The call went through quickly.
Zhou Xiaotian's lazy voice came through, "Hello, who is this?"
Zhao Mushan chuckled and said, "Brother Tian, I'm Zhao Mushan!"
"Zhao Mushan?"
Zhou Xiaotian was slightly surprised.
As one of the Four Heavenly Kings, he had naturally heard of the other's reputation. The other was a prominent figure in Guanzhong, with over a dozen companies under his control and numerous connections in both political and business circles.
At a previous party, he tried to strike up a conversation, but the person ignored him.
Thinking about this made Zhou Xiaotian very unhappy, and he said coldly, "President Zhao, what do you want with me?"
Zhao Mushan spoke directly: "Brother Tian, let's not beat around the bush. I'll just say it straight. Xiao Weiwei is an internet celebrity from one of my media companies. The video you posted has had a very negative impact on me. I hope you will delete the video as soon as possible!"
"Oh, I see!"
Zhou Xiaotian suddenly realized, then a slight smirk appeared on his lips as he said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, I didn't expect this to have any impact on you, but I'm afraid I can't delete this video right now!"
Zhao Mushan immediately became anxious, "Brother Tian, although we don't have much of a relationship, we also don't have any grudges, right? Is it necessary for you to target me?"
Zhou Xiaotian sighed. Zhao Mushan was a man who was good at social maneuvering and had a wide network of connections. Although he didn't like him, he didn't want to offend him.
But Lin Ye asked him to film this video, so how could he dare to delete it so easily?
"Sigh, Mr. Zhao, let me be frank with you. Xiao Weiwei has offended a big shot. This video was released at my request by that big shot. I had no choice. If I didn't release it, my fate would be even worse than Xiao Weiwei's!"
Hearing this, Zhao Mushan was somewhat surprised and quickly asked, "I wonder who this important person is? If possible, I can apologize to him in person!"
Zhou Xiaotian said helplessly, "President Zhao, I'm sorry, but I can't reveal this information! I wouldn't dare to disclose information about such an important person without permission!"
Zhao Mushan frowned and said, "Hey, Brother Tian, could you help me arrange a meeting with this big shot? I'll give you a 20 million yuan reward, and I can also offer him 100 million yuan as an apology! As long as he agrees to delete the video!"
Zhou Xiaotian was taken aback, not expecting Zhao Mushan to be so generous. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Okay, then wait for me to ask him for you!"
"Okay, okay, I'll wait for your reply. Please give me your answer as soon as possible!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xiaotian called Lin Yu and explained the situation.
Lin Yu was having skewers with Feng Jiu when he heard about this. He frowned and said, "Tell Zhao Mushan that even if it's 100 million or 2 billion, this video cannot be deleted!"
Helpless, Zhou Xiaotian had no choice but to reply to Zhao Mushan with his original words.
Zhao Mushan's face was extremely ugly. Not even 2 billion?
Is this an attempt to make an exorbitant demand?
Zhao Mushan said irritably, "Brother Tian, are you kidding me? I don't see any big shots here at all. You're clearly trying to extort me!"
Zhou Xiaotian was somewhat displeased. "Zhao Mushan, how can you talk like that? Why would I extort you for no reason?"
Zhao Mushan didn't believe it. He was now convinced that Zhou Xiaotian was blackmailing him.
"Zhou Xiaotian, don't try to fool me. That video was posted by your account! Delete it now, and we'll call it a day. If you don't delete it, let me tell you, I, Zhao Mushan, am not someone to be trifled with in Guanzhong!"
Zhou Xiaotian immediately exploded, unable to hold back his roar: "Zhao Mushan, have I ever given you any face? You dare to threaten me? Fine! I'll be frank with you, I'm blackmailing you! Listen to me, without two billion, no, five billion, this matter really won't be settled!"
Snap!
Zhou Xiaotian hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
He'd disliked this kid for a long time; he always acted superior!
How dare you challenge me?
When I was a nobody, you, Zhao Mushan, were still a nobody!
However, after calming down, he began to regret it.
Although Zhao Mushan has only risen to prominence in the last two years, he has a lot of connections in both political and business circles. If things really escalate, it will be detrimental to him as well!
But there's nothing that can be done now. Should we ask him to call the other party and apologize?
Are you kidding me!
Besides, Lin Ye asked him to release this video. If something happens to him, Lin Ye can't just ignore it, can he?
Meanwhile, Zhao Mushan was furious when the call was hung up on; he stood up and kicked over the coffee table.
"Zhou Xiaotian, you're practically asking for death!!"
At this moment, a subordinate came over to report, "Boss, the video is being shared more and more, I'm afraid we can't suppress it anymore!"
Zhao Mushan took a deep breath and calmly said, "Contact a PR company and make sure this matter is suppressed. Also, bribe the Douyin (TikTok) operators to remove the trending topics and ban all of Zhou Xiaotian's videos and reposted videos! Be quick!"
"yes!"
at this time.
At a roadside stall, Lin Yu was scrolling through short videos. The number one trending topic in the local search was a video posted by Zhou Xiaotian.
He was very satisfied with what Xiao Weiwei revealed in the video. He even asked Feng Jiu to open the app and give it a thumbs up.
Feng Jiu opened her phone and quickly came across the video. Just as she was about to like it, the video suddenly disappeared.
This video violated regulations and has been deleted!
"Young Marshal, what's going on? Why was the video deleted?"
Lin Yu frowned and immediately called Zhou Xiaotian, questioning him, "Zhou Xiaotian, have you lost your mind? Didn't I tell you not to delete it?"
Zhou Xiaotian hurriedly said, "Master Lin, I'm innocent! You told me not to delete it, how could I dare to delete it! The platform said I violated the rules and automatically deleted it for me, I had no choice!"
