After listening to Zhang Damao's story, even Xiao Weiguo, who was well-traveled and had experienced countless events in his life, was stunned.
What kind of era is this? How can such a farcical forced pairing still happen?
Zhang Damao truly deserves to be called a genius director; even his life is so dramatic.
However, if you put yourself in Zhang Damao's shoes, you really wouldn't have any good ideas.
In those kinds of places, legal awareness is weak, and ordinary people don't consider the law at all when they do things.
Besides, when it comes to matters between men and women, once something goes wrong, regardless of who is right or wrong, the man is always the primary suspect.
Even if you did nothing wrong, if a woman insists that you harassed her, most people will believe her, but not the man.
Xiao Weiguo felt sorry for Zhang Damao; how could he have gotten himself into such a ridiculous and absurd situation?
No wonder he looked so haggard when he arrived; anyone who had encountered something like this would feel disgusted for a lifetime. He was already incredibly lucky that Zhang Damao was alive to come see him.
"Director Zhang, what are your plans for handling this matter in the future?"
If the matter continues unresolved, Xiao Weiguo is also worried about Zhang Damao's condition.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Damao sighed and said helplessly.
"Sigh, what else can I do? I'll just not go back. The sky's the limit, what can they do to me?"
"What about your parents?"
As a son, it's impossible to never see your parents again. Through birth, aging, sickness, and death, they only have Zhang Damao as their son. When he can no longer walk, someone will have to take care of him.
Zhang Damao looked up at Xiao Weiguo, hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to speak.
"Chairman Xiao, I was just about to ask you for a favor. Do you think you could find a way to secretly bring my parents out? Don't worry, I will work for you wholeheartedly from now on and earn more money to support my parents."
Zhang Damao's personal abilities are currently insufficient to support his family of three in the city.
Besides, if we really bring the old man here, let alone food, accommodation will be a huge problem. We can't just let him sleep on the streets.
After hearing what he said, Xiao Weiguo thought about it seriously for a moment and shook his head.
"Director Zhang, this can't go through."
Zhang Damao thought Xiao Weiguo didn't want to help, which made him even more frustrated.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. I haven't done anything for them, so why should they help support my parents?
I have no obligation to do that.
"I'm sorry, Chairman Xiao, I was rash and shouldn't have made such a request."
Seeing that he had been misunderstood, Xiao Weiguo quickly waved his hand and said.
"Director Zhang, it's not that I don't want to help you. With your talent, finding you a house here to settle your two elderly relatives wouldn't be a problem at all. I wouldn't suffer any loss, but..."
Xiao Weiguo paused for a moment, then continued.
"But have you considered what the consequences would be if the two elderly people found out after we brought them here?"
Zhang Damao thought about it carefully and realized that Xiao Weiguo was right.
Once the two elderly people are brought here and discovered, people will immediately understand that he is preparing to move his whole family to the city and never intends to come back.
If Wei Changqing and Wei Yulan find out, will they let it go?
What will I do when they come with their pregnant wife, Wei Yulan, to make a scene?
It was unclear before, and it will remain unclear in the future.
Wei Changqing dared to let him leave without worry because he had already thought everything through and left him no way out.
Upon realizing all this, Zhang Damao was dumbfounded.
Is my life really ruined?
If he couldn't get rid of that woman, what hope did he have for life? Just thinking about that mountain of flesh that could crush him half to death made Zhang Damao want to die.
"Chairman Xiao, what should I do?"
Zhang Damao was tearing at his hair in anguish, looking utterly hopeless.
This matter is indeed very troublesome. If it is not dealt with now, it will be even more difficult to handle once Zhang Damao becomes famous.
If news breaks that he abandoned his wife and children, not only will Zhang Damao be finished, but his entertainment company, which hasn't even opened yet, will probably go under as well.
Others may not know the power of public opinion, but Xiao Weiguo, who has lived a lifetime, certainly does.
But what can be done to deal with this now?
Unless Wei Yulan comes to her senses and lets Zhang Damao go, no one else can interfere in this matter.
Even if Xiao Weiguo has extraordinary abilities, he can't just kill an entire family, can he?
Is it possible to get Wei Yulan to give up voluntarily?
Her family went to such great lengths to keep Zhang Damao under control; how could they possibly let him go so easily?
After thinking it over and over, Xiao Weiguo couldn't come up with any way to help Zhang Damao solve this problem.
"Director Zhang, now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time. Try not to go back anytime soon. Try to resolve the conflict between you and see if there are any opportunities later."
Zhang Damao had no choice but to settle down and work for Xiao Weiguo for a while to see if things would take a turn for the better. There was no point in thinking about it now.
"well."
He let out another heavy sigh. Zhang Damao looked up and said.
"Alright then, I'll do as Chairman Xiao says. Let's put this matter aside for now. So, what do I need to do next?"
I'm here to work, not for leisure and tourism, so I need to have some work to do.
Xiao Weiguo nodded. He was very pleased that Zhang Damao was able to put this matter aside for the time being and take the initiative to bring up work.
"Director Zhang, what you need to do right now is to use your connections in the industry to recruit a group of professional talents for our soon-to-be-established company, such as photographers, screenwriters, music producers, musicians, performance agents, stage lighting technicians, and so on. I promise that as long as the technical skills are up to standard, I will offer everyone the highest salaries in the country once the company is officially operational. I will join as the chairman of Panlong Group, so please believe me on this point."
In any industry, to attract talent, the first thing to consider is the company's development prospects, and the second most important thing is, of course, high compensation.
Given the right funding, Zhang Damao, with his keen eye and ability, could definitely find a group of professionals who would surprise him.
Xiao Weiguo had never run an entertainment company in his previous life and knew very little about the talent in this field, so he could only entrust the task to Zhang Damao.
Without a second thought, Zhang Damao nodded in agreement.
The international entertainment industry is currently in a slump, and many talented people have no opportunity to shine. Even if a few manage to find a way to showcase their talents, they are quickly poached by famous entertainment companies from Taiwan and Hong Kong.
There's nothing we can do; they started earlier, and in this aspect, we do have a significant gap compared to them.
Therefore, many talented people in China who aspire to this field are mostly unsuccessful. Zhang Damao is an insider and understands the current situation.
Finding such talent through university classmates and television station connections wouldn't be difficult.
"Okay, Chairman Xiao, I will do my best in this matter, so don't worry."
