Chapter 865: Oh No, Xu Li Is in Danger! (Begging for Flowers, Monthly Tickets, and Ratings!)

A certain official at the Radio and Television Bureau spoke up,

The entire Radio and Television system immediately sprang into action,

After driver Xiao Wang conveyed the leader's instructions, he himself opened his phone's Weibo and Douyin apps and searched the keywords.

Although he worked at the Radio and Television Bureau,

Driver Xiao Wang knew that Weibo and Douyin moved faster than any internal Radio and Television channels,

Often, regarding rumors involving artists or media companies,

The Radio and Television Bureau hadn't even had time to investigate or verify them,

Weibo and Douyin had already confirmed them with hard evidence,

And these confirmations were almost always ironclad, with no possibility of reversal,

This caused the public, while constantly consuming gossip, to seriously question the Radio and Television Bureau's credibility and competence.

As for these things,

The "180s" among the leadership weren't unaware,

But the Radio and Television system was far too complex, with leaders above leaders,

Often, a matter took a long time to go from application to review and approval, and precisely during that time, the matter would rapidly ferment on Weibo and Douyin, then be defined, condemned, and punished,

By the time Weibo and Douyin had almost already reaped the fruit, and the gossip-eaters had moved on to the next scandal,

The Radio and Television Bureau's top-level approval would finally come down,

As one junior leader helplessly complained: "The Radio and Television Bureau is damn slow—we can't even catch hot shit."

So whenever they heard whispers from the entertainment circle, knowing a scandal was brewing,

All Radio and Television staff would first open Weibo and Douyin, eat their fill of gossip, then consider whether to report it.

He opened Weibo,

Driver Xiao Wang directly tapped the trending list,

And sure enough, the top ten trending topics already included #Xiren Media Illegally Detaining and Abusing Its Artists#,

At this moment, the topic had over twenty million heat points,

And several fifth- and sixth-tier artists had directly led the outcry, hoping to use this to build up their own popularity,

He entered the topic,

Driver Xiao Wang searched and found the audio recording,

After listening carefully to the recording, his face turned slightly pale; after confirming it on Douyin, he found the clearest Douyin video, then opened it and handed it to the leader in the back seat: "Leader, this is real—the internal recording has leaked, Dong Tian has admitted the facts. Here's the Douyin video, listen…"

"Mm."

The leader responded, his face darkening instantly; he took the phone from driver Xiao Wang and replayed it,

The leader then heard the clipped audio of Tian Ai and several other artists, along with Dong Tian's voice,

Then,

The leader's face grew increasingly grim: "Xiao Wang, Xiren Media has gone too far. Go, find a way to handle this…"

"Leader…"

Xiao Wang's expression was hesitant: "Leader, for some reason, the Xiren Media incident has already spread online, so a simple internal warning or reminder won't solve anything…"

"Moreover, these injured artists all have a certain fan base, especially Tian Ai—her Weibo followers exceed ten million. The public will certainly pay close attention. If our handling fails to satisfy them, we'll only invite fire upon ourselves. So, Leader…"

"Alright, I understand."

The leader responded, slightly pulling back the curtain,

Through the car window,

He watched security personnel swiftly drive away the protesters holding banners and shouting,

Then,

The leader sighed softly and let the curtain fall,

After a while,

He spoke slowly: "Xiao Wang, over these years, for the overall development of Great Xia's film and television industry, we've indeed lowered some standards, giving too many people room to exploit. But this trend cannot be allowed to grow—such behavior must be severely punished!"

"Do this: Xiao Wang, coordinate with the bureau and have them launch a swift, thorough investigation. If these claims are confirmed and the impact is severe, we must act against Xiren Media!"

"Understood, Leader."

Driver Xiao Wang responded, then drove away from the Radio and Television Bureau gate under the guard's direction…

Seeing the Radio and Television leader's car speed away,

Team Three had completed their mission and quickly reported to Sister Li Na,

Sister Li Na then checked off Team Three's progress on the plan and smiled as she reported to Qin Feng: "Boss, Teams One, Two, and Three have all completed their tasks. Only Teams Four and Five remain—but they'll need to wait a bit longer…"

"Alright, Sister Li Na, we're not in a hurry."

Qin Feng responded calmly,

Then took Andy directly to Jianxing Company's headquarters…
