Chapter 356 - 356: We Will Terminate Our Cooperation With Yan Ruo

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Bo Qin overheard the conversation between the two servants and his mind became active.

He didn’t know that Yan Ruo had a grudge against Jiang Yining.

Therefore, he didn’t think of anything else.

He came to talk to Jiang Yining about the film copyright.

Now that he knew, he had to make other plans.

Negotiating the copyrights for the comic “But My Boss Wants to Marry Me” with money alone won’t sway Jiang Yining. If they wanted to make her interested, they would need to terminate the contract with Yan Ruo.

However, Bo Qin has reservations about this.

Firstly, although Yan Ruo’s popularity was declining, it would only affect her temporarily. On the whole, Yan Ruo was still a powerful and well-known comic artist. After this storm settles, allowing her to redeem herself in the public eye will make people forget her wrongdoings. At that time, developing Yan Ruo’s manga IP would be a safe and profitable move.

Secondly, Jiang Yining was a member of the Lu family. She would definitely prioritize collaboration with the film and television companies under the Lu Corporation. If they terminated the contract with Yan Ruo but failed to negotiate with Jiang Yining, it would be a futile effort.

Thirdly, Yan Ruo’s father had a deep connection with his father. If they go as far as terminating the contract, the relationship between the two families would be jeopardized.

Therefore, Bo Qin was in a dilemma.

He followed the housekeeper back to the living room.

Bo Qin sat down and said with an apologetic smile, “I’m sorry for making you wait.”

“It’s just for a while. It won’t be a problem.”

Jiang Yining said indifferently.

Fu Yiren moved closer to Bo Qin’s ear and said a few words to him.

Bo Qin looked up and met Jiang Yining’s eyes. He said,” Miss Jiang, you can now tell us your conditions. As long as our company can do it, we will try our best to meet your requirements.”

Jiang Yining smiled and said, “Actually, my requirements are not many. Double the film and television copyright fees, and I get 30% of the profit.”

Fu Yiren and Bo Qin had already mentally prepared themselves.

However, when they heard Jiang Yining’s words, they were still shocked!

Wasn’t this asking for too much?

If they really gave her such conditions, they wouldn’t make much profit!

“Don’t worry, I won’t force a deal. You can go back and discuss with the company’s directors before giving me an answer.”

Jiang Yining said very reasonably.

Fu Yiren was speechless.

She thought, “Negotiate? How? If they really agreed to her request, what was the difference between that and outright robbery?”

From her point of view, Jiang Yining had no intention of cooperating with them at all, so she deliberately said conditions that they would never agree to!

It was really a wasted trip! What a waste of time!

Bo Qin and Fu Yiren, on the other hand, had different thoughts. After a moment of silence, he asked, “Miss Jiang, if we can make concessions in other aspects, would there be room for negotiation in the copyright fees and profit sharing?”

“For example?”

Jiang Yining asked.

Bo Qin boldly said, “Our company can terminate the contract with Yan Ruo and exclusively promote the film adaptation of your comic this year.”

Fu Yiren, who was sitting next to him, was dumbfounded when she heard that.

Yonghui Film and Television Company had put in a lot of effort to get Yan Ruo. No matter how popular Jiang Yining was, they couldn’t possibly terminate the contract with Yan Ruo just to cooperate with her!

Besides, if they terminated the contract with Yan Ruo, they would have to pay a total of more than 120 million!

They would suffer heavy losses!

Fu Yiren smiled awkwardly and said, “Miss Jiang, don’t listen to our Mr. Bo’s nonsense. Our cooperation with you has nothing to do with Miss Yan…”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She was only halfway through her sentence.

Jiang Yining interrupted, “Mr. Bo, if your company can indeed do what you said, I might consider lowering the copyright fees. However, are you sure that your words represent the decision of your company’s board of directors?”

