Actor: Thank you.

For a long time, several questions have been troubling Zhang Yuan.

And these are all major problems.

The most direct question is how he can "get out of this predicament".

This solution involves more than just getting out of Huayi.

There's also the option of getting out of trouble through Tudou.com.

Because neither Huayi nor Tudou were his ultimate goals.

It's not the company shares he wants to hold long-term.

Huayi will eventually become a rival.

Potatoes, in particular, have a fatal flaw because of Wang Wei.

"One shot ruined the company's future" is not enough to describe what happened to Wang Wei.

The internet industry directly gave birth to the "Wang Wei Regulations" as a result.

The Wang brothers believed that Zhang Yuan's weakness was women.

Compared to Wang Wei, Zhang Yuan is practically a saint.

At least he doesn't mistreat the women he's been with; his reputation in the industry is still quite good.

Love is like drinking in the North: it's better to hurt your body than hurt your feelings.

Even if we break up, it should be a proper breakup so that we can both be well.

Especially for prominent figures, a peaceful breakup is essential, otherwise, the consequences will be dire!

You never know when the other person might suddenly feel resentful and betray you.

It is terrifying for love to turn into hate.

Especially for the woman, if she has a close friend who doesn't mind going to the funeral and instigating things, then it's even worse.

But the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released.

At the time, Zhang Yuan saw an opportunity to acquire shares in these two companies, and he couldn't let the potential for future problems prevent him from taking action.

Hesitation and timidity will only lead to missed opportunities.

I have to take it one step at a time.

Now that you've benefited, you can't be sentimental and say, "If only I hadn't wanted it in the first place."

That's called shamelessness.

So we have to find a way to solve these problems.

He racked his brains for a long time, but couldn't come up with a good solution.

Moreover, this matter cannot be discussed with anyone, and it is not good to leak the news or reveal one's thoughts.

He had tried to mentally reconstruct these events countless times, but he just couldn't get them to work.

It wasn't until he thought about the difficulties Sisi would encounter and put everything together that he realized what was going on.

Whoops!

He then discovered that he could extract it from Xiaolongnu's body...

When a problem seems unsolvable, introducing a third-party external factor can often change the deadlock.

He had been thinking about how to proactively solve the problem.

In fact, the best solution is to be "passive".

"Are you really going to sell your shares in Tudou.com to Huayi?"

Sisi lay in his arms, her face filled with sorrow.

"Yes," Zhang Yuan replied confidently.

This is what he told the other party: helping you solve your troubles is not the goal, but a means.

Only through her can I achieve my goal.

"But you don't need to feel sorry."

"Actually, I've wanted to sell it for a long time."

"You're lying." She raised her hand and pinched the other person's nose.

"Who would be willing to sell it?"

She thought Zhang Yuan was just trying to comfort her, and felt a warmth in her heart.

Little did they know that the other party was serious.

"I'm willing to part with it," Zhang Yuan thought to himself with his eyes closed.

There's a big problem with potatoes.

She is Yang Lei, Wang Wei's ex-wife.

He had asked the other party out for a meal and a chat last year to test the waters and confirmed that the other party was likely to "make a move".

That is, they launched an attack and filed a lawsuit when Tudou.com went public.

After all, Wang Wei's decision to only give 10 yuan in a divorce settlement was indeed excessive.

This is what it means to create your own misfortune.

If they had broken up amicably and given each other reasonable compensation, none of this would have happened.

After confirming that Yang Lei harbored resentment, two paths appeared before Zhang Yuan.

Let her do it, or stop her.

After thinking it over carefully, he realized that his identity was in a troublesome way.

His joining Tudou.com was not only because Wang Wei needed his money in an emergency, but also because he connected with Yang Lei.

Therefore, Wang Wei is Yang Lei's man.

If I stop her from doing that, firstly, Wang Wei might not believe me.

Even if you believe it, you still need to find a way to deal with it and resolve the problem.

and then?
Given his current arrogant nature, he won't thank me.

They'll just see me as a thorn, a thorn in Yang Lei's gang, stuck inside a potato.

When he and the other shareholders join forces, I won't get away with it; I'll be kicked out.

Without Wang Wei's support as CEO, Zhang Yuan couldn't get along well in the company.

Zhang Yuan carefully analyzed Wang Wei's personality and felt that "exposing" Yang Lei was risky, had little reward, and was uncontrollable.

Therefore, he decided to remain silent, let things develop as they were, and not try to change the established facts.

In this way, he essentially drew a timeline for himself.

The shares must be sold off before Tudou.com's IPO, and before Yang Lei's lawsuit!
To get rid of it, you need to find a buyer to take it over.

Easy to find!

Make up an excuse that you're short of money, and then release the news that you want to sell your shares in Tudou.com. The market will go crazy!
Even if there aren't a thousand, there should be at least eight hundred people eager to come looking for you.

There are many video websites, but Tudou.com is the only one.

This is just like when Zhang Yuan went to Africa a few days ago.

