The Benefactor Fate Had in Store

Welcome to "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network. Narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo and Lao He.

This is an equity transfer agreement in which Mao Rusong will transfer 45% of the equity in a company under his name to Wu Chen.

This is an entertainment company, but not Mao Rusong's main business Top Entertainment Company.

Top Entertainment's shareholding structure is very complex. Mao Rusong, as the actual controller, only holds 37% of the shares along with the major shareholder.

Ding Shang Entertainment also has more than a dozen other shareholders and holding institutions, all of whom are part of Mao Rusong's network. They are not only Mao Rusong's business partners, but also a part of Mao Rusong's overall influence.

The company from which Mao Rusong intends to transfer 45% of the shares to Wu Chen is called Chenghai Entertainment Company.

This company was established by Mao Rusong five years ago with his own investment, and its main business is online dramas, online variety shows, and online movies.

Over the past five years, Chenghai Entertainment has generated decent revenue, with annual profits generally exceeding 20 million yuan, thanks to the production of hit online variety shows and web dramas.

Based on the common price-to-earnings ratio of 10, Chenghai Entertainment Company's current valuation should be around 200 million.

Mao Rusong is indeed transferring 45% of his shares to Wu Chen, which is worth about 90 million yuan. However, the price for a seat in the contract is only 1 yuan, which is essentially a free gift, a symbolic gesture to get a seat.

This is absolutely not an apology for the Mao Qi, or rather, it is far more than just an apology.

Mao Rusong, who had already made arrangements yesterday, also gave Zhuang Xiaodie, whom he had spent tens of millions to cultivate, to Wu Chen. That's about enough.

Even if Mao Rusong still didn't trust him, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

Therefore, Wu Chen, who understands Mao Rusong's temperament and style, can judge that Mao Rusong's giving him shares might be an apology, but more importantly, it's about building relationships, establishing connections, and making himself one of their own.

He was able to give Wu Chen shares worth 90 million yuan, so naturally he felt that the benefits Wu Chen could bring him far exceeded 90 million yuan. Clearly, he was greatly influenced by Gu Ruibo.

Wu Chen first glanced at the contract, and then looked at it carefully again, flipping through it all.

Mr. Wu, no problem, you just need to sign, and I'll take care of the rest.

Mao Rusong looked at Wu Chen, who was flipping through the contract, and repeated himself with a smile.

He didn't explain why he offered Wu Chen 45% of the shares for 1 yuan, thinking that no explanation was needed and Wu Chen should understand.

Wu Chen understood, of course.

If Wu Chen hadn't even said anything to decline after reading the contract, it would have seemed hypocritical.

They are both sensible people, and Wu Chen is quite willing to become friends with Mao Rucong.

However, I cannot sign this contract.

Wu Chen looked up at Mao Rusong and smiled.

Mao Rusong's expression changed, thinking that Wu Chen was directly rejecting him. He understood that if Wu Chen rejected him this time, he would have no chance to develop a deeper relationship with Wu Chen in the future.

Ding Ruilong and I are mutually inferior.

Wu Chen smiled slightly.

Therefore, it's not advisable for me to own shares in your company for the time being, as this would affect you, understand?

Mao Rusong's expression immediately relaxed, and he understood perfectly.

Well, Mr. Wu is very thoughtful.

Mao Rusong laughed loudly and continued.

Mr. Wu, please arrange for someone to be your designated agent, and I will cooperate.

Let's set a time another day, then we won't have to change it again.

Wu Chen interrupted.

I'll make a phone call.

As he spoke, Wu Chen took out his phone, quickly entered an unsaved number, and dialed it. It took about five or six seconds for the other party to answer.

Hello.

It was a very clear and pleasant girl's voice.

Are you up?

Wu Chen smiled and asked you.

Yes, yes, Mr. Wu.

The other party recognized Wu Chen's voice.

It's Zhuang Xiaodi.

Yes, it's me.

Mr. Wu, I got up at noon.

Where?

I'll be waiting for you in the room.

Come out and go to the office at the very end of the corridor.

Okay, Mr. Wu.

A minute or two after hanging up the phone, Zhuang Xiaodie arrived. The bodyguard opened the door for her, and she went straight into the office.

Mr. Wu, Boss Mao, Zhuang Xiaodie walked up to the desk and greeted the two men one after the other.

Mao Rusong's expression was very strange. He looked at the signatures of the second party and told them to sign as well.

