Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

I really should review my work. I guess the shareholders will hold a board meeting tomorrow, and I'll need you, the director, to support Andy then. After all, the acquisition of Red Star has reached a critical juncture!"

"Don't worry about that. I support both you and Andy. You don't have to worry too much about Andy. Shengxuan's focus and foundation in recent years has been on home appliances.

From this perspective, acquiring a well-established company like Red Star is a must. Unless there are major problems, replacing the leader at the last minute is out of the question."

"Well, I'm just making some preparations. You don't know, but I'm actually under a lot of pressure. Although Shengxuan seems to be developing year after year in recent years, in fact, it's either not making progress or regressing.

Therefore, any wrong decision could lead to a disaster. Therefore, the acquisition of Red Star is a must. Andy is the key figure, so no amount of attention can be given to him!

As they were talking, the two walked into the reception room. Tan Zongming turned on his computer and browsed the post while saying:

"It seems we've been at ease for too long, and everyone in the office has become lazy. I'll investigate this matter thoroughly and resolve it as soon as possible."

Han Tao nodded and said, "It's imperative to resolve this as soon as possible, but this is also an opportunity. You and I both understand the Andy incident; it's clearly a rumor spread by someone. So, it all depends on how we proceed.

Shengxuan Group has indeed developed well in recent years, but the overly stable atmosphere has caused the company to lose its sense of crisis.

Since Andy was falsely accused of spreading rumors this time, why don't we take this opportunity to strengthen our crisis response capabilities.

You should hold a press conference to quickly determine who is responsible for the crisis and hold those responsible for spreading rumors accountable, thereby creating a corporate image that can handle crises!"

"Han Lu's intention is to disclose the truth of the incident to consumers and netizens through websites and news media, and to demand an apology from the person who spread the rumor, and even to ask the public security organs to intervene.

By the way, we can also promote Shengxuan Group's corporate culture and express our attitude towards consumers and the community. Of course, we also need to rectify our internal affairs and send a message that the company supports and understands all employees, thereby increasing a sense of belonging within the team."

Seeing that Tan Zongming understood what he meant, Han Tao nodded and said, "That's what I mean. You will handle the company's image issues, and leave the legal aspects to my team.

After this stock market turmoil, the battlefield in Shanghai will be even more volatile. The Internet era has entered a period of rapid development, so the awareness of public opinion crisis management and prevention must also be strengthened.

The relevant management departments must also be reorganized. You've also invested on Wall Street, so you understand the domestic situation. Shengxuan Group is a listed company, so the stock market needs to be taken seriously. You should know how much negative news about a company can impact its stock price."

Hearing this, Tan Zongming was silent for a while, then said seriously: "Han Lu, thank you. I will fully consider the problems and suggestions you raised. I will also solve Andy's problem. Don't worry!"

"Of course I'm relieved. This is just a small matter for you, Old Tan. I'm just reminding you. It's necessary to plan ahead. After all, I'm also a director of Shengxuan Group, and we will have great cooperation in the future."

"Han Lu saved face for me, Tan Zongming. It's true that I didn't do my job well. We must always be prepared for danger.

The bigger the ship, the harder it is to turn around. Especially at this time, we must be more cautious. Shengxuan Group may seem prosperous, but there are many eyes watching. Only by being cautious at all times can we avoid disaster.

After saying that, Tan Zongming asked the housekeeper to pour tea for Han Tao, and after chatting for a few words, he picked up the phone and called Lao Yan, asking him to help investigate what was going on and who was behind it.

In addition, he also contacted a good friend of his who worked at a crisis public relations company and entrusted his team to be fully responsible for Shengxuan’s public relations matters.

This shows that Tan Zongming really took Han Tao's words seriously, and he knew that he had been concentrating on the development and growth of the company before, and had indeed ignored some internal problems of the company, as well as the company's ability to deal with public opinion crises.

Chapter 370 Lao Yan's Investigation Results

On the Ode to Joy side, after Fan Shengmei returned home, she saw Qiu Yingying grinning foolishly as if she was drunk as soon as she entered the house.

When she went up to ask, she found out that Qiu Yingying had drunk more than 30 cups of coffee in the afternoon in order to distinguish the varieties, so she looked like she was drunk.

