I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

Chapter 163 The truth is revealed one by one
After two months of hard work, "Shaolin Soccer" co-produced by Yang Chen and Zhou Xingxing was finally completed, and it was officially announced that it will be released on May 1st.

These days, Zhou Xingxing has been taking the main creative team everywhere to promote the event, and they happened to come to Jiangcheng today.

As the largest investor, Yang Chen naturally wanted to reward everyone. In the evening, he hosted a banquet at the Binjiang Hotel to entertain the main creative staff.

Zhou Xingxing said happily: "Director Yang, I want to toast you with a glass of wine. I really like this script. With the coordination of Director Yang, the filming process was smooth sailing. I have been in this industry for so many years, and this is the first time I am so happy at work. I toast you with this glass of wine, and I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate again."

Yang Chen smiled and picked up the wine glass, and drank it with Zhou Xingxing. Zhou Xingxing quickly picked up the bottle and poured wine for Yang Chen himself.

"Thank you, thank you. Director Zhou's talent is obvious to all, and I think we can continue to cooperate. I can also tailor a few scripts for you, which will not only guarantee a good box office, but also establish your historical position in the history of Dragon Country cinema." Yang Chen said with a smile.

Zhou Xingxing was very happy and quickly said, "Thank you, Mr. Yang. I'm not very good at socializing, so I won't say anything. Everything depends on this glass of wine."

Zhou Xingxing poured himself a full glass of wine and then drank it all in one gulp.

“Haha… Director Zhou is too polite. I see that you are very sociable.” Yang Chen said with a smile.

"Haha..." The whole audience laughed.

Yang Chen continued, "Director Zhou will sign a cooperation agreement with our company later, and we will work together to shoot 5 movies. I need to use Director Zhou's fame and status to help our company improve its status."

"No, no, no, Mr. Yang is right. It's me who is trying to climb above your level. You've raised my status. I'll just listen to Mr. Yang and we'll sign a contract for five movies," said Zhou Xingxing.

Yang Chen wants Sihai Entertainment to go public, so he needs to sign more celebrities and famous directors so that he can reasonably raise the market value.

After the dinner, everyone else went back to their hotels.

Zhao Liying invited Yang Chen to her home as a guest, and Yang Chen followed her.

As luck would have it, there were paparazzi lurking in the underground parking lot of Zhao Liying's house today, and they just happened to capture the scene of Yang Chen and Zhao Liying returning together.

Yang Chen stayed at Zhao Liying's house for more than an hour before leaving, and was photographed by the paparazzi again.

Zhao Liying had just finished taking a shower and was getting ready for bed when paparazzi captain Chen Zhuo called her.

"Hello, Ms. Zhao, I am Chen Zhuo." Chen Zhuo said with a smile.

As the most famous paparazzi in Dragon Country, Chen Zhuo has a very impressive record. Many celebrities have become notorious after their dark secrets were exposed by him.

When Zhao Liying heard Chen Zhuo's name, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Why are you calling me?" Zhao Liying asked.

Chen Zhuo smiled and said, "My colleague accidentally took a picture of Ms. Zhao and Sihai Chairman Yang Chen going home together while wandering around. Yang Chen stayed at your house for more than an hour before leaving. My colleague wants to expose it, but I think we should ask Ms. Zhao what she means. Does she want us to expose it, or do you want us to hand the things over to you?"

Zhao Liying immediately said angrily: "People like you deserve to die. You secretly take photos of other people's privacy every day and do all kinds of sneaky and shady things."

Chen Zhuo laughed and said, "Ms. Zhao, don't be so excited. If you don't want to talk, I will send it out directly. We will not spread rumors, but only expose the truth. You are a celebrity artist, and the law assumes that you need to sacrifice some personal privacy. You don't have to blame me, let alone scare me. Since I am in this industry, I know everything and can handle everything. I suggest you go back. After all, you signed with Sihai Entertainment right after your divorce, and now you are joining the team with your boss. The public doesn't know whether you were in a relationship with your boss during your marriage or after your divorce. Don't you agree?"

Competitors are always looking for materials to discredit Zhao Liying. If this news is really exposed, it will definitely be used by competitors to severely discredit her for having an affair with Yang Chen while married, which is why she abandoned her husband and children.

It doesn't matter what the truth is, as long as the public believes this statement, it is enough to ensure that Zhao Liying's star path will be dim and she will go downhill from then on.

