Chapter 128: Chapter 128
Lin Fan’s identity was revealed one after another, shocking everyone in the room.
Especially the couple Xue Wenhe and Yao Bingyi, who turned pale with fear.
Lin Fan is actually the Big Boss of Tianxue Entertainment?
In the entertainment industry, there’s a saying: it’s better to offend King Yama than to offend Du Tao. Du Tao not only holds a high position but also has terrifying means.
Generally, Du Tao has a good temper and won’t get angry easily, but if you anger him, don’t expect to have a good time.
Xue Wenhe and Yao Bingyi, while significant figures in the film industry, always greeted Du Tao with bows and respect.
Imagine their shock when they found out that Lin Fan, whom they had just offended, was Du Tao’s boss.
"Mr. Lin, we’re sorry for not recognizing you. Please don’t hold it against us," Xue Wenhe quickly bowed and apologized to Lin Fan.
Yao Bingyi also bowed her head: "I’m sorry."
Lin Fan chuckled. He couldn’t stand people who judged others by appearances, who spoke arrogantly when they thought he was a nobody, only to apologize once his identity was revealed. If his identity hadn’t been revealed, do you think they would have apologized?
Lin Fan ignored the couple and said to Li Jianhua, "Chairman Li, let’s go inside and talk."
Li Jianhua quickly nodded. After learning that Lin Fan was the Big Boss of Tianxue Entertainment, he felt a deep sense of awe.
He was also more apprehensive, knowing Tianxue Entertainment once had multiple shareholders, including major companies, but Lin Fan managed to absorb Tianxue!
Such skills were indescribably formidable.
If Lin Fan truly wanted to take over Teasing Whiskers Livestream, it might just be a matter of lifting his finger.
Seeing Lin Fan and Li Jianhua entering, Xue Wenhe and his wife were also very anxious.
Lin Fan only chuckled at their apology and said nothing, so they didn’t know whether he had forgiven them or was ignoring them.
The couple quickly approached Du Tao.
"Mr. Du, we’re really very sorry. Had we known Mr. Lin was the boss of Tianxue, we would never have dared to offend him," Yao Bingyi said.
Xue Wenhe added, "Please, Mr. Du, put in a good word for us with Mr. Lin, convey our apologies."
Du Tao chuckled and said, "Alright, I understand."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Of all the people they could offend, they chose to offend the Big Boss. Isn’t that asking for trouble?
Too lazy to say more, he pulled out his phone and said calmly, "Hello, please help me check the movie Xue Wenhe and Yao Bingyi are negotiating, and inform the investors to drop them. Consider it a small lesson."
Xue Wenhe and his wife received a call from a movie project group. Originally, they were set to be the lead actors, but now a decision had been made to change the leading roles.
The couple was nearly in tears.
No need to ask, this must be the consequence of offending Lin Fan!
In an instant, the couple regretted it deeply and probably won’t dare to look down on anyone ever again.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan and Li Jianhua entered the charity event site.
By now, the room was already filled with many people, all from the upper class: the wealthy, socialites, and actresses, holding champagne and chatting in groups. Coming to this charity gala, charity was secondary; networking was primary.
Waiters strolled among the guests with champagne.
Li Jianhua took two glasses of champagne and handed them to Lin Fan and Anna.
Li Jianhua was amazed by Anna’s aura.
"Mr. Lin, may I ask if this lady is your girlfriend or your wife?" Li Jianhua asked with a smile.
Anna rolled her eyes: "Don’t talk nonsense!"
Li Jianhua was startled, wow, this woman’s aura was too strong to handle.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Chairman Li, don’t misunderstand, she’s my housekeeper."
Li Jianhua broke into a cold sweat. Such a beautiful woman was merely Mr. Lin’s housekeeper.
"I’m sorry," Li Jianhua said, wiping his cold sweat.
Lin Fan said, "Chairman Li, let’s get straight to the point. Why did you invite me?"
This Li Jianhua seemed eager for a face-to-face conversation.
Li Jianhua hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to begin.
Lin Fan said, "Chairman Li, feel free to speak your mind."
Li Jianhua gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, Mr. Lin, you’ve acquired 30% of Teasing Whiskers’ shares, making you the second-largest shareholder. What are your plans?"
Lin Fan gave an "oh": "Plans, which aspect are you referring to, Chairman Li?"
Li Jianhua said, "I mean, do you have plans to further acquire Teasing Whiskers?"
Lin Fan understood what Li Jianhua meant. It seemed Li Jianhua was worried that he might further buy shares of Teasing Whiskers and strip him of the largest shareholder title.
Li Jianhua was truly overthinking. "Teasing Whiskers’ shares were system rewards. As for how the system did it, he didn’t know, so even if he wanted to continue acquiring Teasing Whiskers, it was likely not feasible.
Of course, these were not things he would discuss with Li Jianhua.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Rest assured, Chairman Li, I have no such plans. I invested in Teasing Whiskers because I see its potential and want to make money. I won’t touch the company’s operations; that’s entirely up to Chairman Li. I’m just waiting for my dividends."
Hearing this, Li Jianhua let out a long breath of relief, feeling as if a massive weight had been lifted from his heart.
With Lin Fan’s capacity, Lin Fan wouldn’t deceive him; if Lin Fan said he wouldn’t continue acquiring Teasing Whiskers, then he wouldn’t.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin," Li Jianhua said joyfully, sincerely grateful to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan said, "Is this the only matter Chairman Li wanted to discuss with me?"
Li Jianhua replied, "Yes. By the way, Mr. Lin, do you plan to to the charity gala tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan recalled overhearing something in the restroom and, after some thought, said, "I’m not donating."
Li Jianhua broke a sweat, finding Mr. Lin’s directness a bit overwhelming.
Lin Fan said, "I advise Chairman Li not to either, and as for why, you’ll know soon enough."
Li Jianhua was a bit curious, wondering what Lin Fan meant by that.
By this time, most of the guests had arrived, and the charity gala began.
The host took the stage, tapped on a glass to quiet everyone, and said, "Thank you all for attending. Our charity gala is officially starting. First, let’s welcome the organizer of this gala, Mr. He Dahong, to speak."
A middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked onto the stage, overweight and with slicked-back hair, looking slightly greasy.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I believe most of you here know me; I am He Dahong. I sincerely appreciate the support of new and old friends tonight. All the proceeds from tonight’s charity donations will be given to those in need in the mountainous areas. I hope everyone s generously."
The crowd applauded again.
In the crowd, Lin Fan coldly watched this He Dahong. He Dahong’s voice was the same voice he heard in the restroom!
