Chapter 28 You Saucy Little Minx
Natalie is indeed a saucy little minx.
If Natalie did not reach her goal, she would never give up.
Kendrick saw that Natalie's hands were pulling at the rope of her trousers. He was afraid that she
would do something shocking again, and said, "You admitted it yourself. I just said it at will."
After all, Natalie's capital was in the range of millions.
Natalie was speechless about Kendrick's words and said, "I'm going to invest one million dollars in it."
"Not much." Kendrick said, "You can have a try, and if you lose money, you can practice your skills."
Natalie smiled, and the moment she was about to compliment Kendrick on his support for her, she
heard him say the next second, "Invest at your own risk."
Natalie's smile froze.
The change in Natalie's expression was in Kendrick's eyes.
For some reason, Kendrick wanted to tease Natalie.
"If you earn money this time, I'll get one-tenth of your income."
Hearing this, Natalie looked at Kendrick with big eyes.
"In your principal, I've contributed at least 100 thousand dollars."
"You are so cunning!" Natalie pushed Kendrick's elbow and grumbled, "You mean that I'll bear the risk
of losing money and give you a share of the winnings? I'll pay you back right now!"
As soon as Natalie decided to return the money to Kendrick, she suddenly realized that she could not
do so.
Her principal would be even less if she returned the money to Kendrick, and she would not have the
confidence to fool Lamont, Natalie thought.
"We're on good terms." Natalie changed her expression again, and leaned over to smile sweetly,
"We're all in this together. Let's overlook it?" She poked Kendrick's arm and said, "Don't worry, I'm very
generous. What's mine is yours." She blinked at him, "Not only money but me."
Kendrick was drinking water and choked unexpectedly when he heard Natalie's words.
Natalie hastily reached out and patted Kendrick on the back, "Be careful."
Natalie manipulated Kendrick temporarily.
As long as Natalie was brave enough and spoke boldly.
There was nothing Kendrick could do!

Lamont, thirty-five years old, graduated from the Goldburg Communication University with a master's
degree.
Lamont had been obsessed with niche literary films before, with a good reputation but a bad box office.
In recent years, Lamont had grown older and was under great pressure to support his family, so he had
begun to develop into commercial films and television dramas.
In particular, Lamont wanted to catch up with the trend of adapting costume novels for films and
television dramas recently and master the particular memes for clickbait.
This was Lamont's information sent by Nigel ten minutes ago.
From the picture, Lamont was a man with a stubby beard, looking a little down and out.
Kendrick could not see how handsome Lamont was.
With his fingers clenched into fists and resting on his lips, Kendrick's eyes darkened a bit, and he
flipped through Lamont's latest project description for a television drama that he was planning to shoot.
It was a sweet idol drama in ancient costumes with a female theme.
The plot was not complicated.
Kendrick read a page and did not read anymore, but he endured it and flipped through it again.
Kendrick had been in the investment world for ten years and had been involved in countless projects.
The myth of bicycles turning into Rolls-Royce was common for him.
But at this moment, Kendrick could not understand it.
Was such a costume drama worth 1 million dollars?
Kendrick suddenly remembered that Natalie had said that Lamont was pretty handsome.
Kendrick called Nigel directly and said, "Keep an eye on Lamont!"
Although Nigel did not know what had happened, he still obeyed Kendrick's command.
Nigel also wondered why Mr. Ramsey paid attention to people in the film industry.
Hadn't Kendrick set foot in this circle?
First, Kendrick thought the film industry was very chaotic. Second, he thought there was no big money
to make.
Kendrick's slender fingers tapped on the table, and he said to Nigel again, "If anything untoward
happens, don't be polite to him."
"Yes, sir."

Lamont felt that his luck had changed.
Although an investor had left, another richer one came.
Before Lamont went out, he tidied himself up deliberately, with a happy face.
It could be judged from the phone call that the new investor was a young woman.
However, Lamont was not sure. some old rich women also liked to speak in a pinched voice and
pretend to be young.