Sitting in the chair, Wu Chen raised his hand and handed the contract to Zhuang Xiaodie.

As expected, Mao Rusong confirmed that Wu Chen was indeed going to have Zhuang Xiaodie sign the contract. Whoever signed the contract would own the 45% equity stake, which was going to end up in Zhuang Xiaodie's name.

Zhuang Xiaodie only started working with Wu Chen last night. Mao Rusong doesn't know if it's because he trained Zhuang Xiaodie so well, or if Wu Chen doesn't care and isn't afraid of problems arising.

Mao Rusong clearly didn't understand Wu Chen's methods with women.

Zhuang Xiaodie flipped through the contract, her expression changing repeatedly, looking somewhat bewildered.

Zhuang Xiaodie knew about Chenghai Entertainment from the equity transfer agreement; she knew it was Mao Rusong's company.

For the past year, Mao Rusong has been secretly training Zhuang Xiaodie in shifts with professionals from his various entertainment, modeling, and media companies, perfecting everything from her speech and mannerisms to her acting skills and overall demeanor.

Zhuang Xiaodie not only knew about Chenghai Entertainment, but also gave him 45% of its shares.

Zhuang Xiaodie looked up, her eyes wide, scanning Wu Chen and Mao Rusong, still confused. What was wrong?

He only owed Mao Rusong a few million yuan, but now he's fulfilling his promise and following Wu Chen. It's only been two days, and Mao Rusong is already offering him shares worth potentially hundreds of millions of yuan. He originally wanted Mr. Wu to sign them, but Mr. Wu said, "Let me sign them."

Mao Rucong smiled and said, "That's a very tactful thing to say. Miss Zhuang, please sign it. There won't be any problems with the contract."

She then addressed Zhuang Xiaodie as Miss Zhuang.

In fact, Mao Rusong had always treated Zhuang Xiaodie with courtesy. His consideration was that the girl was originally intended to be given to Ding Runlong, and his goal was to satisfy Ding Runlong. However, if Ding Runlong was satisfied, it meant that Zhuang Xiaodie would have a good relationship with Ding Runlong. In that case, if he had done something wrong before, Zhuang Xiaodie might use Ding Runlong to take revenge on him.

Mao Rusong had considered everything very carefully, so from the beginning he treated Zhuang Xiaodie with courtesy and never pressured her. However, he had only called her Xiaodie before, not Miss Zhuang, which was a very respectful and polite way of addressing her.

Hearing Mao Rusong's words, Zhuang Xiaodi was still confused. Although he understood why, and knew that Mao Rusong had started calling him Miss Zhuang because of Wu Chen, why would Wu Chen give it to him?

He looked at Wu Chen, his face slightly flushed, and he was a little excited. Looking into Wu Chen's eyes, he felt that he had truly met his benefactor.

Mr. Wu really wanted me, Zhuang Xiaodie, to sign, but I didn't dare to, and asked him very quietly.

Sign it, it's fine.

Wu Chen turned his head and said.

If you're interested, you can try acting or training in the future.

Wu Chen smiled after speaking, seemingly casually, but in reality, he wasn't.

Zhuang Xiaodi was originally a student in the acting department of the Shadow Academy. He was also specially trained for a year by Mao Rusong, so his acting skills are truly outstanding.

So Wu Chen really does have the idea of cultivating a big star for fun. It's quite interesting. With just one project, Wu Chen can make Zhuang Xiaodie star, a national goddess.

Zhuang Xiaodi also looked at Wu Chen. His eye circles were a little red. It was the kind of emotion that comes from being excited and lamenting the changes in life. This can be said to be the most important turning point in his life.

He had always thought he would only ever be a kept man in a wealthy family, but now it seemed that not only would he not be, but he would become one of the owners of an entertainment company and even pursue his own dreams—something he never dared to dream of.

Zhuang Xiaodie looked at Wu Chen, as if she was about to cry.

Sign it!

Wu Chen smiled and said it again.

Just then, Wu Chen's phone rang. He took out his phone, glanced at it, stood up, and reminded Zhuang Xiaodie to sign the contract.

With that, he turned and walked out of the office.

To answer this call outside, you must not let anyone else hear it, because the caller is Li Maoren.

What happened that led Li Maoren to suddenly call Wu Chen?

