Tong Yan failed to buy Shangkong Company in the end, so the method used by the butler was to acquire shares.
Shangkong is one of the best companies in the domestic modeling industry and it will not be sold easily, especially to a second-generation rich man like Tong Yan who is a complete layman. It is simply a joke.
Tong Yan didn't want this company much, he just wanted to control Evalyn first.
He felt at ease only when Evalyn was within his control.
Xu Xinduo had just entered the industry and when she met her first rival, Tong Yan, she made a big move to acquire the shares of that other company. If Xu Xinduo encounters other things in the future, what else can Tong Yan do?
He didn't know either, and he didn't think about it carefully. Anyway, he just wanted to kill one of these anomalies first.
Without Xu Xinduo's knowledge, Tong Yan purchased shares and became one of the shareholders of Shangkong Company, to the extent that he had a certain say.
Tong Yan’s first request was to find a new agent for Evalyn.
The housekeeper sent a message asking: Do you want to limit Evalyn's development?
Tong Yan: No, why should we do this? I am one of the shareholders and I also have to make money from this thriving group of models.
Butler: So what do you mean?
Tong Yan: Let Evalyn’s agent keep an eye on her at all times, and then tell Evalyn from time to time, look how great Xu Xinduo is, and then sigh. Don't be too deliberate, otherwise it will accumulate hatred.
Tong Yan knew that a girl like Evalyn, who had high aspirations, hated being outdone by newcomers of the same period.
In Evalyn's opinion, Xu Xinduo was even more of a newcomer, having only participated in training for a few months.
Being outdone by a newcomer was what Evalyn couldn't stand the most. Therefore, it is really the most annoying thing for Evalyn to hear her opponent praising her in front of her from time to time.
Evalyn's contract at Shangkong Company is a long-term one, so she must have been under Tong Yan's control over the years, so he is not afraid of Evalyn causing any trouble.
Tong Yan's method was so simple, hit her where she cared most and keep an eye on her.
After finishing all this, Tong Yan took out a book and started to memorize ancient Chinese texts. His head ached from memorizing them. He remembered that school was about to start and he would go to the Rocketry Class.
He was not familiar with anyone in the rocket class, and he was not allowed to whisper or sleep in class. The course load was fuller than the international class, and he would be forced to live on campus this semester. He felt desperate just thinking about it.
Xu Xinduo went to a dinner party with Brother Zhang.
On the way there, Brother Zhang told Xu Xinduo that he hoped Xu Xinduo could offer him a glass of wine and say some polite words as a way of thanking the editor-in-chief for allowing her to shoot the cover.
Leave a good impression on the editor-in-chief, and maybe you can sign a long-term contract with Li Liya Magazine.
You have to know that before, magazines like Li Liya were resources that Xingyu Model Studio had no access to at all, so Brother Zhang naturally had to seize the opportunity.
Xu Xinduo was a little embarrassed: "I can't drink much. I get drunk after one glass. And I don't drink well either."
"You don't have to drink much, actually. Everyone knows you're a kid, and you're a model, so it's important to stay in shape. Just a little bit of your own appreciation will do. This is a rare opportunity, so you have to seize it."
Xu Xinduo hesitated for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he asked Brother Zhang: "Can I leave after toasting? I'm afraid I'll get drunk and go crazy."
"Okay, sure, leave it to me later."
In fact, this dinner was an occasion where many big names in the fashion industry got together.
There is a fashion show during the day today, with many fashion celebrities gathered. After the fashion show, the organizer organized a drinking party.
The model department of Star Entertainment did not have the qualifications to enter the fashion show, and the dinner was arranged only by Zhang Ge using his connections and backdoors.
When the drinking party started, they didn't dare to go in and could only wait in the corner, like two sneaky thieves. Xu Xinduo kept his hat on his head the whole time and felt very embarrassed.
When the people inside started running around the tables, toasting and chatting, the person Brother Zhang contacted came to the corner and asked Brother Zhang to come in.
Brother Zhang sneaked in with Xu Xinduo. After entering the room, the two of them pretended to be calm, as if they were guests before. After making sure that no one noticed them, Brother Zhang began to look around the venue for Li Liya's editor-in-chief.
The editor-in-chief Li Liya was the focus of this drinking party. There was an endless stream of people toasting her, and many people wanted to make friends with her, even if it was just to improve their friendship level.
