CHAPTER 861: CHAPTER 863: WAIT AND SEE

Zhang Ming seemed to understand his thoughts, took a few steps back to pry Li Songzheng’s hands off his legs, and said calmly:

"I told you before, there are many methods in the company that you haven’t seen. It’s all right if you don’t want to talk now, but don’t blame me for not giving you a chance."

Li Songzheng felt a jolt in his heart and quickly said, "I’ll talk, I’ll talk!"

"It was... it was Agent Zhou, I saw Agent Zhou. Not long after I joined the company, I wanted to open your office, Agent Zhang, but I couldn’t—I didn’t have the key, so I decided to leave.

Anyway, the task I received was to investigate the news you got yesterday as much as possible. Without your key, how else could I investigate? I just thought I’d report this result, and anyway, I got my money."

Li Songzheng took a few deep breaths and slowly recounted yesterday’s experience, like he had seen a ghost, extremely frightening.

If he could choose again, he would absolutely not want to be involved in such a thing!

"I wanted to leave, but suddenly saw lights flickering in the stairwell. I hurriedly hid under the table, and then saw that person’s face—it was Agent Zhou!

I didn’t dare look further, huddled tightly under the table, hearing the sound of the door opening. I don’t know how long passed until I heard the door closing. Even after he left, I didn’t dare go, afraid someone might be blocking the exit!

It was about an hour later when I finally dared to leave."

Sheng Yan’s eyes were icy cold, his whole being as sharp as a blade. An internal traitor turned out to be Zhou Hongtu, something he had never expected!

Zhou Hongtu was an old employee at Tonghua Entertainment, had a good relationship with the previous leader, and his abilities were outstanding. He never opposed him, so when Sheng Yan, the new board director, took office, he did not dismiss Zhou Hongtu.

Tonghua Entertainment was not a family business of the Sheng Family. The Sheng Family merely held a portion of the shares.

When he first debuted at Tonghua Entertainment, he made a bet with the company executives to become a superstar. Once he became a superstar, he would obtain 20% of Tonghua Entertainment’s shares.

As it turned out, he succeeded, and the shares he won, combined with the original Sheng Family’s shares, catapulted him to become the largest shareholder in Tonghua Entertainment. That same year, he took over the company’s chairman position.

The new officer brought sweeping reforms to Tonghua Entertainment, introducing many new systems, rejuvenating the top entertainment company.

In the process of implementing new systems, there would naturally be resistance from many old-timers. Yet Zhou Hongtu was wise and always stood by his side, supporting his decisions.

That’s why Sheng Yan never doubted him.

Unexpectedly, now he was the one to betray Tonghua Entertainment!

As for Li Songzheng, he was merely a small fry easily bought by other forces. There were many like Li Songzheng in the company who never rose to high positions, which Sheng Yan also didn’t care about.

He initially spread the rumor about being photographed in scandalous photos to bait a big fish in high places. Now, this fish was finally hooked; it’s just uncertain if there are any other big fish.

Zhang Ming was still contemplating forcing more secrets out of Li Songzheng’s mouth.

Li Songzheng shook his head vigorously, "Really, I don’t know anything else. The contacts are all here; you can check for yourselves. You can even take my phone; I’m not hiding anything."

"Agent Zhang, please let me go. I shouldn’t have been tempted by greed. I’m innocent, I was wrong, I’m sorry, woo... please let me go..."

"Enough." At this point, Sheng Yan spoke calmly, "Pack up and head down. You’ve been promoted to regional manager. If there’s any more intel in the future, feel free to report to Zhang Ming. Good intel won’t go unrewarded."

Li Songzheng looked bewildered, not understanding what had just happened.

This appearance made Zhang Ming want to slap him, so stupid!

"Aren’t you going to leave instead of standing around being an eyesore?" Zhang Ming scolded quietly.

Li Songzheng snapped back to reality, nodded hurriedly, and with trembling legs, got up and hurried out.

"Bang!" The door closed. Zhang Ming looked at Sheng Yan and asked gravely, "About this matter—"

Sheng Yan said calmly, "Wait and see."

Zhang Ming acknowledged, "Yes!"

Everything was within expectations; the torn paper had been swapped by him. If assembled, the paper would reveal nothing more than an ordinary news article.

Yet...

Since Agent Zhou has gone so far as to steal documents, those lurking in the shadows must be impatient to take Sheng Yan down.

If the torn paper contained any dirt on Sheng Yan, even better. But if there wasn’t, those intent on fabricating dirt could naturally create some, turning fiction into fact!

For now, setting aside the ever-changing office politics, on this day, all crew members of "Special Action" gathered to head to another city to record the variety show "Today’s Hot News"!

As an established variety show, "Today’s Hot News" naturally stood the test of time due to its unique traits.

Not only were the games they played innovative, but the atmosphere energized on set was extremely joyful, making viewers very happy to watch, quite different from reality shows.

Reality shows focus more on "passionate collisions and competition," while "Today’s Hot News" involves games but leans more on comedic elements.

Arriving at the "Today’s Hot News" filming site by evening, after a brief meal, everyone plunged into the tense recording, running from six in the evening to nine at night.

Jinxia was no stranger to "Today’s Hot News," knowing the program’s flow very well and having great chemistry with the two hosts.

She could catch all the hints the hosts threw her way, managing the scene together to create a multitude of hilariously funny situations.

Of course, the crew of "Special Action" was also working hard. Initially unfamiliar with the rhythm of variety shows, after over an hour of games, they adapted, plunging wholeheartedly into the fun.

The most astonishing was certainly Gong Hongyu, the lead actor of "Special Action." His performance in the program was impeccable, matching Jinxia’s first participation, truly excellent.

Recall when Jinxia first appeared on "Today’s Hot News" a few years ago, showcasing a jaw-dropping physique, with abs that were both healthy and alluring, excelling in outdoor sports activities, embodying a maximum measure of masculinity.

The two hosts had received information on Gong Hongyu, knowing his military background, naturally not missing the chance to hype this fact.

Being a soldier meant his physical quality was top-notch, so they didn’t let Gong Hongyu off, setting numerous high-difficulty competitive tasks. The harder they were for others, the more they highlighted Gong Hongyu’s heroism.

The only one who could give him a run for his money was Jinxia. A man and woman battling it out, sweeping away all opposition, laughing proud in the itinerant world!