Lamont could not afford to take a taxi, so he rode a shared bicycle for an hour before arriving at the
appointed cafe.
The per capita consumption of this cafe in the alley was not low.
Lamont looked at the balance in his mobile phone, gritted his teeth, and walked in.
Lamont saw a young girl with a ball head and a white T-shirt sitting by the window, he guessed that she
was probably waiting for her boyfriend.
Lamont picked up his mobile phone and made a call.
Then Lamont heard the girl's voice coming from the opposite, "I'm sitting in front of you!"
Lamont looked over in surprise, walked quickly to the front, and sat down with an expression of
disbelief.
Natalie said with a smile, "I'm Natalie Quinn!"
"He.. hello," Lamont stretched out his hand hesitantly, and looked around, but there was no one there.
The shock on his face was indescribable. He thought Natalie was probably not more than twenty. Could
it be that medical beauty technology had developed to this point recently?
Natalie touched Lamont's fingertips lightly and said, "Sit down, please."
"This is the project description." After Lamont sat down, he hurriedly handed it over and said, "You can
have a look first."
Natalie flipped through the description and said, "I've roughly understood it." She took out the contract
from her bag and handed it to Lamont, saying, "I'll invest 1 million dollars in this project and divided it
into two investments, but I have three requirements."
"Please tell me!"
"First, the chief producer must be me. Second, I decide who the protagonist is. Third, dividends should
be distributed according to the proportion of the investment, and no other funds are allowed to be
injected," Natalie said.
Lamont was stunned.
This was the first time Lamont had seen such a decisive investor.
"I...I...but, have you...read the project description?"
"Yes, I have."
"Have you already... read the script?"
"Yes."
Lamont flipped through the contract and said, "There's no big problem of male and female casting, but
speaking of the supporting actress..."
"Maggie Ramsey." Natalie said, "Only her!"
Lamont frowned and said, "We've contacted her before, but she hasn't responded yet. Her company
has a high vision, and it is estimated that she disdains to play our low-budget online drama."
"Your thought is old-fashioned. Now the time has changed." Natalie pouted, and then tapped on the
table, "Be confident, how can you say it's low-budget? Its production cost of it is nearly 1.6 million
dollars. Which online drama has such a high cost? Be courageous. Publicize that it's an investment of
tens of millions!"
"But I'm afraid that Maggie's company won't agree to let her play the supporting actress."
Natalie smiled, "Adjust the propaganda script and announce that the costume drama has two
heroines!"
Lamont was an honest man.
He was still hesitant, "What if there is a dispute about the ranking on the bill in the future..."
"Maggie has no fans, so there could be no dispute." Natalie said calmly, "Wouldn't it make the costume
drama be streamed if it happened?"
Lamont was speechless and he nodded, "Okay, I'll go talk about it with her company again."
"This time, we're going to use newcomers and cut their fees to star in the costume drama." Natalie
said, "Maggie must be persuaded to play in it because there's no one more suitable for this role than
her. You got confidence?"
"...Yes!"
"The script will be revised again, and I have circled a few obvious bugs." Natalie put the revised script
in front of Lamont and said, "The logic will be more consistent if you revised it this way."
Faced with Natalie, Lamont did not know what to say. He was stunned for a while and said, "Ah, I
haven't ordered yet, what do you want to drink? Allow me to buy you a drink."
Natalie asked, "Do you have money?"
Lamont replied, "It's okay to buy you a cup of coffee."
Natalie watched the time and said, "No, thanks. I still have things to do. Save the money to buy milk
powder for your daughter!" She stood up and said, "The new drama of the heroine Maggie is coming
out. Wait until then to contact her later, then we'll have more bargaining chips."
Lamont was totally confused, "You mean that after the new drama of Maggie's first female lead is
released, we'll talk to her about the script and role of the supporting actress?"
Hearing Lamont's words, Natalie thought maybe there was anything wrong with his mind.
