"Of course, you still need to consider this yourself."
Editor Wang calmed down immediately. As text editors, they knew very little about the entertainment industry, even though adapting the novel "Parents" into a TV series would have a positive impact on their magazine.
But everything has two sides; what if this company is unreliable?
Not only will Liu Zi be implicated, but they will also be condemned. This matter really needs to be handled carefully.
"Then I'll give you their contact information, and we can contact each other again if there are any further questions."
"Thank you, Editor Wang." Liu Zi thought her editor was quite adorable.
"You're welcome. Hello, your work is good, and we're all good." Editor Wang wasn't angry; on the contrary, he admired Liu Zi's composure. How many writers could remain as calm as she was upon hearing such good news?
"Um!"
Liu Zi believes there is a reason why the "Reading" magazine was able to survive for so long despite the impact of online media.
Since "Parents" is getting so many readers, it seems she can finish the manuscript as soon as possible.
There are no permanent secrets among media companies; once someone makes the first move, it will inevitably trigger a chain reaction.
Liu Zi had previously planned to have her own company remake her work, but now she has other ideas.
Her fame is not enough. The fact that her songs are popular does not mean that her works are popular. This requires a process of acceptance.
If you want a film to be good, strong financial support is essential. You have to show investors the return on investment before they will invest. That's the reality.
After all, investors in the entertainment industry are known for being cautious.
Liu Zi now wants to use the novel "Parents" as a stepping stone, so choosing a suitable media company has become very important.
Liu Zi thought for a moment, but she didn't have much of an impression of the media company that Editor Wang had mentioned, so she figured it wasn't a big company.
Later, she simply forgot about it.
Liu Zi's life was busy and peaceful, but things were in complete chaos at the Zhao family's place.
After two months of investigation, the prosecution team finally obtained key evidence of Zhao Qian's bribery and acceptance of bribes.
The company he used to work for also filed a lawsuit against him for embezzling public funds.
The court, in cooperation with the prosecutor's team and the security team, directly seized all of Zhao Qianming's assets.
The villa was purchased with funds from Zhao Qian and is also within the scope of the seizure.
The court has issued multiple eviction notices, but Old Lady Zhao ignores them and continues to live there with her grandson.
That morning, several buses suddenly arrived outside the peaceful villa area.
They stood in front of the Zhao family villa, dressed in uniforms and holding documents, and then knocked on the door.
Granny Zhao was still wondering why her relatives from her hometown had come again, since they had just left.
But when she opened the door, she found a different group of people. Seeing that the situation was not good, she wanted to close the door immediately.
However, they were already on guard and immediately stopped it.
Granny Zhao shouted in a panic, "Who are you? How dare you trespass on my property! I'll report you to the police!"
"The security team has arrived. Open the door immediately, or we will enforce the order."
The middle-aged man who led the group had a loud voice, which immediately intimidated Granny Zhao.
Granny Zhao hesitated for only two seconds before the door was pushed open again, and the crowd filed in, filling the entire hall.
"Now I will read out the court's decision to seize the assets in the case of Zhao Qian's embezzlement of public funds, based on..."
Granny Zhao had never seen anything like this before. She shrank back on the sofa in fear, trembling uncontrollably.
"...We are now sealing off Zhao Qian's villa and related facilities here in accordance with the law. Report complete."
"Yun Shufen, did you understand?" the middle-aged man reading the report asked.
"ah?"
Granny Zhao looked completely bewildered.
She was barely literate, and she didn't understand a word of this stilted speech.
At this moment, a young man came over and explained, "Because your son committed an economic crime, we are taking this villa away. You have to move out with your grandson and can no longer live here."
"No, this is my house, and no one can make me move." Only then did Granny Zhao understand what was going on; all these people had come to take her house!
"This house was bought with money your son embezzled. Now that people are coming to demand compensation, of course you have to vacate the house!" the young man continued to explain.
"I don't care! All I know is that this is the house my son bought for me, and none of you can take it away!" Granny Zhao sat down on the ground as if she were being unreasonable, and immediately started wailing.
My son!
Why aren't you back yet?
Zhao Gang and I are being bullied to death!
Zhao Gang was playing games upstairs and lost again. Frustrated, he heard noises coming from downstairs and stormed out of his room.
Upon seeing the scene downstairs, her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground.
Do these people think that arresting only the father isn't enough, and they also want to arrest him and his grandmother?
“Yun Shufen, you don’t need to use this. We’ve already investigated and found out. You still have a property in your hometown, so you and your grandson won’t be homeless. You need to think this through. You’re still carrying a criminal record. If it weren’t for the fact that Zhao Gang is a minor and has no guardian to take care of him, you would have been arrested long ago. Do you think you can get away with selling your own granddaughter without being sentenced?”
The middle-aged man did not lose his original judgment because of Granny Zhao's tantrums and unreasonable behavior. He had seen many old women like this and dealt with them many times.
Granny Zhao's voice suddenly caught in her throat, and she could no longer make a sound.
"And you need to think this through. If your son can return all the assets, the court will consider reducing his sentence. Do you want your son or the money? Think it through carefully." The middle-aged man used both threats and inducements, not afraid that the old lady wouldn't give in.
As it turns out, Granny Zhao still cared about her son, and he was quite important to her.
She shakily got up from the ground and bowed to the middle-aged man.
“I’m sorry to the government. This is all my fault. I’m leaving with my grandson right away. Please don’t blame my son. His wife has run away. He’s so pitiful.”
Those who initially felt sorry for the old woman turned away in disgust upon hearing this.
The news had spread throughout their system: the old woman had maliciously switched her eldest daughter, born to her former daughter-in-law, with the son born to her mistress, and the switch had gone undetected for six years.
What's even more shocking is that they actually sold the child to a remote mountain village. In their eyes, the mother and child were worse than pigs and dogs.
Granny Zhao clearly sensed that the way people were looking at her was strange. She rolled her eyes, said "I'm going upstairs to pack my things," and ran away.
They can't seize her money when they seal up the villa, especially her gold and silver jewelry, which are worth a lot of money!
She has to take everything with her, leaving nothing behind.
