When dealing with people in the entertainment circle, Young Master Cao didn't have so many schemes in mind.
They were not in his league.
Take Orya, for example, a leading brand in the cosmetics industry with a market value starting at tens of billions of euros. Any of its sub - brands was globally well - known.
Like Lancôme.
The "First Lady" of their group was the richest woman in the world.
If Young Master Cao wanted to take over such a colossal enterprise in a "snake swallowing an elephant" move, he had to plan meticulously.
However, did he need to go to great lengths to deal with people in the entertainment circle?
Was the so - called hacker of intermediate level a fake?
All he had to do was let Wang Haodong act as the "disciplinary inspector" in the circle and expose their misdeeds. Naturally, the tax authorities and the police would come to take them away, and they would end up in prison for life.
It was that simple and straightforward.
But this kind of method wouldn't work on Orya.
Who in the world didn't know how luxurious and promiscuous the "First Lady" of Orya was?
Moreover, she didn't have many years to live.
As for bribery, did it really matter in the West?
So,
Different means should be used to deal with different opponents.
...
The incident was still fermenting.
Where there was a pioneer, there were bound to be followers.
Since Deputy General Manager Wang had taken the lead, some of the artists under his company or those with a certain degree of popularity naturally stood up to support him.
They attacked Miracle Media.
For a moment, it seemed that the entertainment circle was ganging up on Miracle Media.
It was as if Miracle Media had committed some heinous crime.
After three days of fermentation, all those who were going to speak out had done so...
Most of them were from the "Toilet Faction".
There were also some other "small fry", that is, those semi - popular or eighteen - line artists who liked to chase after popularity.
Of course,
"Little Cannon" also voiced his opinion.
It was expected.
But "Little Cannon" didn't have the literary talent of Deputy General Manager Wang.
He sneered at Young Master Cao, "Young man, this circle is not as simple as you think."
Young Master Cao didn't even bother to reply. The words were meaningless.
After seeing Deputy General Manager Wang's well - written statement, the remarks of others no longer impressed Young Master Cao.
...
While everyone was attacking Young Master Cao.
For nearly a week, Cao Cheng didn't show up.
Miracle Media also refused all interviews.
Just when everyone thought Young Master Cao was going to avoid the issue, another piece of news spread in the circle.
Zhuo Gou V: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your appreciation. From now on, our company will follow Mr. Wang's lead. With new leadership, our Fengxing Entertainment Reporters Studio is bound to come up with new revelations to welcome Mr. Wang. @Wang Haodong! @Young Master Cao! @Funan TV Station!"
"??"
Zhuo Gou wasn't the top paparazzi in the circle yet, but he already had a high profile.
After all, he became famous overnight by exposing the affairs of "Jackie Long" and Zhang Ziyi, and then "Little Cannon".
Many people followed him.
Every time he made a revelation, it was well - founded and a big deal.
Now that he suddenly changed his boss...
At first, it didn't attract much attention.
But soon, people noticed something was wrong, mainly because of the people Zhuo Gou @'d. Weren't they at the center of the storm?
Who was Wang Haodong?
People didn't know.
But everyone knew who Young Master Cao was.
The same went for Funan TV Station.
What was the relationship between these people?
Vaguely, people felt that something big was about to happen.
...
Soon.
Wang Haodong also posted a message.
He posted a selfie. He wasn't extremely handsome, but he looked decent.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Wang Haodong!"
"Hello, Mr. Wang."
"Good day, Mr. Wang."
"Mr. Wang..."
With the promotion from Zhuo Gou, some curious people soon flocked to Wang Haodong's page.
People didn't know what Wang Haodong did.
But it didn't stop them from calling him Mr. Wang.
After all, since he could take over Zhuo Gou's studio, there must be someone powerful behind him.
Wang Haodong's fans quickly exceeded ten thousand and kept growing.
Then,
Wang Haodong posted another Weibo.
"See you on Monday. There will be a big scoop! It's about the deputy general manager of the 'Toilet' network. Hehehe~~~@Zhuo Gou! @Young Master Cao! @Wang Chengye, Deputy General Manager of Zongheng Sihai - Toilet Network!"
Whoosh!
The fans were excited.
Just by looking at the people Wang Haodong @'d, they knew it must be a big deal.
Especially in the past few days, Wang Chengye's remarks had caused a great stir in public opinion against Miracle Media.
Until now, Miracle Media and Young Master Cao hadn't responded at all.
The on - looking fans were a little disappointed.
They even thought Young Master Cao was a coward.
But now...
It seemed that the real drama was just beginning.
...
It was Saturday now.
Monday was coming soon.
Everyone couldn't wait.
On Sunday, Wang Haodong's identity was dug out.
It wasn't much of a secret.
Wang Haodong was a rich second - generation from Zhonghai with a family fortune of billions.
People suddenly realized, with an expression of "I knew it". This identity made sense. Otherwise, how could he take over Zhuo Gou's studio?
Then, another revelation came out.
Wang Haodong and Young Master Cao seemed to be good friends.
And there was solid evidence.
Some observant people found Wang Haodong in the photo of the press conference of "The Voice of China Season 1". At that time, he was standing beside Young Master Cao as an attendant.
No one cared about this ordinary - looking guy at that time. They thought he was just Young Master Cao's assistant or follower.
But now...
The situation was different.
In the past few days, Wang Chengye and some of his underlings had been constantly attacking Miracle Media.
The sudden alliance between Wang Haodong and Zhuo Gou seemed to be the horn of a counter - attack.
...
At the "Toilet" network.
