Two flowers, one on each table.

Turning the timeline back to half past one on Saturday afternoon, Shao Qing was watching the "bed scenes" between Suo Leixing and Li Na with a smile on her aunt's face.

She suddenly received a call from Qi Lianzheng, the COO (chief operating officer) of Dingxin.

Qi Lianzheng's voice on the phone was not as elegant as usual, and he spoke at an abnormal speed, as if he forcibly suppressed a wave of resentment: "Shao Qing, something big happened in the company, if it is convenient for you, rush back to the company as soon as possible for a meeting." ”

Shao Qing didn't ask much, and told Zhou Peipei on the side that she had to go back to the meeting if she had something urgent, so she hurriedly drove back to Dingxin.

When she arrived at the conference room on the top floor, she found that it was full of smoke, and the other four top partners were all there, all with them.

"Smack!"

Shao Qing adjusted the ventilation power output to Max and lit a cigarette for himself.

After meeting Shao Qing, Qi Lianzheng told her about the emergency...

Shao Qing's face suddenly froze after hearing this, she sat down with her skirt brushed up, and began to figure out how to deal with it together.

The origin of the matter comes from a merger and acquisition case completed by Dingxin at the end of 2017.

At that time, Shao Qing was only a senior partner with excellent performance in Dingxin, and her mentor Meng Xinyuan was the senior president and CEO of Dingxin at that time, one of the five top partners.

Shao Qing knew that Meng Xinyuan personally handled a number of mergers and acquisitions, and it was through this successful merger and acquisition business that Dingxin developed into the largest art brokerage management company in China.

But she also didn't know much about some of Meng Xinyuan's specific modus operandi at that time.

Shao Qing just silently had a crush on this mentor who took him on this career path - a full sixteen years before and after his death.

Meng Xinyuan's image is perfect in the eyes of everyone, and he is recognized as the top agent in China in the circle at that time.

As the co-founder and CEO of Dingxin for more than ten years, he has been surprised by Xinyuan in the business world, humorous in life, elegant and easy-going, happy family and happy marriage.

Meng Xinyuan usually has a wide range of hobbies, and is proficient in antiques, dance and ink, classical, and popular musical instruments.

At the age of 20, Shao Qing, who had not yet graduated, went to Meng Xinyuan's door under the matchmaking of the elders in the family, followed him to study, and after graduation, she joined Dingxin.

Shao Qing's superb interpersonal skills almost all come from his words and deeds.

The merger and acquisition case completed at the end of 17 years can be regarded as a well-known gold medal performance in the new era of Meng Xinyuan's administration.

At that time, Dingxin spent 790 million yuan to acquire the Yunhai Mengyao Film and Television Culture Development Co., Ltd., which was wholly owned by Lu Zhifei, a well-known agent and film investor.

Meng Xinyuan spun off all the artist agents under Yunhai Mengyao and merged them into Dingxin, and then sold the film production business and copyright library to Zhai Ruwen, the second boss of Pantai Entertainment, for a price of 420 million.

But today, the completion of this merger and acquisition split can be completed in a year and a half.

The artists bought by Dingxin with a huge amount of money announced that they would not renew their contracts collectively at noon today through the company's former partner Ma Weibin.

This group of more than 40 actors and singers have signed brokerage contracts to a newly established brokerage management company, the background of this company called Mantianxing is still unknown for the time being, but Qi Lianzheng and Shao Qing quickly locked the shadow that there may be Zhai Ruwen and the Pan-Thai system behind them.

At the same time that Qi Lianzheng notified the executives of the meeting, they also reviewed the documents of the merger and acquisition case at that time in detail.

Meng Xinyuan's M&A application submitted to Dingxin's board of directors is clearly written in black and white, and these actors and artists will have the right of priority to renew their contracts when their brokerage contracts expire in the future.

As a result, in the process of negotiation between them and Mantianxing, the other party took out the memorandum signed by the artists separately, which only said that they would give priority to renewing the contract with Dingxin Meng Xinyuan or Ma Weibin.

