Domination of the Aristocratic Dynasty After a Body Swap with the CEO

Chapter 44

Zeng Mingsong finally spoke up: "Young Master Song, we've already signed the contract..."

Song Lecheng impatiently cut him off: "How much is the penalty fee? I'll pay it. Let her take the money and get lost as soon as possible."

After the mall conflict, he had endured silently for so long, what was it all for? It was for this moment!

He wanted to humiliate Zhong Ruanxing right in front of her, to let her know the consequences of offending him. He had been too lenient to her before, only giving her some minor suppression as punishment. He should have made her understand the ruthlessness of capital long ago!

As Song JinXing looked at that extremely arrogant face, the expression on it didn't hide his intentions at all: You think this is over? No, this is just the beginning! From now on, every TV series and variety show you participate in, I will do the same until you can't get any more work and have to crawl out of the entertainment industry in embarrassment!

What gave him the confidence?

HuaGuang Media? No, HuaGuang Media relied on the Song Group. What he really relied on was still the Song family.

No one expected things to develop to this point. Zhong Ruanxing had really offended this young master too badly. Such humiliation, few artists could withstand it. Everyone secretly glanced at the female second lead's reaction, but saw that she was still calm and unhurried.

"30 million?" She even laughed and said, "The prestigious young master of the Song family, isn't 30 million a bit too petty?"

What kind of person did she think Song Lecheng was? When he took over the company, he had already investigated the details of these Song family relatives clearly. Apart from the recreational HuaGuang Media, Song Lecheng had no other businesses under him. He relied on his parents and was just a playboy third generation.

Even HuaGuang Media operated according to the Song Group's procedures, relying on the Song Group's connections and resources to develop. If left to operate on his own, it would have gone bankrupt long ago.

On the surface, HuaGuang Media was operated by Song Lecheng, but the controlling stake still belonged to the Song Group.

It was only because the Song Group's focus wasn't on the entertainment industry, otherwise how could he have had the chance to grandstand like this?

Song JinXing's words made Song Lecheng burn with anger.

Not only did she not beg for mercy, she actually dared to despise him?!

How could the title of Young Master Song sound so unpleasant coming from her mouth?!

The ridicule in her playful tone irritated Song Lecheng so much that he gritted his teeth: "30 million may not be much, but it's enough to deal with you. Will you leave on your own, Miss Zhong, or shall I have someone escort you out?"

Song JinXing fiddled with the teacup: "For business matters, of course business methods should be used to resolve them. What do you think, Director Zeng?"

Zeng Mingsong's expression had already turned quite ugly.

Zhong Ruanxing was personally chosen by him. For Song Lecheng to humiliate Zhong Ruanxing like this was also a slap in his face!

The Song family! The Song family! Did they really think the Song family could cover the sky with one hand? If Zhong Ruanxing didn't unleash her final move soon, he would have to do it himself!

Fortunately, Zhong Ruanxing finally spoke up. Zeng Mingsong sat up straight in anticipation and followed up: "That goes without saying. Investment is a business after all, I'm sure Young Master Song thinks so too?"

Song Lecheng's face was gloomy: "No need for riddles, just say it straight."

Song JinXing slowly replied: "Young Master Song is investing 30 million to kick me off the crew. Then I'm investing 80 million. I wonder if I can ask Young Master Song to leave the scene?"

Song Lecheng burst into laughter as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: "80 million? Zhong Ruanxing, you really are desperately clutching at straws, to be able to spew such lies! Forget about 80 million, if you can take out 800,000 right now I'll leave immediately!"

Did she think he didn't know about her family circumstances?

He was fully aware of every TV series, variety show, and promotional event she had worked on over the years, as well as how much she was paid. If he wanted to know her remuneration, wasn't it easy to find out?

He had also investigated her family background. She had an elderly mother with early-onset dementia, a father who worked in a restaurant, and a younger sister in kindergarten. With only two main sources of income to support the family's living expenses, they could only barely make ends meet.

He could make a good guess as to how much money she had in her card.

800,000 was just a passing gift of jewelry or bag when he was chasing girls, but for her it was hard-earned savings she had scrimped for years.

Thinking of this made Song Lecheng even angrier.

Even so, she was still unwilling to accept his goodwill! She should have been more obedient, then she could have gained boundless wealth and privilege. But she insisted on going against him! What an ungrateful bitch!

