Chapter 386

Although I had no obligation to quench Zeph's curiosity, I still gave him an answer. "GrantCorporation's main industry isn't the entertainment industry. And I'm currently the president ofMagnificent Pictures Television. If Zimmer Corporations purchase your company, it'll be a greatboost to my career, won't it?"

Zeph smiled at me and nodded his head. "President Lane, you’re indeed a true businesswoman."

He put down the folder that he was holding and continued to say, "It's just that I'm more familiar withGrant Corporation rather than Zimmer Corporations. President Lane, you know that I've put mucheffort into this company. I've been meticulously training and developing the celebrities in thiscompany for so many years. There are so many celebrities in Magnificent Pictures Television. I'mworried that my celebrities will be neglected because of this."

"In regards to this, you won’t be able to rest assured even if it’s Grant Corporation." Matthew raisedhis brows. "What’s most important to me is the potential I see in your celebrities. Naturally, I’ll workon developing them. However, if they’re not worth developing, I’d end up losing money. As for thevalue o f the company itself, it doesn't matter to me."

Zeph frowned. He was a little unhappy to hear this. It sounded like they were hoping to gain profitswith a small investment.

Matthew was able to guess what he was thinking. He smiled and continued. "Although thecompany’s value isn’t that important to me, you don't have to worry about the price I’ll offer givenyour company's worth. President Roffe, you don't have to worry about that."

I saw that Zeph was still hesitating, so I said," President Roffe, we've met before this. You knowwhat kind of person I am. I won't mistreat the celebrities under your company.

"I believe in your character, President Lane. It's just that..." It seemed that he was concerned aboutsomething.

I raised my brows. "How about this? We’ll give you some time to consider it. This can’t be rushedanyway. But I believe you'll make a decision that'll benefit everyone, President Roffe."

Zeph nodded his head. "Then please allow me to think about it. I'll give you two an answertomorrow."

Mathew and I left the Magnificent Entertainment Company and went back to the hotel.

We were not worried that Zeph would not agree to it. Now that Xander and Theo had given up onpurchasing Magnificent Entertainment, only Matthew could offer such a good deal to them. 1

Zeph knew that too, but he was still unconvinced.

After all, if Xander and Theo were still in the competition, he would have been able to gain morebenefits. However, he was left with no choice now. i

I went to shower in the bathroom. After that, I planned to lie in bed and take a rest.

I did not know when I fell asleep. In the middle of the night, I could vaguely feel someone was lyingbeside m e. I wanted to open my eyes but I could not.

Finally, I managed to open my eyes. I switched on the lights on the bedside table and realized thatthere was no one beside me.

Was it a nightmare?

I could not get back to sleep even after I lay down again. I kept my eyes open until dawn.

After I got out of bed, I could feel that my head was heavy. I was feeling groggy.

I sent a text message to Matthew and told him that I was going to have breakfast in my room thismorning.

I was afraid that he would be worried, so I did not tell him that I was feeling uncomfortable.

When it was ten o’clock in the morning, Zeph called m e and told me that he agreed to theacquisition.

Matthew and I hurried to Magnificent Entertainment and signed the contract with him.

"President Lane, President Zimmer, I'm hosting a lunch reception in Moonlight Restaurant. Let's gothere at noon." Zeph looked like he was in a good mood. He had probably thought things through bynow.

Matthew and I would naturally not reject his invitation. We took a walk in the company before it wastime to go there.

When it was lunch break, the three of us went to Moonlight Restaurant.

Drinking could not be avoided during socializing. It was impossible for Matthew to help me drinkeach time. It was just fortunate that although I was not a good drinker, I could still drink a little.

Matthew had been helping me with the dishes. He wanted me to eat more instead of drink more. Idid not reject him as it had become a habit. Zeph saw this and smiled, saying, "Looks like you twoare very close friends."

I was startled. I nodded and said, "Yes, we're close friends.”

"Before President Roffe introduced you to me, I thought both of you were a couple. I almost made afool of myself," another senior said.
