CHAPTER 495: CHAPTER 495: AN AFTERNOON VAPORIZED 30 BILLION!

"At the finals, Ning Xiaoyue got third place. If I hadn’t relaxed and kept targeting her, the result might have been different. As it turned out, we were all played. Our people were stuck in tenth place, and the debut spot was taken by Ning Xiaoyue."

Feng Tianming gnashed his teeth. He felt indignant; if it weren’t for Ning Xiaoyue, and if Lin Fan didn’t exist, his people would have surely debuted.

Wei Jiansheng’s face was somber: "Lin Fan, truly worthy of being Yun City’s richest man."

Feng Tianming said, "Mr. Wei, you’ve got to stand up for me. Being played by Lin Fan like this, I’m really not reconciled!"

Wei Jiansheng asked, "So, what are you planning to do?"

Feng Tianming showed a ferocious look: "Even though Ning Xiaoyue debuted, I don’t plan to let her have an easy life!"

Wei Jiansheng shook his head and said, "Your vision is too narrow. Even if you make Ning Xiaoyue quit the group, besides venting your anger, what does it accomplish? It’s better to focus on the next talent show! I have a feeling that in the coming years, talent shows will dominate. This is indeed a perfect new star-making model. We missed out this time, but we absolutely can’t miss the next one. Start preparing now!"

Feng Tianming wiped his cold sweat and said, "Mr. Wei’s lesson is well-reasoned. As expected, Mr. Wei has great foresight. I deeply admire and bow to you. I will start working as per Mr. Wei’s intentions promptly. But... if Lin Fan isn’t taught a lesson, I really can’t swallow this anger..."

Wei Jiansheng sneered and said, "We’ll deal with Lin Fan later. The urgent task now is to prepare for the next talent show. I’ve already gathered information; next year, Creation Star’s second season will be a boy group talent show. This time we prepare in advance, and the goal is to take the C position! Do you have confidence?"

What Wei Jiansheng said clearly implied he didn’t plan to provoke Lin Fan.

Although Feng Tianming felt unwilling and very disappointed, he didn’t dare to say much else and said, "Yes!"

Wei Jiansheng said, "In fact, I’ve already chosen a candidate. Secretary, bring him in!"

The secretary went out and quickly brought in a young man, who looked a bit feminine, but was exactly the type of young idol girls liked these days.

"Let me introduce you, Zhou Wenkun. He’s currently a trainee under my company. He previously participated in a popular variety show. Although he didn’t win the championship, he gained decent popularity. His starting point is higher than most! Plus, his singing and dancing are very good, with an excellent appearance. He definitely has the strength to take the C position. I’ll leave him in your hands to manage. I hope you won’t disappoint me again. Kun Kun, greet Brother Ming." Wei Jiansheng said.

The young idol hurriedly bowed to Feng Tianming and smiled, "Brother Ming."

Feng Tianming was also very satisfied with this young idol. Indeed, he had great potential.

"Mr. Wei, rest assured. I will do my best to nurture him to take the C position." Feng Tianming said confidently.

Wei Jiansheng said, "That’s good. You can go back now."

Thus, Feng Tianming bid farewell and left.

After meeting Wei Jiansheng this time, Wei Jiansheng disagreed with continuing to go against Lin Fan. Honestly, Feng Tianming felt quite disappointed.

It seems Wei Jiansheng couldn’t be relied upon. Although he’s a big name in the entertainment industry, he wouldn’t act unless there’s a benefit.

In Wei Jiansheng’s view, dealing with Lin Fan was not a profitable endeavor.

But Feng Tianming couldn’t swallow this bitter pill himself. It seems, for now, he can only rely on his father Feng Wanshan.

Feng Wanshan also regarded Lin Fan as a mortal enemy. Especially given this recent scandal, they were both played by Lin Fan. Feng Wanshan certainly wouldn’t let Lin Fan off.

He looked forward to seeing how Feng Wanshan would deal with Lin Fan next, hoping he would cause Lin Fan’s company to go bankrupt. By then, with Ning Xiaoyue losing her support, she’d be at his mercy!

Thinking about it was thrilling.

After leaving Cherry Entertainment Company, Feng Tianming drove off, planning to find his father.

While driving, Feng Tianming glanced at the time. It was already noon, so he habitually turned on the radio.

"This is the midday news. According to reliable sources, Shengshi Group’s president, Feng Wanshan, has been arrested by the public security authorities for suspected involvement in a disappearance case from 15 years ago!"

"The news has just come out, and Shengshi Group’s stock price has plummeted..."

"Feng Wanshan is facing multiple charges, including murder and theft."

"Explosive insider details about Feng Wanshan’s arrest, stay tuned for our in-depth report!"

Gah!

The news continued, but Feng Tianming suddenly slammed on the brakes, stopping the car right in the middle of the road.

It was a bolt from the blue, Feng Tianming’s face turned pale in an instant.

His father, Feng Wanshan, was arrested?

A disappearance case, murder charges?

What in the world was going on?

Years ago, Feng Wanshan, along with An Jincheng, stole artifacts from the Pharaoh’s Tomb, each taking one item. Feng Wanshan sold his artifact, earning the capital to start his business.

However, 15 years ago, Shengshi Group faced a financial crisis. To secure funds, Feng Wanshan hijacked An Jincheng’s diamonds, and then auctioned them underground, gaining 200 million yuan, addressing the company’s financial woes, but An Jincheng vanished without a trace after that.

No one knew if he was alive or dead!

An Jincheng seemed to have vanished into thin air!

years was enough for the world to forget An Jincheng, while Feng Wanshan lived freely, even becoming Yun City’s richest man before Lin Fan took the title. Before Lin Fan arrived, Feng Wanshan was one of Yun City’s top three moguls.

After Lin Fan came, Feng Wanshan was ousted from the top three, but regardless, Shengshi Group was a big company, and Feng Wanshan remained wealthy.

So, when the scandal of Feng Wanshan’s arrest broke out, it quickly hit the hottest trends and topped the charts.

Feng Wanshan’s deeds were immediately condemned by countless netizens.

Adding insult to injury, Shengshi Group’s stock price began to plummet, hitting the limit down by the afternoon close!

In just an afternoon, Shengshi Group lost 30 billion!

Previously, after multiple confrontations with Lin Fan, Shengshi Group’s market value had already dropped below 100 billion, falling out of the billionaires’ club.

Feng Wanshan had been actively responding, planning to return to the billionaires’ club.

Who knew, this scandal blew up, and Shengshi Group seemed beyond salvation. With Feng Wanshan, the helmsman, arrested over such severe charges, it was a devastating blow to Shengshi Group.

One could foresee that Shengshi Group’s stock price would continue plummeting, even potentially leading to its closure!

"How could this happen, what went wrong?"

Feng Tianming was frantic.

He rushed back to Shengshi Group’s building anxiously.

He saw Lin Fan and Anna walking out of the building together, appearing friendly. Anna even deliberately walked half a step behind, like she was Lin Fan’s follower.

"Why is Lin Fan here? Could it be, my father’s arrest was his doing!"

The more he thought, the more it seemed so. Isn’t Anna his father’s adopted daughter? Now she was so close with Lin Fan, clearly betraying Feng Wanshan!

"Damn it, so damn hateful!"

Feng Tianming’s eyes were blazing with fury as he detested Lin Fan to the core. Suddenly, he stepped on the gas pedal, and the car abruptly charged forward, heading straight towards Lin Fan and Anna.
