Chapter 12
byChapter 12
The studio was in a state of hustle and bustle.
Of course, W&P's cooperation negotiations were a big deal. Yutang was in the middle, and when allocating work, all departments were busy working step by step, and there were no mistakes.
But at the last step, Assistant Yu was unable to come forward due to physical reasons.
Various departments held urgent meetings, and everyone was so anxious that sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Sui Si is talented, has the resources to keep up, has the strength, and has a high enough status in the circle.But the big tree attracts the wind, and I don’t know how many opponents are watching secretly.
What's more, Sui Si's contract is about to expire and he is planning to terminate the contract completely with the company.The company hopes that Sui Si will suffer a few losses at this time and come back as a cash cow.
"The company said they couldn't match the time and couldn't send an agent."
The person in charge of contact met with obstacles at every turn. He put down the phone and couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "The agent has no schedule. Is there any time that cannot be adjusted..."
"It's the studio's own project after the negotiation, and it has nothing to do with the company. If we can't negotiate, we will be disappointed. We will just go back to the company and listen to the arrangements." The person next to him said, "Will you really help? Just find an excuse and just send it away.Yes, wasn’t it always like this before?”
The phone rang one after another, and several of Sui Si's oldest ministers shuttled back and forth, looking at each other and sighing heavily tacitly.
Of course it was like this before.
Sui Si himself looked down on the entertainment and social aspects of the entertainment industry and disdained the management of personal connections. The company looked on coldly and only watched the jokes. Every time he wanted to gain some resources, it was difficult to find anyone willing to help.
During that initial period, the studio was met with cynicism and rejection, and many people had actually considered resigning and looking for new bosses.
Those who work in studios with Sui Si are all very capable. If they change jobs at any time, they don't have to suffer injustice, and they may not be able to get a more generous salary than they are now.
It was Yu Tang who stepped forward to take over this mess, opening doors in the circle bit by bit, chatting privately with each of them, persuading them to stay, and doubling their year-end bonuses.
But the documents for dismissing Assistant Yu have passed through the secretarial department and are about to officially go through the studio process.
It has been a troubled time. Although the operation of the studio can still be barely maintained, the storm is coming, and the successive accidents are enough to make people feel that something unusual is coming.
Looking at the situation in front of them, many people in this studio who were anxious and worried have also begun to quietly have their thoughts in mind.
"There's really no way."
None of the phone calls came in handy. The head of the external relations department came over and sent a message to the secretariat: "We can't find a suitable person, and they are unwilling to compromise. We can only ask Teacher Sui to come out and try in person."
Everyone knew this result already. Everyone was listless and no one spoke. They just sorted out the call records and sent them to Sui Si.
Once there is a problem with W&P's negotiations, it will not only bring about the failure of cooperation.
Sui Si's long-standing stable public opinion, his aloof status in the circle, and his fans' sense of superiority are bound to experience turbulence.Many people who are watching his mistakes will definitely seize this opportunity to make a big fuss.
Although Sui Si's acting skills are good, there is no irreplaceability in this circle.
In the final analysis, the resources in the circle are actually in Yu Tang's hands.Without Yutang's operation turning around, the unpleasantness of the last filming and this contract turmoil were just the beginning of an avalanche.
The head of the secretarial department is an old man in the studio. He has been working together with Sui Si since he debuted. He sits at the desk with an ashtray piled with cigarette butts.
"If... Yu Tang really leaves."
The head of the External Relations Department came over, borrowed a few words from him, and asked in a low voice: "Can you help me find out about Assistant Yu's next family?"
On the other side, Sui Si's face was also extremely ugly.
Nie Chi brought the doctor over and examined Yu Tang. It was a mute state caused by an acute state after strong stimulation. Combined with the fact that Sui Si saw Yu Tang sitting motionless on the surveillance camera last night, it was obvious that he was stiff.Performance.
The top priority is to change the patient to an environment that is non-stimulating, relatively mild, and can make the patient feel relaxed and happy.
"Just let him live in my house."
Sui Si said in a deep voice: "He likes to live here, he -"
"Mr. Sui." The doctor hesitated and tried to persuade him, "Taking all things into consideration, if the patient stays with you any longer, maybe... it will only make him more nervous and aggravate his condition."
Sui Si seemed to have been stabbed hard. He gritted his teeth and said in a cold tone: "What do you mean by this?!"
The doctor didn't dare to say anything more. He glanced at Nie Chi who was standing aside, lowered his head and closed his mouth.