"How much do you want?" Zhao Liying asked.

Chen Zhuo laughed and said, "Ms. Zhao, don't talk nonsense. I don't want money. If you want your things back, let's arrange a time and place to meet and talk in person."

As a professional paparazzi, Chen Zhuo certainly knew that he could not ask for money, because if he took the initiative to ask for money, it would be extortion, which is illegal. If Zhao Liying took the initiative to give it, then there would be no problem.

Zhao Liying thought about it for a while and said, "I'll think about it. I'll contact you when I'm done."

Zhao Liying hung up the phone and quickly called Yang Chen to explain the situation.

Yang Chen smiled and comforted: "Don't be afraid, just expose it. I will give you resources, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid of losing my job, but I'm afraid of ruining my reputation and yours. If someone uses ulterior motives to discredit me and accuse me of having an affair with you while married, and then abandons my husband and children, divorces me and joins your company, our reputations will be ruined," said Zhao Liying.

"It's okay, I don't care." Yang Chen said.

Zhao Liying was silent for a few seconds, then said: "Since Director Yang doesn't care, then I don't care either. Let him be exposed, and don't be threatened by him."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "That's right."

Zhao Liying hung up the phone and quickly called Chen Zhuo.

"I've thought about it and decided that you should expose yourself. It will just increase my popularity. Thank you." Zhao Liying said with a smile and hung up the phone immediately.

Chen Zhuo said angrily: "She thought I didn't dare to expose it? Brothers, get to work and send her to the hot search!"

Chen Zhuo's colleagues immediately edited and produced the videos and photos, and released them as soon as daybreak.

One is Yang Chen, the currently popular chairman of Sihai Group, and the other is Zhao Liying, a top domestic actress. Their gossip instantly attracted the attention of the entire network.

"Damn it! Boss Yang is going too far. Everyone is criticizing Sihai Eye Drops, but he still has the mood to flirt with female celebrities?"

"Did Zhao Liying get together with Boss Yang while still married, which led to the divorce? Or did she get together with Boss Yang after the divorce?"

"Liying is so disappointing. She must have cheated on her husband and abandoned her children. There is no doubt about it. Yang Chen is also a scumbag. He hooked up with a married woman. He is really morally corrupt."

“Did you see that? Rich people are all the same. So many people were kneeling down to lick Yang Chen before, but now they are all embarrassed, aren’t they? The greatest sorrow of the poor is that they think there are good people among the rich.”

……

Zhao Liying felt very bad when she read the comments online. Although she had expected this, she still couldn't help feeling upset when she saw those abusive remarks.

Zhao Liying called Yang Chen and said, "Director Yang, the situation is a little pessimistic..."

Yang Chen smiled and said: "The situation is very optimistic, this is the right way to develop. Just wait and see, the government will not allow anyone to discredit a celebrity entrepreneur, and the creditors will not agree to anyone discrediting debtors who work hard to make money and repay their debts. Just wait and see, if Chen Zhuo is not sent to prison this time, I will think that his background is too strong."

"Haha... I understand. You deliberately let him be exposed to cause a bad influence, and then someone will take action to punish him in order to protect your reputation. Right?" Zhao Liying said with a smile.

Yang Chen smiled and replied: "Hey, that's the truth. Whoever comes after me, I don't need to worry about it myself, there are plenty of people who will help me worry about it. Just calm down and work hard, this matter will soon have a result."

"I see! The boss is awesome! Haha... I'm hanging up now." Zhao Liying said happily.

What Yang Chen said was absolutely correct. The Jiangcheng City Government would not allow anyone to discredit a celebrity entrepreneur.

As soon as Wang Wenkang arrived at the office, he heard his secretary report the online public opinion, and he quickly called Yang Chen.

"Hey, Mr. Yang, what's the matter with what's going on online about you and Zhao Liying?" Wang Wenkang asked.

Yang Chen explained to Wang Wenkang in detail how Zhao Liying joined Sihai Entertainment, as well as his relationship with Zhao Liying, and the fact that Chen Zhuo called to subtly blackmail Zhao Liying.

Wang Wenkang was furious after hearing this and said, "Damn it, Dragon Country's laws can't restrain him, right? Don't say anything for now, I'll handle it."

"Okay! Can I make a request?" Yang Chen asked. Wang Wenkang smiled and said, "What request? Tell me."

