Chapter 209: Something Big Happened!
The beautiful young woman raised her willow-leaf eyebrows and "advised" Boss Lu in the tone of someone who had been through it.
"Little Lu, it's not that Sister Yue is criticizing you, but you art film directors still can't put all your focus on your own one-third of an acre of land; you also have to lift your heads more and open your eyes to see the world outside!"
"Teacher Qiao kindly introduced the resources of *Xinjing News* and Blog Network to you, and you can't just be indifferent like this, right?"
Xu Yue walked over in high heels, clack-clack-clack, and took the Wuliangye to fill his three-tael wine dispenser.
"Come, Little Lu, you hold the pot, and I will take you to toast Teacher Qiao."
Zhang Xin stared at this liaison director who looked like a fox spirit with an unkind expression. If it weren't for the daughter-in-law of the old leader, she really wouldn't want to bring her out to socialize and help her accumulate qualifications.
Anyway, Lu Kuan was also a new member just developed by the organization; could she just bully people like this?
She was also jealous of Blog Network, but she could never do such blatant fence-sitting like Xu Yue.
Qiao Sheng sat opposite the table, grinning and refusing repeatedly: "No need, no need! In the future, we will all be comrades in the same trench. Little Lu is still young; everyone just helps each other!"
Saying this, he picked up his small wine glass, without any intention of yielding.
Xu Yue saw that Boss Lu was still sitting still and just wanted to borrow the advantage of being a female comrade to pull his arm when she saw the phone on the table ring.
The screen showed a person's name.
Blog Network Wang Xing.
Xu Yue was stunned for a moment, not knowing if the alcohol degree tonight was too high, making her eyes dazzled.
This Blog Network Wang Xing...
How could it appear on Lu Kuan's phone? Shouldn't it appear on the phone of Teacher Qiao opposite?
Qiao Sheng's expression also turned cold, and just as he was about to rudely mock him, he saw the young man opposite connect the call calmly.
"Hmm?"
"Boss Lu, something happened. A video about... has spread on Blog Network."
"Wait a moment!"
Boss Lu covered the microphone and stood up: "Chairman Zhang, and Teacher Qiao, Director Xu, I'll go out to answer a call."
Generally speaking, if it weren't for an emergency, Zhuang Xu and Wang Xing wouldn't find him. Blog Network's shares were all held by Zhuang Xu on his behalf, and on the surface, he kept a distance from the company.
Seeing Lu Kuan walk out the door, Xu Yue was still standing there, muttering to herself.
"Wang... Xing, Blog Network..."
Qiao Sheng frowned: "Xu Yue? What do you mean?"
Zhang Xin had just wanted to come up to dissuade Xu Yue and also saw the phone screen clearly.
"Teacher Qiao, the one who just called Director Lu was Wang Xing from Blog Network."
Seeing that he was about to ask again, she added: "It's the Wang Xing you just talked about."
Qiao Sheng put down the wine glass in his hand in embarrassment and slowly sat on the chair, motionless.
No one at the table was a fool.
A vice president of Blog Network took the initiative to call Lu Kuan, and the latter just said "Hmm?" when he picked up the phone, and there was no dissatisfaction on the other side of the phone.
Did this kind of status judgment need to be said more?
Qiao Sheng was okay; a professor at the Communication University of China, just doing his own research was enough; offending Lu Kuan didn't matter.
Xu Yue was really regretting her bowels!
If Lu Kuan said a few words about her in front of Wang Xing, wouldn't her husband tear her apart!
And the two parents-in-law with evil faces...
The beautiful young woman suddenly felt a bit guilty and touched her lower back, where the bruise left by her husband last night was; she almost burst into tears.
Lu Kuan pushed the door in less than two minutes.
"Three of you, I'm really sorry, there are some things to deal with. The bill has been settled; let's meet again next time!"
Xu Yue hurriedly grabbed his arm: "Director Lu! Director Lu, I just..."
Boss Lu was naturally "magnanimous": "Oh, Wang Xing, right? Wang Xing is a friend of mine, but we aren't very familiar; we only see each other two or three times a year in total."
