Chapter 104 - Threats

Jiang Zhi laid down a list of all her assets in front of her eyes. After doing the calculations, she realized that she was still half a step away from the amount of money she had promised to invest.

With a shortfall of 30 million in funds, she had to think of a good solution.

At that moment, Director Zheng’s call came in.

“Jiang Zhi, Yan Zhang came to me just now, wanting to invest in my new work.

“This time, he promised that all the investments would be paid in one go and that he would not interfere in any of the filming and casting.”

“So, you see…”

Although Director Zheng did not finish his words, Jiang Zhi already understood what he meant. When she thought of how that bastard Yan Zhang still had not given up, her heart was filled with ice.

“He just watched ‘Beacon’ to make money and wanted to come in and get a piece of the cake!”

Jiang Zhi snorted coldly and told Director Zheng all about Yan Zhang’s dark history without holding anything back.

“Yan Zhang is a greedy and despicable person! For money, he can sell everyone around him, and he can also bite the hand that feeds him. Do you still remember what he did to me and the crew previously?

“If he invests in your production after that, do you have any guarantee that there would be absolutely no trouble from him? When it comes to looking for a partner, I believe that character is more important than seniority!”

Director Zheng thought of Yan Zhang’s previous behavior and his unreasonable requests, and the balance in his heart started to sway again.

“However, the new production team is already about to be prepared…”

Jiang Zhi’s eyes flashed with a flash of understanding as she promised him.

“Director Zheng, don’t worry. I will definitely transfer the 60 million to your account before the film starts shooting.”

Director Zheng’s heart suddenly relaxed. If the conditions were the same, he would definitely choose Jiang Zhi first.

After Director Zheng received Jiang Zhi’s promise, he decisively made a phone call to politely reject Yan Zhang’s investment. However, he did not expect the other party to scold him the moment the words left his mouth.

“Zheng! You actually chose that b*tch over me. Your production team will die in your hands sooner or later!

“Let me tell you, if you don’t accept my investment, then all the artistes under Swallowtail will not participate!

“When that happens I’ll see how many actors you’d be left with. How are you going to film without any cast?!”

Director Zheng did not let loose on Yan Zhang just then. While he was angry, he was also somewhat glad that he had listened to Jiang Zhi’s words. He held his breath and calmly said.

“There’s no need for Director Yan to worry about that.”

After saying that, Director Zheng directly hung up the phone.

After Yan Zhang heard the beeping on the other side, he fiercely flung his phone at a wall. Looking at the broken pieces on the ground, the anger in his heart reached its peak.

Jiang Zhi, you b*tch, you’re ruining everything again!

After Director Zheng hung up the phone, his rationality gradually returned. A slight worry rose in his heart. There were quite a number of artistes under Swallowtail. If he really could not replace them…

He thought about it and gave Jiang Zhi a call. He told her about Yan Zhang’s threats and his own worries.

“Director Zheng, you don’t have to worry about this. I’m already prepared for this. Swallowtail is not the only entertainment company in the world.”

Director Zheng felt relieved after hearing Jiang Zhi’s words. He had been with Jiang Zhi for so long, and he had developed a lot of trust in her.

Jiang Zhi returned to the villa wearily. Her mind was filled with thoughts of raising funds. She sat on the sofa in a daze.

Lu Mian’s eyes flashed when he saw her like this. He half-lay on the sofa and placed his head on Jiang Zhi’s thighs. He gently wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his head in her belly, rubbing against it. He took in her fragrance.

Jiang Zhi was worried about the 30 million yuan, so she did not have the mood to mess around with Lu Mian. She gently nudged his head.

“Don’t mess around.”

“Zhi Zhi, what are you worrying about?”

Lu Mian flipped over and let her sit on top of him. He wrapped one hand around her waist and unbuttoned her shirt with the other hand.

Jiang Zhi could feel the hot, hard object between her legs. Her cheeks turned red in the face of the oncoming hormones. She bit her red lips gently.

“It’s nothing. It’s just some work stuff.”

Lu Mian tightened his arms and their bodies pressed together. His lips followed Jiang Zhi’s eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips, biting her snow-white neck.

Jiang Zhi could feel Lu Mian’s hot hands burning her body. Her body was filled with lust and emptiness, and she could not help but moan.

“Lu Mian, give it to me…”

A smile flashed across Lu Mian’s eyes. He turned around and pressed the person in his arms under him. The heat from his crotch kept rubbing against Jiang Zhi’s legs. His elbows were placed beside her ears, and his deep voice was filled with temptation.

“Zhi Zhi, if you want it, tell me what you’re worried about.”

Jiang Zhi’s face was slightly red, and she could not help but blurt it all out in the addled state of her lust.

“30 million, the investment I promised Director Zheng. I don’t even have something close to that amount…”

Lu Mian got the answer he wanted, and his desire reached its limit..

The very moon seemed to have turned red from the embarrassment of the two people in the room, and the afterglow cast a shadow on the wall of the room where the two of them were entangled.
