Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

It was late at night, but the light in the minister's office in the CCTV building was still on.

The blinds were tightly shut, blocking out all prying eyes from the outside world and also concealing the last trace of hesitation on Tan Xisong's face.

The pen nib hovered at the signature at the end of the contract, trembling slightly.

Yin Mingzhu stood opposite her with her arms crossed, her eyes filled with undisguised mockery and impatience.

"Minister Tan, should we sign or not?"

Yin Mingzhu's voice sounded particularly jarring in the excessively quiet room, "Your time is precious, and my patience is limited. Will you take this 'one yuan' or not?"

Tan Xisong's gaze was fixed on the words "Zhuzhu Culture Media Co., Ltd."

Lu Yang's icy, chilling message, "I don't like the name 'Zhuzhu,' and I want to shut it down," seemed to echo in her ears again, sending a shiver down her spine.

But the next moment, the temptation of the "golden egg" worth millions that was within easy reach, and the fact that Zhuzhu Company, a goose that could lay golden eggs, could be obtained as long as a signature was made, instantly overwhelmed that chill.

More than three million!

The number roared in her mind, making her almost dizzy.

In the 1990s, this was an astronomical figure!
It's a huge sum of money that she might not have been able to accumulate even if she worked diligently and methodically for a hundred years!
A refund is absolutely out of the question, and she doesn't have that much money to pay right now.

But if you don't back out.

They also refused to take over the company's "mess".

That crazy woman on the other side will definitely choose to fight to the death.

It'll cause a scene then.

I might not only fail to get the company, but I might also lose my job. Even if I do, I'm sure I'll be marginalized by my superiors.

"never mind."

“Originally, I could have had that beast Huang Junfei help me.”

"That beast nowadays can't be relied on either."

"I can only rely on myself."

“What does it matter if I give up this job for my daughter? I’ve already transferred 300 million to her. There’s no need for Yan Yan to transfer it back. It’s not easy for her to study abroad. There’s no need to involve her in domestic matters. I can handle this myself.”

"That's right. Even if Zhuzhu Company is now being targeted by that little nemesis surnamed Lu and has become a debt mess, as long as the core operating mechanism is still there, with my methods and the connections I've built up over the past ten years, it's a goose that lays golden eggs. Besides, without that woman taking away half of the company's profits, this year's earnings will only be more substantial than last year's 300 million. What am I still hesitating for?"

Yes! What are you still hesitating about?
Financial freedom is within reach. Should we just watch it slip through our fingers because we can't bear to give up our secure job?

"Please, it's been so many years since the reform and opening up, and only you are still clinging to your iron rice bowl and not knowing how to adapt. If I were in your position, I would have achieved financial freedom long ago. Do you know how many opportunities you have given up to make big money?"

At this moment, although her ex-husband Huang Junfei was a beast, the words he used to criticize her during their most intense argument before their divorce still echoed in her ears.

Tan Xisong took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp and resolute.

The pen finally fell heavily, and she signed her name—Tan Xisong—in the signature area for Party B.

At that moment, she finally made up her mind: she wanted the 300 million yuan and would not back down; she also wanted the company.

As for the pressure Lu Yang exerted...

Didn't that little rascal say he didn't like the name "Zhuzhu"?

That’s easy!
Name, change it!

Change the signboard!

The legal representative? Change it to her, Tan Xisong, immediately!

From then on, this was a completely new company, and she had already thought of several names, such as "Tan's Media" or "Xixi Media".

A completely new shell, a new company with no old grudges against his little nemesis Lu Yang.

She refused to believe that her little devil would relentlessly target a completely unfamiliar new company for no reason, unless he had gone mad...

No matter what, shouldn't Sister Tan and the other party still have some old ties?
"Alright, I've signed it."

“Take this one yuan, and from now on, Zhuzhu Company will have nothing to do with you, Yin Mingzhu.”

Take a deep breath.

She divided the signed contract into two copies, and gave one copy to the other party.

When Yin Mingzhu reached out to take it again, Tan Xisong stopped her again.

The other party is too young.

She couldn't help but remind the other person a few more times. She looked up and stared at the other person's beautiful and young face, saying, "As a senior, I hope you can remember that I brought you into this industry. Don't forget your roots. It's better to keep some things to yourself and not think about fighting to the death with someone at the drop of a hat."

