"The report doesn’t have major issues, but it has flaws; you are new to the position and still need to refine," Yan Shixiu handed the report back.
"Okay, I’ll go back and prepare another version," the departnt manager answered in a lowered voice, "If Mr. Yan has nothing else, I will go back now."
"Close the door, I an..."
"I get it, I get it!" The departnt manager imdiately made an okay gesture, clarifying that Yan Shixiu ant to keep quiet, not to literally close a door.
Regrettably, such good news couldn’t be shared with others; didn’t that make one itch all over?
After the manager had left, Shi Lan moved in Mr. Yan’s embrace, her beautiful eyes opened then closed again; she was awake but lazy like a seal, "Uncle Yan, what do you think should happen to Zhou Yi, in the end?"
Yan Shixiu, without lowering his head, replied with just one sentence, "The taste of losing everything must be experienced."
Shi Lan did not press him too hard, giving him a chance to struggle, but if he didn’t manage to escape, she couldn’t be blad.
Zhou Yi had divorced early in life, his wife had taken their son and daughter abroad; for him, there were no ties left. Thus, his debts piled up as he lived carefree and unrestrained; what pain could such a person feel?
...
It was raining at noon in Yancheng.
Zhou Yi set up a banquet at an upscale Japanese restaurant, inviting the boss who had always wanted to go after Shi Lan.
The two were about the sa age, but each harbored their own sches.
Unlike the previous two tis, this ti Zhou Yi harbored resentnt against this shrewd woman.
"Ms. i, you see how badly I’ve fallen this ti, you can’t just ignore it; I’m at my wit’s end. Shouldn’t you step in to help out? After all, we’re in this together," he said. "If you ignore now, I may have no choice but to drag everyone down with ."
The other side took a puff of smoke, laughed between exhaling and inhaling, and said, "Of course, how could I possibly ignore you? Isn’t your international blockbuster still without a new scriptwriter? Who do you think stabilized the capital behind it?"
"But Ms. i, what good is stabilizing it? Do you think people will still watch my movies now?" Zhou Yi was not a fool, "All my years of hard work destroyed overnight, my lifelong efforts have co to such a disgraceful end, do you think just a movie will satisfy ?"
The person fell silent for a while, then asked, "So, what do you want?"
"I want An Lan dead! I want that bitch dead without a complete corpse, and besides, with such massive losses, I’ve already no place in the entertainnt industry, so you need to let have a stake in your empire. Since I can’t confront that bitch in the open, why should I even bother being decent?"
The other party said nothing, only smoked.
"Ms. i, if An Lan has cleaned up after , do you think she won’t find out about you? It’s just a matter of ti. Since you’ve gone to such lengths to stop her from implenting the real-na system online, shouldn’t we just eliminate her? What else could be cleaner than that?"
The other party looked down, then raised an eyebrow, "Do you have a plan?"
"Isn’t that bitch pregnant? She must have prenatal checkups, right? As long as I get her checkup schedule, I wouldn’t mind sending her to her demise on her way to a checkup. I have connections," Zhou Yi said.
"That’s simple." The woman finally stubbed out her cigarette, giving Zhou Yi an answer, "A phone call will do."
"I don’t believe that bitch can be that lucky."
"Also, I need another favor from you, Ms. i."
...
That evening, accompanied by his assistant, Zhou Yi held a press clarification eting at a hotel.
At the eting, Zhou Yi admitted the person in the video was indeed him and the words were his own, but other unfounded charges against him, he did not admit. He even demanded that those accusing him either report him to the police and provide evidence.
Shi Lan looked at Zhou Yi’s pretentious deanor, as if she had anticipated it. Zhou Yi had been in this circle for more than a day or two. He knew how to act and respond. In such a crisis situation, the best choice was to cut his losses and escape.
Because he was well aware that if there was evidence of the offense, he would have been arrested long ago. Would he still be able to sit here and hold a press conference to clarify things? If An Lan thought she could bring him down just because the tide had turned against him, then she was still too naive.
The press conference was held, and millions of movie fans were heartbroken and disappointed.
But what of it?
He had already made the money he wanted to make and taken what he wanted to take. Although his reputation was in ruins, there were still other ways out.
And the trolls arranged by the mysterious boss were imdiately in place, bursting forth to quell the fires for Zhou Yi everywhere.
Even though An Lan had the upper hand this ti, Zhou Yi believed that they had a long path ahead of them.
...
Zhou Yi was devastated, and it seed as if a shadow had been cast over the entire film industry.
After so many years of misdirected youth, the netizens also had their periods of exhaustion.
However, the production team of "Death" was not affected by Zhou Yi; instead, during this period, Peak officially announced the establishnt of Diamond Film.
The establishnt of Diamond Film symbolized the formation of a complete entertainnt ecosystem centered around Huahai at Shuangshi, solidifying Huahai’s leading position and establishing its absolute dominance in the entertainnt industry.
Previously, people in the circle speculated that the establishnt of Diamond Film was the starting point for a showdown between Peak and Huahai.
However, after its establishnt, they realized that Shi Lan never engaged in internal strife. The positioning of Huahai and Peak was inherently different. One had seniority, the other had vitality, and Diamond Film tightly linked them together.
Forr employees of Huahai had been worried that Peak might overshadow them, but with the establishnt of Diamond Film, their status seed to have risen a notch, and they fully settled down, genuinely admiring the miraculous chairwoman.
At that ti, Shi Lan was five months pregnant and soon to celebrate Yan Shixiu’s birthday.
At night, after drinking so milk, Shi Lan still wanted to look at so plans. Yan Shixiu took the docunts from her hands, saying, "We have a prenatal checkup early tomorrow morning. Let’s rest early tonight."
"It’s too early; I won’t be able to sleep," Shi Lan sighed. "Unless... let touch your abs."
"Just touching?" Yan Shixiu raised an eyebrow.
Shi Lan started laughing, "That definitely wouldn’t be enough."
"Behave tomorrow for the checkup."
His words implied a refusal.
"Let us both be satisfied. Wouldn’t that make him more cooperative during the checkup tomorrow?"
Yan Shixiu thought that it wasn’t the ti to try to outtalk the mistress, so he changed his approach.
"Tomorrow Huo Zhao will drive my car, and we’ll take Xun Yinghua’s car." Given the ongoing troubles with Zhou Yi, Yan Shixiu was being extra careful.
Upon hearing this, Shi Lan said, "Once, that little rascal told not to put Huo Zhao in too dangerous a place."
"I asked him, and he said that in extre cases, his survival rate could exceed eighty percent, while ours is zero."
This international bodyguard had evolved yet again.