"Director Xu, don't think too much. You guys continue, continue."
It was indeed only two or three times a year: once for the annual work arrangement meeting, once for reporting to Boss Lu in the middle of the year, and once for the year-end summary meeting.
Exactly three times.
He didn't pay attention to the stunned and awkward eyes of the three as they saw him off. Blog Network had indeed encountered something.
And this time the matter was too big. Zhuang Xu had already personally gone to the internet supervision department to explain the situation, so Wang Xing notified him.
Someone had uploaded an indescribable pornographic video to the homepage of a certain account on Blog Network through a proxy.
The video was uploaded by more than a dozen small accounts on Blog Network, and the blog posts all took normal titles. The audit didn't notice it for a while, and by the time it was truly discovered, it was too late.
This was the aftermath of the Liu Zeyu incident.
But the historical process of this life was triggered in advance because of the butterfly wings of Lu Kuan, Liu Yifei, and others, which caught Boss Lu off guard.
Why did this damn thing have to be posted on Blog Network!
If it weren't for the fact that Blog Network had been an effective tool for maintaining stability and refuting rumors for the authorities since the Boiling Point, I'm afraid it would have been ordered to shut down and rectify by now.
Just like Wang Xing's Fanfou in the future, which was the predecessor of Weibo, it was stillborn because of compliance issues in the audit.
To put it lightly, it was just unintentionally allowing the spread of vulgar videos; to put it heavily...
Boss Lu asked A-Fei to drive back to the company and called Wang Xing and Zhuang Xu, who had just returned from the internet supervision department, to discuss matters.
At the same time, in a mansion somewhere in Beiping, it was chaotic and brightly lit.
"Dad! What exactly happened! Why are you letting us leave now?"
Liu's mother was already crying uncontrollably, supported by her son, no longer possessing her former grace.
"Old Liu, I don't care about you playing outside, and I can't control it, but why did you make it so big this time!"
The veins on Liu Zeyu's forehead jumped. His father had little leisure time since he was a child, and he had always been dependent on his mother. How could he bear to see his mother so heartbroken?
Old Liu was quite calm, as if his heart was dead, and suddenly looked back: "Ask your son what good things he has done."
"Me? Dad, what do you mean? How is it related to me again?"
Old Liu slapped the table violently, splashing tea everywhere.
"What do you mean?"
"Playing with female stars is fine, but why did you have to go against that Lu Kuan? Why did you have to play with his woman?"
"Do you know his background? Do you know how much weight he has? And you just bumped into it like a fool!"
This person naturally received the news at the first moment. With his position, it was not difficult to find out the relationship between Lu Kuan and Blog Network.
It was just that this time it was indeed Boss Lu taking the blame for others. Even if he wanted to hit Liu Zeyu again, he wouldn't use this kind of "seven-injury fist."
Old Liu, who used to be high-spirited, was listless as he tidied up his remaining few strands of hair, and instead had the leisure to sit down at the tea table.
"Old Liu? Is there really no way?"
Answering her was a helpless sigh.
He sighed heavily; how could he bear to see this tragic scene of a broken family?
"Shuxia, take the child and go. This money is enough for you to live abroad."
Old Liu's personal secretary pushed the door in anxiously.
"Madam, hurry! The latest flight has been contacted."
Seeing that her husband had made up his mind, Fan Shuxia was quite decisive as a mother, pulling her son and leaving.
The personal secretary bowed to the leader for the last time and also turned and walked out.
Fan Shuxia put the luggage into the car, and Liu Zeyu pulled the secretary aside with a gloomy face.
"Brother Gao, what exactly is going on?"
Secretary Gao knew the gloomy nature of this young "Yanei" and estimated that he wouldn't be able to tell him the truth today.
"An indecent video of your father spread on Blog Network, and the leader suspects that the person behind it is Lu..."
"Fuck!"
Liu Zeyu slapped the hood of the car heavily, turned around, and ran back to the villa to drive out his other car.
Fan Shuxia was scared out of her wits, not knowing what kind of trouble this playboy son was going to make again.
"Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu! Where are you going? We have to fly soon!"
