Chapter 386 – Face-Slapping at the Car Show (Part One)

Waking up in the morning, it was rare to see both Dad and Brother at home. The family happily enjoyed breakfast together.

Ye Jianxing was also in a good mood, frequently glancing toward the display cabinet in the distant living room.

The cabinet was filled with various trophies and awards Yunxi had earned at Jun Yao over the past six months.

First place in the School Festival, Outstanding DIY Expert in the School Festival, first place in the Ancient Martial Arts Competition, individual champion in the Ancient Martial Arts Competition, plus the recently won wilderness survival competition championship—she was simply unbeatable!

Hahaha, all first places! Doesn’t that feel incredibly face-slapping?

Ye Jianxing straightened his back even more proudly, and even his least favorite oatmeal tasted delicious.

Ye Yunxi wiped her mouth with a napkin: “Dad, when will the movie be released?”

“After the review process and coordinating with Wan Ming Group, it should probably be released after you start school.”

Ye Jianxing counted on his fingers while silently calculating.

“Still going through Wan Ming?”

If she remembered correctly, Wan Ming had deducted at least 20% of their profits!

Making them money once was enough—did they think they could keep earning this much every time??

Heh, what a joke. Did they really think Ye Yunxi was someone they could push around?

“Yes.” Ye Junpo swallowed his bacon and nodded: “Wan Ming Group owns Wan Ming Film Industry, which controls 60% of the nation’s cinemas. If we don’t coordinate with them, our box office earnings would be cut by at least half. Imagine our 2.8 billion shrinking to 1.4 billion—better to just give them a few hundred million.”

They’re the dominant force in this field, almost monopolizing the market. Trying to take meat from their mouths is difficult.

Ye Yunxi nodded: “It’s fine, Dad. When we go to Wan Ming, I’ll go with you.”

She had no problem paying—it’s reasonable to share some earnings when using their cinemas. But taking 20% from the profits? Isn’t that too much?

After all, theater operating costs like labor and utilities are already deducted from the box office revenue. Taking another 20% from the net profit is excessive!

“Oh…”

Ye Junpo nodded without much thought, but Ye Jianxing glanced at Ye Yunxi and gave her an extra fried egg: “Yunxi, eat more, eat more!”

“Thank you, Zufu!”

The young granddaughter smiled sweetly, making Ye Jianxing’s mood suddenly brighten.

Good, very good!

After breakfast, Ye Yunji wandered over to his sister and asked: “Yunxi, any plans today?”

“Car shopping. Want to come, Brother?”

Car shopping?

Ye Yunji’s eyes lit up. Besides beautiful women, what do men love most?

Cars, of course!!

“Yes, yes, of course I’ll go! Little sister, what kind of car are you buying?”

“The company car. You and Dad can’t keep taking buses when you go out. Since you’re both busy with the movie and can’t go, I have free time. I’ll handle it.”

“Great, I’ll go with you!”

Ye Yunji knew his sister had money—Dad had told him about the film remuneration. He didn’t feel shortchanged; after all, everything came thanks to his sister. Plus, she was the Ye Family heir, so whatever made her happy was fine!

Going out, the two took a taxi straight to the auto exhibition hall.

With her brother accompanying her, she didn’t invite the Young Emperor—he was too conspicuous.

It was the final day of the auto show. Most people who had been looking around would make their purchases today, so the exhibition hall remained crowded with visitors.Ye Yunji followed behind his younger sister, unable to resist looking around: “Yunxi, this family SUV is pretty good, and the price is reasonable. Over a hundred thousand is still acceptable.”

Ye Yunxi remained silent and continued walking forward.

Didn’t like it??