“This kind of person who specializes in secretly filming and blackmailing others has been at large, which is a blasphemy against the law. Taking advantage of this opportunity, either send him to jail or have him completely banned. I don’t know who his boss behind the scenes is, you guys can decide for yourself.” Yang Chen said.

Chen Zhuo was able to blackmail so many celebrities and ruin so many celebrities, yet he is still alive and well. This shows that there must be a very powerful boss behind him, otherwise those entertainment company bosses would have killed him long ago.

Wang Wenkang said, "Well, let me figure it out first. If he can be sent in, then send him in. If he can't be sent in, then ban him."

"Haha...Okay! Then I'll wait and see the news." Yang Chen said with a smile.

Don't doubt the power of the creditors, and don't question how much the Jiangcheng City Government values ​​Yang Chen.

Before noon, news came out from Chen Zhuo.

Chen Zhuo published a statement using his personal and company Weibo accounts, which mainly contained two points.

First, apologize to Yang Chen and Zhao Liying.

Second, dissolve the company and say goodbye to the Internet forever.

It seems that the boss behind Chen Zhuo is not simple. The result of the negotiation was just to let him say goodbye to the Internet, but did not send him to jail.

Crowds of onlookers rushed to leave comments.

"Is Boss Yang so awesome? He just banned Chen Zhuo."

"Fuck! Chen Zhuo has ruined so many celebrities before without any problems, but this time he hit a wall and his account was cancelled in an instant."

"Then the question is, what is the situation between Yang Chen and Zhao Liying? Did they get together while married, or after their divorce?"

……

Zhang Wen was very happy when he saw the news that Chen Zhuo had dissolved his company and quit the Internet, and he immediately posted a Weibo.

"Today is a good day. Let's go to Sihai City and invest in some shops."

Zhang Wen's words seemed very tactful, but in fact they were very direct.

Then, other celebrities who had been harmed by Li Zhuo posted on Weibo to celebrate Li Zhuo's withdrawal from the Internet.

Chen Sicheng: Today is indeed a good day, very suitable for going out and playing. I heard that the adventure house in Sihai City is very fun, I plan to take my children to see it, and by the way, I will also invest in a few shops in Sihai City. I hope to meet Mr. Yang. I also have the ability to direct, and I can also direct a play for him.

Lin Dan: Today the weather is nice, I don't want to play badminton, I'm going to take my family to Sihai City to have some fun. I heard there is a lot of traffic there, I'm going to invest in a few shops there. It would be great if I could run into Boss Yang, I must have a good chat with him.

Lin Xiaolu: The weather is nice today, I'm going to get my hair done. Also, I want to ask the almighty Weibo, who can help me buy a house in Sihai City Walled City? I can pay the agency fee. Also, I always think that Mr. Yang of Sihai Group is the most handsome of all the bosses, and I won't accept any rebuttal.

……

The spectators were all so happy that today would probably become the most unforgettable day in the Longguo entertainment industry.

"Haha...all the celebrities who were exposed by Li Zhuo felt like they had gotten their revenge."

"Li Zhuo made a huge mistake. Let's not talk about the relationship between Boss Yang and Zhao Liying. The key is that if he exposes it like this, it will definitely affect Boss Yang's personal image. Now he is a star entrepreneur promoted by Jiangcheng City, and there are so many creditors waiting for him to pay back. You, Li Zhuo, dare to destroy his reputation. Will those creditors agree?"

"Boss Yang has suddenly become the savior of the entertainment industry. This is something I never expected. But I have a bold guess. Is this something Boss Yang did on purpose to divert everyone's attention? The popularity of the eye drops has been suppressed."

……

Yang Chen was busy when Guo Yi, the president of Sihai Entertainment, came over.

"Mr. Yang, I have received many calls from celebrities. They are all asking about the possibility of joining our company or cooperating with our company. However, some celebrities have had their reputations ruined. What do you think we should do?" Guo Yi said.

Yang Chen replied: "Of course it's a good thing for the company to grow, you can do it yourself. As for the celebrities whose reputations have collapsed, if it's just a simple relationship issue between a man and a woman, then give them a chance. If it's because of drug-related, political stance, etc., then definitely don't give them a chance."

