Chapter 716 Many people came
Lu Jinzhao agreed with some hesitation, but he still felt something was off.
Miss Shen is indeed not short of money, but based on his understanding of her, Miss Shen was clearly angry just now.
How could someone who was angry agree to make a deal with the other party?
This is not like Miss Shen's usual way of doing things!
But Lu Jinzhao told himself not to speculate about what Miss Shen was going to do or how she would do it; he just needed to do the things she entrusted to him honestly.
After finishing the phone call, Shen Ci returned indoors, and the sudden change in temperature made her shiver.
"sister."
Shen Li looked up and said softly, "Chu Han and Meina invited me to dinner tonight."
"Do you want to go?" Shen Ci sat down next to her sister and reminded her, "Today's entertainment news headlines are all related to you. If you go out, you might get photographed or something else might happen."
She didn't stop her sister from going out, but only reminded her beforehand.
Shen Li smiled calmly and said without any worry, "I've already promised them, sister. I don't think I need to hide. I haven't done anything wrong."
Shen Ci was very pleased that her younger sister thought this way: "That's the right way to think. You don't need to be responsible for anyone's mistakes."
Shen Li nodded: "I know, sister. I'm very clear-headed right now. We'll find a more private place to avoid unnecessary trouble."
“I know you’ve been watching over me all day because you were worried I’d be overthinking things while I’m home alone. I won’t. I already thought about what I should and shouldn’t have thought about last night, and I won’t think about it anymore.”
Shen Ci smiled and gently took her sister's hand: "Then go and come back soon. Call me if anything happens."
"Okay, then I'll go upstairs and change into something more inconspicuous."
Watching her younger sister run upstairs, Shen Ci breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Lu Jinzhao quickly sent the information he found about "Fengyao Media" to Shen Ci, including information about the company's boss and the chief editor of the entertainment department.
"Ms. Shen, we haven't been able to find the reporter who did the interview and filming yet. This company has dozens of paparazzi."
Shen Ci stared intently at the information on her phone. It didn't matter if she couldn't find it; she had her own way of asking.
It was 5:30 p.m., and Hu Ming kept glancing at the time while sitting at his workstation.
It's already dark outside, and the boss still won't let him edit the video. In another hour, it will be the peak traffic period of the day. Should I even post the video?
Hu Ming was extremely uncomfortable. His colleagues couldn't help but ask, "Mingzi, what's wrong with you? You've been fidgeting all afternoon. Did you poop in your pants?"
"Screw you, I'm waiting for the boss's orders."
Hu Ming couldn't stand it any longer and got up to head straight for the editor-in-chief's office.
"Boss." As soon as he entered the door, Hu Ming couldn't wait to remind him, "It's 5:30, boss. If we don't edit the video soon, we won't be able to post it in time."
The editor-in-chief was sitting on the sofa, leisurely making tea. Hearing this, he looked up at him and asked, "What's the rush?"
He casually poured himself a cup of tea and pushed it forward, saying, "Sit down and have some tea. Wait with me."
Hu Ming was confused and asked, "Wait?"
What are we waiting for?
"Boss, what does this mean?" Hu Ming asked, looking confused. "Are we still releasing the video?"
The editor-in-chief no longer concealed anything, saying only, "Whether it's published or not depends on the other party's attitude, you know what I mean?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Ming immediately straightened his posture.
"Boss, have you spoken with them?"
"Hmm." The editor-in-chief raised an eyebrow and smiled smugly. "I didn't intend to hide this from you. At noon, I wasn't sure if we could close the deal, but now that we have, I feel relieved to tell you. You deserve the credit, and I certainly won't treat you unfairly."
This really excited Hu Ming.
"How much, boss?"
"Don't ask that yet." The editor-in-chief took a sip of tea and glanced at the time again: "They said they would arrive before six o'clock, and I think that's about the right time."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and an employee rushed in, looking flustered: "Boss!"
He was startled and glared at her irritably: "What's wrong with you? Can't you knock?"
The man pointed outside, his voice trembling, and said, "Boss, people are coming outside, lots of people!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Ming instinctively stood up, wanting to go out and see what was happening, but he was pushed back by a large hand outside the office door as soon as he reached it.
Hu Ming was thin and small. Caught off guard, he stumbled two steps and fell to the ground with a thud.
Looking up, I saw a burly man in black, easily over 1.9 meters tall, stride into the office with a menacing look on his face. Behind him, six other men followed in, each with a fierce expression.
The editor-in-chief was terrified, staring in horror at everything that was happening before him. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he suddenly heard a series of loud "bangs" coming from outside the office.
Each sound made the group shudder.
Just as he was wondering what these people had smashed, the burly man in the lead suddenly pulled out a baseball bat from his waist.
Upon seeing this, Hu Ming scrambled to his feet and ran to the editor-in-chief's side: "Boss, what's going on?"
The editor-in-chief didn't know either, and thought the man was going to beat him up. But the big man just walked to the corner with a baseball bat, swung his hand, and knocked down the surveillance camera with a "bang".
The sound was the same as what we just heard outside, which means that their company's internal surveillance system may now be completely compromised.
"Which one is Hou Liang?"
At this moment, someone finally spoke up, leaning against the door frame, his sharp eyes sweeping over the people in the room.
Hu Ming subconsciously looked at the editor-in-chief: "Boss, it seems like... it seems like they're looking for you."
Hou Liang glared at him, then had no choice but to steel himself and raise his hand: "I...I am Hou Liang, brothers, is there some misunderstanding?"
Duanduan gave a cold, insincere snort: "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there be? Weren't you just waiting here for someone to bring you money?"
Hou Liang was startled: "You're from 'Golden Zodiac'?"
"What 'golden' or 'silver'? Duan Duan walked forward impatiently, beckoning Hou Liang with her hand: 'Where are the things?'"
Hou Liang feigned ignorance: "What is it?"
"What did you say?" Duan Duan glared at him, and the temperature in the whole room seemed to drop five degrees. "You'd better have some shame when I'm speaking to you nicely. Where's the stuff?!"
Hou Liang was reluctant to hand it over like that; they had agreed on a deal for a thousand yuan.
He looked hesitant, but was also afraid, giving off a cowardly air of resentment and fear of being beaten.
The next second, the man in black standing next to the desk swung his baseball bat and smashed the computer monitor on the desk to pieces with a "bang".
Hou Liang was so frightened he almost jumped up. His mind cleared instantly, and he quickly said, "I... I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you right now."
