Chapter 229: Chapter 228 Who offended Ya Qing?

Bai Shuli was thunderstruck; despite his successful career, he was now thrown into a panic.

“I, I haven’t offended your fans, I haven’t even left the house today, Could there be some misunderstanding here?”

Bai Cultural and Audiovisual Company was listed under Bai Group, and it used to be quite a well-known cultural communication company. However, in recent years, the industry’s development had hit a bottleneck, and they no longer had much of a future in Wucheng, so they had to slowly expand their territory outward.

This time, Bai Shuli had finally made contact with a distinguished gentleman from Jinjing, hoping to expand both the cultural company and the Bai Family’s business into Jinjing through him.

But the only requirement the other party had was: to collaborate with Ya Qing.

Strangely enough, after several attempts, he finally got Ya Qing’s contact information. He couldn’t get the publishing rights, but he easily negotiated the audiobook rights because Ya Qing said they wanted to find a company to collaborate with within Wucheng.

They, the Bai Family, had landed such a great advantage.

But just when they were about to sign the contract, the other party refused to collaborate, which was truly agonizing for him.

“It’s not you; it’s someone else,” Ya Qing’s voice, even through a voice changer, was still light, seemingly laughing on the end, “I’m sorry, Mr. Bai, for the wild goose chase you’ve had.”

The call was then disconnected.

Bai Shuli clutched his phone, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

Bai Fangfei, who was beside him, had heard the entire conversation on the phone and was holding a copy of “Her Secret,” looking dumbfounded.

The dialogue on the phone felt oddly familiar to her.

But she didn’t have the time to think too much about it now; her mind was filled with the mockery from her classmates, Lu Mian, Guo Zihao, Yuan Hao, and others.

After a while, when Bai Fangfei looked up again, she saw her young and promising uncle, looking crestfallen.

“Who is it? Who around me has offended Ya Qing’s fans? Is this person trying to bury me?!”

“Uncle…” Bai Fangfei was also in a daze, not sure what to advise, “Uncle, let’s think of another solution, let’s go apologize to Ya Qing! Or maybe you can offer a higher royalty fee…”

Bai Shuli had thought of that. Before Ya Qing finally signed for the audiobook rights, he indeed needed to try desperately to salvage the situation.

After all, if this collaboration failed, it would mean not only losing the support of that gentleman from Jinjing, but it could also potentially offend him.

That would be someone from Jinjing, even sacrificing their whole Bai Family wouldn’t be enough!

Bai Shuli adjusted his mindset, a shadow crossing his determined eyes, “Don’t let me find out who this person is that ruined my plans, or I will make sure they pay dearly!”

Bai Fangfei shivered, seemingly frightened. Yet, she also shared the same enemy, clenching her fists, “Exactly! Whoever ruins the big plans of our Bai Family won’t be able to survive in Wucheng!”

When Lu Mian and Sui Yuan returned from the restroom, they were carrying a heavy bag.

Shouhao peered at it with curiosity, noting it hadn’t been there before they went to the bathroom.

Lu Mian placed the heavy bag on the table with a thud.

He nodded at the brothers and said leisurely, “Open it up and take a look.”

“What is it?”

“Lu Mian, you’re too much, even bringing us gifts from the restroom–”

While Guo Zihao joked halfway, his expression froze when he took out the contents, followed by frantically rubbing his eyes, “I, I, I–”

He didn’t finish his curse, as Lu Mian glared it back, with Yuanyuan still there.

Guo Zihao swallowed hard, “Wow! ‘Her Secret’!”

Shouhao also rummaged through the bag, nearly sticking his whole head inside, “These are all copies! Lu Mian, you, you, you…”
