Chapter 968

Waves of desperation crashed over Adam and the others.

Four times the original penalty amount? That could be up to millions!

Where do we get our hands on ten million?

In addition to that, we would be banned by the entire industry after what had just happened! We wouldn’t even have the money to feed ourselves then.

They started to plead pitifully, “Mr. Williams, please let us off this once. We’re willing to work hard for Trust Media in the future!”

Upon consideration, Zeke agreed.

They were senior employees in the company, so they knew how everything worked. If he changed out the whole batch of employees at once, it would take a long time for the new employees to get used to the company, which would negatively affect its development.

Adam and the others heaved a long sigh of relief. They felt as though they had just returned from a trip to hell.

Then, Zeke left with Mia.

The crowd watched them leave with mixed feelings.

Through all of this, Zeke had exuded an aura of mystery and inscrutability.

He must be someone important!

In the car, Mia was still so stunned that she could not speak.

She glanced at the number with the ‘100’ prefix and felt as though she was dreaming.

Zeke could not help but laugh. “Mia, do you people really think of the Great Marshal as someone so sacred and mighty?”

Mia nodded. “Of course. The Great Marshal is a living legend and the faith of all Eurasians. He’s our guardian, so of course, he’s sacred! By the way, I was wondering, why did he choose us, out of all the other top film companies? We’re merely a small, unknown company.”

Zeke replied, “You’re so dumb. Remember that promotional video that we’d made for the military? The Great Marshal gave us half of Eurasia Pictures’ shares then. We’re his long-term collaborator, so that’s why he wants to work with us again.”

Mia facepalmed, “Oh yeah, why did I forget about that?”

The two of them quickly returned to Trust Media.

Lacey was talking to a man with a great mustache at that moment.

Mia immediately explained to Zeke, “That man with the big mustache is a famous director, Jared Hunt.

Is he here to work with us?”

When Lacey noticed them, she hurriedly stood up and made her introductions. “Zeke, Mia, let me introduce you to Mr. Jared Hunt. He’s a famous director. Mr. Hunt wishes to buy over half of our company’s shares at the price of one billion. I think that it’s a good proposal. What do you think?”

Zeke shook his head. “I don’t agree with this. The market price for half of our company’s shares is at least ten billion.”

Jared burst out into laughter; disdain written all over his face. “Mr. Williams, let me be honest with you.

Considering Trust Media’s current situation, I’m already making a loss, by buying over half of its shares for one billion. I hope that you guys will be wise, not being so outrageously greedy. Otherwise, you’ll be left with nothing.”

Zeke answered, “Oh, then, do tell, what’s the current situation of Trust Media right now?”

Jared replied, “Do I really need to elaborate? Your celebrities have terminated their contracts, and your technical staff has all quit. Trust Media is nothing but an empty shell without them. To put it bluntly, you’re worse than a phantom company.”

Zeke refuted, “Nonetheless, I think that our company has strong potential. Who knows? Perhaps a lot of A-list celebrities and directors will be fighting to work with us very soon.”

Pfft!

Jared burst out laughing again.

Lacey’s face reddened as she warned, “Zeke, our company’s bad situation is known to all. Please don’t cover it up. I guess I’ll decide now. I agree with your proposal, Mr. Hunt...”

Mia hurriedly interjected, “Ms. Hinton, you mustn’t agree! We’ll be making a huge loss if you do.”

Lacey was perplexed.

Why is Mia siding with Zeke now?

Just as she was in the midst of confusion, a large group of people suddenly barged in.
