308: Full-time grandson, filial piety is strong
After the engagement was cancelled, Wen Yiyi and Shen Yan got along more naturally, because she no longer used the standards of "fiancé" to demand Shen Yan.
Now, Shen Yan is just the boss of Shengshi to Wen Yiyi, the one who helps her make money. Shen Yan probably thinks so too. Wen Yiyi's account was signed with Shengshi, and Shen Yan didn't give her any preferential terms. He signed her the same way he signed other anchors. Wen Yiyi was really angry about this.
Signing fee?
Of course not. Wen Yiyi's account now only has investments but no returns, so how can she be qualified to ask for a signing fee!
Wen Yiyi was also not satisfied with the profit sharing ratio. When Chen Yan and Tangtang signed the contract, the profit sharing ratio was very favorable to Tangtang, but when it was Wen Yiyi's turn, she took a very high commission... Chen Yan would not indulge Wen Yiyi. When "Shengshi" signed Tangtang, Tangtang was already a big internet celebrity, but Wen Yiyi was not!
Wen Yiyi said that Tangtang couldn't sell goods through live streaming now, and Chen Yan looked at her as if she was a fool.
Tangtang is about to give birth, and a bunch of maternal and infant brands have come to "Shengshi", wanting Tangtang to help promote their products!
At first, Chen Yan also felt that signing Tangtang was a loss, and the benefits did not meet expectations, but now he has figured it out and has the patience to wait for Tangtang to return after giving birth.
Unable to get a higher share of the profits, Wen Yiyi asked Chen Yan for resources.
Using short dramas to attract traffic like Xu Yao did was just Wen Yiyi's idea. If Chen Yan disagreed, Wen Yiyi would make other requests. Anyway, the contract had been signed, so the company's resources would be wasted.
Seeing Chen Yan still hesitant, Wen Yiyi asked him: "Are you afraid that Xu Yao will have ideas? Even if Shengshi doesn't imitate it, other MCN companies will imitate it..."
Chen Yan shook his head: "No, I think your account cannot completely copy the style of Xu Yao's. What suits her may not suit you."
Wen Yiyi was overjoyed, "Do you really agree?"
Shen Yan nodded.
What's there to disagree with? Even if Shengshi doesn't imitate, other MCN companies will.
Chen Yan doesn't want to do the short drama business, but he is not opposed to using short dramas to help attract traffic for the company's contracted anchors.
Wen Yiyi left the office with a happy look on her face, and the other employees were really confused.
They also heard that Wen Yiyi and Shen Yan had broken off their engagement. The employees thought that the two would never have any contact with each other again, but they didn't expect Wen Yiyi to appear in the company as usual and still talk and laugh with Shen Yan. Ordinary people really don't understand the world of rich people!
The employees of Shengshi don't understand Wen Yiyi, and Shen Yan's assistant Li Kai doesn't understand Shen Yan's thoughts either.
Shen Yan asked Li Kai to investigate Jason, and Li Kai went to investigate.
Fu Hong's previous promotion of Jason focused on his reputation as a "genius painter" and his paintings. Jason's personality made it difficult for him to accept public interviews, so Fu Hong kept him secret. Jason didn't even have a public photo, so how could Li Kai find out?
Chen Yan knew that the trouble Xu Yao encountered was related to Gu Jun, so he asked Li Kai to dig up the connection between Gu Jun and Jason. Li Kai had no choice but to carefully read all the news reports after Gu Jun made his identity public.
This time, Li Kai actually found something.
Gu Jun's speech at the school was filmed and uploaded to the Internet. One of the videos was the most complete, allowing Li Kai to see the young people in the guest seats.
The young man was wearing a hat but his appearance was still captured by the high-definition camera at a certain moment.
Li Kai took the video screenshot to Chen Yan and said, "This young man looks exactly like Mr. Gu."
Li Kai suspected that the young man who looked like Gu Jun was the painter Jason. If that were the case, everything would make sense. It was precisely because Jason and Gu Jun were related that Huahu invested money and resources in promoting Jason, and even Jiang Zhiyan cooperated...
