Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu’s Passionate Pursuit

Chapter 822 -818: The Taste is Really Good

Richelle Dunn and Fenny Watts never expected such a dramatic turn of events.

“Mr. Bailes, do you mean this work or something else? I thought your company wasn’t short on funds?”

Richelle didn’t like to beat around the bush. Since William Bailes asked so bluntly, she didn’t mind letting him know that she had investigated their finances.

William Bailes was startled at first, then laughed.

“I told my assistant last night that your vision and scope, Mr. Dunn, couldn’t be just that of an ordinary studio partner. Sure enough, we were not wrong.”

Richelle replied, “Mr. Bailes, you flatter me. I’m just the acting president of the Lewis Group. When my husband returns, I’ll actually go back to my real job as a physician. Which project are you referring to?”

William Bailes quickly responded.

“Our favorite part about Ms. Watts’ work is its futuristic interstellar setting. Such future-themed works will have a huge market not only domestically but also abroad. You know the scale of our company’s capital, Mr. Dunn. We could barely operate in the domestic market, let alone trying to operate in foreign markets as well. Moreover, not just Ms. Watts’ work, but also other works from our company have potential in the overseas market. Alas, our funds are limited!”

Originally, Richelle’s idea was to invest in Fenny’s project as an individual investor.

This kind of investment is limited.

But the cooperation William Bailes proposed now would be a long-term one.

“Mr. Bailes, this cooperation is no small matter. You should first prepare a proposal for me to evaluate.”

Hearing her tone, William Bailes knew she was interested and quickly nodded.

“Of course, we’ll send a proposal to Mr. Dunn as soon as possible and hope that we’ll have the chance to work together.”

In this way, Richelle not only helped her friend’s work secure a better price but also brought business to the Lewis Group.

Of course, with the scale of the Lewis Group, they wouldn’t be short of people offering cooperation proposals.

But whether they could make money, and whether big or small, was another matter.

After sending off William Bailes and his party, Fenny Watts immediately hugged Richelle, laughing and jumping with joy.

“Richelle, you truly are our studio’s lucky star. If this partnership succeeds, we can focus on our creations without worrying about costs and rent.”

Richelle clicked her tongue, “You scatterbrain, you should hire a more reliable manager. Your talents are better suited for creating rather than managing a company.”

Fenny nodded, “I’ll post a job ad right away.”

Richelle said, “No need, I’ll ask around and help you find someone reliable. You can interview them and hire if suitable.”

Fenny grinned, “If you find them, I trust them completely. No need for an interview, they can start right away!”

Richelle was speechless and tapped her on the head.

“You’re so clueless that if I sold you one day, you’d help me count the money!”

Fenny laughed and hugged her, “Sis Fish would never be so tacky!”

After saying that, she suddenly remembered something.

“Oh, that person who has been trying to commission you raised their offer to US$ 13,700. Are you really not considering it?”

Richelle waved her hand, “No, the background is too complicated. I won’t be able to finish it in a short amount of time, and I don’t have the time right now.”

The painting she drew when everyone was out of the house still needed a few finishing touches, which she hadn’t found the time to do.

“Well, that’s true. You’re so busy now, doing the work of several people. I’m really grateful for you taking the time to come and help me negotiate.”

Richelle reluctantly pinched her face, “Of course I had to come. With your clueless self, you could’ve easily sold your top-rated online work for a mere US$ 82,000.”

To Richelle, the US$ 136,700 price tag wasn’t the main issue; it was the 10% profit-sharing afterward that really mattered.

If the film’s box office and subsequent online copyrights are well-received, the studio would have a steady stream of income, which would essentially eradicate their worries about operating costs. Big and small artists could just focus on creating.

Fenny was so happy that she treated Richelle to an extravagant meal at the most expensive Japanese restaurant in town that evening.

In her words, the cost was equivalent to her studio’s operating expenses for a whole week.

After dining, Richelle rushed back to Kindur overnight.

As soon as her feet entered the house, Roy Lewis came back.

It was already nearly 11 PM. Richelle went to the kitchen to make some tea and bumped into Roy in the living room.

Both their faces showed surprise.

Roy walked over and took a sip of tea from her hand.

“New fruit tea blend?”

Richelle nodded, “Yes, it’s getting dry in autumn and winter. Uncle Axel bought some nice orange peel recently, so I made some orange peel tea. How’s the taste?”

Roy wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her lips. After the kiss, he licked his lips and showed an expression of endless aftertaste.

“Hmm, it tastes really good!”