Just when he was worrying, Andy came back and hurriedly warned Qiu Yingying not to drink coffee like this, as it would stimulate her central nervous system. Then he poured her a glass of water and helped Fan Shengmei help Qiu Yingying to the room to rest.

After the two of them settled Qiu Yingying and returned to the living room together, Fan Shengmei pulled Andy to sit next to the table and discussed the online rumors with Andy. Andy then told her about the note left on her car.

After hearing this, Fan Shengmei said with concern, "Andy, those brainless netizens have even found your car. No one can predict what will happen next."

Hearing this, Andy leaned back in his chair and responded with a frown: "I've taken pictures and I'm going to call the police!"

"Calling the police for a note? Don't be silly. The police will probably not accept the case."

As she spoke, Fan Shengmei looked at Andy thoughtfully and reminded her, "Andy, did you offend someone? Also, what's going on between you and Qidian?"

Andy looked at her in confusion and said directly, "There's nothing wrong between me and Qidian. We just had a few meals together. And I told you everything when I got back. Who could I possibly offend?"

Fan Shengmei said thoughtfully, "There's only your photo posted online right now, and those sock puppets running around are trying to divert public opinion towards you. I'm wondering if Qidian has already been taken."

"No way?"

Hearing this, Andy was stunned by Fan Shengmei's question and said hesitantly, "I specifically asked Qidian when I met him, and he said he didn't have a girlfriend."

"Then why did the person who posted this target you? Did Qidian offend someone, and someone wanted to punish him, and you were dragged into it? But that doesn't make sense. Why did they only target you to slander him?

How about this, you give Qidian a call right now, this matter has been widely spread, see if he has any clues, it's better than us guessing here!"

Fan Shengmei didn't know what was going on for a moment, so she could only ask Andy to ask Qidian to see if Andy was implicated.

Andy shook his head. "Singularity is overseas now, so it's not very convenient to contact him. Besides, we haven't been in touch for many days."

"I don't think he can be of much help, otherwise he wouldn't have disappeared. It seems you need to pay more attention to your safety until the problem is resolved."

Fan Shengmei didn't know what to do, so she could only remind Andy to be careful recently to avoid being blocked by netizens offline.

………………

At the same time, Han Tao had just left Tan Zongming's villa, and Lao Yan also found some clues. After all, the other party only sent Andy's photos, and there were no photos or information about Wei Wei at all, only you and your name. It is obvious that it is aimed at Andy, and is related to Wei Wei.

So Lao Yan used his connections to quickly find the poster. Andy's rumor-mongering was related to the daughter of a foreign trade boss. Then he followed the clues and collected relevant information.

Although there was no substantial evidence, there were still insiders in the small circle, so Lao Yan quickly brought the information he had found to Tan Zongming's house and said directly as soon as he entered the door:

"Old Tan, this was done by a girl named Aguannan. I've learned through my connections that it's basically confirmed that she did it, but I don't have any evidence."

"Then why is this girl named Guannan targeting Andy? What is her relationship with Wei Wei?"

"That's a long story. Guannan's father is also involved in foreign trade like Wei Wei, and his business mainly involves steel.

But due to the overall environment and the other party's poor management, their company is now facing a major crisis, and the reason she did this was to be with Wei Wei."

Having said this, Yan Lu looked at Tan Zongming, and seeing him nod in understanding and signal him to continue, he continued:

"As for Wei Wei, he doesn't like Guannan. However, his foreign trade company has been doing well in recent years, so Guannan is a bit persistent. She believes that if their family can cooperate with Wei Wei, they will definitely be able to overcome the crisis and even grow bigger and stronger."

Tan Zongming nodded again and said, "So she spread rumors about Andy in order to create public opinion and force Wei Wei to be with her?"

"That's right. Although her method is a bit stupid, it's not surprising that a rich second-generation like her has no brains. But this Wei Wei, although he has many girls around him, he has never had a long-term relationship with any of them.

So A Guannan felt that she was in the right, but after Andy returned to China, Wei Wei asked her out for dinner many times, and even among Wei Wei's circle of friends, there were rumors that he and Andy were a couple.

Therefore, in order to force Andy to break up with Wei Wei, A Guannan played the role of a mistress. That's why there's no information or photos of Wei Wei online, but instead, all there are are negative images and photos of Andy.

Hearing this, Tan Zongming fell into deep thought. Wei Wei must have known about this matter. He must have had a purpose for not showing up.

