"Of course." Umbo's expression changed slightly. He lowered his head and coughed dryly. "After all, it's Pleasure's own people. I won't say more. It's just that …"
Su Nianhua glanced at Umbo and said faintly, "Mr. Wen, if you have something to say, just say it."
Umbo laughed dryly and looked thought-provoking. "Mr. Su, you have a good relationship with my nephew. It's inevitable that people will think too much when you mention the acquisition of Pleasure at this time. Don't tell me you want to help them in their hour of need at this time?"
Hearing this, the corners of Su Nianhua's mouth curled up, and an indifferent expression appeared on his face. "If you want to provide timely help, you have to assess your own abilities. CEO Wen, you really overestimate me. If it weren't for my uncle's interest in the domestic media industry, I wouldn't have been able to interfere in the acquisition of Huan Yu. I'm just a small-time actress."
Umbo held the cup and drank tea, hiding the suspicion on his face.
As for the acquisition of Pleasure, he naturally hoped that more people would come to compete for it, so that he could get more benefits from it. Previously, only Venture Media had extended an olive branch to him, so he didn't have much say in the price. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in a deadlock for so long because of the equity issue.
When Su Nianhua contacted him, he was worried about Venture Media insisting that he withdraw from Pleasure's contract. However, he still had to be cautious about whether he was really acting as a lobbyist for his uncle or if he had other motives.
"That's not what I meant. I just asked casually."
Wen Bo smiled and put down his cup. "Isn't it because I feel that if my nephew finds out that you're meddling in this matter, I'm afraid he'll lose face?"
"Ling Han and I are just subordinates. I'm afraid Mr. Wen thinks too much of the relationship between the two of us."
As he spoke, Su Nianhua lowered his head and glanced at his wrist. "I still have work to do today. The specific contract is here. Take a look first. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just call me. I'll tell my uncle."
Umbo quickly stood up. "Oh, okay."
Seeing Su Nianhua hurriedly walk out of the coffee shop, Umbo's suspicion lessened a bit.
From the beginning to the end, Su Nianhua did not show the slightest bit of anxiety, as if he really did have the attitude of helping someone.
After leaving the café, Su Nianhua dialed a number. The call was picked up almost instantly. Ye Huanyan's voice came through, "How was it? Did he believe you?"
"About seventy percent."
Su Nianhua lowered his voice. "Even if he really believes you, when it's time to sign the contract, my uncle will sign it. I'm afraid it'll be easily exposed."
"That won't happen. Umbo doesn't know who your so-called uncle is. Not all of the subsidiaries of the Gu Corporation do business under the name of the Gu Corporation. Gu Liu will take care of these matters. I just need to trouble you to help me mediate with Umbo during this time."
"You don't have to be so polite with me."
"Okay. Umbo will probably think of a way to keep an eye on you, so before this matter is over, let's avoid suspicion and not see each other again. We'll find time to have dinner together later."
"Okay," Su Nianhua responded. "I do have work to do tonight. After this matter is over, I want to take some time off. When the time comes, I'll ask Ling Han if he wants to bring Naonnao out to play with us."
"If things go well, I'm afraid he'll be very busy."
The two of them chatted on the phone for a while. They didn't dare to say much and hurriedly hung up the phone.
The situation was set up by Ling Han. It was a trap to let the enemy fall into it. Or, it was a matter of whether they could cross the sea under the guise of deceit.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Huanyan turned to look at Ling Han. "Isn't it inappropriate to ask Lu Shen to do this? Umbo will definitely suspect the relationship between the two of you and send someone to investigate thoroughly. We may not be able to cover up this lie. "
The man in front of the floor-to-ceiling window was tall. After Wen Yi's acupuncture took effect, the time he spent on his feet increased rapidly every day. Now, other than needing more rest at night, he was almost no different from an ordinary person.
He looked out of the window with a serious expression. "Do you know what it means to create a diversion? Yan Yan? "
First, he used Su Nianhua, who seemed to have a good relationship with him, to arouse Umbo's suspicion. He was bound to spend all his efforts on investigating the purpose of Su Nianhua's acquisition this time. When he exhausted his energy, no matter what he found, he would take advantage of the situation.
"What's the next step?"
Ye Huanyan leaned on the back of the sofa and looked at the figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. "The next step is for me to talk to him."
"…"
"At this time, Hong Rizhang should have already found out about Su Nianhua's interference. I'm afraid he can't hold it in anymore and is preparing to meet with Umbo to discuss the pros and cons."
Ling Han stood in front of the window and looked down at the entire central business district of Lanjiang City motionlessly.
The view from the apartment on the top floor of Haiyan Media was very good. From here, he could see the top floor of the Pleasure Group in the distance, which was where he used to work.
Ever since Ji Xiaoyue was pregnant, the whole family had been hanging around her. Ye Huanyan wanted to help, but couldn't. Coincidentally, the pre-screening of Remaining Life was imminent, so she didn't care about the hospital anymore and focused on her work.
Thinking about it, it seemed that she hadn't been back to the old mansion for a few days. She kept in contact with Ling Han by phone, so when Ling Han appeared here today, she was really surprised.
Nothing was tidied up on the coffee table in the apartment, except for all kinds of movie materials. Afraid of losing them, even the cleaner who came every day didn't dare to touch them casually.
"It's seven o 'clock. Do you want to stay for dinner?"
Without waiting for his answer, Ye Huanyan glanced at her wrist. "I've been eating takeout recently. There's nothing good to eat."
"It's better than drinking chicken soup every day."
Ling Han turned around. "After Xiaowu left, Sister Four and Ling Zhan have been eating out every day."
Because Ji Xiaoyue was pregnant, the old mansion was also in chaos every day. Aunt Zhang was busy cooking for Ji Xiaoyue every day and made all kinds of nourishing soups. Even Chen Yin, who was never a picky eater, couldn't take it anymore. She packed up her things and took Naonnao on a trip to lie low for a while.
"Okay, Sister Four and Ling Zhan don't have it easy either. They're here as guests, but they eat out every day."
Ye Huanyan shook her head helplessly. "When I'm done with my work, I'll cook for them myself. They sound so pitiful."
While speaking, Ye Huanyan made a call. "Gu Chi, ask the secretary to add an extra portion of takeout later."
The call was on speakerphone, so the internal line was directly connected to the assistant's office. Gu Chi's voice sounded a little muffled on the other end of the line, so he just responded with a lukewarm "Okay," and hung up.
Ye Huanyan originally wanted to ask him to bring up something else, but before she could say anything, she heard the busy tone beep.
"You're so busy with work? You don't even have time to answer the phone? "
Ye Huanyan mumbled and put down the phone. She turned to look at Ling Han and said, "I wanted him to bring you a bottle of drink to cool you down, but now you can only drink plain water. Do you mind?"