Wu Chen took the phone and left the office. He only remembered when he reached the stairwell in the corridor. "Hello, Uncle, Wu Chen, wait for Xiao Wu."

Li Maoren greeted them, then paused for a moment before lowering his voice to ask Ding Ruilong if he had gone to the East Sea to tell them.

This was clearly not something Li Ruobing told him; it must have been Li Ruobing who told Li Ruotai, and Li Ruotai who told him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked this question; he could have just asked Li Ruobing directly.

As mentioned the night before last, during a phone call, Wu Chen asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Li Maoren asked his uncle in a slow voice, "What do you think?"

Wu Chen laughed and asked, "What do you think I'll do to you?"

Li Maoren sighed and pondered.

The two have a strangely close relationship now. Although the root cause is Li Ruobing, this relationship was actually established independently of Li Ruobing, and they are already inseparable.

After their first conversation, Li Maoren conducted preliminary investigations and confirmed that what Wu Chen said was true, and he had already begun making plans.

At that time, Li Maoren's understanding of Wu Chen had been further elevated, reaching a level that was already extremely high.

The two had a second conversation, which took place over the phone. Wu Chen told Li Maoren about another notorious scandal involving Ding Ruilong, the death of Wang Ruida.

For Li Jia, because of Dong Yuantao's matter, That Li Man had already decided to sever ties Li Jiayu and Ding Jia. They were either friends or enemies, so the only option was to attack the Ding Family. The Sun Family and the Li Family, on the other hand, were staunch allies. As long as they attacked the Ding Family, they would definitely need to coordinate their efforts and stand together.

If Wang Family were to be brought in as well, Li Maoren would naturally understand that this would not only not be a problem for Li Jia, but rather the opposite—an opportunity for the Li Family to further expand. The pie would not only be shared by the Ding Family, but also by the Wei Family. A new alliance would be formed, and everything would be orchestrated by the Li Family, with Li Jia at the core. This opportunity was orchestrated by Wu Chen, which was terrifying.

In Li Maoren's opinion, Wu Chen was the kind of person who wouldn't live long. He knew too much, and his methods of Hezong Lin Heng were too terrifying. However, Li Maoren had no intention of dealing with Wu Chen. This was naturally because Wu Chen's motive for everything he did was for his daughter, Li Ruobing. Wu Chen was his daughter's boyfriend, and if Wu Chen married Li Ruobing, he would be considered a member of the Li Family.

This kind of extraordinary, almost monstrous beauty—it's clearly one of our own, so why would we turn it away?

No matter what, Ding Ruilong cannot die in the East Sea.

Li Maoren thought for a moment and then said directly, "I know he arranged for someone to attack you a few days ago, and he almost hurt Bingbing. You're angry, but it's not the right time yet."

I've contacted the Ding Family, and they'll offer compensation. I can transfer all the compensation to you.

The compensation was for Li Ruobing, but Li Maoren wanted to give it to Wu Chen, and he did so in a completely consultative tone, a stark contrast to his attitude when he first met Wu Chen.

Uncle, why do you think I would do something impulsive and reckless?

Wu Chen asked, then smiled and said, "I've prepared a good show for Ding Jia, why would I ruin myself beforehand?"

You probably don't want to right now.

Li Maoren replied, "Ding Ruilong, he won't say anything nice to you."

Li Maoren was worried that Ding Ruilong's trip to the East Sea would provoke Wu Chen. Wu Chen might not have intended to kill him directly, but if Ding Ruilong acted recklessly, things might change.

Get vaccinated in advance?

No, Uncle, what you're thinking won't happen.

Wu Chen smiled.

There were sounds in the slow night. Although Ding Ruilong wouldn't die in the East Sea, I couldn't guarantee whether he could leave the East Sea unharmed once he arrived.

The incomplete part refers to That Li Man asking the literal meaning of the question, Wu Chen smiling, asking what you want to do?

That Li Man immediately asked again, "Is it complicated?"

Wu Chen didn't offer any further explanation.

Xiao Wu.

Li Maoren paused for a moment, then fell silent again. After a few seconds of hesitation, he finally said, "As long as you do it cleanly and he doesn't die, then it's up to you."

Of course, it will be done very cleanly.

Wu Chen laughed.

Okay, by the way, I heard from A Tai that you went to Magic City.

Li Maoren changed the subject, since there wasn't much to say. The two chatted for a few more minutes, but Wu Chen didn't say what he was doing in Magic City. That Li Man didn't ask any further questions and just made up a few more words before hanging up.

