Chapter 29 As The Top Actress Again!
Ran Xueyi snorted, "Too much? I think not! If I really wanted to calculate it by how much all of that was priced this year, I should get at least double that amount! Yet, I am being too generous with you since I stayed for more than a decade at Star Studios."
The grandeur that Star Studios have right now was completely incomparable to how it was in the past. As it was a small entertainment agency being brought up by a rich second generation son who only wanted to raise his mistresses in the entertainment industry, everyone would think that it would never bloom and would soon go bankrupt.
However, as soon as Ran Xueyi was signed to their agency, the company continued to grow and increase in value. This continued until she retired and even now. All that took credit from her work and name was all the staff, shareholders, chairman, and artists of Star Studios.
If she doesn't take anything from them, wouldn't that mean she's losing out on some piece of meat again?
Naturally, Ran Xueyi wouldn't allow anyone to continue using her or take things from her again!
Chairman Yi looked as if he had drunk a bitter pill as he stared at her then at the number written on the paper. He wanted to get angry and use the victim card on her or on anyone, but unfortunately, Ran Xueyi held the evidence right up to his nose which can't deny nor refute.
Thus, Chairman Yi was battling against himself on this matter. To give up or not to give up?
Seeing how he was hesitating, Ran Xueyi took out her phone and dialed some numbers.
"What are you doing?" Chairman Yi asked.
Ran Xueyi answered, "My lawyer."
The lawyers of the Ran family were without a doubt one of the top lawyers in the city. Some of them were even her close friends.
No, he must stop her!
"Wait!" Chairman Yi quickly exclaimed.
Ran Xueyi lazily glanced at him.
"Wait... Twenty million. I'll give it to you."
She smiled at him, "That's good. You can write it on the cheque, then."
Chairman Yi was almost having a heart attack. "Can't you wait until tomorrow? After I talk to the bank?" When he saw her frown, he quickly added, "You know it isn't easy to just sign a huge amount of money. The bank won't release it!"
Ran Xueyi hummed in response. "That's right... Even with the cheque, they might not give me all of it since it is indeed a huge amount of money."
Chairman Yi was relieved. But he hadn't yet released a sigh of relief when she continued.
"Then, why not give me the money inside your safe in the office? If it's not enough, we can call your wife or mistress to take out the things from your safe in both your villa and mansion. Now, It should be enough, right?" Ran Xueyi told him.
'Thud!'
That was the sound of his heart falling into his stomach. How did she know? How did she know that he had a safe in his office? Moreover, how did she know that he had one in his mistress' villa and wife's mansion?
Chairman Yi stared at her in fear. No one knows about the existence of these safes aside from himself. Even his mistress and wife didn't know about it since he didn't like the fact that someone else other than him would know where he kept his money.
Just like a grumpy squirrel, he hid his wealth away from everyone else.
And Yet, Ran Xueyi actually knew all of it.
"How... how did you..."
"How did I know?" Ran Xueyi smiled. "Easy! That time 6 years ago when you got so drunk and I had to send you off to your wife's home, I only have to ask you a few questions. At that time, you were quite eloquent even when drunk."
Chairman Yi frowned and after half a minute, he finally recalled what she was talking about!
Six years ago, there was an event. It was the Star Studios anniversary and everyone partied so much. Ran Xueyi was the veteran actress and star of the agency that time so she was seated amongst the higher ups of the company.
However, Chairman Yi was too drunk at that time and his wife was afraid that he would go to his mistress again and so, she asked Ran Xueyi a favor to send him home. And during their drive, Ran Xueyi avoided his advances while also asking him questions.
He spilled every secret he kept in his heart towards the lovely rising star not knowing that she could have been recording it or use it against him in the future.
And as expected, Ran Xueyi was using his secrets on him to turn the table!
Chairman Yi turned red as a rush of anger surged through inside him. However, he couldn't vent it towards Ran Xueyi since she was not only known as the top actress of the century, she was also the daughter of the Ran family and future madam of the Yang family.
F*ck! He wanted to beat someone up.
"Tick tok, tick tok... Time's running out, Chairman Yi. Hurry it up." Ran Xueyi clicked her tongue.
Chairman Yi picked up the pen and wrote a string of numbers. Twenty million was made. Next was his signature. He hesitated for a bit but if he took a lot of time hesitating again, who knows what poisonous words she would fire at him again!
Chairman Yi didn't know that he could sign his name so fast until now!
He thrusted the signed cheque to her and said, "Don't ever show your face in front of me!"
Ran Xueyi took the cheque from him and innocently said, "Then, I need you to tell the bank that they need to release the money the moment I go there."
Chairman Yi glared at her before nodding.
"Then, I'll take this now." Ran Xueyi waved her hand that had the cheque between her fingers before turning around. And just before she opened the door, she turned her body slightly towards him and asked, "By the way... You'll see my face again. But this time, inside the small screen as the top actress again!"
