Chapter 401 – Confronting Qin Ziheng Head-On (Part Two)

Wang Zaihao wore an expression as if he had swallowed something disgusting.

Teasing you?

Hah, I wish the Young Miss was just teasing you!

Acquiring shares of Holiday Film??

Young Miss, you might as well acquire my entire operation—it would be more profitable than this failing cinema!!

“If you think it’s a tease, that’s fine. President Qin, name your price.”

Ye Yunxi narrowed her eyes and chuckled lightly.

[Ding! Prestige +10!]

Damn, does she have to be this arrogant?

Qin Ziheng’s expression grew increasingly unpleasant, his stare at Ye Yunxi so intense it seemed capable of boring two holes through her!

The atmosphere in the room reached a stalemate. Even Wang Zaihao didn’t know what to say now.

Anyone could see Qin Ziheng was extremely angry, with clear signs he might erupt into fury!

Though he appeared to be a fair-skinned, refined young man, teetering on the edge of rage made even a handsome man less appealing.

Ye Yunxi remained unhurried, continuing to lounge lazily on the sofa, playing with her jet-black hair.

Finally, Qin Ziheng let out an angry laugh, his gaze cold as he stared at Ye Yunxi. “Little girl, I don’t care what nonsense Wang Zaihao has been telling you. The shares of our Holiday Film are not something a young girl like you should covet. Let me be frank with you—we have our differences. I hope you haven’t been deceived by Wang Zaihao!”

“He told me nothing. I only asked him to show me the way.”

Ye Yunxi slowly sat up straight. “In the business world, buying and selling shares or forming partnerships is common. Holiday has been in a slump for so long. Surely, President Qin, you’ve thought about how to return to its former peak?”

How could he not have thought about it?

He thought about it constantly!

But was it any use??

Now the film industry is dominated by Wan Ming!

They’ve suppressed all other film companies, making business difficult—especially for established players like us, who are struggling even more!

  Qin Ziheng glanced at the performance report, his expression darkening further.

Seeing his hesitation, Ye Yunxi continued, “Holiday actually has its advantages. Your cinemas hold a 21% market share in Yan Country. Although Wan Ming dominates and everyone is struggling, in my view, the first company Wan Ming wants to crush isn’t anyone else—it’s you, Holiday!”

Her words hit the mark!

Qin Ziheng was both shocked and frightened!

How could this young girl’s insight be so sharp? How could she see through such deep-seated issues??

[Ding! Prestige +10!]

The Prestige notification confirmed she was right. Ye Yunxi curled her lips slightly and went on, “21% against 60% is like an egg striking a rock—Holiday is bound to lose. But I have a way to help you reclaim some market share from Wan Ming. President Qin, wouldn’t a partnership benefit both of us?”

Her words made Qin Ziheng incredibly tempted!

He looked at Ye Yunxi in astonishment, his heart wavering uncertainly.

This young girl was impressive. First, she pointed out Holiday’s crisis, then dangled bait—all of it factual and highly appealing!

But the problem was, wasn’t this girl under 18??

Could he really entrust Holiday Film’s more than twenty years of foundation to some young girl so casually?!

Qin Ziheng’s hesitation was once Wang Zaihao’s hesitation too!!

But Wang Zaihao saw the truth early and willingly followed Ye Yunxi!

But Qin Ziheng couldn’t do that!The Qin Family’s legacy built over so many years rests entirely on his shoulders. Even if he were the last emperor of a dynasty, he couldn’t stand by and watch this crumbling empire fall into the hands of Ye Yunxi, a minor.

Yet her words struck home with piercing accuracy, each syllable hitting its mark, making him feel as if sitting on pins and needles!

“President Qin, I believe aside from me, no one else would want to cooperate with you. With a 21% market share—if we can bring Holiday down, surely those small theaters would get their fair share of the spoils!”

To kick someone when they’re down and still profit from it—why wouldn’t we do it!
