youth immortal

The author has something to say:

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when many people were still on vacation, the top executives of FY all returned to the office building.

This is the case in the business world. When you are mature enough to compete with monopoly companies and become a thorn in the side of others, please welcome all kinds of open and dark arrows.

Not long ago, the autumn and winter models of FY clothing were sued by a Korean company for plagiarism and imitation.

"The autumn and winter clothes are basically the same, but they dare to sue just because of the similar style of a few coats?" Huang Zitao complained angrily, banging on the table in the meeting room.

Just after the emergency meeting was held, Wu Fan heard about it, endured the unwillingness and anger in his heart, closed his eyes and said: "The lawsuit is over, I can only see them in court."

Zitao cut a sharp tone: "I can't swallow this breath! If we are finally convicted of infringement, I will sue him to the end!"

Wu Fan rolled Zitao's eyes: "What are you suing him?"

Zitao was stunned, not knowing what to say.

"Have you heard of this company before?" Wu Fan continued to ask.

Zitao thought for a while, then shook his head.

Wu Fan snorted: "No! I asked Shen Ling to investigate, and the market value of this company is not even ranked high in Korea!"

"What?! Such a small company has the guts to sue us?" Zitao was stunned.

Wu Fan stood up suddenly, folded his elbows and looked out the window, thinking deeply: "It's not that simple..."

On the eve of the first trial of the infringement and plagiarism lawsuit, Wu Fan's office came in for a phone call.

"Mr. Wu, how are you doing?"

Wu Fan sneered at the familiar female voice: "Very good."

"Oh? It's so good that I'm going to court..."

"Cai Peini, is that you?"

"Huh? Can't you hear it? Still need to confirm? Hehe..."

"Enough is enough."

"You too. I've given you a lot of advice. Wouldn't it be nice to listen to it?"

"Thank you." Wu Fan hung up the phone harshly.He kept turning the pen in his hand.

The lawsuit continued on and off until the end of March, but South Korea did not win the case.However, when the incident got out, it had a bad impact on FY Clothing. During the few months of the lawsuit, the sales continued to drop, and the sales department launched many preferential plans, but the results were not satisfactory.

It coincided with the start of filming of Wu Fan's new movie, press conferences, etc., and inevitably encountered various news including magazine reporters' questions about copyright infringement.Wu Fan in front of the camera never talks much, and responds cleanly.During this period of time, Wu Fan lost control of his emotions in the face of repeated bombardment by reporters, and turned black on several familiar reporters.The incident was followed by rounds of negative reports.

Just when Wu Fan was in a state of desperation, Huang Zitao suddenly proposed to leave the company.

One afternoon in April, the two had a rare meeting and had afternoon tea casually.

Zitao seemed to hesitate for a long time, and said anxiously, "Brother Fan, I have something to discuss with you."

Wu Fan casually crossed the small dish of pasta in front of him, raised his head and said, "What's the matter, tell me."

Zitao swallowed, followed Wu Fan's eyes, and said fearfully, "I'm going to Italy at the end of the month."

"When, how long, and why?" Wu Fan thought Zitao wanted to go on vacation.

"April 4, two years, learning fashion design." Zitao sat up straight, overcame the obstacles in his heart, and replied calmly.

Hearing this, Wu Fan choked suddenly, coughed several times, drank his saliva, and hurriedly asked, "What? Say it again?"

Zitao said word by word, "I'm going to Milan at the end of this month to study fashion design."

Wu Fan took another sip of water, frowned, and looked displeased: "Why are you always like this? When you think about it, you always think about it."

Zitao turned his head and looked away: "I've been thinking about this matter for a long time. The company was so busy a while ago, I couldn't say anything. I have already handled the school air ticket and visa by myself..."

Before Zitao could finish speaking, Wu Fan interrupted him with a sneer: "Yeah, you told me a few years ago that you wanted to act, and I recommended you to Director Zhang. If you want to play with costumes, I also arranged for you to work in several departments of the company." Trainee. You signed a contract to enter FY, and I will give you shares. Now the company needs you so much, you said you want to learn fashion design, so you just pat your ass and leave?!" At the end, Wu Fan angrily threw the tablecloth on his lap At the table, shout loudly at the waiter: "Water!"

Zitao sighed, not feeling angry in one place.

