"You're a traitor, don't forget you're also from the Xiao family. Are you selling out the interests of the company just to compete with me?"

"A member of the Xiao family? Sorry! My last name is Lin, not Xiao. Ask yourself, is there ever a moment when you truly regarded me as a member of the Xiao family, as a brother?"

"For so many years, you, Xiao Liang, have everything: status, position, knowledge, and wealth. But I, on the other hand, can only live in your shadow forever. When my mother and I go out, we dare not admit that we are from the Xiao family. Even in the company, I can't call the chairman "Dad."

"How am I, Lin Ziliang, any worse than you? But over the years, our treatment has been worlds apart. You're a son of a wealthy family, enjoying the pampering of your entire family and company, and what about me? I'm not even a human being, but a shadow, unworthy of even a surname."

"You don't understand the pain in my heart!"

Xiao Liang let go of Lin Ziliang's collar and said, "No matter how painful and unwilling you are, it's not a reason for you to betray the company. Stop making excuses for yourself."

"Do you think I'm making excuses? Do you think I'm trying to give myself a just reason? No, you're wrong. I don't want to make any excuses at all. Just based on the injustices my mother and I have suffered in this family for so many years, I want to take back everything we deserve."

"Ha! You're really arrogant! What makes you so confident?"

Xiao Liang sneered, "Is it just based on your partnership with Qin Fan? Don't be ridiculous! If you can cooperate with him, I can do the same. Moreover, if I lead the cooperation, it will bring greater benefits to Misha. Wake up, you won't stand a chance if you want to fight me!"

Lin Ziliang didn't expect Xiao Liang to say that, and he stood there in a daze for a moment.

One of them is the president and the other is the vice president, and the chips they can bring in are orders of magnitude different.

If Xiao Liang really doesn't care about what Qin Fan did before and swallows his pride to cooperate with him, it is really possible that he will poach this heavyweight ally.

What to do now?

……

With the media's hype, the news of Gao Wen's cheating quickly spread from online to offline, becoming a topic of gossip among people after dinner.

A large number of black fans gathered under the Weibo post. Some did not believe it, some sought the truth, some cursed her, and some even sent greetings to her family. The comment section was filled with messy messages.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more serious, Wang Jiesen had no choice but to close the comment section.

Gao Wen no longer cares about these things. After playing a game of cards with Qin Fan, their relationship quickly heated up, and they couldn't wait to stick together every minute.

Big stars are different. The mental stimulation brought by this halo is much greater than that of other women. No wonder those rich men like to play with female stars.

Seeing a face that only appears in movies, TV shows or entertainment news appear in front of you up close, and making a begging look, the sense of satisfaction instantly soars to the peak.

Qin Fan was in better condition than ever before. The space in the lounge was limited and he couldn't move around. There were a lot of reporters gathered at Gao Wen's door, and Qin Fan couldn't go home. So the two of them came to the Dream Qi Hotel in Shanghai and started their second match.

Gao Wen never expected Qin Fan's physical fitness to be so strong. She was quickly defeated and had her head pressed down pitifully as compensation.

.......

782: Sharing a husband! Pay extra!

Xiao Liang was very anxious. While Gao Wen was being attacked, he, as Gao Wen's official boyfriend, would of course be greatly affected. He couldn't take off the green hat.

He knew that the situation could not continue to develop and that public opinion had to be calmed down as quickly as possible.

So that night, Xiao Liang found Wang Jiesen again, and the two went to Mengqi Hotel together.

When Xiao Liang saw the radiant and tender-faced superstar, he was immediately furious. I was almost banging my head against the wall. These two dogs were hiding here and having fun. Can't they just behave like human beings?

Xiao Liang suppressed his anger and said, "Boss Qin, the reason I came to you so late at night is to solve the problem. Let's stop blaming each other and hiding things. It's of no benefit to any of us three. Let's just speak frankly."

Qin Fan nodded, "You talk, I'm listening."

"Regarding this incident, I hope Ms. Gao Wen can remain silent. I will terminate my contract with her and use her image as a victim to guide public opinion. To this end, I can compensate Ms. Gao Wen."

"We will pay the full amount on the contract and compensate Ms. Gao Wen 30 million. Is that okay with you?"

When the contract was signed, the endorsement fee was doubled to 30 million, and another 30 million was compensated, which meant that Gao Wen took 60 million from Tong Ling.

This amount seemed quite high to Xiao Liang, but Wang Jiesen was the first to object.

"Of course not! If you do that, wouldn't that just confirm the rumor that Gao Wen is two-timing? Gao Wen's career path would end right here. You're trying to buy us off with a mere 30 million? I absolutely won't agree!"

Xiao Liang understood what Wang Jiesen meant. He thought the money was too little and wanted more money.

"Then how many do you want?"

"If it's less than 100 million, don't even think about asking our baby to take the blame for you!"

"You're asking for too much! You know, it was Qin Fan who broke the news. I don't care about that matter, but you still have the nerve to ask for so much money. Do you really think we psychics are easy to bully?"