Ignoring his malicious gaze, Song JinXing nodded in realization and said to Zeng Mingsong: "Director Zeng, do you have the contract ready?"

Even Ran Wen could find out there was a new investor joining tonight. The crew must have prepared the investment contract in advance.

Zeng Mingsong had been waiting all night and didn't expect the final move to be this at all.

Fight money with money???

But...do you really have that much money?

Zeng Mingsong didn't ask aloud, because the expression on the female second lead's face that he had personally selected was just too calm.

Calm to the point that he had no choice but to believe her words.

He pondered for two seconds, then quietly instructed his assistant. The assistant quickly left the scene, clearly going to fetch the contract.

No one had expected things to develop like this in the end.

80 million! That was 80 million! Good heavens, they were just a spy thriller! They didn't need nearly that much investment!

No, that wasn't the issue. The issue was how could Zhong Ruanxing possibly have 80 million! Kuo An'an was more likely!

But looking at the enraged Young Master Song, no one dared to interrupt at this moment, only bowed their heads quietly waiting.

The assistant soon returned, indeed holding a few new contracts in his hands. The one prepared for Song Lecheng could no longer be used. These were freshly printed by him. But the contract contents hadn't changed much, just modifying the basic information of Party B to Zhong Ruanxing's personal information.

Song JinXing simply raised his hand, exuding the air of a top boss. The assistant obediently handed the contract over.

Watching him sit there flipping through the contract leisurely and calmly, Song Lecheng sneered: "Zhong Ruanxing, think carefully. Once you sign this contract, whether you have 80 million or not you'll have to take out 80 million!"

Song JinXing ignored him and skimmed through the contract. Confirming there were no issues, he raised his hand sideways and the assistant reflexively stood straight and handed over a pen.

After handing it over, the assistant felt strange. Damn, why was he so deferential to a small actor?

Song JinXing swiftly signed Zhong Ruanxing's name and handed it back to the assistant. The assistant first showed it to Zeng Mingsong, then passed it to the producer of The Spy. As long as the producer signed it, the contract would take effect.

The process went so smoothly that those who had thought Zhong Ruanxing was just bluffing began to waver.

Song Lecheng finally couldn't sit still: "Wait! How do I know this isn't a setup by you guys? Pretend to sign the contract first, then tear it up to invalidate it after I leave?"

Zeng Mingsong's tone had already turned cold: "Then what does Young Master Song suggest?"

Song Lecheng gnashed his teeth: "I want to watch her transfer the money in front of me!"

Song JinXing laughed and said to the producer: "President Chen, please check the company account."

President Chen was somewhat baffled. To be honest, he didn't want to sign this contract. Signing it clearly meant offending Young Master Song, this petty young master. Who knew what other methods he would come up with to target the crew of The Spy next time?

But Zeng Mingsong had given him a lot of hints, appearing determined to stand on Zhong Ruanxing's side.

Zhong Ruanxing wasn't important, but Director Zeng was very important... But Young Master Song was also very important...

His head was spinning!

In fact, their crew didn't really lack money at all! Whether it was 30 million or 80 million, it was just icing on the cake. More than increasing investment, he hoped that The Spy could smoothly finish filming without any more trouble.

At this time, hearing those words, he quickly contacted his secretary to check the company account, and then received the secretary's reply: "President Chen, 80 million just entered the account. It was...it was transferred by Chairman Song of the Song Group in his personal capacity!"

Chairman Song of the Song Group?!

President Chen was shocked. The way he looked at Zhong Ruanxing now held a bit more awe.

Young Master Song was not to be provoked, but that Chairman Song could be provoked??? Compared to Young Master Song, he was nothing!

Zhong Ruanxing actually had such powerful backing... Why didn't you say so earlier!

President Chen hesitated no further. He briskly signed his name twice, then very enthusiastically walked up to Song JinXing and grasped his hand under Song Lecheng's murderous gaze: "Miss Zhong! Looking forward to our cooperation! From now on, you are not only an actor in The Spy, but also an investor. With you joining us, I believe our The Spy will definitely achieve glory!"

Song JinXing covertly withdrew his hand: "Nice doing business with you."

Great! At the end of this play, the second female lead transformed into their boss!

Amidst everyone's stunned expressions, Song JinXing indifferently looked towards Song Lecheng with an ugly expression: "The contract is signed, the 80 million is also transferred, can you get lost now?"