The idea of ​​studying fashion design has been lurking in Zitao's mind for some years.He formally joined FY at the end of last year. He has more acting opportunities and learned a lot in the company's creative design department.He is not born with leadership and management skills like Wu Fan.The days when he was an intern in the design department increased his ambition in fashion design, and he wanted to really concentrate on studying design more and more.

After New Year's Day at the beginning of the year, Zitao began to apply for schools by himself.Originally, I wanted to discuss with Wu Fan after the new year, but unexpectedly a lawsuit happened.He kept silent.

Not long ago, the admission notice of the Milan Design School came. He saw that the company's affairs had calmed down, so he explained to Wu Fan.

Who knew that Wu Fan would get so angry at him, Zitao's tone became anxious: "It's not that I won't come back! Going to study design is also for the company, isn't it? Don't always think of me as the former Huang Zitao who came on a whim and didn't understand anything. No? I have considered this matter very maturely, and I have to go no matter what I say!"

Wu Fan made a gesture of invitation, and said coldly: "Then you go! No!"

Zitao shook his head, and finally said helplessly: "On the 30th, you must come see me off. Let's go."

Capital Airport on April 4.

"Zitao, don't wait any longer. He's really gone to publicize today, and he won't be coming. Hurry up and get in. The boarding gate will be closed!"

Huang Zitao stubbornly refused to leave the gate of international departure.Seeing that time is limited, Jiang Xue is persuasive and persuasive.

Lu Han patted Zitao on the shoulder: "Let's go, Zitao. We will go to Milan to see you when we have time."

Zitao pouted, clutching the strap of the shoulder bag tightly, with a gloomy expression on his face: "He has to come see me off."

Jiang Xue couldn't stand it, so she gave Zitao a push: "Don't be stubborn, can you? If you miss this flight, you won't even be able to register at the Milan school!"

Zitao hasn't cried in the past few years, and he doesn't feel sad when his old injury recurs, when he doesn't perform in plays, or when he doesn't have activities.Only this time, Wu Fan got angry with himself.Make him afraid.But he clearly said that Wu Fan must come to see him off, and he also sent a text message to apologize, explain and remind.Although Wu Fan didn't reply, he didn't refuse either.

For so many years, they have bumped and bumped all the way, and made troubles until today.Wu Fan and Yu Zitao are as reliable as the elder brother.It seemed that no matter how much I tossed Wu Fan, made fun of Wu Fan, and Wu Fan scolded himself angrily, the matter was over.Even Wu Fan would often take the initiative to apologize to Zitao because he felt that he was too harsh.

But this time, Zitao knew that he probably really hurt Wu Fan's heart.Therefore, he was very persistent in hoping that Wu Fan would come to see him off, and he hoped that before he left, he could resolve the misunderstanding with Wu Fan and go to Milan with peace of mind.

But he was eager to see through, and he couldn't wait for Wu Fan. (I shouldn’t be laughing here, forgive me, haha!) Being urged by Jiang Xue and Lu Han again, Zitao’s tears rolled in his eyes in desperation. I'm leaving. Take care." As he spoke, he hugged Lu Han tightly, then patted Jiang Xue's shoulders, "Jiang Xue, Brother Fan, please take care of him."

After explaining, Huang Zitao entered the barrier in a hurry, turned his head and waved his hands reluctantly, still hoping for a miracle.With loss, nervousness, and longing, Zitao walked into the pass with complicated emotions.

"Huang Zitao! Your brother is here!"

Jiang Xue screamed, calling back Zitao who had just turned around and entered the gate.

He turned his head in surprise and saw Wu Fan panting and waving at him.Zitao couldn't restrain his excitement, and shouted loudly: "Wu Yifan! I'll be back as soon as I go!"

Wu Fan smiled slightly and shouted: "Less dating there! Read more!"

"Hehehe..." Zitao nodded with a smirk, and turned around to accept the border inspection.

Time was tight, he waved vigorously to the three people outside, and left happily.

Jiang Xue smiled with ulterior motives, squinting at Wu Fan: "Hey, you're still here after all."

Wu Fan pushed his sunglasses, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that kid will be stupid."

"Ha ha!"

As soon as the words fell, the three of them laughed.

"Let's go, let's go home!" Wu Fan lowered his head slightly, and hugged Jiang Xue, "I want to eat fried chicken!" (Hahaha, I came again one day, sorry!)

"Old Wu, brother Xuanjun told me a while ago that he would not come back to Beijing. I didn't have time to ask. What do you mean?"

