You are a star, why do you have all the skills from the underworld?

Chapter 283 Parting ways
"..."

Lu Zhiming was a little confused.

I received a call from the leader of the General Administration. Before he even opened his mouth, he started asking questions. Who wouldn’t be confused?
When the other end of the phone became quieter, Lu Zhiming dared to ask:
"Leader, block...who should you block?"

"Who else could it be? Go and see for yourself, who issued the banning order? Don't you watch the news? Don't you know Xu Yi's identity? He is not only an entertainment star, but also the 100-meter champion of this Olympics, serving the country Disgrace! Besides, you don’t care about this matter at all, so why do you dare to block others?”

This series of shelling directly shocked Lu Zhiming.

Damn it, this must be something the deputy director did.

Damn it, you don’t want to let it go, I still want to go on.

If you want to get someone involved, you don't have to investigate clearly in advance.

Their hands reach the sky, and they are built with antennas! You actually want to block it? I think you are committing suicide!

After thinking about this section clearly, Lu Zhiming immediately promised:
"Boss, I'm sorry. I was indeed negligent in this matter. I will verify it right away. In two hours... no, within an hour, I will definitely figure out the whole story and give the leader a satisfactory explanation."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhiming did not hesitate and immediately called all the management of the main station to the conference room.

If you haven't gotten off work yet, go over immediately.

If you get off work, you'll be back in ten minutes.

When Lu Zhiming spoke, no one below naturally dared to disobey him.

According to Lu Zhiming's understanding of the leadership, everyone is usually nice and amiable. This sudden outburst was obviously to show some people. Could this certain person be related to Xu Yi?

Lu Zhiming could only guess this for the time being.

For more, maybe only through follow-up and slow investigation, or asking the leaders, can we get the answer.

Main station administrative building, conference room.

Almost all the leaders in the station are present; the directors and managers of various channels are also basically sitting in this conference room. Some people roughly guessed why this meeting was held, while others were completely confused.

The station director rarely calls everyone to a meeting so impromptuly and suddenly.

If you do this, it means it must be important and urgent.

But...what major and urgent matters does the main station have now?
Thinking of this, many people couldn't help but think of Xu Yi suing the station, claiming compensation for one yuan, and demanding a public apology. It seems that apart from this matter, there is nothing else worthy of such a big fight, right?
Lu Zhiming walked into the conference room with a gloomy face.

In the conference room, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Some of the younger ones even breathed heavily, for fear that if they made too much noise and attracted the director's attention, they would be in big trouble.

"I'm sorry for suddenly calling everyone back for a meeting."

Lu Zhiming didn't speak, so no one dared to speak in this meeting.

Therefore, after scanning the crowd, Lu Zhiming spoke: "Just now, I received a call from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. The leader asked me, why should I ban an Olympic champion star who has brought glory to the country?"

"I wonder if someone can give me an explanation for this?"

boom!
It was actually the direct leader who asked directly!
It's over!
Liu Guoping was also in the conference room, and the huge waves in his heart at this moment were like a stormy sea crashing on the shore. How can it be? How could Xiao Xu have such a relationship with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television? If he did, when he went to negotiate, even if Xu Yi showed a little bit, things would never be the situation they are today.

And deputy director Zhao Weizhen was really sitting on pins and needles at this moment, with a light on his back.

He never would have thought that this matter would be so shocking.

"Deputy Director Zhao, don't you have anything to say?" Seeing that no one stood up to speak, Lu Zhiming was not polite and directly named them.

That's being polite of him.

Think about the phone call just now. If it was Zhao Weizhen who called you, I'm afraid you would have insomnia for several days!

Zhao Weizhen stood up uneasily and explained:

"Director Lu, this may be a misunderstanding."

"Our station has never issued any banning document on Xu Yi. I'm afraid someone may spread rumors."

Lu Zhiming was like a mirror in his mind: "Oh? I didn't say it was Xu Yi. How did you know that the person I was talking about was Xu Yi?"

This is self-inflicted.

Although Lu Zhiming talked about Olympic champion stars, there are dozens of champions in one Olympic Games!

He didn't name Xu Yi, but Zhao Weizhen revealed Xu Yi's name.

