Chapter 30

But Su Ning knew that Shen Mingzheng was probably behind a lot of this.

He had underestimated this young Mr. Shen before.

It's not easy to be meticulous and decisive.

At a time when the outside world is changing rapidly and public opinion is exploding, the performance of the Otu Four replacement competition is about to begin.

Li Chu, who had been staying in the closed training camp managed by the program team, was not affected by what was happening outside. Zhou Chunqing was living in a guesthouse in another city, and asked him to pass a message to Li Chu, who did not have a mobile phone, saying frankly that he had not felt so relaxed for a long time.

When Su Ning took time out of his mission to visit the studio, Li Chu was indeed in the dance studio. It was lunch time and the trainees were taking a short break. When Li Chu saw Su Ning, his eyes lit up and he ran over like a rabbit, calling out, "Young Master."

His forehead was covered in sweat, and he looked tired after training, but his state was very different from before. It was as if he had regained vitality, and the tone of his voice was slightly rising.

Su Ning told him what Zhou Chunqing said, and didn't ask anything afterwards. They chatted for a while, the main idea of ​​which was to let him play well. Finally, he asked, "Shen Mingzheng didn't say anything to you before, right?"

He didn't even know when Shen Mingzheng got in touch with Li Chu. Li Chu and Zhou Chunqing had so much evidence in their hands, but they had never mentioned it to Su Ning before. Even if Li Chu confessed, he didn't explain it in such detail.

"Well, if you insist, I was the one who took the initiative to find him about this matter," Li Chu blinked, "He and Shen Huai are rivals, so I want to let him handle the matter between Shen Huai and Jiang Chenfeng. Isn't it appropriate?"

This is a three-pronged approach. It can help the young master solve his problems and allow Zhou Chunqing to escape. At the same time, Shen Mingzheng has a strong background, so it is much less risky for him to do it than for Su Ning to do it.

He had promised before that he would not lie to Su Ning again, so he really told her everything.

Su Ning: ...

Aren't you just concentrating on the competition? How can you think so much?

He felt once again that what Shen Mingzheng had mentioned to him before, that things about Li Chu were not that simple, were really, really not that simple.

But seeing Li Chu's round little rabbit eyes, Su Ning couldn't say anything.

"Don't worry, this is a fair deal between us," Li Chu seemed to see what he was thinking, and added, "For the song 'Crown Me', I can change the choreography, but in order to make it different and create something new, we also want to change the arrangement and lyrics. Song Yu was very distressed, but Mr. Shen gave him some advice."

According to the rules, Shen Mingzheng certainly cannot help with the revisions, but he is a member of the program team, and giving the trainees a few pointers is within the rules. After all, during the training period, it is one of the program team's obligations to provide guidance to the trainees.

Su Ning was surprised: "He can also do this?"

"I don't know much about composing music," Li Chu admitted, "but Song Yu said he was great, especially great."

Su Ning had a new understanding of Shen Mingzheng.

He didn't talk to Li Chu for too long, and soon someone called Li Chu's name from the corner.

"Li Chu, Li Chu, where are you?"

"It's time to eat. The food will get cold if you don't serve it soon."

Su Ning heard the voice and it was Qilin's Qu Shoubai. Even though they were competitors, it didn't sound like they had a bad relationship.

Li Chu replied, "I'm coming," and then said to Su Ning, "Actually, the people here are pretty nice."

It is easy for talented young people to get along with each other with their dreams and enthusiasm for the stage, and not everyone is so utilitarian as to fight to the death. The entertainment industry is huge and there is still a long way to go in the future. Compared with the result of a competition, what is important is one's own gains and growth.

The child made new friends.

Su Ning was a little relieved and said, "Go ahead. I brought you some fruits and other things when I came. They are all over there. Remember to share them with your classmates."

Li Chu: "Okay."

When he turned to leave, he looked back at Su Ning several times before leaving reluctantly and walking from the backstage towards the brighter front.

Su Ning waved at him.

His cooperation with Shen Mingzheng was indeed smooth sailing.

With so many things happening to Shen Huai recently, the positions within Shen Pictures have become very clear, and things within Guangying Entertainment have also been turned upside down.

Jiang Chenfeng is worthy of being in the media industry. He is very timely and well aware of the principle of shifting attention. Anyway, they are not planning to cooperate anymore, and he has some messy evidence of Shen Huai in his hands.

