Su Yang frowned slightly, "Our group is too big and has too many subsidiaries. It is easy to violate such a request."
Zhao Licheng obviously took this into consideration, "I mentioned this matter to the other party there. After careful consideration, they thought that this request was indeed unreasonable, so the final result of our discussion was that the only relevant companies were Jiadian Film and Television and Jiadian Agency
Other companies under the two groups are not bound by this contract."
"This drama is produced by Jiadian Film and Television, and the actors are actors managed by Jiadian. Once there is negative news, it will be easily targeted, and it will indeed affect the ratings. So this request is quite reasonable."
"It goes without saying that actors and crew cannot have negative situations. This is considered a rule in the industry."
Su Yang thought about it and thought it was acceptable.
However, he still asked, "How will the contract be executed if there is negative news?"
Zhao Licheng said, "The other party will ask for a lower price, or implement a gambling agreement to reduce risks."
Hearing what Zhao Licheng said, Su Yang felt relieved. With a small nose, Su Yang was extremely reassured about this gambling agreement: the other party may make money, but he will never lose...
After hanging up the phone, Su Yang sent Han Yi a WeChat message and talked about the release date of "Legend of Wu Fu".
Han Yi is very happy. After all, Mango TV has the highest ratings of domestic satellite TV. Premiering on such a platform will greatly improve the ratings and reputation.
Su Yang also gave her a few words of advice and told her about the requirements of Mango and Tianlan Satellite TV. There should be no negative news, and asked Han Yi to pay attention to it.
Han Yi was a little unconcerned. She said that she had just finished filming and was still in a state of self-cultivation and would not go out at all. If this could lead to negative news, then she would admit it.
...
At the same time, in a cafe in the Imperial Capital, a man with squinted eyes was meeting a man in a suit.
If Wang Dong were here, he would probably be able to recognize that this man was the man who had dinner with him at noon.
Compared to the Magic City, the Imperial Capital is relatively far away from Hangzhou, so after meeting Wang Dong first, this man took a flight from the Magic City Airport to the Imperial Capital to meet this man with a sinister look on his face.
"Hello. This is Mr. Gu Chong, right?" The middle-aged man said hello and handed him the menu, "We are not in a hurry, you can order first."
The man with narrowed eyes was not polite at all. He smiled and said, "Okay. Let me take a look." Then he took the menu and started ordering.
Facing this narrowed eyes, the middle-aged man was obviously more polite, which also meant that in the hearts of the Wang family, the person in front of him probably held more valuable information than Wang Dong.
After ordering the food and waiting for the waiter to go out, the middle-aged man asked, "I heard that you have evidence of tax evasion by Jiadian Agency? And there is also dirty information about their artists and company?"
He narrowed his eyes and said without hesitation, "Of course. I am an old employee of Jiadian Brokerage Company. I know a lot."
The middle-aged man took out a piece of information and read, "Gu Chong. The exclusive manager of former third-tier star Luo Yi (the former male star) and the artist team leader of Xinyi Agency. Later, Luo Yi was arrested for breaking the law.
He was caught, and his status in the company plummeted. Later, Jiadian Group conducted a unified assessment, but he failed the assessment and was demoted again."
After hearing the man's information about himself, he narrowed his eyes and his face turned red and white for a while. But he was obviously a gloomy person, so he laughed twice and said, "Your information is really detailed."
He said very frankly, "Yes. That's right. I was just an agent at first, and later I was an ordinary employee. But after all, Luo Yi was the backbone of the company before, so I know many things."
The middle-aged man said nothing, but took out a check from the inner pocket of his clothes and placed it in his squinting hand.
I squinted and took a look, the amount was 200,000.
His eyes lit up, but he still said, "Not enough."
Middle-aged man, "This is a deposit. If your information is of sufficient value, we will add money."
He narrowed his eyes and swallowed, then hesitated and said, "I am 100% sure that Jiadian Brokerage Company evaded taxes."
"Han Yi, you know, right?"
The middle-aged man nodded slightly.
Narrowing his eyes, he said, "In order to lure Han Yi back, the company spent fifteen million on Sister Mi to redeem Han Yi's body. But the money did not go out of the company's accounts."
