Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Blossoming of Love, More to Come (Third Update)
“Maybe because… I like you.”

As her words fell.

Yin Qin’s snoring sound was heard.

Yin Qin rarely snores usually.

He must be too tired.

It’s said that she only snores when she’s exhausted.

She lets go of her hands.

Her fingers were a bit soft.

She moved her wrist, flipping Yin Qin from his prone position, letting him sleep properly.

Whenever Yin Qin had a good sleep, he would habitually reach out for Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang quickly lay down.

Yin Qin hugged Luo Xiaolang and fell into a deeper sleep.

But, Luo Xiaolang had some insomnia.

Lately, she didn’t know why, but her heart seemed strange whenever she saw Yin Qin, there was some indescribable affection.

Maybe that was love.

The next day.

Yin Qin’s alarm rang at 6 o’clock.

He turned it off, stretched out in bed, jumped out from the blanket, afraid that he would oversleep.

He got out of bed to wash up.

Lou Xiaolang opened her eyes for a moment, it was still winter, although the weather had started to warm up, the daytime was short, being drowsy, she glanced outside, it wasn’t even dawn, and Yin Qin was already up?!

She closed her eyes, drowsily and fell back to sleep.

Yin Qin washed his face with cold water.

It was so cold that he shivered and quickly turned on the hot water.

Looking at his sleepy face in the mirror, he rubbed it hard, almost distorting his handsome face.

He took a deep breath, washed up and went out.

He quietly changed clothes before leaving.

Just as he was about to leave, he swerved back, leaned over the bed to look at Luo Xiaolang, softly imprinted a kiss on her lips, and quickly left.

His heart was still beating fast.

Luo Xiaolang just felt a figure approaching and then disappearing quickly!

She thought it was an illusion and didn’t think much about it.

When Yin Qin arrived at the Milky Way, it was not yet 7 o’clock.

The secretary yawned, looking stunned when she saw Yin Qin.

She arrived early because Yin Qin wanted her to be there by 7. The secretary, abiding by her principle, arrived half an hour earlier than the requested time. Just as she was about to put down her bag in the office, President Yin was also standing right in front of her!

This was truly shocking.

Super shocking indeed.

“Secretary Wu, did you dislocate your jaw?” Yin Qin joked.

Wu Meili quickly closed her mouth.

Her jaw almost dislocated indeed.

“Black coffee.”

“Yes.” Secretary Wu put down her bag and replied respectfully.

Yin Qin went into his office, turned on the computer, and worked on the budget plan from last night.

The plan was quite complete, but he was concerned that some areas might have been overlooked, so he came early to review it again, to see if anything needed to be added. After all, one’s thoughts in the evening and in the morning could be different, and he might get some unexpected insights.

Wu Meili went in and out, making coffee for him and tidying up the office, then carefully left.

For some reason, she was scared of disturbing him inadvertently.

He looked so focused.

And he was so handsome when he was focused.

So, it’s better to not disturb this beautiful picture.

At nine in the morning.

Yin Qin picked up the phone, “Notify the board meeting, at ten o’clock in the morning, those who don’t show up will be deemed as waiver. The content of the meeting, is to increase the annual cost budget of the Milky Way, approximately 100 million.”

“Yes.” Wu Meili responded quickly.

Director Yin is so decisive.

He just took office yesterday and made an important decision during a press conference.

Now, he’s having a meeting to increase the budget by 100 million.

Anyone’s heart would not be able to take it!

She sent out the message.

Wei Cheng sat in his office with an expression that said ‘I knew it’. He said to his trusted aide, “See, I told you, Yin Qin just needs money.”

“Director, you really are knowledgeable.”

“I understand Yin Qin too well, he can’t solve any problem without money.”

“So, what should we do now? Shall we let him host the board meeting?”

“Let him host.” Wei Cheng smirked maliciously, “This way, I don’t have to make a move, naturally, some people will oppose his request.”

“Okay, I understand now!”

Wei Cheng leisurely pulled out a cigarette and started smoking.

He thought that he didn’t need to do anything recently, just watch Yin Qin mess up by himself.

At ten in the morning.

All the directors were present.

Yin Qin didn’t like to beat around the bush. He said straightforwardly, “I need to increase the budget by 50 million.”

“Ridiculous!” Zhang Qiang mocked, “You said you want to increase and it increases. What do you regard our hard-earned money as? You want to squander it just like that?!”

“Let me explain my plan to all the directors.”

“No!” He Quan was the first to respond, “No matter what reasons you have, we will not increase the budget. At the beginning of the year, we already set the annual budget. Every single dime is properly allocated, and there’s no need for additional spending. We will never increase it!”

“So for you guys, the project that could have generated profits for the Milky Way is no longer needed, just because you already designed the entire budget for this year?! It seems like you all can predict the future, able to see everything that will happen this year!”

“Don’t come here talking nonsense. Our budgets are prepared every year like this, and every time they are accurate with almost no errors! This is the result of experience! What makes you, a greenhorn, think you can be questioning us here! Besides, we have twenty million in contingency funding. This is all we are planning for unexpected expenses this year! There’s no way I’m going to agree to increase it further by another fifty million!”

“Did I say that what you guys know is worthless?” Yin Qin’s face darkened.

“Even if you did, it would be worthless,” Zhang Qiang echoed He Quan completely.

Both of them are Weng Cheng’s bootlickers.

“It’s already grace enough for you to be in charge of the ‘Hall of Heaven’! Don’t push your luck! You’re still under our mercy because we respect your father. Don’t give us a reason to show our real colors!”

