Chapter 13

Su Hongda heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, but then hesitantly said, "Additional investment..."

"Don't you still want to buy a ticket? I see that your family has a lot of spare money. If you are in a hurry to spend it, you might as well just vote for the show." Su Ning looked at his face and added, "Don't worry, you won't lose money. This season's debut group is pretty good."

In addition to investing in the show, Guangying Entertainment can also get part of the profits from the subsequent group operation. This is written in the investment contract, so Su Hongda insisted on forcing Su Ning to join in order to reap all the benefits.

Moreover, Chen Yuan has extensive connections in the circle, so it is very important to maintain a good cooperative relationship with her. This alone is something that money cannot easily buy.

He patted Su Hongda on the shoulder and said, "Look further ahead."

Su Hongda couldn't help but be led by him. When he thought about it, it was indeed the truth. He almost forgot that this was his junior. After thinking about it, he frowned again: "Wait, you can't just decide to spend money! It wasn't you who took charge of this matter before, what do you know? Also, you want a spot, who are you going to nominate?"

Su Ning didn't say anything directly, but waved his hand and said, "No hurry. Let's finish the meeting with Director Chen first and discuss it first."

During the time when Chen Yuan came, Su Ning had no free time either, as there were a bunch of media outside, crowded and noisy. They asked a lot of questions during the live broadcast, and they wanted to continue asking questions now.

Guangying Entertainment was originally a production company that focused on behind-the-scenes work, so it was okay to give them some travel expenses, but they had never encountered such a big fuss. Director Yao of the public relations department had almost never dealt with similar public relations events, so it was inevitable that they were in a mess.

Su Ning did not forget her and turned around to help. The media is the most vindictive and the hardest to offend, but it is not okay to just go along with it. Guangying Entertainment paid the travel expenses not to suffer any punishment, and the script cannot be written randomly and continue to deviate the rhythm.

He discussed it with Director Yao, who nodded repeatedly.

I don’t know why, but this person seems particularly reliable today, like a completely different person.

At this moment, Shen Huai, who was standing aside, calmed down. When he came to his senses, he found that everyone was surrounding Su Ning, like the moon surrounded by stars.

Things started to get out of his control.

He was able to keep his composure, and when he followed Su Ning out and spoke again, it was as if none of the previous unpleasantness had happened.

"Xiao Ning, blame me. I was impulsive before."

"Well, I'll go with you to the media, so you can have a helper. There are some things I haven't thought through carefully enough, and I'm afraid you don't have experience, so please don't be angry with me. Uncle Su, don't worry, I'll meet Director Chen and the people from the platform when they come. Director Chen and I are old acquaintances, so there won't be any problems."

This is what was said.

I didn't call him, but he just came in naturally.

Su Ning didn't want him to talk to the media, otherwise he wouldn't know what to say. Just as he was about to refuse, someone spoke at this moment.

"You don't have to go. I will take care of the media and Director Chen Yuan," Shen Mingzheng said. "If you have time, you might as well pay more attention to your own reputation and not cause trouble for the company."

Shen Huai's face froze, and he argued: "I am also a special guest instructor of the program team, I..."

"You also know that you are just a mentor, not a shareholder of the company, nor a member of the investment department, right?" Shen Mingzheng looked at him, "Go back."

His tone was commanding, and what he said was just as irritating as what Su Ning had just said, reminding people of his identity all the time.

No matter how reluctant Shen Huai was, he didn't dare to do anything in front of Shen Mingzheng. He could only take a deep breath, turn around and leave.

He felt that Shen Mingzheng seemed to know who was behind the incident, and the program team fired those employees in a very drastic and swift manner. This was probably what he meant.

Ever since this guy parachuted in, nothing has gone well for him!

In the end, it was Shen Mingzheng and Su Ning who went over to the media side. After taking control of the situation, Director Yao also gradually became more adept at it.

After most of the media had left, Su Ning called her over and whispered a few words to her.

The online media outlets that arrived the latest and had the sharpest words were the last to arrive. The leader exchanged glances with Shen Mingzheng before they all walked out together.

Shen Mingzheng also prepared to leave, but was stopped by Su Ning before he had gone far.

"Everyone, don't be in a hurry to leave. Since you are invited by Mr. Shen, please wait a little longer. I have something to discuss here," he said as he stood up, still smiling. "I just asked my subordinates to prepare a small lounge next to us. It's just a temporary arrangement. I have prepared some tea. Why don't you take a rest there with Mr. Shen?"

Shen Mingzheng glanced at him.

When he had a distant view in the live broadcast room before, Su Ning probably realized who had invited these media outlets that were not on the list and were speaking rudely.

Shen Mingzheng had no intention of letting the so-called press conference go ahead. He wanted to protect the reputation and future of the program team and not let Guangying Entertainment do such a thing.

If Su Ning had not prepared in advance, the media that Shen Mingzheng had invited would definitely make it difficult for both Shen Huai and him to save the day. A failed live press conference would make it impossible for him to return to the program team.

Su Ning had clearly guessed it, but his attitude was still very friendly.

He also guessed that Shen Mingzheng wanted to keep these media to discuss further, so these people stayed in the venue until the end and did not leave. They originally wanted to find a cafe outside to discuss, but now there is no need.

Because Su Ning took the initiative to find a place for them.

