Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1153: Devil, Very Moist Little White Rabbit
When he looked through it for the second time, Nan Youqiong's eyes once again stopped on Li Enzhu's photo.
"Why is she up there?"
"President Nan doesn't know?" Shin Sung-hyun asked in surprise, "Lee Eun-joo has left NM Entertainment and signed with NAMU Entertainment."
"I know, but I don't quite understand." Nan Youqiong waved his hand, "President Shen, if I want to date the people above, what conditions do I need to pay?"
"Well-known artists need to negotiate with the agency first. If there is no competition and the terms can be agreed upon, the artist can serve those in need. For ordinary artists, it is relatively simple, as long as the money can be negotiated."
"President Shin, what conditions are you referring to?" Nan Youqiong poured a glass of wine and handed it to Shin Sung-hyun.
Shin Sung-hyun bowed and took the cup, "Resources to support the entertainment industry, such as advertising, variety shows, opportunities to appear in movies and TV series, etc."
"That's all?" Nan Youqiong said self-deprecatingly, "It looks like NM Entertainment's resources aren't good enough."
"Chairman Nam, forgive me for being frank, but NM Entertainment is an outlier among entertainment companies. The movies, TV series, and commercials that its artists have participated in are all related to the New Miracle Group. They rarely take on outside work and only occasionally participate in variety shows. And..." Shin Sung-hyun was hesitant to speak.
"President Shen, please speak directly if you have anything to say."
"NM Entertainment is too generous to its artists, which is not a good thing," Shin Sung-hyun said with a hint of meaning.
"Maybe. President Shin, please help me contact NAMU Entertainment. I want to buy out Lee Eun-joo's contract."
"Buyout?"
Shin Sung-hyun was a little embarrassed because that's not how business is done.
"Yes, buyout." Nan Youqiong saw Shin Sung-hyun's expression, "President Shin, don't be embarrassed. I will give you what you deserve, as well as NAMU Entertainment's."
Nan Youqiong had said so, Shen Shengxian could only bow and say: "Okay, I will inform Chairman Nan as soon as possible."
After saying that, Shin Sung-hyun toasted Nam You-chiong and left.
Nan Youqiong shook his wine glass and walked to the one-way glass, looking at the dance floor on the second floor thoughtfully.
Shin Sung-hyun was right. NM Entertainment was indeed too generous to its artists. Over time, the artists became accustomed to it and thought that the treatment they enjoyed was their due. It is time to put a chicken that has suffered in front of them to help them wake up and understand the difference between a gift and what is their due.
Shin Sung-hyun acted very quickly. At noon the next day, he contacted Kim Jong-do, the chairman and president of NAMU Entertainment, and used threats and inducements to force the other party to give up the contract.
Jin Zhongdao didn't even struggle and went straight into the negotiation stage.
What's the point of struggling? He knew who was standing behind Shin Sung-hyun. It was not surprising that he could order Shin Sung-hyun around. After all, that was his business. But he could make Shin Sung-hyun break the unspoken rules and not give him a chance to make a long-term profit. He knew very well that the real boss must not be provoked.
After weighing the pros and cons, Admiralty offered a price of 1 billion.
Shin Sung-hyun did not bargain, as it was not his obligation. He simply told the price to Nam Youqiong and added another 200 million, as this was the compensation he deserved.
Nan Youqiong directly agreed to the offer and proposed to pay an additional 50 million to let Jin Zhongdao help act out the show.
2pm, NAMU entertainment.
Lee Eun-joo was called into the president's office, and Kim Jong-do treated her politely before using force.
His words were gentle and straightforward. He asked Lee Eun-joo to accompany someone. As long as she agreed, the other party would support her and let her choose variety shows, TV dramas, and movies. If she did not agree, she would have to bear the losses suffered by the company and she would be hidden.
"President, are you planning to sell me out like this?" After hearing Kim Jong-do's words, Lee Eun-joo's tears of grievance immediately fell.
"Eun-joo, it's not what you think. In our industry, which famous female artist doesn't have a sponsor behind her? This matter will only benefit you, and the president who likes you is handsome and young."
All previous transactions were conveyed through Shin Sung-hyun, and Kim Jong-do had no idea who the "financial backer" was. He was now simply deceiving Lee Eun-joo.
Kim Jong-do did not give Lee Eun-joo a chance to beg or throw a tantrum. After giving her the "first gift", he directly gave her a time and place, and asked her to dress up and go there as soon as possible.
Finally, he gave Li Enzhu a file bag and asked her to take it to the financial sponsor.