"You don't have to agree to it. We can each do our own thing. How you want to guide public opinion is up to you. We will expose the details of the contract and tell the outside world that Gao Wen's relationship with you is fake and all for marketing hype."

"You are breaching the contract by doing this. I can definitely sue you!"

"Then go ahead and sue us! We're not afraid of lawsuits."

"How shameless!"

This is what Xiao Liang is most worried about. Once the outside world knows that their relationship is fake, everyone will feel fooled. Gao Wen will be fine then, but Tong Ling will have to bear all the anger, and the damage to the company will increase further.

This is also the reason why he was willing to pay Gao Wen to shut up. Unexpectedly, Wang Jiesen took advantage of this and raised the price.

"One hundred million is too much. I'm willing to compensate Miss Gao Wen fifty million, plus the amount of the contract, for a total of eighty million. This is the highest price I can offer. If you agree, we can still discuss. If you don't agree, it will be a pity."

Qin Fan raised his hand to stop Wang Jiesen, "We can accept the 30 million yuan compensation, but there are two conditions."

"Please tell me."

"Gao Wen has over a dozen endorsements. If something like this happens, they'll definitely want to terminate their contracts. Although not every brand will demand compensation, there are quite a few. I hope you can bear the responsibility for Gao Wen's compensation."

Xiao Liang agreed without hesitation.

"This incident has had a significant impact on Miss Gao Wen's reputation, so it's only right that we bear her losses."

"One more condition. I will make Gao Wen famous again in the future. I hope you can invest in film and television dramas then. The amount should be no less than 30 million."

"I can agree to this, but before that, I hope Misia can restart negotiations with us. The price you offered last time was too low. I can't agree to this price no matter what."

Xiao Liang took the opportunity to put forward his own request.

Qin Fan was surprised. "Does your Chairman Xiao agree to restart the negotiations?"

"I have already consulted the chairman about this matter, and he has appointed me to take full charge of the negotiations with Misia."

"Interesting! It seems that Vice President Lin has been busy for so long and has gained nothing!"

Xiao Liang's face turned serious. "We are all very pressed for time. Please stop talking about topics that have nothing to do with the negotiation, okay?"

"In that case, I won't play games with you. I promised Vice President Lin before that Misia's full channel resources would be worth 2 billion. We will invest another 1.5 billion in funds and get 30% of your company's shares. Now I'm offering you the same terms. What do you think?"

For Qin Fan, no matter which of the two brothers cooperates with him, he welcomes them. As long as the investment in Tongling is successful and the company is tied to Misha's chariot, everything else will be easy.

As for the fight between them, what does it have to do with me, Qin Fan?

Xiao Liang pondered for a moment. Although the price was still very high, it was not unacceptable. Misha's sales channels were really tempting.

There's no way around it, since Qin Fan is a cheater. With both the reputation booster and the sales booster working together, his sales are simply too impressive.

The only thing that made Xiao Liang hesitate was that the other party wanted too many shares.

"The best we can give is 20 percent."

"There's no point in discussing the shares, Mr. Xiao. You have to understand that Misia's investment in Tongling is for strategic cooperation, not just a simple financial investment. We hope to form a closer cooperative relationship with Tongling. If the shareholding is too small, there's no point in investing in Tongling."

Xiao Liang argued with reason, and spoke until his mouth was dry, but he still failed to make Qin Fan give in.

Compared with Misha, Tong Ling still seems too weak and can offer very few conditions. However, they urgently need Misha's channels to improve their performance and are completely dominated by Qin Fan.

Seeing that the negotiations had reached a deadlock again, Xiao Liang had no intention of continuing to argue with him. He decisively cut the Gordian knot and agreed to Qin Fan's conditions.

Both parties called in lawyers overnight to sign the contract, mainly Gao Wen's contract. There were still many details to discuss about Misha's investment in Tong Ling, which could not be explained in a few words.

After a busy period, it was already two o'clock in the morning. Xiao Liang did not stay any longer and left with the contract.

The first thing he did after returning was to instruct his subordinates to issue a notice stating that the contract with Gao Wen had been terminated, and Xiao Liang himself had also broken up with Gao Wen peacefully.

Gao Wen continued to play dead and never responded to any criticism from the outside world.

In this cheating incident, Gao Wen was the one who suffered the most.

But she didn't mind bearing this stigma, mainly because her ex-boyfriend Han Bin had not been found yet, and the photos in his hands posed a huge threat to her.

If the facts are clarified now and she continues to be a big star, if Han Bin jumps out and posts private photos online one day, it will probably be a new round of Thor's hammer.

Instead of that, it would be better to temporarily quit the entertainment industry and get some compensation from Xiao Liang. Why not?

Of course, if Gao Wen knew that the follow-up about the private photos was all made up by Qin Fan, she probably wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

Qin Fan was also quite satisfied. He didn't like Gao Wen's personality very much.

This girl has such a bad temper. She gets mad and walks away easily if she disagrees with you. Dating her is like dancing with a time bomb in your arms.

Even with the system's help and guidance, Qin Fan couldn't guarantee whether Gao Wen would cause trouble in the future.

Gao Wen is different from other women. When Jiang Nansun gets angry, she is just sad. At most, she will tell Zhu Suosuo about it, which has little impact.