Brother Zhang waited for a while, and after making sure that he did not disturb Li Liya's editor-in-chief, he took Xu Xinduo over.
During this time, Brother Zhang was chatting with the editor-in-chief, and Xu Xinduo stood beside them, pretending to be an elegant vase.
Xu Xinduo's look today is just a simple everyday look, a simple long skirt with a jacket over it. With her short hair, she looks quiet and elegant, with an excellent temperament.
The hotel is luxuriously decorated with intricate gold-plated patterns, somewhat imitating the style of the Russian Winter Palace. Xu Xinduo stood in the middle of it, and surprisingly matched the style of the place very well.
Some people just standing there seem to be a painting, as if they came out of the painting, alone and independent.
After seeing Brother Zhang's gesture, she immediately raised her glass and toasted the editor-in-chief, expressing her gratitude. The wine glass she held was champagne. Usually only a little of this kind of wine was poured, and Xu Xinduo only drank some symbolically.
The editor-in-chief did not ask Xu Xinduo to drink more. Instead, he smiled and said that Xu Xinduo was too polite.
Seeing that the editor-in-chief was in a good mood, Brother Zhang chatted with her for a few more words. After chatting for a while, he waved to Xu Xinduo, indicating that she could leave.
Xu Xinduo didn't stay any longer, walked out quickly, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Deyu: I'm out.
Xu Xinduo was afraid that she would make trouble if she drank too much, so she sent a message to Deyu long ago, saying that no matter how she made trouble, she would be tied up and taken home.
Xu Xinduo met Deyu on the way downstairs.
Deyu helped Xu Xinduo walk out, and couldn't help muttering: "You are definitely the worst drinker I've ever seen. I'm not bragging to you. I'm just starting to drink."
Xu Xinduo was still sober at this time, and then sighed: "I don't know what's going on. Does this have anything to do with the stomach? I don't absorb food very well, but I absorb alcohol very well."
"Hey, I don't know about that. Which home should I send you to?"
"Deliver to the apartment building."
As school was about to start, Grandma Xu was sent back to the nursing home by Xu Xinduo, and only she and Tong Yan lived in the apartment building.
She couldn't stand Tong Yan's dishonesty when they were alone, so she sent Tong Yan back to his own home yesterday.
She felt quite comfortable living alone in the apartment building, and it was relatively safe for her to go there after getting drunk, so she could make a scene without causing too much embarrassment.
After Yin Huan finishes her social engagements during the New Year, she will go back to live with Yin Huan.
Deyu was driving fine, but then he saw Xu Xinduo having another attack. Xu Xinduo looked at the route Deyu was driving and started crying and making a fuss, insisting that this was not her home, but that her home was at the villa.
Deyu really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He drove with one hand and pushed Xu Xinduo away with the other: "You asked me to take you to the apartment building."
"My home is over there. I'll show you the way..."
"Okay, okay, no need to point, I know where it is, don't grab my steering wheel! I don't have a boyfriend yet! I have parents and children to take care of."
Deyu succumbed to Xu Xinduo's drunken antics and sent Xu Xinduo to Tong Yan's villa again.
She watched Xu Xinduo stagger into the villa before returning to the car, and at the same time sent a message to Tong Yan: I've sent the young lady to your villa. She's drunk, please take care of her.
Tong Yan: Have you been drinking?
Deyu: socializing.
Tong Yan: I saw her, you go back.
Tong Yan put his phone aside. Seeing Xu Xinduo staggering towards him, he frowned slightly and asked unhappily, "What's wrong with your company? They asked you to attend social events?"
At this moment, Tong Yan really didn't know whether his original decision was right or wrong.
He listened to Yin Huan at the time and let Xu Xinduo go on her own and build a career through her own efforts, and he ignored the matter.
In fact, if Xu Xinduo wanted to be a model, Tong Yan had the ability to buy a company for her, or create a company specifically for her, and give her a first-class team and all the first-class resources.
If Xu Xinduo wanted to compose music, he could also spend money on marketing, create a false prosperity, and promote Xu Xinduo.
But Xu Xinduo was sent to a small affiliated department of the company, watching Xu Xinduo suffer alone. The team was not professional enough and the resources were average. Yin Huan couldn't stand it anymore and contacted resources for Xu Xinduo.
Yin Huan helped to make the connection, and Xu Xinduo was happy to accept it.
