Chapter 31: Mysterious Investment Shocks Chairman Yang

Director Tang’s eyes were like deep wells, dark with hidden danger. He sneered, “Interesting timing. Why speak up now, just as things are brewing online? Chairman Yang, aren’t you being a bit too clever with your calculations?”

“What’s this got to do with me? If it’s a PR issue, talk to them, not me,” the big toad played dumb.

Director Tang took a deep breath. “Cleaning up problematic artists? I hope the company follows through on its statement and truly weeds out those parasites!”

Chairman Yang smiled smugly, exuding an air of arrogance. “Brother Tang, you’re still naive. In this world, the loudest voice doesn’t always win. Besides, Yan Yueqing has an illegitimate child! Helping her is asking for trouble. We’re all shareholders here, all looking out for the company’s interests, right? Now that Yan Yueqing has angered the public, dealing with her swiftly will earn us some goodwill.”

“Is that so?” Director Tang understood. “So you’re quite determined to deal with Yan Yueqing?”

Chairman Yang spoke firmly, “Such a problematic artist can’t be saved, even if the emperor himself came! The company must act!”

His words were resolute.

Tang felt like laughing. “Fine, then let’s each do our best.”

With that, he left the conference room, his face cold.

Talking to these people was a waste of time!

Since reasoning failed, he’d have to resort to legal means. Director Tang pulled out his phone and dialed a lawyer.

Chairman Yang, having successfully driven Director Tang away, felt pleased. Several minor shareholders began flattering him.

“Chairman Yang, you’re really sharp!”

“Director Tang was momentarily fooled. Someone like Yan Yueqing isn’t worth defending!”

“Manman’s Weibo followers are nearly a million! How can Yan Yueqing compare?”

“Chairman Yang has a keen eye! Purging the company of problematic artists is a masterstroke!”

They fawned over him, their praises soaring to the skies.

Only Jiang Feng watched the scene and sighed silently.

“Bang!” The conference room door burst open, and Xiao Ya from finance rushed in, looking flustered.

Chairman Yang, interrupted from his moment of pride, frowned. “What now?”

Xiao Ya, sweating profusely, stammered, “Chairman Yang, a large sum just appeared in the company account…”

“A large sum?” Chairman Yang mocked. “Come on, Old Xiao, you handle millions daily. What amount could possibly rattle you?”

“Two hundred million!”

Chairman Yang frowned. “Just two hundred million and you’re—”

“But it’s from the Jun family!” Xiao Ya gulped, struggling to keep his voice steady.

“The Jun family? Which Jun family?”

Xiao Ya, Zhongxing’s seasoned finance supervisor, had seen plenty of big deals. For him to be this scared…

Jiang Feng suddenly realized something and blurted out, “It can’t be the one from the Beijing circle, can it?”

Beijing circle?

The room fell eerily silent.

Chairman Yang’s breathing quickened. “Jun… Jun Li?”

Xiao Ya nodded heavily. “It’s that big shot! I’ve already called to confirm.”

Chairman Yang was momentarily stunned, then delighted. “Great! This is wonderful! The Jun family has no interests in the entertainment industry! This sudden investment must mean they see our potential! It’s incredible news!”

Jiang Feng, noticing Xiao’s hesitant expression, sensed something was off. “Old Xiao, what did the Jun family say exactly?”

“They only said four words…” Xiao Ya glanced at Chairman Yang, his face paling. “Promote Yan Yueqing.”

Chairman Yang’s pupils contracted in shock.
