Chapter 18: You're shameless, I'm rich

  The Peony Pavilion is the most luxurious suite in Qingying Villa, Wu Yuan followed Cao Jianqiang's back, all the way paying attention to Xue Wanyi's expression.

  It's very strange, the expression on this woman's face is as if she had been photographed naked and was about to meet the blackmailer. The question is, Yu Xianrong is a princess, who has such great ability to blackmail her agent?

  These days of communication, Wu Yuan was very clear that Xue Wan'er would rather be broken than compromised, even if she was caught by someone.

  Pushing open the door of the Peony Pavilion, Wu Yuan saw the scenery inside and was suddenly stunned.

  He wasn't unfamiliar with stunning beauties, but the woman in front of him had an elegant and noble quality that was impossible to resist.

  Her smile is warm and proud, just like a phoenix. A typical noble appearance, with infinite sensuality in her dignified and cold demeanor, full curves that are simply tempting, time has not left any marks on her face, only adding to the charm of an adult. Her full body, towering chest, and elegant demeanor are filled with the unique charm of an adult.

  Daughter.

  This was Yu Xian Rong's nickname. At first, she pouted her mouth and then reluctantly came to the girl's side, just like a mischievous little cat seeing a big cat.

  "Wanyu has met with Niangniang for a thousand years, wishing Niangniang a thousand years..."

  "Alright, alright, stop with the formalities."

  The woman smiled and pinched Yu Xianrong's cheek, then shook her head.

  "Little guy, now you know how treacherous the world can be?"

  "Mother..."

  Yu Xianrong's eyes reddened, and tears rolled around inside before finally falling drop by drop.

  These days, she has suffered too many grievances.

  "Empress Dowager Zhangsun has been very firm and polite in her words."

  By Wu Yuan's side, Cao Jianqiang said in a very respectful tone.

  But Wu Yuan also understood at this time that the woman in front of him was who.

  She is the wife of Qin Wang of the Great Tang Empire, Changsun Wuji!

  In another time and space, Changsun Wugou was the mother of the world, the best among all generations of empresses, while in this world, Changsun Wugou is even more outstanding.

  The imperial family of the Tang Empire, in a more meaningful sense, is just a nominal existence, but this does not mean that reporters will not pay attention to every move of the royal family. Apart from Li Jiancheng, his only brother Li Shimin was also one of the focuses of media attention.

  The King of Qin, Li Shimin of the Great Tang Empire, was arrested several times due to *****, causing a big stir and losing face, to the point where many officials and civilians would mention him with disdain.

  But his wife Changsun Wuji was very popular, her demeanor, temperament and intelligence won the support of the people throughout the empire.

  So many people say that the marriage between Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin is 100% a flower inserted into cow dung, such a woman should have had better development prospects outside.

  "Mom, is this time you came here to take down these two scoundrels?"

  She threw herself into Changsun's arms, and Yu Xianrong swept a glance at Wu Yuan and the other.

  "Of course not, now is a society ruled by law, every word and deed of ours must be subject to the constraint of the law. Using knives and guns is a means used when the other party does not follow the rules, I think the two in front should understand my meaning?"

  "I know, of course I know. Empress Dowager Cixi's moral integrity is renowned throughout the land, and she naturally wouldn't bother with trivialities like us small folk. From now on, I will remember the Empress Dowager's decree, every word and action must be bound by the law."

  Cao Jianqiang was like a nodding insect, constantly nodding and bowing to Changsun Wuji. However, his intention was also very clear, which was to use words to trap Empress Changsun and make her follow the normal procedure.

  Otherwise, if the imperial family of the Tang Dynasty used special means, it would be even more troublesome.

  "That's good, now our conversation is legally binding. Wu Yuan and Cao Jianqiang, if you leak the secrets within, that would be against the law. The Empire has a law that all news about underage imperial children must go through the imperial family's approval before release."

  She tapped her jade finger on the table where Wu Yuan's contract was placed.

  "Xian Rong, mother has always been concerned about your news. Not long ago, after learning that Wu Yuan called Cao Jianqiang, I also called the boss of the company where Cao Jianqiang is located and spent 600 million to acquire his company."

  Chang Sun Wu smiled innocently, as if the 600 million yuan spent was just six yuan. As for saying that acquiring a company would bring other benefits, there's no need to mention it.

  "You two are now my employees, and what we're about to discuss is a company secret. I don't want either of you to leak it out. Also, keeping the boss's identity confidential is also your responsibility."

  "What?"

  Yu Xian was stunned for a moment, her face turned red, and then she stood there in a daze.

  Having eavesdropped on Xue Wei'er and the film company boss's negotiation, Yu Xianrong was so angry that she wished to drag the film company boss out and give him a good beating.

  But the other party was adamant and refused to back down, indicating that they would rather go to court than let Wu Yuan go.

  Yu Xianrong couldn't go find his father, let alone Li Shimin who would intervene. In this world, there are some people who would rather have money than their lives!

  I thought there was no way to resolve this matter, but now I realize that Mother had helped me out.