But Tong Yan knew that Xu Xinduo would definitely not agree to make such a big investment in a business that had no clue about success.
That's why I'm so angry.
He had already thought about it. He would wait for one year. When the contract expired after one year, if Xu Xinduo still liked this industry, he would make a move.
Now seeing Xu Xinduo coming back drunk, Tong Yan felt even angrier.
He should be tougher and arrange everything for her. Even if she didn't want him to spend money, he didn't care, as long as Xu Xinduo didn't have to work so hard.
With his help, the contract that prohibited her from dating for a year would not have appeared.
angry.
Really super angry.
And also I feel heartache.
No, he had to take Xu Xinduo to terminate the contract now, and he had to pay the penalty!
As a result, Xu Xinduo didn't even take off her down jacket. She walked up to Tong Yan, hugged his waist, and looked at him aggrievedly: "You are mean to me..."
Tong Yan looked at Xu Xinduo and subconsciously swallowed his saliva, his Adam's apple sliding up and down with a huge amplitude.
With these simple words, all his previous anger disappeared, and his tone softened instantly. He supported her and said, "No, I just feel sad to see you like this."
Xu Xinduo raised one hand and measured it in front of Tong Yan, with a gap between his thumb and index finger. Then he whispered, "I just took a sip, but I was too disappointing. It was just a small sip. Tell me, am I allergic to alcohol?"
"Alcohol allergy isn't your symptom, is it?"
Xu Xinduo bury her face in Tong Yan's arms and said, "I feel so lost."
Tong Yan asked softly, "What are you missing?"
"My alcohol tolerance is so poor. Do I have some kind of physical defect? Am I super bad?"
When Tong Yan heard this, he felt his heart melt.
The girl, who was originally strong, suddenly leaned on his arms so softly and acted coquettishly, and he instantly let go of everything.
He wanted to comfort Xu Xinduo, but he noticed that the servants in the villa seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, so he coughed lightly and said, "You all go back to the small building to rest."
Tong Yan's house is designed in a circular shape. Opposite the room where Tong Yan lives, there is a small building where the kitchen and servants live.
The servants left one after another, leaving only Tong Yan and Xu Xinduo in the main villa.
Tong Yan helped Xu Xinduo take off her down jacket, fearing that she would feel hot indoors. He wanted to hang up the clothes, but Xu Xinduo hugged him and refused to let go.
Tong Yan had no choice but to ask her as gently as possible: "Can we hold hands and walk away first?"
"Yeah." Xu Xinduo nodded obediently, and held Tong Yan's hand and went to the entrance. Tong Yan could only hang clothes with one hand, and then took Xu Xinduo to the living room.
He asked Xu Xinduo to sit on the sofa and said to her, "It's not your fault that you can't drink well. You can't control it, right?"
After sitting down, Xu Xinduo quickly let go of Tong Yan's hand, hugged Tong Yan again, leaned in Tong Yan's arms and looked at him eagerly, and asked: "Do you dislike me?"
"I don't mind it, I love it so much."
"I like you, too."
"Yes, I know."
Xu Xinduo instantly became happy, leaned over and gave Tong Yan a quick kiss on the lips, then said to Tong Yan again: "I like you."
Tong Yan was so happy when he was kissed. He didn't get it when he was kissed on the cheek last time, but he got it when he was kissed on the lips this time. He couldn't help laughing when he looked at Xu Xinduo, and then answered gently: "Yeah."
Xu Xinduo quickly kissed him on the lips again, and then said, "I like you very much."
"Me too."
She kissed him a third time and continued to confess to Tong Yan: "I love you so much more."
He looked at the drunken little monster in his arms and actually wanted to sigh: "Xu Xinduo...if you continue like this, I will easily eat you up."
"are you hungry?"
"Ah... not really... I'm just greedy."
Xu Xinduo suddenly let go of him, lowered his head to look at himself, and finally raised his hands to look at himself, as if he was struggling with something.
Tong Yan was really curious, so he lowered his head and asked her, "What are you thinking about?"
"I was wondering where I should give you to eat. Is my hand okay?"
"What about the sudden bloodiness?"
"Because you're hungry."
Tong Yan really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He raised his hand to lift Xu Xinduo's chin, and then kissed her.
After tossing and turning for a while, Tong Yan reluctantly let go of her and said in a suppressed tone: "Open your mouth."
"If I eat your tongue... I can't say I love you..."
