After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 467 I Will Uphold Justice
Zhou Haoran wasn't very familiar with the process of this kind of thing.

It was assumed that Song Yongjun was taken away for questioning because relevant departments wanted to find him to understand the situation after he filed a formal complaint.

Didn't take it seriously.

Dong Lan knew even less about the details. After hearing the news, she was a little gloating and whispered, "Producer Zhou, have you heard? Director Song has been asked to leave!"

"you are happy?"

Zhou Haoran was a little confused.

Dong Lan said, "He was always targeting us, but now that he's been asked to leave, our program is safe. There will be even less of a hindrance to resuming broadcasting in the future."

Zhou Haoran paused for a moment before slowly saying, "I heard that Director Song's daughter is in our program team, did you know that?"

"Huh?" Dong Lan was taken aback. "Who is it?"

Zhou Haoran said, "We're all colleagues, don't make things so tense. Don't cheer and celebrate just because you heard that Director Song was taken away; it's not a good example."

Dong Lan responded with an "Oh".

Zhou Haoran went to see Gu Hao, the executive vice president of the station.

"Haoran is here..."

When Gu Hao saw it was him, he took off his glasses and wiped them with a glasses cloth.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Director Gu, there are some latest developments I need to report to you."

"Ugh!"

Gu Hao sighed.

Zhou Haoran, puzzled, said, "The joint venture has been approved. Zhongbo Software has gained the approval of all parties and has joined in."

"Huh?" Gu Hao was taken aback for a moment, then his face lit up with surprise. "You mean this? Zhongbo Software really got involved?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Yes, the shareholding of the joint venture has been determined. Crown TV holds 48%, CSM Media Research holds 47%, and Zhongbo Software holds 5%."

"The number of shares is a bit too small..."

Gu Hao felt indignant on behalf of others.

Zhou Haoran disagreed. He believed that the number of shares was not important; what mattered was participation and a seat on the board of directors. "Zhongbo Software is a private enterprise, so its strength is somewhat lacking. With fewer shares, the investment will also be less. With a total capital of 1000 million yuan, Zhongbo Software only needs to invest 50 yuan."

Gu Hao hummed in agreement. "Yes, it's fine."

Zhou Haoran noticed his worried expression and found it strange. "Director Gu, is this...? This is a good thing. From now on, our Red Star TV station will have a representative of interests in the joint venture."

"The joint venture is going well, but..." Gu Hao sighed, "Haoran, Song Yongjun went for tea, you've heard about that, haven't you?"

Zhou Haoran's eyes widened. "Weren't we going to find out what was going on?"

Gu Hao narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "If we knew the situation, all parties would be friendly. It wouldn't be like this now, where this person seems to have vanished, and nobody knows where he went."

"Huh?" Zhou Haoran was taken aback. "You mean, something happened to Director Song?"

Gu Hao's expression turned grim. "Someone has made a move."

"No way?"

Zhou Haoran thought Song Yongjun's conduct was quite good. His wife and children were in China, and his daughter worked for the "Everyone's Art" program. He would go to Jin Baxian for a big meal, and he would even pack up the leftovers. He usually commuted to get off work by bicycle.

Was this all an act?
"This matter..."

Gu Hao didn't know how to begin.

Zhou Haoran knew that Director Gu and Director Song had a good relationship, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Director Gu, is there really no way you can do this? Don't you know anyone?"

"Me?" Gu Hao's expression was bitter. "This is beyond my reach."

Zhou Haoran asked, "Who made the move?"

"Who else could it be?" Gu Hao sneered. "However, Zhan Yushan doesn't have that much power."

Zhou Haoran asked cautiously, "Is it Master Shan?"

"Relying on him alone might not be enough."

Gu Hao shook his head.

Zhou Haoran was a little confused. His previous plans for Song Yongjun were all based on the workplace struggles within private enterprises. That combination of tactics would basically guarantee an invincible position in a private company.

However, Hongxingtai is not a private enterprise.

There are different rules and regulations here.

Gu Hao said in a deep voice, "There's a traitor!"

"what?"

Zhou Haoran immediately thought of someone.

Gu Hao said, "Song Yongjun is the channel director. It's not in line with organizational procedures for the higher-ups to want to move him like this. Unless there's one situation, which is that the station has reached a consensus on this matter."

"A consensus?" Zhou Haoran stared at him. "What about you?"

Gu Hao gave him a deep look. "The director of the entertainment channel is a relative of the old station director. I used to be the old station director's assistant, and it was the old station director who promoted me."

Zhou Haoran didn't like this outcome. "So, Director Song is finished?"

Gu Hao analyzed, "I know Song Yongjun; he won't have any personal problems. After having tea, I'm confident he'll return safely."

"But by the time he came back, it was too late..."

Zhou Haoran's expression was solemn.

Gu Hao nodded. "During this tea break, Zhan Yushan will take care of everything. When Song Yongjun returns, even if he has no problems, his reputation will be ruined. He'll only be able to take a marginal position, practically semi-retired."

Zhou Haoran tentatively asked, "Director Gu, aren't you going to think of a solution?"

"What can I do?" Gu Hao smiled bitterly. "The old station director and the current station director have reached a consensus that I can't reach them."

"I see. Director Song is really unlucky."

Zhou Haoran didn't press the matter further.

"It wasn't luck, it was a traitor."

Gu Hao's face was somber, showing a hint of melancholy, as if he were witnessing the death of a rabbit or the sorrow of a fox.

