Chapter 881

At this moment, at the headquarters of Xiren Media Company,

in the general manager's office,

Dong Tian bent over with a smile on his face and gently handed the freshly brewed tea to the group leader on his left, a man in his fifties who was obviously somewhat overweight.

This investigation group leader surnamed Zhang had once been a data clerk under Dong Tian's father.

Because the young man was proactive and thoughtful, Dong Tian's father had greatly appreciated him and repeatedly promoted him, from a mere section clerk to a section chief.

Then, just before Dong Tian's father retired, he specifically promoted Group Leader Zhang once more, elevating him from the position of section chief to a full division director.

This was because Dong Tian's father knew that since Dong Tian had opened a media company, he could not do without the protection of the Light and Electricity Bureau.

When he himself was in office, he could directly protect Dong Tian.

But after his retirement, surely people would leave and the tea would grow cold.

However, this Group Leader Zhang held no real power and had no independent duties; he was a man Dong Tian's father had personally promoted from the bottom, and he was utterly loyal to him.

So, just before retiring,

Dong Tian's father secretly exerted his influence to promote Group Leader Zhang two more levels, and moreover, the department he managed held actual authority.

In this way, even if Dong Tian caused trouble again in the future,

Group Leader Zhang would, out of respect for his face, show leniency toward Dong Tian.

Indeed,

Dong Tian's father's move was correct.

Ever since the leaders of the Light and Electricity Bureau had severely criticized the matter concerning Xiren Media and demanded a thorough and comprehensive investigation,

Group Leader Zhang had immediately volunteered to lead the investigation team himself.

Then,

Group Leader Zhang brought group members seconded from various departments and rushed to Dong Tian's Xiren Media.

Upon seeing Xiren Media,

Group Leader Zhang superficially ordered all investigation team members to immediately collect data and evidence, handle the case impartially, and keep nothing back.

Yet Group Leader Zhang himself went to Dong Tian's office, where he sat drinking tea with Dong Tian and another old acquaintance, Manager Wang.

Watching Dong Tian carefully serve him tea,

Group Leader Zhang shook his head and smiled: "Little Tian, you still have to learn how to serve tea; your hand isn't very steady. When I used to serve tea to your father, my hand never shook. This shows, you lack confidence!"

"I'm sorry, Uncle Zhang."

Dong Tian smiled upon hearing this and then said: "It's been many years since I last saw you; I missed you so much, that's why my hand is shaking."

"Hahaha."

Group Leader Zhang smiled upon hearing this, then picked up his teacup and drained it in one gulp before saying: "Not bad, still good tea. Little Tian, I used to crave your father's tea leaves; I stole quite a few, hahaha, but your father knew and always indulged me."

"Your father indulged me so much, so naturally I cannot be hard on you. How about this, Little Tian, give me the truth: are the things that female artist said actually true?"

"This..."

Dong Tian hesitated for a moment, saw Manager Wang give him a look, and then Xinlingshen Society said: "Uncle Zhang, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, these clauses are all in the contracts I signed with Tian Ai and the other actors in the company. We did it to cultivate their acting skills, to make them truly listen, truly see, and truly experience..."

"Alright, I understand."

Group Leader Zhang nodded, then looked at Dong Tian: "Little Tian, you've learned to be bad. You can't do things like this. Sigh, besides the contract, is there anything else that can explain this?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Tian suppressed his wild joy inside and then said: "Yes, yes. Before training them, we recorded voluntary commitments; I have the videos stored."

"Hmm, then it's easy to handle."

Group Leader Zhang nodded, then said: "Little Tian, it's not that I'm taking advantage of my age, but I must say a few words to you about this matter."

"These actors are not ordinary people. Although their achievements owe much to your company, the common people only like them! No common people will like their company!"

"Therefore, a few casual words from them could very well cause a shock to your company or even the entire industry."

"So, Little Tian, you must be extremely careful in the future."

After Group Leader Zhang finished speaking, he extended his hand toward Dong Tian: "Alright, go fetch the contract first so I can see it, then we'll watch the video."

"Yes, Uncle Zhang."

Upon hearing this, Dong Tian was overjoyed, immediately opened the safe in the office, took out the contracts of Tian Ai and several other artists who had leaked information, then walked over and handed them to Group Leader Zhang with both hands.

Group Leader Zhang picked up the contract, put on his reading glasses, and carefully read page by page.

Manager Wang gave Dong Tian another look, letting Dong Tian know not to worry.

And these three people did not know

that every single one of their movements and words at that moment was being completely recorded.

At this moment, just above Dong Tian's office,

Qu Xiaoxiao listened to the extremely clear conversation in the sound wave collector, watched the safe password analyzed by the thermal imaging instrument, and smiled very happily.

Then,

Qu Xiaoxiao carefully checked the integrity of the audio file and other files.

Only then did she take out her phone and send a message to Qin Feng: "Master, everything was guessed correctly by you. The people from the Light and Electricity Bureau are old acquaintances of Dong Tian and are Xiangbanfa Gang to help Dong Tian get off the hook. Master is truly prophetic! Moreover, I have obtained the password to Dong Tian's safe!"

Seeing the message sent by Qu Xiaoxiao,

Qin Feng smiled, replied with a word of caution, and then quietly told this message to Andy.

Upon hearing this, Andy also smiled and nodded, then said: "Alright, the real battle has finally begun!"

In Dong Tian's office,

Group Leader Zhang read word by word for a long time before finally reaching the fifth page.

Originally, for such contracts, Group Leader Zhang would not have deigned to look at them at all.

183

But in order to help Dong Tian, and even more so to protect his own golden rice bowl while helping Dong Tian,

Team Leader Zhang could only carefully examine every clause and every definition in the contract,

to avoid problems arising when the contract was made public later, which would give the media or others at Guangdian a handle to exploit.

Team Leader Zhang was an old subordinate of Dong Tian's father,

and was indeed utterly loyal to Dong Tian's father,

but the premise of that loyalty was that Team Leader Zhang was still the division chief at Guangdian.

If helping Dong Tian ruined his own future,

Team Leader Zhang certainly would not do it.

After all,

Dong Tian's father had only helped him become this division chief,

yet he had worked hard, running errands and striving for it himself!

Thus,

Team Leader Zhang continued to scrutinize the contract carefully,

while Dong Tian and Manager Wang, seeing this, could only sit aside, drinking tea and waiting patiently.

But just at this moment,

someone gently knocked on the door of Dong Tian's office.

Shortly after, a middle-aged man wearing the same administrative jacket as Dong Tian walked in, approached Team Leader Zhang, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Team Leader Zhang's face immediately changed; he then looked at Dong Tian with ill will.

Seeing this, Dong Tian's heart instantly tightened, and he couldn't help but mutter inwardly: "Could it be? Could it really be that they have found something wrong?!"
