Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1326 - 1315: Siblings

Recently, the upper echelons of City A witnessed quite a drama. The eldest son and illegitimate child of the Duan Family teamed up to target the company and shares of the two children born to the current Duan Family’s Madam, causing Duan Minghui much distress.

One is the chosen heir by the late Mr. Duan, and the other is the favored son of his current wife, putting him in a difficult position on both sides.

However, the most surprising aspect for everyone was the Duan Family’s illegitimate child, who previously didn’t stand out much. It’s said he was brought back from outside only ten years ago and was never really valued since. Yet, this time, he taught the Duan Family’s Madam a harsh lesson.

With the current flourishing news and entertainment industry, Mingfei Entertainment was initially a gift from Duan Minghui to his successor wife Lin Fei, even named after both of them. After years of Duan Minghui’s support, Mingfei Entertainment had already gone public five years ago, owning several copyrights and top-tier celebrities, with its market value constantly on the rise.

However, unexpectedly just last week, Mingfei Entertainment was caught in scandals about executives forcing celebrities to drink and homemade dramas being accused of plagiarism, causing the stock price to plummet. While Lin Fei tried her utmost to restore the company’s image, the shares were being massively acquired overseas, eventually falling into the hands of the Duan Family’s illegitimate son, Duan Yunquan.

Ultimately, Duan Yunquan acquired 21% of the shares, surpassing Lin Fei to become the largest shareholder. At the shareholders’ meeting, he proposed to dismiss Lin Fei from her position as Executive Chairman, arguing she damaged the company’s image and lacked management capabilities, and more than half of the attending shareholders agreed.

Previously, he only ran a small entertainment company, signing a few minor artists, which no one took seriously. Yet unexpectedly, he acted so ruthlessly this time that Lin Fei was utterly defenseless, quietly seizing a significant portion of the shares and even gaining the support of over half the shareholders, earning him much newfound respect.

What’s more startling is that after gaining control of the company, he swiftly dismissed several executives misusing company power, cleared the artists’ scandals, and announced the upcoming big IP projects, diverting the netizens’ attention, followed by signing several respected veteran actors.

Today’s netizens aren’t like those in the past. They love trending topics, yet they don’t tolerate bad dramas or movies. After being poisoned by poor productions, they anticipate high-quality film and television products, especially when international films are flourishing while domestic ones stick to old routines. Duan Yunquan’s moves won him considerable goodwill, and netizens praised him.

"Sure enough, born of a lowly mother, he’s tough enough; this is the good son you raised," Lin Fei lashed out at Duan Minghui, her eyes vicious as if capable of killing.

"I didn’t know he would suddenly act this way; it was you who insisted on designing against him, or else why would he rebel?" Duan Minghui said helplessly.

"Are you blaming me? This company was your gift to me! Now I am being ousted by him, will even the name need to change? If it weren’t for you finding another woman outside back then, would we have this situation now? You know how Yun Luan and Yun Mei are oppressed by those two!"

Duan Minghui scratched his head: "What am I supposed to do? Yun Hai was chosen by Dad as the heir. If you hadn’t been so poor to Yunquan, would they have united?"

"Are you still blaming me for treating Duan Yunquan poorly? If I brought home a child born with another man, could you be so magnanimous? Besides, I’ve been married to you for so many years. Yun Luan and Yun Mei are so filial to your father, yet they still can’t compare to Duan Yun Hai. How am I inferior to his deceased mother?" Lin Fei ranted, "Isn’t it because you’re useless? If you had acquired the shares from your father, would I struggle this hard?"

Hearing her mention Duan Yun Hai’s mom made Duan Minghui impatient, his face turned dark: "Are you done talking yet? Yun Hai’s mom married me back then in exchange for shares from the Jiang Family. Even if Dad agreed to give me all the shares, the Jiang Family and those shareholders wouldn’t agree. What’s the use of arguing with me? Isn’t it better to concentrate the shares on one person than to have them scattered, as in your entertainment company infested with acquisitions?"

"Are you saying I’m getting what I deserve then?" Lin Fei said hurtfully, "I’d cash out for Yun Luan and Yun Mei’s career because you’re useless? You heartless man, what did you promise me when you married me? Answer me!"

"What do you want me to do? Haven’t I favored you enough over the years? Because of this, Yun Hai is estranged from me. What promise haven’t I fulfilled for you? Isn’t all the wealth in your hands given by me?" Duan Minghui said impatiently. For the past two years, the Duan Family has been ridiculed frequently; he’s exhausted, unsure how to balance between his eldest son and his wife.

"You are dissatisfied that I didn’t bring a generous dowry like Jiang Yao when marrying you?" Lin Fei questioned him sadly. "In your heart, am I always inferior to her?"

"Why are you bringing this up again? Jiang Yao has been gone for years; what are you so resentful about? I’m not interested in discussing this with you. You should be thinking about how to reclaim power over Lin Fei Entertainment instead of arguing with me here. Calm yourself down; I’m returning to the company to handle some matters." With that, Duan Minghui turned to leave without looking back.

Lately, Lin Fei’s constant bickering has truly irritated him, making him question if his once gentle and considerate wife was merely putting on an act. He returns home for comfort, not for arguments.

Additionally, about Jiang Yao... he indeed wronged her back then, not wanting to detail past events. His estrangement from his eldest son wasn’t just favoritism toward his wife, but also due to Jiang Yao’s death. That incident prevented him from facing his eldest son with a normal heart.

Due to guilt towards Jiang Yao, he overlooked Duan Yun Hai’s methods and said nothing when his father allocated the shares elsewhere. However, Duan Yunquan...

Thinking of this son filled his gaze with disgust. His involvement with Duan Yunquan’s mom wasn’t just a mistake, but more due to her scheming, particularly when she brought Duan Yunquan demanding marriage and money, which deeply irked him, even to the point of not acknowledging the son.

Even if his father brought the child back, he’s never been close or acknowledged him. These years, being a sidekick to the eldest son was tolerable, but daring to plot against his wife? That simply crossed the line for Duan Minghui.