At the beginning of the spring of 18 years, Meng Xinyuan suddenly fell seriously ill and soon died. After he was diagnosed, he chose to resell all his shares of Dingxin to Shao Qing.

As soon as Meng Xinyuan's funeral was completed, his wife and children immigrated to Canada.

When the labor contract was about to expire last month, Ma Weibin informed the company's senior management and the human resources center that he had made a decision not to renew the contract, and he also signed the three-year non-compete agreement very happily.

Dingxin's senior management also privately discussed the reason for Ma Weibin's resignation, thinking that he may have made a choice based on the current awkward relationship with Shao Qing, after all, the two have changed from a simple brother-sister relationship to a relationship between executives and middle-level superiors and subordinates, and Ma Weibin, who has a strong personality, may have always minded this in his heart.

It is precisely out of consideration that Dingxin's management generously sent blessings and a less stringent non-compete agreement to Ma Weibin's resignation choice.

It's just that they never expected that after a year and a half, Ma Weibin came to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, and after leaving the company, he directly sold the priority renewal right to the newly established Mantianxing company, and chose to run away with the money.

This means that Dingxin spent 370 million yuan, and only got about a year and a half of management income from the brokerage of these artists, which can be described as a huge loss.

In addition to direct economic losses, the loss of a large number of highly qualified and high-ranking artist resources has also seriously damaged Dingxin's influence as an industry leader.

After Shao Qing was added to the meeting, the first resolution of the five-person high-level meeting was to send a letter to Mantianxing.

The official letter reiterates that Ming Dingxin does not recognize the legitimacy of the right of priority renewal of the brokerage contracts transferred by Ma Weibin, the former partner of the company. If the stars insist on going their own way, Dingxin will resort to all means to defend its rights.

After this letter was issued, it didn't take long for Zhai Ruwen to contact Qi Lianzheng, COO of Dingxin, directly by phone, and he found out a shocking secret in the merger and acquisition case at that time:

Even if you count the priority renewal right of the brokerage contracts of more than 40 actors and singers, plus the copyright, production and distribution business that Zhai Ruwen bought for 420 million, the plate of "Yunhai Mengyao" is not worth 790 million.

Behind the scenes, Meng Xinyuan sold several antiques in his hands that were said to be the only ones in the Southern Song Dynasty official kiln and the authentic works of the Tang Dynasty grass saint Zhang Xu to Lu Zhifei for 280 million yuan by organizing an antique trade fair in the circle, and Lu Zhifei also bought a few pieces of Yuan blue and white unique products from Zhai Ruwen with the same generous amount.

Zhai Ruwen also sent a recording file of a secret conversation between Meng Xinyuan, Lu Zhifei and the three of them at that time, as well as several antique appraisal reports, and after the recording was released, a stone hammer was sent to the five people in the Dingxin conference room who were still suspicious:

Lu Zhifei, the former boss of "Yunhai Mengyao", bought four fakes at a high price from Meng Xinyuan with Dingxin's money, and legally transferred the money to Meng Xinyuan, who had major business decision-making power in Dingxin at that time.

Now the return of those artists to Mantianxing was also part of the transaction between Meng Xinyuan, Zhai Ruwen, and Lu Zhifei at that time, and Mantianxing belonged to Zhai Ruwen and Lu Zhifei.

Now that the East Window incident has occurred, the responsible person has passed away suddenly, the main beneficiaries of the estate have run away, and Dingxin is facing the double dilemma of business scandal and loss of major assets.

The loss of artist resources, as well as a large amount of direct economic losses, can not be recovered, Zhai Ruwen holds this scandal in his hand, like a time bomb, hanging over everyone's heads at all times.

The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn, and Shao Qing was very embarrassed to be in it: in the eyes of everyone, Ma Weibin was his senior brother. Both of them were brought into the industry by Meng Xinyuan.

Meng Xinyuan is her mentor and professional leader, and even most of the Dingxin shares in her hands were transferred to her at a preferential price before Meng Xinyuan's limit was set.

