This incident really made Wang Jiesen furious. Such a huge bomb had been hanging over his head for several years, and his agent was completely unaware of it.
If Han Bin had not taken the initiative to find Qin Fan, he would still be kept in the dark.
Gao Wen glared at Wang Jiesen fiercely. It's not easy for me to pretend to be a white lotus, but I have no self-awareness at all and I'm trying to ruin my reputation!
Wang Jiesen also knew that he had talked too much, and tried to make amends awkwardly.
He said, "Of course, you're different from Han Bin. That bastard even resorted to blackmail for money. This is a crime! Luckily he fled abroad, otherwise I would have tickled him to death!"
Gao Wen said impatiently: "Alright, alright, don't you have a lot of things to do? Go quickly and stop being an eyesore."
"Okay, okay, you continue chatting with Mr. Qin, I'll leave first."
Seeing Gao Wen's eager look on her face as if she wanted to marry him, Wang Jiesen wisely said goodbye and left.
When they were the only two left in the office, Gao Wen looked at Qin Fan affectionately, "You're so nice!"
Seeing Gao Wen's shy eyes, like a pool of spring water, Qin Fan knew that she was already moved. He thought that since you have put yourself in front of your mouth, it would be too unfair to the readers if you don't eat it.
So he pointed to the inner room and said, "There are some photos in there. Let's go find them."
"Huh? Why did you split the photo into two parts?"
"I originally wanted to keep some of it and take it out to admire your figure when I have nothing to do in the evening. Now that the real person is in front of me, the photo is useless."
Qin Fan pulled Gao Wen into the inner room, which was where he rested temporarily. The bed was not big, but it was more than enough for two people to lie down, not to mention they were not lying side by side.
For the next hour or so, Qin Fan held Gao Wen in his arms and carefully compared her current figure with her figure in the photo to see which one had a better figure.
In the end, they concluded that she was bigger now, which made Qin Fan very satisfied.
After the comparison, Qin Fan taught Gao Wen how to practice putting. This is a technical job and must be practiced over and over again to master the essence of it.
Gao Wen was very enthusiastic about learning and had a very serious attitude. She would scream and dance from time to time because she was too excited.
Qin Fan was also very enthusiastic in teaching, and he tried harder and harder, until it became very strenuous.

……
After Wang Jiesen left Misha, he soon received a call from Xiao Liang.
"Jason, time is running out, I need to meet with you."
"There's no need to meet in person. Just talk on the phone if you have anything to say."
"It's not convenient to talk on the phone, let's talk in person."
"It's not that I don't want to go, I'm just so busy here that I really don't have time to see you."
Xiao Liang also knew that Wang Jiesen was deeply troubled by Gao Wen's situation, so he didn't ask for a meeting again. Instead, he said bluntly, "You gave the video to Qin Fan, right? I hope you can testify on my behalf in front of my father. Of course, I'll give you a large sum of money."
"Mr. Xiao, what are you talking about? Wasn't the video leaked by a thief? How is it suddenly related to Mr. Qin?" Wang Jiesen began to pretend to be confused.
It’s not that he wasn’t tempted by Xiao Liang’s conditions. Of course he would be tempted if someone gave him money for free.
But Qin Fan gave more. The agency invested and held 40% of the shares, and also promised to make Gao Wen famous again in the future.
As long as Gao Wen, this cash cow, becomes popular again, money will roll into his pocket. Wang Jiesen is not stupid, so of course he will not betray Qin Fan and cooperate with Xiao Liang.
Even without talking about the interests involved, once Boss Qin knew that I had betrayed him, the outcome might not be good.
Xiao Liang frowned and said impatiently, "Don't play tricks on me. Just name your price. How much do you want to testify for me?"
"Boss Xiao, you're putting me in a difficult position. This isn't about money at all. The recording has nothing to do with Boss Qin. I just want to make some money, and there's no reason to do it!"
"It seems that you are really determined to follow him all the way to the end. So let it be."
Xiao Liang hung up the phone and looked at the recording on his phone. He was so angry that he wanted to smash the phone.
He had made preparations for both scenarios. If Wang Jiesen agreed to testify for him in exchange for money, everyone would be happy.
If I don't agree and accidentally leak some information over the phone, I can also take the recording back and tell my father the truth.
I didn't expect Wang Jiesen to be so tight-lipped. No matter how I tried to persuade him, he refused to admit that the video had anything to do with Qin Fan. After all the effort, the recorded call was useless.
Hold your breath!