Nie Chi had just made the bed for Yu Tang. He held Yu Tang's wrist hanging by the bed, put it under the quilt, and adjusted the flow rate of the medicine in the infusion bottle.
In order to ensure that Yu Tang would no longer be irritated, the doctor had urgently injected Yu Tang with a sedative and hypnotic drug before bringing him back from the studio.
Without additional stimulation, Yu Tang will not wake up on his own within a short period of time.
"Okay." Nie Chi said, "Do as Teacher Sui says."
The doctor still disagreed a little. Looking at Sui Si's face, which was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water, he closed his mouth and went to the side to list the key points of home care.
Sui Si stood by the door and looked at Yu Tang, who was sleeping quietly, with a dark expression.
Nie Chi came over and said, "Mr. Sui, how do you plan to handle W&P's negotiations?"
Sui Si's breath froze and he suddenly raised his head to stare at him.
Yu Tang had just been calmed down by the medicine, and the situation was still very unstable, but this professional manager didn't seem to understand human nature at all. At this time, he came to ask him about the negotiation.
Nie Chi looked calm, unaware of the condemnation and questioning in his eyes, and was waiting for Sui Si to decide on the next step.
The doctor noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and looked sideways.
Sui Si stood for a long time.
His throat moved slightly, he withdrew his gaze and leaned back against the edge of the door.
He didn't want to admit...that was what he was thinking about.
Yu Tang is like this now. He can't even speak and it's impossible to participate in negotiations. What about the W&P contract?
If there is a problem with the contract, he will not have enough capital and trump cards to talk to the Sui family.If we cannot leave the Sui family, the Sui family will come to deal with Ke Ming sooner or later. Will the relationship between the two be affected?
How will he explain to Ke Ming then?
He and Ke Ming had worked hard together for so long, and finally reached this point. They were about to achieve success, but at this time, endless troubles occurred.
Can Yu Tang's aphasia be cured?If it cannot be restored temporarily, can other communication methods be used?
Can you please let Yu Tang hold on for a while until the contract is negotiated?As long as he negotiated the contract and got through this, he wouldn't let Yu Tang worry about anything else and could stay at home to recuperate...
Sui Si suddenly woke up. He was startled by his shamelessness and hurriedly stopped his thoughts.
"Assistant Yu Te won't wake up yet, so he doesn't need someone to accompany him all the time."
Nie Chi said: "When the studio sends a message, the negotiation meeting still needs to be attended in person."
"I know." Sui Si suddenly felt exhausted. He bent his back and rubbed his temples vigorously. "Send a message to them and I will be there on time."
Nie Chi asked: "Do you need me to drive you?"
Sui Si didn't want to talk anymore and nodded.
He walked over, sat beside the bed, and looked at Yu Tang carefully.
Yu Tang quietly closed his eyes. He was cold and wrapped in a duvet. He tilted his head slightly and buried half of his face in the soft pillow.
Due to long-term lack of sleep and mental stress, Yu Tang's eyes were slightly green, but his face was also green and white, which would hardly be noticeable unless you looked carefully.
"I can not……"
Sui Si didn't know who he was explaining to. He slowly covered the corners of the quilt for Yu Tang and whispered: "Xiao Ming... I mind him very much."
"Xiao Ming has suffered too much and has made it all the way to this day. There is no way out."
Sui Si said: "Unlike him, he can find other jobs after leaving my place..."
Nie Chi had just sent the doctor away. He had already taken the car keys and was waiting by the door for Sui Si to set off.
Sui Si was quiet for a while, then he reached out to touch Yu Tang's hair. Remembering Ke Ming's reaction at that time, he stopped his outstretched hand halfway and slowly pulled it back.
He stood up and walked out the door with Nie Chi.
The negotiation location was arranged at W&P's headquarters building.
Unlike other long-established luxury brands, W&P is jointly helmed by two families who have been married for generations. For hundreds of years, it has been run by royal deacons.Later, the alliance underwent political system changes, but the family behind it still did not withdraw from the core force.
Even its headquarters building does not regard money as money. It is lavishly located in the center of the most prosperous area in the entire imperial capital where land is at a premium.
"That's not what I meant." Sui Si suddenly said as he walked into the elevator.
Nie Chi turned his head.
Sui Si was already used to Nie Chi's reticence. He didn't want to tell Nie Chi at first, so he just kept talking: "I told him...it would be the same without him, in order to comfort him and allow him to accept the new one with peace of mind."Life."
Sui Si looked at the flowing light strips on the elevator panel. He seemed to be explaining or convincing someone.
