[2] Transmigration: Raising the Child of the Male Lead Boss

But the director had been very confident in the new version. He even went as far as to show him several other movies and dramas that had become popular in the same way. He had also assured Chen Jiao that the characters would be more vivid and attractive after the edit.

Chen Jiao slammed his fist on the seat.

His main focus had always been on acting. He didn’t know anything about the data in the film industry. He had believed everything the director had said.

Furthermore, Chen Jiao had thought Shen Yichong was just making up excuses to hide the fact that he was running out of money… He had thought that was why Shen Yichong was trying to find problems with the script.

But now… He thought back to what Shen Yichong had said on the phone. He could care less about who snatched away his investment plan.

Chen Jiao’s heart fluttered frantically.

Shen Yichong had known for a long time that he and Wansheng had invested in ‘Allure’. He had also known that this seemingly successful project would fall apart. That was why he didn’t care. He knew that no matter who the investor was, they would face great losses.

He didn’t even care when ‘Emergency Moment’ was snatched away…

Chen Jiao’s eyes stung. “Xu Hong, you bastard! Are you certain Shen Yichong wants to invest in ‘Emergency Moment’? Are you trying to land me in trouble? Did he find out that you double-crossed him? Is that why he gave you fake information?”

He was so full of regret.

But it was too late now. The investment agreement had already been signed. If he did not pay the fund, he would have to pay the penalty for breaching the contract.

And what would the Wansheng Group think of him?

They had followed him blindly and invested in ‘Allure’. And it was going to fall apart. They had trusted him enough to also invest in ‘Emergency Moment’. If that also ended in failure…

“No, Brother Jiao! I honestly heard Mr. Shen saying that he wanted us to contact the producer for the investment the next day!” Xu Hong said defensively. “This TV series will make money for sure! He even signed the investment application that we submitted!”

Chen Jiao took a deep breath. “If we make a loss on this TV series… Xu Hong, Wansheng will teach you a lesson.”

Xu Hong promised again that the show would make money, but he sounded less sure of himself now.

Chen Jiao felt a terrible headache coming on.

The head of the film investment department of Wangsheng group invited him to have dinner that evening. He was the person who had communicated with them for these two investments.

During this meal, it was likely that he would be questioned, just like how he questioned Xu Hong. They would want to confirm the source and accuracy of the investment information.

Chen Jiao could do nothing but grit his teeth and agree. He soullessly looked at the growing flood of negative reviews on the Internet, thinking about what to say to Wansheng that night.

Later that evening when he went to the French restaurant, he ran into the people he wanted to see least in the world; Shen Yichong and Yu Yaoyao.

Shen Yichong walked into the restaurant, tenderly holding his wife around the waist. Yu Yaoyao was smiling up at him, and he was looking down at her so lovingly.

The two of them looked perfect together.

Chen Jiao gritted his teeth when he realized they were going to pass by his table without noticing him.
