The contract was signed. Each of them had a copy. Yi Jingxi casually glanced at the lady’s name—Brenner Hayley.
“Mr. Yi, please make a trip to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau with me for the change registration. I heard that the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is not far from here. We’ll meet at 4:30 at the entrance.” The middle-aged woman elegantly stood up, then quickly left with her people.
Looking at the contract, Yi Jingxi searched through his memory for that woman’s name.
Seeing him staying motionless, Zeng Zhun asked, “Mr. Yi, what’s wrong?”
“I feel strange about this,” Yi Jingxi closed the files, thought for a moment and then said, “Don’t you feel that this Brenner Hayley purchased my shares a bit too quickly? She didn’t even try to lower the price. You see, the other companies…”
“Mr. Yi, you only need the money to be wired into your account as agreed,” Zeng Zhun reminded him. “No matter why she bought the shares from you, that’s her own business. Besides, our country has a great population. Every year, we top the box office rank. It’s completely reasonable for foreign businesspeople to target this cake.”
Yi Jingxi pondered for a short time, then adjusted his tie and stood up.
On hour later, Yi Jingxi and Brenner Hayley did the change registration inside the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Everything was settled.
As they walked to the bureau entrance, Yi Jingxi paused and said, “Ms. Hayley, now that we’ve gone through all the procedures. About the company…”
“Mr. Yi, you have been leading the company for the last couple of years. I believe that of everyone, you know the company’s current situation best. I’d like to invite you to dinner, so we can talk about the current state of the company and the film and television industry in detail.” Brenner Hayley invited him with a smile.
Yi Jingxi paused briefly, then nodded.
He guessed that Brenner Hayley must have a powerful background, as she paid billions of yuan without difficulty. Becoming friends with someone like that would do no bad for him.
At that point, Brenner Hayley’s chauffeur drove her Mercedes-Benz up. She raised an arm, invited Yi Jingxi into the car, “Mr. Yi, let’s talk in the car. I’ll tell one of my people to drive your car, so that we’ll have enough room.”
“Drive my car, follow us,” Yi Jingxi said to Zeng Zhun, and then stepped into the Benz.
He sat in the back seat, then found that the person who followed him into the back seat was Brenner Hayley’s young assistant. Brenner Hayley herself took the front seat.
Yi Jingxi was surprised. Brenner Hayley turned back and explained, “I’m sorry. I get carsick, so I usually take the front.”
Yi Jingxi understood. Indeed, many people who had car sickness found their symptoms lightened slightly when they sat in the front. “Then I guess it was a hard trip for you to travel from abroad,” he said.
“I’ve taken the pills, of course, yet still, I threw up a few times.”
Yi Jingxi nodded, then said, “Which restaurant do you prefer? I guess you’re not familiar with An City. Why don’t I…”
“I grew up here,” Brenner Hayley interrupted him, and continued, “But this place has changed a lot.”
Yi Jingxi was stunned a little. “May I ask how long since you left the city?”
“About twenty years.”
“That’s a very long time,” Yi Jingxi sighed, “This city is developing well now. There are many good restaurants. Why don’t I recommend one…”
“No need. I’ve already booked a table.”
Yi Jingxi knitted his brows, as he was interrupted yet again. He could understand though. He was not as rich and powerful as he had been before, and now involved in a lawsuit. Besides, many people who lived abroad had a superiority complex.
During the rest of the drive, he didn’t say anything else. Brenner Hayley had been looking at her phone the whole time. Her assistant who was sitting next to Yi Jingxi was looking out of the window, motionless.
