Sheng Shaochen’s reaction toward Ye Shu was noted by Song Xiaoxin, who, seeing that Sheng Shaochen didn’t extend a helping hand to assist Ye Shu in turning the situation around, felt her heart brimming with joy.
Previously, she thought Ye Shu was formidable, holding a significant place in Sheng Shaochen’s heart, but seeing the situation now, it seemed insignificant.
That meant, she, Song Xiaoxin, also held some weight in Sheng Shaochen’s heart; it was for this reason that Sheng Shaochen had considered her feelings and refrained from helping Ye Shu. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel·fiɾe·net
Yu Manting was truly out of options, she turned to look at Ye Shu and apologetically said, "Sorry, Mr. Ye, it seems we can only discuss this collaboration later."
After just a few hours, Yu Manting’s fondness for Ye Shu had consistently risen. Just now, when Ou Linlin went to open the door for her, she had already secretly decided to assign the script to Ye Shu, in gratitude for Ye Shu’s sincere heart.
Little did she expect that Song Xiaoxin would be so ruthless, directly causing her to lose face, and leaving her no choice but to compromise reluctantly.
However, just as she was about to sign her name, Yu Manting, on the script authorization document, she suddenly heard Ye Shu shout, "Wait a moment!"
With a look of helplessness, Yu Manting turned to Ye Shu and said, "Speak, Mr. Ye, whatever it is, don’t hesitate."
Ye Shu said, "Teacher Yu, I know that a good script, for a writer, is the result of a fusion of heart and soul. If it is signed over to someone who doesn’t understand it, it will undoubtedly destroy the life of the entire script. Only by giving it to us, allowing the accomplished director Sun Nanjue to take charge, can the spirit of ’Red Fox’ be truly captured, ensuring your years of effort were not in vain."
"I..." Ye Shu’s words directly struck the most desperate place in Yu Manting’s heart, causing her to involuntarily shed tears of despair. "Mr. Ye, I really have no other option..."
Suddenly, Ye Shu reached out and grasped Yu Manting’s hand, saying, "There is a way, Teacher Yu, as long as you’re willing to collaborate with us, I can ensure your efforts won’t be wasted."
"Oh, did I hear that right, young Mr. Ye," sneered Song Xiaoxin. "Just a script, right? Heart and soul? Really, no matter how nicely or emotionally you put it, what does it matter? Five billion, young Mr. Ye, even the Heng Kong Group, no matter how much you brag, can’t come up with that much money. How are you going to help her? Tell me, how?"
Reporters also began to ask, "Right, Lady Ye Shu, how are you going to help? Your Heng Kong Group isn’t even fully operational yet, it would be best not to meddle in extra affairs."
"Considering the current situation, five billion for you might as well be an astronomical number, Mr. Ye. It takes a vast capability to support such a massive responsibility. If you really can’t, it’s better not to overreach, otherwise, it could harm not only yourself but also your partners and friends."
With a smile, Song Xiaoxin walked up to Ye Shu and, looking at Ye Shu’s helpless expression, delightfully said, "Ye Shu, what I love most is seeing your face right now, wanting to show off, trying to outdo me, but in the end, utterly helpless. It’s too cute, perfect, I love it, hahaha!"
At this moment, Sheng Shaochen, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, but he wasn’t addressing Song Xiaoxin, nor Ye Shu, nor the media reporters!
He gently pinched Little Baozi’s tender, fair cheek, whispering very softly into Little Baozi’s ear, "Hey, hey, hey, wake up, son, someone is bullying your Sister Ye Shu!"
