92: Mother-in-law
It was Han Wen's first time meeting his future mother-in-law after his rebirth, and you know what? He was actually quite nervous. He even had insomnia that night, which was ridiculous.
Unfortunately, although he and Zhou Ning had gotten married and he was on friendly terms with Zhou Yu, he had never actually met their mother, Xia Shuyun.
That's right, Zhou Ning and Zhou Yu's mother is named Xia Shuyun. Listen to that, is that an ordinary person's name?
Fortunately, Han Wen is a grown-up old monster. Otherwise, he would probably have backed down just by hearing his name.
There was no way around it; he was too deeply influenced by Zhou Ning and Zhou Yu. He felt that Xia Shuyun was the kind of arrogant, conceited woman who looked down on everyone.
As for himself, a nobody from the southwestern province, he was definitely not good enough for the other party. Otherwise, Zhou Ning would have introduced himself to his mother.
If it weren't for work requirements, Han Wen really wouldn't want to deal with Xia Shuyun. However, now that things were settled, there was no room for him to back down or change his mind.
There was no other way, so he got up early, ate something simple, and then drove his little yellow bug to Jubao Pen Records.
Zhang Yadong had been very busy at the company lately, so he arrived early. He was quite surprised when he saw Han Wen.
"Chairman Han, you're here so early today?" he asked with concern. "Have you had breakfast yet?"
"I ate something simple at home," Hanwen replied. "What about you?"
"There's too much work at the company, I can't eat," Zhang Yadong sighed. "I'm afraid I won't have an appetite until I finish today's tasks."
"Don't worry too much. The lawyer I invited today is a professor who teaches law at a university and a leading figure in the domestic legal field."
When the time comes, you just need to tell her our needs, and we won't have to worry about anything else.
As for legal fees, agree to whatever they ask for. The more they ask for, the better; less won't create a stir.
These days, very few companies know about going to court; we've set a precedent in China by doing so.
"We can then contact TV stations and newspapers to report on this matter, which will increase the company's reputation and strength." Han Wen comforted him, "Also, Yang Tianmei's current residence information has already been exposed."
Reporters and fans are staking out and watching every day, which is very troublesome.
For her safety and privacy, I have already rented a new house for her.
Tonight, I'll bring people over, subdue all those reporters and fans, and then take her away.
Remember to discuss this with her assistant beforehand, so I don't scare her if I suddenly show up with people.
"Chairman Han, you really do have a soft spot for women." Han Wen was so direct, so Zhang Yadong rarely joked, "Mao Ning didn't get this treatment. Aren't you worried he'll hold a grudge?"
"I'm not gay, why should I care? As the ancients said, 'A fair maiden is sought after by a gentleman; everyone has a love for beauty.'" Han Wen said nonchalantly with a smile, "What, do you think I'm not good enough for her?"
"Chairman Han, please don't misunderstand, I absolutely didn't mean that. You two are a perfect match, a match made in heaven." Zhang Yadong quickly shook his head: "To be honest, Mr. Han, our hobbies are quite similar."
"Ideals need strength to support them, and hobbies need financial backing." Han Wen encouraged the other party, "Work hard, Director Zhang."
Later, when you achieve your dreams and possess immense wealth, you'll have everything you desire.
"Then let's take Mr. Han's auspicious words as a sign." Zhang Yadong was very excited.
The two chatted idly in the office for a long time before Xia Shuyun finally arrived with her prized student.
This time, Han Wen and Zhang Yadong needed their help, so they were naturally very hospitable and went straight downstairs to greet them.
Xia Shuyun was fairly satisfied with Han Wen and Zhang Yadong's attitude, and her impression of them was unexpectedly better.
Actually, she was really too lazy to worry about such a small record company.
However, in order to give her students more practical experience, she reluctantly accepted the job.
As for the "Queen of Sweet Songs" and "Prince of Love Songs" you mentioned, I'm sorry, she hasn't heard of their songs.
She listens to classical music from abroad, which is noble and elegant, and most people cannot appreciate it, nor are they qualified to appreciate it.
Today, Zhang Yadong is the person in charge of the company, and Han Wen is just a junior assistant.
Wearing a mask, he followed Zhang Yadong without saying a word, simply observing his mother-in-law intently.
How to put it? Xia Shuyun and Zhou Ning are almost identical, very similar to Ma Yili, the short-haired beauty star from Songhu City in Han Wen's past life memories—dignified, elegant, and graceful.
However, Ma Yili was born in 76, younger than Han Wen. If I remember correctly, she won't be able to get into the Songhu Drama Academy for another year. Therefore, it's still a long way from her official fame.
Although Han Wen had spent some time in Shanghai and visited Hong Kong, it was impossible for him to have met Ma Yili.
Of course, Xia Shuyun possesses a more mature woman's sexiness and charm than Zhou Ning and Ma Yili, making her extremely attractive.
Compared to Han Qingyan, he possessed an added air of intellectual aloofness and pride.
Han Wen had seen countless people, but he still found it difficult to comment on his mother-in-law.
Because he was too aloof, he inevitably felt some pressure.
Fortunately, Zhang Yadong was in charge of negotiating business today, so Dongzi will have to shoulder more pressure.
With the big boss right beside him, Zhang Yadong felt very confident and actually performed exceptionally well.
Xia Shuyun hadn't expected Zhang Yadong, such a young man, to be so capable, and she had a good impression of him. Therefore, the negotiation went smoothly and the result was good.
After the two parties signed the agency agreement, Xia Shuyun suddenly glanced at Han Wen and said, "Young man, your name is Han Wen."
"Yes, Professor Xia," Han Wen nodded respectfully.
"Why do you always wear a mask?" Xia Shuyun continued to ask.
"I'm used to it," Han Wen replied.
"This is a bad habit," Xia Shuyun shook her head. "It gives people the feeling that you've done something wrong and are ashamed to face others. If you think what I said makes sense, try taking off your mask next time."
"Understood, Professor Xia." Han Wen nodded.
Xia Shuyun glanced at Han Wen again before turning around and leaving with her prized disciples.
"Chairman Han, did you know Professor Xia before?" Zhang Yadong asked curiously.
"How could that be?" Han Wen shook his head. "Why do you ask that?"
"I feel that Professor Xia seems particularly attentive and interested in you," Zhang Yadong replied. "Could it be that I'm mistaken?"
"I'm sorry, you're really mistaken." Han Wen shook his head. "From now on, I'll leave the company's affairs to you."
"No problem, Chairman Han." Zhang Yadong nodded and said with a smile, "Chairman Han, I've already informed Yang Tianmei's assistant. From now on, she'll be in your care."
"Director Zhang, I'm appreciating you more and more." Han Wen laughed heartily, "Okay, I understand."