On the car back to the city from the airport, Lu Han carefully asked Wu Fan.

Wu Fan sighed, turned his head and looked out the window: "Probably won't come back for a while. Oh, Lu Han, your contract with the company has expired too? I heard you signed another record contract, what's going on?"

Lu Han smiled and explained: "It's just a record contract. After that, the performing arts will probably cooperate with Asia-Pacific."

Wu Fan nodded again and again, and patted him on the shoulder appreciatively: "Look far ahead, choose wisely."

"Hey, it's rare to praise me so much. I'm just a bit lazy. Unlike you, running a company by yourself, is it tiring?" Lu Han asked with concern after finishing his joke.

Jiang Xue sat in the co-pilot, turned her head and said, "I'm very tired. So you come and help him!"

Lu Han hurriedly waved his hands: "I'm not a business material."

"Oh, man..."

"What about you? Help Lao Wu share some burden?"

Jiang Xue almost choked, and smiled awkwardly, as if she really didn't help much...

"Xue'er, I have an idea."

In the kitchen of the Beijing apartment, Wu Fan leaned against the cabinet and said to Jiang Xue who was frying chicken.

Jiang Xue was ordering the chicken nuggets in the oil pan, then turned her head and asked, "What do you think?"

"I plan to sell the company's entertainment business to S`M."

"What?" Jiang Xue's eyes widened in shock, and she stood there in a daze.

Wu Fan took the long chopsticks from Jiang Xue's hand, continued to fry chicken, bowed his head and said, "Last week, South Korea was interested. I thought about it, and it's not impossible. It's still the same as before, Wu Yifan's studio."

Jiang Xue frowned tightly, staring deeply at Wu Fan in front of her.The busyness of the previous period made him particularly haggard.The new movie has just finished filming, and pressure from the box office and public opinion will follow.He is alone, and he has to manage the company up and down, and also has to act and run announcements.Before, although Zitao didn't care about things, he helped Wu Fan to some extent.Now that Zitao is gone, Wu Fan intends to abandon the entertainment industry. Is it really beyond his capabilities?Or, is it related to the lawsuit at the beginning of the year?

Korea interested?

Jiang Xue couldn't help shivering, was it intentional or deliberate?

That's right...why did a small Korean company sue FY?

Jiang Xue didn't dare to think about it.But after thinking about it, for the EXO group as a whole, such a merger might not be a bad thing.

EXO has not been disbanded nominally.However, since the establishment of FY, many members have joined the army at the same time. Showman Entertainment was obviously hit and suspended EXO's team activities.A while ago, I heard that Xiuman Entertainment and FY Entertainment had discussed a new album two years later, but nothing came of it.

Apart from domestic film and television resources in the past, Wu Fan and Zitao almost never set foot in Korean entertainment.Just relying on the few managers who followed them to change jobs, they really couldn't compete with the mature Xiuman Entertainment.

It seems that FY has a long way to go if it wants to truly do its own entertainment.

Wu Fan is right, now that FY temporarily puts aside the entertainment industry and concentrates on clothing brands, it is indeed the best choice.Since it is optimal, there is no fundamental reason.The intrigue in the mall is really not suitable for a pure hearted person like Wu Fan.

Jiang Xue put Wu Fan's shoulder lightly, leaned on his firm arm, and said softly, "I will support whatever you decide."

The corner of Wu Fan's mouth raised, and he glanced at Jiang Xue: "You don't have your own opinion?"

Jiang Xue pushed Wu Fan, retreated to the side, thought for a while, and said with sly eyes: "Acquisition is an acquisition. As long as we FY get a reasonable share and have the necessary independent judgment rights, just buy it!"

Wu Fan picked up the golden-fried chicken nuggets with poise, shook his head and said, "It's such a difficult negotiation task~ Who should I hand it over to?"

"I'm coming!" Jiang Xue patted her chest excitedly, full of confidence.

After a while, after experiencing it, it seemed that there was something wrong with it. Jiang Xue rolled her eyes and kicked Wu Fan: "Old fox! Plot me!"

"Ha ha……"

The old fox had already gnawed on the fried chicken with great momentum, stuffed a mouth full of chicken, and laughed at the chain reaction of his little fox.

The light on the dining table was dim and warm, and Jiang Xue fried a seasonal vegetable assortment as a side dish.The two faced each other and ate Xia Libaren's fried chicken, smiling and savoring the ordinary leisure in this moment of busyness.
