Yao Shengan didn't expect things to turn out like this at first.
Yao Wenxiao was detained by the police for fifteen days for hiring a hit man. Yao Shengan originally thought that with his position as the chairman of Shengan Group, he could easily bail out his grandson. When I arrived at the police station, I found out that the police had refused Yao Sheng'an's bail on the grounds that the incident of Yao Wenxiao hiring thugs to beat people up had fermented too quickly on the Internet, attracted too much attention from news media, and had caused too bad an impact. Yao Wenxiao must stay in the detention center for a full fifteen days. Family members are not allowed to visit during this period.
Yao Shengan knew that Yao Wenxiao had been pampered since childhood, and was worried that his precious grandson could not endure this hardship, so he instructed the lawyer to find a solution as soon as possible.
However, although the Saint-Ann Group is the leader in the catering industry in Shanghai, it has little influence in Yanjing. What's more, Yao Wenxiao's case was reported by the eldest son of the Li family himself. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Yao Shengan visited people everywhere in Beijing to seek help, even asking some suppliers and partners whose company's headquarters were in Beijing, but in the end he failed to get Yao Wenxiao out in advance.
As a last resort, Yao Shengan had to call Tao Mu, and he still said the same old saying that made people feel sick and tired of hearing it, "…Forgive others when you can. I have seen Mr. Tao's thundering methods. Today I will give up my old face and ask you to let Wen Xiao go. If you agree, I will immediately take Wen Xiao back to Shanghai and never set foot in Beijing again. Let's write off the old things. From now on, Wen Xiao and you, Tao Mu, will naturally have nothing to do with each other. I will no longer pursue the matter of you deliberately setting a trap to frame Wen Xiao."
Yao Shengan was a cunning old man, so he could naturally see that Liu Yao was using a trick to lure someone into a trap when Yao Wenxiao bribed the media to discredit Tao Mu. In his opinion, Yao Wenxiao was so angry after learning the truth that he asked someone to teach Dahui a lesson, but it was just the whim of a young man. Although he acted impulsively, it was understandable.
As for Liu Yao and Tao Mu themselves, they were never taken seriously by Yao Shengan. In fact, if it weren't for the existence of Li Xiaoheng and the Li family, Yao Shengan wouldn't even let Tao Mu go so easily.
In his opinion, even if Tao Mu knew about his past with the Song family, what could he do? This world is a place where "one general's success comes at the cost of thousands of lives." The Song family fell into decline because there was no one in the Song family. Yao Shengan has been able to get to where he is today thanks to his own abilities, and he was able to build the huge Shengan Group from scratch. Naturally, I am not afraid of rumors.
Therefore, even if Tao Mu directly exposed his past with the Song family on Feixun.com, in Yao Shengan's view, it was just to provide some gossip for the common people. A few words spoken against me won’t make me lose face, nor will it affect the position of Saint Ann Group in the industry.
As for Li Xiaoheng's threat, it is a bit troublesome. But the same thing goes, they are in the business world, and the stock market conditions are just icing on the cake. As long as the company runs well, whether the stock price is higher or lower will not affect the company's actual operations.
What's more, no one can tell to what extent Li Xiaoheng can do for Tao Mu. After all, these two people have only been partners who have known each other for less than half a year. How close can we be when we haven't even met each other a few times? Merchants value profit, and anyone would do a favor by simply saying something to support someone, but when the time comes, Li Xiaoheng may not be willing to put up real money to go against him.
Yao Shengan judges others by his own standards, so he is naturally fearless. So when he faced Tao Mu, he did not hide his sense of superiority by bullying others with his power. Even if he asked for peace, he would not give in. The words contain threats and inducements, and they are just bullying the young man because he is poor.
If Tao Mu was really eighteen years old, he would be very angry even at Yao Shengan's attitude. Unfortunately he is not.
"Where did Mr. Tao get this from?" Tao Mu pretended to be suspicious and asked, "Yao Wenxiao hired a thug to beat someone up, which violated the Public Security Punishment Regulations and was detained by the police according to law. Although I feel very happy, this matter is really not something I can control. I am different from your Yao family. Your Yao family relies on your wealth and power to ignore laws and regulations and do whatever they want. I, Tao Mu, am just an ordinary person. I abide by the law and work diligently. I really don't understand what you mean by calling me today?"
Yao Shengan sneered at the words: "Brother Tao, I advise you to quit while you are ahead. Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Do you really think Li Xiaoheng can protect you forever?"