Bo Qin said, “Miss Jiang, I can’t fully represent our company, but I’m willing to try. I’ll discuss it with my father and the board of directors. I’ll give you an answer as soon as possible. Before that, please refrain from discussing cooperation with other companies.”

“No problem,” Jiang Yining said straightforwardly.

Fu Yiren was speechless.

She muttered to herself, “Is there something I don’t know? Why does it feel like Jiang Yining has a grudge against Yan Ruo?”

Bo Qin stood up and bowed slightly as he said, “Sorry to disturb you.”

With that, he dragged the still-dazed Fu Yiren away.

Only Jiang Yining and the housekeeper were left in the living room.

The housekeeper said, “Young Mistress, you’re really wise.”

She had deliberately poured tea for Bo Qin and Fu Yiren and made them wait for so long.

It was so that one of them could go to the restroom.

Then…

Two maids were specifically arranged to say certain things to Bo Qin.

It was a strategy to use his words to influence the board of directors at Yonghui Film and Television Company.

Jiang Yining smiled calmly and said, “Most people can’t resist the allure of money. Just wait and see. They will come to me again to discuss cooperation.”

Bo Qin was already tempted. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have mentioned Yan Ruo.

Once there’s a weak link, would the people at Yonghui Film and Television Company hesitate to terminate the contract with Yan Ruo?

Jiang Yining’s eyes flashed with determination.

On the way back, Bo Qin shared the information he had overheard with Fu Yiren.

Fu Yiren frowned. “This is going to be difficult. I don’t think Old Master will agree to it.”

Yan Han and Mr. Bo had been friends for more than ten years.

The last time the Old Master celebrated his birthday, Yan Han had specially drawn a painting for him as a gift.

The painting was still hanging on the wall of the Old Master’s study.

Terminating the contract with Yan Ruo would be like slapping the Old Master in the face.

Bo Qin focused on driving and said, “If Old Master doesn’t agree, as long as the board of directors agrees, it’s enough.”

“Aren’t you afraid that the Old Master will fall ill from anger?” Fu Yiren asked.

“Of course I’m afraid. But we are a company, not a charity. We can’t always rely on personal relationships and ignore profits. Yonghui used to be the first in the film and television industry. Look at how other companies, inferior to us, have thrived over the years while Yonghui is declining. Yonghui is the effort of several generations of my family. I can’t just watch it fall apart.”

“Besides, it’s not that I don’t want to give Yan Ruo a chance. Nationwide comic exhibitions, joint promotions with the largest domestic comic website, sky-high film and TV adaptation fees… I’ve arranged everything perfectly. Did 1 let her down in the slightest?”

“But what did she do? Ever since she returned to the country, she had been doing foolish things to tarnish her own reputation. If she doesn’t cherish her feathers, then don’t blame me for being heartless.” Bo Qin said, “I’ll go back and discuss it with the board. After confirming their intentions, I’ll seize the time to discuss the cooperation with Jiang Yining.”

Once he signed a contract with Jiang Yining, he would kick Yan Ruo out without hesitation.

Bo Qin had made up his mind.

No one could change that.

Fu Yiren felt that his actions were a little harsh, but she had to admit that he was right.

The current Yonghui Group indeed needed such a decisive leader.

Not someone like the Old Master…

After a moment of silence, Fu Yiren said, “I’ll help you gather the board of directors tomorrow morning.”

“Okay, thank you for standing on my side.”

Bo Qin said calmly.

Fu Yiren turned her head and looked at his profile. She smiled and said, “I’m afraid that after this, I’ll be chased out of the group by the Old Master.”

She had conspired with Bo Qin to do such a thing behind the Old Master’s back.

The Old Master would definitely be angry.

Bo Qin was his biological son. He wouldn’t do anything to him.

However, as an outsider, the Old Master wouldn’t show mercy.

When Bo Qin heard her words, he said firmly, “Don’t worry. With me around, I won’t let you be chased away.”.

Fu Yiren nodded, her eyes sparkling..
