I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Chen Ya glanced at him sideways: "Who said I was going to tell you about this?"

Lu Yuanwu paused for a moment.

Chen Ya moved his fingers, and Liu Ruying immediately began to read:

"According to the total calculation, this year, up until the day before yesterday, Yunshang Jinghua's total revenue was 2206 million yuan. After deducting operating costs, the net income was 806 million yuan, of which 500 million yuan was handed over to the family."

"Among them, 705 million yuan was reimbursed in violation of regulations, which was included in the operating costs."

Chen Ya sat in a chair, crossed his legs, and said:

"Did you hear that? In the past six months, you have handed over a total of 500 million yuan in profits to the family, while the total profit of Yunshang Jinghua is 800 million yuan. If you take away the embezzled funds that you don't know where they went, the total is more than 1500 million yuan."

Lu Yuanwu, his neck flushed, said, "I told you, that wasn't embezzlement, it was all used for legitimate purposes..."

“That’s not my focus,” Chen Ya said, turning to Liu Ruying. “You continue.”

Liu Ruying lowered her head and continued, "In the past two days, Yunshang Jinghua has generated 106 million yuan in pure video revenue, 27 yuan in traffic subsidies, 512 million yuan in channel traffic revenue, 16 yuan in fan rewards, and 60 yuan in brand revenue across various domestic platforms."

"In addition, overseas platforms generated $55 in video revenue, equivalent to 391 million yuan, and $461 million in copyright revenue, equivalent to 3277 million yuan."

"Across all platforms and channels, the total revenue of Yunshang Jinghua over two days was 4390 million yuan."

After speaking, Liu Ruying raised her head and looked at Chen Ya: "I'm done."

Chen Ya placed his fingers on his lap and said, "As per the previous agreement, I will not hand over the 4390 million yuan to the family. I will keep 1390 million yuan for myself, and I will distribute the rest of the money to the employees who participated in the project as performance bonuses."

After saying that, he stared at Lü Yuanwu and said, "I've said what I wanted to say. You can continue your performance now."

Lu Yuanwu stared blankly at Chen Ya.

Two days?

4390?

What is this person talking in their sleep about?

Not only was he dumbfounded, but Grandma Yu, Gao Jinliang, and Lu Qingzhou, who were sitting on top, were all dumbfounded.

"What exactly do you mean?" Grandma Yu asked. "What were you saying just now?"

Chen Ya looked at her and said:

"Wasn't I clear enough? Let me put it more bluntly. In the past two days, Yunshang Jinghua's revenue totaled 4390 million yuan, which is more than double the annual revenue when Lü Yuanwu took over. Okay, am I clear enough?"

"impossible!"

Lu Yuanwu suddenly stood up and pointed at Chen Ya, saying:

"There's a limit to how much you can lie! Where did you get over 40 million in revenue in just two days? You're utterly ridiculous! Yunshang Jinghua hasn't updated at all in the past two days, so its revenue should be zero! How could you possibly earn that much? You can't lie like this!"

Lu Qingzhou frowned and said, "He might have lost his mind."

Lu Yuanwu pointed at Chen Ya and said, "You earned more than 40 million in two days? 10 million a day? I'll slap you twice. Two million in two days is impossible, let alone more than 40 million. You can't even make up a damn lie!"

Hearing what everyone said, Chen Ya just smiled and remained silent.

Cui Lingfeng silently took out his phone and tapped it twice with lightning speed.

Then, the phone's voice broadcast, at a volume that resonated throughout the entire venue, played a message:

"Zhifubao account received, 2,064,300 yuan."

Lu Yuanwu immediately stopped speaking.

Liu Ruying followed suit, taking out her phone, opening the mobile banking app, and showing off her gleaming balance to everyone:

"That was Xiao Cui's bonus, and this is mine. It's also over two million."

Grandma Yu felt her hands trembling slightly.

She leaned forward and asked Lu Qingxuan, "Qingxuan, I don't trust anyone else, I only trust you. Tell me, what he just said, was it to fool this old woman, or is it true?"

Lu Qingxuan hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Great-Grandma, what he said is true..."

"Did you also get a bonus of over two million?" Gao Jinliang asked, pointing at her from the side.

"Uh, my prize money is more than theirs, I have more than four million."

The entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Chapter 235 So annoying! But there's nothing I can do, he's too strong.

When Lu Qingxuan said her prize money was 400 million, she bit her lip into a wavy line.

She planned that if her great-grandmother asked her why she received 200 million more than others, she would break down the door and run out to a place where no one could see her.

Her reasons for taking an extra 200 million are nothing to be proud of. If people who know her knew what she filmed in real life, her image might collapse and she would never be able to hold her head up again.

Chen Ya put his hand on the chair and said, "You've seen their bonuses. If you still don't believe me, I can show you our bank statements. Do you want to see them?"

Lu Yuanwu's mouth moved, but he didn't speak.

“Alright, then I’ll pretend you’re not going to watch.” Chen Ya shifted to a more formal sitting posture and said, “Then I’ll settle things between us.”

"First of all, you refused to cooperate with my scheduling of Yunshang Jinghua, left your post without authorization, and incited employees to disobey my instructions, which ultimately resulted in Yunshang Jinghua's official WeChat account, Weibo account, Toutiao account and other accounts being suspended for two days. I want you to be fully responsible for the losses caused by this!"

After hearing this, Lü Yuanwu clenched his fists and shouted, "Why do you say it's my responsibility? It was clearly your own fault for miscommanding!"

"You really want me to slap the evidence in your face, don't you?"

Chen Ya pushed his phone onto the table, and a chat log was displayed on his phone screen.

[Xiao Wang, I've already set up the stall. You know what to do, right?]

"Mr. Lü, that's for sure, absolutely. The brothers aren't stupid; we certainly can't be traitors and take his orders, can we?"

Okay, tell the others too, let's all stick together.

[It makes me angry just thinking about it. That person told us to have a meeting, but a few people wouldn't listen and insisted on going...]

……

Grandma Yu took his phone, read the records, and then silently pushed it back.

Chen Ya held up one finger: "That's just the first thing. Second, I've already investigated the matter of you illegally claiming more than seven million yuan in reimbursements. I've sent all the evidence to my lawyer, and I can call the police to detain you at any time."

"But I'm giving you a chance. If you return those seven million right now, I can let you off the hook."

The money that Lü Yuanwu embezzled was from Yunshang Jinghua, which in other words meant the Lu family's funds as well as the performance bonuses and salaries of all its employees.

Chen Ya certainly had no need to seek justice for the Lu family. However, once Yunshang Jinghua was in his hands, it would eventually become his. Therefore, what Lu Yuanwu coveted was his money.

Lu Yuanwu's face turned deathly pale.

"I told you, those were all necessary expenses, not embezzled..."

He has already spent all the money he embezzled before. Where is he going to find more than 700 million to fill this gap now?

All he could do was desperately deny it.

Chen Ya didn't have time to argue with him.

If you are given an opportunity but don't seize it, and still harbor wishful thinking, it can only be said that you don't repent even when you're about to die.

There's no need to hold back for him anymore.

In the end, Lu Qingzhou was the one who knew what was good for him and said he was willing to help his nephew fill the vacancy, but his face was terribly gloomy.

After dealing with these matters, Chen Ya sat down leisurely and looked back at Old Madam Yu.

"By the way, sir, what did you say I was going to do?"

Grandma Yu's face stiffened: "It's nothing."

"I seem to remember you saying you were going to take back my authority over Cloud Jinghua, right? I think if you dismiss me, no one will be able to keep up with Cloud Jinghua's current expansion speed, and the revenue could very well drop back to square one in a day or two..."

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Old Madam Yu, Gao Jinliang, and Lu Qingxuan, immediately turned extremely pale.

Grandma Yu forced a smile and said:

"Hehe, how could we dismiss you? You're so good at new media, we'd rather protect you than let someone else replace you."

Grandma Yu's principle is actually very simple—as long as Yunshang Jinghua makes money, the more money it makes, the better.

Whoever makes Yunshang Jinghua money represents justice; whoever hinders Yunshang Jinghua from making money is an enemy of the Lu family.

She had only heard Lu Qingzhou and Lü Yuanwu's side of the story and assumed that Chen Ya had brought Yunshang Jinghua to a standstill, so she was naturally furious with Chen Ya.

But now... Chen Ya has earned in just two days what Yunshang Jinghua earned in two or three years, so he is now the greatest righteous person in this room.