“I need to fund the ‘Hall of Heaven’ production team, and pay the penalty for breaching the ‘Hall of Heaven’ contract, which amounts to roughly 100 million. I have information that investing 100 million can generate a pure return of 200 million, with a profit margin of fifty percent.”

“You really think we’ll believe you! You believe that the low-budget television drama ‘Hall of Heaven’ can generate a pure profit of 200 million?! Yin Qin, you clearly don’t know that the production company of ‘Hall of Heaven’ is on the verge of bankruptcy. You talk about financing them now?! I didn’t know you were a messiah, going after the rich for the poor!”

“Just because the success or failure of ‘Hall of Heaven’ will determine the fate of Brilliant Films and Television, I plan to invest in them. They dare not mess around! I’ve read the script, and I believe that with our marketing, achieving high ratings won’t be difficult! Here is a part of my budget plan and some other benefits the Milky Way could receive from this project. Besides the financial profit, this also serves as a key to forge a path into the television industry. If we succeed this time, I believe many film and television companies will actively seek cooperation with us in the future…”

“I’m not interested to hear.” He Quan cut him off, “I don’t believe we can venture into film and television industry right now. We are already involved in many fields, and if we use our energy on other things, it’s like digging a hole for ourselves. When our funds come short, who will help us out?! In summary, I disagree! I will not agree to adding another 100 million in cost, not even a cent!”

“Neither do I.” Zhang Qiang quickly responded, “I oppose.”

“I oppose too.”

Everyone in the meeting room is raising their hands to object.

Even without counting, he alone couldn’t win over everyone else.

Yin Bin coldly looked at Yin Qin, full of contempt.

He was curious to see how long Yin Qin could persist.

This rich young master should have been taught a lesson long ago!

“Well, now that everyone opposes the idea of increasing the budget, can we end the meeting, Mr. Chairman?” Zhang Qiang sarcastically asked.

“Yes, we can wrap it up. But before that, I have something to let you all know.”

“Everyone is busy, speak quickly!” He Quan seemed quite impatient.

Yin Qin said, “If I don’t use a dime of the Milky Way’s money, can I do what I want to do!”

Everyone in the room looked at each other, and then turned their attention to Weng Cheng.

Weng Cheng looked at Yin Qin, his eyebrow raised, “So you’re paying?”

“Don’t I still have a lot of shares? I can easily sell a few shares and make a few hundred million. I can invest that in myself. Profits go back to the Milky Way. Will that work?”

As soon as he finished speaking-

The room erupted into laughter.

Everyone laughed at Yin Qin’s ignorance and stupidity.

Weng Cheng gestured with his hand-

And the room fell silent.

“Since Chairman Yin is so confident that he can bring benefits to the Milky Way, we will definitely give him complete support. As long as you don’t spend a dime of the Milky Way’s money, you’re free to do as you please!” Weng Cheng was thrilled with the idea of Yin Qin selling his shares and quickly agreed.

He’s already in control of the Milky Way, he just lacked more shares.

Just in case a board member decided to betray him later, he needed to secure his position.

Only by holding the right to decide in one’s own hands can one truly win!

“So, as long as I finance it, I have the right to ask all employees of the Milky Way to comply with this project!” Yin Qin emphasized each word, “Weng, Director, you mean this, right?”

“Yes.”

“Thank you for granting me this right. As the board members are all here, I hope you can be my witness. The money for the ‘Hall of Heaven’ project comes from me, and all the profits go to the Milky Way. I will be fully responsible for all affairs related to the project. No board members, including Director Weng who manages the work, can question it or even try to stop it halfway!”

The other directors looked at Weng Cheng.

Weng Cheng nodded his head.

Only then did the directors respond, “Fine, we will be your witness today.”

The others also responded in agreement.

“This meeting has surveillance. I have already instructed my secretary to save this part of the meeting video earlier. If you guys change your minds later, I will definitely expose it! At that time, you, respected board members, might end up with a bad reputation for bullying us ‘younger generation’!”

“Yin Qin, you’re a real schemer!” Zhang Qiang snapped.

“Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Zhang. It’s all lessons learned from experience.”

Zhang Qiang was rendered speechless.

Weng Cheng stood up from his seat, “Yin Qin, don’t get too full of yourself here. You better do as you said!”

Yin Qin shrugged, “Of course.”

Weng Cheng gave Yin Qin a deadly stare, then walked out of the room.

The others followed suit one by one.

As Yin Qin watched their retreating figures, he smirked.

While the plan he had prepared all day and night did not come to use, he had anticipated this. Despite knowing this, he still made the proposal. He believed in being prepared well in advance, and that opportunities always come to those who are prepared. Without trying, he wouldn’t know if he would fail, even if it was a waste, it was worth it.

And his ultimate goal today was simply to gain full control over the ‘Hall of Heaven’ project.

Weng Cheng returned to his office with his loyal following.

A follower said, “I heard Yin Qin was quite pushy at the board meeting.”

“He’s just a child playing house.”

The follower looked at Weng Cheng.

Weng Cheng said, “Yin Qin wants to stir things up, right? Let’s pour some oil on the fire.”

“What are your orders, Director?”

“Notify all the sponsors of the ‘Hall of Heaven’ program. Using the unanticipated suspension of the program as a reason, completely withdraw funding and demand compensation from the Milky Way.”

“Won’t that cause losses to our Milky Way?!”

“No. We’ll just blame it on Yin Qin!”

The follower appeared to be surprised.

“Don’t worry, Yin Qin will catch it!”

Weng Cheng smirked.

You have a lot of shares, right?

Let’s see how many shares you can sell!

Yin Qin, this profligate, overestimates himself if he thinks he can pull off half a year.

At most three months, he’ll be out within three months!
