Chapter 998 How dare you call yourself Mr. Bao?
With the help of the short film, Xiao Qianxi successfully won the championship in the top three competition in the Tianfu Division and got the opportunity to directly compete for the national championship, while the second and third places will need to participate in the next round of extra competition.
Lin Jingyan tried her best but only got fourth place and was eliminated. Naturally, Xiao Qianxi was blamed for this.
However, Xiao Qianxi had no time to deal with her at this time. What was placed in front of her was a contract with Tianyu.
What can I say about this contract? It is a complete slave contract, the kind that wants to squeeze the person's marrow dry and sell him. Qin Hao simply turned the contract over and covered it on the desk in the conference room.
"Is this what you call sincerity?"
In the conference room, Tianyu Entertainment's artist director looked embarrassed. She didn't expect Qin Hao to come with Xiao Qianxi to discuss the contract.
"Well...regarding the contract, all players' contracts are the same."
The artist director tried to play the emotional card and said to Xiao Qianxi: "Ms. Xiao, you are famous today because of our program team's hard work, and we will devote more resources to you in the future."
"You have to think about our company too. If you change jobs after you become famous, wouldn't all our initial investment be wasted?"
Before Xiao Qianxi could respond, Qin Hao interrupted her: "What you call pouring resources into is just a platform like Happy Girls. Moreover, the contestants and the program complement each other. The contestants have played a vital role in making Happy Girls so popular today."
"If you insist on not modifying the contract, then I'm sorry, at worst we will just withdraw from the competition."
The Artist Director looked at Xiao Qianxi with a very unpleasant expression.
"What he means is what I mean." Xiao Qianxi said seriously.
"Okay, I'll go report to the leader first. Please wait a moment."
About half an hour later, a vice president of Tianyu came to the office and was about to exchange a few words with Qin Hao. Qin Hao looked at his watch and said impatiently: "I have been waiting for you for half an hour. My time is precious. Don't waste time anymore. Let's get started."
Vice President Tianyu retracted his outstretched right hand in dismay: "Ahem, okay, let's get straight to the point."
Ten minutes later, Qin Hao raised his hand again to interrupt the other party's chattering.
"Okay, since you have no sincerity, let's stop here and go."
"No, Mr. Qin, if you have anything to discuss, we can discuss it..."
Qin Hao left with Xiao Qianxi without even looking back.
On the way back, Qin Hao said angrily: "These entertainment companies really treat people as slaves. What a shitty contract, it's just a contract to sell one's body."
"How about this, if you really want to sing, I will invest in you to open an entertainment company and you can be your own boss, how about that?"
Xiao Qianxi nodded with a smile: "Well, I'll listen to you."
"But will I still participate in the upcoming national finals?"
To put it bluntly, the show "Happy Girls" is a program used by Mango TV to create stars. After entering the finals, all contestants basically have to sign a contract with Tianyu. If they do not sign, they will inevitably be eliminated.
What's the use of SMS voting or popularity? The one who finally counts the votes is Mango TV. They can make whoever they want win.
Moreover, Qin Hao doubted whether Mango TV had the ability to count tens of millions of text message votes at this time.
"The key still depends on you, but since you haven't signed a contract with Tianyu, you will definitely not get any good ranking, and you may be used to boost the popularity of other contestants. Mango TV will not miss such a good opportunity to create a star."
Xiao Qianxi thought for a moment and said, "I should still go and participate. It can also be regarded as an explanation to my fans. The ranking is not important."
"Okay, as long as you're happy."
Just as Qin Hao expected, in the subsequent national top ten competition, Xiao Qianxi "narrowly lost" on the road to the top eight to six. Fortunately, Mango TV was concerned about the number of Xiao Qianxi's fans and did not make things too ugly, so Xiao Qianxi was not eliminated in the top ten.
Of course, Xiao Qianxi’s fans were definitely still indignant for her and at one point they flooded Mango TV’s phone lines with calls.
However, for Xiao Qianxi, the ranking in the competition was no longer important. Under Qin Hao's arrangement, Qianxi Entertainment Company was established, and they began to prepare a new song for her in full swing.
Just when Qin Hao had built the framework of Qianxi Entertainment Company and was about to return to Beijing, he suddenly received a call from Qin Chuan.
"Lao Qin, can you lend me some money?"
Qin Hao was a little confused: "Isn't the pancake shop doing well? Do you still need to borrow money from me?"
