After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Chapter 217 Seeking Skin from a Tiger

An Ling sighed and said, "No need. Tell Miss Jiawei that I can handle this myself."

The PR manager glanced at An Ling and said with a smile, "Okay, Editor-in-Chief An, please call me anytime if you need anything."

"Thank you, I will." An Ling nodded in response.

After watching the PR manager leave, An Ling picked up her phone and began to think about how to get out of her current predicament. As the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, public opinion is very important to her, and it is the foundation of her foothold in this circle.

At this time, Mr. Wang and Yu Manqi had been busy in the lounge in the office for an entire afternoon. Mr. Wang had just let Yu Manqi leave and was planning to lie down and rest for a while to recover his strength as he had a drinking party in the evening.

But just as he lay down, his cell phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, he raised his lips, answered the phone and said with a smile: "Editor-in-Chief An, why are you contacting me now? Have you made up your mind?"

An Ling asked: "Boss Wang, do you have time to come out and chat now?"

Mr. Wang smiled and said, "Editor-in-Chief An, it's not very convenient for us to go out together now. After all, there is a lot of attention on our two companies online."

An Ling also laughed: "Boss Wang, you know, I didn't do this. It's not good for you to implicate innocent people like this, right?"

Mr. Wang asked, "What does Editor-in-Chief An mean?"

An Ling said bluntly: "What can I mean? I am just an employee in 'Meishang' now. I just want to ask Mr. Xiao Wang, if I agree to what you mentioned last time, how much can I get?"

Mr. Wang chuckled, "Editor-in-Chief An really knows how to handle the current situation. After the matter is settled, I will give you 25% of the shares, and I will not interfere with the operation of 'Meishang'. You know, I have abundant resources at hand. As long as we make some efforts, I can make you a godmother-level figure in the fashion circle."

An Ling took a deep breath. She was not moved by Mr. Wang's promise, but she realized that if she continued like this, she would be kicked out of "Meishang" sooner or later. So she decided to give it a try: "Okay, I agree. I just hope Mr. Wang won't burn his bridges after crossing them!"

Mr. Wang assured: "Don't worry, I am the one who attaches the most importance to the agreement."

An Ling was still a little uneasy: "Boss Wang, are you sure you want to secretly acquire 'Meishang'? Li Jiawei is Li Ronghua's daughter, aren't you afraid?"

Mr. Wang laughed, "Afraid? Li's and Universal Pictures are not in the same field, what should I be afraid of? Besides, Li Jiawei is his daughter? Has he told the outside world about it? No! Li Jiawei was just someone I met halfway through, how much affection can she have with the Li family?

What's more, Li Ronghua has never acknowledged her publicly. Everyone recognizes that there is only one Li Xuanbao, the princess of the Li family. I have never heard that Li Jiawei has another daughter. When I get 'Meishang', I will go to the door to apologize. By then, it will be just like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. Besides, what I did was a legitimate business behavior. His daughter is unable to keep the company. Can I be blamed for this?"

An Ling said, "Boss Wang, what about me? If I offend the Li Group, are you sure I can still gain a foothold in the fashion industry?"

Mr. Wang was full of confidence: "I am here, what are you afraid of? Are you worried that I can't protect you?"

An Ling said, "Boss Wang, verbal promises are too empty. I always have concerns in my heart. If you have concerns in your heart, your actions will naturally be affected."

Mr. Wang said directly: "I don't like beating around the bush. What do you want first?"

An Ling said, "Boss Wang, I don't need 25% of Mei Shang's shares. I only want 5%. I want to exchange the other 20% for 5% of Universal Pictures' shares."

Mr. Wang said in a slightly cold tone: "You are very greedy."

An Ling said: "Mr. Wang, you have to understand me. I have no power or influence, I just want some protection. You may not be afraid of Li's revenge, but I am."

Mr. Wang sighed, "If it weren't for the fame of 'Meishang', I really wouldn't want it."

An Ling said, "Boss Wang, you know the value of 'Meishang'. It is only one step away from being a top magazine. It will only take one or two years to make up for this gap. You won't lose out."

Mr. Wang laughed out loud: "Okay, I promise you."

An Ling said: "Boss Wang, words are not enough."

Mr. Wang said, "Don't worry, I will have someone bring the contract to you. I hope you won't let me down."

After hanging up the phone, An Ling took a deep breath. She knew she was courting disaster, but if she didn't try, how could she know she wouldn't succeed? At worst, she could emigrate abroad after doing all this. By then, she would own 13% of the shares of "Meishang" and 5% of the shares of Universal Pictures. The annual dividend income would be several hundred million. She would have no worries about food and drink for the rest of her life. Who wouldn't envy her?

Li Jiawei didn't wait for An Ling to come to see her until she got off work, and she was inevitably disappointed. In fact, she admired An Ling's work ability, but some people were destined not to be together.

Li Jiawei drove back to the apartment and just as she parked the car in the parking space in the underground garage, her cell phone rang at the right time. She picked up the phone and saw Xiao Yi's name flashing on the screen. She couldn't help but raise a gentle smile and answered the call: "Hi, Xiao Yi, I'll be home soon."

Xiao Yi was a little nervous at first, but when he heard Li Jiawei's relaxed and cheerful tone, he knew that she didn't know about the storm on the Internet yet, so he said, "Jiawei, where are you? How about I pick you up?"

Li Jiawei smiled and refused: "No, I'm already at the underground parking lot and will be home soon."

Xiao Yi responded gently: "Then I'll wait for you to come back."

Li Jiawei's heart was filled with sweetness, and she softly replied, "Okay." Then she hung up the phone, with a happy light in her eyes. She picked up her handbag, got out of the car, locked the door, and walked into the elevator.

The elevator door slowly opened, and Xiao Yi suddenly appeared in front of the door. He suddenly pulled Li Jiawei over and hugged her tightly. Li Jiawei felt Xiao Yi's body trembling slightly, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Xiao Yi, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Yi slowly let go of Li Jiawei and looked into her eyes lovingly: "Jiawei, do you believe me?"

Li Jiawei smiled and stroked Xiao Yi's face, her eyes firm: "Of course I believe you, tell me quickly, what happened?"

Xiao Yi took Li Jiawei's hand, walked into the house, took out his phone and handed it to her. Li Jiawei took the phone in confusion, looked down, and saw that the screen was a hot search about Xiao Yi, or more accurately, a hot search that had "exploded".

She clicked on the first message, and what caught her eye was a photo of Xiao Yi embracing a woman with a blurred face, with an eye-catching title: "Top male celebrity surnamed Xiao is suspected to be in love, meeting a beautiful woman in a hotel late at night"!