For example, when he intended to seize Guangying Entertainment, he even planted a lot of business spies. Except for the case of Li Chu, Shen Huai hid it from him, but he had solid evidence for many of the other people he had worked with. Another example is that he and Sang Le deliberately targeted Su Ning from the beginning to the end... and so on.

From business competition to scandalous romance, it is indeed full of explosive elements.

"I'm a little sick of this melon. You guys are so dirty. You're insulting snakes and rats by calling them the same."

"I really didn't realize it. Mr. Shen has been pretending for so long. I guess you must have been wronged."

"Fuck, let's not talk about the engagement, Mr. Su has nothing to say to you, are you trying to scheme against him like this?"

"I think the one who should be kicked out of the entertainment industry the most is Shen Huai."

But even so, Jiang Chenfeng's troubles were not completely suppressed, and soon he began to be investigated.

At this moment, even if Shen Huai wanted to repeat his old trick and divert his attention once more, it was too late. Even if he wanted to bring up Li Chu who was in the limelight, it was not enough.

At that time, he felt that there was absolutely no way out for Li Chu, a chess piece. He did not want to get involved in many things, so he handed them all to Li Chu. As a result, Li Chu had the complete video and evidence in his hands, and he could not slander him even if he wanted to.

After all, no matter how you look at it, Li Chu was a pure victim that night of fishing in Chunjiang, which only made people feel more sorry for him.

Just look at Sang Le in the front to know how terrible the sympathy votes of the public are. That is not to divert attention, it is simply to build momentum for the current Li Chu.

As for the conspiracy with Li Chu, it was even more impossible to let it go, otherwise it would prove that he had planted business spies to frame others and even engaged in adultery. Shen Huai himself would know which was more important, public opinion risk or legal risk.

What's more, at this time, Shen Huai can no longer speak out just because he wants to. The impact will be too bad. Many of his accounts have been temporarily blocked by the authorities.

What is bound to come cannot be avoided even if you try to run away.

When Su Ning met the group of shareholders headed by Ma Yi again, they no longer had that arrogant look on their faces. Just like the harsh words they said last time, they knelt on the ground and begged for help.

"Xiao Ning, no, Mr. Su, it's been so many years, I have no merit but I have worked hard, please let me go this time, I held you in my arms when you were little," he begged with tears streaming down his face, "I was too greedy before, I have old parents and young children to take care of..."

He was a grown man, crying breathlessly and talking incoherently, as if Su Ning was bullying him.

Jiang Chenfeng's revelations, combined with the information Su Ning found in the company and the information Chen Tao found, are enough to form a complete chain of evidence, proving that these people are corrupt and took advantage of their positions to accept bribes and embezzle money.

Ma Yi thought that he had done a perfect job and trusted Shen Huai too much. He even thought that he would succeed soon and the light was just around the corner, so he became complacent and is now in irreparable situation.

As Su Ning said at the beginning, occupational embezzlement is a serious crime and the penalty is imprisonment. It is not a question of whether to let him go or not.

Su Ning listened to him patiently and then asked, "So, why don't you think more before doing these things?"

Ma Yi raised his head and looked at Ning with his cloudy eyes.

"Let's follow the procedure, Mr. Ma," Su Ning looked down at him, "It's too late for you to come to me now."

After that, Su Ning rarely saw him again.

Someone from the relevant department quickly came and took him away.

The people are their own, but the sale of shares is a normal business activity, and the board of directors' discussion at the time about buying back their shares is still going on.

After Ma Yi accepted the investigation, it was Ma Yi's wife who handled the matter on his behalf. She basically had no objection to the equity transfer and just wanted to get the money and leave as soon as possible, even if the price was lower.

In fact, the equity of Guangying Entertainment has indeed dropped to a certain level. Even if Jiang Chenfeng and Shen Huai fail, it is a fact that Guangying Entertainment has financial losses, talent loss, and a mess of projects, and this will not cause any changes.

This is the impact caused by Su Ning not paying much attention to the speculation and reports from the outside world.

As Shen Mingzheng said, it is not difficult to deal with Shen Huai and Jiang Chenfeng. The key point is how to clean up the mess of the light and shadow entertainment stall.

Even if Ma Yi wins the lawsuit and has to pay some money to the company, it won’t be enough, and it’s not known when that will happen.

Even if some shareholders did not participate in those messy things, they do want to sell their shares and leave, thinking that they can still get some back now. If the company goes bankrupt after a while, they will be left with nothing. Guangying Entertainment is not a listed company, so there are no shareholders to share the risk with them.