Zhou Haoran came out of Gu Hao's office.

I got a little angry.

I thought to myself, this Song Yongjun is really hopeless.

They have solid evidence, but can't do anything about it.

Others didn't have any information about him, but they still got him arrested and investigated.

This also made Zhou Haoran realize something.

This is a television station; the methods he used to navigate the treacherous waters of a major internet company in his previous life might not work here. Here, there's something even more important than concrete evidence and company interests: connections.

Back to the program team.

His workstation was right next to producer Hu Xiaochen and editor-in-chief Dong Lan, making him the "third most powerful person in the office".

There was a long silence.

"Master, how is it?"

Hu Xiaochen leaned closer; unlike the others, she was well aware of her master's plan. Zhou Haoran shook his head. "Not good."

Hu Xiaochen whispered, "You've always been on the fence, haven't you? No matter who wins or loses between Zhan Yushan and Song Yongjun, you're guaranteed to make a profit."

"That's what I said..."

Zhou Haoran can remain invincible.

But he also has his own inclinations.

Hu Xiaochen pursed her lips and said with amusement, "You're not trying to sit on the fence and procrastinate, are you?"

Zhou Haoran said irritably, "Get out of here!"

Hu Xiaochen said worriedly, "If Zhan Yushan wins, his influence will be even greater. Will our program still be able to switch to Red Star TV then?"

"can."

Zhou Haoran still has leverage; he can go to Director Shan Wendong to make an exchange and settle everyone in the "Everyone's Art" program team in a good way.

Hu Xiaochen said firmly, "No matter what, we must switch to Red Star TV. If we stay on the Lifestyle Channel, Zhan Yushan will definitely favor us. He will elevate 'Happy Family' and suppress 'Everyone's Art.' Then, the hard times will begin."

"I know."

Zhou Haoran felt he was in a difficult situation.

This time, Yi Changping has become a traitor. He has the old station director protecting him, and if he really gets involved with Zhan Yushan again, it will be difficult to deal with him in the future.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Hu Xiaochen noticed that he looked hurried.

Zhou Haoran waved his hand, "I have something to do!"

Just as I stepped out of the office, I heard a soft voice behind me: "Producer Zhou..."

"Ok?"

Zhou Haoran turned around and saw a girl who looked about twenty years old, very young and timid.

She wasn't wearing makeup.

With her hair tied in a ponytail and delicate features, she was quite pretty.

"you are?"

Zhou Haoran did not know her.

The little girl said timidly, "My name is Song Susu."

Zhou Haoran suddenly remembered that Sister He Jin had mentioned before that Director Song's daughter was named Song Susu.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Zhou Haoran's expression softened.

Song Susu's eyes reddened, and she bit her lip tightly. "Producer Zhou, my father is missing. We can't contact him at home. Do you know where he went? He said that if anything happens, I should come to you."

Judging from their ages, Zhou Haoran is actually a year or two younger than her.

But their auras are completely different.

Zhou Haoran acted like an uncle to her, saying with concern, "It's alright, I'll be back in a few days. Don't worry, just explain it to your mother when you get home, it's all for work. Just focus on your work, you don't need to worry about anything else."

With red eyes, Song Susu whispered, "Producer Zhou, come to my house."

"what?"

Zhou Haoran was stunned for a moment, wondering what this little girl meant.
Song Susu looked very delicate, her eyes filled with expectation. "Dad said that if anything happens, I should give you something. It's at my house."

"thing?"

Zhou Haoran immediately realized what it was.

"go!"

Zhou Haoran made up his mind to get involved without hesitation.

Song Susu's eyes glistened with tears.

"Wait a minute." Zhou Haoran remembered something. "Go wait at the intersection outside. I'll come pick you up in a bit."

"Oh."

Song Susu kept turning back to look at herself.

Zhou Haoran went upstairs.

They returned to Deputy Director Gu Hao's office.

"Haoran?"

Gu Hao found it strange.

After Zhou Haoran left, he closed the door, his expression grave. He went to his desk and said in a low voice, "Director Gu, Director Song must have collected a lot of materials about this matter. Do you have any here?"

Gu Hao was stunned.

Zhou Haoran pressed further, "Really?"

Gu Hao shook his head. "No."

"No?"

Zhou Haoran frowned.

Gu Hao said, "I asked him for it, but he didn't give it to me."

Here, have a copy, it'll be good to have a backup!

Zhou Haoran said with great heartache.

Gu Hao was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "These materials are like our lives; how can we give them away so easily?"

"why?"

"The unknown is the most frightening."

"Ok?"

Zhou Haoran immediately realized what was happening.

Gu Hao said, "No one knows what materials he has prepared. His materials are the most lethal. If he hands the materials over to someone else and accidentally entrusts them to the wrong person, causing the contents of the materials to be discovered, the other party can then make targeted arrangements and take follow-up actions. The evidence in the materials may become invalid, and the value of the materials will be greatly reduced."

"That's it..."

Zhou Haoran remembered Song Susu's words and suddenly felt a sense of responsibility.

Gu Hao sighed and said, "After Lao Song was asked to leave, his assistants were all talking to him one by one. Zhan Yushan and the others are looking for materials. Once they find them and handle the aftermath, he should be back."

"Director Gu, aren't you going to offer any help at all?"

Zhou Haoran glanced at him.

Gu Hao was stunned for a moment, then, recognizing the tone in his voice, asked in alarm, "What do you want to do?"

Zhou Haoran said in a deep voice, "Uphold justice!"
