My Hubby Can’t Stop Pampering Me - Chapter 663

Chapter 663: Chapter 665 Relationships (4)

“Yu Sixing, can you…”

“No.” He cut her off before she could even finish her sentence, anticipating her words and decisively rejecting. Xue Feifei was visibly distressed: “Just say how much I owe you, can’t I repay it?”

“I’m a magnanimous man. For this supporting female role, there are people in the entertainment industry who want to buy it using money and connections. You signed with me to be my artist, and this movie is also my investment. Wanting a female actress was just a side task. I am your boss now, and it’s only right for a boss to make a profit for his employees, so I won’t count this sum with you. However, the profits conceded by Boss Yan before were real contributions. It’s not much, just 50 million. You pay that sum, and we can consider ourselves even.”

50 million! Xue Feifei’s eyes widened in shock.

“50 million is just the initial investment. If the movie loses money, we bear the loss. If it makes a profit, we won’t earn more beyond the break-even point. It could be a few hundred million or even a billion. How can you compensate for this? You can’t possibly think that our past encounters can just write off the debt?”

Xue Feifei was left speechless at his words.

“Furthermore, you don’t want to acknowledge our relationship, and I’ve agreed to that. You were not feeling well yesterday, and I did not force you. When you were being bullied by the crew, I was the one who stepped in.” Yu Sixing listed out one incident after another, continuing, “Besides, you should be very clear that talent alone means nothing. No matter how good your acting is, what if Xiang Yirou pressures the agency to cut all of your scenes?”

Upon hearing this, Xue Feifei’s resentment subsided a little. There was a real case where a leading actress had all of her scenes cut due to the influence of a more powerful supporting actress, and she didn’t even appear in the final film. A bizarre precedent had been set.

While Xiang Yirou might not go so far as to cut all of her scenes, she would undoubtedly exert some pressure and stir up trouble on the set, such as isolating her from the rest of the cast, or making the makeup and prop masters delay preparing her items.

These were all intangible, demoralizing acts one can’t substantiate with evidence but they could very well target her.

In society, there are certain things which are impossible to explain. If it wasn’t for Yu Sixing stepping in, she might have been bullied till the final cut was released. With her current standing, how could she compete with Xiang Yirou? Neither Director Zhao nor Huang Mi would aid her in this. Even if Lu Weixi is willing to help, he would have to go through Qin Zhiyou. Her relationship with Qin Zhiyou was hard to define, and she couldn’t keep bothering her.

She could say that she did appreciate everything Yu Sixing had done for her, however, she honestly did not harbor any feelings for him. Additionally, Huang Qichu was still his brother-in-law, and she just couldn’t do it.

“Okay. I don’t like to force others either.” Seeing her reaction, Yu Sixing quickly softened his tone, “In that case, take a good rest and continue shooting tomorrow. I won’t disturb you anymore. But since we’re not together anymore, we need to settle this debt. Rest assured, I’ll only require the 50 million. The rest, including interest, I won’t bother you about. I won’t demand you pay it off all at once either. Starting next month, you can pay 1 million each month. After 50 months, once it’s all repaid, you’re free to leave.”
