Chapter 434 - 199: Are You Worthy to Talk About Rules with Me?
"Mr. Gu, now that there’s no one else here, just say it directly, what exactly do you want?"
With the team from Wuyou Media having left the office to make calls, Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment before he spoke slowly to Gu Heng with a hint of resignation...
The words sounded forceful, but the undertone of helplessness couldn’t be concealed...
He was well aware of his own capabilities, what business did he have trying to play games with Gu Heng? Discover hidden stories at novelhall.Côm
Gu Heng’s openly known assets were already thousands of times his own, the power dynamic was entirely unequal.
Everything Gu Heng had said earlier was a blatant humiliation of him, and as someone who’s been a small-time boss for so long, he had lived rather comfortably. Being humiliated like this, of course, he’d get angry...
But what use was there in getting angry?
Even if he wanted to go down fighting, he didn’t have the capacity to do so.
In a confrontation with the current Gu Heng, the fish would definitely die, and the net would surely remain unbroken.
Gu Heng had blatantly informed him of the plan he was preparing to execute, clearly not caring in the slightest about any countermeasures Zhang Yang might have, a complete crushing of power...
At this point, what could he do besides bow down to Gu Heng?
Listening to Zhang Yang, Gu Heng let out a light chuckle, "Want something? Director Zhang, you must be mistaken, what could I possibly want? Your company, worth a few million, might be a treasure to you, but to me, it’s just plain junk. What could there possibly be that I want?"
Zhang Yang: "..."
But you’re the most disgusting kind of prostitute, wanting to be a whore and still expecting to be revered as a saint."
The more Gu Heng spoke, the uglier Zhang Yang’s face got...
Everyone actually understood what Gu Heng was saying, but bringing it up publicly would be a total face-off, sheer insult...
Zhang Yang really wanted to stand up for himself, but he couldn’t muster it. The buyout of seven million didn’t matter to Gu Heng, but it did to him. To thoroughly rip off the mask and verbally spar with Gu Heng would be satisfying, but he couldn’t bear the consequences...
With this in mind, Zhang Yang took a deep breath, "Mr. Gu, with you saying all this, I don’t have anything to rebut, since the facts are as they are. I admit it’s unfair to Lin Jiayun and Xiao Lan, but surely I shouldn’t have to lose millions just for this so-called fairness?
If I had such a noble spirit, I’d be a saint, and I wouldn’t be here being labeled a hypocritical whore by you.
Besides, this is an industry norm, the way everyone operates. Mr. Gu, do you think you can really fight for this fairness?"
Gu Heng’s smile remained as he replied, "Of course, I can’t deal with it, nor do I intend to. There are so many oppressed people in this world, I don’t have the time, energy, or interest to fight injustices on behalf of others.
But Lin Jiayun is my girlfriend, Xiao Lan is my friend, I should take care of them, shouldn’t I?"
At this point, Zhang Yang no longer wished to discuss these matters with Gu Heng and said directly, "So, Mr. Gu, what do you want? Just speak plainly. We don’t have a life-and-death feud, and I believe I’m just a minor character in your eyes, not worth your effort to spend twenty or thirty million to mess with.
Just state your demands. As long as I can do it, I’ll comply.
If you want Lin Jiayun and Xiao Lan to terminate their contracts, that’s fine, but surely you can’t be serious about not giving me a single dime, right?"
Listening to Zhang Yang’s words, Gu Heng slightly nodded his head. No wonder the man could be a boss on his own, while he could only swagger around with the help of a system, Zhang Yang’s capability was genuinely decent.
