Samsung Group's president, Li Jianxi, was suddenly admitted to the hospital. Something that could have caused a huge commotion miraculously didn't cause any waves.
When many people with ulterior motives wanted to use this opportunity to stir up trouble, they heard that Lee Jae-yong had already stabilized the situation in the company. Samsung Group was in an orderly manner. Not long after, they heard that Li Jianxi had woken up.
These people could only give up. If Lee Jae-yong was in charge, they could still find some loopholes to exploit. However, Li Jianxi's awakening was enough to shock everyone, even if he could only be awake for two or three hours a day.
Empire's power was steadily being handed over. No one saw any changes in the situation. It was as if the feuds between the rich and powerful families didn't exist.
Tang Jinyan hadn't seen Li Fuzhen in the past few days.
He knew that Li Fuzhen would be very busy these days. Just because there wasn't a fight outside didn't mean that she wasn't fighting for her own interests. The drama outside the ward was enough to give her more capital.
This kind of busyness was enough for her to temporarily forget about her family's disharmony, her inner desires, and the battle on the table.
Tang Jinyan also continued to bury his head in his own matters. In the short term, his main focus was to strengthen Quan Guangzhen and Long Ya's control over KBS and MBC.
As for being too vigilant against the enemy, no matter how vigilant they were, they could only tell all parties to be more vigilant. They couldn't scare themselves every day.
"After our collaboration with MBC became popular in an unscientific manner …" Song Ji-hyo was about to report to Tang Jinyan when Tang Jinyan held his forehead and interrupted: "What do you mean by unscientific?"
Song Ji-hyo laughed: "Okay, okay, okay, we're the ones who still can't believe it. Now you know that your yuri novel is invincible, okay?"
"That's more like it.
What happened after that? "
"SBS can't sit still anymore and wants to continue working with us."
"Can't you make the decision? Why do you have to ask me?"
Song Ji-hyo sighed: "Because our previous collaborations with SBS were all good dramas. Their expectations are different. If we don't meet their expectations, our reputation will be ruined.
My personal opinion is that we shouldn't work with SBS this year, but since we have such a good long-term relationship, it wouldn't look good to just reject them. I'd like to hear your opinion. "
"Hmm … Are there any scripts you like?"
"Not at the moment. Currently, SBS is planning to film 'She's Cute to Me', and they're currently casting.
Personally, I don't think so, so I don't want to get involved. "
"Then just give me some sponsorship. It won't hurt our friendship."
Tang Jinyan thought for a while and was a little curious. "SBS didn't even react to our interference in KBS and MBC. Why would they continue to cooperate with such naive people?"
Song Ji-hyo laughed and said, "They think that we're the ones who are stupid and sweet. We're clearly in control of the opposing TV station, yet we still help them film good dramas. It's still the problem of the brand. They think that they're the ones who are benefiting from it."
Tang Jinyan smiled and said, "That's true. You're still thinking of sponsoring, aren't you?
She is indeed quite naive and sweet. "
Song Ji-hyo said, "Don't tell me that you have plans for SBS as well?"
"No." Tang Jinyan paused and said very seriously, "You can't have any.
Through our relationship with CJ, we already have some influence in their cable channels. If all three channels were to get involved, then the first one to go against us would be Reuters. No one would be able to tolerate such a degree of control over the media, and we can't be too unsightly when we eat.
Maintaining a relationship with SBS is also to ensure that there's still room for negotiation in the future.
They probably saw through this, so they're not worried at all about what I think. "
Song Ji-hyo nodded. "I don't know about these things. You can decide."
"Damn it, just thinking about it pisses me off." Tang Jinyan coldly snorted. "We've been taking advantage of others all our lives, but now we're being taken advantage of by SBS?
Go and tell them that we can sponsor them, but the female lead will be left to us. "
Song Ji-hyo couldn't help but laugh. She dialed a phone number in front of him and conveyed Tang Jinyan's intentions. She didn't know what the other party said, but Song Ji-hyo had a strange expression on her face as she covered the phone and asked Tang Jinyan, "They said that you know the female lead. Are you sure you want to change?"