Lee Eun-joo left her office on Admiralty Road and walked all the way to her dressing room. She sat down next to the makeup mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, and slapped herself twice.
She hated herself very much for the stupid decision she made. She clearly recalled the envy and jealousy that the actresses who co-starred with her in the crew had shown her. At this moment, she understood. She knew what the other party was envious of, but it was too late.
Lying on the dressing table, Li Enzhu cried bitterly, feeling sorry for herself...
Time seemed to have passed for a long century. Lee Eun-joo had cried enough and was tired. She looked up at the makeup mirror, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, patted her little face, and without washing it, she took the makeup bag and began to touch up her makeup.
At 5:05, she arrived at the rooftop of a house in Itaewon. She looked at the rooftop in the other corner, and then looked around at the bodyguards standing all over the rooftop. She hesitated and dared not go forward.
Looking up at the falling snow in the sky, Li Enzhu mourned for her own fate.
"Lee Eun-joo?"
Before she knew it, Mary had come to Li Enzhu's side.
"Yes." Li Enzhu replied subconsciously.
"You're seven and a half minutes late."
Mary spoke coldly as she stepped forward and slapped Lee Eun-joo in the face with her right hand. She then moved down and grabbed Lee Eun-joo's neck. She reached down to her waist with her left hand and a pair of clothing scissors fell into her hand.
Click, click, the scissors flew up and down. In less than a minute, Li Enzhu, who was still in a daze, was left with only the closest layer of protection on her body. The other clothes for keeping warm were cut off by Mary.
Putting away the scissors, Mary kicked the rags on the ground far away. She turned her left wrist and looked at her watch. "I'm so sorry, my wrist is not fast enough. Stand here and count 525 in your mind. When you're done, go in there."
Mary pointed to the door of the attic room, then walked to the nearby stove, turned up her collar, and put her hands to the fire to warm them.
The temperature in Seoul is good today. It is already dark, but the temperature is still as high as minus two degrees Celsius. A woolen sweater and a coat on the outside can completely protect you from the snowy weather.
Mary was wearing a custom-made warm women's suit, and her hands were warmed by fire, so she was not cold at all; after Li Enzhu woke up from her dazed state, she clasped her hands together, squatted on the ground and huddled up in a ball. The clothes on her body weighed less than five taels, and she was cold, and her heart was also cold.
She wanted to run, but when she turned around and looked back, she saw that the gate of hell she had just passed through had been locked.
She was desperate and had an urge to die.
Looking around the rooftop and recalling the height she had just seen from downstairs, she felt a little scared.
Unable to run, dare not die, the only way is to resist the cold, and fight back. She just kept repeating to herself... Hiss, her face hurts, damn evil woman, whew, whew, it's so cold, so cold.
Another century passed as she silently counted 525. Li Enzhu was already too cold to bear it any longer. She stood up, stamped her feet, and when her legs were less stiff, she immediately ran to the door of the attic room, not forgetting to glance at Mary's reaction as she ran.
Mary naturally ignored her. Enduring the cold was just a formality and Li Enzhu didn't need to stay there for long enough.
Bang! The door was pushed open. Lee Eun-joo, who thought she would see a group of demons dancing wildly, only saw the back of a head and a TV further away. On the screen, Yoon Ji-hee was running happily in the rain with an umbrella in her hand.
"If Love Has Destiny", does the devil still watch such a sweet movie?
"Close the door and kneel over there."
Li Enzhu heard the devil's voice and saw where the devil's claws were pointing.
"Washboard? Make me kneel on the washboard?"
Li Enzhu was confused again. She couldn't figure out the devil's routine. She thought that the devil would pounce on her immediately, and she also thought that there was more than one devil, but she never thought that she would kneel on the washboard.
"Hurry up, I don't think you want me to ask someone to drag you over."
Hesitating and dithering, just when Li Enzhu didn't know what to do, the evil woman pushed the door open and walked into the room, holding her bag and the document bag that another demon asked her to bring.
Li Enzhu saw the evil woman throw her bag aside, hand the briefcase to the devil, then glare at her and glance at her feet.
"Aim, aim again, I...ah, I may not be able to hit you."
"Mary, help her."
After hearing Nan Youqiong's order, Mary approached Li Enzhu again, clamped the back of Li Enzhu's neck, and pushed hard. Li Enzhu staggered to the washboard.
Mary raised her foot and kicked Lee Eun-joo's calf. Lee Eun-joo's knees immediately softened and she fell uncontrollably on the washboard.
