," Jiang Wenrui urged.

"What bigger picture? You’re just here to screw me over. I don’t believe that Lixing Company is the only one with TV rights. I’ve seen the news; Dongsheng Company also has hoarded a lot of TV rights. You can totally buy from Dongsheng Company," Wei Haoran said dismissively.

"Old Wei, you only know the surface of things. Dongsheng Company is in cahoots with Lixing Company. Apart from these two, other companies have pitifully few TV rights," Jiang Wenrui said with a wry smile.

"Is that so?" Wei Haoran frowned, "I heard that Dongsheng Company was acquired by Wang Xiaocong. Is Wang Xiaocong in bed with Shen Dong? Why don’t I believe you? It seems like an exaggeration. Who is Wang Xiaocong? Would he share his pants with someone else, listen to Shen Dong?"

He truly did not believe it. Wang Xiaocong was also in the gaming business, and Wei Haoran had met him and roughly knew what kind of person he was.

That guy didn’t take many of his peers seriously.

Shen Dong wasn’t worth it for Wang Xiaocong to go that far.

"Why would I lie to you? Right now, Wang Xiaocong and Shen Dong are very close, and they are even taking the lead with Shen Dong," Jiang Wenrui said.

"Wang Xiaocong is the son of the richest man. Is that Shen Dong really that incredible?" Wei Haoran frowned.

"Yes, he is that incredible," Jiang Wenrui sighed, "But let’s get back to the topic of the game agency rights."

"Old Jiang, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but this game is really important to our Penguin Games. I’m putting my foot down; I absolutely won’t give up the agency rights," Wei Haoran said resolutely.

"Old Wei, was everything I said just a waste of breath?" Jiang Wenrui said, at a loss for words.

"Anyway, I’m not going to give up the agency rights. As for your situation, you’ll have to figure it out yourself—I’m powerless to help," Wei Haoran said.

"Old Wei, if you’re going to talk like that, I’m going to call Mr. Ma," Jiang Wenrui said.

"Even if you go to Mr. Ma, my answer will be the same. Old Jiang, and I’m not just saying this—you’d probably get an earful if you did. Do you think Penguin Group can be threatened?" Wei Haoran scoffed coldly.

"Even if I get scolded, I still have to find him. Otherwise, Penguin Video is done for. I’m going to contact Mr. Ma right now. You just wait," Jiang Wenrui hung up the phone.

He really had no other choice; without Mr. Ma, he couldn’t solve the problem.

This was a matter of life and death for Penguin Video.

He had to report to Mr. Ma, even if it meant getting scolded.

So, he dialed Mr. Ma’s number.

Chen Yuting returned home.

Sitting on the living room sofa and scrolling through her phone, Feng Lijuan saw Chen Yuting come in with a somewhat off mood and asked, "What’s wrong, didn’t you get the job?"

"Yeah," Chen Yuting nodded.

"Yuting, listen to me, just go to Dongyan Media. You can be part of the management and see Shen Dong. You two could just..." Feng Lijuan began.

Before she could finish, Chen Yuting interrupted, "Mom, please stop talking. I’m really annoyed. I’m going back to my room."

She headed to the bedroom.

"Wait a minute!" Feng Lijuan finally realized that Chen Yuting was not upset just because of a failed job interview and quickly blocked her way, "Tell me what really happened, what’s going on?"

"Mom, stop asking," Chen Yuting shook her head, unwilling to speak.

"No, you have to come clean with me, or you’re not going anywhere," Feng Lijuan insisted, pulling her daughter to sit on the sofa.

Chen Yuting, with no other choice, admitted, "Mom, the owner of Lixing Company is Shen Dong."

"What!" Feng Lijuan’s eyes widened, "Yuting, you’re not joking, are you?"

Chen Yuting gave a bitter smile, "Mom, I’m not in the mood for jokes."

Feng Lijuan came to her senses, excitedly saying, "But you said Lixing Company is valued at over ten billion. That would mean Shen Dong is a billionaire. That’s really something—less than a year after graduation, and he’s already worth over ten billion."

Chen Yuting replied without enthusiasm, "Mom, him having a net worth of ten billion has nothing to do with you. Why are you getting so excited?"

Feng Lijuan glared at Chen Yuting, "How can it have nothing to do with me? You’re considering getting back together with him—I would be his mother-in-law. How could I not be excited? Mother-in-law to a billionaire—I could buy whatever I want!"

Thinking about the lavish life she could lead, Feng Lijuan trembled with excitement.

Chen Yuting shook her head, "Mom, whether or not Shen Dong and I could get back together is completely uncertain. Stop getting worked up over nothing."

Feng Lijuan glared at her daughter again, "What do you mean, uncertain? I’ve told you, as long as you talk to Shen Dong, you can get back together. But you just won’t listen. Take my advice, rest for a bit and then go find Shen Dong. Reconcile with him today!"