"I don't understand this even more." Tao Mu still smiled, and was so angry that he couldn't bear it: "I am upright and never do anything illegal. Naturally, I don't need anyone to protect me. If Mr. Yao has any means, he can use them. But I advise you here that you are old, and your thinking and behavior are inevitably old-fashioned. But if you still remember the means of destroying people in the past, it won't work now."
But this was the first time Tao Mu mentioned his old grudges with Song Ji in front of Yao Shengan. Yao Shengan's face darkened: "Why, you want to stand up for the Song family?"
"So what if I stand up?" Tao Mu responded sharply: "Mr. Yao has done so many bad things, you can rest easy. The Song family can't. The Song family won't agree to so many lives. Since I recognize Mr. Song as my grandfather, I will naturally fight for the blood debt of the Song family."
"Okay." Yao Shengan laughed in anger: "I want to see how you want to stand up for the Song family, and how you can stand up for the Song family?"
The two of them had a disagreement and parted unhappily.
Tao Mu hung up the phone and went to class. After class, he went to the broadcasting and hosting major next door and asked the teacher to help him find a voice actor who met the requirements. In addition, Tao Mu also wanted to find a teacher with a profound cultural background to help write the copy for the food program "Life in the Market: Food is the First Thing for the People".
Tao Mu founded Feixun.com right after he entered school. Now this seemingly small website is getting bigger and bigger. As the founder, Tao Mu is naturally looked at differently by teachers and students.
What's more, although Tao Mu has a big career, he never misses classes or asks for leave, and his performance in professional courses is excellent. A universal truth in the field of education is that all teachers like hardworking and excellent students. No matter from which aspect, Tao Mu meets this standard.
The teachers who admired Tao Mu very much were of course willing to help Tao Mu solve the problem. But when the teacher of the acting department took over the program plan written by Tao Mu himself and read it through from the beginning, he was a little confused: "Is this a script or a program plan? Do you want to make a TV series or a food show?"
“I just want to make a food show like a reality documentary.”
In Tao Mu's plan, this program revolves around Song Ji, which is located in Houhai Hutong. The job of the program team is to follow Mr. Song's daily life, getting up early to buy groceries, opening the restaurant, cooking ingredients, telling the historical origins of each ingredient, what stories each dish has in history, and then extending it to the guests in the restaurant, what stories each guest has when eating this dish, and even the stories of the neighbors on the street, and finally leading the theme to the restaurant owner Mr. Song, leading to Mr. Song's story.
In Tao Mu's conception, this food show can be made in the form of a unit drama. The reason why Tao Mu did this was to make more audiences empathize with him. In this way, when he calls on netizens to boycott restaurants and hotels under the Saint Ann Group, he can arouse more people's hatred of the enemy.
Of course, this part of the calculation will definitely not be written in the plan.
"Your project is a bit big." With his sensitivity to the profession, the teacher of the acting department immediately realized Tao Mu's ambition: "You want to make a food program with emotion and background. Then you not only need narration and copywriting, you also need screenwriters and actors."
Tao Mu frowned and said seriously: "I didn't think of using professional actors. I think it would be more realistic to let the program crew shoot the stories of the diners. If professional actors were to play the roles, the audience wouldn't have such a strong sense of substitution when they saw those familiar faces."
"But ordinary diners are not good enough in front of the camera. Can they capture the feeling you want?" The acting teacher was very interested in Tao Mu's plan: "I think you can cooperate with the school. You can let your seniors guest star in the show. They are professional actors who have received professional training, but they don't have much acting experience. It completely meets your needs."
The acting teacher seemed to be able to see Tao Mu's concerns and added: "As for the sense of reality and immersion you want, we can completely use the documentary method to shoot this program. You just said reality show, right? We use the stories of diners and let some real diners appear on the show. Afterwards, we can also make a statement that this program is completely adapted from real people and real events. I don't think it will affect the audience's sense of immersion too much. After all, you have to consider that emotional rendering is also part of the sense of immersion."
Tao Mu seemed to be thinking about something. The acting teacher didn't force it: "How about this. You go back and think about it. I'll help you contact the broadcasting and copywriting department first. According to your requirements, ordinary teachers are definitely not qualified for this job. I will find a way to help you contact Mr. Bai Anbai, who used to be a host on the national TV station. His voice is very mellow and vicissitudes, which should meet your requirements for the atmosphere of this program. As for the copywriting, I can introduce you to Pu Lin Cang Pu Lao. He once wrote a series of essays on Beijing snacks. His writing style should be able to meet your needs, right?"
Tao Mu was simply overjoyed, and nodded repeatedly, "That's great. Thank you, Teacher Cen."
Cen Wen waved his hand and said with a smile, "You're welcome. Helping students solve problems is what we teachers should do."