Liu Zeyu still maintained some patience for his mother and smiled forcefully: "Mom, I'll be back soon. I'll meet you directly at the airport. Soon!"
Before the words fell, he drove away like lightning and took out his phone in the car.
"Cheng Jingfei, it's me. Listen to me now!"
"Aren't you being chased by the bank for debt repayment now? I gave you 10 million when I bought the shares of Red Star Dock last time, and we signed a contract for 30 million."
"You agree to one condition for me now: help me make an appointment with Liu Yifei to your house! I will transfer the remaining 20 million to you!"
Cheng Jingfei on the other end of the phone didn't understand, but the figure of 20 million woke him up.
Now, let alone 20 million, even if it were 200,000, he would have to beg his grandfather and grandmother to scrape it together.
I don't know what Cheng Jingfei said on the other end of the phone, but the young Yanei slapped the steering wheel angrily, and the harsh horn sounded irregularly, startling the wild birds on the side of the road.
"Fine! Count on you having guts. I'll have someone transfer 5 million to your account now. If I don't see Liu Yifei at your villa later, I will definitely make you die without knowing how you died!"
Speed of life and death, the young Yanei's adrenaline soared, and the past events floated by like smoke, only feeling that his mind was clear and his thinking was orderly at this time.
He thought for a while and dialed another phone: "Brother Lei, it's me, Zeyu."
"Do a brother a favor; help me find a photographer. I'll give you the address later."
On the other end of the phone was the team-building of the Da-Jun and Xiao-Lei brothers and the company's artists, and the sound was a bit noisy and unclear.
Wang Xiaolei said "wait a moment" and took the phone to the corridor outside.
"Photographer? What for, Zeyu? Taking portraits for yourself, or filming a bed scene? Haha."
He hadn't received the news yet, so he didn't know that this person was already planning to run away, and he teased him like the fox friends and dog friends of the past.
"Don't worry about it, just help. Brother remembers your kindness."
Saying this, he gritted his teeth and sent a ruthless sentence: "This time I must make that bitch Liu Yifei look good!"
You like posting videos, right? You like promoting her as the female lead, right?
Fine, I will destroy your most precious thing now!
In the same way!
What I, Liu Zeyu, can't get, even if it's broken or cracked, I won't give it to others!
Anyway, I'm already prepared to run away, so I don't need to consider the consequences of impulsive crime.
Wang Xiaolei was stunned and blurted out: "Zeyu? What Liu Yifei? Hello?"
"So fucking strange, like a lunatic."
A line of address popped out on the phone, and Wang Xiaolei thought for a while and dialed another phone helplessly.
"Old Zhang, you take a photographer to go on an outside job. I'll tell you the address. Go to the Rui Cheng Center at Liangma Bridge. Someone will wait for you at the door when you get there."
"Go now. Hurry up. Hmm, that's it."
Wang Xiaolei walked into the bathroom with his hands in his pockets, just in time to see Fan Bingbing walking out, wiping the water off her hands.
"Hey! Bingbing, watch where you're walking; you scared me."
Fan Bingbing giggled: "Boss Wang, are you thinking of some little girl in your heart again? Distracted!"
"Nonsense, isn't my heart thinking about you company artists every day! Especially you, Bingbing!"
Thinking of what little girl, tonight I'm playing with a young man, okay.
"Cut, hypocritical!"
Fan Bingbing gave him a white look and paced out, her expression turning gloomy at the corner.
She heard everything from the previous call.
Liangma Bridge Rui Cheng Family, photographer, Liu Yifei.
What does it mean?
She walked further away, looked around, and seeing no one, made a call to Lu Kuan.
"Hello? Dead man, you didn't even look for me when you returned to the country?"
Boss Lu awkwardly covered the microphone and walked into the corridor. Zhuang Xu and Wang Xing looked at each other silently, tacitly.
"What's wrong? I'm busy here."
Actually, the matter was almost resolved. The videos circulating on the internet were quickly cleared, and related keywords and rumors would be filtered and banned in large quantities in a short time.
