The next afternoon.

The sky is gloomy.

The sun was out in the morning and the weather looked very good, but in the afternoon, the sky was covered with a layer of dark clouds.

The clouds are dark and it looks like a heavy rain is coming.

The weather in summer is like this, always sunny and rainy, just like a girl’s mood, which is unpredictable.

Zhong Cheng lit a cigarette, then walked towards the meeting room step by step with a smile on his face.

He was dressed neatly today, his hair was neatly combed, and he looked very refreshed.

Xiao Zhang followed behind him.

Xiao Zhang just looked up at the sky from time to time, and as he saw the dark clouds becoming increasingly dense, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

If Director Zhong succeeds, he will be a big shot in Joaquin Phoenix next to these shareholders. Although Xu Cancan's position in Joaquin Phoenix will not change, Shen Lianjie will withdraw from the Joaquin Phoenix stage from then on.

but……

If Director Zhong fails, then he will be doomed.

Yes.

There is no return!

I don’t know why, but Xiao Zhang hesitated when he was about to see the light at the last step.

The door of the conference room in the distance was still as ordinary as before.

Xiao Zhang looked at the gate silently, then slowed down.

"Nervous?"

"Director Zhong... I have a very bad feeling. How about... just be soft and bear it with President Xu?"

"You are too timid. Since the beginning of time, everyone has emerged from the struggle. If you worry about this and that, you will accomplish nothing. Let's go. You will have everything you want in the future." Zhong Cheng put out the cigarette butt and shook his head lightly.

Everything is under his control.

He really couldn't think of any other way Xu Cancan could turn the situation around.

He pushed the door open.

Then we came to the meeting room.

However, when he entered the meeting room, he suddenly felt very strange.

There was no one else in the meeting room except Xu Cancan, even the shareholders and assistants were not there.

Zhong Cheng suddenly frowned.

"Uncle Zhong."

"Mr. Xu."

"Isn't today a meeting day? Why is no one here?"

"I told them not to come... Uncle Zhong, I want to talk to you alone." Xu Cancan glanced at Zhong Cheng, then at Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Xu Cancan.

For some reason, he felt that the atmosphere at this moment was becoming more and more tense and depressing.

He really couldn't describe the feeling.

"Mr. Xu, would you like to talk to me alone?" Zhong Cheng smiled and sat down.

He felt that Xu Cancan had given in.

After all, she knows the current situation and she controls the general public opinion in the company.

If he were in Xu Cancan's position, he would also consider having a private chat.

Although she controlled most of Joaquin's shares, she actually had no one available under her. After all, the company's old employees would never obey a young man.

As for those new managers and artists...

They are so inexperienced that they are totally unqualified to participate.

"Well, Uncle Zhong, you have been in the company for almost twenty years, right?"

"Yes, it has been twenty years. During these twenty years, I have personally watched the company grow step by step, and gradually become a company that can now stand shoulder to shoulder with top domestic companies like Tianyu."

"Well, Uncle Zhong has made a lot of contributions to the company. I have watched the movie "Malanshan" directed by Uncle Zhong since I was a child..."

"Haha, those are all old memories and not worth mentioning." Zhong Cheng looked at Xu Cancan with a slightly nostalgic expression on her face.

He shook his head. Are you trying to give in by playing the emotional card with me now?

That’s right, after all, the saying that old ginger is still spicy is true.

"Uncle Zhong, I don't want to care about the gains and losses of a city or a pond. Uncle Zhong, do you understand? The reason why I asked these shareholders not to come here today is because I want to have a chance with you..." Xu Cancan looked at Zhong Cheng seriously.

"What?" Zhong Cheng was stunned. "Boss Xu, what did you say? Did I hear you correctly? Give me a chance? What chance do you want to give me?"

"Uncle Zhong, today, I hope you can confess to me everything you did before. From now on, you are still a veteran director of the company, and I will still respectfully call you Uncle Zhong."

"Confess? What should I confess?" Zhong Cheng narrowed his eyes.

At this point, does Xu Cancan still want to trick me into talking?

"Uncle Zhong, you should understand what I mean."

"Boss Xu, I don't know why you are targeting me, but that matter has nothing to do with me. I don't want to mention it again. At the same time, Boss Xu, you should know that many shareholders in the company are very dissatisfied with Shen Lianjie, right?"

"Haha." Xu Cancan laughed, and his expression suddenly became a little cold. "Uncle Zhong, I don't want you to lose your integrity in your later years, do you understand?"

"Mr. Xu, you don't have to mislead me anymore. You are very different from your mother... Since you have been targeting me in today's meeting, I have nothing to say. Let's leave it at this for now..." Zhong Cheng stood up, looked at Xu Cancan, then shook his head as if he seemed to be a little emotional. In the end, he turned around and left the meeting room without caring about Xu Cancan's expression.

"Uncle Zhong, as long as you step out of this conference room, you will be doomed."

"I, Zhong Cheng, have been working diligently in Huajin and have always abided by the company's rules in all aspects. It is impossible for some villains to slander me." Zhong Cheng laughed and then walked out of the meeting room calmly. After leaving the meeting room, he found that Xiao Zhang did not follow him out, so he frowned: "Xiao Zhang, what are you still standing there for? Let's go."

In the conference room, Xiao Zhang lowered his head.

His face gradually turned pale.

He just stood there motionless, as if he didn't hear Zhong Cheng's words.

"Aren't you going out with me?" Xu Cancan looked at Xiao Zhang.

"..."Xiao Zhang still gritted his teeth and remained silent.

There is no return!

Yes.

This word kept echoing in his mind.