At the hotel down the mountain, apples in the breakfast area are free; feel free to take them.

But at the summit of a mountain at an altitude of 6000 meters, an apple can become worth a hundred times more.

Tudou.com is like an apple at an altitude of 6000 meters, just a little bit away from "reaching the summit".

But just as he was about to sell his shares, he discovered another problem.

Why are you selling when you're so close to going public?
Being short of money is understandable.

But when Yang Lei launched his attack and Tudou encountered difficulties, his reasoning became untenable in the eyes of the other shareholders!
Given his relationship with Yang Lei, everyone else would agree that he knew in advance that Yang Lei would be filing a lawsuit, and some might even think that he instigated it and was involved in it.

What do you think they will do after they realize what's happening?
Tudou.com's investors include global investment banks and VC giants, boasting a powerful network of connections and influence.

Zhang Yuan estimated that it would be enough to keep him busy.

So, just like Hua Yi, she rose to prominence because of Feng Xiaogang, and she also fell because of Feng Xiaogang.

He was able to get into the potato company because of Yang Lei.

But now that he wants to go out, Yang Lei has become an obstacle for him.

Therefore, these shares need to be sold, but they cannot be sold through normal means!

This is also why he spent the whole year cultivating the image of someone who "fights for love and is willing to go to any lengths to oppose Liu Qianqian and Hua Yi."

Therefore, the current situation is more reasonable.

Women are his weakness, a fact that is partly due to his own characterization.

Thus, the situation became one where he was forced by Hua Yi to sell his shares.

It's not that I sold it because I knew what it was.

It was the "gangsters" in the entertainment industry who stole my property!
"You don't need to feel too much pressure."

“I said I would help you solve this problem, and I will.”

"You're great, I know you can do it, but... okay, I won't say any more." Sisi wanted to complain a bit, but then felt it wasn't appropriate.

After all, the other party has already given so much, so it's best to accept it and enjoy it all.

I just always feel uneasy.

Mr. Chen had been helping her all along, and she received a large amount of agent fees as compensation, so she felt no guilt.

This is what is meant by "keeping clear accounts even between close brothers." Even if two people are related by blood, it's not a matter of giving without expecting anything in return.

But as for Zhang Yuan...

You went to such lengths just to sleep with me?
Not so much.

Besides, even without these, what's going to happen will happen anyway.

Unlike many girls, she thinks differently.

Many women feel that in bed, men are the ones who take advantage of them.

Feeling like they're getting the short end of the stick, they "weaponize" sex, using it to gain emotional or monetary value.

It is very common for women to use sex as a threat or to manipulate men in relationships or marriages.

"If you don't do this, you can forget about ever getting into my bed again!"

8% of men have heard this saying.

But she felt that whether in bed or out of bed, it was all communication between the two of them.

It's just a different approach.

Once she calmed down, she was able to enjoy it all.

"However, I also need to collect some interest." Zhang Yuan grinned and turned to look at her.

"What are you doing!" She hugged him, kissed him, and wrinkled her nose as she replied, "Don't always talk about this." "Overeating will harm your health."

"What did I say?" Zhang Yuan feigned a haughty expression and put on a puzzled face.

"What do you think I'm going to do?"

"Liu, please don't be so filthy."

"You're always lusting after my body."

"Get lost!" Little Dragon Girl laughed and picked up a pillow, then punched him repeatedly.

It took quite a while before it stopped.

"The interest I'm talking about isn't the kind you're thinking of."

"Of course, that kind is fine too."

"But this time I'm looking for your mother."

Liu Qianqian: ...

You let me sort things out... Sisi's mind is a little confused.

"I need your mother's help with something." He then leaned in and explained it to her.

"Just like when you looked for my dad last time?"

"Correct."

“Okay, I’ll call Mom right now.” She got up to find her phone.

From the very beginning, Zhang Yuan had been asking Liu Xiaoli for something.

Otherwise, why buy such an expensive pearl necklace?

"Mother."

"Hey, you have time to call me now?"

After changing into casual clothes, Xiaolongnu went to the living room to make a phone call.

I miss you so much.

"Let's come and play together next time."

"Let me tell you, I saw so many animals..."

For the next half hour, I chattered away to my mom, reporting on everything I had seen and heard.

Liu Xiaoli is a parent who never spoils the fun, so her daughter is willing to chat with her.

"That's fine."

"Did you experience altitude sickness while hiking?"

"No, prior training is very effective."

"Zhang Yuan, on the other hand, is suffering from severe altitude sickness."

"Is he okay then?"

"No, it'll be fine once we get down the mountain."

"We're having fun in Los Angeles right now."

"Why are you going to North America again..." Aunt Liu thought to herself, "You've got quite the tricks up your sleeve, traveling all over the world."

“Hmm…” Sisi hesitated for a moment.

"We went to see Wang Zhonglei."

"Ah!" Liu Xiaoli exclaimed in a moment of utter disarray.

He then explained the matter in detail.