Guo Yi nodded and said, "I understand! In addition, you want me to contact domestic listed entertainment companies to seek acquisitions. Currently, there are two companies with the strongest intentions willing to sell. One is Huanshen Entertainment and the other is Xingmei Entertainment. You decide which one is suitable, and I will continue to discuss in depth with the other party."

Yang Chen checked the situations of Huanshen Entertainment and Xingmei Entertainment, and after comparison, he still felt that Xingmei Entertainment was more suitable.

Star Entertainment has a total share capital of 6 million shares and a current share price of 3.5 yuan. The controlling shareholder, the Liu family, holds a total of 63% of the shares, which is only 67% away from the absolute controlling line of 4%. Yang Chen only needs to acquire another 4% of the shares from the secondary market to achieve absolute controlling stake.

Yang Chen ordered: "Let's go with Xingmei Entertainment. I will first buy 4.9% of the shares at the threshold, and then acquire the 64% stake held by the Liu family. After I complete the acquisition, I will issue additional shares to myself to acquire Sihai Entertainment, and then change Xingmei Entertainment's name to Sihai Entertainment to complete the listing of Sihai Entertainment. You explain my operation ideas to the other party and let them fully cooperate. Also, you have to tell them to keep the whole process confidential."

Guo Yi nodded and replied: "Understood!"

"You have to first strengthen Sihai Entertainment's paper strength, sign more stars, and invest more in film and television dramas to increase its valuation." Yang Chen said.

Guo Yi quickly replied: "Understood! Then I will do it now and report the progress to you at any time."

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, and Guo Yi hurried back to work.

Yang Chen is about to welcome his first listed company.

Good news keeps coming.

At around 3:00 p.m., the Douyin user with the ID Golden Eyes posted a clarification video.

In the video, Liu Gang, the chief director of Golden Eye, bowed deeply to the camera, and then said: "Hello, everyone of Golden Eye, I am Liu Gang, the chief director of this program. Let me clarify one thing for you. We released a video two days ago, which tells the story of a girl who was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment after her eyes were injured after using Sihai Myopia Eye Drops. This video is fake from beginning to end. It was Wang Binchang, chairman of Aiyan Ophthalmology Group, who gave us 100 million yuan and gave it to several of our actors to shoot this fake video, with the purpose of discrediting Sihai Myopia Eye Drops. Here, I sincerely say sorry to Sihai Pharmaceutical and Mr. Yang Chen, chairman of Sihai Group, and to all the viewers and friends who need Sihai Myopia Eye Drops. I have submitted my resignation and will no longer have any relationship with Golden Eye. The 100 million yuan I received has been handed over to the company. Next, I will fully cooperate with the investigation and assume the responsibilities I should bear. This is the chat record between Wang Binchang, chairman of Aiyan Ophthalmology, and me, as well as the call recording and bank transfer record."

Not long after this video was posted, the account was banned.

Subsequently, another Douyin blogger named "My Daughter is Growing Up" who had defamed Sihai Myopia Eye Drops also posted an apology video.

The blogger and his daughter bowed deeply to apologize and told the truth of the matter. It was the Runyan Eye Drops Company that found them and filmed the video that discredited Sihai Myopia Eye Drops. They also filmed the evidence of communication between the two parties and the transfer records.

Not long after this video was posted, Douyin directly cancelled the account.

Immediately afterwards, the Haicheng police issued a case announcement.

The blogger Zhang Xiaoxu and his daughter Li Ranran, whose Douyin ID is "My Daughter is Growing Up", have spread rumors and defamed Sihai Pharmaceutical, which has caused a huge impact. They have now been taken criminal coercive measures by Haicheng police in accordance with the law.

Immediately afterwards, the River City police also issued a case announcement.

Liu Gang, the former director of Golden Eye, is suspected of taking bribes and spreading rumors to discredit Sihai Pharmaceutical, and has now been taken criminal coercive measures by the police.

Liu Jun, Zhang Juan, Liu Shuang and three others who cooperated with Liu Gang in shooting the smear video were also subject to criminal coercive measures.

The news continues.

The Beijing police issued an announcement that Wang Binchang, chairman of the Aiyan Ophthalmology Group, has been taken criminal coercive measures by the police in accordance with the law because he was suspected of spreading commercial rumors and smears, which caused adverse effects.

Seeing this news, Wu Haixu, the director of Harmony Hospital who was bribed by Wang Binchang, panicked...