This is not a guilty conscience, what else could it be?
Zhao Weizhen hesitated and said:
"This... this, Xu Yi has had some unpleasantness with us in the station recently. I guess he is the one who is guessing."

"Good guess."

Lu Zhiming did not break his face, but asked: "So Deputy Director Zhao, can you tell me what happened to Xu Yi and the main station? If I remember correctly, the national treasure of Channel 9 The documentary, as well as the current Good Voice program on Channel 3, are all cooperating with Xu Yi. Why did the unpleasantness suddenly happen? "

Zhao Weizhen was really stunned this time and couldn't say a word.

Lu Zhiming turned his head and looked at Liu Guoping:

"Director Liu, you just ended your cooperation with Xu Yi. Excuse me, do you know what happened?"

Liu Guoping stood up bravely.

Director, you can just ask Deputy Director Zhao directly about this kind of thing. If you ask me, aren't you putting me on the fire?
Seeing Lu Zhiming's face, Liu Guoping knew that he had no room to retreat.

He had no choice but to tell the whole story of the matter. Of course, when talking about Zhao Weizhen selling overseas copyrights, Liu Guoping also emphasized that Deputy Director Zhao did not know that the overseas copyrights of the program were owned by Xu Yi in hand.

This can be regarded as a rescue for Zhao Weizhen, and it is also a rescue for Liu Guoping himself.

Offending Zhao Weizhen will still make life difficult for him in the future.

Although Zhao Weizhen made the mistake, since we are in the same boat, there is no reason to add insult to injury.

Lu Zhiming heard the whole thing and continued to ask:

"Since the matter is so obvious and both parties have signed a copyright ownership contract, why didn't we resolve the matter as soon as possible? Instead, the other party wanted to sue us, and the whole Internet was discussing the matter, and everyone was looking at us. Taiwan’s joke?”

"Do you think this is honorable?"

No one dared to answer the call.

There is absolutely no way to answer this.

Lu Zhiming deliberately paused for a while before continuing:
"Within thirty minutes, you can come up with a way to deal with the aftermath of this matter."

"Let others see our sincerity!" "I don't want the leaders of the General Administration to scold me again after hearing our solution!"

After speaking, Lu Zhiming turned around and left the conference room and returned to his office.

The meeting ended before anyone else in the meeting could even react.

Zhao Weizhen sighed secretly in his heart. He could tell that when the station director said "let others", the others here were probably not only Xu Yi, but also the person who put pressure on the leaders of the General Administration. Therefore, this solution must not be done half-heartedly. If you make a mistake, you will stand up and get beaten. He still has this awareness.

Soon, only Zhao Weizhen and a few people in charge of Channel 3 were left in the conference room.

Liu Guoping is also among them.

This incident was caused by the program "The Voice of China", so Channel 3 naturally cannot stay out of it.

"Director Liu, now that the matter is over, what do you think we should do to win Xu Yi's understanding?"

Liu Guoping: What did you do earlier?
I reminded you when you asked me to negotiate with Xu Yi.

Okay, now that I have hit the iron wall, I come back and ask what should I do?
To put it bluntly, there is only one way to get Xu Yi to withdraw the lawsuit, which is to agree to Xu Yi's reasonable conditions, and to let the news out again from the main station. They have no intention of blocking Xu Yi, and they will even do so in the future. Program with Xu Yi.

Although Liu Guoping also knew that after this incident, the possibility of cooperation between the two parties was basically zero.

"Director Zhao, I personally think so."

"This matter is not difficult to solve. First of all, the copyright fee belongs to Xu Yi, and we must return it to him exactly. Secondly, we must publish a statement on the entire network, attribute this matter to an operational error, and report to Xu Yi I apologize, and most importantly, I hope to continue to cooperate with Xu Yi in the future.”

Zhao Weizhen is also a smart man. After careful consideration, he immediately understood what Liu Guoping meant.

There had been a lot of turmoil before, and even major local TV stations had received the news. This matter must be resolved.

How to deal with it?

The main station cannot issue a document saying that Xu Yi has not been banned. It is all falsehood. Doing so is equivalent to three hundred taels of silver in this place. After all, everyone in the circle knows how the news spread.

However, if the main station expresses its attitude and hopes to continue cooperation in the future, it means that the ban has completely disappeared.

This is a move that can move a thousand pounds with four ounces.