How could they possibly dismiss him?

Chen Ya had certainly grasped this point.

He knew perfectly well that Old Madam Yu would not dismiss him again, yet he deliberately tried to shut her up with words, which was a malicious act of blatant disrespect.

Grandma Yu had never been so angry in her life.

But what could she do? Could she possibly give Chen Ya the cold shoulder?

She still had to find a way to appease Chen Ya!

I'm so annoyed! But there's nothing I can do, he's just too strong!

"Since you are so capable, you should have told me sooner," Grandma Yu said, pulling Chen Ya's hand and patting and rubbing it, seemingly very affectionate.

“Our Lu family has always valued talent above all else. No one in the family should be overlooked. Someone like you, who can play the piano and has creativity in new media, should have stood out long ago. Why is it only now that you’ve shown your talent?”

She spoke earnestly and earnestly, pulling Chen Ya aside and addressing everyone present:

“A child like him is just too reserved. If we hadn’t given him these two opportunities, no one would have known about his abilities. That’s why I’m saying you should give children more opportunities to showcase their talents… Lu Ruixiang, are you listening?”

Lu Ruixiang was stunned today. She was in a daze when she was suddenly called upon, and was caught off guard. She quickly replied:

"Great-Grandma, I'm listening."

Grandma Yu pointed at her with her finger and said with a smile:

"Look at you, you're so nervous. Your child is so talented, but you're keeping it from me. Are you afraid I'll be jealous, or do you want to give your child more opportunities to hone their skills?"

Lu Ruixiang bit her lip and said, "Great-Grandma, I...I am too..."

She wanted to say that she didn't know Chen Ya's strength either, but saying that would make her seem too dull.

"And what are you?"

Lu Ruixiang changed her tune, saying, "I also think that children are too impetuous by comparing themselves to others; it's better for them to be more humble..."

"Ha, someone like him, being overly modest is just being arrogant." Old Mrs. Yu scoffed at Lu Ruixiang's words.

“You should show off when you should, and reveal what you should reveal. In this world, everyone is flamboyant. If you hide your abilities, people will think you are incompetent.” After saying that, she turned to Chen Ya and said with a smile, “From now on, if you want something, just tell Great-Grandma. Don’t keep your grievances to yourself. We’re all family.”

Lu Ruixiang quietly stuck out her tongue.

Good heavens. In the past, she felt like she had received a great reward just for talking to her great-grandmother, but now, her great-grandmother practically treats Chen Ya like her own grandson.

Her words, whether overt or covert, implied that she considered Chen Ya her direct disciple and suggested that he should directly complain if he had any issues, rather than beating around the bush and suffering injustice.

Lu Ruixiang suddenly felt sour.

In all the years of her family's life, her great-grandmother had never spoken to her so affectionately.

Chen Ya has only been here for a few days.

Chen Ya sat in his chair and laughed, "Then I think three months is too short. I can play in Cloud Jinghua for a longer period of time, and maybe the revenue will be even better."

Grandma Yu said, "You can play as long as you want. As long as you're willing to do it, you can keep doing it. When you don't want to do it anymore, just come and tell Grandma. Then Grandma will come and worry about who will be in charge."

Chen Ya reached out and patted Lu Qingxuan's back casually, saying, "I was so successful this time thanks to Qingxuan's help. She's really useful."

Lu Qingxuan coughed repeatedly as he patted her, swaying left and right like a sapling battered by the wind, her face full of helplessness.

Grandma Yu chuckled and said, "Lu Qingxuan has been lending it to you all along. Just don't fight between the two of you."

Chen Ya slapped his forehead again and said, "Right, now all the shares of Yunshang Jinghua are in Lu Ningna's hands, right? I want to buy 50% or 60% from her, otherwise I won't feel at ease..."

Grandma Yu's face twitched, and after taking two deep breaths, she forced a smile and said:

"Okay, okay, whatever you say. I'll negotiate a lower price for you. I'll call Ningna over later to discuss the details."

Lu Ruixiang was completely stunned.

Previously, most of the family business was registered under Lu Yuanlong's name. After his accident, most of it was urgently transferred to Lu Ningna. In reality, it was the great-grandmother who managed those assets.

In other words, those businesses belonging to the Lu family are actually working for Lu Ningna in name only.