However, Tan Zongming estimated that Wei Wei was planning to play along with the enemy. When public opinion reached a certain point, he would come out to clarify and thus be with Andy in a natural way. After all, this person had been preliminarily investigated and it turned out that he did not have a family.

In other words, this incident could benefit Wei Wei, so Wei Wei stayed silent and pretended not to know about it, or that he couldn't control the rumor-mongering.

Seeing Tan Zongming lost in thought, Yan Lvming looked at him and said, "Old Tan, what should we do next? Should I talk to this Guannan's father and ask his daughter to delete the post and clarify the facts online?"

Tan Zongming came back to his senses and said, "Don't look for her for now. Just know what happened. You continue to collect evidence. It must be solid evidence. Even if you have to find someone to guide her to confess in person, it will be easy as long as there is evidence.

Moreover, this incident has already had an impact on Andy. If we simply ask her to delete the post, netizens will only think that she deleted it under pressure or was threatened. Andy's reputation will not be restored, and the company's image will not be effectively improved.

Yan Luming nodded and responded, "That's indeed the case. Just wait, I'll arrange to collect evidence as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I still need to consider the issue of crisis public relations. Han Lu's entertainment company is also strong in handling this kind of thing, so I'll ask them for help.

Now let’s put other issues aside. This is indeed a good opportunity for the company to establish a positive image of responsibility.

Furthermore, Han Lu is also planning to intervene. He probably wants to make an example of someone and let others know that I, Tan Zongming, of Shengxuan Group, am not a pushover. I haven't shown my power for too long, and someone has already dared to provoke me."

Yan Luming agreed, "That's true. We should take this opportunity to crack down on them."

"Okay, that's it. Thank you for your hard work today, Old Yan."

"Let's stop being polite. Whose information is this about Wei Wei? Take a look for yourself. I'm leaving now!"

"Okay, I'll take you there!"

After saying that, Tan Zongming stood up and took Lao Yan to the door. He watched him ride away on his Harley motorcycle, then returned to the living room to look at the documents in his hand.

The information inside is very comprehensive. From the data, it can be seen that Wei Wei is a very cunning person, very resourceful, and very selfish. I only did a rough investigation before, and now I know the specific information.

This Wei Wei defected from his partner during the economic crisis in 2008, but was eventually able to escape without much loss and is now thriving. It seems that he is not someone who can be easily dealt with.

Chapter 371 Andy's Visit and Han Tao's Answer

Fan Shengmei and Andy chatted for a long time in the living room of 2202, but in the end neither of them could think of an effective solution.

Just as Andy was about to leave, Guan Juer came back from get off work. After asking about the situation, she directly suggested:

"Sister Fan, Sister Andy, why don't we ask Brother Han? He's a big lawyer and should have handled a lot of cases like this. And after I finished talking to Sister Fan, I called him and he said he could handle it."

"Yes, Han Tao did call me. He said he would go to discuss this matter with Lao Tan first. I guess he should be back by now."

Andy nodded, then looked at her watch and said that although she didn't care much about it before, after talking with Fan Shengmei, she realized that this matter was not that simple, so she also wanted to hear Han Tao's opinions on how to deal with it.

Fan Shengmei slapped her forehead and said, "How could I have forgotten about him? Let's go upstairs!"

After saying that, Fan Shengmei gestured to Guan Juer to put down her bag and the three of them walked out of 2202 together.

Because it was only one floor away, they did not take the elevator but walked up the stairs and went straight to 2301.

At this time, Han Tao had just arrived home. He had just changed his clothes and was looking at some documents. When he heard the doorbell ring, he hurriedly opened the door and invited the three of them in.

Fan Shengmei had already learned from Andy and Guan Guan that Han Tao already knew about this matter, so she sat on the sofa and asked:

"Lawyer Han, Guan Guan has already told you, right? Andy has been accused of being a mistress online, and the situation is getting worse and worse, and it's starting to get out of control.

We all know that Andy was framed in this matter, but those people on the Internet don't know the truth of the matter, and those people hate mistresses the most, so they will only hold on to Andy.

I just chatted with Andy, and she found a note in her car when she got off work. If this continues, I think Andy's daily life will be greatly affected.

People are capable of anything these days. Who knows, they might even protest downstairs with banners or something even more radical. Andy said you talked to her boss about this. "Did anything come of it?"

