<h4>Chapter 27: Vicious Woman</h4>


    Delh Xenosughed lightly and said, “I came to see you. Back then, you were the school belle who was all morous and glorious. I had thought that your achievements would be amazing, but I didn’t expect that you would only found such a smallpany. Ha, you’ve really disappointed me.”


    Xenia Lewis snorted and said, “I’ll do whatever I want. As long as I’m happy, it’s none of your business.”


    “You’re really wrong. This time, it’s really none of my business. Let me introduce myself. I’m now the deputy head of Millennium Productions’s investment department.” Delh Xenos slowly announced her identity and then looked at Xenia Lewis with anticipation.


    Xenia Lewis’s expression froze, and Delh Xenos’s smile widened. “I have to add that I am in charge of yourpany’s financing.”


    “Y-you are in charge of ourpany’s financing…” The corners of Xenia Lewis’s mouth twitched. There was an indescribable bitterness in her voice. Suddenly, she realized something and turned to look at Joan Cairn.


    Joan Cairn quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet Xenia Lewis’s gaze.


    Delh Xenosughed lightly and said, “Your business partner is quite smart. She directly quit thepany. Joan Cairn, how much can this smallpany develop? You cane back to Millennium Productions Film and Television. That way, you will have more room to develop yourself.”


    “Thank you, Deputy Zeng,” Joan Cairn said softly.


    Xenia Lewis was furious. She pointed at Joan Cairn and her fingers were trembling. “Joan, we started our business together and suffered so much together. It wasn’t easy for us to get thepany to this stage. You actually… you colluded with others to set me up!”


    Joan Cairn’s lips moved. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not.


    Delh Xenos giggled and said, “Xenia Lewis, yours is just a smallpany. What future can you have? This is what it means to strive for greater heights. Joan Cairn has made the wisest choice.”


    Xenia Lewis gritted her teeth and took a deep breath before saying, “You’ve already degraded and damaged everything you wanted. Let’s get down to business.”


    “Business? Oh, right, we still have to talk about financing. I’ve always been a person who separates public from private interests. Although we had all kinds of conflicts when we were in school, it didn’t affect our cooperation. After all, if we can earn money, why not?”


    ......


    Xenia Lewis looked at Delh Xenos in surprise, then quickly calmed herself down. She nodded and said, “That’s right, ourpany has made some achievements in short videos, especially the early works we created…”


    William Scott was really a little surprised. He really didn’t expect a rather temperamental girl like Xenia Lewis to be able to control her emotions like this. When she encountered something, she could determine the severity of the matter without being affected by her emotions.


    Delh Xenos waved her hand and interrupted Xenia Lewis, saying, “We have seen all of your information. Actually, ourpany is very interested in your smallpany, and we are also very interested in investing in you.”


    Xenia Lewis was confused but she still said calmly, “I also think this is a win-win coboration.”


    “It’s definitely true that we’re interested in investing, but…” Delh Xenos dragged out her voice, and then her face revealed a thick smile. “Ourpany does not approve of the asset evaluation.”


    Xenia Lewis’s heart skipped a beat. “Then what is your estimate of ourpany?”


    “After ourpany’s careful calctions and evaluation, yourpany’s valuation…” Delh Xenos extended four fingers.


    “Four million dors…” Xenia Lewis heaved a sigh of relief. Their own valuation was five million dors, so four million dors waspletely eptable.


    “No! No! No!” Delh Xenos shook her head and said, “You’re overestimating your smallpany. How is this worth four million? Our valuation is… 400,000.”


    “400,000!” Xenia Lewis’s face turned red with anger. “Ourpany now has 400,000 dors in tangible assets. What’s valuable is ourpany’s intangible assets. Aren’t you going to consider this?”


    “Do you really think that your idea is valuable? Let me tell you, there are so many people who want to do this now. Just a word from me and countless people will be begging me to invest. I can invest 300,000 dors and take 75% of the shares.”


    “This is robbery!” Xenia Lewis was exasperated.


    “That’s not right. What do youck now? Money. Ourpany can invest in you, and yourpany can continue to work. Of course, if you’re unwilling, then there’s nothing I can do. I’m only giving you this chance because I’m an alumnus.”


    “This kind of opportunity… I don’t want it!” This was definitely a humiliation, an extreme humiliation. Xenia Lewis gritted her teeth and jumped to her feet. She pointed at Delh Xenos and shouted, “Mypany doesn’t wee you. Get out of here, now! Now!”


    “Haha…” Delh Xenosughed so hard that she was shaking. After a while, she said, “Why? Are you angry? If you want the valuation to be higher, I’ll give you a chance. As long as you beg me, I’ll raise yourpany’s valuation to two million dors.”


    “Beg you?” Xenia Lewis gritted her teeth and squeezed out a voice. “Even if thispany goes bankrupt, I won’t beg you. Get lost!”


    Delh Xenos’s face darkened and she said, “Xenia Lewis, I’m giving you a chance now. My patience is limited. If you miss this opportunity, you won’t have another. If I don’t finance you here, do you really think you can find other investors? Ha… Then you’re too naive. Our Millennium Productions is the most open and inclusivepany. We’re the most willing investors in the entire market right now. If you can’t get money from us, then you won’t be able to seed with others.”


    “Haha…” Xenia Lewisughed out of anger and said, “Delh Xenos, do you think that if you have control over my fate, I will be at your mercy?”


    “Isn’t that the case?” Delh Xenos’s crossed legs shook slightly. She had a mocking smile on her face, as if she was certain that she was going to win.


    Xenia Lewis puffed out her chest and said, “It’s a pity that you’re wrong. Although I don’t have any money and I was the one who painstakingly founded thispany, I, Xenia Lewis, still have a backbone. I will definitely not sell out my dignity for money.”


    “Well said!” William Scott shouted and apuded. William Scott praised the Xenia Lewis he was seeing now.


    Delh Xenos turned to look at William Scott and said coldly, “Who are you? You have no right to speak here.”


    William Scott smiled at Delh Xenos and said, “You’re just a deputy head. Do you really think that you can decide whether to finance it or not?”
