Chapter 181 Counterattack

Influencer creation

This was Lu Chiye's first visit to Shen He's company. It wasn't that he didn't want to come, but Shen He didn't like others intruding on her life. Before he was officially hired, he needed to be careful about his behavior.

Shi Shi, Shen He, Zi Jing, and Lu Chiye sat together, and Lu Chiye was talking about what he had investigated.

"Director Zhang of Shenghui has a wife named Wei Qi. She was originally an artist with Shenghui, but officially retired from the entertainment industry after marrying him before the Lunar New Year. Zuo Min is Wei Qi's friend, or you could say her lackey."

Suddenly, Shi Shi had a clue about something that had been bothering her.

She remembered that Zuo Min had targeted her after producing the album for me&me. She was well aware of the twins' predicament at the time, and if she wasn't mistaken, the previous malice had an explanation. She hadn't expected that woman to be so extreme. No, perhaps it wasn't extreme, but rather picking on the weak.

Shi Shi: "You can't have found only this much, can you? Go on."

Lu Chiye had an air of self-assurance, much like a bird courting in the animal kingdom, displaying its bright plumage.

He cleared his throat and said, "After Zuo Min was fired by Kyoto TV, she couldn't find a suitable job in the industry. After a period of silence, she went to stay with Wei Qi."

Shen He: "So, aside from their relationship based on mutual benefit, they're actually on good terms?"

Lu Chiye shook his head and analyzed, "If the two were really close, Zuo Min should have gone to Wei Qi for help the moment she lost her job. I don't know what happened, but Wei Qi suddenly changed her mind and agreed to take Zuo Min in. So Zhang Dongwei and Qi Zuo Min ended up living under one roof. Not long after..."

At this point, Lu Chiye clasped his hands together and squeezed them together twice.

A series of "slapping" sounds rang out. Shi Shi and Shen He instantly understood. Zuo Min had gotten involved with Chairman Zhang.

"When Wei Qi appeared, she was wearing thick sunglasses the whole time. My people analyzed that there was a 90% chance she had been beaten. Your live stream before the New Year was a huge hit. Although there was already a lot of capital involved, they realized the huge profits in e-commerce. Chairman Zhang took advantage of this opportunity to get involved. I don't know why he put the legal representative under Zuo Min's name."

Shi Shi frowned. "So, Zuo Min only dares to stir up trouble in the industry now that she has Chairman Zhang as her backer."

Shen He sneered, "Hmph, just a sycophant who curries favor with the powerful. So what's the situation with Chairman Zhang and Zuo Min now?"

Lu Chiye continued, "Chairman Zhang has some influence at Shenghui. Zuo Min, relying on his power, joined Shenghui and has been acting arrogantly in the company. However, Shenghui is not a monolithic entity, and other directors have many complaints about the behavior of Chairman Zhang and Zuo Min."

Zi Jing had been listening quietly, and then spoke up: "Then can we use Wei Qi to attack Zuo Min?"

Shi Shi's eyes lit up. "That's right. Regardless of whether Wei Qi was the person behind the scenes when the show was recorded at Kyoto TV, we can let them fight like dogs. Let Wei Qi and Zuo Min lose Chairman Zhang's protection. Then, they won't be able to cause any trouble."

With Lu Chiye present, it wasn't convenient to tell him the specifics. Shishi gave Shen He a wink. Shen He then led Lu Chiye away.

Central Conservatory of Music

Kan Honggang's eyes lit up instantly after listening to the song "Me and My Motherland." The melody was stirring and moving, and the lyrics were full of deep emotion; it was truly a rare masterpiece. Kan Honggang immediately realized that if this song were to be sung widely, it would surely cause a huge sensation.

It wasn't until Kong Pan finished rehearsing and saw Kan Hong waving at her that she realized the chairman had arrived sometime earlier.

"Teacher Kan." The two were old acquaintances. Kong Pan greeted him simply, and at Kan Hong's prompting, sat down opposite him.

"You and Lao Shi really raised a wonderful daughter!" His words weren't just a one-sided compliment to Shi Shi's talent; after all, her talent was undeniable, requiring no further explanation. The fact that she could write such a song was enough to demonstrate her patriotism.

Kong Pan smiled a little shyly, "You flatter me. This child just loves writing songs, and it's all thanks to her own hard work."

Kan Hong continued, "This song will definitely be performed by the Central Conservatory of Music and will be featured as a key program at the World Music Competition at the end of the month. What do you think?"

Kong Pan's eyes widened in surprise, and she said, "That's great! I'm sure Shishi would be very happy to hear that. However, this song is a new song after all, and it doesn't have a fan base in China. Will it work if we take it directly to an international competition?"

Kan Hong waved his hand, "You don't need a fan base? I think you've made a foolish mistake! Such a good work should be heard by more people. Besides, this is a great opportunity to promote patriotism. Every patriot is a fan of this song!"

Meanwhile, Shi Shi was discussing how to use Wei Qi to deal with Zuo Min. They planned to find Wei Qi first, understand her thoughts, and then find a breakthrough. Shi Shi thought they could first spread rumors about Zuo Min and Chairman Zhang through some channels to provoke Wei Qi into taking action, letting them taste the bitterness of betrayal.

After all, Mite Media's reputation had already collapsed under their attacks. But Shishi hadn't avenged the betrayal she suffered at the hands of Northern Qi, and she couldn't suppress that resentment. It would have been better if she hadn't known; now that she did, she was naturally ready to settle scores and seek revenge!

Shi Shi was discussing the specific plan with Shen He and Zi Jing when her phone rang. It was her mother, Kong Pan, calling.

"Shishi, Teacher Kan said he'll be singing 'My Motherland and I' at the World Music Competition at the end of the month!"

Shi Shi was taken aback at first, then overjoyed; this was a golden opportunity. She had agreed to represent her country in the world competition, partly to expand her national profile and partly to break into the international market. What could be more impactful than a hundred-person choir singing her patriotic songs?

Shishi can still imagine how deeply moved audiences at home and abroad will be when the lyrics, "My country and I are inseparable," are sung!

But she didn't forget the present moment. After briefly expressing her happiness to her mother, she threw herself back into the discussion of the plan.

Ever since Shishi produced the album for the twin sisters, Wei Qi has been plagued by misfortune. First, she fell out with Zuo Min. Although losing this follower made her unhappy, it wasn't unacceptable. Who would have thought that her efforts would backfire so badly! Zuo Min actually slept with Lao Zhang!

Wei Qi was furious. She had always thought Zuo Min was her loyal dog, but she never expected her to betray her. It seemed Zuo Min wasn't a dog, but an ungrateful wretch!

Just as she was burning with anger, rumors suddenly began to circulate about Zuo Min and Chairman Zhang.