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up slightly, "Oh?"
He carefully looked around with squinted eyes, then turned around and closed the window, and then whispered, "I heard that Mr. Su paid the money privately and transferred it to Han Yi, and asked Han Yi to take the money himself.
Termination of contract.”
The middle-aged man was confused and asked, "What kind of tax can this save?"
He narrowed his eyes and said proudly, "I didn't understand it at first. But then I suddenly realized. They should have reached an agreement with Sister Mi, used private accounts, and deducted the tax from the total amount."
"That is to say, originally they may have negotiated a termination fee of 16-17 million, but now the money is transferred privately, and it is only 15 million."
"This is still tax evasion that is changing directions!"
The middle-aged man had a look of surprise on his face, which made sense.
Narrowing his eyes, he continued, "In addition, there are also problems with many of the company's accounts. I heard that before, the company gave Han Yi more than one million yuan without any reason."
The middle-aged man said "Huh?" again, "No reason?"
He narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Yes. It's very strange. He suddenly called 1 million and said it was for daily use. Do you think it's strange?"
After speaking, he added, "The two things I just mentioned are recorded in the company's accounts or online. You can find them out by checking."
"In addition, there are some news that I have inquired or guessed privately. The TV series Han Yi participated in was invested by Jiadian Film and Television, and it was said that the total investment was more than 200 million. But how could it be more than 200 million."
"The starring role in that TV series is also Han Yi. I suspect that there is something wrong with the remuneration given to her. Maybe it is money laundering."
"And Yang Meiyue, the company must have spent money for her to participate in the "101 Creation Camp", otherwise it wouldn't be so highly praised. But this kind of money will definitely not be recorded in the account, so she will also take extra money."
"As long as we check, we should be able to find out."
The middle-aged man asked, "Do you have any evidence for these two?"
He narrowed his eyes and hesitated for a moment, then said, "Does the recording count? I have recordings of discussing these topics with my colleagues."
The middle-aged man obviously frowned slightly, looking dissatisfied.
Seeing this with squinted eyes, he smiled and said, "If you feel it's not enough, I can also come forward to testify."
"The testimony of an old employee who has worked in the company for five or six years should be of great value, right?"
"But...you need to pay more."
"After all, it is the place where I have worked for five or six years. I also have feelings for it."
A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, "Okay."
While the two were chatting, the waiter opened the door and walked in with the dishes. Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man greeted him with narrowed eyes, "Come, let's eat first. After the meal, we will chat slowly..."
...
While narrowing his eyes to make a choice, Wang Dong, on the other side of the magical city, also made his own choice.
He lay on the bed in the small rental house, hugged his girlfriend, and whispered everything that happened at noon today.
After hearing what Wang Dong said, his girlfriend was not surprised, but asked calmly, "Then... what do you think?"
Wang Dong smiled bitterly, "What else can I think? I'm tempted."
"After all, that's one hundred thousand yuan. With that money, we will at least live a much more comfortable life."
The girlfriend obviously knew Wang Dong very well. She leaned gently on Wang Dong's chest and said, "Then why didn't I see you get the money back?"
Wang Dong was silent...
After a moment, he smiled again, but the smile was relaxed, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
My girlfriend shook her head, "No."
She whispered, "People must have a conscience."
"He was the one who brought you up in the first place. He gave you full trust and a high position."
"Then you left, it was your own choice."
"I had a big argument with you at that time, and I didn't agree with your choice. But you didn't listen and went your own way."
"So now that you are like this, you can't blame him, you can only blame yourself."
Wang Dong sighed, "Yes. At that time, I thought too highly of myself. I thought I was very capable and could develop well even if I left him."
The girlfriend shook her head, "It's not that you think too highly of yourself. It's that you were blinded by money at that time."
"Do you know why I was so disappointed?"
"Because I think you can leave him at the most difficult time because of money. In the future, you may abandon me because of money."
"I don't mind if you leave your job and look for better opportunities."
"But... you can't leave a friend who trusts you when he needs you the most, or even join his opponent's banner. That is already considered a 'betrayal'."