If Gao Wen loses her temper and starts to lose her mind, she might expose Qin Fan to the media reporters, and that would be a big deal.

Therefore, when dealing with Gao Wen, it is still inclined to let her have a breakdown like in the original drama, change her temper, and face the reality, knowing that she cannot live without herself, so that she can truly accept the fact of coexisting with other women.

.......

783: Alliance! Mi Meili’s little thoughts!

The subsequent negotiations between Misha and Tongling will be continued by the team led by Manager Han from the marketing department. Qin Fan just kept an eye on it and did not personally participate in the matter.

Lin Ziliang didn't expect Xiao Liang to be so decisive and quickly put aside their past grudges and reach a settlement with Misha. He was very unwilling and took the initiative to contact Qin Fan, trying to persuade him to put the negotiations on hold.

"Vice President Lin, I understand your resentment. Everything was clearly planned, but in the end, you didn't get any benefits at all. If it were me, I would also be unwilling to accept it."

"But it's useless to just be unwilling. You have to offer me something that will attract me. Otherwise, Misha's investment in Tongling will become a foregone conclusion, and no one can stop it."

"I know. Please help me this time. I really don't want to see Xiao Liang succeed..." Lin Ziliang continued to plead.

Qin Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "We're in business, and our primary goal is to make money. If you ignore that and get involved in some personal grudge, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you."

"To be frank, you're not in the right state right now. Your mind is completely consumed by the obsession of revenge against Xiao Liang. If you still want to defeat Xiao Liang, you'd better adjust your state immediately and take a long-term view."

"Misha's investment in Tongling and becoming the second largest shareholder will also be beneficial to you."

Lin Ziliang's mind raced, "Boss Qin, are you planning to join forces with Xiao Liang?"

What he was most worried about was not Misha's investment, but the two of them joining forces to deal with him. If that situation really happened, Lin Ziliang would have no choice but to lie down and would not be able to resist at all.

"Why should I team up with Xiao Liang? You know, Gao Wen's scandal was caused by me. I ruined Xiao Liang's plan to create a scandal. He almost hates me to death. Cooperating with Misha was a last resort. It doesn't mean he will forgive me."

After hearing what he said, Lin Ziliang finally breathed a sigh of relief. The worst situation did not happen. Qin Fan, this ally, was still quite reliable.

"Boss Qin, thank you for your trust in me. I helped Xiao Liang escape this time, but he might not be so lucky next time."

Qin Fan smiled secretly. This guy's mind was always targeting Xiao Liang. He was paranoid to the extreme. If he was not useful to him, he would have no interest in cooperating with him at all.

"Vice President Lin, have you ever thought about this question: what kind of existence are you in Chairman Xiao's heart?"

Lin Ziliang's smile was very forced. After this incident, he completely saw the position of Xiao Liang in Xiao Zhendong's heart. No matter how harsh he said, his actions were doting to the extreme.

When the company faced such a huge crisis, not only did they not fire Xiao Liang, they also gave him the negotiation power. This heavy trust was far beyond what I could have.

"Mr. Xiao has been in the business world for decades. What kind of schemes and tricks hasn't he seen? How could he not see your dissatisfaction and targeting of Xiao Liang? I think that's impossible. I'm afraid that in Mr. Xiao's mind, you are Xiao Liang's whetstone. He wants to use you to sharpen Xiao Liang."

Qin Fan intentionally or unintentionally stirred up trouble between the father and son, planting a seed of suspicion in Lin Ziliang.

Lin Ziliang's heart tightened. "You mean, I've been acting in front of my father for so many years, and he actually knows everything?"

"Honestly, your acting is average. Even an outsider like me can see the clues. There's no reason why Mr. Xiao couldn't see it. Maybe he's just pretending to be confused."

Qin Fan sighed, "If that's the case, you'd better prepare early."

Lin Ziliang felt very disappointed after hearing these words. It turned out that for so many years, he had just been a tool to train Xiao Liang.

When Xiao Liang truly grows up one day, Xiao Zhendong will step back behind the scenes and hand over the company to him. Maybe he will reward himself with some money, but this is definitely not what he wants.

"so what should I do?"

At this time, Lin Ziliang was really panicked and couldn't help but ask Qin Fan, an outsider, for help.

"In my opinion, you should stop trying to be clever in front of your father. You can just do the opposite. After all, crying children get milk, right?"

"You want me to confess my mistake directly to my father?"

"Yes, you must sincerely apologize to him and tell him about the pain you've been harboring over the years. He is your father after all. You can favor the eldest brother, but you can't treat him too differently. Maybe this will work wonders."

According to Xiao Zhendong's later actions, he was still very caring towards Lin Ziliang. He divided the shares in his hands into two parts, with more than half given to Xiao Liang and a small half to Lin Ziliang.

Being able to love a child taken in by someone else to this extent already makes him a good father.

In contrast, his mother is always trying to stir up trouble, to drag Xiao Liang down and to highlight her own son. Instead, she gives people the impression that she is too petty and is far from worthy of the status of a wealthy wife.
