Dad Academy

"Hello everyone, I've heard about you for a long time, but I've been too busy, so I didn't make a special trip to thank you. This time I heard about the novel, and the case has made great progress, so I have to come over anyway."

Zhang Tan stood up, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with Qiu Daobang and Su Jiaxuan.

The two of them were surprised and a little flattered. Zhang Tan was so polite and polite that they didn't expect it.

Su Jiaxuan said: "Mr. Zhang, you are too polite. This is our job, and it is our responsibility to do a good job. Moreover, Jiang Ping's case makes us share the same hatred. We all want justice to be pronounced and illegal acts to be severely punished."

These words were very polite, both modest and condescending, showing that he was a partner on Zhang Tan's side.

Zhang Tan smiled and said, "Lawyer Su has a bright future."

Li Xiaoxiao said at this time: "Let's have dinner together at noon. Mr. Zhang invited me. Don't miss it. It's difficult to ask him to treat me to a meal. We have known each other for more than 20 years, and he has invited me only a handful of times."

Su Jiaxuan and Qiu Daobang couldn't help but become curious about the relationship between Zhang Tan and Li Xiaoxiao.

Zhang Tan said: "Lawyer Li and I grew up together. It's no exaggeration to say that we are childhood sweethearts."

Li Xiaoxiao laughed and said in her heart that with your original temperament, I would not want to be with your childhood sweetheart. However, if Zhang Tan is like this, she is still very willing.

Su Jiaxuan said quickly: "I have no problem."

Qiu Daobang has no problem either.

The four of them agreed to have lunch at a nearby restaurant at noon.

At this time, the glass door was knocked again, and a middle-aged man walked in.

His hair is thick, but his temples are gray, and his face is deep. It can be seen that he usually pays attention to maintenance, but the crow's feet and bags under the eyes inevitably reveal his age.

He is the boss of the law firm, Zhan Tianwei.

He was also a student of Grandpa Zhang Tan.

"Zhang Tan~ If you don't go to my place first when you come, if Xiao Tang hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known." Zhan Tianwei said to Zhang Tan as he entered the door.

Su Jiaxuan and Qiu Daobang on the side saw the big boss coming, and they couldn't help but lose their momentum. They had only met this dragon a few times in total. The longest time they met was when they passed the internship and officially joined the company. Li Xiaoxiao took him to Zhan Tianwei's office and chatted for ten minutes.

Zhang sighed: "I went as soon as I came, but you had a visitor in your office, so you came to Xiaoxiao. I was going to have a look again, so you came."

Zhan Tianwei didn't like Zhang Tan very much before, but he still took good care of him, mainly out of respect for the teacher.

Later, when Zhang Tan changed, he was overjoyed. His personal relationship with Zhang Tan gradually deepened, and he felt like they had known each other forever.

During lunch, Zhang Tan invited Zhan Tianwei to come too.

He didn't delay, he just arrived later. He originally had other important guests to receive at noon, but because of Zhang Tan's appearance, he changed his plan. After meeting and entertaining them, he left them to others to accompany them to dinner.

…

Zhang Minghai of Art Life Film and Television Group’s original wishful thinking was to rely on his relationship with the court to drag out the case until the prosecutor could no longer bear it and agreed to settle privately.

But his wishful thinking was wrong. On the one hand, Zhang Tan had no intention of reconciling privately. On the other hand, Zhang Tan was not afraid of his background strength.

Jiang Ping's case has now been investigated, and it is no longer just a work-related injury, but also involves Zhang Minghai's illegal behavior.

Zhang Minghai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot during this period. He was looking for connections in many ways to suppress this matter, but no connections were of any use.

So he wanted to meet with the lawyer, and through the lawyer, he wanted to meet with the client, that is, he wanted to have a face-to-face interview with Zhang Tan.

But he didn't even know who the client was.

After Zhang Minghai tried his best, he still couldn't save the slightest bit, so he knew that he was in trouble this time.

What bothered him the most was that he didn't even know who that person was.

As the case progressed and settled, first of all, Zhang Minghai was nominally fired from the Art Life Film and Television Group.

It turned out that this company had just been successfully listed overseas. It was just when the spring breeze was triumphant that the horse's hoof was broken. Zhang Minghai was also ambitious and wanted to do something big. However, the company overturned in the gutter. A "small case" from a few years ago brought the company to its knees. He was brought down.

He was expelled from the shareholders' meeting of the film and television group and no longer serves as a member of the board of directors.