.......
780: Thunderous measures! Xiao Liang surrenders!
When Xiao Liang returned home, he found Xiao Zhendong and Lin Ziliang sitting in the living room, silent, as if they had been waiting for him to come back.
Xiao Liang walked over and said, "Dad, I'm back."
Xiao Zhendong could no longer control his anger. He stood up and slapped Xiao Liang hard in the face.
Seeing his good brother get slapped, Lin Ziliang almost couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, he pinched his thigh in time to divert his attention with the pain, and then hurriedly stood up and grabbed Xiao Zhendong's arm.
"Dad, now that my brother is home, let's talk it over."
"No need for your fake kindness!"
Xiao Liang had no place to vent his anger, and when he saw Lin Ziliang pretending to be sympathetic, he immediately got angry.
His words irritated Xiao Zhendong even more. He couldn't help but cover his chest and lean back, feeling like he could hardly breathe.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Ziliang hugged Xiao Zhendong and helped him sit back on the sofa. He couldn't help but scold Xiao Liang, "Dad's heart has never been very good. Can't you say less and not irritate him?"
Xiao Liang was also startled and quickly bowed his head to apologize, "Dad, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that to Ziliang just now. Please don't get too excited."
Xiao Zhendong took a break and finally felt a little better. He looked at his son with a look of disappointment.
"What did I tell you back then? I told you to stop associating with that female celebrity, but you just wouldn't listen. You ignored my words, and now look what happened. Just the day before yesterday, you publicly admitted your relationship with that female celebrity in front of all the media, and today she's in trouble!"
"Our Xiao family is a well-known and respected family in Shanghai. With such a huge scandal, how can others view our family and our company? You have completely disgraced me!"
"Dad, please listen to my explanation..."
"Don't call me dad, you don't have me as your father in your heart!"
Xiao Zhendong clutched his chest again, feeling a sharp pain in his heart. He struggled to speak, "Your private life has seriously affected the company's operations and severely damaged its image. Before you returned, two shareholders had already expressed strong dissatisfaction with me and were preparing to withdraw their investment."
"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation for this matter, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Although he said it harshly, he was actually giving Xiao Liang a way out.
The implication was that as long as he could find a suitable excuse and come up with a crisis public relations plan, and handle the public opinion crisis properly, Xiao Zhendong would be able to raise his profile high and then let it go easily.
After all, Xiao Liang is his only biological son, and the one next to him named Lin is his successor. No matter how outrageous things Xiao Liang does, Xiao Zhendong will not do anything to him.
Lin Ziliang is still unclear about his own life experience. He always thinks that if he continues to attack Xiao Liang's career, his father will give up Xiao Liang and focus on him instead. In fact, this is just his wishful thinking and will never become a reality.
Xiao Liang sighed, "At this point, I have nothing to hide. I chose Gao Wen to be the spokesperson for Tongling because of her huge traffic and popularity. There was no romance between us. It was just hype."
"Dad, everything I did was to boost the company's sales in the shortest possible time. I didn't expect things to take a turn for the worse and become like this."
Xiao Zhendong's expression brightened, "You said your relationship with Gao Wen was fake?"
"Yes, I kept it a secret from you because I wanted to report to you after I made some progress. I messed up this matter, I'm sorry!"
Seeing Xiao Liang sincerely admitting his mistake, Xiao Zhendong felt relieved. What made him even happier was that his son's relationship with Gao Wen was fake.
Compared to the damage to the company's image, he was more concerned about who Xiao Liang would be with in the future. As for that female star, Xiao Zhendong would never accept her to marry into his family.
"How are you going to deal with this crisis and explain it to shareholders?"
Seeing that Xiao Zhendong's tone had softened a lot, Xiao Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I've already investigated this matter thoroughly. The reason Gao Wen exposed the news of her two-timing was because of her boyfriend, Qin Fan, the chairman of Misia. He was the mastermind behind it."
At the end of his speech, Xiao Liang glanced at Lin Ziliang seemingly unintentionally, which made his heart tighten and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
"It's him?!"
Xiao Zhendong's face was solemn and his eyes were serious.
If this incident was just a coincidence, as long as I decisively terminate the cooperation with Gao Wen and win the sympathy of the public by portraying myself as a victim, I can almost minimize the losses.
As for what kind of treatment Gao Wen would receive, that was not their concern. At most, they could give Gao Wen some money in private to compensate her and make her shut up.
But now, it has been discovered that the mastermind behind this incident is Misia’s boss, and things have become complicated.