"The pancake shop is doing well, but I've used all the cash to open a branch, and I have to pay the suppliers for last quarter. I really don't have that much money. Lao Qin, can you lend it to me for a month and I'll pay you back next month?"
"How much do you want?"
"One million is okay?"
"Hey, I thought it was a certain amount, can it be transferred directly to your company account?"
Qin Chuan said quickly after hearing this: "No need, I will send you my sister's account number later, you can transfer it to her directly. She actually borrowed the money from me, and I really don't have the money here, so I shamelessly came to you. Thank you, Lao Qin."
Qin Hao's mind was moved: "Why does your sister suddenly want such a large sum of money? Could it be that she was cheated?"
"It's not that they were cheated, it's that they were defrauded. Before, they were in partnership with a local tyrant named Cao Xiang in Shanghai. As a result, this guy owed money, so he sold the shares of the store that my sister had in partnership with him. Now they are being chased for debts. If they don't give him the one million, they can't run the store." Qin Chuan said depressedly.
"Okay, I got it. Send me your sister's phone number and I'll contact her directly. I also need to go to the Shanghai branch."
"Thank you so much. I'll treat you to barbecue when Lao Qin returns to Beijing."
Magic City, Yiguo branch.
Qin Qian and Tan Hui came to the CEO's office under the guidance of the front desk.
"Boss Qin, long time no see. Thank you so much this time."
Qin Hao did not respond, but asked with a smile: "What would you like to drink?"
"coffee."
"Mineral water will do."
After the receptionist left, Qin Hao said seriously, "I checked this Xiaobao you mentioned. This guy is famous for his revenge. The last time you beat him up, I'm afraid it wasn't just one million that could settle the matter."
Qin Qian and Tan Hui exchanged a glance and said, "Not really, is it? People are out there trying to make money. Would he give up the million just to vent his anger?"
"Perhaps, he wants even one million dollars to vent his anger."
Tan Hui frowned: "But Cao Xiang said he could act as a middleman and apologize and let it go."
"Have you forgotten how you were cheated by Cao Xiang? If this bastard was telling the truth, would you owe him this one million? Even if Cao Xiang didn't want to cheat you, if he could control Xiaobao, he wouldn't have been forced to not show up before." Qin Hao was speechless. These two claimed to be gangsters, but with such low IQ, they still helped others count money after being cheated.
Tan Hui wanted to say something, but Qin Qian stopped him: "I think what Mr. Qin said makes sense. We should be on guard against others. We still have to be careful."
"But didn't we all promise Cao Xiang to meet Xiao Bao tomorrow? If he doesn't go, our business won't be able to continue."
Qin Hao thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll send someone to go with you guys tomorrow. If that Xiaobao is smart enough to take the money and sign the equity transfer agreement, then that's fine. But if he wants to cause trouble, then teach him a lesson."
Qin Qian and Tan Hui looked at each other and said a little embarrassedly: "Boss Qin, you see, this matter has caused you to spend money and effort, and we don't know how to repay you."
"No need to be so polite. I'm not just targeting you. It's mainly because of this little Bao. How dare he call himself Mr. Bao?"
For Qin Hao, there can only be one Mr. Bao in Shanghai, and that is Abao.
After Tan Hui left Qin Hao's office, he asked Qin Qian suspiciously, "What did Mr. Qin mean by what he said just now? I don't understand."
"Hey, they just found a random excuse to help us, why are you still making a fuss about it? Anyway, we owe them this favor. If they need us in the future, we will repay them even if we have to sell everything we have." Qin Qian gave Tan Hui a cold look.
Tan Hui scratched his head: "Of course, I am the kind of person who doesn't repay a favor."
The next day, Qin Qian and Tan Hui came to the abandoned factory where they had made an appointment with Cao Xiang. After looking at the surrounding environment, Qin Qian frowned and said, "Something is wrong. We made an appointment in a place like this. Could that Xiao Bao really be planning to hack us?"
Tan Hui also frowned, and at this moment, Cao Xiang came up to him.
"Brother, why are you still standing there? Come in. Mr. Bao has been waiting for you for a long time."
Qin Qian looked at Cao Xiang suspiciously: "Why did you choose a place like this? Are you teaming up with Xiaobao to cheat us?"
"How is that possible? What is our relationship? How could I possibly cheat you..." The smile on Cao Xiang's face froze.