“It hurts! It hurts so much!”
Li Enzhu's tears came out again, this time it was not self-pity, but pure pain.
Nan Youqiong ignored her and continued to concentrate on watching his movie. The movie was very sweet and he wanted to find what he was missing from it.
There is something missing in Nan Yi's genes: love. In his two lifetimes, he has never met a woman who could make him lose his mind, nor is there a woman whom he feels he cannot lose emotionally.
Nan Youqiong is slightly better than him. He will feel moved at certain moments, but his mind and heart have many independent compartments. Love and career live in their own compartments and will never interact with each other.
The small compartment of career is at the bottom and is regarded as the foundation. All its good things depend on the stability of the foundation. In order to consolidate the foundation, the bricks of other small compartments can be removed first, and then rebuilt when the foundation is solid.
"On the way to see you, the wind is sweet. Damn it, I can understand the heroine's emotions, why can't I put myself in her shoes?" After watching the sweetest part of the film, Nan Youqiong couldn't help but mutter, "Will there be any gain if I sleep with the heroine?"
Lee Eun-joo, who was kneeling on the side, had felt her body become warm and the stiffness had disappeared. What had been knocking on her heart just now was the coldness, and her knees didn't feel anything, but now, they felt so sore and painful.
At the same time, the worry and fear in my heart became even greater. At first, I only expected brutality, but now it seems that there will be perversion.
A mixture of remorse, horror, lingering resentment, all kinds of emotions are intertwined.
"I still feel a little hungry." Li Enzhu stroked her belly and noticed a few packs of ramen on the shelf opposite her. "Ramen, Nanbaba ramen, I want to eat it."
As if he had heard Li Enzhu's thoughts, Nan Youqiong stood up from his seat, walked straight to the shelf, took two packs of instant noodles and went to the kitchen.
Then, a few more people came into the room and went in and out of the kitchen. The grill, pork belly, pork intestines, Korean beef, army pot, and seven or eight kinds of kimchi were spread out on the coffee table one by one. The charcoal fire on the grill was lit, and the meat was sizzling.
Just as Li Enzhu was sniffing hard, greedily absorbing the fragrance, the evil woman came to her, threw down a pile of clothes, and coldly told her to put them on.
Lee Eun-joo was amazed for a moment because her clothes were Chanel, and after a while, she was overjoyed because she could stand up.
She temporarily forgot about shame. There were so , but she forgot to be shy and put on her clothes quickly. She imagined that the evil woman didn't want her to continue kneeling, so she just stood in the corner with her eyes buried in the pile of flesh.
"Mary."
"Why did the devil call the evil woman into the kitchen? Whatever it is, it would be best if the gas pipe exploded... No, if it really exploded, I wouldn't be able to escape... They both fell to the ground at the same time, and it would be best if they ran into a pot of hot oil and poured all over their heads."
Li Enzhu's inner thoughts were very active, but the power of her curse was a little weak. After a while, Nan Youqiong and Mary came out of the kitchen safely, each holding a pot in their hands.
"The devil has ramen in his hand, the evil woman...beef stewed with potatoes, all delicious."
Nan Youqiong put the ramen pot on the coffee table and waved to Li Enzhu, "Come here."
Upon hearing this, Li Enzhu timidly stood beside Nan Youqiong, gripping the ground with her toes, ready to escape at any time.
Nan Youqiong frowned, reached out and grabbed Li Enzhu's wrist and pulled it. Li Enzhu was immediately pulled into his arms, and after adjusting herself left and right a few times, she sat steadily on his thighs with her head resting on his shoulder.
Grabbing the file bag at the side, Nan Youqiong pulled out the contract inside and showed it to Li Enzhu, "I spent 1.25 billion to buy out your contract."
Li Enzhu took the contract and quickly flipped through the pages. When she saw her signature and fingerprint on the last page, she was sure that it was really her contract. Her eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she said tremblingly, "You... me, what do you want?"
Nan Youqiong took out his phone and operated it for a few times, then showed the screen to Li Enzhu, "Look carefully, today's exchange rate is 929.257, 1.25 billion is equivalent to 1.345 million US dollars, this is not a small amount of money, you have to pay me back.
According to the Interest Limitation Act, the maximum interest rate for private lending is 24%. I can calculate a lower rate for you, 23.95%. By this time next year, you will only need to pay me back $1,667,127."
As he spoke, Nan Youqiong pushed Li Enzhu away from his lap and pointed to the ramen pot on the coffee table, "Eat noodles, and then we'll sign the loan contract."