If he goes out, he can have a chance of survival, but what if this is not a chance of survival, but a death warrant?

In the morning, he came to the company early on purpose and found that everything was very quiet in the company, as if nothing had changed.

Shen Lianjie still stayed in the crew to deal with some miscellaneous matters of the crew, and seemed to have no intention of leaving the crew.

Everything was too peaceful.

It was so quiet that it was a little scary.

"You are a smart person. You can tell me anything you know. I can assure you that you will still get the treatment you deserve in the company. After all, it's never too late for a prodigal son to turn back..." Xu Cancan looked at Xiao Zhang with interest.

The smile on his face was very deep.

Xiao Zhang's forehead was covered with sweat, and his heart was beating violently...

“I, I…”

"Xiao Zhang, aren't you leaving yet?"

Zhong Cheng suddenly stared at Xiao Zhang, and his expression suddenly turned gloomy.

He felt that Xiao Zhang was weird since this morning.

At this critical moment, wouldn't Xiao Zhang suddenly turn against us?

"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry...I..." Xiao Zhang closed his eyes.

"Xiao Zhang!"

"Uncle Zhong, this is the last time I'll call you Uncle Zhong... I've said that once you step out of this meeting room, I won't show you any mercy..." Xu Cancan looked at Zhong Cheng at the door indifferently, his expression gradually becoming extremely cold.

"Xu Cancan!" Zhong Cheng stared at Xu Cancan and even stopped calling Xu Cancan "President Xu".

"Hello, is this reporter Zhou? The information is exposed... Yes, all exposed... Yes, yes! Leave no room for doubt." After Xu Cancan finished the call, she looked at Zhong Cheng and said, "Zhong Cheng, you don't have to wait for several hours this time. You can go online in a few minutes."

At this moment, Zhong Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling.

Yes!

He looked out the window.

The dark clouds outside the window became more and more depressing and thicker.

The pressure made it hard for him to breathe.

Even though the air conditioner was on, his forehead was still covered in sweat.

He took a deep breath.

Staring at Xu Cancan.

After staring for a few minutes, his cell phone suddenly rang.

His heart skipped a beat.

"Hello……"

"What... this..."

Zhong Cheng's face suddenly turned pale.

Afterwards, he immediately logged into Weibo through his phone’s browser, and eventually saw Zhou Shuai’s exposure and various video files on Weibo.

When he opened the video file, he saw Lu Yuan's silly smile and himself sitting on a chair chatting with Lu Yuan about the details.

This moment...

He was spinning!

boom!

"Impossible, impossible, it doesn't make sense, there is no reason for him to betray me, impossible, impossible, impossible... He should be your mortal enemy, he and Shen Lianjie should be complete enemies! Impossible, impossible, it is the wisest choice for him to cooperate with me, impossible!" Zhong Cheng didn't know how many times he said impossible, even his voice resounded throughout the entire floor.

He felt like he was going crazy!

Yes, it's going crazy!

Why would Lu Yuan cheat him? It doesn't make sense, there is no reason. Someone with real vision and ambition should seek cooperation with him!

I am his best choice, right?

but……

He breathed heavily, then looked at Xu Cancan tremblingly.

Xu Cancan was still cold.

Just look at him.

There is no longer any kindness as before.

Then he looked at Xiao Zhang, who was sitting on the ground.

Seeking the skin of a tiger, seeking the skin of a tiger!

He suddenly remembered what Xiao Zhang said.

He gasped.

He discovered that Lu Yuan was indeed a ruthless tiger who would eat people without leaving any bones, and for no reason at all.

He took out his cell phone tremblingly and called Lu Yuan.

The call was connected.

"Lu Yuan! Why do you want to hurt me? Why? Tell me, why!"

"I'm sorry, Director Zhong. I lied to you about people dying for money and birds dying for food. I'm actually a good person."

"Bullshit! Are you a good person? Haha, you are a good person? A sinister and cunning person like you is a good person?"

"Director Zhong, what I said is true. I am timid and dare not take risks. I just want to make safe money..."

"Tell me, what benefit did she give you? Tell me!"

"Uncle Zhong, you don't want to know."

"Tell me, even if I die, I want to die with my eyes closed."

"Actually, I have always wanted to cooperate with your company. Of course, I don't have any big ambitions, nor do I want to become a leader of your company. I just want your company to have a long-term cooperation with my family's catering industry, for example, the boxed lunches in the crew."

"box lunch?"

"Yes! Not only boxed lunches, but perhaps there are many industries in the future where we can cooperate. Of course, I don't have any big ambitions. Besides, as I said, I'm timid..."

"Bullshit!"

“Bang!”

Zhong Cheng slammed his phone down!

Then the phone was smashed into pieces.

Then he stepped on it again.

"box lunch?"

"Fuck your lunch box!"

“Hahahaha, hahahaha, hahahahahaha…”

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Ha ha!"

He laughed.

absurd!

I feel that this world is extremely absurd.

Isn't this worth laughing at?

He has been in the entertainment industry for decades, but he actually failed...

On the lunch box?

…

Lu Yuan hung up the phone.

He felt that he was indeed a good person.

Many things that everyone thinks are ridiculous are normal in Lu Yuan's eyes.

After all, he noticed that there are actually many derivative industries in the entertainment industry.

Yes.

Derivative industries...

Of course, Lu Yuan wasn’t thinking about anything else right now.

Nor did I feel guilty.

Although Lu Yuan is not an upright person, it is impossible for him to drop his bottom line and become a villain who stabs people in the back.

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

He looked at the headlines.

Should I take this opportunity to do something?

There was a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.
