As a nouveau riche, Suming was fairly acquainted with the wealthy. Persistence was the most typical characteristic of such people, especially soone like Ren Chen, a self-made boss,
one could say he was indefatigable or shaless, but either way, he wouldn't easily stop in the face of difficulties. Doing business was no simple matter. Even with family backing, it wasn't all smooth sailing. If one shrunk away at the first sign of trouble, Ren Chen's company wouldn't have grown so large.
**//Cowards and successful people are fundantally differentiated by their attitudes towards difficulty. The forr evade it, bla others or curse their fate for not having a wealthy father, and then sulk about it, feeling the entire society owes them; the latter look for solutions or simply give up completely.
So after Nangong directly rejected Ren Chen, for safety's sake, Suming initiated 'biological surveillance' on Ren Chen.
Haidong Qing was like a central computer in the air, monitoring the overall situation, and a large number of wasps functioned as individual nodes, tracking Ren Chen. If anything suspicious occurred, Suming would be the first to know.
Knowing that Ren Chen and Yang ng of Yangchuan City TV Station had t, Suming felt sothing wasn't right. He hurried to the vicinity of the Foreign Business Club and used the Soul Attachnt Ability to let a small wasp follow them into the private room, eavesdropping on their conversation.
Of course, it wasn't just the conversation he overheard. The lewd acts they indulged in afterward, Suming also saw through the eyes of the wasp.
Wasps have compound eyes, and it was as if Suming was looking at many large screens arranged together, playing simultaneously, a rather thrilling experience...
Ren Chen pursuing Nangong was sothing Suming was certain to dislike, but could understand. A fair lady is a gentleman's delight, and a scoundrel's too. The standard Nangong Yan exhibited was there for all to see. It was entirely normal for Ren Chen to like her. Putting oneself in Ren Chen's shoes, having cold water thrown publicly in one's face and even the videos posted online, one would definitely feel upset.
But what did this have to do with Yang ng?! From beginning to end, Nangong Yan had never provoked Yang ng. Claims like 'you can only bla yourself for standing in my way' were just nonsense, even the head of the TV station stood in the way of Yang ng becoming the head.
One could only say that this woman was twisted inside.
Fortunately, knowing Yang ng and Ren Chen's subsequent plan ant they no longer posed a significant threat.
Surprisingly, their plan was to manipulate the situation using foxes, which exactly mirrored the 'exploiting feudal superstitions for profit' issue Suming had once considered.
Reforming the zoo with a new young director aiming for economic gain by exploiting feudal superstition... It sounded like a decent plot.
Suming had been on high alert for this from the start, acting very cautiously, but Yang ng still sought to attack him with it. It's the thought that counts, but Suming may have actually been at a disadvantage if he hadn't learned of their sche in advance.
If Old Song had still been in charge, given his experience and prestige, this trivial matter certainly wouldn't have touched him, but it was enough to trouble Suming, a green youngster. If things went poorly, even the position of deputy director could have been stripped away.
"How co their thoughts coincide with mine so exactly?" Suming couldn't help but laugh. Could it be that villains all think alike?
Even if they hadn't brought it up, he had been planning to regulate the Fox Immortal project himself. After the restructuring, it was probably better to distinguish between the zoo's and his personal assets. Now was the perfect opportunity to take care of it all at once.
...
"An undercover investigation?"
In the deputy director's office of Yangchuan City TV Station, Mr. Shi's eyes widened as he looked across the desk at Yang ng sitting opposite him.
Mr. Shi and Yang ng had shared an improper relationship. Despite Yang ng's attractive figure and vigor in bed, Shi had quickly distanced himself from her. He felt Yang ng was diocre in ability but had far too much ambition, and her demands beca more and more unreasonable. Being too close to such a woman wasn't good for him.
Take the hormone incident, for example. It was through Mr. Shi that Yang ng had the chance to do the live broadcast of the show, seeking the spotlight only to harm herself and almost drag Shi down with her.
However, people must pay for their actions. Even though Shi had distanced himself from Yang ng, he couldn't completely erase their past. Yang ng often ca to him, asking for various favors, so of which he could provide, so not, causing Shi occasional distress as if he were entangled by this woman.
He shouldn't have sought montary pleasure!
And now, shortly after returning to the TV station, Yang ng, without settling down for a few days, approached Shi requesting he assign her a few people to carry out an undercover investigation program.

"What's there to go undercover for? It's just an entertainnt project at the zoo. It's just a few foxes, after all. The zoo is supposed to train a few animals to attract attention and increase revenue, which is perfectly normal. Besides, they've made it clear that visitors should be civilized." Shi frowned, saying with a headache.
