I'm Not Going to Be Bullied By a Girl Chapter 720: Son Repays Mother's Debt

Chapter 720: Son Repays Mother’s Debt

“It would be impossible to make Ai Mi leave the entertainment industry right now.” Ai ShuQiao refused Ren HongDe’s request.

“Then don’t expect to receive any shares of Qing Zi Education Group either, not even 1%.” Ren HongDe said, “Since you’re the one who’s insincere, the negotiations have broken down. I will think of another option for Ye Lin and his sister.”

Ren HongDe’s didn’t obtain such a large industry by being patient and accommodating, and he did not want to be led by the nose by Ai ShuQiao.

“Wait, Mr. Ren, aren’t you being too hasty?” Ai ShuQiao slightly furrowed her brows, “I only said Ai Mi can’t leave the entertainment industry right now, but I never said I would never let her leave. My daughter still has up to three years of contracts from now. For example, “The Legend of the magic Cauldron” is being filmed in Dong Shang city’s Film City right now and the expected filming time is up to two years. If I let my daughter quit the entertainment industry now, the breach of contract aside, my entertainment agency’s reputation will be completely gone.”

“Then what are you going to do to show sincerity? Who knows if you will find other excuses after three years.”

“How about this.” Ai ShuQiao slowed down her speech, “Mr. Ren, we can each take a step back. From now on, I will no longer disturb Ye Lin’s life and also try to push off Ai Mi’s contracts. I won’t make it so that she will still be stuck in the industry after three years and make preparations for her to quit the entertainment industry.”

“What do you want in exchange.” Ren HongDe knew that Ai ShuQiao could not make these concessions for nothing.

“5% of the shares.” Ai ShuQiao offered, “You have to pay me 5% of the shares in advance and give me independent operation of the Academy in Dong Shan city, and the princ.i.p.al’s position will naturally be given to me.”

Ren HongDe was slightly surprised, because Dong Shan city was a third-tier city. Although it was the place of origin for the Qing Zi Education Group, the city’s school was not “important” in any way in terms of its current strategic position. He was only acting as the princ.i.p.al here for historical reasons.

Ai ShuQiao insisted to be the princ.i.p.al here, but sitting in the U.S. while remotely controlling one of her people might not necessarily to reap her many benefits.

Especially since she agreed to let go of me by asking for only 5% of the shares and to refuse contracts for Ai Mi that are later than three years from now, which was already much reasonable than when she just asked for 40% of the shares.

“Are you really going to refuse future contracts for your daughter?” Ren HongDe was skeptical, “The reporters in the entertainment industry are very sensitive, if you really do that, they will definitely sniff out signs that your daughter is going to retire, and then make a big deal out of it, which may affect her current popularity as well.”

 “That’s why you have to give me 5% of the shares in advance as compensation.” Ai ShuQiao replied.

“Since it’s just an advance payment to show the sincerity of both parties, why not adjust it to 4%.” Ren HongDe bargained, “If it’s less than 5%, I don’t have to call a board meeting.”

“No, 5% is the bottom line.” Ai ShuQiao stressed, “And eventually you will have to give me 25% of the shares, so when the time comes, you can’t avoid calling the board of directors anyway. You might as well inform them ahead of time.”

“You… are asking me to announce at the board meeting that you, Ai ShuQiao, will officially join the board and have voting rights because your share exceeds 5%?”

Ai ShuQiao looked at the back of her slender hand as if she was checking to see if her nail polish was evenly applied.

“Your group’s board of directors currently has six members, all of whom are men over fifty years old, so wouldn’t the addition of me add a bit of a women’s gentleness.”

“Your gentleness.” Ren HongDe couldn’t help but say sarcastically, “When you were taking care of your husband’s financial company, your compet.i.tor, Jiang YanBin, who is also a Chinese American, went and has not been heard from, so I’m afraid he knows best what your gentleness looks like.”

Ai ShuQiao didn’t really react as if waiting for the other party to continue to speak.

“There’s also the Hollywood agent, Lisa Culler, she died in a private plane crash half a month after accusing you of exploiting artists. She was a veteran pilot with more than 10,000 kilometers of flight records, so I don’t think she would make a rookie mistake of forgetting to fuel up. She also had a wealth of experience in forced landings, so the reason for not being able to land successfully also deserves deep thought. “

Ai ShuQiao wasn’t angry, but instead laughed, “Mr. Ren, you’re not suggesting that I killed them, are you?”

“It’s ironic that the self-proclaimed impartial American law is protecting people like you.”

“The whole world is nothing but irony… the Simpson wife murder case that shocked the world back then, didn’t it end with Simpson’s acquittal? Didn’t he also write a book 12 years later, “If I did it”, detailing his wife’s murder process and selling the book for profit?”

“Madam Ai ShuQiao, I should remind you that Simpson has already been imprisoned for the robbery he committed 13 years later. The U.S. justice department intends to correct their past mistakes and to take this opportunity to re-sentence Simpson, with life imprisonment waiting for him.”