"I'm doing it for his own good."
"I will pay him at least five million in accordance with the contract... This money is enough for him to live a good life."
"I can also give him a store and let him do a small business. This will not be too hard and will help him maintain his health."
Sui Si whispered, he came from a wealthy background, but he had never experienced the life of an ordinary person, and the little knowledge he had came from scripts and movies.
But he thought, for the sake of Yu Tang, he could learn more about him.
In places he didn't know, Yu Tang had done a lot for him. In return, he was willing to think more about Yu Tang.
"He can't always be here with me. I can't support him for the rest of his life."
Sui Si said: "When I said that to him, I just wanted to inspire him and let him see the outside world and learn about it..."
"Mr. Sui." Nie Chi interrupted him.
Sui Si stopped talking: "What?"
The elevator stopped at the living room floor. Nie Chi raised his hand to block the gate, and turned aside to wait for Sui Si to get out of the elevator first.
"You may have misunderstood something." Nie Chi said, "You don't actually need to think about this for Special Assistant Yu."
Sui Si frowned: "How can I not think about him?"
"He started following me when he was in his teens. He didn't read much and his vision was narrow. He didn't know anything and didn't even have a decent education."
Sui Si said: "He only knows a few things. How will he integrate into the outside society after leaving me? In the future -"
Seeing the figure approaching not far away, Sui Si suppressed his anger and stopped talking.
He closed his eyes, adjusted himself, stopped being distracted, and greeted him with a calm smile: "Hello."
"Mr. Sui, I didn't expect you to come in person." The visitor shook hands with him, "My name is Darren, and I am a professional manager in charge of WP headquarters."
Darren looked behind Sui Si. He only saw Nie Chi and was a little confused: "Isn't Mr. Yu coming with you?"
"Assistant Yu Te is sick."
Sui Si smiled and explained: "I came here personally to express my apology."
"It's nothing. It's just a business deal. It's the same if you come to discuss it."
Darren's spoken language was very standard, only the accent on some words was a little stiff. He smiled politely with Sui Si: "It's just a pity. We thought we could talk about business together."
Sui Si frowned without leaving any trace.
He never knew... there were any other serious matters related to Yutang.
Apart from him, how could Yu Tang have other serious matters?
"I don't quite understand what you're talking about,"
Sui Si slowed down for a moment and waited for Darren to enter the meeting room: "Is it about Assistant Yu? I can make the final decision on his affairs. If you have any questions, you can talk to me..."
"Is that so? That's great." Darren was not very familiar with the entertainment industry and was a little surprised when he heard this. "Can you please make a statement as soon as possible to clearly terminate Mr. Yu's relevant positions in your studio and allow Mr. Yu to resume his free life?"?"
Sui Si suddenly stood where he was.
This passage was not unfamiliar to him. A few weeks ago, it actually appeared on the document he signed to expel Yu Tang.
But when she heard Darren say this sentence in a non-standard accent, Sui Si still could hardly understand the meaning of this sentence.
What kind of business is this?
What kind of business is it to dismiss Yu Tang from his position and kick him out of the studio?
"During the meeting...Did Yu Tang do anything that made your company unhappy?"
I don't know why, Sui Si suddenly felt a little flustered.He composed himself and said slowly: "If there is any misunderstanding, please allow me to apologize on his behalf——"
"There's no misunderstanding, I just couldn't express myself clearly." Darren interrupted with a smile, "Please forgive me, my spoken English is not very good... It's the request of our chairman."
"You also know that our chairman is considering retirement recently. Accordingly, the personnel structure of the headquarters also needs to be improved and optimized."
"In the process of Mr. Yu cooperating with us on your behalf to cooperate with the W&P brand in all aspects of marketing, sales, planning, and public relations, we have seen his extraordinary understanding and work ability. We need such talents to coordinate the relationship between customers and the market.I believe he is fully qualified for this job."
"The chairman admires Mr. Yu very much and wants to invite him as a target candidate for WP's marketing department director to come to the company for preliminary adaptability training."
Darren said kindly: "You can receive formal employee benefits when you join the company. You can choose your residence and transportation tools from the villas and car models in WP's affiliated sub-industries. The annual salary of the director level is guaranteed to be in the tens of millions...Other benefits can be discussed later..”
"Since you can make the decision, we would like to ask you to ask Mr. Yu." Darren said, "Is Mr. Yu interested in completing the job within this month?"
[He and Ke Ming had worked hard together for so long]
