Chapter 203 The Fairy Mother Who Wants Both
"Auntie, what do you mean? Do you still want to sign with Huayi?"
I don't quite understand what Tianxianma means. Is it because Mr. Jin's business is in trouble and he wants to find another backer?
"My daughter Xiaomei is destined for international success; signing with Huayi has no future!" Tianxian's mother quickly shook her head.
"So what do you mean?" I asked.
"Developing internationally doesn't preclude cooperation with domestic partners. Huayi has threatened to blacklist my Xiaomei; how can we cooperate with domestic companies then?"
"Immortal Mother said indignantly."
Hearing this, I understood; the fairy mother wanted both.
She didn't want to give up opportunities in China, but she also wanted to make a name for herself internationally.
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
"So you want Huayi to lift the ban on Xiaomei?" I asked.
"Um!"
Tianxian's mother nodded.
"Can you lower your head?" I asked.
"I'd even bow my head and kowtow once if I could!" said the fairy mother.
"What about signing the contract?" I asked.
"No, absolutely not!" Fairy Mom immediately shook her head.
"This is going to be difficult!" I said, somewhat troubled.
"Kobayashi, for our sake, you have to help us!"
Seeing me say that, Tianxia's mother turned to look at Fatty Lin and squeezed the hand that Fatty Lin had placed on her shoulder.
"Hey lunatic, call Brother Jun!"
Fatty Lin felt as if he had eaten shit.
What this guy did with Bai Yimei and her daughter is obvious.
I was feeling a bit choked up, but seeing him like this made me feel much better.
"Okay, okay, I'll hit him!"
I feigned helplessness and took my phone out of my pocket.
Seeing me take out my phone to make a call, Tianxian's mother touched Lin Pangzi's hand again.
I pretended not to see it and glanced at Bai Yimei's face. She had the same polite smile as before, but her mind was elsewhere.
"Brother Jun!"
After the call connected, I greeted them first.
"Thirteen, I heard you're doing quite well in Hong Kong lately!" Boss Wang teased.
The tone was a bit off; it sounded condescending.
Before this, he always spoke to me with a degree of caution, and he would never call me Thirteen directly.
"It's alright, thanks to my friends' support!" I said.
"Thirteen, you never call unless you have a reason. So, what's the matter this time?" Boss Wang said again.
"Brother Jun'er, is this what's going on? I heard that Huayi Brothers is going to blacklist Bai Yimei?" I asked tentatively.
"right!"
Without any hesitation, CEO Wang admitted directly, "We invested a lot of resources in her over the past few years. Her stepfather made all sorts of promises to us, saying he would sign her to our company. Now he's changed his mind. If we don't blacklist her, who else should we blacklist?"
Hearing the sudden increase in volume from my phone, I moved it further away and looked at Tianxian's mother sitting opposite me. She had also heard what Da Wang said and gave an awkward twitch of her lips.
"What, did someone ask you to mediate?"
Soon, a somewhat amused voice came from Da Wang.
"Brother Jun, has this matter eased up?" I didn't answer, but asked in return.
"Yes, of course there is! Why wouldn't there be?"
Boss Wang scoffed and said, "This matter won't be over until that mother and daughter come over to offer tea and apologize, and sign with my company!"
"Okay, I understand, Brother Jun'er. I'll treat you to a meal when I get back to Beijing!" I said.
"Alright, let's get together again when you two brothers return to Beijing!"
Mr. Wang smiled and hung up the phone.
I put down my phone and said to Tianxian's mother, "Auntie, you heard it too. Mr. Wang's meaning is very simple: he won't lift the blacklist unless Xiaomei signs!"
"Serving tea and admitting your mistake is fine, but signing this is absolutely unacceptable!" Tianxian's mother said resolutely.
"Don't be so absolute, think about it some more!" I said.
"Um!"
Seeing that I said that, Tianxian's mother reluctantly nodded.
Her behavior clearly indicates that she doesn't want to sign with Huayi.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll call someone else to ask about the situation!" Fatty Lin pressed harder on Tianxian's mother's shoulder, pulling her back down as she tried to get up.
"Who are you calling?" I asked.
"Give me money, Xiao Gang!" Fatty Lin said.
"Director Gang!"
The fairy mother's eyes lit up.
"Yes, that's him!"
Fatty Lin nodded, took out his phone, and called Qian Xiaogang.
"Gangzi, I want to ask you something!"
After the call connected, Fatty Lin was rather casual.
"Kobayashi, what's up?"
Qian Xiaogang is also quite casual.
This tone is exactly the same as that of Boss Wang, no longer showing the caution and respect of before.
Fatty Lin also sensed something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said, "Gangzi, let me ask you something. What's going on between your company and Bai Yimei?"
"Xiao Lin, don't get involved in this. Bai Yimei has crossed a line, treating us like idiots. Unless she comes to apologize and signs with our company, there's no room for negotiation!"
Qian Xiaogang immediately said.
"Alright, I have something to do, I have to go now, let's talk another day!"
Before Lin Pangzi could reply, Qian Xiaogang hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Fatty Lin frowned.
Tianxian's mother stood up with a gloomy face and said, "Master Lin, Master Feng, I'm sorry to trouble you both. I'll think of something else for Xiaomei!"
After saying that, she waved to Bai Yimei and said, "Xiao Mei, let's go!"
Fatty Lin's expression changed slightly. He glanced at Bai Yimei and her mother, then forced a smile and said, "Let me see you off!"
Out of respect for Fatty Lin, I didn't blame Tianxian's mother for giving me the cold shoulder, and I also got up and walked out to see the mother and daughter off.
Last night, who knows what Fatty Lin was doing with that person, what he was saying to them!
It's normal for them to be rude now that they haven't kept their promise.
After seeing the mother and daughter off, on my way back upstairs, I nudged Fatty Lin and said, "You had a good time last night, and now you want me to clean up your mess, right?"
"You lunatic! That bastard Qian Xiaogang's attitude is wrong!"
Fatty Lin didn't respond, but instead started talking about Qian Xiaogang.
"It's not just him, even Boss Wang's attitude is wrong!" I said.
"Ever since we dealt with Qian Xiaogang last time, he's been acting like we're his grandsons. This time he's suddenly become tough. Something's definitely not right. Who gave him that confidence?" Fatty Lin said.
"I'll call Aunt Xiao and ask!" I thought for a moment and said.
Don't be fooled by the fact that all the noble ladies in Beijing's social circles look down on Concubine Xiao and think she's not presentable. They're just noble ladies. Their husbands and their servants still have to give Concubine Xiao some face, after all, Concubine Xiao is backed by the Third Master.
The call connected quickly. I exchanged a few greetings, and then Fatty Lin and Long Nier took over, chatting about all sorts of things to make Aunt Xiao happy. Fatty Lin then asked, seemingly casually, "Sis, Huayi has been acting pretty arrogant lately, especially Qian Xiaogang. Have they gotten involved with some big shot?"
"Qian Xiaogang can't even hide two ounces of sesame oil in his belly!"
Aunt Xiao snorted and said, "You guys are really well-informed. They've indeed got their hands on a big shot!"