"Qin Fan did this because he's obviously dissatisfied with our unilateral suspension of negotiations. He's taking this opportunity to pressure us. Ultimately, he still wants to invest in Tongling."
Xiao Zhendong rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
The crisis the company is facing now is not small, with shareholders withdrawing their investment and its brand image being damaged.
It is foreseeable that sales will be reduced to their original state in the coming period, and may even be worse than two months ago.
Qin Fan did not hesitate to personally break the news, as he could not guarantee that there would be a backup plan waiting for him.
If I am still stubborn and refuse to accept Misha's investment, then the real difficulties are still ahead.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Zhendong asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
Xiao Liang shook his head regretfully. "I verified it with Qin Fan in person, and he admitted it, but there's no solid evidence pointing to him doing it."
Xiao Zhendong's face was full of disappointment. If he had evidence, he could use it to negotiate with Qin Fan, but now it was really difficult to deal with.
"Misha has been targeting me, I'm in trouble now!"
Lin Ziliang sat quietly aside, his nerves tense, not daring to say a word.
He was not sure how much Xiao Liang knew. The meaningful look in his eyes just now made him very uneasy. If he interrupted and Xiao Liang got angry and revealed the news of his cooperation with Qin Fan, he would be in trouble.
The father and his two sons all fell silent, each one more troubled than the other. Without making a living in this industry, they couldn't feel how great Misha's influence was.
As the only luxury giant in the country, shouldering the heavy responsibility of expanding the territory in the luxury goods field, Misia can be said to be a star among stars and a business card of Shanghai.
If Tong Ling continues to be stubborn and fights Qin Fan to the death, their future days will definitely not be easy.
"Dad, I think we should not continue to be hostile to Misia. We can restart the investment negotiations with them."
After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Liang suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Weren't you always against this? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"What I object to is not Misia's investment, but the price they offered is too low and does not match Tongling's market value. After this public opinion crisis, Tongling is now in danger and urgently needs a strong partner to help consolidate our market and brand. Misia is the most suitable choice."
When he was not emotionally involved with Mi Meili, Xiao Liang was a very rational person who put his own interests first in everything.
Although he hated Qin Fan in his heart, he also understood deeply that if he continued to fight with Misha, the biggest loss would be to Tong Ling, which was obviously not worth the loss.
.......
781: Gao Wen is in awe! The big star is so happy, feeling so accomplished!
Another point is that Xiao Liang was not sure what kind of private agreement Lin Ziliang and Qin Fan had, but he was certain that Qin Fan had made some kind of promise to Lin Ziliang, and this promise was most likely related to restarting the negotiations.
Xiao Liang decided to strike first, take control of the negotiations into his own hands, and let Lin Ziliang stand aside.
Taking all these factors into consideration, he suggested to his father that they restart the negotiations.
Xiao Zhendong was very pleased. This incident was not completely without benefits. At least his son had become more mature and rational in dealing with problems.
"I'm glad you think so. In business, there are no friends or enemies. Profit comes first. Those who can bring us benefits are friends, and those who harm our interests are enemies. It's a dynamic quantity that will change as things change."
"I'll leave this matter entirely to you."
"Well, I will try my best to gain more benefits for the company during this negotiation."
Lin Ziliang was dumbfounded. He watched helplessly as Xiao Liang reconciled with his father in just a few words and gained the other party's recognition and attention. Not only did he not remove Xiao Liang's position, but he also gave him the negotiation power.
I work so hard but don't get a penny of benefit. What's the point?
Xiao Zhendong waited at home for most of the day and talked so much with Xiao Liang. He felt extremely tired and went back to the bedroom to rest.
When only the two brothers were left in the living room, Lin Ziliang's expression immediately changed. He slowly clapped and praised.
"I didn't expect you to change so quickly. You even tolerate Boss Qin, who personally caused your plan to fail. I'm really impressed by you!"
Xiao Liang sneered, "Don't think I don't know about your cooperation with Qin Fan. Did he promise you something? Once you get the upper hand in the negotiations, will you quickly reach a cooperation with Misha and let Dad see your 'ability'? Do you think I will let you succeed?"
"I admit that I underestimated you. You were able to handle the crisis so calmly, which was really beyond my expectation. But it doesn't matter. Once Misia invests in Tongling and becomes the second largest shareholder, we can unite and basically you, as the president, will have no chance anymore."
Xiao Liang was furious and rushed forward to grab Lin Ziliang by the collar.
