The house of rebirth raises Tangmen

Shen Yan visited the Chu family many times when he was still in school, but since graduation, he and Chu Xuan have completely different career directions, and if the two of them had fewer chances to meet, he would never have the chance to come to the Chu family again. up.Counting it, seven or eight years have passed since graduating from university, but the layout of the Chu family has not changed much. The overall look still gives people a very peaceful feeling. The whole courtyard is simple and grand, but it seems a little deserted.

The Chu family is not a family with a large population. The generation of Chu Ran's father, Chu Yunyuan, started to do business. Moreover, Chu Yunyuan is the only son in the family and has no brothers. Mr. Chu is also a member of the army, and he still lives in the military area. In the compound.So since Chu Yunyuan died suddenly and Chu Ran moved out, only Chu Xuan and Chu Ran's mother were left in the Chu family, and Chu Xuan usually spent most of his time on company affairs, so he would not Staying at home often makes it even more unpopular at home.

When Chu Ran opened the car door and got down from the passenger seat, looking at the deserted home was both familiar and sad. When she was a child, her parents were often not at home, and she always looked forward to the day when the family got together.After my father passed away, my mother didn't go out very much, but too many things happened one after another at this time, so the expectation when I was a child has not been realized.

When Chu Xuan came down, he saw Chu Ran standing there staring at the door of the house in a daze, and also lowered his head and sighed.Their family has too many differences from ordinary families. Even though it looks peaceful on the surface, there are many hidden contradictions in it. Although these contradictions will not be as fierce as other big families, But in the end, it is impossible to be completely without barriers.Thinking of this, Chu Xuan could only reach out and pat Chu Ran's shoulder lightly: "Don't think too much, come back after a long time, be happy."

"It's just... I haven't seen anything at home for a long time, and I just miss it." Chu Ran blinked his eyes, as if he wanted to hide all the sourness that overflowed just now, and then he quickly adjusted his emotions and moved towards the future. Shen Yan who just arrived in the distance waved his hand.When Shen Yan also came over, the three of them were ushered in by the housekeeper and servant who had come out to greet them earlier.

Walking into the living room and seeing the still dignified figure of her mother sitting there alone at this moment, Chu Ran quickly walked forward and hugged her mother tightly.The mother was taken aback for a moment, then reached out and gently stroked Chu Ran's hair, smiling softly and kindly: "It's good to be back... such a grown-up person, how come he still looks like a child."

Chu Ran felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and finally returned to her normal posture and sat obediently beside her mother.Mother, Chu Xuan and Shen Yan greeted each other respectively, but Chu Ran always felt that their words were no longer what they used to be, no matter how they tried to conceal them, there was an indifference that was hard to get rid of.Chu Ran lowered her head in embarrassment and pinched her own fingers, but everyone else seemed to be used to this way of getting along, including Shen Yan who hadn't been here for a long time. That's right, he was originally because of Chu Xuan's The relationship is relatively familiar with the Chu family, and now with the change of Chu Xuan's attitude, it can't be more normal.

Several people sat down after exchanging a few words of pleasantries. On the surface, they seemed to start chatting quite harmoniously, but Chu Ran discovered that all their topics were focused on herself.Not only some things that happened recently, but even the things that happened when he was a child, were brought up again as a topic by these people who knew him very well. In the end, Chu Ran couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only hold his head and beg for mercy: "Mom, brother, can you stop revealing my old ways... And brother Shen, it's fine for you to know about those things alone. I beg you not to say it?"

So everyone laughed, and in the end it was Chu Xuan who suppressed his smile: "Okay, let's not talk about your things, there are still things to talk about today. Auntie, the three of us have some things to discuss at work, so let's talk about it first." Went to the study."

"Go ahead, I'll ask the housekeeper to call you when it's time for dinner." Mother nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She knew clearly that there was no room for her to intervene in some things that Chu Xuan had handled.According to what she did at the beginning, Chu Xuan is now willing to continue to maintain the status quo like this. It may not be possible to be as close as they are.

In this case... it is enough.

Seeing the backs of the three people walking out of the living room one after another, Chu Ran's mother sighed.

Chu Xuan took out the key to open the study room, and locked the door immediately after Chu Ran and Shen Yan entered.Then he walked to the bookshelf on the wall behind the study room where a large number of books were stored, and took out a hardcover notebook—this notebook is about as thick as two fingers, and the cover is still in the style of more than 20 years ago, which looks quite simple and rigorous .Probably because this notebook is often read or recorded by the owner, the corners of the notebook are very worn, and the corners have become relatively smooth. When you open the first page of the notebook, you can see the owner's signature, Chu Yunyuan .

This is a notebook left by my father. Judging from some of the remaining dates above, he should be only in his 30s when he wrote down the contents of this notebook.Chu Xuan did not show the contents of the notebook to Shen Yan and Chu Ran immediately, but sat down and explained to Chu Ran the memory that he had been sealed up by the psychiatrist ten years ago, and then explained to Shen Yan about After explaining the origin and function of that "scandal" photo clearly, he slowly revealed a plan that had been gradually planned and formed in more than ten days.