Tang Jinyan was stunned. "Who is it?"
"SM's Zheng Xiujing."
"Why is it her again?
Why is it that she's everywhere … "
"This is the female lead. She's not just a soy sauce."
"Anyway, she's just a soy sauce …" Tang Jinyan waved his hand. "Forget it. If it's her, the little girl is quite cute. I'll give her some face and not change."
Song Ji-hyo said unhappily, "Give her face?
The point is that 'the little girl is quite cute', right?
I heard that there are sisters?
Are you imagining things? "
Sisters … Tang Jinyan immediately thought of the Samsung brand sisters. He was distracted for half a second before he coughed dryly and said, "It's nothing like that. We haven't even spoken much. I'm just giving her face."
Song Ji-hyo walked away with a look of disbelief.
Tang Jinyan sat in his chair in a daze. The scene of him stuffing her into his mouth replayed repeatedly in his mind … It was really touching … Every time he thought of it, he would stiffen slightly as a sign of respect.
Coincidentally, they hadn't contacted each other for a few days. But just as he was distracted and thinking of Li Fuzhen, Li Fuzhen called him.
Tang Jinyan looked at Li Fuzhen in surprise. Could this really be called fate?
"There's a new situation. It's about the modern world …" Li Fuzhen's voice sounded a little tired, but she still sounded very calm. "The union is preparing to organize a strike."
Tang Jinyan's mind raced. He immediately realized that this was targeted at Zheng Mengzhun.
The economy had been sluggish these years, and Hyundai wasn't doing much better. It was better in the first two years, but in the last two quarters of this year, profits had dropped. Car sales didn't meet expectations. At the same time, the workers were clamoring for a pay raise and were in the midst of salary negotiations.
Originally, this was a normal situation. No one's profits would rise every quarter, and salary negotiations would go on many times. If they really couldn't come to an agreement, who knew how long it would take to trigger a strike?
But if there were people who wanted to push it, this kind of thing might be pushed forward by a large margin, or even explode at any time.
As long as the workers in Hyundai went on strike, it would be good enough if Zheng Mengzhun didn't take the blame and resign from her position as a member of parliament. How could she fight for the position of mayor?
Tang Jinyan couldn't help but feel lucky that he had Li Fuzhen as a connection because he really didn't have anything to do with the union. In addition, he was doing it secretly to hide it from the Zheng family. By the time this kind of news reached his ears, it would be too late. Only a giant like Samsung could know about the union's news at any time and warn him in advance.
He thought silently for a while and said, "Let's talk about it when we meet. Maybe there are some things that we need Angry's help with."
Li Fuzhen fell silent. Obviously, she didn't know whether she should meet Tang Jinyan or not.
But this kind of secret meeting would take a long time. It was indeed better to talk face to face … After a long time, she sighed. "I'll go to your New Village Clubhouse. You can lock it up."
Once bitten, twice shy. Even someone as steady as Li Fuzhen didn't trust her clubhouse … But from another perspective, it could be seen that she was very guilty now. She didn't have the courage to "let others talk about it" at all.
When they met at the New Village Clubhouse, Tang Jinyan found that Li Fuzhen's state was not quite what he had imagined …
He originally thought that she was tired and depressed. After all, something that shouldn't have happened between them, and there were a lot of things happening recently.
However, after meeting him, he realized that he was indeed a little tired, but he was not depressed at all. Even his usual depression and hostility had disappeared. His eyebrows and eyes looked much more gentle and relaxed. It seemed that he had been in a rather relaxed mood recently.
Seeing Tang Jinyan staring at her, Li Fuzhen was expressionless. "Why are you looking at me?"
"I feel that … Angry's a little different."
"What's the difference?" Li Fuzhen suddenly became angry. "Are you also going to say that I'm refreshed by you?"
What and what?
"Also"?
Who had said that to her?
Ren You?
Tang Jinyan blinked, but he suddenly felt that this was indeed the case. It was definitely the case.
