After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 381 - 382: The Person Sending Texts

The people at the table, upon hearing Leng Zimo’s words, all showed expressions of surprise and delight.

This project was a collaborative endeavor between Emperor View and Yan Huang Company, with both companies having already invested nearly ten million. It was due to a lapse in execution on Yan Huang’s part that such an unfavorable situation had arisen.

At this moment, instead of withdrawing his investment, Leng Zimo chose to increase it, giving them an opportunity. For Yan Huang Company, it was nothing short of a lifesaver.

It should be noted that the damage to the plan was entirely caused by Yan Huang, and according to the contract, if Leng Zimo had demanded compensation at this time, Yan Huang would have been obliged to indemnify Emperor View for their losses.

For Emperor View, a loss of ten million might not mean much, but for the smaller Yan Huang Company, ten million represented everything they had. Losing this project would mean bankruptcy for the company, and hundreds within the company would face unemployment.

Moved, Shangguan Yanhuang bowed deeply to Leng Zimo, "President Leng, rest assured, this time, we will give it our all!"

A soft clink was heard as several attendees from Yan Huang Company excitedly stood up and bowed to Leng Zimo.

The additional five million Leng Zimo provided was tantamount to saving Yan Huang’s life and the livelihood of all shareholders and employees of the company.

"Please, there’s no need for formalities!" Leng Zimo stood up, his face retaining its usual indifferent expression, "I only hope that you all can maximize the returns on Emperor View’s investment. However, I must remind you, this is your last chance. If you still fail to satisfy me this time, Emperor View will still seek compensation according to the contract. Ailin, please discuss the specifics of the cooperation with Mr. Shangguan. I must take my leave."

Leng Zimo turned and left the meeting room; Shangguan Yanhuang went over to Ailin to discuss the details of the revised contract.

"Just now, I was truly worried to the extreme," Shangguan Yanhuang said with residual fear as he sat down beside Ailin, "Fortunately, Mr. Leng has given us another chance. Ailin, I really must thank you for fighting for us."

Ailin returned his smile with one of her own, "This time, the person you should be thanking isn’t me, but that text message!"

"Text message?" Shangguan Yanhuang was taken aback and upon a moment’s reflection, he realized Leng Zimo’s demeanor seemed to have eased after receiving that message, "I remember Mr. Leng never used to bring his phone into the meeting room. That message must be important."

Ailin did not continue on this topic, but she knew very well that what mattered was not the content of the message but the person who had sent it.

"Shall we get back to the contract then?"

"Yes, let’s discuss the contract, the contract!"

The Mercedes stopped outside the alleys of Houhai. Accompanied by Yu Tong and two others, Luo Xiaoqian arrived smoothly at the shooting location within the alley. From a distance, she saw Xu Xiaoyang photographing an old man, weather-beaten and basking in the sun.

Upon seeing her, he immediately put down his camera and approached.

"Xiao Qian, long time no see!"

"Teacher Xu, I’m so sorry, I’ve been hectically busy these days and made you wait so long," Luo Xiaoqian said apologetically, smiling.

"Being busy is a good thing," Xu Xiaoyang said with a generous smile, "Shall we start now if there are no issues?"

"Yes!"

Luo Xiaoqian promptly handed her bag to Yu Tong, and Xu Xiaoyang’s assistants, such as the makeup artist and stylist, came over to start preparing her for the shoot.
