"Not right, with Yang Wenying’s current regard for you, you’re definitely in line for a promotion by the end of the year," Su Hai rejected the suggestion, "Otherwise, if someone else comes to me for a screenplay, why don’t I just tell them to go directly to ’Rebirth’?"
This was an outright threat.
Sheng Ning glared at him angrily, knowing she couldn’t twist an arm stronger than her own, she straightforwardly extended her index finger.
"Ten thousand yuan per screenplay," Sheng Ning said irritably.
"That expensive?" Su Hai’s eyes widened, "I might as well just get you promoted!"
"If you don’t agree, then forget it, I don’t want to be the laughingstock in the future for selling a screenplay too cheaply." Thanks to Su Hai, the reputation of ’Rebirth’ had already made its mark. People outside who wanted to buy works of ’Rebirth’ were already offering more than this amount.
And most crucially, the price of screenplays was expected to multiply by dozens each year in the future. She didn’t want to be mocked later on for selling them at dirt-cheap prices.
"Deal! Bring the screenplay to my office in a week."
"Fine!" The man was indeed treacherous, but his credibility was also real.
Su Hai shook his head and walked into the surveillance room, his face’s smile frosting over instantly upon seeing Qin Cuifen.
This was his first face-to-face encounter with Qin Cuifen, and for some reason, the disgust in his heart nearly reached a level he could not control.
He even had a strange intuition as if he had been deceived by someone for many years, making many regretful mistakes.
The thought almost suffocated Su Hai with pain.
"Director Su!" Qin Cuifen looked at him in terror.
Su Hai closed his eyes slightly, his voice enchanting as a spell, "Call me uncle."
Qin Cuifen’s face lit up with joy, almost jumping with excitement. "Uncle, you are my real uncle..."
"Mm! That’s the voice." Su Hai opened his eyes, a cold gleam flickering within, "No matter how I listen, it just doesn’t sit right with me, like a thorn in my back." The pain piercing to the heart, the regret, felt as if it had indeed happened.
Qin Cuifen stepped backward in fear; she couldn’t even stand steadily in front of Su Hai.
"You’ve got some nerve. Should I say that ignorance is bliss to you? Or that you’re courting death?" Su Hai’s expression was serious, even troubled as he stroked his chin, contemplating: "Death is too easy! Daring to scheme against me, against the Su Family, you must pay the price."
"You’re the devil... you are the devil..." Qin Cuifen was genuinely terrified to death.
"Your mother said the same thing; you and she are quite alike in that regard."
"What? You’ve been to our hometown?" Qin Cuifen truly didn’t know about this; had she known, she certainly wouldn’t have foolishly taken someone else’s place. It was all Hai Lan’s fault; she must have known but deliberately withheld it from her, waiting to see her become a laughing stock.
Su Hai moved his wrists around and called out: "Someone come here."
"Yes!" The guard responded immediately and executed the order without hesitation.
Before Su Hai left, he sincerely said, "Good luck!"
Half an hour later in the conference room, Yang Wenying received a hastily relayed message from her assistant.
"What? Released?" Yang Wenying asked in surprise.
"Who released her?" The reason she continued to detain Qin Cuifen was not only to punish but also to protect her.
Having done something like destroying a person’s face, being released at this time could likely result in someone else disfiguring her face. As far as she knew, neither Sheng Ning nor Chen Huaying were the type to let bygones be bygones easily.
