Chapter 29: The Sky is About to Change at Shining Star

Qiao Shuyi turned around and smiled at her, “My name is Qiao Shuyi, you can call me Qiao Qiao.”

“You’re really from the business department? Why haven’t I seen you before?” KK looked at her with some suspicion.

“I only joined Shining Star half a month ago. You’re a top streamer, it’s normal that you haven’t seen me.”

Fearing that she wouldn’t believe her, Qiao Shuyi opened her WeChat work group and showed it to her.

Seeing the familiar group chat, KK finally relaxed a little.

“What do you want to talk to me about?”

“I saw you just came out of Shanyuan，were you in the same private room with He Zhou and the others?”

Shanyuan is the restaurant where they just had dinner.

“…Yes.”

KK bit her lip, as if she had thought of something, her expression became a little unsightly.

“I saw a lot of company streamers inside, what was He Zhou doing with you?”

This time, KK didn’t answer, she lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qiao Shuyi knew she still didn’t trust her, so she said, “I’m actually Sheng Tang’s best friend. She found some problems with Shining Star and asked me to pretend to be an intern to help her investigate. You can trust me.”

“Really?” KK suddenly raised her head, her eyes faintly filled with tears.

“Of course, if you don’t believe me, I can call Sheng Tang now.”

“…I believe you.”

KK sniffed, “I actually wanted to tell Sheng Tang about these things before, but there were He Zhou’s eyes everywhere in the company, I had no chance to get close to Sheng Tang. Besides, that bastard threatened me with private photos!”

Qiao Shuyi was stunned, she subconsciously said, “How could he have…”

“He does! He has private photos of every streamer in the company! Soon after we joined, he would find all sorts of reasons to take us out drinking, get us drunk, and take those photos…”

“How dare he?!”

This is simply blatant illegal behavior!

Qiao Shuyi subconsciously glanced at Sheng Yu.

The latter’s face wasn’t good either.

“We were all dug up by He Zhou and his people, we have no background, no connections, we can only be at his mercy, and we dare not resign because we have to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages.”

“He told us it was just ordinary live streaming, as long as we worked hard, we could easily earn tens of thousands a month. It was like that for the first two months, but then it gradually changed, he not only made us do borderline live streaming, but also often took us to various dinners and drinking parties, to curry favor with those in power, whoever didn’t go, he would cut off their resources and give them to other obedient streamers…”

KK shook her head, her smile was helpless and pale, “I refused a few times, and my promotion this month has been cut almost completely.”

Qiao Shuyi suddenly realized.

No wonder she had been wondering why KK, as a top streamer, had fewer resources and promotions than other streamers, even less than some middle-level streamers.

So that’s it…

“Not only that, I found that He Zhou also tampered with the contract, causing the company’s apparent income to decrease, while most of the income actually went into his and those high-level executives’ pockets.”

The more Qiao Shuyi listened, the more shocked she became.

This He Zhou, he’s too much!

He must be sentenced to at least fifteen years…

KK told Qiao Shuyi almost everything she knew.

Qiao Shuyi also promised her that she would immediately report it to Sheng Tang, and soon, these people would be punished as they deserve.

KK thanked her with tears in her eyes, then found a place to get off the bus.

Watching her leave, Qiao Shuyi shook her head and looked away, “This He Zhou… he’s too bold.”

Almost the entire Shining Star had become his kingdom, a tool for him to amass wealth and curry favor with the powerful.

In the process, countless young and beautiful girls were sacrificed…

“I’m also responsible.” Sheng Yu suddenly said.

The man’s face was as calm as water, his eyes were dark, and his eyes were filled with suppressed emotions.

“I created Shining Star on a whim, but I didn’t care about it afterwards, which gave He Zhou the opportunity.”

Qiao Shuyi sighed, not knowing what to say.

She wanted to say “It’s not your fault.”

But she also knew in her heart that it was indeed related to Sheng Yu.

Moreover, once this matter was exposed, he, the actual controlling shareholder, and the entire Shengshi Group would be affected.

Perhaps sensing the worry and entanglement in her eyes, Sheng Yu reached out and touched her hair, “Don’t worry, I’ll deal with this matter as soon as possible and give them an explanation.”

“Okay.”

…

That night, Qiao Shuyi told Sheng Tang what she had learned from KK.

The latter was also furious, almost cursing He Zhou’s ancestors on the phone.

Collecting evidence takes time, Qiao Shuyi and Sheng Tang discussed it, and they decided to work normally first, not to alarm the snake, and wait until they collected solid evidence before giving him a fatal blow.

The next day, Qiao Shuyi got up, got ready, and went to work as usual.

Except that her car was still parked at the company, so she had to take a taxi.

The new day seemed to be the same as usual, without any changes.

But Qiao Shuyi could faintly feel a sense of danger and restlessness before a storm.

Shining Star was about to change.

That afternoon, Qiao Shuyi was sitting at her desk, revising a plan, when the sound of police sirens suddenly sounded downstairs, startling everyone in the building.

Everyone crowded to the windows to watch the excitement.

In full view of everyone, He Zhou and a group of high-level executives from Shining Star Entertainment were taken away by the police, including the head of the business department, Song Qingyi.

For a moment, the hearts of the people at Shining Star were in turmoil.

The discussion in the group never stopped, everyone was speculating about what happened, whether Shining Star was going to go bankrupt?

In this situation, Sheng Tang directly gave all employees a three-day holiday, saying that she was going to reorganize Shining Star, and they would come back to work after the reorganization was completed.

To this, everyone was both happy and worried.

They were happy because they could get paid leave for three days, but they were worried because they were afraid that the company would go bankrupt as soon as they came back, and they would face unemployment.

Qiao Shuyi comforted them: [Trust Sheng Tang, she came here specifically to reorganize Shining Star, she won’t let it go bankrupt.]

To this, everyone in the group said: [Hopefully.]
