My wife is in my arms

Chapter 888 The Villain (Part 4)

He just finished speaking.

A senior executive at iMusic gave a wry smile and said, "Don't say I don't have that authority. Even if I did, I wouldn't dare help you. Things like removing songs require a meeting to discuss. Once I open that door for you, others can easily ask me to remove songs released by competitors' artists."

"Stop with the nonsense and just tell me, did Chairman Lin of Tianyu Entertainment speak to your company?"

Vice Chairman Chen was furious.

"I can only tell you, you're in big trouble this time."

Finish this sentence.

The other party then hung up the phone.

Clearly, this was someone who didn't want to say much to him, and only offered this brief suggestion out of consideration for their many years of friendship. Vice Chairman Chen, holding his phone, was lost in thought.

According to his idea.

First, get all these songs removed from the iMusic platform, then make it so that there's no way to prove anything. Even if Allen's song has already been exposed for plagiarism, as long as the song can't be found, just let it go.

If all else fails, just give up on Allen. After all, he doesn't contribute much value to the company, and compared to the others, he's insignificant.

But now… After hesitating for a long time, Vice Chairman Chen pulled out Lin Bao'er's phone number from Tianyu Entertainment and dialed it directly. When the call connected, Vice Chairman Chen suppressed his inner panic, laughed loudly, and said, “Chairwoman Lin, what’s going on?! Let’s talk this out! What did I do wrong to make you angry? Just tell me, and I’ll apologize immediately. There’s really no need to make a scene like this. Name your conditions! As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it without hesitation.”

He has no other choice now.

The fact that Ai Music is unwilling to remove these songs means that things will escalate. For now, he can still control it, but once it gets bigger, even he doesn't know what will happen.

However, the only thing he was certain of was that his fate would not be good.

Suddenly labeling so many of the company's signed singers as plagiarists is enough to cause a stir, not only among the chairman but also among the singers themselves.

"I heard you own 7% of Zhuma Company's shares. According to market prices, your shares are worth 140 million. I'll give you 50 million; sell those shares to me."

Lin Baoer spoke.

"you……"

Vice Chairman Chen is magnanimous.

"Don't give me that. You don't have much time to think. Once the issue of Allen's songs comes to light, other singers will become alert and check if their own songs have any problems. Once they find out there are problems, your use of these songs to win people over will become a deadly poison. The only reason I'm willing to talk to you now is because the stocks you hold still have value. Once things escalate, the value of your stocks will plummet, and you will lose all your value."

Lin Bao'er said calmly.

She learned from Zhang You some time ago that this guy had someone follow him but hadn't taken any action yet; he was just having someone investigate the value of the shares held by Vice Chairman Chen.

Only after realizing it was worth a considerable amount of money did they smash an Allen statue.

As the owner of a company, even though Zhang You asked her to help him get revenge, Lin Bao'er did not choose the thankless task, but instead chose the way that maximized her own interests.

After getting the shares from Vice Chairman Chen, we can give Zhang You ten million to appease him. Lin Bao'er believes that Zhang You is so shrewd, how could he not understand... Simple revenge is the least meaningful thing; getting something tangible is what matters.

"impossible"

Vice Chairman Chen said angrily, "Chairman Lin, although this matter will cause me trouble, as long as these singers' companies are still in the company, they won't be able to cause any major problems. Twenty million is my bottom line."

"Then take your time to think it over. Once you've figured it out, then we can talk. But by then, it's uncertain whether you'll still be in a position to talk to me."

Lin Bao'er hung up the phone immediately.

She has the initiative now, so she's not in a hurry at all.

Since we've already started, let's go all the way. Although the situation inside Zhuma Company is terrible, spending 50 million to acquire all the shares held by Vice Chairman Chen is not a bad deal.

You can choose to sell it or keep it later.

Chairman Chen

The secretary was about to offer some words of comfort when she was told, "Get out."

Having recently enjoyed someone's gentleness, Vice Chairman Chen angrily said that after his secretary left the office, he picked up the water glass on his desk... and was about to smash it, but ultimately restrained himself.

He knew that it was precisely at this time that he needed to avoid making a rash decision.

As for Chairman Lin's offer of 50 million to buy all of his shares, how could that be possible... Even if this matter blows up and his position as vice chairman is in jeopardy, he can simply cash out his shares and live a carefree life.

After standing there for a while, he took out his phone again and dialed the number of the culprit.

“Who is it!?”

Zhang You's voice came through the phone.

"Mr. Zhang, don't you remember me? You really have a bad memory!"

Vice Chairman Chen, his face grim, said, "I'm just asking you, did you deliberately cause trouble? Did you team up with that Xu Wei to swindle me out of two million and dig such a huge pit for me?"

"hehe"

Zhang You chuckled twice and said, "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. You stole something from someone else's house to sell, and then when the goods had problems, you actually blamed the owner of the goods. But... I understand you. You originally wanted to get something for nothing, but now that things have gone wrong, it's no wonder you're angry. By the way, what's your name?"

"..."

Vice Chairman Chen's face darkened.

Even when faced with Chairman Lin's exorbitant demands, he remained composed, but Zhang You's last words almost broke his guard.

"Never mind, it's not important."

Zhang You smiled and said, "If I may ask, what's the meaning of this call? Are you going to apologize or threaten me? If it's an apology, then go to church. As for threats... I think actions speak louder than words. Okay, I have to go upstairs to teach my child piano; I don't have time to continue this conversation."

The call was hung up again.

Unable to bear it any longer, Vice Chairman Chen finally took action against the teacup.

"boom"

With a crisp crack, the teacup shattered into pieces.

Allen walked in with his manager, followed by several other people. These singers had all dropped everything and rushed over after hearing the news.

His secretary was trying to stop these people, but was pushed aside by a middle-aged man.

Normally, they might need to show respect to the vice chairman's secretary, but when it comes to the continuation of their careers, offending a mere secretary becomes insignificant in the face of such a major issue.

For a while.

The sizable office became crowded.

"Who let you in?!"

Vice Chairman Chen questioned in a cold voice.

"Chairman Chen, you're the one who provided the song. Now that there's a problem, you have to offer a solution! Once we're labeled as plagiarists, we'll have no way to operate in the future."

"I have already reported this matter to the chairman."

"Chairman Chen, are you trying to get everyone killed?!"

The office was in complete chaos, which is enough to show that when it comes to one's own interests, the original respect and consideration will disappear.

Whether in a company or at home, you have to produce results to gain a certain status, and Vice Chairman Chen's actions have completely destroyed his prestige.

The main problem is that this guy has never done anything good to begin with.
