Chapter 1177: poaching.

Shi cai ning and gu kuangen looked at each other. this shi yuqiang was really too much!

“after that, no publishing house dared to publish my book anymore, so i could only think of a way to translate it into a foreign edition and submit it to a foreign publishing house,” said yang tian. then, he looked at lan jie with a faint smile. “of course, what i’m most grateful for is that during my most difficult time, xiao jie did not despise me. instead, she stood firmly by my side and accompanied me through this difficult time!”

Lan jie gave a gentle smile. “his first book was published and he received a large sum of money. it was enough for us to live for several years. we were very happy and went to register for marriage. from then on, lao yang’s books were published overseas. even the chinese version was sold to foreign publishers.”

“shi yuqiang is indeed excessive. isn’t he from a special background?” shi cai ning frowned and asked softly.

Yang tian nodded. “gu tai, you’re right to ask. there is naturally a reason why shi yuqiang is so arrogant. his mother is the sister of the president of country j, and country j is a world power. why isn’t he arrogant?”

Shi cai ning’s heart sank. so that was the case!

Shi yuqiang relied on country j’s relationship. after all, his mother was the daughter of the president of country j, and the relationship between country j and country z was pretty good. no matter what they did, people would give him face.

In addition, the shi family originally had some background. although their power had been greatly reduced, they were still a large family in the past. in all aspects, they still had an advantage over other ordinary entrepreneurs.

“shi yuqiang is so arrogant. it turns out that he has such a good tree behind him.” gu kuangen laughed disdainfully. in all these years, the shi family’s performance was not comparable to the gu family except for imperial entertainment’s slightly better performance.

Shi yuqiang’s powerful aura was only because of his mother’s background. now that his mother had passed away, a large portion of the group’s elites could not stand this person and all left their jobs.

A year ago, the internal strife within the shi heng group was very fierce. because of old lady shi’s death, several brothers began to fight over the property.

After half a year, the property was finally divided up. no one had any objections, but the shi heng group’s strength had been greatly damaged.

“when old madam shi was still alive, she was also a very powerful woman. she had laid a foundation for shi yuqiang in all aspects. although the current shi yuqiang can’t compare to his former glory, his wealth can still beat our yang family in an instant,” lan jie said softly. “twenty years ago, he once came to our door to mock yang tian.”

“old madam shi passed away. if the shi yuqiang brothers didn’t know how to manage their business, their family business would slowly decline. but before that, i was afraid that they would make a move on you,” yang tian continued, expressing his concern.

Gu kuangen was calm as usual. “mr. yang, you can rest assured. even if it wasn’t tonight, he, shi yuqiang, is prepared to make a move on the me film company under the gu corporation. a few days ago, an artiste in our company was frozen for personal reasons. it was also poached by him.”

Shi caining raised an eyebrow. “the artiste who was poached… is it guan mingshi?”

Gu kuangen nodded. “it is indeed guan mingshi, but it doesn’t matter. the other party has paid us ten times the compensation.”

When yang tian heard this name, he immediately revealed a disgusted expression. “so that guan fellow is an artiste from your company. his acting skills are really too bad. he became famous just because of his face. the artistes nowadays… are really…”

Shi cai ning smiled. “mr. and mrs. yang, the times are changing now. young people don’t have the time or the mind to examine the essence and connotation of a television or a movie. that’s why they created such an environment.”
