HuaYu: The most muscular director in history!

"Meeting adjourned!"

At the Sony BJ office, Chen Yaochuan frowned, stood up, and began to shoo people away.

Taking advantage of the situation, Xiang Nan pulled Feng Man inside and asked her in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Feng Man took out her phone and showed a letter: "Xing Nanfei received a lawyer's letter. To be precise, it was you who received a lawyer's letter."

Xiang Nan frowned, picked up his phone and looked at it carefully. Just then, Chen Yaochuan finished dismissing his people, and another group of new people walked in.

"Xiang Nan, come and sit down."

"Um?"

Chen Yaochuan waved to the seat to his left, and then told Feng Man to find a seat as well.

After everyone was seated, Chen Yaochuan moved the mouse to open a webpage.

Xiang Nan is the headline on Sina.com's front page.

#Breaking News! Is the Rising Talent Just a Pretty Face?#

#Shocking! A new god has arrived? No! A habitual plagiarist!#

#The truth about Xiang Nan: Behind the talented man lies a ruthless CX with no moral bottom line#

Chen Yaochuan clicked on a link directly with his mouse.

[2323]: No wonder he made such a hit! Turns out he copied other people's ideas!

[5424]: How can a new god appear so easily? It's more like creating a god, isn't it?

[4424]: It was rumored before that Xiang Nan assaulted someone and was also good at operations.

[1312]: Why don't you just die? You're trying to scam my brother Jeremy.

[3425]: Adding Japanese songs to an album, you really are a scoundrel!

[8787]: Hooray! Hooray! It's confirmed, this project is all show and no substance!

[3242]: His album mixes so many styles, it's not like he's copying me!

Chen Yaochuan's eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown, and he exhaled a long breath from his nostrils, his chest heaving violently.

He turned to look at Xiang Nan, and then his mouth dropped open.

No, little brother, how can you be so calm when people are slandering you like this?

After reading the message, the dozen or so people at the long table turned to look at Cui Zhendong, but Cui Zhendong was looking at Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan's eyebrows twitched, but his face remained calm, showing neither anger nor anxiety.

He turned to look at Feng Man, his voice calm and unhurried: "Manman, read it to them."

"oh!"

Feng Man was still a little nervous in front of her former employer, as she had never seen so many big shots before.

They've got the operations department, the marketing department, the legal department—they're all here!

"Ahem." She took out her phone and read the letter aloud: "Mr. Xiang Nan, this XX Law Firm has been legally retained by Mr. XX and has appointed Attorney Zhang Zhengyi to formally address your alleged serious infringement of the client's copyright in your musical works, as follows..."

The office was quiet. Chen Yaochuan's face grew redder and redder as he listened, until Feng Man finished reading the letter, at which point he slammed his hand on the desk.

"Nonsense! Do you think I wouldn't know if Xiao Nan borrowed from others? Our music department spent half a year composing the music..."

"Alright," Cui Zhendong interrupted him.

It just so happens that President Cui was here, otherwise Chen Yaochuan would have lost his temper.

"Xiang Nan, what's your opinion?"

All eyes turned to Xiang Nan, who stood with his fingers interlaced in front of him, his deep eyes revealing a sense of composure and calmness.

"I have nothing to say. Be firm and sue them."

"Hey, how can you do that!" Chen Yaochuan got excited again.

"This isn't how you do public relations. You should first respond by denying the fact, then verbally rebuke the other party to reassure the fans and the album, and then sue..."

"Report it back." Xiang Nan repeated those two words.

"Hey? You..."

"Alright." Cui Zhendong stopped Chen Yaochuan and looked at Xiang Nan again: "Tell me in detail. I know you're not a reckless person."

Cui Zhendong's eyes were deep and mysterious, as if he were hinting at something.

Xiang Nan pursed his lips, reached out and picked up a bottle of water from the middle of the conference table, then opened it.

Is this old man implying that I should stop pretending?

He took two gulps of the icy water before turning to face Chen Yaochuan: "Brother Chuan, what's your idea?"

Chen Yaochuan frowned. Didn't he just say that?

"Be specific."

Chen Yaochuan pursed his lips; the kid's tone sounded like he was being ordered around.

"In my opinion, the first step is to respond to the defamation and denial of the facts, and then..."

"You made a mistake from the very first step!" Xiang Nan said decisively.

Then he looked at Cui Zhendong, leaving Chen Yaochuan standing aside.

"First of all, the fact that they chose to accuse me of plagiarism at this time when my album is selling so well suggests they came prepared. Their preparation is definitely more thorough than ours. If we had just followed the established procedures, we would have been at a disadvantage and fallen into their rhythm."

(Hey, this is the common way most celebrities handle things, don't just dismiss it so easily!)

"Secondly, the song 'The Brightest Star in the Night Sky' is a folk song, and there are many folk songs with similar chord progressions. Arguing with them about these things will only make things more complicated."

(Are you really that cultured? You even brought up proverbs!)

Xiang Nan glanced at Chen Yaochuan, gave him a look, and continued, "Finally, they just want us to respond and make a big fuss about it. Even if they lose, my album sales will be suppressed."

(What kind of look is that? What do you mean? Hey! Don't ignore me!)

"So!" Xiang Nan's eyebrows twitched and his eyes narrowed as he stated his decision: "My decision is to sue directly and let the court handle things. I won't waste my breath on them online."

"..."

The office fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at each other before nodding in unison.

That makes sense.

"good."

"This method will work."

Cui Zhendong nodded slightly. He didn't look at Chen Yaochuan, but turned directly to one of the senior executives present.

"Lin An, you handle this matter. Make sure you communicate well with Xing Nanfei's side. Xiang Nan's studio is a studio, but this album is copyrighted by Sony. Anyone who tries to cause trouble, we'll destroy them!"

"clear!"

Cui Zhendong then turned to another person: "In terms of operations, contact the CEOs of Tianya Forum and Sina, and with money, suppress this hot topic."

"OK."

Finally, Cui Zhendong looked at Chen Yaochuan and said, "Take good care of Xiang Nan, don't let him run around, and also pay attention to his mental health."

Chen Yaochuan's lips pursed into an Ω shape. "So, I guess I'll just have to stay a nanny then!"

Cui Zhendong smiled, stood up, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Meeting adjourned!"

The meeting room began to disperse again, and five minutes later, it was the same three people plus Feng Man.

Feng Man closed the conference room door, but didn't dare to sit down, and just stood behind Xiang Nan.

"You..." Cui Zhendong hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

Xiang Nan shrugged: "I didn't offend Gao Xiaosong. I've never even seen him before."

"Hmm..." Chen Yaochuan pondered for a moment, then offered a possibility: "Could it be that his company is also releasing an album? So..."

"That's not right." Cui Zhendong shook his head, tapping his finger on the table repeatedly. "Regarding the album, even in the most competitive situations, people will follow the rules. They won't suddenly launch an attack, especially not with a lawyer's letter."

He looked at Xiang Nan, whose large hand was unconsciously squeezing the mineral water bottle, flattening and rounding the entire bottle.

Clearly, the boy wasn't as calm as he appeared.

"Xiang Nan, you're the main character in this incident, so we need to look at you. Think about who you've offended recently..."

"Who did I offend?" Xiang Nan muttered to himself.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and the next moment...

"boom--"

Water splashed everywhere, and he crushed the mineral water bottle with one hand!