If it was a really valuable program that could bring in viewership, Shi would certainly not object.
But the undercover investigation proposed by Yang ng was to look into the Fox Ho project at the zoo, which seed like making a mountain out of a molehill. Shi was aware of this project—it was very popular, brought a lot of joy to the public, and for most people, it was seen as a fun and positive image. What would be the point of going undercover on such a program?
Moreover, there might be religious issues involved. One false move and they wouldn't just fail to produce a valuable news story, but the TV station could also step on a landmine, bringing about a whole load of trouble—an arduous task with no appreciation, like lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own feet.
With so many entertainnt projects in zoos and parks of all sizes, did they all have underlying issues that warranted undercover investigations?
When the zoo had launched projects like Fortune Cats and Fish Riding, they were very popular and the TV station had special reports on them, which also had good ratings. On this point, several directors at the TV station, including Shi, appreciated Nangong Yan. The news materials she obtained were both high in ratings and universally acclaid, spreading positive energy and bringing good economic and social benefits to the station.
"It's precisely because of the religious aspects that it's worth reporting! Every ti there is a topic about the abbot of Shaolin Temple, even if it's a minor piece of gossip, it can make the headlines and stir up a buzz."
"Is that even comparable!" Shi nearly wanted to slam his hands on the table. Those in the dia circles knew that about half of those news stories concerning Shaolin Temple were likely concocted by the subjects themselves to increase their fa.
Just look at the lifecycle of those news stories: they start with explosive content, followed by a series of even more shocking revelations, and once they've attracted enough attention, they usually end abruptly. It's a common strategy in self-promotion.
Besides, taking a perfectly popular entertainnt project and politicizing it was simply an absurd waste of ti and effort, a case of looking for trouble when there was none.
Even if they went to investigate, what evidence could they possibly find? Director Shi and his family had visited Fox Ho, now the Ancient Moon Xian Residence, which hosted so foreign foxes that were quite adorable. He hadn't seen any feudal superstitious activities there!
"Leader, I've observed the situation for a few days and am absolutely confident. There are definitely people engaging in this type of activity. Just give personnel and resources, and I can capture it!" Yang ng lowered her voice, "Once we have evidence, they won't be able to explain it away. The money from tickets and wish-making charms could be frad as profiting from feudal superstition..."
"Enough, enough..." Deputy Director Shi waved his hand impatiently and stared at Yang ng, asking word by word, "What's your big vendetta against the zoo? Are you intent on throwing mud on them?"
Yang ng didn't have a vendetta against the zoo; her grievance was with Nangong Yan, unilaterally, an unrequited love t with unrequited hatred.
Yang ng was even more encouraged, "Moreover, as far as I know, the Fox Ho project isn't entirely the zoo's own, but is contracted to Taoyuan Entertainnt Company, a purely profit-driven project! A private enterprise exploiting religious superstition for profit..."
After hearing Yang ng out, Deputy Director Shi stood up, paced back and forth in his office with his hands behind his back.
Yang ng's analysis wasn't unreasonable—if exploited properly by the dia, there could be an angle to this story.
Still, it was a story that couldn't be delved into too deeply, didn't hold much importance, and would offend people.
After thinking it over, he decided to let it go. Even if they obtained evidence and implicated the zoo, it would be a thankless task.
"Leader, if you agree to let investigate this ti and approve the manpower and equipnt for , I'm sure I can dig up so insider info, and then we're even," Yang ng offered her final bargaining chip.
For Yang ng, this was a great opportunity to return to the front line of programming! She provided the clues, planned the project, conducted the undercover investigation, and would be the only one to appear on TV as the host in the end.
The hotter the Fox Spirit project was now, the more attention the undercover report would receive when broadcasted. As the instigator, Yang ng would naturally regain importance within the TV station.
Her final bargaining chip convinced Shi. He didn't want to entangle with this madwoman anymore. After a mont's consideration, he said, "I can approve the personnel and equipnt, and the program can be yours to do. But rember, first, the impact should not be too wide-reaching, limited only to the zoo, absolutely must not extend to Deyuan Temple or other religious organizations, and certainly cannot involve Wang Jian She; second, you must adhere to impartiality during the program production, report the facts objectively, and not repeat the mistakes of the past!"
"Don't worry; there will be no issues this ti. Then I'll go prepare," Yang ng felt invigorated by the prospect of turning her fortunes around.
"Hold on." Shi called out to her, speaking sternly, "Yang ng, considering past events, I'm giving you this opportunity, but if you ss it up, there won't be a next ti."
"Shi, you underestimate ."
