Chapter 520: Chapter 520: Was Zheng Xun Replaced?!
Zheng Xun was dumbfounded.
What did it an that Jin Siyue had already given him all the shares?!
He knew how much the little ancestor valued this program; how could he possibly give away all his shares so casually?
Moreover, weren’t these two people supposed to have a good relationship privately? Why did it sound from Gu Yu’s tone today as though the two of them were barely acquainted?
One piece of news after another overwheld Zheng Xun, and as he was still brainstorming, Zhao Lang had already risen from the sofa.
Pei Ye, who was nearby, quietly moved to stand beside him.
Zhao Lang looked around the room, sighed, and then slowly began, “Before planning this variety show, I was busy and didn’t manage much. I didn’t expect Si Yue to have turned it into this, but now it’s fine—”
He turned to look at Zheng Xun and smiled, “I have completed my courses abroad and now have plenty of ti to handle this. Honestly, there are many aspects of this show that I don’t quite like, but there’s no helping it, it has been broadcast for a long ti and it’s not good to change.”
Zheng Xun had no idea what this guy was up to, and could only nod incessantly, “Yes, yes, the program has indeed been broadcast for a long ti, and many viewers like it; it is indeed not good to change.”
“But is there sothing now that can still be changed?”
“What thing?”
“You.”
Zheng Xun: ??
He was completely stunned and looked at Zhao Lang incredulously, “Young Master Gu, what do you an?”
Zhao Lang’s expression was indifferent, “It ans I don’t like your style of directing variety shows, and I want to replace you. Director Zheng, pack up and move aside.”
“No,” Zheng Xun was truly panicked now and took a step forward, “You… at least give a reason? Why are you replacing ? And isn’t replacing soone supposed to be decided in a eting? How can we explain this hastily to the audience?”
“A reason? Since you really want to hear it, I’ll be direct,” Zhao Lang’s eyes beca piercing, “Don’t think that the Gu Family doesn’t know about the things you and Jin Siyue have been conspiring. We thought earlier that you would stop after fooling around for a bit, but it seems that’s not the case. As for holding a eting… haha, I think what I’ve said is clear enough. Now that I have absolute control, just one word from and this show will be imdiately stopped, let alone replacing a minor director.”
Watching the other’s pupils deepen, Zheng Xun trembled uncontrollably.
This was completely different from what Jin Siyue had said!
Jin Siyue had clearly stated that Gu Yu was acquiescent, so why was he denying it now? He was even coming to finalize his guilt.
Could sothing have happened to the Jin Family?
The more Zheng Xun thought, the more frightened he beca, and he wanted to argue for himself, but it was clear that Zhao Lang no longer wanted to listen and simply snapped his fingers to have soone take him away.
“Send him off the island today, I don’t want to see him again.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
The crumbling and yelling Zheng Xun was dragged away, and the reception room fell into a deathly silence.
Zhao Lang also noticed this and turned around with a slight smile towards the others, “Don’t worry, everyone; I focus on the issue, not the person. Zheng Xun was replaced because he made mistakes. As for you, as long as you work diligently, I naturally won’t nitpick.”
The others finally breathed a sigh of relief, while the assistant director cautiously looked at this seemingly gentle but actually fearso Young Master.
“So, Young Master Gu, do you now intend to beco our director? After all, this job is quite important.”
Zhao Lang twirled the ring on his finger, “Directing isn’t my forte, but don’t worry, I’ve already found soone.”
Saying so, he looked towards He Pingzhang, who had been sitting by the window all this ti, watching the drama unfold while sipping tea, and smiled:
“Director He, what do you say?”
He Pingzhang: ?
The usually expressionless mask-like face of this fox showed a slight crack.
Then he struggled to pull out a smile.
“Young Master, didn’t you say you brought here just to bolster the scene? Why are you now making work for you?”
Zhao Lang also laughed, “Isn’t this because Assistant He is capable? Coming from a top business school in the world, directing a show like this should be a piece of cake for you.”
He Pingzhang’s grip on his cup tightened to the point of almost crushing it, “Young Master, you know I graduated from a business school, so how am I supposed to be a good director?”
Zhao Lang didn’t listen and continued to play on his emotions, “Directing a variety show is a minor matter. More importantly, I trust you, and that’s why I’ve left such a crucial position to you.”
He Pingzhang finally felt like he was being swindled.
Before boarding the plane, this kid acted all kind and benevolent, claiming that he lacked confidence coming alone and that it would be much better with him around.
He completely fooled him.
Now that he was here, was he showing his true colors?
Seeing him not responding, Zhao Lang imdiately gave an assistant director a aningful look.
The assistant director, quick on his feet, handed He Pingzhang Zheng Xun’s walkie-talkie.
“Director He, if there’s anything you’re unsure about, just ask . I might not be very capable, but I do have experience. Please don’t be polite with .”
He Pingzhang: “…..”
Alright, alright, alright.
Fine, fine, fine.
Playing that ga, huh?
He Pingzhang stood up, straightened his clothes.
“Difficult to decline such generosity. Since Young Master insists, He must respectfully comply.”
Zhao Lang was satisfied and walked away with his hands behind his back.
“Alright, Pei Ye, let’s set foot on the island.”
In the room, the smile on He Pingzhang’s face suddenly disappeared, then he turned to look at the assistant director.
“You just said that the director has all the decision-making authority, right?”
The assistant director trembled and replied with a “yes.”
He Pingzhang smiled, “Good, from now on, everything will be done the way I say.”

October 6, X year, 5:18 PM, Chang’an dia’s official Weibo posted this ssage—
[Chang’an diaV: After a board vote, it has been decided to retire Mr. Zheng. The subsequent episodes of ‘Wilderness Survival 30 Days’ will be directed by soone appointed by the board. We issue this notice to inform the public.]
Less than ten minutes after the post was published, it blew up the internet.
Not only were netizens shocked, dia professionals were also stunned.
How could King Zheng, who once stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid overnight, be suddenly dismissed?!
Isn’t ‘Wilderness Survival’ currently airing? Why change directors midway?
[?? What the heck, Zheng Xun was replaced?]
[??? Could he have offended soone?]
[I’ve always disliked him, Chang’an dia is wise.]
[Wait, what? This is so sudden. I was still watching the live stream when I suddenly got this notification.]
[??? Wasn’t it said that Zheng Xun had powerful backers? Could it be that his backer has fallen?]
[Even more explosive news, my cousin works at the airport. She said Zheng Xun had just disembarked when the police took him away!]
