"Yes, Team Leader."

The visitor responded, then pushed the door open and went out.

Dong Tian immediately asked cautiously, "Uncle Zhang, what's wrong? Your expression seems a bit off."

"What's wrong?"

Team Leader Zhang shook his head speechlessly, looking at Dong Tian with a mix of frustration and disappointment, and asked, "Dong Tian, be honest with me. How many of those young, pretty girls in your company have you ruined?"

"I..."

Hearing this, Dong Tian's face turned red. He hesitated, about to lie,

when President Wang, who had been silent, secretly kicked Dong Tian.

Then Dong Tian understood the hint and spoke the truth: "Uncle Zhang, this is really embarrassing. I was young and did those foolish things, but not many. Just eight or nine..."

"Just eight or nine?"

Team Leader Zhang shook his head and glared at Dong Tian: "Yes, eight or nine isn't many, but you little rascal might not know you've left evidence!"

"Just now, the investigator told me he found some videos secretly shot with a mobile phone on the receptionist girl's own computer at the company front desk. They all show those indecent things you did with her!"

"The investigator suddenly interrogated the receptionist girl on the spot. She said she was forced, so she kept the evidence. She originally wanted to record more to blackmail you, but then the matter of your company's female artists was exposed, so she didn't have time!"

"Then, that girl also said you haven't just played with one or two company girls. Just from what she's heard, there are several!"

After speaking, Team Leader Zhang looked at Dong Tian and said with frustration, "Dong Tian, you are truly too confused! Even rabbits don't eat the grass by their own burrow, yet you've eaten all the surrounding grass clean! Speak for yourself. Besides these staff members, did you lay hands on any of those actresses?!"

"Yes, two..."

Dong Tian's face turned red again, then he said embarrassedly, "But Uncle Zhang, I have never touched Tian Ai. Her personality is too fierce; she's not my type. I really, really have never touched her!"

"Alright, I know."

Team Leader Zhang nodded, then said, "It's good you didn't touch that actress. If something unclear had happened between you two, it would really be hard to handle!"

Then, Team Leader Zhang put down the contract in his hand, took off his reading glasses, pinched the acupoint between his nose bridge, and only then said, "Alright, with a contract and a video of the person involved, the problem isn't big."

"Dong Tian, I can find an excuse to help you push this aside. The State Administration of Radio and Television probably won't investigate you again, but I can't control matters in society, and I certainly can't control matters of male-female relationships."

"So, Dong Tian, regarding that receptionist girl, I advise you to spend some money to send her away. Absolutely do not try the tactics of organized crime. Do you understand?"

"Let me tell you, Great Xia is now severely punishing illegal and irregular conduct in all industries, especially with extremely strict control over organized crime. If you dare cause trouble in this area, I really won't be able to protect you."

"Here's the plan: since the higher-ups sent us down, we definitely can't go back so quickly. We'll investigate at your company for a day or two."

"Now, Great Xia strictly controls eating and drinking, and also strictly controls receiving and sending off guests, but not sending them off isn't an option either."

"Cash is hard to accept now, and direct bank transfers are impossible. How about this: I'll give you an account of the General Charity Association later. You transfer two million into this account in the name of charitable donation."

After Team Leader Zhang finished speaking, he glanced at Dong Tian,

and Dong Tian, somewhat unexpected at this moment, fell silent for a while: "..."

Seeing this, President Wang hurriedly said, "Old Zhang, two million is too little. Really, Dong Tian means that you and the brothers of the investigation team have worked hard. As a practitioner in the film and television industry, Dong Tian naturally wants to contribute more love to society. So, Dong Tian is prepared to donate five million, right, Dong Tian?"

After President Wang finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Dong Tian,

and only then did Dong Tian realize the situation. He immediately said with a full face of smiles, "Yes, yes, yes. Uncle Zhang, I know you are taking care of me, so I was surprised. But speaking of which, since you've taken such good care of me, I, as your nephew, must certainly support you. Five million, Uncle Zhang. Just five million!"

"Then, alright."

Team Leader Zhang nodded, picked up his teacup again, and then said, "Alright, Dong Tian. When you go back tonight, give my regards to my old leader. Tell him I'll visit his home when I have time. My subordinates are all busy, and I, as the Team Leader, can't just lazily take a break. Alright, I have to go out and get busy!"

"Okay, Uncle Zhang. My father mentioned you the other day, asking you to come to our home to appreciate paintings when you have time. Uncle Zhang, I won't disturb your work. I'll see you off, Uncle Zhang!"

As Dong Tian spoke, he escorted Team Leader Zhang to the door outside the conference room where the investigation team was currently located,

then returned to his own office with a face full of smiles.

But after returning to the office,

Dong Tian looked helplessly at President Wang: "President Wang, indeed, when people leave, the tea grows cold. My father helped him so much back then, yet now he asks for two million as soon as he opens his mouth. Really... Sigh!"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense!"

President Wang immediately spoke up to remind him, looked out the window to confirm no one was around, and then said, "Actually, the price he just mentioned was already a friendly price, so I added it up to five hundred for you."

"But, Dong Tian, I must explain the tricks involved here clearly to you!"

"The two hundred he mentioned is a friendly price, but it's a one-time deal. If you don't understand and only give two hundred, after this is done, if you seek his help again in the future, he won't help you with anything anymore."

"The reason I just helped you raise the price to five hundred is to turn this into a long-term matter. Five million is the standard price in our industry; it's actually not much. Once you get past this hurdle, you'll easily earn it back."

After President Wang finished speaking, he looked at Dong Tian meaningfully.

Dong Tian smiled helplessly, then said, "President Wang, since that's the case, help me to the end. Lend me a few million for emergency. There's really no money left in my company account..."

Hearing this, President Wang looked at Dong Tian speechlessly, then nodded: "Alright, I'll lend you this money, but interest must be paid. Also, this money must absolutely not be donated in the company's name; it can only be in a private name. Do you understand?"