Wang Dong was silent again.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, her girlfriend did not continue. She crawled into Wang Dong's arms, got into a comfortable position, and then said, "However, this is not a bad thing. At least you changed later and became
We have become mature and stable. Although we are not as rich as we were then, our life is more secure."
Wang Dong smiled.
Then he said, "I just feel very sorry for you."
The girlfriend shook her head and said, "There's nothing I'm sorry for. There was a time when I couldn't stand the pressure and wanted to leave you."
"What's more, during the year we worked for Mr. Su, we still saved hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is much better than when we first fell in love."
"So don't think too much about it. Don't make any more money that is unconscionable. You will feel guilty for the rest of your life. Let it be the past and let us start over."
Hearing his girlfriend's words, Wang Dong nodded, looked at the window on the top of the rental house, which was only as big as a rag, and said softly, "Actually, it's not over yet, at least... I still owe him."
After looking at the scenery outside the window for a long time (in fact, he couldn't see anything, it was pitch black), Wang Dong took out his mobile phone and said, "However, I told him about this matter. It can repay the debt I owe him for leaving him in the first place.
"
"Although it may not be enough, it is the greatest help I can do."
"From now on, we don't owe each other anything. Only then can we truly start over..."
After listening to Wang Dong's words, his girlfriend nodded slightly and held his hand.
For a moment, the small rental house felt extremely warm.
...
When he received Wang Dong's call request, Su Yang was watching the stars with a few little monsters in the sky garden on the third floor.
Socot Island is located in the Hawaiian Islands. It is not an industrial base and is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. There is no pollution, so the starry sky is very beautiful.
When Su Yang was in the countryside, he would often look up at the stars in the yard, but after coming to the Magic City, he might not be able to see them once a week, probably due to air problems. Even if he could see them, they were not particularly clear.
It was rare to be entertained today, so Su Yang took Xiaodi, Gulu, Xiaoha, Qingzhu and the others to count the stars together.
"Look, this is called the Big Dipper." Su Yang introduced, pointing to the spoon in the sky.
Xiao Ha yawned, "Isn't that eight?"
Su Yang, "The eighth one is Taibai Star."
Xiaoha, "Then why isn't it in the Big Dipper?"
Su Yang:...
"Because it wants to! If you don't want to see it, get out!"
Xiao Ha curled his lips and gave Su Yang a husky gaze. It felt that Su Yang was even more irritable than him, a professional in house demolition.
Su Yang glared at it, then pointed at the two stars in the sky and explained casually, "Look, that's Altair. That's Vega."
Gulu, Qingzhu held their cheeks, opened their eyes wide, nodded in understanding, and made echoing sounds of "Oh~" and "Gu~" in their mouths.
Only Xiaodi smiled quietly, and then did not expose it, imitating their appearance, and "study" seriously.
Just when the atmosphere was extremely comfortable and everyone felt like a family, suddenly, the sound of a WeChat call sounded in Su Yang's ears.
Su Yang picked up the phone and took a look at it, and was stunned: Wang Dong?
What a strange yet familiar name.
It's been a long time since I heard this name...
It has been almost a year since this happened. What did he want to do with me?
With this in mind, Su Yang answered the call.
When the call was connected, Su Yang didn't speak, and Wang Dong didn't speak for a while. The atmosphere became strangely quiet.
After a moment, Wang Dong spoke up on the other end of the phone, "Su, Mr. Su. I'm Wang Dong."
Su Yang said "Yeah", "I know."
In the rental house, listening to Su Yang's cold voice, Wang Dong sighed in his heart.
At the moment when he made the call, he had thought about whether he could take this opportunity to "reunite" with Su Yang. But when he heard Su Yang's voice, he understood: some things, some hurts, cannot be overcome.
forgiven.
So he no longer had any illusions or wanted to reminisce about the past, but whispered to Su Yang about the matter with the Wang family.
After that, he said goodbye to Su Yang and hung up the phone without hearing Su Yang's reaction.
Su Yang, who was on the other end of the phone, looked confused: What? What was Wang Dong doing? Why did he just say hello, be quiet for a while, and then hang up? Is he ashamed?
