My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 609: Late Retribution 17

Yuran blinked her eyes and seized the opportunity, "May I invest in your project? Give me a chance?"

Huo Qi almost spat out his coffee, "Aren’t you worried about losing all your money?"

Yuran calmly held her coffee like a lady at a high-class afternoon tea, took a sip, and asked lightly, "But you are Huo Qi, would you let me lose all my money? After all, you will eventually need to attract investments. Putting our relationship aside, just treat me as an investor you’ve attracted."

"Do you know how much investment I need? How can you guarantee so recklessly?"

Yuran wasn’t worried at all, "How much do you need? I might not have it, but my husband does."

This flaunting of wealth and superiority from feeding the dog really is annoying.

Huo Qi: "..."

Yuran, "Director Huo, what’s with that look? Give me a chance to make some money."

"Your husband has plenty of money."

Yuran: "..."

Suddenly feeling a bit peculiar after her own words smacked her in the face, but it didn’t sound too good, "Well, my husband’s money is mine, and mine is still mine. Can I ever complain about having too much money?"

There’s nothing wrong with that statement. Huo Qi raised an eyebrow, looking at Yuran with a half-smile, "Are you really planning to invest in my new movie?"

"Which statement did you not hear clearly about my sincerity?"

Huo Qi, "At least three billion? Do you have it?"

Yuran spoke grandly, "My husband has it. Hold on, let me ask him."

Huo Qi raised an eyebrow, leisurely watching her incredible handiwork, and then saw Yuran take out her phone and dial Bo Yan’s number. In just a few seconds, he answered.

Ignoring the initial "baby" greeting, Yuran relayed the situation here and her own request to Bo Yan, briefly, not in detail.

Yuran had on speakerphone, so Bo Yan’s conversation with her was all heard by Huo Qi.

Upon hearing about three billion, Bo Yan casually asked, "With these three billion, won’t you be very happy?"

Yuran hummed affirmatively, "I should be, because the return on these three billion will definitely exceed three billion, Brother Seven, why not give it a try?"

"Your happiness is most important. Isn’t my card with you? Feel free to use it."

After hanging up the phone, Yuran boasted triumphantly, "Huo Qi, now, do you understand? Three billion, I can do it, I have it."

Huo Qi sighed.

"Damn wealthy capitalists."

Yuran, "Oh, don’t talk such nonsense, let’s just talk numbers. I’m investing, a thirty-seventy split; I don’t want too much, just thirty percent, okay?"

After thinking it over, Yuran added, "Never mind, just treat it as if I’m lending you the money. When the time comes, just return the principal to me; I really shouldn’t take too much advantage of the situation, it wouldn’t be fair to you. Let’s settle it like this."

Without saying a word, the overwhelmed Huo Qi who had listened to Yuran finish: "..."

With a resigned sigh, he said, "Yuran, do you even know what three billion can do?"

"I know, but what’s the problem in lending it to you?"

Huo Qi: "..."

He’s too carefree.

Yuran waved the notebook in his hand, "I just glanced at the summary, and I think I like this story; I will discuss it properly with my Seventh Brother when I get back."

"Yeah, that’s great. If you and Bo Yan, the great movie star, could both star in it, that would be fantastic."

"I’ll try my best, by the way, you went to my master’s place to pick something up today; he didn’t give you any trouble, right? If you heard anything unpleasant, don’t take it to heart," Yuran said, thinking of Ao Chen’s temper and couldn’t help but explain to Huo Qi.

Huo Qi was somewhat surprised, "You know Ao Chen?"

"Sort of know him; our relationship is just so-so. He taught me some music knowledge; I call him ’Master’, so it doesn’t seem right not to acknowledge him," Yuran babbled, "Personally, I refuse to know him; he’s too noisy."

"That’s true," Huo Qi commented thoughtfully.

Yuran finally found someone who understood him, "Exactly, it’s like great minds think alike. You really are my senior brother; you see people just the way I do. Did he give you a hard time?"

"Not really, just that he talks too much nonsense, which affects the mood."

Yuran laughed awkwardly, "Sorry about that; I should have gone there in person. He’s grumpy in the morning, so he might not have been in a good mood."

"Pfft..." Huo Qi laughed, "Why are you apologizing on his behalf? It has nothing to do with you. Besides, I’ve already sold that apartment to you, how to handle it is your right; you’ve been storing so much of my stuff for free, I’m already very grateful, why apologize?"

"I just feel, if you met Ao Chen, he might have annoyed you. That’s just his nature; I absolutely believe it."

Huo Qi: "..."

...

After ending the meeting with Huo Qi, Huo Qi thought of something and asked Yuran, "That ’City of Temptation’ you worked on with Huanya before, can I take a look at the original footage? Maybe I can give some advice."

Huo Qi hadn’t brought it up, but Yuran hadn’t thought of it. She took out her phone, contacted someone, and quickly took Huo Qi to Ran Studio.

Seeing Yuran bring a stranger, Qi Younian wandered over to her, "What are you planning to do? Who is this guy?"

Yuran introduced Huo Qi to everyone and then seeing Gui Yu who followed, she casually said, "Director Gui, why don’t you and Director Huo exchange some ideas? Maybe the final cut of ’City of Temptation’ can be taken to another level. You’ll know Huo Qi’s capabilities once you get to know him."

Gui Yu, who paid attention to newcomers in the industry, and knowing Huo Qi was quite famous in New York, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Just got back to the country?"

Huo Qi smiled wryly and nodded, "Senior, please enlighten me."

Gui Yu shook his head, "Not at all, not at all, although I think my finished film is quite excellent, I’m still open to any constructive suggestions you might offer."

"You flatter me."

That entire afternoon, the two of them cooped up in the company’s conference room watching the original footage, while Yuran and Meng Qiuyan chatted happily on the side. In the past few days, since Yuran had mentioned to Qi Younian that Qiuyan might be a target, Qi Younian had been keeping a close eye on Meng Qiuyan.

Worried that Meng Qiuyan would cause trouble out of his sight.

Yuran teased her, "When are you and Qi Younian planning to get married? In a few years, Qi Younian will be old enough to be a grandfather."

Meng Qiuyan nearly choked, incredulously looking at her sister who was disparaging Qi Younian, and couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "With such a young face like yours, calling you ’sister’ feels like a crime. Can’t you compliment your brother-in-law properly?

Why do you disparage him in front of me? Aren’t you worried, what if your brainwashing succeeds and I start disliking him? You’ve said it yourself; I’m not getting any younger, what if I can’t find someone to marry?"

"Qi Younian dare not like you?" Yuran suddenly realized, "Is his eyesight not very good? Where are you guys living now? At Qi Younian’s place?"

Meng Qiuyan: "..."

Yuran, "Did Situ Jue kidnap Niannian? Is that creating the perfect condition for you two?"
