“No need.” Meng Jisoo’s tone was very cold. “I can fight for what I want on my own. Can you move aside now?”

You Rowoon knew that he had said something wrong, but he was still unable to apologize. He said through gritted teeth, “If you don’t agree to come back to me, I’ll never leave this spot. And… you’ll never get any acting roles! I mean it!”

“Let’s wait and see then.” Meng Jisoo knew that he was unreasonable, so she didn’t care about getting into her car. She turned around and started walking away. 

“Wait!” You Rowoon called out to stop her.

Meng Jisoo turned her head. “Is there something else?”

You Rowoon looked at her with a burning gaze. His clenched hands were shaking. Under Meng Jisoo’s gaze, he walked a few steps to the left, giving up his position in front of the car door.

Meng Jisoo stepped forward, opened the car door, and got in. You Rowoon continued to stand in front of her car. 

After the two had been in a stalemate for a while, Meng Jisoo lowered her car window. Happiness appeared on You Rowoon’s face. Just as he was about to speak, Meng Jisoo furrowed her brow and said, “Move your car away.”

The smile on You Rowoon’s face stiffened. Wilting, he entered his car and drove his car forward a short distance. He watched on as Meng Jisoo drove away, and then he slapped himself.

At the same time, Ye Lisa brought Meng Jisoo’s endorsement contract to Jungkook. “CEO Jeon, here’s a contract. Please look it over.”

Jungkook flipped through it and nodded. “Thank you for your hard work.”

“Just doing what I should. It’s not tiring at all.” Ye Lisa thought it over and cheekily smiled. “Can I borrow some of your time to discuss an investment with you?”

“Investment?” Jungkook smiled. “You finally planned out your investment idea?”

“Didn’t we previously talk about making an investment in the film and television industry? I already have a specific investment target now.”

“Who?” Jungkook straightened up and seriously looked at her. 

“A young, new director’s work. It's sure to be an instant hit. Ning Yang’s Qinhua’s Riverside.”

“How much for the investment?”

Ye Lisa raised five fingers.

“50 million yuan?”

“Hearts linked as one think alike.”

Jungkook tried to search through information on Ning Yang on his computer. “You can go to the Investment Department and ask them to evaluate the likelihood of return on this investment budget. If they’re sure…”

Ye Lisa pressed down on his keyboard. Smiling, she said, “This is his first independent produced work. There’s nothing for you to search.”

Jungkook looked at her with a “Are you serious?” look.

Ye Lisa looked at it from Jungkook’s perspective. If someone asked her to spend 50 million yuan on a director that had no proven success record, her first response would also be to think that person was crazy.

Nowadays, the film industry is in a slump. Only a few movies made more than 100 million yuan. You had to be crazy to spend 50 million yuan on a director that had no success record.

Ye Lisa contemplated for a moment. “At the current price, how much is the the company’s stocks that grandpa gave me worth?”

Jungkook thought about it for a little bit. He gave a rough estimate instead of an exact number, “Nine digits.”

“Nine digits…” Ye Lisa was speechless after counting. “100 million? Several hundreds of million?”

“If you want to know the exact amount, I can have someone calculate it for you, but I think it’ll take some time.”

“No need. How about this? I’ll pledge all of the shares I have to you and you lend me 50 million yuan? If I don’t make the money back, you can keep the collateral.”

This was the best possible deal. There was no way that Jungkook would refuse.

“Exchanging 10% of the company’s shares for 50 million yuan.” Jungkook helplessly laughed. He took out a check from his drawer and handed it to Ye Lisa after he filled it out.

Ye Lisa saw that Jungkook handed her the check without hesitation. Stunned, she didn’t return to her senses for a long time.

“You’re going to give it to me, just like that? You’re not worried that I’ll lose it all?”

For the first time, Ye Lisa felt that money was hot to touch. This check was clearly only a light piece of paper, and yet it felt so heavy in her hand. 

This wasn’t 5 thousand yuan or 50 thousand yuan. It was 50 million yuan!
