874 Are You Thinking of Borrowing Money From Me?

Muttering under his breath, Tony pulled a face and returned to Li Chenxing’s room.

“Why did you go out happily but come back with a sour face?” Li Chenxing asked.

“Don’t mention it!” Tony said.

“Wu Wenshu didn’t deal with that person at all. He even agreed to let him continue participating in the program!”

“What’s going on? Didn’t he take our money? Can’t he even do such a small thing for us?”

“As you know, that person is an internet celebrity and has some fans online. Someone as cunning as Wu Wenshu might have thought it through and became afraid that he would cause trouble online when he returned, so he didn’t deal with this matter properly.”

“It really wasn’t a coincidence that he could become the station head.”

“That’s for sure. These people are really experienced in the ways of the world,” Tony said with a straight face.

“If we didn’t have to continue working with them in the future, I would have to have a good talk with him today,”

“There’s no need to do that. Calm down,” Li Chenxing said.

“He’s not the one who offended us. It’s useless to tell him this. Even if we scold him, we will still have to deal with that Lin Yi.”

“Hmm? From what you’re saying, it sounds like you have a plan.”

Li Chenxing shifted his position and looked at Tony.

“There are so many people on the ship. Can we find some people to secretly teach him a lesson? Just to make sure he learns his place.” Li Chenxing said.

“Because of the previous live stream, several international sponsors started to doubt my influence. Otherwise, we would have long sealed those contracts.”

“Don’t mention that. It makes me angry,” Tony said.

“After this show, I still have to try my best to negotiate with them. If not for that, it would have been done long ago!”

“That’s why I want to teach him a lesson, as his actions could potentially harm our interests and cause problems for us in the future.”

“Alright, get ready now. I’ll go out and take a look and see if anyone is willing to accept this bit of business.”

“Yes, it doesn’t matter if you give them more money.”

“Don’t worry, I have experience in this.”

…

In the room, after Wu Wenshu left, Lin Yi called Ji Qingyan.

There was nothing substantial about what they discussed. They were all meaningless topics.

However, the two of them chatted happily for more than an hour before splitting up.

Stretching lazily, Lin Yi walked out of the room.

It was already late. There were not many people on the deck, as most of them had returned to their rooms.

After all, they were not traveling. They might reach the island at any time, so they had to make preparations in advance.

Walking to the stern of the ship, he held onto the railing and enjoyed the sea breeze. He felt much more relaxed.

“Mr. Lin? Have you been disqualified?”

Lin Yi turned around and was surprised to see that the person who spoke was the female celebrity he had met in the conference room.

However, she had changed her outfit. She was wearing jeans and a black jacket while her long hair was tied up, making her look clean and athletic.

“No, I’m okay.”

“Um, I want to ask, have you found a teammate?” The female celebrity said politely.

“Wait,” Lin Yi said, “Can you introduce yourself before you talk to me?”

“Huh?” The female celebrity was stunned. “Don’t you know me?”

“Do I have to know you?”

“I’m sorry, but let me introduce myself. My name is Zhao Yinian. Last year, I acted in a movie called Dragon City. I was the third female lead, playing the role of the biologist.”

“Ah…”

“Now you remember.”

“No.” Lin Yi shook his head, “I’ve never seen that movie.”

Zhao Yinian, “…”

If you haven’t seen it before, why were you still pretending to be enlightened?!

“It’s fine. If you haven’t seen it, so be it. I’m not famous anyway. This is expected.” Zhao Yinian was kind and didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

“So are you here to make a name for yourself?”

“It’s impossible to become famous nowadays. I just want to increase my exposure. It’s too difficult to survive in the entertainment industry now. If I don’t work hard, there won’t be any work left for me in the future.”

“That’s true.” Lin Yi casually agreed.

“Those three people are quite strong. It shouldn’t be a problem for them to take care of you for a week.”

“But we didn’t come to an agreement in the end.” Zhao Yinian pursed his lips and said.

“You didn’t sign the deal? Didn’t the three of them agree?”

“My manager went back and reported a price to the company. They said that 600,000 yuan was a little too much. The company did not agree, and those three people did not agree to lower their price. They even ridiculed me for being a woman and were unwilling to bring me along. They were afraid that I would hamper them, so…”

Lin Yi understood.

What was discussed in the meeting room was that they would get 600,000 yuan for protecting the celebrities for a week.

After a week, they would be able to split up.

...

However, if these guys brought a woman with them, they would be greatly slowed, and it might even affect their final placement.

If their final placements were not good, it would also affect their winnings.

Based on this, it was reasonable to reject this person called Zhao Yinian.

“Aren’t you a celebrity? It shouldn’t be a problem for them to fork out 600,000 yuan.”

“There’s a problem with that assumption.” Zhao Yinian said.

“It took me a long time to convince the company to let me come here. If it’s around 100,000 yuan, they can consider it. However, 600,000 yuan is too much.”

“Your company is too shady. They can’t even bear to fork out this bit of money?”

“There are too many actresses nowadays, so there’s a lot of competition. Unless they’re very popular, the company won’t give them a lot of money.”

“Then you can pay for it yourself. What’s the big deal?”

“If I really had that much money, I wouldn’t have come looking for you.” Zhao Yinian pursed her lips and said, as if she had suffered a lot.

“Don’t tell me you want to borrow money from me?”

...

Lin Yi felt that this female celebrity was a little pitiful. She didn’t even have 600,000 yuan. She wasn’t even as well-off as Zhang Xiaoyu.

“No, no, no. Don’t misunderstand.” Zhao Yinian said, “I just wanted to ask you if you found a suitable person to form a team with.”

“I have two team members. We’ll set off together when we’re ready to land on the island.”

“Are those two powerful? Can they protect you?”

“Huh?” Lin Yi paused, “Why would I need someone else to protect me?”

“But didn’t you come with us to the meeting room?” Zhao Yinian asked. “Weren’t you looking for help?”

“Wait, you seem to have misunderstood,” Lin Yi said.

“Although I also went to the conference room, I’m different from you. I was in the same boat as those three people. I wasn’t looking to spend money to get help.”

“Huh? You were the one who was offering help?” Zhao Yinian was very surprised. “Weren’t you Director Yan’s connection? And you’re a streamer…”

“Can’t she have such an impressive connection?” Lin Yi said.

“Besides, what’s wrong with being a streamer? Don’t discriminate.”

“It’s mainly because you’re a little good-looking. You don’t look like the fierce man I imagined.”

“What does your impression of a fierce man look like? Shall I take off my pants for you to see?”
