"Don't worry, don't feel pressured. Anyway, I'll give you some money, and you're in charge of finding talent scouts to discover talent on the street. There's no rush, take it slow. For now, we're not making movies, we're just signing artists and supporting them," Tang Ping said.
“Okay, the boss thinks highly of me, Xia, so I will definitely do my best.”
The matter of setting up the company was naturally left to Lin Yuan; it was just a matter of registering and handling some formalities.
Tang Ping's desire to start an entertainment company wasn't unfounded. Firstly, the entertainment industry is poised for explosive growth. With the economy booming, countless artists and celebrities are emerging, causing their market value to skyrocket. Whether it's making movies or engaging in entertainment in the future, it's guaranteed to be profitable.
Secondly, Yuxueqing soap has never had a brand ambassador, so it needs to hire a female celebrity to endorse it and increase publicity. This is also part of Bai Xiaojie's company development plan.
However, Bai Tianhang's offer to the female celebrity was one million, and it could only be used for two years, after which it would have to be renewed.
Therefore, Tang Ping thought that he would definitely need it for doing business in the future.
After settling things off with Sister Xia, Tang Ping gave Hu Xiandong some instructions on the details of what would happen that evening.
late at night.
Section Chief Liu had just returned home from a meeting at the fire station.
There's nothing we can do; things have gotten out of hand today. Who would have thought that the villagers from Mang Village would be so fierce? Not only did they block the entrance to the fire station, but they also beat up the station chief.
That evening, the fire department held an emergency meeting to discuss the details of how to handle the aftermath, because Meng Dehai had already called and said that if the fire department didn't take proactive measures, they wouldn't be able to respond to the call again next time.
Although firefighters are also under the jurisdiction of the People's Armed Police Force, they do not have law enforcement authority on their own.
Director Xiao has been hiding at home and dares not show his face. The deputy director is in charge of presiding over the meeting. After discussion, everyone unanimously decided to stop the restrictions on fire-fighting equipment in Mangcun and the rectification of Tangping Soap Factory.
After the meeting, Section Chief Liu was about to go home when he suddenly felt dizzy as he stepped out of the fire station. He was then stuffed into a sack and thrown into a car.
"Help! Help! What are you doing? I'm the section chief from the fire department!"
Section Chief Liu struggled desperately, shouting and yelling.
Suddenly, a sharp metal object was pressed against his neck, and a slightly sinister voice said, "If you yell again, I'll stab you to death!"
Section Chief Liu was so frightened that he trembled and immediately shut up.
He didn't know how much time had passed when Section Chief Liu heard the sound of fishing boats and found himself with a large rock tied to his body.
This is like throwing yourself into the river to feed the fish!
Now, Section Chief Liu was truly panicked and hurriedly said, "Brother, brother, let's talk this out. If I've offended you in any way, please tell me, I'll change, I'll admit my mistake, I'll pay you back, I'll do anything you ask. Please don't kill me, I beg you!"
"Do you know where you went wrong?" the gloomy voice asked.
"Wrong, I..."
Section Chief Liu was a little confused and couldn't remember for a moment. He tentatively asked, "Is it because of Xiao Wang? I'm sorry, I deserve to die. I shouldn't have slept with his wife, but I swear to God, it was his wife who seduced me first!"
"That's not it."
"That was Old Mrs. Li? It's really not my fault. Her little shop didn't meet fire safety standards, and the regulations stipulated that she would be fined. She died of anger, it's not my fault."
Section Chief Liu continued to defend himself.
The gloomy voice said angrily, "You fucking deserve to die. If the boss hadn't spoken, I would have thrown you into the river. Damn it, let me give you a heads-up: don't be so arrogant just because you're in this skin, understand?"
"Yes, yes, big brother, I know I was wrong, I'll never do it again!"
Half an hour later, Section Chief Liu was brought back and dumped on the side of the road in his own residential area.
After crawling out of the sack, Section Chief Liu looked around but didn't see a soul. He patted his chest, relieved to be so close to safety.
Section Chief Liu wasn't stupid; he quickly realized that the person who attacked him must be connected to the soap factory in Mang Village.
Section Chief Liu was secretly a little scared, not expecting the other party to be so ruthless.
After smoking several cigarettes downstairs, Section Chief Liu straightened his clothes before going upstairs.
As for calling the police?
What a joke! He didn't even see the other person's face, what would he call the police for?
"Why are you back so late?" As soon as she got home, his wife, who had been looking haggard, questioned him.
Section Chief Liu, seething with anger, said, "Do you think I wanted this? The bureau held an emergency meeting today, and something terrible almost happened. Director Xiao was even pelted with rotten eggs. I just stepped out, and someone put a sack over my head and almost threw me into the river to feed the fish!"
His wife didn't care at all, saying, "Serves you right! Who told you to do such despicable things? Hurry up and wash, the son is asleep, it's time for your 'labor' tonight!"
Section Chief Liu looked at his wife with disgust and said, "Are you crazy? I'm not in the mood for that."
"Hey Liu, I'm warning you, I don't care what you do outside, you can't miss a single penny of your weekly dues. I'm going to squeeze you dry and see how you mess around outside then!"
"You're insane! I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to marry a tigress like you!"
Although he was cursing in his heart, Section Chief Liu gritted his teeth and went into the bathroom.
The next morning, firefighters arrived in Mang Village and tore off the seals that had been placed on the factory for rectification. The head of the department, Section Chief Liu, sincerely apologized, saying that it was a mistake on their part last time.
The factory resumed production, and Mang Village was filled with jubilation.
Meanwhile, in the office of the construction group.
Uncle Tai, his face grim, pointed at Gao Qiqiang's nose and scolded, "What kind of work have you done? I sent you to deal with the people who wrecked our place, but you didn't catch them, and instead, one of your own men got arrested and we had to pay compensation. You've completely disgraced me, Chen Tai, in the underworld!"
Gao Qiqiang, having learned his lesson, began to complain: "Dad, you can't blame me for this. I just joined the construction group, and I had no money, no people, and no business. I could only ask my old brothers from the old factory street for help. They meant well, but they just weren't capable enough and messed things up."
Indeed, ever since he became Chen Tai's godfather, he hasn't received any benefits. Chen Tai didn't give him the Bai Jinhan that he promised. Instead, he had to ask someone to do something for him, and Tang Xiaohu even lost a lot of money.
Chen Tai hummed in agreement, then stared at Gao Qiqiang and said, "From what you're saying, are you blaming me for not buying Bai Jinhan for you?"
Gao Qiqiang chuckled and said, "Dad, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that continuing to fight with Tang Ping like this would only result in mutual destruction, which isn't worth it. Look, recently a guy called Tiger has risen up in Jianggan District, making a big splash and snatching a lot of our projects. Moreover, they're also getting into the sand pit business. The pie in Jinghai is only so big; if we keep fighting, it'll only benefit others."
"Jiang Hu, right? I know this guy. He used to be a small-time hoodlum who started out as a street vendor."
Uncle Tai didn't care at all. Just as he was about to speak, the phone on his desk rang.
