Chapter 452

Liu Laoshi paused, speaking with surprise.

"County Head Wang, why have you come?"

He then turned to introduce Su Meng.

"This is County Head Wang of Wanshan County."

County Head Wang tightly grasped Su Meng's hand, his face beaming with joy.

"I have come specifically to thank Teacher Su!"

"Oh, by the way, these two are the County Heads of neighboring Qianshan County and Baishan County."

"Teacher Su, this trip of yours has truly solved our most urgent crisis!"

Su Meng waved his hand, looking humble.

"County Head Wang is too polite. Being able to do a little something for the children is my honor."

County Head Wang said with a serious expression.

"Our cooperation with the Magic City Lecheng Group has established a preliminary framework, and we are now formulating a detailed plan."

"Please rest assured, Teacher Su, that we will ensure these funds are put to proper use."

"At that time, we will make the accounts public; the destination and purpose of every single penny will be written clearly."

"At that time, we also ask Teacher Su and the vast number of netizens to supervise us."

It was not just him; the other two County Heads were the same.

For those two, it could be said that while sitting at home, a pie fell from the sky.

They had done nothing, yet suddenly received five hundred million in charitable funds.

As soon as they heard this news, the 26 leadership teams of the two counties were stunned.

Once they understood the cause and effect of the matter, they immediately brought people to their door to express gratitude.

Previously, they had heard that this big star Su was a God of Wealth; after he did live-stream sales for several counties, they took off immediately.

Now, could it be that it was finally their turn?

"Teacher Su, on behalf of the 400,000 people of Qianshan County, I thank you. If it is convenient, why not come to our county for a visit?"

The County Head of Qianshan County also looked eager.

The County Head of Baishan County was not willing to be inferior.

"Teacher Su, the scenery in our county is excellent, especially suitable for tourism! Why not help us offer some guidance on tourism development?"

Su Meng was somewhat at a loss for words, half-laughing and half-crying.

"Everyone, everyone, I do not understand these matters. Next time there is an opportunity, I will certainly visit your honorable county."

"But right now, I really must return immediately."

Seeing that the few of them still wanted to argue, Su Meng helplessly shook his head.

"Everyone, I am not making excuses."

"Mainly because the Yangshi people are already blocking the door of Xinghai."

"If I do not return soon, they will surely fabricate stories about me putting on airs."

Yangshi? Many people present paused.

Yangshi is looking for Su Meng? What is the matter this time?

The little assistant ran over with a bouncing gait, looking completely confused.

"Brother Su, we must depart immediately and rush back to Magic City overnight."

"The company just called, saying that people from the Shuiwuzong Bureau have scheduled an appointment with you tomorrow..."

What?

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene became as silent as death.

Many people directly broke out in a cold sweat.

The Shuiwuzong Bureau is looking for Su Meng? What could it be?

If one were to ask who entertainment circle artists fear the most, the Tax Bureau would definitely rank at the top.

After all... those who understand, understand.

Moreover, it is the highest tax authority, the Shuiwuzong Bureau?

Could it be that Su Meng...

Xiao Xiao Yueyue hesitated for a moment and said with a serious face.

"Little Junior Uncle, I hope you accept re-education well and return soon!"

??? Su Meng choked, nearly dying of anger.

Is this your way of blessing me? Do you bless people like this?

After thinking for a moment, he reached out and called over the director.

"Director, when is the next episode scheduled to be recorded?"

The director wore a weeping face, tears about to spill out.

I just wanted to make a variety show; is it necessary for fate to be so fraught with misfortune?

Without Su Meng providing traffic support, will anyone still watch this show?

But if Su Meng is being watched by the tax authorities, can he even return?

"Um... Brother Su, the time for the next episode... is pending..."

Su Meng nodded and kicked Xiao Xiao Yueyue on the buttocks.

"Get back to the small theater and go tell cross-talk properly!"

"Spending every day mucking about in variety shows, you've become a variety show specialist; how dare you still claim to be a crosstalk performer?"

"For the next episode, you are not allowed to come!"

Xiao Xiao Yueyue wore a mournful expression, feeling utterly terrible.

"Little Junior Uncle, you aren't the director; just because you say I can't come, does that mean I won't come?"

"I've signed a contract; if I don't come, I have to pay a breach-of-contract penalty."

The director gritted his teeth and finally made a decision.

"Teacher Su, if the next episode can be filmed smoothly... you decide!"

"How to record, what to record, who participates—you have the final say!"

He silently added another sentence in his heart.

If you were to have your house collapse, then this show would have no next episode.

What? The director's words left several people stunned.

We've only heard that Su Meng is the Retired Emperor of Star Sea Entertainment; how has he suddenly become the Retired Emperor of the production team?

"Oh my, Director Su, long time no see!"

Xiang Zhiming approached with a face full of enthusiasm.

"For this episode, Director Su, you did an absolutely brilliant job; we truly admire you to the point of prostration!"

Su Meng waved his hand and said casually.

"Enough; since we're not outsiders, just say whatever you need to say directly."

"Hehehe." Xiang Zhiming rubbed his hands, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"I've come for a few matters; one is to report to you on the preparation for 'Dragon Kingdom's Voice'."

"Currently, all work is progressing smoothly, but regarding the contestants, some time is needed."

"According to our work schedule, the program will officially air in two months."

At that time, it will be broadcast on the Variety Channel of Channel Three of the Yang Television Network.

Su Meng nodded, not at all surprised.

For a large-scale program like this, contestants must be selected one by one; the workload is no small matter, and preparing for several months counts as little.

Yang Television launching it in two months is already very fast.

"As for the second matter..." Xiang Zhiming became even more embarrassed.

"Entrusted by the station, I have specially come to ask Director Su."

"Do you have any plans to shoot a mainstream-ideology television drama recently?"

"If you do, our Yang Television will absolutely offer strong support!"