But even if the price is low, so many people want to sell, and they have to pay a lot of money. During the heyday of Guangying Entertainment, the company's valuation was able to reach tens of billions. It has gradually shrunk over the years until its current decline. To take back about 40% of the shares, it will cost at least five or six hundred million.

Su Ning had no money, as the original owner had squandered it all. Su Hongda tried his best to collect some, but in such a short time, the most he could get was 150 million, and there was still such a big hole left.

But after listening to him, Su Ning said to him: "That's enough."

"How can it be enough?" Su Hongda didn't understand and still looked worried. "You can't force it to reach this number."

"What I mean is that 150 million can buy about 10%. By then, the Su family will have more than 50% of the shares, and they won't have to worry about anything in the future," Su Ning said. "Isn't this what you have always thought about?"

That's true.

Su Hongda was a little happy.

His emotions were now led by Su Ning, and he habitually relied on him, listening to him on all matters, big or small. He even felt complacent about Su Ning calling them both "the Su family". He asked again: "As for the rest, have you thought of a solution? Right, you are so amazing."

Su Ning took a look and said nothing, but just waved his hand, meaning that he would wait and see.

Su Hongda was really obedient at this time. He immediately shut up and left.

Su Ning doesn't judge people by flattery but by their actions. He knows that the 150 million is almost Su Hongda's only way out. The fact that he can take it all out now has already proved his attitude.

Even though Su Ning didn't have a good impression of him at first, a person's true character is revealed in times of crisis. Calling this uncle "our Su family" was also a sign of Su Ning's recognition of him to a certain extent.

Regarding the light and shadow entertainment, Su Ning was proceeding according to his own plan, but Shen Mingzheng was faster than him. After all, Shen Huai was already unable to take care of himself and there was no hope of saving him.

Soon, the Shen family in the capital made a decision. The group's documents had been issued with great efficiency, and Shen Mingzheng officially took over Shen's Pictures.

He had indeed become the heir of Shen's Films as specified in the marriage contract, and he was the only candidate.

As a result, when Shen Mingzheng, who knew nothing when he arrived in Haicheng, figured out what the question was and then found Su Ning, he had already won.

Therefore, Su Ning was not surprised by his speed, but just felt it was reasonable.

He calmly sent a congratulatory message, but he was a little distracted while editing it and thought about his own "engagement".

At first glance, the simplest option is of course to marry Shen Mingzheng and get the inheritance to resolve the crisis, but Su Hongda did not mention this because he knew it was too late.

Inheriting such a large inheritance requires waiting procedures, and the current time is no longer enough.

What's more, is it necessary for Shen Mingzheng to marry me now?

Su Ning thinks this is not necessarily the case.

Although Shen's Pictures also has a financial crisis, as long as the main family is willing to give money, plus Shen Mingzheng's ability, this matter becomes a small matter. The huge sum of money that can save Shen's Pictures is just a drop in the bucket for the Shen family. All it takes is a word from the old man.

Now that this screening test was over, it would be easy for him to get the money directly from the Shen family.

To be honest, he doesn't really need Su Ning now.

He himself said at the time that he would not touch even a single bit of the Su family's inheritance, which meant that Shen Mingzheng would not be able to gain any new benefits from this matter.

According to the cooperation content they discussed at the beginning, Su Ning originally wanted to borrow the money he owed from Shen Mingzheng or the Shen family. Even if there was no inheritance, Su Ning was not without confidence that he could repay 500 million plus interest on time.

Now it seems that it is already very good that Shen Mingzheng can fulfill this one point, which can be regarded as a perfect mutually beneficial cooperation.

With his current status and family background, he will have better choices in marriage in the future. There is really no need for him to tie himself to someone for the sake of short-term gain.

However, just as Su Ning was thinking about this, he was interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone.

It was Shen Mingzheng who called.

It wasn't long before he sent out that message of congratulations.

Su Ning hesitated for a moment, then picked up the phone. The other party asked, "Are you at the company?"

"right."

Su Ning looked at the time. It was past ten o'clock in the evening when he sent the congratulatory text message. He first finished his own company's affairs and sorted out all the messy affairs. Only then did he have some free time to pay attention to the affairs of Shen's Pictures.

The time of day and night is not a problem for Su Ning. It seems that there is only work in his life. It is common for him to live in the company when he is busy. It has always been like this and he doesn't think there is anything wrong.

"Come down," he heard Shen Mingzheng say, "I'm at the door of your company."

"I wanted to go upstairs to see you, but your company has access control. I can't get through this door, so I can only wait downstairs."