Li Enzhu stood there blankly, in a trance for a while, then looked at the contract in her hand, "I still have a little money, I can pay you back part of it first."
Nan Youqiong laughed, "It's your freedom to pay back the money in advance, but you have to think clearly. After tonight, you will be a free artist, and every penny you earn will belong to you. However, without the entertainment company behind you, how can you get notices, film contracts, and advertisements?"
Without waiting for Li Enzhu to answer, Nan Youqiong continued: "Ah, I forgot that you really like the profession of an actor. In order to participate in better film and television works, you can betray your old boss. Well, your old boss is very good. He put you in the Garden of Eden and kept all the darkness out, making you naive and thinking that you would not become a plaything.
It's ok, you can treat tonight as practice, and every day of the next 281 days may be worse than tonight, and maybe not just the 281 days. I would like to recommend Adler Clinic Gynecology to you. It has good privacy, spring rolls, cakes, candles, wine bottles, golf balls, etc. It has rich experience in treating various difficult diseases and is trustworthy. "
Upon hearing this, Li Enzhu felt as if she had fallen into an abyss.
Today is not a nightmare in her life, but the beginning of a nightmare life.
The reason why she left NM Entertainment was that she wanted to participate in some film and television dramas with greater performance space. There are several seniors in NM Entertainment who have better acting skills than her. The few "good resources" obtained by the company will be allocated to them first. She can only repeatedly appear in the commercials arranged by the company.
Yes, advertising drama, this is the industry's evaluation of the film and television dramas produced by NM Entertainment. Although the advertisements are arranged very cleverly, people in the industry can still easily distinguish them.
She doesn't want this, she wants to be a real actor.
From the perspective of NM Entertainment, it is actually quite helpless. The ratings and number of viewers of the company's own advertising dramas are not bad, which has a certain effect in increasing the popularity of the actors. But it is also undeniable that in order to implant advertisements, NM Entertainment will not touch scripts that can better show the performance tension of the actors.
Because the target audience is women, and young women at that, stories with handsome men and cool women, overbearing CEOs, and Cinderella as the core are what they like to watch the most.
In order to allow the actresses to maintain their condition and titles of strength, NM Entertainment strives to obtain some good roles from outside every year. After all, the mainstream dramas are still dominated by male protagonists, and there are not many good female roles. They have to compete with other entertainment companies, so there are not many that can fall into the hands of NM Entertainment. Moreover, the crew usually will not choose Lee Eun-joo, who is neither talented nor popular.
Putting aside the fact that Lee Eun-joo was too naive, it was indeed the right choice for her to run away.
After Nam Youqiong finished speaking, he ignored Lee Eun-joo, ate barbecue and beef stew with potatoes, and joined the bodyguards' gossip.
Lee Eun-joo felt sorry for herself for a long time. The idea of living a gluttonous life and living a miserable life prevailed. She knelt beside the coffee table, brought the ramen pot closer to herself, and joined the group sharing barbecue and kimchi. She kept her ears perked up, eavesdropping on the gossip, but she basically couldn't understand anything.
If you don't understand, just look. Her eyes would pass over Nan Youqiong from time to time, looking at his face, looking at his figure, estimating his height. After concluding that the devil was good-looking, she became resentful again. She had to admit that the devil was a handsome oppa. If it were a different occasion or a different way, it wouldn't take too long before she would voluntarily devote herself to him.
Perhaps there is a Stockholm syndrome virus lurking in Lee Eun-joo's body. At this moment, the virus and the love brain break out together. She actually ignores the fact that she is a little white rabbit waiting to be sacrificed, and discovers the devil's advantages with an appreciative eye.
"Korean, English, this one is Chinese... Now it seems to be French... Oh my god, this is awesome, the devil is so powerful, he knows so many languages."
The rich inner drama continued until the end of dinner, and the evil woman came online again. She was dragged into the bathroom and asked to remove her makeup and wash up. The damn evil woman treated her like a piece of pork belly, checking her from head to toe, not even sparing her private parts.
Then she was asked to put on a red suspender dress, pushed to the side of the devil, grabbed, and forced to sit on the devil's lap.
The demon's hands covered her thighs, stroking them up and down.
"itch."
Li Enzhu struggled slightly, but could not break free from Nan Youqiong's restraints, and her position fell further.
Endless lingering!
It was so strange that she didn't feel humiliated, only shy. The reason why she was shy was that the evil woman had not left, but stood three meters away, staring at her with emotionless eyes.
