My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 789: Sorry, You Are Not Worthy

Xiao Zheng had just received the contract when Ah Bai hurried over, suddenly remembering that Park Eun-si and his agent were both very arrogant. If they angered Xiao Zheng, it could lead to some terrible consequences.

By the time Ah Bai arrived, Xiao Zheng was already looking at the contract. She smiled politely at Park Eun-si’s agent, then sat down beside them.

Xiao Zheng naturally noticed Ah Bai’s arrival but didn’t speak, just continuing to look at the contract. Suddenly, the tea room fell silent.

A faint smile hung on the face of Park Eun-si’s agent, exuding confidence, while Ah Bai was a bit nervous.

"Is this your proposal?" Finally, after examining each item in the contract, Xiao Zheng looked up at Park Eun-si’s agent.

"Yes," the agent nodded and added, "Originally, some terms in this contract were negotiable, but I think you underestimate the value of our Eun-si!

This is an insult to our Eun-si. Therefore, if any term here is not agreed upon, we will not sign the contract."

As he said this, the agent revealed a smile that seemed tinged with a threat. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Ah Bai was startled by the agent’s attitude.

It was a very tough stance!

"Never mind the other points for now, but there’s one thing I don’t quite understand," Xiao Zheng continued, his tone barely fluctuating. "The contract mentions that Park Eun-si has another film commitment in South Korea. You would need to return to South Korea to shoot that film every other day, and additionally, we would have to arrange a private plane for this back and forth."

"Of course." Park Eun-si’s agent replied matter-of-factly: "Our Eun-si has given you great face by coming to develop his career here. We certainly won’t give up the South Korean audience for the Huaxia market.

You should know that being popular in South Korea means popularity across the whole of Asia and even North America and Europe. Being popular in Huaxia is of no use; it just means earning a bit more money."

At that, Xiao Zheng’s expression darkened.

Without saying a word, he tore up the contract in front of the agent, then threw the pieces in the agent’s face, declaring solemnly, "Sorry, but we do not welcome people from Korea."

Having said that and without giving the other party a chance to respond, he stood up, turned to Ah Bai and said, "Ah Bai, let’s go."

"What... what are you doing? Xiao Zheng, this is too much!" Park Eun-si’s agent was shocked and then angrily protested.

"Brother Xiao..." Ah Bai looked at Xiao Zheng timidly.

But Xiao Zheng didn’t pay any attention to Park Eun-si’s agent. He had already left the tea room and was walking toward the hotel’s main entrance, decisive in his departure.

Seeing this, Ah Bai glanced at Park Eun-si’s agent, then back at Xiao Zheng, and finally stomped her foot before chasing after Xiao Zheng.

"What kind of person is this, really. Humph! You’ll come crawling back to me," Park Eun-si’s agent fumed quietly after witnessing the scene, swearing under her breath.

However, despite her words, she was somewhat panicked inside; after all, this was a hundred-million deal. If she messed it up, Park Eun-si would definitely fire her.

...

Meanwhile, Xiao Zheng had already stepped outside the hotel. Ah Bai caught up to him and tried to reason with him: "Brother Xiao, even if we couldn’t come to an agreement, it’s not that big of a deal, is it? It might be expensive, but it’s definitely worth it."

Ah Bai continued, "Currently, those celebrities from South Korea have a lot of fans in Huaxia, and they’re all incredibly fanatical. If Park Eun-si appeared in the film, we’d definitely get a lot of box office receipts."

"Ah Bai, you are mistaken," Xiao Zheng shook his head.

"Mistaken?" Ah Bai was taken aback.

Xiao Zheng said calmly, "Tell me, why do we make films?"

"That..." Ah Bai was at a loss; she hadn’t thought about this kind of question before.

"We make films for the audience!" Xiao Zheng declared, "To give them a wonderful, dreamlike experience. To let them feel as if they’re living another life in the span of two hours."

"But do you think choosing an actor like Park Eun-si can achieve that? Just look at him. Aside from his arrogant attitude, the fact that he has signed other filming commitments during our collaboration

clearly shows that he will not take our film seriously."

"Indeed, you’re right!"

"Choosing Park Eun-si would yield a lot of box office revenue because he has many fans. But wouldn’t that be deceiving the audience? This is miles away from our original intention of making films,

and it’s equally removed from our goal of creating quality cinema!"

"If it’s just for making money, we have a million other ways to do that, so why resort to this?"

Ah Bai listened and became deeply contemplative.

"Ah Bai, there’s something I have to say; you have a big problem," Xiao Zheng said, looking at Ah Bai and criticizing, "In your work, you always focus on immediate benefits, superficial gains, while overlooking the essentials."

"This was true when you were persuading Xiao Ran to sign with Glory Company, and it’s the same now with contacting Park Eun-si. Such actions might have some benefits, but they are harmful in the long run. Think it over."

After a long silence, Ah Bai nodded and said, "Brother Xiao, you’re right; I’m sometimes indeed too shortsighted."

"Glad you understand," Xiao Zheng encouraged her. "Oh, and cancel all our expenses at this hotel. Since we are not cooperating with Park Eun-si, we don’t need to pay for them."

"Okay."

Ah Bai nodded immediately.

...

On the other side, Park Eun-si’s agent returned to her room, her face full of anger and indignation.

"Hmph, they dare to tear up the contract? They’ll regret it," the agent thought bitterly to herself.

At the same time, she informed Park Eun-si of the situation. Upon hearing the news, Park Eun-si was also enraged, exclaiming, "A mere Huaxia businessman dares to tear up the contract, how bold of them!"

After venting his frustration, Park Eun-si calmed down and said, "This is, after all, a hundred-million project. If it’s possible not to give it up, we should try not to. Let’s continue to stay here for a few more days.

I believe they will come back to us shortly after they leave. Hmph, making films is not such a simple matter. There are many constraints, and it’s definitely not something a single person in charge can control.

By now, Qianqiu Group must be in total chaos."

"Our Eun-si’s vision is indeed different," the agent immediately flattered.