Chu Xuan's purpose at the beginning was very clear. While dealing with Bai Rong, he also wanted to take this opportunity to expand the Chu family's business into the entertainment industry. It just so happens that Bai Rong's subtle identity as the illegitimate son of the Tang family can also make this plan go smoothly. conduct.But this idea is not easy to put into practice. The overall strength of the Tang family may not be comparable to that of the Chu family, but in terms of the entertainment industry, the Chu family is no longer the opponent of the Tang family who dominates the entertainment industry. This is why the Chu family has never set foot in the entertainment industry. one of the biggest reasons.However, the most critical and difficult part of this plan, when Chu Xuan was looking for the Tang family's information, he accidentally found a solution from this notebook he found in the study.

What was recorded in my father's notebook was nothing else but a plan—an idea about acquiring some of the Tang family's properties and shares.I don't know why this plan has been basically completed, but until the end this plan has been idle for more than 20 years and has not come in handy. Chu Xuan didn't even hear his father mention it even once.According to this plan as a prototype, Chu Xuan basically has an idea in his mind, and it is like God's will. The information Chu Xuan currently has about the internal situation of the Tang family shows that now is definitely the best time to implement this plan. .

Tang Mingtian, the current chairman of Shengtang Entertainment Company, the family business of the Tang family, her legal spouse only gave birth to a son and a daughter for him. Although he has many lovers outside, except for Bai Rong, the others are all daughter.These children have basically reached adulthood now, and quite a few of them have been admitted back to the Tang family. After all, a big family like the Tang family needs to marry sometimes, and it is actually beneficial to them to have more daughters.

Of course, the biggest headache for the Tang family now is that Tang Mingtian's eldest son was born with an incurable disease, and his body has been relatively weak and difficult to inherit the family. On the contrary, the eldest daughter born of the same mother is very capable and has shown great achievements in company management. High talent.However, the Tang family is a traditional family. According to the old man of the Tang family, he would never hand over the family business to his daughter no matter what. So at this time, Bai Rong was pushed to his current position with a very subtle identity.

Tang Mingtian's health has not been very good in the past few years, and he has been hospitalized several times due to illness. This year, he has hardly managed the company's affairs, and he has never seen him attend various related occasions. The battle for the right of succession is already imminent.The situation of the Tang family is much more complicated than when Chu Xuan inherited it back then. There are not many relatives of the Chu family involved in the company's affairs, so most of the shares are concentrated in the hands of Chu Yunyuan alone. The handover of Chu Xuan was also very smooth, while the Tang family The kinship in this kind of family business is intricate, and Tang Mingtian is notoriously romantic, so the company's shares are not only scattered in the hands of relatives of the Tang family, but even in the hands of Tang Mingtian's adult illegitimate children. shares.

Such words are extremely beneficial to Chu Xuan's plan to acquire part of the shares and properties of the Tang family. The children of the Tang family should not be willing to give up their inheritance rights easily. They will either form cliques or Seek help from outside forces, any of which will lead to chaos for a long time.With such a good opportunity in front of him, and with a very detailed plan left by his father as a blueprint, how could Chu Xuan let go of this opportunity?What's more, whether Chu Ran is developing in the entertainment industry or signed a contract under the name of Shengtang Company, in this case, whether it is out of plan or out of the development of Chu Ran's future, Chu Xuan will choose to let Chu Ran become independent from Shengtang Company. come out.

Chu Xuan leaned against the desk, bent his knuckles and tapped the table every time: "Shen Yan, how long is Xiaoran's contract period?"

"At the beginning, I signed a three-year contract, and now it has been more than a year. It is not cost-effective to terminate the contract now. On the one hand, I have to pay a lot of liquidated damages. On the other hand, according to the content of the contract, "Heavenly Tribulation" All the film remuneration of this film is owned by the company, which means that Chu Ran has to work for the company for nothing. It is better to wait until the first and second parts of "Heavenly Tribulation" are all filmed and released, and the company will also vigorously promote Chu Ran during the period. At that time, the contract period should almost come to an end, and it would be more cost-effective to terminate the contract.”

"I understand, this matter will be postponed temporarily. But now I want to know what you are going to do, whether you want to join in? As far as I know, the old employees of Shengtang Company with sufficient qualifications should have some shares in the company. ?”

"You know all of this?" Shen Yan does have some shares in his hands, which were rewarded to him by Shengtang Company based on his performance. In fact, it is only 1%, but it is not easy to hold shares as an employee, "Then now Are you coercing and luring me to change jobs?"

"There is no coercion, only temptation. I have already shown you this plan. My short-term goal is to let Xiaoran become independent first, and set up his own studio. This studio can be named under the name of the Chu family. In the future, You won’t be unable to see the benefits, right? If the time is long enough and everything goes well, I’ve even thought about swallowing Shengtang Company bit by bit... But it’s still a bit far away now, anyway, this is the Chu family’s foray into the entertainment industry Isn't it a pity if you don't participate in the first step?" Chu Xuan analyzed a little bit, but admitted his intention openly, the smile on his mouth was always there, as if he had foreseen the future .

"Since you said so, then I'll go all out and give up my life to accompany the gentleman." When Shen Yan said this, there was a strange light in the eyes behind the lens, and the curvature of the corner of his mouth gradually coincided with that of Chu Xuan.
