My wife is in my arms

Chapter 702 Suffering a Loss (Part 9)

"What would I need a kidney for?! Don't make jokes like that."

Zhang You replied irritably.

"What kidney!?"

Lin Bao'er was taken aback, then chuckled. Noticing her assistant was still in the office, she immediately said to Song Lan, "Song Lan, you can go out now. I need to talk to Zhang You."

"what"

When she saw Chairman Lin patting her stomach, she realized something and was momentarily stunned. When she heard Chairman Lin tell her to leave, Song Lan paused for a moment, then realized what was happening. She quickly nodded and replied, "Okay," before walking out.

I had just stepped out of the office.

Song Lan felt a pang of regret. Not long ago, when Sister Han came over, she had sworn that the two of them had only known each other since childhood and that their relationship was not what they thought it was.

But now... Song Lan realizes that she is still too young.

Sister Han, with her extensive experience, was convinced from the beginning that the two had a close relationship. Now, it seems they've even used having a child as a gamble. Clearly, Director Zhang has always disagreed with Director Lin having a child, but as a woman in her thirties, seeing her youth fading and her beauty fading, she knows that if she doesn't have a child now, it will be too late.

So they chose to force Director Zhang to agree to let her have a child by making a bet.

After Song Lan left, Lin Bao'er smiled at Zhang You and said, "The company bought the script for 'Goodbye Mr. Loser,' and will pay you the fee for a top-tier screenwriter..."

"Are you still half asleep?!"

Zhang You asked back.

Starting from noon, Zhang You realized that Lin Bao'er was trying to take advantage of him.

Knowing full well that he's rather lazy, they still forced him to make that "slap slap slap" bet. Clearly, they knew he could never become a world superstar, and they were just using that impossibility to get a few songs out of him.

"Then we'll each invest half, no less."

Lin Bao'er compromised, saying, "I told you, I'll bet my own pregnancy with you. You give up half of your investment, and when you become a world superstar, I'll not only let you have sex with me, but I'll also give you a baby. I guarantee you won't lose out."

"You're desperate to take advantage of me!"

Zhang You said angrily.

"Don't be angry! First, you need to confirm one thing: tell me if my belly is worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions! So this is a fair bet. You give up half of the investment in 'Goodbye Mr. Loser,' and when you become a world superstar, you'll not only have the opportunity to 'sleep' with me, but I'll also have your baby."

Seeing Zhang You's expression.

Lin Bao'er pressed on, saying, "So you're just too afraid to gamble? If you really do that, you'll never be able to shake off the label of 'Zhang Xiaomei'."

Replace it with another man.

Even as a joke, Lin Bao'er wouldn't make such a joke.

But Zhang You was an exception. Especially seeing Zhang You looking very angry, Lin Bao'er got even more excited. Anyway, no matter how good this guy was, he could never become a world superstar, so this was nothing more than an empty promise.

Using a worthless check, she could squeeze some benefits out of Zhang You. She would take as much as she could get. Since he was in the company, Lin Bao'er would feel guilty if she didn't extract as much value from him as possible.

They earned over 100 million yuan from just two songs.

To be honest, even she was a little jealous of her money-making ability.

This guy hasn't taken on any endorsements yet, but if he does, it'll probably be a huge income, plus his 75 million appearance fee for participating in the second season of "Special Voice".

If we really calculate it that way, the money this guy could earn recently might exceed Tianyu Entertainment's total annual revenue, and that doesn't even include that album that many fans have been longing for.

Once it's released... this guy goes from a top musician to a top singer.

The transition between these two identities was facilitated by just two songs, and then the album was released, marking a successful transformation. Even childbirth doesn't happen that quickly.

"Bao'er, you've gone too far."

Zhang You said angrily.

"Want to bet or not!? If you don't, I'll yell, and I'll yell it out openly. Anyway, the rumors in the company say you're the 'Nine Thousand Years Old' of Tianyu Entertainment. Since you're the 'Nine Thousand Years Old,' you're practically my sister!"

Lin Bao'er coaxed with a smile, "Let's gamble! Look how big I'm willing to bet, so just gamble with me. You don't need to put in much effort, just three songs plus an investment in 'Goodbye Mr. Loser'... Remember, it's an investment. The company isn't refusing to invest, and all investments carry risk. I'm risking my pregnancy with you. Tell me, is there anyone better than you?! Okay! Your wife counts as one."

"So you know I have a wife?!"

Zhang You asked back.

"So what! You can't become the world anyway..."

Seeing Zhang You's cold expression, Lin Bao smiled and changed his tune, "There's still a tiny bit of a chance. Using that tiny bit of probability to gamble on a chance to kiss me and even give you a chance to have a baby—you've hit the jackpot!"

No gambling.

Zhang You shook his head and refused outright.

If Youyi Studio weren't too small to independently complete the entire process of a film from project initiation to production and distribution, he wouldn't have given up any of his investment share.

After all, this movie is a classic example of a small investment yielding a huge return on Earth.

With an investment of over 20 million, the total box office reached just over 1.4 billion.

Even if the location is changed, and Shen Teng, who has comedic talent, is not involved, it should easily gross 500-600 million, let alone 1 billion, which would be quite good.

After deducting theater revenue sharing and various taxes, a film with a profit of 200% is enough to make investors very happy. If it's 500%... it will definitely make that investor even more enthusiastic about investing in the film.

A tenfold return... investors would be so excited they'd faint.

Now Lin Bao'er wants to use a meaningless, empty bet to steal money from him. Zhang You will never accept this. Usually, he is the one robbing others, but now someone is actually robbing him instead.

"Really not gambling!?"

Lin Bao'er was also getting a little angry.

Although "having sex" and "having a baby" were just pretexts to get real benefits from Zhang You, his attitude still made Lin Bao'er very unhappy.

You know, most men, even knowing it's a trap, would still jump in without hesitation for some reason. But Zhang You! He just glanced at the edge of the pit and wanted to run away. How could that be allowed?!
So Lin Bao'er chose to back down slightly, saying, "Then it'll be one-third, no less than that. Zhang You, let me tell you clearly, you have to gamble today. Give me three songs for free, plus your company taking a one-third share of the investment in 'Goodbye Mr. Loser.' That's all. Once you become a world-class superstar, come find me. I, Lin Bao'er, keep my word. Why are you staring at me like that?! You don't believe me? Fine then."

talking.

Lin Bao'er pulled a piece of paper out of her desk drawer.

Then, taking a pen, he began to write quickly under Zhang You's watchful eye. After finishing the writing, he marked the date and even took out his own seal to stamp it on.

She signed her name "Lin Bao'er" again.

"I have not……"

Before Zhang You could finish speaking, Lin Bao'er shoved the betting agreement she had written into his hand, then got up and kicked him out, saying, "Why is a grown man being so indecisive! Just bet when I tell you to. If you lose, it's just three songs and a small investment share. It's such a small thing, why are you still hesitating?"

They seemed worried that Zhang You might come back.

Lin Bao'er turned around, holding a stack of documents in her hands. Song Lan, who was walking over from a distance, instructed her, "Don't let him in."
