My Billionaire Boyfriend

However, Chase remained calm and sile Ryan’s heart finally eased up. He had misinterpreted Chase’s silence; he thought that Chase had no guts to even speak up.

As Ryan looked at David again, an idea struck him. He immediately took a step forward.

He was very respectful as he inched towards David.

And in all earnesty.

“Director Chien, I’m Ryan of Lunanica Media. We’ve met several times before… I was wondering what you think about the negotiations before…”

Ryan was just a middle-class employee in the company. When would he ever get the chance to talk to a big-shot like David?

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If he could get some information out of David, he could report it to Lucas. This could be considered as a great contribution.

At Ryan’s mention of the negotiations.

David couldn’t help glancing at Chase

Since Chase was working for Lunanica Media, David had to take Chase into consideration before he made any statement.

David had initially planned on making a big fortune out of the negotiations, but now he changed his mind.

He patted Ryan on the shoulder and said in an exaggerated manner, “Well, since you’ve brought it up, of course, no way I am going to turn you guys down. Go back and tell Lucas that we will sign the contract in a few days time.”

Ryan was initially trembling with fear as he thought David would make things difficult for him.

He was even prepared to be a laughing stock.

However, David’s words were like a clap of thunder, rumbling through his body and sending shockwaves through his bones!

What did he just hear?!

Did David just agree to sign the contrac despite the terms of the negotiations?

Besides, they would do it in a few day’s time?

All because he brought this up?

Ryan felt his heart beat wildly, flustered with excitement!

He was gonna be rich!

Really, really rich!

He would be the talk of the entire company!

in an instant, a cornucopia of praises spilled forth in his mind. He was so giddy he thought he had to be in a dream!

Earlier, he was only trying to gauge the progress of the negotiations, and hence the question.

He was not expecting David would agree to sign the contract so readily.

And David even said he was doing it for Ryan’s sake! Ryan was the one who brought it up!

“Doesn’t this mean I can take full credit?

Ryan thought to himself.

“Doesn’t this mean I am going to be looked up to by the Song family?”

Ryan bowed in gratitude and said, “Thank you, Director Chien! Thank you so much! I really don’t know how to express my gratitude!”

David glanced at Chase indistinctly, and Chase gave him a slight nod.

David then replied, “Since you’re already dining here, I’ll go to another room. Enjoy your meal.”

Ryan was overjoyed.

Not only did David not blame Ryan for taking over his private room, he even voluntarily went to another room.

It seemed to Ryan that even the heavens were helping him!

It was definitely Ryan’s lucky day!

Money!

Power!

Woman!

All within a day’s worth of work!

Ryan felt elated, as though he were on top of the world.

It was not until David had left that Ryan and the Song’s became active again.

Jane first looked at Chase with a sneer and jeered, “Did you see that? Without the support of the Helping Hands Medical Center, you are nothing! No, no, you’re just a pet dog in our house!”

The Song family burst into laughter concurrently.

They saw how David’s face changed after finding out Chase was no longer a part of the Helping Hands Medical Center with their very own eyes.

Bella was livid. She glared at the arrogant Song’s around her as if she was using this way to apologize to Chase for her family’s pomposity.

However, Chase didn’t take it to heart at “How ridiculous! You don’t even know why David is acting so humble around me!” Chase sneered in his heart.

They didn’t even know the reason behind David’s sudden change in expression!

By the time they discovered the truth, it would already be too late.

After taunting Chase, everyone looked at Ryan with fervor once more.

Although Ryan’s performance at the beginning killed his composure somewhat, the final outcome was satisfactory.

David’s response towards the end was more than enough to make them covet Ryan.

“Ryan, I’ve underestimated your position in the company! Even for such a huge contract, it only took you a question to get Director Chien to agree with it,” someone from the Song family commented.

“That’s right. I heard that the terms of the contract included the cut for the lead stars as well as that of the sponsors. It is a deal I must say,” another young lady

chimed in.

“Even a big shot like Director Chien needs to show respect to you. You can truly do whatever you want in Golden City given your reputation.”

They continued showering him with praises, making him growing more complacent about himself.

He still felt as if he were in a dream, and a beautiful one at that.

At this moment, Jane saw Rosaline giving her a knowing look.

She immediately got the hint and said to Ryan, “Ryan, the main reason we invited you to dinner today was that the Song family is interested in becoming a sponsor

for the movie. We would like the discuss the inclusion of an ad in the movie…

Ryan, overly engrossed in the glory, puffed out his chest and agreed at once, “No problem, no problem! I’ll see to it tomorrow.”

Rosaline’s face lit up with joy. “Hahaha, good! Ryan, you’re indeed talented. The Song family proposes a toast to both of you.”

As the Song family raised their cups in unison, Bella helplessly raised her cup too. With this toast, Ryan’s image as an influential man was permanently engraved unto the hearts of the Song family.

After the feast, Ryan was walking tipsily, drunk on power. He relied on Kaleb to support his weight.

Jane also gently held him up.

Although Ryan was no longer in control of his body, his mind was very much sound. His eyes reddened as he looked at Bella who was walking with Chase not far away.

Bella looked absolutely stunning under the neon lights, the breeze flowing gently through her long hair. She brought her hand to her cheeks and swept back a few

stray strands of hair, tucking them behind her ear. Her radiance seemed to steal the light from the stars in the sky, as they shied away from her beauty in jealousy.

“Madam Zhang, about your daughter…

Ryan hinted to Jane.

Of course, Jane understood what he meant She immediately smiled and replied, “Ryan, don’t worry, I’ve had loathed that guy for a while now. Obviously, you are a much better candidate as Bella’s suitor, even more so as a son-in-law of the Song family. Tell you what, you take care of the sponsorship rights for us, and I’ll take care of Rosaline for you. As for the girl, I will create an opportunity for you to get close to her.”

Ryan frowned slightly at her suggestion asked, “Just an opportunity? Don’t you think the sponsorship rights are worth more than that?”

Jane looked around furtively and whispered, “By opportunity, I mean that you will get her no matter what method you use. That is your chance…”

After hearing this, Ryan let the tipsiness get to his head as he suddenly burst out into laughter.

Everyone looked at Ryan in bewilderment wondering what came over him.

Chase and Bella had already separated themselves from the group. Bella was visibly down in the dumps.

“Penny for your thoughts? Is this about the sponsorship?” Chase asked casually.

Bella was dumbstruck. “How did you know?”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Chase’s eyes turned somber as he asked, “Tell me honestly, do you want the sponsorship?”
