Chapter 85: Breakthrough Begins
Standalone office building!
Zhuang Xincheng got out of the luxury car and walked towards the office. Along the way, the beautiful female internet celebrities under the company greeted him sweetly.
Even in winter, these female internet celebrities are wearing less and less. You might think it’s spring...
He knows too well what these female internet celebrities are thinking.
Don't be fooled by the fact that these women look like goddesses in the videos. That's just the result of photography and post-production beautification. Each video has millions of views and tens of thousands of likes and comments, all of which are done by people arranged by the company.
How could there be any fool willing to swipe money if it wasn't for brushing? How could there be any merchant foolish enough to be deceived and pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for the booth fee to sell goods?
Once they leave the company, these women will instantly be reduced to their original form.
As the boss , I naturally have the power to promote whomever I want.
It used to be said that the bosses of film and television entertainment companies live a very comfortable life, but how can these people be as comfortable as themselves? Those female stars will still flaunt their status when they become famous, but these female internet celebrities dare not resist themselves even if they become famous. They can obviously use their looks to gain popularity, but these people are nothing after leaving the accounts that the company has created for them.
The most important thing is that the entertainment industry is prone to failure. Once these female internet celebrities leave their accounts, who will remember them?
"Boss, the platform just sent a message saying that many small internet celebrities have complained to our company, saying that we did not fulfill the contract terms we promised them."
"If you want to complain, then complain. What are you afraid of? I'll make an appointment with Mr. Ruan from the platform tonight. You can arrange for a few female employees to accompany you tonight."
Zhuang Xincheng didn't take these complaints seriously at all. What matter if these newcomers complained? The person in charge of the platform had accepted bribes from him and would not deal with them at all.
"How's Jiajia doing?"
"I'm working on your thoughts. It will take three days at most. I promise I won't ruin your good deeds, boss."
The female secretary licked her red lips and smiled charmingly. Zhuang Xincheng hugged her and said, "Don't be jealous. They are just jobs for us to make money. This time it is Master Qin who likes Jia Jia. With Master Qin and other young masters backing us up, our company can make money in the long run."
Zhuang Xincheng pushed the female secretary down. What he was most proud of was not how much money he made from opening this media company, but that he had made connections with some rich young men and bosses through these female internet celebrities.
He introduced the company's female internet celebrities to these people. These people had a lot of resources and could make money by helping him do anything. This was the bulk of his money.
Just as Zhuang Xincheng was enjoying an early morning hair washing service, there was a knock on the office door. Before he could answer, the door was pushed open.
"Boss, something bad has happened."
The assistant suddenly rushed in, scaring Zhuang Xincheng, but fortunately there was a desk blocking his way.
"Zhang Ming, who let you in without my consent?"
"Boss, someone is here. People from the tax department are here, as well as the Cultural Law Enforcement Brigade. Many employees have been ordered to leave their posts, and all their computers are still on."
Hearing what the assistant said, Zhuang Xincheng's heart skipped a beat. Some information on employees' computers cannot be disclosed, especially those employees who are responsible for acting as agents to give gifts to the anchors, and those who pretend to be anchors to chat with the big brothers who give money.
"Why are these people here?"
Zhuang Xincheng didn't care about anything anymore. He pulled up his trousers and hurried towards the door. When he saw the team leaders, he was even more confused.
He had dealt with the leaders of these departments before, but the people who came this time looked very unfamiliar to him and he had never seen any of them before.
"Zhuang Xincheng, right? The legal representative and general manager of a certain media company?"
"Yes...it's me, boss. Is there any misunderstanding? Our company is a formal one and we never do anything that violates the rules."
"We received a report and are here to investigate as per the rules. We are taking all these computers back for data analysis. You will also have to come with us."
"I want to go too?"
Zhuang Xincheng had some cold sweat on his forehead. This procedure was not right. Normally, it would just be an investigation, but now they were taking him away, which meant something big had happened.
"Okay, I should cooperate with the investigation. So, I will arrange the company's affairs first."
"No need. Everyone in your company needs to go for questioning together."
Zhuang Xincheng was really dumbfounded this time. He just took people away, and took the entire company away. This would only be done if the superiors had solid evidence.
"Um, can I make a phone call?"
At this point, Zhuang Xincheng could only call his backer.
"No need, you can see the person you want to see soon."
The leader of the team said meaningfully that they had already investigated who was standing behind Zhuang Xincheng, and this time the higher-ups had given the order that no one could protect Zhuang Xincheng. Not only that, but the people behind him would also be in trouble.
…
…
Raocheng!
Zhang Nuannuan had just finished interviewing several new employees and was about to take a break when she heard a quarrel outside. She frowned and walked out.
"Why you?"
Seeing Jingjing arguing with two girls, Zhang Nuannuan's face suddenly darkened. Those two girls were her classmates, the two who betrayed her and went to Wuyou Media.