It was just inevitable that they would be reprimanded and fined by the relevant departments to establish rules.
Bingbing thought for a while and tested: "Lu Kuan, have you and Wang Xiaolei and the others become enemies again recently?"
"No, I was chatting happily with his brother at the symposium a few days ago. What's wrong? Are they making things difficult for you?"
"Oh! No, no, I'm fine. Just asking. Are you going to Huabin Golf tonight?"
Boss Lu looked at his watch: "Why are you so horny, Bingbing? You're not even thirty yet."
"Go to hell! The company is having team-building today, and a bunch of people are drinking heavily. I'm going over now. You hurry up."
At the end, she added in a coquettish voice: "I miss your golden cudgel~"
Holy shit, the temptation from a top-tier mature woman. Boss Lu hadn't indulged for a few days either. He said a word to the two people and immediately asked A-Fei to drive to the villa.
If the story tonight were filmed as a short film, Director Lu Kuan should use the parallel montage technique in *Kill Bill* that he suggested to Quentin.
The so-called parallel montage is four villas divided equally, appearing on the screen at the same time.
In Lu Kuan's Huabin Golf villa, Fan Bingbing arrived before Lu Kuan. She put water and petals in the bath and lit incense, looking forward to enduring his sweet impact;
In the cadre villa of the Liu family, it was brightly lit. Old Liu drank tea cup after cup and was soon invited away by the organization for questioning; his wife and son had already disappeared;
In Cheng Jingfei's Rui Cheng Garden villa at Liangma Bridge, Liu Zeyu had just driven to the door, and the frustrated real estate businessman hesitated to call his goddaughter;
And Liu Xiaoli and her daughter were in the villa in Changping, watching the second round of *Chinese Paladin* while packing their luggage to return to the Canadian set tomorrow.
Liu Yifei's phone rang several times.
Liu Xiaoli walked over and saw it was Cheng Jingfei.
"Xixi, why don't you answer?"
"I don't want to answer, Mom. I don't know what to say to him."
Recalling the scene where he and Lu Kuan quarreled in the Red Star Dock conference room that day, that was a deep scar in her heart that she couldn't let go of.
One was Wang Yun, one was Dong Zhuo.
Then what was she? And what did they treat her as?
She didn't want to think about it, to recall those bad things.
Liu Xiaoli sighed, not having figured out how to enlighten her daughter, when her own phone also rang.
She answered helplessly: "Hello? Jingfei, we haven't been in touch for a long time."
"Xiaoli, is Xixi okay?"
Liu Xiaoli covered the microphone and walked further away.
"She's fine, just filming is a bit hard recently."
Cheng Jingfei felt his throat go dry: "Hehe, I saw it. She is now the female lead of a Hollywood film. Congratulations, Xiaoli; your wish has come true."
"Hey, why talk about this? Jingfei, you called to..."
"I'm flying to Australia tomorrow. You also know my current situation; I have to go."
"Once I go, maybe I won't be able to come back in this life, so..."
"I want to see you again, have a meal together, and consider it fulfilling this fate."
These words were full of sorrow, making Liu Xiaoli sigh endlessly.
Fairly speaking, he had taken care of her and her daughter quite a bit before this incident. The role in the first *The Story of a Noble Family* was won by his connections and social relations.
However, she also borrowed 5 million from him to pay off debts, and she didn't intend to ask for this money back.
Grudges and grievances, rights and wrongs, how could it be so easy to explain clearly.
"I'll ask Xixi for her opinion? I'll send you a message later."
This was not an excuse; Liu Xiaoli was indeed becoming less and less able to make decisions for her daughter.
The storms of the past six months seemed to have made her grow up overnight, becoming increasingly independent, intellectual, and gradually having her own ideas.
The little girl sighed faintly. She asked herself that she couldn't be as absolutely calculating and cold-hearted as Lu Kuan; after all, this was someone who had helped her.
She picked up her winter clothes to wrap herself, her pretty face showing no expression, and took the phone from Liu Xiaoli's hand.
"Hello, Godfather, it's Xixi."
"I brought something for you from abroad. Mom and I will come to see you later."