Good move!

Zhao Weizhen said matter-of-factly: "Okay, I'll do as you say. In addition, you can go find Xu Yi again, for example, give him a title like head office consultant. This will make it even more clear that there is no reason for us to be together." There is a gap in this matter. Let’s do it now!”

"Okay, I'll contact him right away."

Liu Guoping didn't waste time either.

After finishing this matter, I have to rush to report to the station director.

The director was obviously waiting for the outcome of this matter and reported it to the leaders at the General Administration.

If the leader opens his mouth, his legs will be broken if he runs away!
That night, Liu Guoping made an emergency appointment with Xu Yi and conveyed the main station's intentions. This turn of events left Xu Yi a little confused. After all, in the afternoon, Fat Orange came over worriedly and said that the main station was going to ban him.

Why did the wind change after only a short while?
Could it be that Fat Orange was using his strength?
Xu Yi decided to ask clearly: "Director Liu, don't blame me for talking too much. I just want to ask, why is this?"

Liu Guoping said seriously:
"Respect the facts and restore the facts!"

"We should have done this, there is no other reason!"

"Haha." Xu Yi showed an intriguing smile, and then said: "Director Liu, I treat you as a friend, and I hope you don't treat me as a fool. Someone must have put pressure on you in this matter, right? I Do you know who it is?"

Liu Guoping smiled awkwardly and said:
"This...I really don't know this."

"That's not right, Xiao Xu, didn't you find a relationship? To be honest with you, when I got off work today, the station manager had a meeting with us and had very strict words, telling us to handle this matter properly. I thought it was you who had the connection from above?"

He shook his head and said: "How can I find any connections? I am really confused."

"It's a good thing that you have someone to help you." Liu Guoping saw that Xu Yi didn't act like he was pretending, and he was filled with envy. He could have such a great relationship, but he didn't even know who it was. What a fool. What a fool! Although Xu Yi didn't look stupid.

Just listen to Liu Guoping continue:

"Xiao Xu, look, why don't we just let this matter go?"

"If you don't agree with Taili's conditions, you can put forward your own conditions. We will agree to whatever we can agree to; if we can't agree to it, we will try our best to satisfy you. But, can this lawsuit be withdrawn..."

The prosecution was dropped and the situation calmed down.

All the best.

Xu Yi thought carefully about Liu Guoping's conditions, nodded and said:

"Of course, the original purpose of my lawsuit was not to cause trouble, but to get back what belongs to me."

"Since you returned the things to me and are willing to make a statement, I naturally don't need to sue anymore. However, as for the consultant you mentioned, I think... or forget it. I have been wanting to take a vacation for a while, which is a bit tired."

This was a clear rejection of the station's good intentions.

Having a consultant would show off the generosity of the front office, but for Xu Yi, it was of no use at all.

On the contrary, after this episode, even if Xu Yi really puts aside his past resentment and fulfills his duties as a consultant, the other party may not really appreciate it.

Moreover, he is not willing to sacrifice himself to improve the station's reputation among the people.

Liu Guoping did not force it.

He can understand, it's human nature!

The two people had just finished their quarrel, and then they turned around and asked both parties to get the certificate. This was obviously unreliable.

As long as Zhao Weizhen made this proposal, he had to convey it.

"Okay, okay." Liu Guoping said quickly: "You have a good rest and think about it again. The door to the main station will still be open for you at any time. Then I will arrange for someone to deal with this matter when I get back. Tomorrow afternoon at the latest, the general manager Taiwan’s statement will be published online.”

Xu Yi hummed and said:
"Then you will also receive my notice of withdrawal of the lawsuit at the same time."

The implication was that Xu Yi would withdraw the lawsuit only if the main station made concessions first.

Otherwise, if the lawsuit is withdrawn and you cheat again, then whose fault is it?
To put it bluntly, although there was pressure from someone above this time, Xu Yi's trust in the main station was gone.

Of course, these things cannot be blamed on Liu Guoping. As the director of Channel 3, he had just started making the program lively. When he was faced with this situation in the blink of an eye, Liu Guoping felt very depressed.

Xu Yi knew very well that after such a quarrel, the two parties seemed to shake hands and make peace, but in the days to come, they had actually parted ways and there would never be another chance to cooperate...
