I Met The Female CEO While Escaping A Blind Date

Chapter 27: Vicious Woman

Delilah Xenos laughed lightly and said, “I came to see you. Back then, you were the school belle who was all glamorous and glorious. I had thought that your achievements would be amazing, but I didn’t expect that you would only found such a small company. Ha, you’ve really disappointed me.”

Xenia Lewis snorted and said, “I’ll do whatever I want. As long as I’m happy, it’s none of your business.”

“You’re really wrong. This time, it’s really none of my business. Let me introduce myself. I’m now the deputy head of Millennium Productions’s investment department.” Delilah Xenos slowly announced her identity and then looked at Xenia Lewis with anticipation.

Xenia Lewis’s expression froze, and Delilah Xenos’s smile widened. “I have to add that I am in charge of your company’s financing.”

“Y-you are in charge of our company’s financing…” The corners of Xenia Lewis’s mouth twitched. There was an indescribable bitterness in her voice. Suddenly, she realized something and turned to look at Joan Cairn.

Joan Cairn quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet Xenia Lewis’s gaze.

Delilah Xenos laughed lightly and said, “Your business partner is quite smart. She directly quit the company. Joan Cairn, how much can this small company develop? You can come back to Millennium Productions Film and Television. That way, you will have more room to develop yourself.”

“Thank you, Deputy Zeng,” Joan Cairn said softly.

Xenia Lewis was furious. She pointed at Joan Cairn and her fingers were trembling. “Joan, we started our business together and suffered so much together. It wasn’t easy for us to get the company to this stage. You actually… you colluded with others to set me up!”

Joan Cairn’s lips moved. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not.

Delilah Xenos giggled and said, “Xenia Lewis, yours is just a small company. What future can you have? This is what it means to strive for greater heights. Joan Cairn has made the wisest choice.”

Xenia Lewis gritted her teeth and took a deep breath before saying, “You’ve already degraded and damaged everything you wanted. Let’s get down to business.”

“Business? Oh, right, we still have to talk about financing. I’ve always been a person who separates public from private interests. Although we had all kinds of conflicts when we were in school, it didn’t affect our cooperation. After all, if we can earn money, why not?”

......

Xenia Lewis looked at Delilah Xenos in surprise, then quickly calmed herself down. She nodded and said, “That’s right, our company has made some achievements in short videos, especially the early works we created…”

William Scott was really a little surprised. He really didn’t expect a rather temperamental girl like Xenia Lewis to be able to control her emotions like this. When she encountered something, she could determine the severity of the matter without being affected by her emotions.

Delilah Xenos waved her hand and interrupted Xenia Lewis, saying, “We have seen all of your information. Actually, our company is very interested in your small company, and we are also very interested in investing in you.”

Xenia Lewis was confused but she still said calmly, “I also think this is a win-win collaboration.”

“It’s definitely true that we’re interested in investing, but…” Delilah Xenos dragged out her voice, and then her face revealed a thick smile. “Our company does not approve of the asset evaluation.”

Xenia Lewis’s heart skipped a beat. “Then what is your estimate of our company?”

“After our company’s careful calculations and evaluation, your company’s valuation…” Delilah Xenos extended four fingers.

“Four million dollars…” Xenia Lewis heaved a sigh of relief. Their own valuation was five million dollars, so four million dollars was completely acceptable.

“No! No! No!” Delilah Xenos shook her head and said, “You’re overestimating your small company. How is this worth four million? Our valuation is… 400,000.”

“400,000!” Xenia Lewis’s face turned red with anger. “Our company now has 400,000 dollars in tangible assets. What’s valuable is our company’s intangible assets. Aren’t you going to consider this?”

“Do you really think that your idea is valuable? Let me tell you, there are so many people who want to do this now. Just a word from me and countless people will be begging me to invest. I can invest 300,000 dollars and take 75% of the shares.”

“This is robbery!” Xenia Lewis was exasperated.

“That’s not right. What do you lack now? Money. Our company can invest in you, and your company can continue to work. Of course, if you’re unwilling, then there’s nothing I can do. I’m only giving you this chance because I’m an alumnus.”

“This kind of opportunity… I don’t want it!” This was definitely a humiliation, an extreme humiliation. Xenia Lewis gritted her teeth and jumped to her feet. She pointed at Delilah Xenos and shouted, “My company doesn’t welcome you. Get out of here, now! Now!”

“Haha…” Delilah Xenos laughed so hard that she was shaking. After a while, she said, “Why? Are you angry? If you want the valuation to be higher, I’ll give you a chance. As long as you beg me, I’ll raise your company’s valuation to two million dollars.”

“Beg you?” Xenia Lewis gritted her teeth and squeezed out a voice. “Even if this company goes bankrupt, I won’t beg you. Get lost!”

Delilah Xenos’s face darkened and she said, “Xenia Lewis, I’m giving you a chance now. My patience is limited. If you miss this opportunity, you won’t have another. If I don’t finance you here, do you really think you can find other investors? Ha… Then you’re too naive. Our Millennium Productions is the most open and inclusive company. We’re the most willing investors in the entire market right now. If you can’t get money from us, then you won’t be able to succeed with others.”

“Haha…” Xenia Lewis laughed out of anger and said, “Delilah Xenos, do you think that if you have control over my fate, I will be at your mercy?”

“Isn’t that the case?” Delilah Xenos’s crossed legs shook slightly. She had a mocking smile on her face, as if she was certain that she was going to win.

Xenia Lewis puffed out her chest and said, “It’s a pity that you’re wrong. Although I don’t have any money and I was the one who painstakingly founded this company, I, Xenia Lewis, still have a backbone. I will definitely not sell out my dignity for money.”

“Well said!” William Scott shouted and applauded. William Scott praised the Xenia Lewis he was seeing now.

Delilah Xenos turned to look at William Scott and said coldly, “Who are you? You have no right to speak here.”

William Scott smiled at Delilah Xenos and said, “You’re just a deputy head. Do you really think that you can decide whether to finance it or not?”