“Hmph, that’s only because Simpson is too stupid… In 2001, billionaire Durst shot his neighbor, dismembered and dumped the body, and finally the courts ruled that self-defense justified and he was acquitted. He was also involved in the disappearance of his wife in 1982, and in 2000 the female writer Berman was killed… Mr. Ren, you know how the world works, please do not believe that the U.S. judiciary system is reliable.”

“So, Madam Ai ShuQiao, you think you’re a lot smarter than Simpson and Durst, and didn’t leave any evidence behind.”

“At least I spent the money that should go to my legal team somewhere else.” She declined to answer.

“I’m warning you.” Ren HongDe suddenly raised his voice, “If you only care about business interests, I can talk to you in business and have room for negotiations, but if you use wrongdoers to harm the Ye Lin and his sister, as well as the others around me… don’t think you can get out in one piece. “

“China’s laws aren’t necessarily better than the United States. However, for foreign capitalists like you, if you openly carry out illegal activities in the mainland, whether from the perspective of law or public opinion, the state would have no reason to show you any mercy. I always give donations to the Golden Shield Foundation for the compa.s.sion of fallen police officers, so the police and my family have a good relationship. If my family was hurt from unknown sources, they will definitely respond first and make sure to expose the mastermind and you won’t have a good time.”

“Oh, so you’re saying that you, Mr. Ren HongDe, have a good reputation among the police of Dong Shan city, so if I go against you, then I would be going against all the police officers in Dong Shan city.”

At this point Ai ShuQiao laughed sarcastically.

“I’m a clean businessman who just wants to make money, so why would I mess with the police? Don’t worry, Mr. Ren, I will never condone my men to harm your family, especially not… your sister, Ms. Ren HongLi.”

Ren HongDe, who had his weakness caught by Ai ShuQiao, could not help but have his heart skip a beat.

“Moreover, your sister, Ms. Ren HongLi, is now getting together with my ex-husband, Ye YuanFeng, and will become Ye Lin’s stepmother in the future. I’m just not sure how many days she can be his stepmother…”

“What do you mean?” Ren HongDe said, “What are you planning to do to my sister?”

Ren HongDe didn’t know that I was poisoned because I ate the b.u.t.terfly, so he thought that Ai ShuQiao was threatening Auntie Ren’s life.

“It’s nothing, I was just thinking that Ye YuanFeng doesn’t pique my interests at all, and I presume that Ms. Ren HongLi will also soon lose interest in Ye YuanFeng.”

“There’s no need for you to worry about it.” Ren HongDe said coldly, “If you can promise that you and your representative agent will not use my school to do anything illegal after serving as the princ.i.p.al, then I can take out 5% of the group’s shares and make a preliminary deal with you.”

“But… if anyone among my family and friends, including Ye Lin and his sister, is harmed by you, the deal will be cancelled immediately, and I will also use all means to retaliate against you.” Ren HongDe’s face had a rarely seen ferocious expression, “Your hands aren’t clean and it’s impossible for you to not leave any evidence behind. Please think about the seriousness of this transaction, think clearly about whether you can adhere to my conditions, then decide if you will agree to the deal.”

Next, without waiting for Ai ShuQiao’s answer, Ren HongDe took the initiative to close the video chat.

This was the result of the negotiations achieved so far. Ren HongDe felt that I, as one of the parties involved, had the right to know, so he specifically called me out of the VIP building and informed me face to face.

“Princ.i.p.al Ren, you…”

Ren HongDe raised a hand out and stopped me, “Just call me Uncle Ren in the future, the princ.i.p.al t.i.tle of mine may have to be given away to Ai ShuQiao at some point.”

“Then, Uncle Ren, you’re actually willing to give away a quarter of the group’s shares for the sake of me and my sister, I’m really touched and I don’t know what to say…”

It was my true thoughts. It doesn’t really matter how my life ends up, if Ren HongDe can really save Ai Mi from Ai ShuQiao, then even if I die, I will work hard for Ren HongDe to repay his kindness in my next life.

“No need to thank me.” Ren HongDe’s face was still cold, “I’m not doing it for you guys, just to get rid of Hong Li’s worries. If I use 25% of the group’s shares for my sister’s dowry, it’s very reasonable.”

Ren HongDe said and sighed, “I did not give a dowry the last time my sister got married because I did not accept them.”

His eyes then shifted to my face, seemingly looking for similarities between my dad’s face and mine.

“I hope this time, I did not make a mistake, if Ye YuanFeng can treat Hong Li sincerely, my hard work would not be in vain.”

I don’t know what came to his mind, but he suddenly pointed to me: “Also, be respectful to Xiao Qin and her mother.”

“If you dare to bully Xiao Qin or make Hong Li angry, I will make you return the 25% of the group’s shares in the future, do you hear me?”