  Six billion, this is the result of a premium of one time, equivalent to Mother spending an extra three billion to get rid of this trouble. The current monthly salary of ordinary workers in the empire is about 2,000 yuan, and owning more than one million assets can live comfortably. Six billion, for ordinary people, is an unimaginable large sum.

  Changsun Wuguo's acquisition of the Huan Yu company's money was her own private funds. In order to assemble such a large amount of assets in a short period of time, she may have paid an even greater price in terms of resources.

  "Mother..."

  Gently pulling at her mother's clothes, Yu Xianrong's eyes turned red.

  "Don't worry, the Wan Yu Film Company is still making a lot of money, with profits of over 60% for each film. Such a high-quality asset, and now with Mr. Wu's joining, isn't that a good thing?"

  Chang Sun's eyes were full of cunning wisdom, but her words only made Wu Yuan and Cao Jianrong smile wryly.

  Huanyu Corporation originated from AV, so the profit of this film is naturally higher. However, Zhang Sun Wuji, where is your integrity? You actually came to acquire a pornographic film company!

  I'm shameless, you have money, having money is really impressive. Wu Yuanshen worked hard to come up with something, only to be directly solved by someone else using money.

  "Wan Er, Wu Yuan is a contracted artist of my company. This is his contract. Wan Er, please take a closer look at Article 45 and Article 63, as well as some additional clauses."

  A copy of the contract was delivered into Xue Wei Er's hands. She carefully looked at the contract, her face becoming stranger and stranger.

  "Mother, this contract, inside unexpectedly..."

  The law of the Tang Empire stipulates that if a contract is fraudulent or seriously damages the interests of the parties involved, it can be declared invalid.

  So when Wu Yuan signed the treaty, he didn't have too much to worry about. Even if there were any tricks in the other party's treaty, at most it would only freeze him out.

  The contract gave Wu Yuan very favorable conditions, except for one thing: the object of Wu Yuan's film shooting was not required to be a woman.

  Suddenly, Wu Yuan remembered a case where a male star wanted to enter the adult film market, but was cheated by the producer when signing the contract, and had to play a role in a gay movie.

  "Empress Longsun, what do you mean?"

  Wu Yuan furrowed his brow and asked.

  "Bang!"

  The palm slapped on the table, Zhangsun Wu's phoenix eyebrows stood upright, fiercely staring at Wu Yuan and said: "You bullied my daughter, then actually wanted to use her as a medium to hype yourself, to shoot a pornographic movie. Do you really think that I spent 600 million just to see you?"

  "Empress Longsun, I'm just doing this for self-protection. You know how dangerous it is inside the prison. If I go in, I may not come out. In such a situation, I have no choice but to take this path."

  "Alright, I have seven or eight scripts here, Director Cao, you pick a few first."

  With a wry smile, Director Cao walked over to Chang Sun Wu's side, picked up a program sheet, and upon seeing the name on it, his face turned even paler.

  "For You in Full Blossom Iku Men's Swimming Team, Male Model Love Story, Sacred Transmission..."

  "Reading out these names one by one, Director Cao Jianqiang said bitterly: 'Princess Changsun, I have no experience directing these films. Why don't you let someone else do it, okay?'"

  "Of course, it's not good. You haven't been very active these two days, have you? Helping Wu Yuan to make connections and calling him brother, how come now you're not talking about loyalty?"

  Chang Sun's eyes sparkled with mischief, and his smile was like that of a sly fox.

  But this cunning smile, like a fox, made Cao Jianqiang's heart feel a chill.

  The woman in front of her controls dozens of companies, with a strong wrist and ruthless actions, making many people retreat.

  "Spare my life, I'm just doing someone a favor and being loyal to them. In the past, Old Master Wan was my boss, so I naturally had to be loyal to him. Now that you're my superior, I'll also be loyal to you."

  "That's good, what about Wu Yuan? Which movie do you want to choose?"

  "Princess Changsun, please don't joke around, I'm just a small ant, not worth playing with like this. As for the matter of Xian Rong, it was my fault, and I sincerely apologize, Princess Changsun. Is there anything I can make up for? I will definitely do my best."

  Wu Yuan said calmly and steadily, without a hint of panic on his face.

  "What's wrong, you think I'm scaring you?"

  "Six billion, Empress Changsun. You are a good mother who can spend a lot of money to protect your daughter, but if the thing you bought back cannot be used better, this deal is a big loss."

  I don't know how much the sales of gay-themed movies are, but the audience for this type of movie is very narrow. If I were to make a pornographic film that could earn 10 million, then a gay-themed movie would at most only be able to earn 1 million, and even then it's just a few films, after which they become tired.

  Zhang Sun Niangniang, I've read the contract, and it stipulates that I will film a movie for you, while you will handle my lawsuit and bear all expenses.

  "Empress Changsun, you've already lost a lot of money buying the film company, and now you're going to spend even more on lawsuits for me. Don't you think that's too much of a loss?"

  "How could I possibly invite you to film a movie and not freeze your assets? It's just 600 million, for the sake of Xian Rong, it's gone, I can totally drag you along until the lawsuit starts."

  Li Chengqian

  Wu Yuan smiled and said out such a name.
