Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list-Chapter 674 - 672, begging for mercy? Is begging for mercy useful now?

"Don't ask me; I don't know. This inspection of your company is just an order from above! You better get ready. I can only help you so much! If your company can't withstand the investigation, then..."

After hanging up, Director Wang's eyes were bloodshot. "Su Li," he said, "what's the situation with the investor behind Lu Yaqing's web series?"

Su Li was startled for a moment. "What situation?"

"I remember the gossip going around the company about Lu Yaqing, saying she and that investor were in a romantic relationship?" Director Wang asked.

"They're probably not boyfriend and girlfriend," Su Li analyzed, "but perhaps they're lovers?"

"Check the company's documents. See if we can find their contact information." Director Wang was an old hand at this, well aware that to solve a problem, one often has to go directly to the source. Things had escalated to this point; his only option now was to start with the bigshot behind Lu Yaqing.

He had originally thought it would be enough just not to freeze out Lu Yaqing, to let her continue making money for the company. He would just have to be more polite to her from now on. That was something he could accept.

But given the current situation, as long as the other party pulled back their influence and stopped making things difficult for him, he was willing to compromise on any condition.

He thought back to Wen Tao's call. If he had just listened then, would any of this have happened? But life, clearly, offers no medicine for regret.

「....」

Meanwhile, at Lu Yaqing's place, she continued munching on fried chicken. After finishing a chicken wing, she sighed with satisfaction. "This is so delicious!"

Luofeng couldn't help but laugh. "Are you kidding me?"

"I haven't eaten fried chicken in over five years. I really do find it delicious," Lu Yaqing said.

Alright then. Poor kid.

But eating junk food every day... and still so skinny?

Of course, he could understand. When someone is on the verge of a mental breakdown, it's hard to gain weight. The sorrow in one's heart might lead to eating one meal, then nothing for more than a day. How could anyone gain weight under such circumstances?

"You keep eating. I'll deal with something here," Luofeng said, shaking his phone.

In the Capital City group chat, someone had just tagged him.

Li Bo Kai: Damn it, Brother Feng, did you arrange something for a young actress at a brokerage company in Shanghai? 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Luofeng: ???????

Li Bo Kai: Wen Hua just contacted me. He's helping you handle this.

Wen Tao? Wen Hua? Are they related?

Luofeng: Wen Tao from Tianyu Film and Television Company?

Li Bo Kai: That's him.

Lin Xiaoyun: I heard Wen Hua mobilized his resources. Word is he's helping you deal with a brokerage company in Shanghai.

Chen Dali: I've heard some rumors too.

Luofeng: .....

Luofeng: What's the exact situation?

Chen Dali: Don't worry, Brother Feng. Wen Hua told us voluntarily. Qin Rubing and Duanmu Yunji won't find out.

Lin Xiaoyun: HAHAHAHA, sure enough, scum men know each other well.

Luofeng: ...

Li Bo Kai: I'm envious, Brother Feng. I specifically went to check out that young actress. TSK TSK.

Luofeng: Don't be envious. I'm innocent. Do you believe me?

Li Bo Kai: I believe you.

Lin Xiaoyun: Don't listen to him, I believe you!

Luofeng: Are you guys nuts?

Chen Dali: Brother Feng, if you need help next time, just contact us directly. We can easily resolve such small matters.

Lin Xiaoyun: Yeah, Brother Feng, it's a piece of cake for us. Why bother outsiders?

Li Bo Kai: Exactly.

Luofeng: I originally contacted Wen Tao to try and resolve it through people in their circle. I didn't expect this Director Wang to be so ungrateful.

Chen Dali: Brother Feng, your thinking isn't wrong. Matters within a certain circle should be handled by people from that circle. It's best to get the answer you want with minimal fuss. If that doesn't work, then resorting to more forceful means is also reasonable.

Li Bo Kai: The CEO of that company seems a bit dull.

Lin Xiaoyun: What an idiot. How did he even become a CEO?

Lin Xiaoyun: Brother Feng, if you're not satisfied with the final result, I can continue to mess with their company until you are.

Li Bo Kai: Seconded.

Chen Dali: Let's wait and see how it goes.

Luofeng was chatting with the three brothers from Capital City when he received a call from a Shanghai number.

"Who is this?" Luofeng answered, speaking first.

"Mr. Luo, hello. This is Xiaowang from Ms. Lu Yaqing's brokerage company."

"I'm very sorry to disturb you!"

"I believe there might be some misunderstanding between us!"

Director Wang got straight to the point after connecting.

"Is this Director Wang?" Luofeng was somewhat surprised it was him.

"Since Director Wang knows my name, I won't introduce myself. As for any misunderstanding, I don't think there is one!" Luofeng continued. "The way your circle does things frankly disgusts me. I had someone contact you—I specifically went through Wen Tao to settle this quietly and minimize the fuss. And the result? Heh. Do you still think there's some misunderstanding?"

Lu Yaqing, who was nearby, froze for a moment when she heard Luofeng call the person on the phone 'Director Wang.' Is that... she guessed, the head of my brokerage company?

Director Wang, facing Luofeng's sarcasm, felt utterly helpless. Refute him? Curse at him? He didn't dare.

"I'm truly sorry, Mr. Luo. Our brokerage company has fully realized its mistake. Please give our company a chance; we will immediately terminate the contract with Ms. Lu Yaqing!" Director Wang said, offering his capitulation, before adding, "In addition, because of our work-related mistakes that caused a negative impact on Ms. Lu Yaqing, we are willing to compensate Ms. Lu Yaqing 10 million for her losses!"

Initially, he hadn't wanted to spend a penny, just release Lu Yaqing. And now? He was actually offering to pay out 10 million? Keep in mind, they were just a brokerage company, not some massive corporation that could throw around billions at the wave of a hand. That amount of money was truly significant.

But did Luofeng need the money?

"Compensation is off the table!" Luofeng hmphed. "This matter will be resolved as it should be. I only want Lu Yaqing's contract. Everything else, you handle yourself."

Luofeng's meaning was simple. Once he had Lu Yaqing's contract, he wouldn't pursue the matter further. However, various authorities were already investigating; Director Wang would have to deal with that fallout himself.

This Director Wang clearly lacked foresight. He didn't understand what Luofeng truly wanted and just threw out an offer. Ten million in compensation? Who does he think he's looking down on?

Luofeng hung up immediately after speaking.

If Director Wang still couldn't grasp the situation, then his ruin would be well-deserved.
