With direct evidence, the police had no choice but to release them. Tis have changed. In this information society, being too brazen could easily cause a stir online.
What would beco of the deputy director who was on good terms with Fu Biao, they didn’t know. They only knew that they, two lowly officers, would definitely be scapegoated as temporary workers.
"It’s all a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding," one officer said, as they enthusiastically escorted Sun Dasheng and Ding Muchen out. "Thank you for your cooperation."
Just then, a luxury business car pulled up to the entrance. Two foreigners got out. One of them was none other than the general manager of Nuokai Capital—Fu Youqian. Accompanying him was the company’s lawyer, who held a dostic license. They had rushed over as soon as they received the chairman’s call. This was the contingency plan Sun Dasheng had put in place. Shanghai City has always been particularly cautious when it cos to matters involving foreign interests.
"BOSS! We’re not too late, are we?" Fu Youqian hurried over.
The lawyer went to speak with the police, first introducing himself and then getting the details of the situation. After a friendly negotiation, the case was imdiately withdrawn.
"BOSS! Everything has been handled. There won’t be any further trouble," the lawyer reported.
"Thank you both for rushing over." Sun Dasheng tossed the lawyer his car keys, telling him to drive it back. He then got into the business car, with Ding Muchen following him. He had invited her to visit the company.
As the car drove away, the two officers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"So he’s the big boss of a foreign-invested company. Good thing we let him go."
"Yeah, look at the business card. It says Nuokai Capital. A distant relative of mine who works for the district said that the district places great importance on this investnt firm. It’s officially on their radar."
It was a good thing they had released him without notifying the deputy director. If they had been a step slower, there was no telling how much trouble would have followed. The district leaders themselves might have co down to hold them accountable. The two officers exchanged a knowing glance and smiled. They imdiately called their director, who was out on business, to report the incident.
Over the phone, the director harshly criticized the deputy director’s actions and praised the two of them for their good work, promising them a formal comndation.
As for Fu Biao and Chen Siyuan, they were reprimanded, warned not to cause any more trouble, and then released.
"Uncle, didn’t you say you found a connection who would definitely throw that guy in jail? How co that bastard and his girl got off scot-free, while we’re the ones who got chewed out?" Chen Siyuan’s face was grim.
"How the hell would I know?" The flesh on Fu Biao’s cheeks quivered with anger. When he had called his old acquaintance, the deputy director, the man had inexplicably cursed, "You’ve ruined !" before hanging up. After that, his calls wouldn’t go through. He had probably been blocked.
Although he didn’t know what had happened, as an old hand in the system, he could sll danger. He suspected the sudden turn of events was related to the man who had hit his nephew. He warned him, "Stay away from that Ding Muchen from now on, especially the man who was with her today."
"Why?" Chen Siyuan asked defiantly.
"There is no ’why.’ If you provoke them again and sothing happens, don’t bla your uncle for being heartless."
Chen Siyuan was stunned. It was the first ti his uncle, who had always been so affectionate, had ever spoken to him like that.
「New Li dia」
The short-form drama team was managed by the "Sleeping Dragon," Sun Dacheng. Following Sun Dasheng’s orders, Nuokai Capital invested another ten million into the dia company, primarily for shooting these dramas. With both female supporting roles now under Sun Dacheng’s command, it was a clear sign of Sun Dasheng’s "high regard" for him.
Upon receiving the task, he imdiately got busy. First, he created a group chat and added all the old buddies he knew from his days as an extra in Hengdian. He told them he had a ton of projects and would call them when it was ti to shoot. Next, he gathered the newly arrived students and gave them a passionate, motivational speech.
Just then, Sun Dasheng arrived with the beautiful Ding Muchen. As they reached the conference room door, an impassioned voice bood from within, "If you understand, give a round of applause!"
Then, rhythmic clapping erupted.
CLAP!
CLAP! CLAP!
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
Ding Muchen looked bewildered. Is this a legitimate dia company? It feels more like a pyramid sche den.
Sun Dasheng’s face flushed. He coughed and walked inside. The room fell silent the mont they saw the big boss.
He criticized, "Da Cheng, the content of your speech isn’t bad. Just be careful with your delivery. Don’t let people misunderstand and think we’re an unprofessional company."
Sun Dacheng, who had scrambled over, scratched the back of his head in embarrassnt. "Director Sun, it’s an old habit of mine. When I get excited, my mouth runs away from . All the old sales pitches I learned just co rolling out."
"Next ti. I’ll definitely pay attention next ti."
"Make sure it doesn’t happen again." As he was a trusted subordinate, the punishnt was, of course, just a joke. "Continue with your training. I’m just showing Teacher Ding around."
He patted Sun Dacheng on the shoulder, then he and Ding Muchen waved a greeting to the students before leaving.
「The Chairman’s Office」
Sun Dasheng personally poured Ding Muchen a cup of tea. "So, how is it? Feeling more at ease now? We’re a legitimate company, and our investnt in these short dramas is real."
"As for your students, I’ll personally instruct my staff to take good care of them."
"Thank you very much, Director Sun," Ding Muchen said politely.
"Why ’Director Sun’? That’s too formal, especially after you helped with that video," Sun Dasheng said with a smile. "I’m older than you, so just call Brother Sun."
"Then... I’ll call you Brother... Sun?"
"That’s right."
"In that case, you don’t have to keep calling Teacher Ding. Just call Muchen," she replied, proving not to be a coy person.
"Alright! From now on, it’s Muchen."
They chatted for a while before Ding Muchen took her leave. She still had many things to handle back at the school.
Li Sili, having spent the entire day fishing, returned to the company. The first thing she said when she saw him was, "Uncle, fishing is like being in jail! You just sit there for hours without moving. I’m exhausted!" She sat down beside him and began to pout. The young girl was naturally active, so sitting still for hours on end was indeed a bit much for her.
"So, how was the catch?" Sun Dasheng asked.
At the ntion of this, Li Sili’s little face fell. "Those fish were so naughty! I used the exact sa bait as the man next to , so why did they refuse to bite mine?"
Sun Dasheng nearly choked on his tea at that comnt. "It’s their fault for being naughty, not yours."
"Hmph! They all went for the old man’s bait. He kept catching one fish after another; he got so many! I only caught one tiny fish, and I even released it." Li Sili grew more indignant just thinking about it.
