Chapter 66 Are you too many domineering CEO dramas and can't get out of character?
"come in."
Dixi pushed open the door and led Li Xi into the conference hall.
"Mr. Wan, Mr. Qin, please introduce us."
Dixi turned to the side, revealing Li Xi behind her. When introducing her identity, her tone was filled with pride: "This is Yun Ge, the creator of our comic book 'Seven Days of Nightmare'."
After saying that, Dixi winked slyly at President Wan and teased, "How about it, isn't our Yun Ge very young?"
More than just young!
And she's beautiful!
For a moment, Mr. Wan was completely mesmerized.
The arrogant superstar Qin Xiu's gaze clearly became interesting when he saw Yun Ge's true face.
"Li Xi?" Qin Xiu's tone was somewhat uncertain.
Qin Xiu returned to the Xie family quite often, but he didn't have many opportunities to see Li Xi, so the two weren't very familiar with each other.
But when they meet, they always address each other as brother and sister.
Qin Xiu also attended Jiang Qingkong and Xie Xingyun's engagement party last time.
But before the engagement banquet even started that day, Xie Xingyun and Li Xi were taken away by Officer Zhou, so Qin Xiu didn't even get to see them.
Thinking back, the last time Qin Xiu saw Li Xi was on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
He carried gifts to the Xie family to offer New Year's greetings, and Li Xi didn't come downstairs until it was time for dinner.
She was dressed casually at home, wearing glasses, and dressed very simply back then, far less glamorous than she is today.
Therefore, upon suddenly seeing Li Xi in a different city, Qin Xiu couldn't help but wonder if he had mistaken her for someone else.
When Qin Xiu blurted out Li Xi's name, President Wan couldn't hide his surprise. He asked Qin Xiu, "Mr. Qin, do you know Yun Ge?"
Dixi exclaimed, "Yun Ge's real name is Li Xi."
Li Xi then stepped forward, walked up to Qin Xiu, and called out in a sweet and soft voice, "Brother Qin Xiu."
Hearing that familiar, soft voice calling him "Brother Qin Xiu," Qin Xiu finally dared to believe that the famous cartoonist Yun Ge was indeed the quiet and unassuming adopted daughter of the Xie family.
"Li Xi." Qin Xiu couldn't hide his surprise. He said, "You're really a master of keeping a low profile, quietly accomplishing great things."
As he spoke, Qin Xiu put his hands on Li Xi's shoulders and let out a light laugh. Without thinking, he said, "We're all family, so today's cooperation is easy to discuss."
Li Xi was gentle and easy to talk to; even Wang Ma in the Xie family could bully her and cause a scene.
Even so, she remained very polite to the Xie family.
Qin Xiu believed that with his personal involvement today, acquiring the film and television rights to "Seven Days of Nightmare" would be a piece of cake!
Upon seeing that Qin Xiu and Li Xi knew each other, President Wan was all smiles.
He asked Li Xi in surprise, "Yun Ge, you and Mr. Qin are actually relatives?"
Li Xi summarized their relationship in one sentence: "I am the adopted daughter of the Xie family, and Brother Qin Xiu is my adopted son who was raised with the support of my adoptive father, Xie Mingzong."
Qin Xiu's smile was somewhat stiff.
Qin Xiu never publicly revealed his true relationship with the Xie family, leading outsiders to believe that he had a mysterious background and must be a wealthy young master from some family.
He was only related to the Xie family.
Li Xi's words shattered Qin Xiu's persona of a mysterious rich young master.
Sure enough, after learning about this relationship, President Wan's gaze towards Qin Xiu became less respectful.
People are naturally wary of strangers they don't know. But once they know the other person's background, that sense of pressure from the unknown diminishes, and their attitude naturally becomes more normal.
"Hehe, that's great." Mr. Wan chuckled and said, "After all the fuss, we're all one family."
Qin Xiu also put aside his displeasure and said to Li Xi, "Li Xi, I heard from President Wan that you were unwilling to sell the film and television rights of 'Seven Days of Nightmare' to Zhaixing?"
Mr. Wan spoke first, saying, "I was wondering why Yun Ge wouldn't cooperate with Zhaixing. Now I think it's because Yun Ge doesn't want to rely on her adoptive parents' money?"
“Our Yun Ge has grown up now and wants to be independent, right?”
Upon hearing this, Li Xi simply smiled, but her eyes remained cold.
Dixi has been dealing with Mr. Wan for many years. As his subordinate, she is very good at understanding his thoughts by observing his subtle reactions.
Over time, Dipsy also developed the ability to read people's expressions and moods.
She keenly sensed that Li Xi was not in a good mood.
Qin Xiu also agreed with what President Wan said.
"Li Xi, if you really think that way, then you're being too naive." Qin Xiu unbuttoned his suit jacket, sat down on the sofa, and subconsciously crossed his long legs.
That confident and self-assured demeanor made Li Xi want to vomit.
Qin Xiu raised his chin to look at Li Xi, and pointed to the sofa next to him, "Li Xi, sit down and talk."
Li Xi walked over and sat down gracefully.
Qin Xiu gave his assistant a look.
The assistant opened his briefcase and handed Qin Xiu the contract that had been prepared beforehand.
Qin Xiu placed the documents on the coffee table in front of Li Xi and asked casually, "Li Xi, do you think we should sign the contract right here, or wait until both sides' representatives arrive before formally signing it?"
Li Xi didn't say anything; she picked up the contract and casually flipped through it.
Mr. Wan smiled broadly.
Dixie's expression was unreadable.
Qin Xiu also looked confident.
Snapped!
Li Xi tossed the contract on the table, tilted her head, and looked at Qin Xiu as if he were an idiot. She asked casually, "Mr. Qin, have you been acting in too many domineering CEO dramas and become so obsessed with the domineering CEO persona that you think everyone should obey your orders and cooperate with you?"
"..."
Qin Xiu's face twitched wildly as he suppressed his anger and asked Li Xi, "What do you mean?"
"It means..." Li Xi picked up the documents on the table and tore them in half, then into quarters, like tearing apart a Japanese soldier...
Li Xi threw the shattered document at Qin Xiu's head and said firmly, "I would rather sell 'Seven Days of Nightmare' to a beggar on the street than sell it to Zhaixing Entertainment."
The shredded documents fell onto Qin Xiu's face and then onto his lap. He stiffly lowered his eyes, staring at the shredded papers on his thigh, feeling a sense of bewilderment and helplessness.
Where is he?
What is he here for?
Mr. Wan and Dixi looked at each other, both stunned by Li Xi's move.
At that moment, President Wan quietly retracted his thought that Li Xi was easy to manipulate.
Li Xi crossed her legs like Qin Xiu, leaned back on the sofa, and said with a disdainful look, "Don't tell me you're just a nobody from the Xie family, just a small shareholder in Zhaixing Entertainment."
"Even if Xie Xingyun, the CEO of Zhaixing, were sitting in front of me, I would not sell the copyright of my work to Zhaixing Entertainment."
"Because I despise your Star Entertainment and the Xie family's money!"
"Letting you film my work is an insult to my character."
Qin Xiu regained his senses, his anger blazing, and he threatened Li Xi through gritted teeth: "Li Xi! You think you're all grown up now!"
"You think you, an adopted daughter who left the Xie family, can really turn the world upside down with just a lousy comic book?"
"Believe it or not! If we just spill some dirt on you, ruin your reputation, and accuse you of plagiarism, your lousy comic won't even get adapted into a movie or TV series, and your readers will curse you to death!"
"You will be boycotted by the entire internet!"