"Nuannuan, we want to go back to the studio."
"Come back! You still have the nerve to come back. Have you forgotten how you betrayed us?"
Wang Jingjing sneered. She had just scolded these two people. How could these ungrateful people want to turn back? How could that be possible?
"I'm sorry, we are just a small studio. I'm afraid we can't accommodate two big Buddhas like you. Mouyou Media is more suitable for you." Zhang Nuannuan also refused directly.
"Nuan Nuan, Mouyou Media has been investigated and closed down, and we have also closed down and liquidated. Please let us come back because we are classmates."
Hearing this, Zhang Nuannuan laughed. We were classmates. Why didn’t she think of us as classmates when she left? Now she knows that we are classmates.
However, when she heard the news that Mouyou Media had gone bankrupt, she was shocked but more happy. This cancer of the industry had finally gone bankrupt.
"If Mouyou Media goes bankrupt, you can still go to other companies. Raocheng is not a media company."
Zhang Nuannuan's words made the two girls look unhappy. Of course, there is more than one media company in Raocheng, but they learned from their friends that Wang Jingjing posted on WeChat Moments yesterday, saying that the studio had received investment from the Frost Group, and it was an investment of tens of millions.
Such a large investment is enough to create many internet celebrities.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that many internet celebrities receive hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in rewards during their live broadcasts. Those are all from their own company accounts. Apart from what is deducted by the platform, the rest has to be returned to the company. With this back and forth, 10 million is enough to drive consumption data of 50 million, and the money from the consumption of other big brothers goes into their pockets.
This is why they are willing to come back even though they know that no one will be treated well this time. As long as they can get money, face is nothing.
Once you embark on the path of becoming a host and internet celebrity, you no longer care about your face.
As for internet beggars, why would you be an internet beggar if you want to save face?
"How can there be people as shameless as you? I told you to leave."
Wang Jingjing said as she pushed the two women. The two women were still unwilling to give in and looked at Zhang Nuannuan with pleading eyes. Zhang Nuannuan did not even look at them, but said to Wang Jingjing: "Don't do it, otherwise if they fall down with an excuse, it will be hard to explain. Just call the security guards."
"Yes, I'll go call security."
The two women didn't expect Zhang Nuannuan to be so ruthless. One of them said resentfully, "Zhang Nuannuan, you are so cruel. Let's wait and see."
After saying that, she turned around and walked away with her high heels clacking.
"Hey, is this the thief crying thief? Whoever betrays first, just wait and see who will be the loser."
Wang Jingjing was furious when she heard this and was about to step forward to stop him, but Zhang Nuannuan quickly grabbed her and shook her head, saying, "Jingjing, it's not worth getting into trouble for such a person. Our focus now is on how to run the company well."
"That's right. It's not worth it for these two women, but if it's for your cousin, then it's worth it. I can love beauty instead of the country."
Zhang Nuannuan rolled her eyes. Well, another woman conquered by her cousin’s looks.
At this moment, Lin Ye, who was being remembered by the woman, had just returned to his villa. He looked at the Intestine Ghost standing there with his head down and sneered.
"That's pretty good. You're a ghost and you still want to pick up girls. Picking up girls is fine, but you're also trying to stand on the platform like a human. If I weren't here, would you still have to do it?"
"Sir, you wronged me. I just went there to stand guard and not fight. You know me. I was stabbed to death before I died. What I hate most is fighting."
The intestine ghost hurriedly explained, and Lin Ye snorted: "What about the undercover plan we agreed on? Can't you find the evil ghost?"
"Sir, I am looking for her. I am getting close to that female ghost because I want to blend into the ghost circle. These ghosts have their own circles. They are wary of me as a strange ghost."
Lin Ye knew that what the Intestine Ghost said was definitely a lie, but he was not afraid of the Intestine Ghost playing tricks on him, so he waved his hand to signal the Intestine Ghost to get out, and the Intestine Ghost left with a sense of relief.
After the Quzhou issue was resolved, Lin Ye had a clear understanding of his own strength in the real world. According to what Li Datou said, among so many extraordinary consultants in the entire appraisal institute, his strength could be ranked in the top three, and among all the extraordinary consultants in the country, his strength could also be ranked in the top ten.
This statement may be flattering and a bit exaggerated, but it also shows that the strength of practitioners in the real world is indeed poor.
Lin Ye estimated that people like Li Datou had only just opened up their Qi sense. In comparison, he already had four Qi senses. However, his Taoist practice was not progressing very fast, mainly because he had too little merit.
Lin Ye gave the Buddhist Vajra Sutra to himself who was idle in another world. Now that he thinks about it, it seems that the only thing he can improve is martial arts.
Thunder and Sun Break
It's time to practice the martial arts that could have allowed me to break through the Jingzhe realm.
