Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband

1793 Compensating So Much Money

“Really? Although the police haven’t released a statement yet, neither have you. Aren’t you tacitly admitting that your artist really did do it?”

For the sake of benefits, the other party’s attitude was quite tough.

Lu Yaolan was too anxious to suppress Ji Rufeng and make an example out of him. She had been dealing with this matter coldly, causing the outside world to have the impression that Nirvana Entertainment was in the wrong, so they were not in a hurry to do any PR work.

Their attitude meant that Ji Rufeng’s matter was most likely true.

Since it was true, it was reasonable for the other party to ask for compensation and cut their losses in time.

Only then did Lu Yaolan understand that if she wanted to suppress someone, she would have to deal with all aspects of the matter. The entanglement of interests was also extremely complicated. She couldn’t mess with an artiste that easily.

All this cost would add up to 100 million!

How long would it take to earn back 100 million?

And now, because of her impulsiveness, she almost lost that sum of money!

The other party still showed some mercy. He put down the document and said, “President Lu, I know you need time to think about it and gather the money. I’ll keep the contract first. We’ll come back in two days.”

The secretary sent both parties out.

A moment later, Gao Ban called. “President Lu, we’ve already received payment for the variety show contract that I signed for Ji Rufeng. Now, the other party wants double the compensation. Should I take the contract back for you to sign and then pay for it? Or should I hand it over to a lawyer?”

Lu Yaolan did not speak for a long time. Gao Ban then said arrogantly, “Oh, right. Brother Yue Ze still has to sign the compensation for the commercials. I’ll wait for him!”

Lu Yaolan was in a terrible fix!

Why didn’t she know that she had to compensate so much for Ji Rufeng?

Of course, she didn’t know. Ever since she came back, she had taken it upon herself to chase Su Lu away. Then, her main goal was to suppress and eliminate Su Lu’s trusted aides. The company’s performance was all thanks to the hard work of those in the company. In fact, the company’s performance was still pretty good on paper.

A lot of the people in Nirvana had received help from the company and felt attached to it, which was why they did not fall out with her. However, Lu Yaolan thought that she was managing the company well and that it would still be profitable even without Su Lu.

She had never thought about these problems.

“Let Yue Ze and Gao Ban come back,” Lu Yaolan said to the secretary.

In the afternoon, Yue Ze and Gao Ban arrived late and appeared in Lu Yaolan’s office together.

“Have you thought about how to resolve Ji Rufeng’s matter?”

“We’ve already missed the best time for public relations. We can only wait for the police to give clear evidence,” Yue Ze said. “The company hasn’t done any public relations for a long time. We’ve already lost the trust of Ji Rufeng’s fans and have no way out.”

Lu Yaolan’s heart trembled. It was not for Ji Rufeng, but for the money she had to compensate for Ji Rufeng’s accident.

After all, the company belonged to Lu Weijian. In other words, it belonged to her. Her heart ached for every cent.

Lu Yaolan said, “Do we still have a chance?”

Yue Ze and Gao Bin shook their heads at the same time.

Yue Ze said calmly, “The advertisers have asked for compensation. The eight major advertisers and the three companies that were about to sign contracts with us are demanding total compensation of more than 100 million yuan. This time, Ji Rufeng suffered heavy losses and will never be able to make a comeback in the future.”

Lu Yaolan regretted it.

“Think of something!” Lu Yaolan slammed the table.

Yue Ze and Gao Ban remained silent.

Yue Ze took off his glasses and wiped them slowly. Lu Yaolan only cared about benefits. She did not even ask about Ji Rufeng and if he was framed.

It was obvious that this woman had no heart. Compared to Su Bei, she was far inferior.

He flipped through the documents in his hand and turned a deaf ear.

“Go look for Su Lu,” Yue Ze said calmly.

Lu Yaolan could not lower her head.

Her eyes widened, and her breathing quickened. Wrinkles and spots appeared under her exquisite makeup.

She refused to do that!

However, she fell into deep thought again upon recalling the compensation of more than 100 million.

After Yue Ze and Gao Ban left, Gao Ban finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He laughed until his shoulders were hunched. “President Su’s move is too ruthless. It feels so good to see President Lu suffer! It feels even better than a bottle of cold beer on a hot day!”

Yue Ze smiled. “You have to keep an eye on Ji Rufeng. You can’t let your guard down.”

“Don’t worry, all parties have made arrangements. I’ve also talked to the higher-ups of all parties about the evidence of his surgery. Everyone has said that as long as the police can prove that Ji Rufeng really didn’t do anything, he’ll get what he deserves,” Gao Ban said. “Just look at the old witch’s expression. It’s simply satisfying!”

…

Su Bei quickly received a call from Lu Yaolan.

“President Su, let’s talk.”

Su Bei agreed.

She was invited to Lu Yaolan’s private clubhouse.

Lu Yaolan had exquisite makeup on and was wearing high-end custom-made clothes. She arrived in a luxury car.

Su Bei, on the other hand, was still dressed casually and inconspicuously.

“President Su, I invited you here today mainly because of Ji Rufeng,” Lu Yaolan said. “I’ve always thought highly of Ji Rufeng. I didn’t do any public relations this time because I wanted to teach him a lesson. I didn’t want young people like him to not know the severity of things and make harmful mistakes in the future. But I didn’t expect things to get out of hand. President Su, I know you still have some ideas. You don’t want to see the career of the young star you raised ruined, right?”

Su Bei smiled and said, “President Lu, are you willing to hand over the passwords to his and the company’s Weibo accounts?”

“Of course.” Compared to the 100 million yuan loss, the passwords weren’t important.

“I have a request too. I want to go back to the company.” Su Bei had already thought it through. She could not watch as the empire she built was ruined in the hands of another.

She wanted to go back in and suppress Lu Yaolan.

Actually, she still had a lot of requests. But she knew that the police were about to announce the truth about Ji Rufeng’s matter. She did not have many bargaining chips, so she chose to make the most important request.

...

Lu Yaolan gritted her teeth and said, “Alright, what position do you want?”

“I want to be the executive manager.”

Lu Yaolan took a deep breath. Being the executive manager meant that Su Lu wanted to control the company, and he would have actual management rights.

Lu Yaolan was really unwilling to make this concession.

She would be giving up the entire company!

However, the matter was imminent, so she had no choice but to give in. “Sure, but don’t forget that the company belongs to my son. No matter what, I have the highest authority. You can do whatever you want, but you have to listen to me in the future.”

“Okay, deal!” Su Bei reached out and shook her hand.

…

That night, the police’s investigation announcement was released.
