154 Fleeing in Defeat
Bai Yurou excitedly saved the file repeatedly. Not only did she save a copy locally, but she also uploaded the original file of ‘Here Comes My Idol’ to her cloud drive. After everything was done last night, she finally went to sleep with satisfaction.
The next day, Bai Weiguang followed his mother’s request and asked Maid Qi to bring his handwritten letter and the pair of jade bracelets to the nursing home. Who knew that when he arrived at the sanatorium, he would find out that Su Qiumeng had been discharged from the hospital yesterday. This way, the Bai family had completely lost track of Su Yuan and Su Qiumeng, and the whole family was extremely anxious.
Fu Xinlian had been scolded by Bai Yurou yesterday and was feeling down. She had just woken up when she received news from Maid Qi that Su Qiumeng had disappeared from the sanatorium. When she heard this news, Fu Xinlian’s mood became better. Her daughter did not lie to her. She really could deal with Su Qiumeng. Fu Xinlian pretended to be depressed as she thought of an idea with Bai Weiguang.
Suddenly, Bai Yurou walked up to Zhang Huilan and said, “Grandma, calm down. Sister has never been on the same side as the Bai family. Even dad can’t figure out where she went, which means she doesn’t want us to find her. Qiumeng’s illness wasn’t light, and 6 million definitely wasn’t enough. Even so, she still wasn’t willing to have any dealings with the Bai family. She might have already hooked up with a rich man and was living a good life.”
Bai Weiguang had sent out all the bodyguards of the Bai family to investigate Su Qiumeng’s whereabouts, but they had found nothing. It was as if Su Qiumeng had vanished into thin air.
Su Qiumeng and Su Yuan’s sudden disappearance had ruined all of Zhang Huilan’s plans. Her face was livid, and she sat in the corner of the sofa with her eyes closed, not saying a word.
“Grandma, forget it. I’m still in the Bai family! I will make the Bai family famous. The Bai family doesn’t have to have Su Yuan, they still have me, Bai Yurou!”
Bai Yurou’s words were neither too fast nor too slow, and they were very powerful.
Bai Weiguang could not help but take a few more glances at her.
Zhang Huilan opened her eyes, but she still lowered them. “Yurou, grandma didn’t forget about you, but your sister…”
Bai Yurou interrupted Zhang Huilan, “Grandma, give me a chance. I will definitely do better than sister!”
“What do you want to do?” Zhang Huilan looked at her, puzzled.
Bai Yurou smiled.
He smiled and turned to look at Bai Weiguang, “Dad, I’ve written a proposal and I need your support. If this plan is successful, not only the entire City A, perhaps the whole of China will know who I am, Bai Yurou. They’ll also know that there’s a wealthy family in City A with the surname Bai!”
The Bai family did not have an entertainment company, but some of the logic in the proposal was logical. Even if Bai Weiguang had not seen tens of thousands of proposals, he had seen thousands of them. Whether the proposal was good or bad, he could tell just by looking at the small part at the front. The more he looked at her, the more excited he became. The way he looked at his daughter was different. “Yurou, did you really write this yourself?”
“Dad,” Bai Yurou pouted unhappily, “if I didn’t write it, who else could it be? I stayed up all night until the wee hours of the morning to finish writing.”
“That was right. Yurou has been preparing for days. This child didn’t tell us what she was going to do. She just finished everything on her own.” Fu Xinlian echoed.
Bai Weiguang looked at Bai Yurou with a gratified expression.
Zhang Huilan didn’t know much about the entertainment industry, but she trusted her son’s judgment. “Weiguang, what do you think of this proposal?”
“It’s very good and feasible, but it has its flaws,” said Bai Weiguang.
“What weakness?” Zhang Huilan and Fu Xinlian asked at the same time.
Bai Weiguang replied, “The production cost.”
“I’ve made a rough estimate. If we want to achieve the same effect as Yurou’s proposal, we’ll need at least this amount.” Bai Weiguang opened his palm and made a 5.
Zhang Huilan was stunned. Fu Xinlian quickly asked, “50 million?”
“500 million,” Bai Weiguang replied.
Fu Xinlian fell silent.
Bai Yurou was also shocked by the figure. When she was revising the proposal yesterday, she had not even considered the cost of production. If her father said that she needed 500 million, it must be a conservative estimate. It would only be more and not less. Where could she get 500 million from?
Zhang Huilan did not continue listening. Instead, she went back to her room with the help of a servant. Her attitude was clear. She did not think highly of this proposal. In the business world, there were risks no matter how stable a business was, let alone a 500 million plan. The Bai family definitely could not take this risk.
Bai Weiguang was even stingier than Zhang Huilan. He closed his laptop and pushed it in front of his daughter. “Yurou, this proposal still has a lot of unreasonable points. I think you should take it back and make some changes. Maybe it will be realized in a few years.” Then, without waiting for Bai Yurou to reply, he left.
From Bai Yurou’s point of view, her father had just run away!