Tao Mu smiled shyly. After coming out of Teacher Cen's office, Tao Mu received a call from Meng Qi: "...Internet Observer wants to interview me?"
"Internet Observer" is a very famous journal in the Chinese Internet industry. As the name suggests, it likes to interpret the development of China's Internet industry from the perspective of Internet development, and then extend it to the development trends of China's business. Because the content of the reports tends to be commercial and entertaining, it is popular among readers and can be said to be a popular science weekly with relatively wide influence.
Tao Mu thought about it and felt that accepting the interview with Internet Observer would be helpful for the promotion of Feixun.com, so he agreed immediately.
Taking Tao Mu's status as a student into consideration, Internet Observer considerately scheduled the interview for 6 o'clock in the evening at the Feixun.com headquarters.
Before starting the interview, the reporter from Internet Observer obtained Tao Mu's consent and took a tour of Feixun.com's headquarters to interview the working environment of other work areas except for the technical department and other confidentiality departments, under the pretext of "increasing publicity for your recruitment."
Because Feixun.com has its own killer weapon, Feixun Entertainment, and as a lesson learned from the more than a dozen colleagues who had discredited Tao Mu, the colleague from "Internet Observer" showed a very friendly attitude from the beginning. The following interview process was naturally a joyful one.
At the end of the interview, the reporter from Internet Observer said they wanted to record a behind-the-scenes segment and ask some light-hearted questions. Most of them are questions from netizens that they collected online.
"Excuse me, Tao Mu, do you have a girlfriend?"
Tao Mu smiled: "No."
"So what's your ideal girlfriend like?"
Tao Mu continued to laugh: "No."
The female reporter from Internet Observer also laughed: "How could there be none? Don't be shy."
"Really not." Tao Mu shook his head. He liked men, so naturally he didn't have an ideal girlfriend. "I just think you shouldn't set too many limits on yourself in this kind of thing. When fate arrives, you will naturally know that it is the one. You said that if you set a lot of conditions in advance, what if the person you meet is different from your description. Or even doesn't meet the requirements at all, what will you do?"
The female reporter from Internet Observer burst into laughter: "Mr. Tao, you are so cunning."
"This is not a question of being treacherous or not." Tao Mu smiled and gave advice to the majority of single dogs: "This is the desire to survive, okay? What if the person you like is particularly jealous? So don't cause trouble for yourself in advance..."
"Okay, last question." The female reporter held up the card and asked, "Some netizens reported that when facing some fans' doubts about the voting process of the National School Beauty and School Prince Selection Contest, Feixun.com chose to take screenshots and publish the background data. As an Internet company, we all know that Feixun.com didn't need to do this. Or you had more choices at the time, such as making a table, or uploading the background data in text form, and there was no need to take screenshots directly. So why did you do this?"
"Why?" Tao Mu rubbed his chin with his slender fingers, pondered for a moment, and said seriously: "That's right, we all know that doubts and arguments have always been an important driving force for the progress of human society. I am not against doubts. In fact, I understand why netizens question this matter. But how should I put it? You can't just question one thing. After questioning, you have to learn to verify. How to verify? Naturally, verify from the source. I think whether it is chasing stars or anything else, you chase any thing, the final result is not only the truth, but also to ensure that you can get something from it. I asked the technical department to directly screenshot and publish the background data, and also asked them to send a tutorial. So you see, some netizens who questioned this matter learned how to understand the background data, and some even taught themselves code and how to check IP. Isn't this good?"
"So what Mr. Tao means is that you do this in the hope that more netizens who are questioning can learn how to trace the source?" The female reporter from Internet Observer held back her laughter. She thought Tao Mu was really funny. Such a blatant revengeful mentality can be expressed in such a high-sounding way: "Are you really not angry about the doubts of those netizens, so you deliberately posted the screenshots in an attempt to look down on those netizens who followed suit and questioned in the field of intelligence and professionalism?"
"Hey, how can you talk like that, young lady?" Tao Mu immediately stopped talking, and pointed his slender finger at the 28-year-old female reporter of the Internet Observer: "You can't slander people like this, am I such a petty person who will take revenge for any slight?"
The word "little sister" made the female reporter tremble with excitement, and the interview ended successfully in a harmonious atmosphere. Tao Mu stood up to see off the people from Internet Observer, and received a call from the CEO of Weibo at the company gate.
"Were you adopted before? When you were five years old, your adoptive parents sent you back to the orphanage on the pretext that they were secretly abusing your younger brother?" Gao Yonghuai got straight to the point and said simply, "Be careful. I received news that someone wants to use this matter to target you."