Guan Juer also looked at Han Tao anxiously and chimed in, "Yeah, this matter is getting bigger and bigger, and many people in our company are talking about it. Brother Han, do you have any ideas?"

Sister Fan, Yingying, and I have been arguing with those people online for an entire afternoon, but no one believes us. I don’t know what’s going on, but most people are willing to believe those rumors!

Seeing that Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer were worried about him, Andy realized that it was not simple, but still pretended to be indifferent and said:

"Everyone, don't worry so much. I don't think it's that serious. The note might just be a prank."

"Andy, it's not as simple as you think. There's a saying in China: 'Rumors are more ferocious than tigers, and spit can drown people.' Not to mention how many families were torn apart by rumors in the old days, even now, many people have been killed by this kind of online trolling.

Although you won't be affected too much, after all, you are a rational person. But many netizens are extreme, so you must be on guard. However, you don't have to worry about this matter, just leave it to me and Lao Tan.

After hearing Han Tao's words, Andy felt indescribable. Seeing the few people who cared about him, he felt relieved. However, he still asked curiously:

"Han Tao, have you and Old Tan come up with a solution? Fan Xiaomei has already analyzed it for me. Besides me personally, this matter will also have a huge impact on the company. So I want to know, if this kind of thing really needs to be handled, will it be very troublesome?"

"Don't worry, Lao Tan just sent me an email. He's almost done investigating the matter, and I've sent someone to collect evidence."

Han Tao poured each of the three people a cup of tea before sitting down and continuing, "As for the impact of this incident, you don't have to worry. I own a film and entertainment company, and I've already asked the head of their public relations department to connect with Old Tan. You'll be fine."

"Big news! It turns out that Attorney Han also owns a film and television company?"

Fan Shengmei looked at Han Tao in surprise, then breathed a sigh of relief and jokingly said, "If you knew the situation, I wouldn't have to worry about it!

The film and television company's crisis public relations capabilities are beyond words. They can even suppress scandals involving big stars, so this little thing isn't a problem at all."

"I do understand this somewhat. Film and television companies often face this kind of crisis public relations. But Fan Xiaomei is wrong. Regardless, I want to thank you for helping me."

Hearing Andy say this, Fan Shengmei shook her head and said, "Why thank you? We are all friends, so don't be polite. Shanghai is so big, it's fate that we can become neighbors. Didn't you help us too?"

"Little Earthworm and I have both received your help, and we haven't been polite to you. Although Little Earthworm doesn't understand, I know you're doing this for her own good. And Guan Guan, she now idolizes you and Han Tao."

As she spoke, Fan Shengmei touched Guan Juer's hair. Seeing her embarrassed expression, she continued, "So, as friends, we can't just stand by and watch you get bullied. Although we don't have Han Tao's power, we will do our best."

"Yeah, Sister Andy, how can we just watch you being bullied?"

Guan Juer also nodded with a slight blush, then looked at Han Tao: "By the way, Brother Han, how are you going to deal with that rumormonger? We can't let him bully us like this!"

Han Tao nodded. "Don't worry, we won't let them get away with it. The internet isn't a lawless place. This rumor has been viewed over 5,000 times, forwarded over 500 times, and has received over 200 comments, so there are already several thousand."

Therefore, this matter is no longer a simple apology and deletion of the post, but it is completely sufficient to initiate an investigation. If there is sufficient evidence, the other party will be sentenced to at least three years.

In this way, with the crisis public relations handling first and the police issuing a statement later, it would be easy to clear the stigma of this so-called mistress."

"It really connects everything. Han Tao, shouldn't I call you Brother Tao? You are my idol, Fan Shengmei."

Fan Shengmei exaggeratedly gave Han Tao a wink, and then, under the teasing gazes of Andy and Guan Juer, she somewhat embarrassedly changed the subject and said:

"I almost forgot to ask. Didn't you just say that you've almost finished the investigation? Come on, who is targeting Andy? It must be related to that singularity, right?"

After hearing what Fan Shengmei said, Guan Juer looked at Andy and asked, "I also noticed that this post only has a photo of Andy, but no information about the male lead, Qidian.

Sister Andy, where is Qidian? Why hasn't he come out to clarify things at such a critical moment? "

"He's on a business trip abroad and his phone is unreachable. He probably doesn't know about this yet."