Finish this sentence.

She could almost feel the mocking sneer from the other person.

But at this moment, that thin piece of paper symbolizing the change of company ownership felt incredibly heavy and scorching hot to her.

The dividends of over three million yuan were secured, and the goose that lays golden eggs in the future was also in their own hands.

But the price...

She couldn't help but glance bitterly at the office she had personally decorated for several years.

"Congratulations, Mr. Tan."

Yin Mingzhu picked up her own copy of the contract and gave a cold laugh.

"As for my future development, you don't need to worry about that, Mr. Tan. You are indeed a senior in this industry. What I'm going to do next has nothing to do with our industry. As for Zhuzhu Company, humph, I hope you... can handle it."

What are they thinking? What are they planning?

She doesn't care.

All she cared about was getting out of this mess as soon as possible.

So, in a way, she should thank Sister Tan, whom she once respected the most. Sister Tan had kicked her when she was down and pushed her into the mud, but now she had pulled her out of the mire. So, it's even, right?

lol...

A cold glint flashed in her eyes.

"The journey of life is long, Sister Tan. I will always remember your many personal demonstrations and teachings. See you again in the future." After saying that, she turned around, not admitting defeat, but walking out of the office with victorious strides, slamming the door behind her.

It seems she still holds a grudge.

Tan Xisong sat in his office chair behind his desk with a complicated expression, staring blankly at the tightly closed office door, the sound of the door slamming shut echoing in his ears.

She gently stroked the desk surface, then the armrest of the office chair, and finally the seat beneath her.

Youyou sighed.

I started organizing the contracts on my desk and locked them in the drawer.

She picked up her pen again, squeezed out some ink, and began writing her own "Application for Leave Without Pay" on a blank sheet of paper.

Things have come to this point, it's time to leave. Leave with dignity, and maybe if things don't go well in the future, you'll have a chance to come back.

If I don't take the initiative to be respectable, and that girl who's still holding a grudge goes around spreading rumors... or if the higher-ups find out something, then I'm afraid I won't be able to be respectable even if I want to.

At this moment, she was particularly clear-headed, no longer as greedy and insatiable as before, wanting both. She had the 300 million yuan and the company in hand. If she still clung to this secure job at CCTV, she would most likely end up with nothing. On the contrary, if she voluntarily gave up her position at CCTV and went into business to focus on running an entertainment and advertising company, any possibility would exist in the future.

three days later.

With her newly registered e-commerce company license, Yin Mingzhu signed an agreement with Lianxiang Company and Lianxiang-Yingke Electronics to grant them the sales rights to Lenovo brand computers and VCD players.

Initially, both parties agreed to start with cities in Hunan Province other than the provincial capital, Changsha. If Yin Mingzhu performed well, the total annual sales could reach the amount agreed upon by both parties.

Then we'll also grant her the exclusive distributorship rights for the neighboring inland provinces of Jiangxi and Hubei.

Of course, the same premise still applies, except for provincial capitals.

Lianxiang has directly operated stores in these provincial capitals. Most residents in these cities are relatively wealthy and have a strong desire to buy these electronic products. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Lianxiang would not allow these products to be operated by local agents.

There are exceptions, but those exceptions are usually distributors with truly strong local capabilities.

Although Yin Mingzhu was a product distributor that Lianxiang had recently sought out and selected to annoy Lu Yang, their competitor, it was clear, and regrettably, that she was not among the powerful partners they were looking for.

However, Yin Mingzhu was already quite satisfied. She didn't have much money, only a few million. Even if she sold her house and car in Beijing, and then "tricked" her mother out of the money from the sale of her house in Shenzhen, as well as the more than 100 million in the stock market, she still wouldn't be able to raise 1000 million.

Yes, simultaneously launching a regional sales network in Hunan, Jiangxi, and Hubei provinces is definitely not enough.

On the contrary, if she only starts to radiate from Hunan Province, since it is her hometown and she has avoided the most competitive place, Changsha, the provincial capital, the 500 million in hand is almost enough. She has plenty of ammunition. If it is not enough, she can sell her house in Beijing.

Compared to his previous business in Beijing, where he was constantly controlled by Tan Xisong, a CCTV executive, and treated as her puppet, he feels that his second venture will be much more relaxed, comfortable, and confident.

