Chu Zhiyuan sighed and said, "Mengxue, actually my dad's business has had some problems recently. It's hard to do business both offline and online now. After all, the economy is down and consumption is sluggish. It's not easy to do anything. Our family's money is basically in the company. It's not easy to take out 50 million at once. Do those people really want you to pay so much money? Do you want dad to hire a lawyer to sue them and see if the compensation is reasonable."

"Yes, if it is reasonable compensation, we will pay it. If it is unreasonable and exorbitant, we will definitely not pay it." Ye Jiawen said.

Chu Mengxue said, "Mom, according to the contract, it is reasonable. Those film and television companies have very powerful legal departments, and there is nothing wrong with the contracts they drafted. The mistake was that I shouldn't have signed such a contract. I was young and ignorant at the time, and I signed it carelessly! If you want to sue them, you won't win, because they already have a precedent!"

"Besides, if I file a lawsuit for 50 million, it will be known to everyone and will cause a big uproar in the city. Then people will laugh at me just like they laughed at that actress. By then, I will become a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to beat. I will be despised and looked down upon by everyone. I will not be able to survive at all!"

"So mom and dad, I beg you, can you help me pay back the money? I don't want to be on the news, I don't want to be a deadbeat, I don't want to be scolded by others."

By the end of her speech, Chu Mengxue had already started crying sadly.

Seeing this, Ye Jiawen hurried forward and hugged her, "Mengxue, don't worry, we will find a way to help you, okay?"

"But it costs 50 million. How can you help me? This is not a small amount of money." Chu Mengxue said crying.

Ye Jiawen looked at Chu Zhiyuan, who had a dark face, and said, "Zhiyuan, although our Chu family is also ranked in Haicheng, the current funds in the company's account are only a few hundred million. Meng Xue is going to pay 50 million to them all at once. What do you think we should do now?"

When Chu Mengxue heard this, she was surprised. "Mom, isn't our family property worth tens of billions? Why is it only a few hundred million?"

"Silly boy, working capital is different from fixed assets. Companies that can come up with hundreds of millions of working capital at once are already very powerful! Do you really think that hundreds of millions of working capital is not enough?" Ye Jiawen said helplessly.

"Ah? Then what should I do? If I don't pay the money, they will sue me, and I don't want to lose face." Chu Mengxue said crying.

Seeing his daughter crying, Ye Jiawen's heart broke.

She said hurriedly, "How about Zhiyuan, let's help Mengxue and transfer 50 million from the company account to compensate Mengxue first."

Chu Zhiyuan immediately said, "No, the money in the company account cannot be moved. It needs to be kept for emergencies."

"What should I do? I only have this one daughter, and I don't want her to go to jail. If there is no other choice, I'll use my own pocket money!" Ye Jiawen still had a lot of his own pocket money, which he could use to help Chu Mengxue.

When Chu Zhiyuan heard this, his heart ached suddenly.

Pity the parents of the world.

Jiawen is so good to Mengxue, but Mengxue is not her biological daughter.

He didn't want Jiawen to pay so much, only to have Lin Yuejiao benefit from it later.

He hurriedly said, "No need, Jiawen, you can keep your own private money. I will help her pay for this!"

"Really? Dad, thank you for helping me. You are so good to me. You are really a good dad to me." Chu Mengxue hugged Chu Zhiyuan excitedly when she heard this.

She knew that everyone in the Chu family loved her, and as long as she asked, they would help her no matter what.

They will cover her up.

With these 50 million, she can shoot a lot of short dramas and then sell them to the big boss at a high price and make a lot of money.

In order to make the incident seem more realistic, Chu Mengxue paid someone online to make some fake legal documents. She then took these fake legal documents to Chu Zhiyuan, saying that they were documents from the film and television company asking her for debt repayment.

Some fake amounts were made up here, and the total price is about 50 million.

Chu Zhiyuan always felt that there was something wrong with this matter and could not make up his mind to give Chu Mengxue money.

As a result, Chu Mengxue cried and begged in front of him, pretending to be pitiful, and she even spent 200,000 yuan to bribe her agent to lie with her and confirm that she was being asked to pay back the debt.

After receiving a call from his agent Sister Chen, Chu Zhiyuan transferred 50 million to Chu Mengxue.

So in just a few days, Chu Mengxue cheated another 50 million from the Chu family.

She was very excited when she saw the money enter her bank card.

She can finally do something big and bold!

Before, she only had five million to invest, so she could only invest in low-cost short dramas. Moreover, because the investment was too small, she had little say in the crew, and the actors and directors often did not listen to her.

Now that she has taken out 50 million at once, those actors and directors immediately start to curry favor with her.

Now, she became the biggest female sponsor of the crew, and everyone started to curry favor with her, hoping to get some benefits from her.

After having money, Chu Mengxue waved her hands and filmed more than a dozen high-quality short dramas in succession.

The shooting time for short dramas is very short, and several can be shot in a month.

So two months later, she had finished filming all her short plays.

She quickly asked Sister Chen to contact the mysterious boss and sell all the short plays to him.

What she was thinking was that if a movie sold for 10 million, she could make more than 100 million.

In just two months, she used more than 50 million and turned it into more than 100 million. This is a large profit!

This is a sure-fire investment.

So Sister Chen quickly went to contact the big boss behind the scenes, but suddenly she couldn't get in touch with him.

After Sister Chen found that she couldn’t contact anyone, she quickly called Chu Mengxue.

As soon as the call was connected, Chu Mengxue thought something good was going to happen, and she was very happy. "Sister Chen, what's wrong? You're still contacting me so late, is there something good?"

Sister Chen's nervous voice came from the other end of the phone, "Oh no, Mengxue, I can't contact that mysterious boss anymore! He deleted my WeChat and blocked my phone number, what should I do?"

"What? Haven't you seen that person?" Chu Mengxue said in surprise.

Sister Chen nodded quickly, "Yes! I really haven't seen him. I only have his WeChat and mobile number. But when I called his mobile number just now, it showed that it was turned off and I couldn't get through at all. Tell me, are we being scammed?"

"Being cheated? How is that possible? Is there anyone who would lie like that? Besides, didn't he pay you a deposit of two million before? No one would lie like that, right?" Chu Mengxue said.

"That deposit...he asked me to return it."

"What? This is a deposit, why would you return it to him?" Chu Mengxue raised her eyebrows, looking shocked.

Sister Chen said, "It's like this. He told me last night that the money he transferred to me before was from his private account, which was illegal. In that case, I didn't pay taxes, which was not regular. He asked me to transfer it back and re-account it from his company to me, so that it would be legal and compliant. He said that he would buy the copyright of the short play from us in the name of the company, and everything would be done through the company's account. Everyone would file taxes properly, so it wouldn't be illegal. I thought it was the same, so I transferred the money to him."

"Then he said that the company's finance department had already left work in the evening, and asked the finance department to call me again in the next two days. I trusted him very much, so I didn't think much about it and directly transferred the money back to him. As a result, today, his finance department didn't transfer the money to me at all. When I went to chat with him again, I suddenly found that he had deleted me."

"Sister Chen, what do you mean? This person is a liar? He deceived me into investing in so many short plays, but he didn't buy them? What is he thinking?" Chu Mengxue frowned.

Sister Chen said, "I don't know either. He clearly said he was your fan and wanted to support you, but he suddenly disappeared."

"By the way, what's his name and where is his company located? I know nothing about these things, do you know?" Chu Mengxue then remembered that she had been focusing on filming short dramas before and had never thought about verifying this person's identity.