The meeting room was not fussy. From tea to equipment, it was obvious that they had started preparing in advance when they were dealing with the media.

Director Yao, who brought them here, was very polite: "I will go to the venue first. Everyone, please do as you please. If you need anything, please let me know at any time. I will notify you when Director Chen Yuan and the platform staff arrive."

If that were all, it would just be normal hospitality, and at most it would be considered very considerate, but nothing special.

The reason why Shen Mingzheng wanted to keep these media to discuss was mainly because Shen Huai would not give up. Now that the situation has changed, he naturally had to seize the window of public opinion. With so many media platforms on the Internet, he could not always let Jianghai Media have the sole right to speak.

But these media people are as slippery as foxes and are not so obedient.

He has never liked dealing with these people in his life, and these emerging online media with wide influence are not simple. If it weren't for the fact that his special assistant Chen Tao was capable and there was indeed a breaking point today, a newcomer Shen Mingzheng would not be able to call on these big names, even if he did have a strong background.

Now that the live broadcast has ended and the traffic dividend is in their mouths, these people are starting to take advantage of it again.

Until now, the two sides have only been discussing, and Shen Mingzheng cannot completely command them on how to do things. It is not easy just to hope that they remain neutral in facts and slightly biased in words.

After a while, the situation became tense. After the negotiations broke down, these media outlets even prepared to leave on the pretext of being in a hurry to publish articles. Then someone knocked on the door of the conference room. It was Director Yao.

When I calculated the time, Chen Yuan had not arrived yet. She just handed over a plan, which was specifically for Shen Mingzheng.

"This is what we agreed to give you before the meeting. Some details about the changes to the competition system are all in this plan. Director Chen Yuan has generally agreed. If Mr. Shen has other ideas, you can always tell us," Director Yao said. "We are all for the sake of the show. We at Lighting Entertainment naturally attach the most importance to Mr. Shen's opinions." Yan Shan stopped

"Everyone, chat slowly. I'm going to leave first."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the media changed visibly, and those who were about to leave sat back down in an instant.

The media never tires of "exclusive revelations", not to mention that the changes to the Idol Star Chart competition system are at the center of controversy. There are speculations from the outside world, but no solid evidence. I originally thought that such a big thing should not be confirmed and announced so quickly, and Su Ning was just looking for an excuse to keep him, but I didn't expect that the plan has now come out.

Shen Mingzheng responded quickly, saying, "I think we have finished talking. If we can't reach a consensus, I won't force it. Since Director Chen is coming soon, everyone should go back first."

Chen Tao on the side also stood up at the right time: "Then I will see you off."

After he said this, the other party refused to leave.

Those people stared at the cover of the plan in his hand, wishing they had X-ray vision. They laughed dryly and said, "Boss Shen, since we are cooperating, you shouldn't hide such important news from us, right?"

Shen Mingzheng did not respond, but Chen Tao snorted coldly: "You also know that this is cooperation. Before, the Blackwater Army was so powerful that people who raised doubts and spoke fair words were scolded. President Shen did not let you do anything in the limelight. Now that public opinion has finally turned around, you are still hesitant."

"It's not a big deal. You should just leave. There's no need to say anything more in the future."

The media looked at each other in bewilderment, and when they spoke again, their attitudes became noticeably better, and subsequent discussions went much more smoothly.

Director Yao came at the perfect time.

But she was definitely not the one who commanded it; it was Su Ning who did it.

If he hadn't checked it specifically, Special Assistant Chen would have suspected that he had placed some kind of eavesdropping device here.

After sending away those online media, he couldn't help but mutter to Shen Mingzheng about Su Ning: "He now looks a bit like the old General Su. He is very good at dealing with people. After so many years of training, he may have learned something. Maybe he didn't pay attention to it before, but now that the disaster is coming, he has to take it up."

Shen Mingzheng didn't think it was that simple.

In addition to his sophistication in dealing with the media, this plan is very detailed, showing that it was carefully thought out. It was actually rushed out by the famous idiot Su Ning in just one night.

This is even less like rebirth.

If it is true that he was reborn, it is understandable that his personality has changed, but it is very strange that his abilities, preferences and even behavior patterns have all changed.

Even Chen Tao was amazed after reading the plan and sighed, "I thought only workaholics like you would stay up late to finish a plan yourself, but I didn't expect there would be another one here."

Yes, the strong action, decisiveness and strategic planning ability of Su Ning in front of us cannot be cultivated in a short time. It took Shen Mingzheng more than 20 years to become like this.

But Su Ning died very early, and he disappeared inexplicably after Guangying Entertainment went bankrupt. Even if he was reborn, there shouldn't be such a big change.

With such doubts, Shen Mingzheng sent the media away. Chen Yuan and the program crew were almost downstairs. He and Su Ning met briefly in the elevator. The other party just asked politely: "Mr. Shen, is everything going well?"

Shen Mingzheng nodded.

"The media is always like this. They won't release the eagle until they see the rabbit." Su Ning said with a smile, "But this time I am also grateful to Mr. Shen, otherwise those people would not have been found. I hope everything goes well for you."

He left the matter at this point without asking any further questions or taking any credit for it.

This was definitely not the person he had in mind.

Shen Mingzheng can be sure.

This is a new and completely unfamiliar Su'ning.