A senior executive slammed his phone on the table and roared, "This Zhuo Gou, why doesn't he answer the phone?"
"What does he want to do?"
"And that guy surnamed Wang. Even if he has a grudge against the guy surnamed Cao because of previous incidents and wants to put Cao Cheng down, he should at least consult us."
"Making a statement on his own. Does he think he's so great?"
This senior executive always felt that something was wrong.
Was Cao Cheng someone to be bullied easily?
Looking back on his past actions, when had he ever not struck first?
This time, he had endured for nearly a week. There must be a big move coming.
These simple words "See you on Monday" made him tremble with fear.
As a senior executive of the company, he had the best relationship with Wang Chengye. Naturally, he also knew that there were some shady things behind Wang Chengye.
If something was really dug out, he would also be implicated.
So,
When Zhuo Gou made his statement and the relationship between Wang Haodong and Cao Cheng was confirmed, his first reaction was to try to suppress the matter and reach a private settlement.
No matter what the scoop on Monday was, it must not be exposed.
Unfortunately,
The situation seemed to be out of his control.
...
Many people in the entertainment circle were also paying attention to this incident.
But no one spoke up.
Including "Little Cannon".
"Little Cannon" had a very bad relationship with Zhuo Gou.
Originally, "Little Cannon" wanted to say something sarcastic.
But in the end, he was stopped by Old Xu.
It was not the right time to speak.
It was better to wait and see what happened.
Anyway,
Cao Cheng was definitely not a pushover.
Until he woke up from a nap, he felt like he had missed out on a fortune.
Because at exactly six o'clock in the morning, Zhuo Gou and Wang Haodong simultaneously posted a picture.
The content was quite simple.
"What a chaotic circle! Regarding the hidden rules in talent shows, tax evasion, bribery and corruption... The above information is just a small part, and we're making it public for everyone to see. Additionally, we've handed over more information to the local police station last night."
"As a conscientious entertainment reporter and a conscientious fan."
"We truly hope that the entertainment industry will get better and better, and that there will be fewer of these dirty and filthy things."
"Mr. Wang, you'd better watch out for yourself!"
@Wang Chengye, Deputy General Manager of Toilet TV - All at Sea
...
This is a huge scoop.
Previously, it was all just gossip and scandals.
At most, it was just a moral issue.
This is the first time Zhuo Gou has sent someone to jail...
At noon, many departments were seen going to Toilet TV and taking Wang Chengye away.
It was completely confirmed.
Wang Haodong then posted: "I'm not from the disciplinary inspection department, but I'm an entertainer with a conscience. My brother, Lao Cao, once told me that one should conduct oneself in an upright and honest manner, and I deeply agree with this!"
"In the future, I'll also keep an eye on the entertainment industry. Here, I'd like to warn all those in the circle, whether you're an artist, a boss, or an investor, you'd better not make mistakes. If you do, I'll definitely hold you accountable!"
"Mr. Wang is awesome."
"Mr. Wang is awesome."
"Mr. Wang..."
Wang Haodong was delighted.
He finally understood what Cao Cheng had meant by those words he said.
Is this what it means to shine?
Wang Haodong felt like he had found his life's direction. This was the meaning of being alive...
What about women.
What about money.
What about fame.
None of them could compare to the respect from everyone.
At this moment, Wang Haodong thought he was going to become a sage.
From now on, Zhuo Gou will still be Zhuo Gou, but I, Wang Haodong, will no longer be the old Wang Haodong.
Please call me: Master Wang!
The "Master" like Confucius and Mencius.
...
...
On Monday noon, Wang Chengye was taken away by the relevant departments.
In the afternoon, some announcements were made, including the matters of tax evasion and bribery.
This is a major event.
On the contrary, the list of people who were sexually harassed by Wang Chengye later announced by Zhuo Gou didn't cause as much of a stir.
But within the industry, it did cause quite a few fans to wail and cry.
Especially when they saw their favorite female artists on the list, they felt as if they had been cuckolded.
On Tuesday.
After disappearing for a week, Young Master Cao finally showed up.
@Young Master Cao V:
"I've been quite busy recently. After all, as you all know, I have many companies under my name... I just found out what happened online today."
"Actually, I'm quite grateful to Mr. Wang. I'm grateful that he tested the law with his own body and personally verified the meaning of the saying #Those unworthy of their status will surely face disasters#. It's really a just retribution."
"This is his disaster, but it's a wake - up call for all entertainers. I hope everyone will keep this in mind."
"I heard that Mr. Wang loves to ask three questions the most. I'll also ask three in return. It's only proper to reciprocate. This has always been my way of dealing with people."
"One: You said that a female secretary living in a multi - million - dollar mansion is a youth bonus. Then what about you giving shares to eighteen mistresses - is it a form of distributed storage for human resources? Is this your personal habit or Toilet TV's habit? I'm quite curious about this and hope your company can clarify it."
"Two: Your company's "Happy Girls" should actually be "Happy Young Women", right? But are they really happy? I'm a bit skeptical about this. I've seen the list of those who were sexually harassed. On behalf of the fans, I'm curious and want to ask, are you really happy? After all, Mr. Wang is already that old... Tsk tsk."
"Three, you said that a suit and tie can't cover up the decline of moral bottom - line... One should cultivate one's character, which is the great way! And business ethics is also human ethics..."
"I'm curious. The "way" you're talking about here... isn't it a foot massage parlor's "way"?
"A foot massage parlor is also a kind of "way", and massage techniques are also a kind of "law"?
"If so, then please "let the person go to jail, and leave the 'way' behind"!"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
