"Brother, now that I have investment, my studio will be fine. Don't tell my mom."
"Okay, but you have to promise to tell me the first time you encounter any problems in the future." Zhang Nuannuan hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
"Okay, I'll go first then."
"I'm leaving now, brother. How about we have lunch together at noon?"
Wang Jingjing's eyes were filled with anticipation. Lin Ye smiled and shook his head to refuse: "No, I just took some time to come and see you. I have some work to do."
"Okay then, come to our studio more often next time."
Wang Jingjing looked disappointed, and Zhang Nuannuan beside her was speechless. Her cousin was a freelance writer with flexible working hours, and this was just an excuse to shirk responsibility. It was a pity that her best friend didn't see through it.
After entering the elevator, the smile on Lin Ye's face faded. According to Wang Jingjing, all of this was caused by an Internet media company called Mouyou Media.
"Mouyou Media, isn't this the company that sent me a private message wanting to sign me?"
Lin Ye thought of the private messages from many media companies on his short video account, including one from You Media, and the message revealed a sense of superiority.
"If this were a novel, the hero's relatives would be bullied, and then the hero would show off and get slapped in the face. Those experienced authors who have a good grasp of the timing could write ten chapters based on this."
Lin Ye couldn't help laughing. It was a pity that he was not the male protagonist of the novel, so it wouldn't be so troublesome to deal with a certain You Media.
Picking up the phone, Lin Ye sent a message directly to Zhong Shan.
[Lin Ye: Can you help me investigate a certain media company? ]
[Zhong Shan: ...Counselor Lin, is there anything I can help you with? ]
【Lin Ye: Well, Mouyou Media has offended my relatives. 】
Lin Ye was very straightforward and didn't need to beat around the bush.
[Zhong Shan: I understand. I will investigate. If I find that Youyou Media has violated any laws or regulations, I will take action.]
【Lin Ye: Thank you for your hard work.】
Lin Ye was not surprised at Zhong Shan's answer, because this was one of the rights of a consultant.
If the consultant himself or his relatives are bullied, the Abnormal Identification Institute will step in to help solve the problem. In a case like this, if a certain media is found to have problems, it will be close to bankruptcy.
As for whether Mouyou Media could find out the problems, Lin Ye was not worried at all. These days, there is no company that does not violate regulations. It’s just that they won’t check. Once they get serious, no company will be able to escape.
What's more, he also searched for some news about Mouyou Media on the Internet. Many people accused Mouyou Media of deceiving them into signing contracts, but none of the agreed conditions were fulfilled. They had several top internet celebrities on their hands, and not only did they cheat newcomers, but they also made the promotional advertisements received by the businesses fraudulent.
The chaos in the internet celebrity circle is second only to the entertainment circle, and once you investigate, you will definitely find something wrong.
[Zhong Shan: It’s not a problem. This is what our appraisal institute should do. By the way, Consultant Lin, if you have time, you can check the group. There is a consultant in Qu City who is looking for help.]
When Lin Ye saw Zhong Shan's message, he opened the group and saw hundreds of chat messages. After scrolling through them for a while, he found the message about the strange man in Qu City seeking help that Zhong Shan mentioned.
Qu City and Raocheng are located at the border of each other, but in different provinces. The strange man in Qu City is seeking help from one or two strange men in the group, and he wants strange men who have the ability to deal with monsters.
Listening to the strange man from Qu City explaining the whole story in the group, Lin Ye was also a little surprised. It's true that there are so many strange things in the world.
Half a month ago, a man reported that he was being harassed by a weasel. The case was naturally handed over to the Abnormal Identification Institute. After investigation, the Abnormal Identification Institute found out that the man was indeed being harassed by a weasel that had become a spirit.
The reason for getting entangled is very simple.
The man was drinking and going home late at night. In order to save time, he took a small road. As a result, he met a weasel. The weasel asked the man: "Do you think I look like a god or a fairy?"
The man got drunk and said, "You look like an idiot. Stop preaching superstition. I believe in science."
Just this one sentence caused trouble. The weasel became furious and insisted on torturing the man to death.
The man's words ruined the weasel's century-long practice.
The weasel is somewhat special from other animals. Although it also practices cultivation, other animals need to overcome tribulations, but the weasel can do it in another way, which is to ask for a title like humans.
If the answer is that it is like a god or an immortal, then your practice is complete. If the answer is that it is like a human, then it will remain the same. If you say that it is like a weasel or any other answer, then the hundred years of practice will be gone.
Therefore, this is also a kind of gamble.
Normally, there will be winners and losers in gambling, so the weasel would not hold on to the man. The problem was that the weasel had appeared in the man's dream a few days ago, asking him not to talk nonsense, and the man agreed.
Now that the man has broken his promise, the weasel is furious. Although he has lost a hundred years of Taoism, he still has some skills. The strange man in Qu City has met with the weasel several times, but the other party refused to negotiate and was very determined to kill the man.
In desperation, the strange man from Qu City could only ask for help from everyone in the group, thinking that with more people, the weasel would finally accept the peace talks and let the man go.
"This is quite interesting. Qu City is not far away. I'll go and take a look."
Lin Ye became interested and clicked on the name of the strange man in Qu City and added him as a friend. The other party accepted his request almost instantly.
[Samoyev Old Driver: What is the name of the new fellow in Raocheng? ]
【Lin Ye: Lin Ye. 】
[Old driver Samoyev: What a good name. Are you coming to Qu City to help fight the weasel monster? ]
[Lin Ye: Yeah, but I’m a little curious, can this weasel spirit send messages in dreams? ]
Lin Ye asked an interesting question. If the weasel spirit can send messages in dreams, then doesn’t it mean that all weasel spirits can cheat in this way?
[Old driver Samoyev: The one who came to the man in the dream was his grandfather. His grandfather was saved by the weasel in the past, and he owed the weasel this karma. He promised the weasel that when his cultivation was complete, he could ask for the title from his descendants.]
Lin Ye: ...
No wonder the weasel was so angry. He would be the same if he were in their shoes.
I saved your grandfather's life, otherwise you wouldn't have appeared. Now you are repaying your benefactor like this. Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?
Seeing that Lin Ye did not reply immediately, the stranger from Qu City sent another message.
[Old driver Samoyev: It is true that the man was at fault first, but we cannot stand by and watch him die. I have invited three fellow Taoists this time, and with fellow Taoist Lin, there are four of them . I think the weasel demon will also consider peace talks. I have prepared a small gift for each fellow Taoist who came. If fellow Taoist Lin really needs to help, I will reward him handsomely.]
After hearing this, Lin Ye roughly understood. Well, this was a call for people to go to the platform.
Just like in a fight, call the shots first.
There is one price for coming to the platform, and another price if a fight really breaks out.