"But what does this have to do with Xu Yao?"
Chen Yan looked at the video screenshots that Li Kai brought, and didn't understand why Gu Jun had to bring Xu Yao into the matter of his family, even though they were both divorced!
Then, Chen Yan laughed at himself again: What is there to not understand? Isn't it because Xu Yao has no one to rely on?
Those people didn't have the courage to mess with Gu Jun, so they just targeted Xu Yao.
Shen Yan had no interest in Gu Jun's family affairs, but he found them irritating. The Gu family was harassing Xu Yao, just as Guo Xianzhen had once done to her. He had failed to protect her then, but now he could make amends.
"Li Kai, keep investigating! I want to know what happened to the Gu family."
Li Kai felt more bitter than if he had taken Coptis chinensis: "If we continue to investigate, there's a high possibility that we'll alert Mr. Gu."
The worse the background of a person, the more demanding they become once they gain power. Li Kai didn't want to continue offending Gu Jun.
Chen Yan was very persistent: "It's okay, I'll check it if I ask you to. I'll cover it for you if there's anything."
Li Kai agreed reluctantly and continued to work.
…
Before Chen Yan could figure out the family relationships on Gu Jun's side, Jiang Zhiyan had already helped Old Lady Jiang pack her luggage.
Jiang Zhiyan promised Gu Jun that he would take care of the matter with Old Lady Jiang. As soon as Gu Jun got on the plane, Jiang Zhiyan rushed into Old Lady Jiang's house in South City with a group of bodyguards.
"Hurry up and pack all of the old lady's things in half an hour. And be careful not to damage her things!"
Jiang Zhiyan waved his hand, and more than twenty bodyguards scattered and rushed to every corner of the house.
Old Mrs. Jiang was caught off guard by Jiang Zhiyan.
"Zhi Yan, what are you going to do?"
Jiang Zhiyan smiled and said, "Have someone help you pack your luggage. You've lived in South City for so long, don't you want to leave your grandchildren in East City?"
Mrs. Jiang's face darkened: "I didn't say I was leaving!"
Jiang Zhiyan's smile remained unchanged. "I know you can't bear to leave me. Don't worry, I will accompany you back to East City."
Mrs. Jiang was suspicious. "Hua Hu is so busy, do you have time to go back with me? Even if you have time, I didn't say I wanted to leave."
"How can Huahu's affairs be more important than my filial piety? Grandma, I'm planning to resign from my position at Huahu and sell my Huahu shares to Gu Jun in batches. Anyway, I can't spend all the money I'm going to cash out in my lifetime, so why should I work so hard! From now on, I'll stay in Dongcheng with you. I'll be your driver wherever you want to go, and I'll learn to cook whatever you want!"
Jiang Zhiyan confused Old Mrs. Jiang.
Old Mrs. Jiang was still hoping to swallow up the entire Huahu through Jiang Zhiyan, but Jiang Zhiyan wanted to sell all the existing shares under his name?
Old Mrs. Jiang was so angry at Jiang Zhiyan's outrageous behavior that she felt dizzy.
After taking several breaths, Mrs. Jiang came back to her senses: "Are you blaming me for not interfering in Gu Jun's family affairs?"
Jiang Zhiyan resolutely refused to admit it, "I just want to fulfill my filial piety! My parents are gone, and I want to add my filial piety to theirs."
No matter what Old Lady Jiang said, Jiang Zhiyan had to send her away today, and he had to escort her personally.
Old Lady Jiang scolded Jiang Zhiyan for wanting to rebel. The bodyguards around Old Lady Jiang wanted to confront the people Jiang Zhiyan brought with him, but Jiang Zhiyan was not afraid at all: this is South City, and the Jiang family does not have much say here. As long as he insists on sending the old lady away, no one can stop him.
In the past, Jiang Zhiyan was bound by the word "filial piety", but now that he has let go, he finds that it feels so good to do things without any constraints!
Besides, he is not unfilial now. He is going to be a "full-time grandson" and serve the old lady 24 hours a day. Who dares to say that he is unfilial?
