Chapter 606: 600, Advanced Emetic Water Reappears in the World_1

Who could scold Jiang Wensheng over the phone as if he were a grandchild? Ren He didn’t know the identity of the caller, nor did he have any interest in finding out.

Behind every successful person, there’s often a large interest group; in fact, Ren He had long speculated that Jiang Wensheng’s success in the entertainment industry was no exception.

But no matter who was backing the other party, they could definitely not be of a higher level than Sir Yang, because the chains of interests tied to Jiang Wensheng were just too flimsy to restrain a behemoth.

After scolding Jiang Wensheng, the person on the other end of the line hung up, leaving him alone, looking at Ren He with a face that switched between clouds and sunshine.

Ren He sat across from him with calm aplomb, "Are we still talking about acquisition now?"

Jiang Wensheng took a deep breath; he wasn’t a fool and understood he had probably hit a snag, "This is all a misunderstanding..."

"You invited me over so late just to say ’misunderstanding’?" Ren He said cheerfully. The other party had put on quite a show, trying to intimidate him and even planning to exchange shares of Qinghe Film and Television—a single word ’misunderstanding’ wouldn’t be enough to settle this.

"Then what do you want?" At this point, Jiang Wensheng was already panicking. He didn’t know Ren He’s exact identity but was aware he couldn’t afford to offend him further, and he still owed him an apology. However, he had no clue how this young man wanted to resolve the matter.

"How many shares do you hold in Hua Ge?" Ren He asked out of curiosity.

"67%," Jiang Wensheng had a bad feeling.

Ren He took out his phone and opened Qinghe Search. Hua Ge Media was a Hong Kong-listed company, with a market value of 1.27 billion RMB as of that day’s market close. Theoretically, 67% would be around 850 million, although the price of equity cannot be calculated like that in a real transaction.

"Sell all your shares in Hua Ge to Qinghe. Take 5 billion and retire. This price isn’t too outrageous. Of course, you can choose to fight me to the end," Ren He raised his eyebrows, "but I don’t think you can afford to fight me."

Jiang Wensheng’s face turned utterly grim. How could he not hurt from a slash that cut off a chunk of his worth in billions? Moreover, his control over the entertainment industry was largely manifested through the company Hua Ge Media. If all of Hua Ge’s shares were taken away, it would be almost no different from him leaving the entertainment industry. The interest groups behind him would abandon him immediately.

At that time, Jiang Wensheng would be nothing more than a wealthy old man. Replace him with a commoner who is asked if they would want 500 million in cash without any power—they would undoubtedly take it. But Jiang Wensheng was different; he had tasted the pleasures that come with power, and letting it go was out of the question.

He just couldn’t understand why the interest groups behind him could only behave as meekly as quails when it came to facing the Yang Family.

"Not selling, please leave," Jiang Wensheng said with a dark face as he showed his guest out.

Ren He laughed. He suddenly looked at Jiang Wensheng seriously and said, "I can read faces, believe it or not?"

"Read faces?" Jiang Wensheng was stunned. What was this talk of face reading all about? Was it like the tricksters on the streets who threaten with predictions of disasters? What a joke; Jiang Wensheng didn’t dare lay a hand on Ren He under the ’heavens,’ so how could Ren He dare to do the same? Order was supreme; Jiang Wensheng didn’t believe Ren He could do anything to him.

"I see darkness over your eyebrows, recently... cough, cough, it seems like your digestive system isn’t doing too well," Ren He said, almost bursting into laughter himself.

What the hell was the digestive system about! Jiang Wensheng was completely confused by Ren He’s intentions. Was all the face reading just to discuss this? What did his digestive system have to do with Ren He?

While Jiang Wensheng was momentarily lost, Ren He has already stood up and walked towards the door, saying to the driver from earlier, "Take me back."

The driver was immediately afflicted with a dilemma, to deliver or not to deliver? If he did, what if Elder Jiang got upset, and if not, the other person was someone even Jiang Wensheng couldn’t afford to offend—what the hell...

Jiang Wensheng waved his hand at the driver, signaling him to go ahead and give the guest a ride. After all, it wasn’t proper to let someone hail a cab after an event like this.

In the end, Jiang Wensheng was someone who lived within certain circles. Although he was ruthless in his dealings, he never dared to overstep the bounds. Ren He, however, was different—he had no intention of entering any circles, nor did he plan to dominate any fields. For him, living freely and delightfully in this life was more important than anything else.

Just as Ren He stepped out of the villa’s front gate, Jiang Wensheng suddenly felt as if his intestines were being strangled by something, and then... it moved upwards...

Urgh! A stream of yellow, unidentifiable matter spewed out of Jiang Wensheng’s mouth, and it was relentless!

A nauseating stench permeated the entire villa; immediately, two bodyguards began to vomit...

Then, others started vomiting...

What did that person say again...? Oh, right, they said Jiang Wensheng had digestive issues... Is this what you call a ’little issue’? This is seriously bad, okay? Who else vomits feces when they have ’digestive problems’?

At this moment, everyone was completely baffled, with no clue how to deal with the situation. Jiang Wensheng was there, vomiting feces for quite a while, and nobody went to help him. After all, they were just working for Jiang Wensheng, not as close as family, and everyone was afraid of getting smeared with feces!

Jiang Wensheng felt that his life had taken a turn down a secluded detour after the other party mentioned his poor digestive system...

Who am I, where am I, and why am I vomiting feces...

Probably these are the three serious questions considered by anyone who’s had the privilege of experiencing Emetic Water.

However, that very evening, after Jiang Wensheng rejected the sale of Hua Ge Media shares, an influx of negative news about Hua Ge Media flooded the internet overnight.

The past indiscretions of certain shady artists under Hua Ge were brought to light—scuffles, publicity stunts, affairs, drug use. Such events weren’t uncommon in the entertainment industry; it’s just that they were either well-managed or well-hidden.

But over the course of that night, it seemed as though every single one of Hua Ge Media’s shady artists had their dirty laundry aired online.

These materials were actually readily available. Among the 49 mainstream media companies that Qinghe had shares in, the reporters known as the ’King Without Crown’ often had some dirt in their hands; they just hadn’t published it because they accepted red envelopes before.

Now, since Qinghe Search aimed to set the tone for Hua Ge Media, of course, it would bring these findings out to share with the major shareholders. It was a perfectly normal thing to do.

At first, everyone just felt that these artists were incredibly wild—with just four words, "What a messy circle!" Then, gradually, less than two hours after the celebrity scandals broke, the timing for brewing public opinion was ripe, and the tide of public sentiment completely turned against the image of Hua Ge Media as a company.

It was only after returning home that Ren He felt that giving someone like Jiang Wensheng five hundred million was already too much. Since he didn’t want to sell, then there was no need to sell.

The next day, as the stock market opened, Hua Ge Media’s stock price began to plummet...
