"I really can't figure out who leaked the news about Telephone 2, and what's even harder to understand is how he got our contract. Didn't he change careers to become a teacher?"
"I've had people investigating since early this morning, and it's still unclear who leaked it, but it's obviously intentional. As for the contracts, we do know where they came from. Most of them probably circulated from other film and program production companies."
Feng Gan cursed upon hearing this, "Li Yong is such an idiot, so stubborn. He actually hung up on me just now. When I called back, he simply turned off his phone."
"Li Yong has accomplished nothing all these years except for scolding people. Now, he suddenly holds so much evidence against us. I strongly suspect this is all a conspiracy orchestrated by Xingchen and Wang Congcong."
Hearing this, Feng Gan's face was filled with astonishment. "You mean, the person who beat me up last night?"
"Yes, Xingchen's background is very strange. It has developed rapidly in the past six months, and the projects it invests in are all major ones. Its backing is probably not simple either."
"Mr. Wang, do you have a countermeasure?"
"We're still discussing it here. You should also return to Kyoto as soon as possible, and we can discuss countermeasures. Also, what is Fan Shuishui's attitude?"
"She didn't say much, just released a statement saying she would sue Li Yong for leaking secrets."
After Feng Gan finished speaking, Wang Jun immediately said, "Tell her to stop showing off. Tell her to handle it discreetly, don't blow things up. It's best if she just stops responding and lets things die down naturally. Don't think that just because people call her 'Boss Fan,' she's really some important figure. This isn't a scandal to flaunt."
Seeing Wang Jun actively avoiding this matter, Feng Gan was clearly unwilling: "Mr. Wang, didn't you say last night that you would get revenge for me?"
Wang Jun sighed helplessly and explained, "First thing this morning, I arranged for people to hire internet trolls to attack Xingchen's popular female celebrity, but they managed to suppress the hot search in just over ten minutes. Now, even the Social Media Platform is clearly biased towards them."
"And Wang Congcong, your sarcastic remarks on the Social Media Platform when 'Pan Jinlian' was released last time haven't been forgotten. Fortunately, this time with the movie 'prosperity,' Company didn't block our screening schedule again, or our box office would have flopped. In this situation, how do you expect me to have the face to go and argue with them?"
After Wang Jun's torrent of fierce and eloquent words, Feng Gan remained silent, despite his extremely gloomy expression.
Because he knew very well that the incident with Dawan Pictures last time was enough to give all the film investors, including them, a massive headache.
Now that things have come to this, he can only swallow his pride.
Not long after, Company and Fan Shuishui's studio quickly aligned, deciding to adopt a cold-treatment strategy for this matter, hoping the storm would subside soon.
However, how could Jiang Cheng and Wang Congcong let them have their way?
First, they arranged for various famous reporters and news agencies to interview Li Yong, giving him the opportunity to fully explain the incident and its backstory from that year.
Immediately after, they dispatched a large number of verified accounts to official platforms to publicly expose and report the yin-yang contracts and related matters.
As expected, the official platform quickly reposted Li Yong's Social Media Platform post and solemnly declared: "We will thoroughly investigate all tax situations of Fan Shuishui's studio. Once any problems are found, they will be made public."
After this official repost, Fan Shuishui finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
She, who was comfortably applying a face mask, immediately sat up, anxiously took out her phone, and called Li Yong.
But Li Yong still wouldn't budge. He cherished the hard-won evidence he now possessed.
Moreover, Li Yong had sensed that someone was helping him from behind, and he didn't care if he became a pawn.
On the contrary, because of these connections behind him, Li Yong was even calmer.
He had been bullied for so many years precisely because he had no power or influence. Now that he had this opportunity to clear his name, how could he not cherish it?
"Shuishui, how could I forget? Back when you were filming 'Movie 1,' you privately sought me out and sincerely apologized, saying you had no idea that the film would have a negative impact on me, that it would damage and distort my public image..."
"At the time, I foolishly chose to believe you, but who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, you would brazenly declare in public that you loved filming this movie. What's even more outrageous now is that you're actually going to start filming a sequel, 'Movie 2.' You're so hypocritical and two-faced, it's just extreme insincerity!"
"Brother Yong, please don't get angry yet, let me explain, okay? I couldn't help it because I had already signed the contract for this movie..."
"Fan Shuishui, I don't want to hear your deceptions anymore. It's been over ten years of deception! I ask you, do you have a clear conscience? Relying on them, your pockets got fat, and by stepping on my reputation, your fame grew too." Li Yong trembled with anger, furiously questioning the other party.
"Brother Yong, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Please give me another chance, can we find a time to sit down and talk properly? Or how about I come find you tonight?"
"Inappropriate, inappropriate. I won't expose how messy your private life is, after all, you're already engaged, so I won't mention these things. But as China's highest-paid celebrity, isn't it a bit shameless to evade taxes? Are you worthy of the countless ordinary people in China who diligently pay taxes while earning a few thousand yuan a month?"
"Brother Yong, I really handled this improperly, I..."
Fan Shuishui was completely flustered at this moment.
As Li Yong said, after years of hard work in the entertainment industry, she finally found a suitable partner for marriage during these two years of rising fame.
This person also had a Red Child background.
She was about to be whitewashed by him, so she absolutely could not have any stains on her.
Although she knew in her heart that she was a first-time offender and these things wouldn't land her in prison, Red Child's family would absolutely not allow him to marry a woman with a blemish.
Despite knowing deep down that she was only a first-time offender and these matters were not enough to land her in prison.
But the Red Child's family would absolutely not accept a flawed woman into their home.
Thinking of this, Fan Shuishui unhesitatingly bought a ticket for the next flight to Kyoto.
At this moment, she was distraught and her thoughts were a mess.
Ultimately, all this trouble was caused by Feng Gan from Company.
They were all in the same boat, and Fan Shuishui clearly realized that only by relying on this group of people again could they overcome this difficulty...