The only thing that made her somewhat regretful was...

The message she received this morning didn't quite match her current good mood, creating a double celebration.

Sister Tan.

Her dear Sister Tan.

She withdrew so quickly, without giving him a chance to give her a "big surprise," which she had been hoping would embarrass him.

"so annoying!"

"I wonder if that guy will continue to target Zhuzhu Company, which has already changed its name."

Yin Mingzhu muttered to herself.

With her newly hired secretary and assistant, holding a regional agency contract for Lianxiang Company products that many would envy, dressed in a well-fitting black blazer, a pencil skirt, her straight legs encased in flesh-colored stockings, and red-soled black high heels, she boarded a plane from Beijing to Xingcheng in Hunan Province, a thousand miles away, to embark on her own future and battlefield.

The guy she was talking about, Lu Yang, was still receiving a steady stream of news from China, even though he was still abroad.

For example, Zhuzhu Advertising Company changed its name to Xixi Entertainment Advertising Company, and even the legal representative of the company changed. It has now become a wholly-owned company of Tan Xisong.

This woman is really daring; she resigned from her job without hesitation.

There's actually more to the story.

Before she resigned from her job and formally submitted her "Application for Leave Without Pay," she used her connections to go through several channels before finally getting in touch with Lu Yang.

Because of an unpleasant conversation between the two, Lu Yang blocked her number, so this time she came to sincerely apologize to Lu Yang.

After all, even if she changed the legal representative and the name of Zhuzhu Company without Lu Yang's approval, if Lu Yang still wanted to target this sucker company, she wouldn't have any good ways to deal with it.

Of course, Lu Yang wasn't that bored. The other party wasn't some stray dog ​​on the street that he could kick whenever he wanted. After all, the other party was a former public servant of CCTV who had made great contributions to CCTV. This time, he had taken the initiative to save face, and his connections at CCTV hadn't been depleted.

For example, right now, it's obvious that the other party's connections are at play. A CCTV leader is still giving her face, otherwise this call wouldn't have gotten through.

If Lu Yang continues to hold on to this, in the eyes of these bigwigs, it will be his fault. Not only will he be unable to continue to block the new company that has changed its name, but he will also find it difficult to even try to annoy them.

After all, the company is located in Beijing and has CCTV backing it. If a big shot from CCTV really stands up to endorse this new company...

Lu Yang had no other options.

"Know when to stop, little brother. Sister Tan helped you get revenge before, so we should still have some goodwill towards each other. How about we continue to cooperate in the future? At worst, I'll give you even more benefits on top of what we've done before."

"Alright, let's forget about continuing the cooperation. Your Sister Tan is too cunning. She even cheated her former partner, who was like a sister to her. Her character... Let's go our separate ways from now on. Most of the headquarters of my Lu Yang's companies are in the south. Even if there is advertising and consulting business in the future, we can just hand it over to companies in the south. There's no need for you, Sister Tan, to worry about it."

If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Lu Yang didn't believe that a northern advertising company with CCTV leaders as its backers could be blacklisted just by his word. He thought it was all done by the other party.

Now that their scheme has succeeded, they have actually helped themselves.

That stupid woman's company went bankrupt.

They took away the legal representative of Zhuzhu Company and made her a beautiful wedding dress. Of course, the price was a bit too high. After all, it's not easy to get a position as the head of a department at CCTV in your early forties.

But did I ask her for help?

Hmph, what a self-righteous act of kicking someone when they're down. That stupid woman can bully herself, but when did it become anyone else's turn to bully her?

To expect him and Lu Yang to continue their cooperation is simply a pipe dream.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yang instructed his new assistant behind him: "Write this down and inform them when you get back that although Xixi Entertainment Advertising Company has changed its name, it is still on our Century Group's blacklist. There's no need to pay any attention to it."

"Understood, Chairman."

Lu Nini, the newly appointed chairman's assistant who had been in office for just one month, quickly took out her notebook from her bag and wrote down this important instruction from the chairman in red.

"By the way, where's that nagging, stupid woman?"

Lu Yang turned back to her: "Nini, she's your idol. Haven't you been keeping up with her latest news in China?" (End of Chapter)