Liu Xiaoli was stunned after hearing this.

I know you're going all out, but this is way too much!
This resale will surely result in a loss of hundreds of millions.
Old Chen envied him for owning shares in Tudou.com, but he just threw them away without hesitation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to succeed.

Aunt Liu also felt that she owed a huge favor and it would be difficult to repay it.

He was even more afraid that his daughter would ruin him because of this.

If the relationship is good, then it's fine.

I'm afraid she might act impulsively, overwhelmed by emotion and excitement, and do something irrational.

After all, everyone gets to that age, which is when it's easy to get carried away.

"Mom, there's something he needs our help with." Only then did Sisi reveal the matter that Zhang Yuan had just asked her to discuss.

"Okay."

Just when I was worrying about how to repay the favor, the other party came looking for me with something.

suitable!
"He wanted us to help him find some connections in Wuhan."

"Settle a lawsuit."

What Zhang Yuan asked the other party to do for him was to resolve the troubles surrounding the film "Lost in Thailand"!
He deliberately dragged the company out of the way, allowing the other party to bring the case back to Hubei Province for judgment, precisely because of this.

Yes, Hubei Province is your territory.

But it doesn't necessarily mean it's not my "territory".

My father-in-law and mother-in-law are both local strongmen!
Both the An and Liu families are prominent, hereditary households in the area, having cultivated the land for generations.

Even if it's not in the film and television industry, as long as there are connections, it'll be fine.

The relationship between these two families is quite close.

Now he should focus on getting things done and helping Xixi get rid of the burden of Huayi.

The other party will definitely be willing to help me.

And they would definitely be willing to put in a lot of effort.

This way, you can not only solve your own problems, but also deepen the connection and feelings between the two parties.

"A lawsuit, and it's this kind of lawsuit." Liu Xiaoli thought for a moment.

"The other party must have connections in their hometown."

"I'll go check it out first and see what's going on." Liu Xiaoli considered how to handle the situation without even thinking.

"If someone has a powerful background, it won't be easy to overpower the other party."

“It’s okay, Zhang Yuan said that as long as I can act as a middleman and sit down to talk, that’s fine,” Qianqian conveyed Zhang Yuan’s intention.

"Oh, then there's no problem," Aunt Liu replied confidently.

Zhang Yuan deliberately allowed the other party to bring the lawsuit to his own territory.

Then find someone to force the other party to sit down and talk.

This is called "one effort, then a decline, and finally exhaustion."

Even away from the capital, I'm still not afraid of you.

Only when the other party's arrogance subsided and their mind calmed down could he achieve his goal.

That is, a "peaceful resolution".

Just like relationships between men and women, only a peaceful resolution can prevent the future problems of the "Lost in..." IP.

Zhang Yuan now says, "When in doubt about foreign affairs, go to Lao An; when in doubt about domestic affairs, go to Lao Liu."

He had the rare privilege of being treated like a "son-in-law".

This is the business model of combining the descendants of official and business families.

One side is responsible for rescuing the fish, and the other side is responsible for settling the matter.

To outsiders, Sisi is just an actress.

But for him, they are partners who can support each other.

"Um... has Zhang Yuan and Hua Yi reached an agreement yet?" Liu Xiaoli wanted to confirm.

I don't want to finish my work only to find out the other party was just bluffing and bragging.

After all, Tudou.com's shares are too large and too important; who would be willing to sell them?

Old Liu found it unbelievable.

“He said he’d wait a few days and play around with the other person first,” Sisi replied.

"I don't think he'll go back on his word."

"Alright then," Liu Xiaoli sighed.

What can I do if my daughter trusts him so much?
My daughter is grown up and no longer stays with me.

"Okay, I've already told Mom."

"She will probably go to her maternal grandmother and uncle to ask about this."

Shortly after, she returned to Zhang Yuan's side with her phone in hand.

"What are you doing?"

“Meditation,” Zhang Yuan replied, “helps to restore mental clarity and adjust body and mind.”

He got this from Lu Jingshan; her father is a master, skilled in both internal and external matters.

One of the practices of inner cultivation is meditation.

"Come on, I'll teach you."

"Once you learn it, you can practice dual cultivation." Zhang Yuan waved to her.

"You just can't come up with any good words." She tapped his forehead with her index finger, then sat down beside him.

"Relax and observe yourself."

"Concentrate and feel your breath."

"Feel the flow of energy in your body."

"Calm down and let go of your chaotic thoughts."

While meditating, Zhang Yuan calmed his mind and spirit.

He's not in a hurry.

The Wang brothers are the ones who are in a hurry right now.

It seemed that Zhang Yuan was the one who needed something from the other party, but after they coveted their shares, it became the other party who needed him.

This is what is meant by being invincible when one is without desires; if one has desires, one cannot be invincible.

The offensive and defensive strategies have shifted.

They had ignored themselves for several days before.

Now let them experience what it's like to "let the bullets fly for a while"... (End of Chapter)