Immediately afterwards, the compensation for Jiang Ping's case came, a total of 3.5 million.

This amount of money is the largest amount of compensation that Li Xiaoxiao can obtain, and it will be difficult to get any more.

For Zhang Minghai, 3.5 million can be taken out in minutes.

However, if there are more than a dozen 3.5 million yuan that he wants to pay, he will not be able to bear it.

Without so much cash, it was difficult to realize real estate, cars and other fixed assets for a while. In addition, the shareholders of Art Life Film and Television Group jointly requested him to sell his equity and be completely eliminated from the group.

Zhang Minghai finally realized that he had no choice but to sell his shares to other shareholders.

He almost shed tears when he sold the shares, and the price was based on the market value. However, because of his case, the market value has been falling since the listing. It can be said that he suffered a heavy loss.

Zhang Minghai lost money and was eliminated from the film and television group. More importantly, he was sentenced to 18 months in jail.

"Can you tell me, what are you doing behind my back???"

In the cell, Li Xiaoxiao, Qiu Daobang, and Su Jiaxuan came to meet Zhang Minghai for the last time. After leaving here, the Jiang Ping case was completely closed, and they could give Zhang Tan a perfect explanation.

When Li Xiaoxiao left, Zhang Minghai finally couldn't bear it anymore and made this request again, almost yelling, but his expression and tone were pleading.

Li Xiaoxiao stopped and turned around and said, "You really don't need to know. The key is not who it is, but the facts."

Zhang Minghai roared unwillingly from behind and watched helplessly as Li Xiaoxiao and others left.

What he didn't know was that as soon as he was dismissed from Art Life Group, his company immediately approached Zhang Tan and proposed a cooperation project.

Art Life Group is now controlled by overseas capital. After absorbing Zhang Minghai's equity, their shareholding ratio has exceeded 60%.

They approached Zhang Tan solely because of the strength of Zhang Tan's film and television company.

Although Little Red Horse Film and Television Company is not the largest company in China, and is not even ranked in the top ten, this company is very strong. It is a small but beautiful company with low profile and strength, which is in line with the cooperation conditions of Art Life Group.

This company is already very large, and what it lacks most now is the ability to grasp the market like Little Red Horse Film and Television Group.

Especially overseas capital wants to enter the Chinese film market. No matter how successful they are overseas, they will always be unaccustomed to China's climate, and local talents like Zhang Tan are urgently needed.

"Thunder Man" was one of their failed projects, completely defeated by Zhang Tan's "Zhu Xian".

"Mr. Zhang, the story of "Zhu Xian" is very exciting and the world view is very grand. There can be many sequels in the future to complete the construction of this fairy world. But the only flaw is that your special effects are not the most advanced, and we have the most advanced ones." With the support of the advanced film industry, if we cooperate, we can achieve the effect of 1+1 greater than 2."

The person who spoke was a young man. He was an interpreter and was responsible for conveying messages to several foreigners.

Zhang Tan wanted to tell him that I could understand English.

The foreigner sitting in the middle is named Smith, who is now the chairman of Art Life Film and Television Group. He is a purebred foreigner with a big nose and yellow hair, but he studied abroad at the Peking Film Academy when he was young, and later stayed at the school to teach for 5 years before leaving.

"Zhang, let's talk about it. We are both fellow disciples and teachers and students. Come on, let's work together."

Smith spoke a bunch of English, and the translator was stunned for a moment, thinking that you are too enthusiastic.

Smith had known Zhang Tan before coming here and knew that he also graduated from the Peking Film Academy, the same school as himself.

Of course, the two had no intersection at school. When Zhang Tan was studying, Smith had already returned to China.

However, what he said really moved Zhang Tan's heart.

If the story of "Zhu Xian" was matched with the most advanced international film industry, what kind of movie spectacle would it be.

The Marvel Universe in the previous life was just like this.

"Zhu Xian", "Legend of Sword and Fairy", and even White Snake, Journey to the West, Fengshen, etc. can be put on the big screen.

China has never lacked good story themes. What it lacks is people who can tell stories in film language and superb industrial special effects.

Zhang Tan even thought of science fiction movies, "The Three-Body Problem", "The Wandering Earth" and so on.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tan couldn't help but feel excited, pushing Chinese movies to make great strides forward. Compared with these, the movies he has made now can only be regarded as small projects, with a small pattern.

The deep, vague and fuzzy ideal in Zhang Tan's heart suddenly became clear and bright.