When Wu Chen returned to the office, Zhuang Xiaodie and Mao Rusong had already signed the contract.

Miss Zhuang, it's a pleasure doing business with you.

Mao Rusong smiled and reached out to close his hands.

It was a pleasure working with you.

Zhuang Xiaodie shook hands with Mao Rusong, looking somewhat unaccustomed to the situation.

I felt uncomfortable shaking hands with Mao Rusong in what seemed like a completely equal relationship.

Wu Chen approached and walked to the desk. Both of them looked at Wu Chen.

Wu Chen looked at Zhuang Xiaodie and asked with a smile, "Have you signed it?"

Uh-huh.

Zhuang Xiaodie pursed her lips and nodded, her face still slightly flushed from the emotional turmoil.

Have you had lunch?

Wu Chen asked again.

No, I didn't go out after waking up from my nap at noon.

Zhuang Xiaodie said, her eyes glistening with tears as she looked at Wu Chen.

Let's go eat.

Wu Chen tilted his head and looked at Mao Rusong, asking, "Boss Mao, shall we go together?"

Oh, no, no, you two eat, I have something to do.

Mao Rusong waved his hand and laughed, saying he didn't want to be a third wheel.

Wu Chen left with Zhuang Xiaodie. When they took the elevator downstairs, only Wu Chen and Zhuang Xiaodie were in the elevator.

Zhuang Xiaodie was holding Wu Chen's arm, kept glancing at Wu Chen, looking at Wu Chen profile, her eyes filled with affection.

Mr. Wu.

Zhuang Xiaodie suddenly spoke.

Um.

Wu Chen turned to look at him, and Zhuang Xiaodie immediately wrapped her arms around Wu Chen's neck and kissed him, as the elevator descended to the First Floor.

He released Wu Chen just before the elevator doors opened, still looking at Wu Chen with that same gaze, and softly said thank you.

Wu Chen smiled, said nothing, and went out to eat.

Then Wu Chen and Zhuang Xiaodie went to his home, which was where he had been living for the past year—a high-end one-bedroom apartment.

The house was arranged by Mao Rusong, and Zhuang Xiaodie lived there alone.

Wu Chen called Su Qingying and Wu Yurong from Zhuang Xiaodie's house to tell them he would be going back the next day. He didn't call Mu today, as he was with Su Qingying every day and was right next to Wu Chen when he talked to Su Qingying.

Afterwards, Wu Chen also spoke with He Shiqin by phone to confirm the specific departure time for tomorrow.

Before they knew it, night had fallen. Zhuang Xiaodie, who was good at cooking, personally prepared a sumptuous dinner for Wu Chen. His cooking skills were quite good. As the saying goes, if you want to win a man's heart, you must win his stomach. Zhuang Xiaodie had been learning cooking skills in the past year.

After eating and resting for a while, the two did some more exercise.

I went to the gym tonight.

At 9:30 p. m., in the bedroom, Wu Chen, her hair disheveled and as soft as a boneless Zhuang Xiaodie, rested her head on Wu Chen's head, her arm on his shoulder. The two were half-covered by a blanket. Wu Chen had his left arm around her while his right hand was scrolling through his phone.

Wu Chen decided to make one last call before taking a break. He dialed the number, put the phone to his ear, and the call connected quickly.

Hey, is Shili Ruobing working overtime again today?

Wu Chen asked with a smile.

I wasn't home today.

Li Ruobing and the other person chatted casually for a while, speaking naturally and easily, and then they talked about Wu Chen.

When are you going back?

How are things going on your end?

Has everything been taken care of?

When are you going back to the East Sea?

Li Ruobing asked.

I'll go back tomorrow, I should arrive home around noon.

Wu Chen chuckled as he spoke, then added, "I'll bring three more people back with me."

Bring people back?

Who is it?

Li Ruobing paused slightly, her tone slightly taken aback.

You'll know when you see it.

Wu Chen, however, said...

Li Ruobing sensed something was wrong; perhaps it was a woman's intuition.

She said.

The woman said to Hu Chen.

What else?

Li Ruobing asked again.

That's all.

Wu Chen laughed.

It took Li Ruobing a moment to realize what was happening, and her tone immediately changed.

Three women, all three are women. Go to Magic City and rescue them for three days, then bring all three women back.

This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