She understood that he was a personal bodyguard, but she didn't understand why he needed to be so close at this moment.
Is he worried that she might strangle the devil to death?
Soon, she lost the ability to think wildly and could only yell.
On Nan Yi's side, the time difference is one hour later than Nan Youqiong. At this moment, he is still at Lai Biao's house, being received by his brother's wife Wenwan. At the same time, there are two other guests, Lin Sining, who he hasn't seen for a few years but always sends gifts during the holidays, and her husband Wang Jiansen.
"I, I went to Guangzhou at that time, I was confused and didn't know the rules there. At the beginning, I was in a mess and couldn't get anything done. Later, I asked people who knew about it and found out that there was a rule about tea money."
Wang Jiansen is a very talkative person. After a few drinks, he started telling his entrepreneurial history. He speaks in a very friendly way, but his habit of repeating words is a bit uncomfortable.
Listening to Wang Jiansen's slightly boastful story of making a fortune, Nan Yi became more intoxicated. Whenever he saw Wang Jiansen's mouth was dry, he would toast with him to moisten his throat so that he could continue talking.
Lin Sining turned a blind eye to her husband's bragging about herself. She had always been responsible for maintaining the relationship with Wen Wan, and her husband usually did not show up. The reason he followed her this time was because he had his eyes on Yaqing Company.
Back then, Nan Yi and Yang Kaiyan miscalculated. After Yang Kaiyan left Yaqing Company to open up a new world without waiting for others to squeeze him out, the situation of Yaqing Company did not get worse . Although it did not develop as well as when Yang Kaiyan was in power, it never stopped its pace of expansion. It's just that the cost of doing projects is getting higher and higher, and the profit margin is not as good as before.
This is not surprising. To Yang Kaiyan's successor, Yaqing Company is not his own business. If he does a good job, he will only get a little more bonus. Raising costs and operating expenses will not benefit him much. Naturally, the profit margin will not be as good as before.
The situation was still within the tolerance range of Nan Yi and Yang Kaiyan, so it was naturally difficult for them to retaliate. As a result, they had been living in peace, checking the accounts every year as Taiping shareholders and waiting for dividends at the end of the year.
Nan Yi didn't interfere much in Yang Kaiyan's new business. He just appointed an accountant to keep an eye on the money and didn't ask about other aspects.
In general, the development of Yaqing Company is acceptable, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Back then, Lin Sining came forward to ask Wen Wan for a loan, and in the end it was Nan Yi who lent her 15 million. With the support of this money, Wang Jiansen's career developed rapidly. Now his Xiaomubiao Group's main commercial real estate project, Xiaomubiao Plaza, has already caught up with Asia Plaza, and I believe it will surpass it in no time.
It was precisely because Xiaomubiao Plaza and Asia Plaza had similar development models that Wang Jiansen came up with the idea of merging with Asia Qing Company.
There were a lot of twists and turns underneath, but the atmosphere at the dinner table was quite harmonious. The two women were whispering, and the two men were one bragging and the other listening.
But while Nan Yi was listening, his sharp mind was not idle either, as he had already been trying to figure out the purpose of Wang Jiansen's action.
After the money borrowing incident that year, Lin Sining began to integrate into the small circle of Nan Yi, Lai Biao, Wen Wan, Chen Feng, and Xu Li. Extending out to them are Chen Dan, Nie Kai, Luo Huan, Li Jin, Zhou Lilin, and Zhou Lilin's husband Liu Zhi. This group of people are together, with no sect or faction, but they move around frequently and take care of each other.
Each person has his own network of contacts, which are intertwined and connected with each other. This is a considerable force. While Nan Yi is giving, he is also benefiting a series of people including the Nan family, himself, Liu Zhen, Nan Wuwei, Fan Hongdou, etc.
People in this network don't know each other inside out, but at least they have a basic understanding of each other. Lin Sining has enough understanding of Nan Yi's real situation. As Nan Yi's partner, Wang Jiansen cannot be unaware of Nan Yi's strength. In this case, he still wants to brag about his own history of making a fortune. It certainly can't be because he is stupid, he can only do it on purpose.
Nan Yi ruled out the possibility of borrowing money again early on. Wang Jiansen and his wife have no shortage of financing channels now. They can easily get a loan from the bank by paying some interest. How could they possibly borrow money to owe favors to others?
If it wasn't for borrowing money, it would be easy for Nan Yi to include Yaqing Company as one of Wang Jiansen's intentions.