"Humph, haven't you cheated us enough?" Qin Qian said unhappily.
Cao Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "My dear sister, if I hadn't been desperate, I would not be willing to mortgage the shares of your store. This is not right. I apologize to you..."
Seeing this, Tan Hui tugged at Qin Qian's sleeve and said, "That's enough. We'll still need his connections in the future."
"Okay, then you go in first, I'll wait for Lao Qin here."
Tan Hui was about to leave, but Qin Qian was still a little worried and whispered, "If you feel something is wrong, run."
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid."
Not long after Tan Hui entered, two business cars turned into the alley.
"Mr. Qin..."
As soon as Qin Hao got off the car and saw that Tan Hui was not there, he realized something was wrong and interrupted directly: "Where is Tan Hui?"
"I just went in with Cao Xiang..."
Qin Hao was speechless. These two guys really had problems with their brains. They dared to go to the meeting alone. They really thought they thought they were Guan Yu.
"gather!"
"set off!"
Yiguo’s security guards were all veterans. They followed Qin Hao into the abandoned factory with batons in their hands.
At the same time, after giving the money to Xiaobao and signing the agreement, Tan Hui was about to leave, and Xiaobao immediately showed his true colors.
"Fuck him to death!"
Tan Hui was so angry that he yelled, "Cao Xiang, you fucking tricked me."
Cao Xiang was about to persuade him, but Xiao Bao pointed at his nose and said viciously: "It's none of your business, get out of here, or I'll take care of you too."
Seeing that Xiaobao was serious, Cao Xiang could only run away in shame.
Tan Hui could only fight and retreat as he was chased by a dozen strong men armed with weapons.
Just as he was about to run to the factory gate, he was hit on the head with a stick. Blood immediately gushed out and his vision was dyed red.
"Beat him to death. If he dies, it's my fault."
Xiaobao laughed out loud.
However, at this moment, the factory gate was opened and a group of men in uniform holding batons rushed in.
"Except for the one lying on the ground, knock everyone else down!"
Following Qin Hao's order, the security guards rushed down the mountain like a tiger and pounced on Xiaobao's men.
Xiaobao's men usually bully ordinary people and are good at street fights, but when they face the security team composed of veterans, they are quickly beaten back.
Xiao Bao panicked for a moment and shouted at Qin Hao: "Who are you to meddle in my business?"
"Do you know who my uncle is? Get out of here if you know what's best for you."
Qin Hao sneered: "I don't know who your uncle is, but today I have to let you know that there can only be one Bao Zong in Shanghai, and a little bastard like you is not worthy of him."
As they were talking, the security had already knocked down all of Xiao Bao's men. A few smart ones saw that something was not right and lay down on their own initiative.
Several security guards surrounded Xiaobao, and then resolutely carried out Qin Hao's order, hitting him with a baton, and Xiaobao screamed in pain.
Tan Hui also calmed down at this time. He rushed over, grabbed Xiaobao by the collar, and punched him several times, leaving Xiaobao with a bruised face.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I give up." Xiao Bao begged for mercy pitifully with black eyes.
At this time, Qin Qian also came up and kicked Xiaobao hard. Then she hurriedly checked on Tan Hui's condition. Seeing that he only had some superficial injuries, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where's Cao Xiang?"
Tan Hui wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and cursed: "That grandson ran out of the back door."
"Don't let me meet this bastard again, or I'll show you how I'm going to deal with him." Qin Qian cursed.
After venting her anger, Qin Qian came to Qin Hao and said, "Old Qin, thank you very much for this. What should we do now?"
"If you don't remove the roots, the grass will grow again in the spring breeze..."
Before Qin Hao could finish his words, Xiao Bao was so scared that he peed himself and kowtowed repeatedly: "Sir, please don't kill me. I will give you any amount of money you want..."
Qin Hao patted Xiao Bao on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I won't do anything illegal."
Just when Xiao Bao felt relieved, he heard Qin Hao slowly say, "I remember your uncle works in a government department, right? His position is not low, but if you want to see your uncle again in the future, I'm afraid you can only go to prison."
Not long after Xiao Bao returned home anxiously, he heard a call from his aunt saying that his uncle had really been taken away. Xiao Bao's eyes suddenly went dark.
Three days later, Xiaobao was also taken away by the police.
From then on, no one in Shanghai dared to call himself "Mr. Bao".