Shao Qing didn't have time to think about why her mentor, who she had hidden in her heart for 16 years, would do such a thing that damaged the interests of the company and her own image, she could only forcibly endure the pain in her heart and calmly think about how to solve these problems one by one.

Soon, Shao Qing's voice broke the dark clouds and silence in the conference room, and her voice was not much different from the usual calm and decisive Shao Qing:

"In the recording, Zhai Ruwen was also involved in this transfer of interests, so it is very unlikely that he will poke outside to spread the news, he just conveyed to us an attitude and asked Dingxin to give up the matter of pursuing the brokerage contract of those artists."

Shao Qing lit another cigarette, and her speech speed was flat and steady in the smoke:

"This group of artists has actually been going downhill, and most of them can only eat the dividends of their feelings, and in the long run, it may not be a bad thing for us to promote the star-making plan."

"If there is really a strong man's determination to break his wrist and let go of this group of people, Zhai Ruwen will sign an understanding memorandum agreement and send them away, but this loss is really a bit big, Ah Qing, I really can't think of your teacher, why he..."

Qi Lianzheng's hand trembled slightly and he took off his glasses, and he sighed and sighed: "Alas, more than 20 years of brotherly relationship, can't you tell us any difficulties directly?" ”

"I was transferred to the teacher's shares, which can be regarded as the cause of Senior Brother Wei's doing, and I will bear the company's losses!"

Shao Qing was relieved a lot after making up her mind, she looked at the eyes cast by the four partners and said:

"If the company's direct economic loss is 300 million, the 23% of the company's shares in my hand are not enough, and I still have a house in Xiangshan Art Villa, which should add up to more than enough."

"A-Qing..."

"Shao Qing, you..."

Shao Qing raised his hands flat, and motioned to Qi Lianzheng and Ge Jun to wait for them to finish speaking: "At this time, there should be a strong man's determination to break his wrist as Mr. Ge said, and quickly cut off some risky relationships. ”

She smiled freely, and hugged her fists to the four partners very chivalrous and said: "Zi said: There is something, the disciple obeys his work, Shao Qing has been taken care of by your uncles for many years, and they have always gotten along very happily, but in business, the teacher is not in this pot and I should bear it, so I hope you don't need to be emotional, and seriously consider my proposal." ”

Shao Qing ignored the retention and other suggestions of several top partners, and under her strong and resolute pushing, Dingxin reacted quickly and reached an agreement with Zhai Ruwen's side.

The four partners, Qi Lianzheng and Ge Jun, insisted on paying 20 million each, and made up for the equity transfer money she paid to Meng Xinyuan to Shao Qing at that time.

Before signing the equity transfer agreement, Shao Qing only made one request for herself, she wanted to take Weng Huaijing's brokerage contract from Dingxin.

Qi Lianzheng was not surprised by this request, it was Shao Qing's insistence that Dingxin signed Weng Huaijing, and they readily agreed.

That's why there was a scene in the corridor of the "office building" where Weng Huaijing received a call from Shao Qing and asked for her consent.

After completing all kinds of handover procedures vigorously, Shao Qing packed up her personal belongings without hesitation, and only stopped for a moment in front of her navigator in the underground parking lot.

She shook her head and tore off her long hair, which she had been accustomed to coiling for many years, and covered it with a waterfall-like green silk, silently lit a cigarette, lowered her head and finished it, skillfully stepping on the cigarette butt with the tip of her high heels.

After opening and closing the door, ignition, pulling down the handbrake, and blowing up the accelerator, she drove away from the company where she had worked for 14 years.

When she left, she said this in her heart:

"When I Shao Qing was young, I fell in love with Li Yi'an's compilation of "Shuyu Ci", and I once loved to write such hypocritical words as 'Love is the joy at first sight, love is not tired of being for a long time'.

It wasn't until later that I realized that my care and companionship had become an interruption, and loneliness became the only means of self-redemption.

Today it is all over, and it can be regarded as the redemption I have done for you to save your reputation after death.

Teacher, this is the end of this love that has lasted for sixteen years."
