Chapter 491: Discuss Together
Xu Tian:...
Yun Moting:...
On the tray were two children's meals.
Piggy custard buns, shrimp sandwich, caramel pudding, chocolate milk, and fruits cut into little hedgehogs.
"What's wrong?" Fengwu raised her eyebrows, "You don't like Western food?"
"That doesn't mean you have to make two the same..." Xu Tian looked at the cartoon color scheme in front of him and suddenly lost his appetite, but he thought children should like to eat these, so he said, "Momo, this was specially made for you by Aunt Fengwu, try it."
Yun Moting's expression was also a bit complicated. It had been a long time since he was treated as a child, and he had never eaten a children's meal. The food in front of him that made him disdainful didn't seem so unacceptable.
He used chopsticks to pick up a custard bun and ate it quietly.
"How does it taste?" Fengwu had no resistance to cute things, let alone a child like Yun Moting whose features had no flaws.
Yun Moting's arrival simply made her maternal love overflow.
"Delicious, thank you, Auntie." Yun Moting swallowed the food in his mouth before speaking.
It was clearly just a very ordinary sentence, but it made Fengwu overjoyed.
"Then shall I make you rabbit bean paste buns tomorrow?"
Yun Moting's hand holding the chopsticks paused in mid-air for a moment, finally nodding.
The morning peak hour was the busiest time of the day in the city.
And at this time, in a private room of a teahouse in the center of Jiang City, a man and a woman sat opposite each other across the tea table.
The man looked to be in his early fifties, in a crisp suit, his hair groomed neatly with hair gel.
The woman opposite him looked to be in her twenties, with a delicate face, but her expression carried sorrow.
The man leisurely held a teacup and tasted the tea, speaking carelessly.
"Qiao Ruoyun, isn't it too late for you to come to me now?"
Qiao Ruoyun rubbed her eyebrows and pleaded in a low voice.
"I can give you other mature planning schemes, can you not snatch the copyright of 'All People's Singer-Songwriter' from me?"
"Not snatch it from you? Hahahaha..." Gu Jin Fang laughed uncontrollably upon hearing this, as if he had heard some funny joke.
After a while, he laughed enough before speaking again.
"Qiao Ruoyun, you've been with me for so many years, and you still haven't made any progress, just as naive as before!"
"If you had begged me a month ago, maybe I could have considered it, but now, it's not that simple for you to want the copyright of this variety show back."
Qiao Ruoyun's face was pale, biting her lip, trying her best to control her emotions.
"I can come back and be a ghostwriter for you again, and the planning can all be under your name, as long as you can give up 'All People's Singer-Songwriter', I only have this one request!"
"Because I have already signed a contract with another company for this variety show, if it really goes to court, it will cause them great losses."
"But what does that have to do with me?" Gu Jin Fang's smile remained unchanged, "You were originally supposed to serve me. 'All People's Singer-Songwriter', and every one of your plans in the future, are mine. You have no right to refuse, you can only cooperate obediently."
Gu Jin Fang was certain that Qiao Ruoyun would compromise; he knew this woman too well, stupid, weak, and easy to handle, otherwise she wouldn't have been a ghostwriter for him for so many years.
For those with money and background in the entertainment industry, reputation might not be the most important thing.
But for ordinary wage earners like Qiao Ruoyun who had no capital to support them, they were destined to work for others for a lifetime.
In fact, Gu Jin Fang still valued Qiao Ruoyun's talent; it was a pity that such a useful tool ran away halfway.
"If you are obedient, maybe before I retire, I can consider promoting you. If you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, don't blame me for making you unable to mix in this line!"
Every word of his was like passing a death sentence on Qiao Ruoyun.
The young woman's body trembled slightly, trying hard not to let tears flow out of her eye sockets.
At this moment, there was only one road in front of her, and it was a dead end that couldn't see any light.
But she knew she had to keep walking, because she had nowhere else to go.
Flourishing Stars Media.
The air pressure in the conference room was very low, and everyone's mood was not high.
"Isn't Gu Jin Fang bullying people too much? Plagiarized your idea and turned around to bite back!" Yan Qingxue felt very indignant for Qiao Ruoyun.
"Sorry..." Qiao Ruoyun was full of shame, "It's me who harmed you, I know your company hasn't been established for long, and now this kind of thing happened..."
"This is not your fault, you don't need to apologize." Yan Qingxue handed over a tissue comfortingly, "By the way, I reminded you to record your conversation, did you take a video or record it?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Ruoyun's face was even more sorrowful.
"No, Gu Jin Fang's guard is very heavy. That teahouse private room was booked by him, and he went there early to wait for me. After I went in, my phone and recording pen were searched by his assistant."
"Unreasonable!" Nie Jingjing was also angry, "Why did they search your body? This is infringing on your privacy!"
"It's useless to say these things now." Yan Qingxue was a bit disappointed, but she knew this couldn't blame Qiao Ruoyun either.
Both sides were going to court, so Giant Star wouldn't leave any handle at this time.
And Gu Jin Fang was known for being old and cunning, how could he make a low-level mistake and let his conversation be secretly recorded.
"Then we can only sit and wait for death?" Nie Jingjing patted the table unconvinced, "For this project, we smashed all the funds and resources we could use!"
"If we really go to court, we won't be able to win." Murong Xue, who was sitting next to her, sighed repeatedly.
The legal team that Giant Star Media cooperated with were all lawyers from the top of the four major law firms in Huaxia, lacking neither experience nor reputation, plus they declared 'All People's Singer-Songwriter' in advance, so the probability of Flourishing Stars winning the lawsuit was close to zero.
"We all have to be mentally prepared." Shang Yiran, who had been silent, spoke. "If we lose the lawsuit, our plan will definitely be terminated, most of the previous investments cannot be cashed out, and it will also cause very great damage to the company's reputation."
The reputation of a new company was the most important, and originally Tian Feng had been suppressing them, if they were labeled with "plagiarism and losing the lawsuit", other companies wouldn't cooperate with them in the future.
"I can clarify this for you!" Qiao Ruoyun said hurriedly, "I will post on Weibo when the time comes, saying this is a dispute between me personally and Giant Star Media, and you didn't know about it."
"Even if you say so, it won't save Flourishing Stars's reputation." Shang Yiran shook his head.
Giant Star wouldn't let go of this opportunity to hype and sell misery, and would definitely buy water armies to smear them.
And now Qiao Ruoyun couldn't produce evidence of the other party's plagiarism and could only let Giant Star turn right and wrong upside down.
"By the way, where is Xu Ge?" Shang Yiran hadn't seen Xu Tian in the company for many days, "What does he mean?"
Yan Qingxue: "I've already told him the whole story, he said he would handle it. I'm not clear about the specifics, let's wait for him to come to the company and then discuss it together."
Shang Yiran: "That's fine, let's take a break first and wait for Xu Ge."
While drinking coffee and resting, Xu Tian pushed the door and walked into the conference room.
"Xu Ge!"
"Mr. Xu!"
Several people stood up to greet Xu Tian.
"Sit down." Xu Tian waved his hand at Yan Qingxue and the others, signaling them not to be particular about these etiquette, "What were you discussing just now?"
"Still the lawsuit!" Yan Qingxue poured a glass of water for Xu Tian by the water dispenser, "We have no way, now we can only rely on you to save the company's reputation."
After Xu Tian appeared, the atmosphere in the conference room was not as tense as before.
Even Murong Xue, who was worried, had a smile on her face. ===== CHAPTER 492 =====
