I, the number one master of metaphysics, have achieved legendary status in the entertainment industr

"Leaving the group is just the first step." Zhou Li crossed her legs, expressionless. "Ding Jianguo has already withdrawn resources. The real action will begin when everyone starts to kick him while he's down."

Wang Zhentao sat in a large leather chair, tapping his fingers on the table: "The methods in the entertainment industry are nothing more than the same few: blacklist his exposure, cut off his collaborations, ruin his reputation."

He looked at Zhou Li: "Give a heads-up to the media. Don't mention Lu Fan directly. Just say that the current atmosphere needs to be rectified, and that certain celebrities with bad records, especially those involved in feudal superstition hype or whose character is highly controversial, should be given special attention."

Zhou Li nodded: "It's not difficult to make a call to the major platforms and mainstream media. For the smaller ones, just give GG more screen time; they know what to do. He won't have a prominent place in the trending searches and hot topics anymore, but his scandals and controversies can 'remind' netizens from time to time."

"What about resources?" Wang Zhentao asked. "His still-developing studio, and Yu Tinglan's side. Yu Tinglan's Jiaxing Media is quite large, but it's not monolithic. I heard they're currently vying for several important nominations for the 'Star Awards' and subsequent official cooperation projects."

Zhou Li sneered: "The chairman of the Star Shine Awards judging committee has some connections with my uncle. A phone call would subtly hint that if an artist under Jiaxing Media has a complicated public image, it might affect the overall impression on the judges. Yu Tinglan is a smart woman; she knows what's important. As for the resources directly given to Lu Fan…"

Zhou Li paused for a moment and shook her neck.

She looked at Wang Zhentao: "It's time to make some moves with your old connections with directors and producers. Make a call, have some tea, mention the grievances Wang Huajian has suffered recently, and also mention that Lu Fan is 'unlucky' and brings trouble to everyone on set. Whether they believe it or not is up to them, but just keep a thorn in their side."

"Those old foxes are the most superstitious about these mystical things," Wang Zhentao chuckled. "The Ding Xingyou film crew is haunted, the lead actor is injured, and now the director is in trouble—that's enough for them to make connections. I'll make plans with Lao Zhao, Lao Chen, and a few others tomorrow."

Wang Zhentao stood up, sat down next to Zhou Li, and gently placed his hand on Zhou Li's neck, massaging it for her.

Zhou Li closed her eyes comfortably and said, "There are also partner brands. I've checked, and several FMCG and fashion brands have contacted Lu Fan before. Although they didn't sign with him, they've expressed interest."

I'll have someone remind these brands that Lu Fan is too controversial and carries extremely high risks. We could even fabricate rumors about his inappropriate private behavior; no evidence is needed, just let them spread.

Find a few reliable marketing companies and expand your distribution channels. With the truth and falsehoods mixed together, he'll be in serious trouble. Even if Yu Tinglan wants to protect him, she has to consider whether it's worth jeopardizing the entire company's business partnerships for one person.

Wang Zhentao's expression darkened further as he thought of something: "What about Su Qin? That woman has some tricks up her sleeve."

"Su Qin is an investor, and she values ​​both profits and risks," Zhou Li analyzed. "Lu Fan is now clearly a high-risk project, plagued by negative public opinion, cut off from mainstream resources, and his commercial value has plummeted."

She might be sentimental, but she won't risk her reputation and money to fight back. As long as we apply enough pressure to make her see the bigger picture, she'll naturally know what to choose.

Just then, Qingsong walked in.

Wang Zhentao and Zhou Li immediately stood up, and Wang Zhentao greeted them with a big smile.

"Mr. Qingsong, what news did you receive that you came here at this time?" Wang Zhentao welcomed Qingsong to the sofa and helped him down.

"Wang Ma, serve Mr. Qingsong tea," Zhou Li immediately ordered loudly outside.

Qingsong sat down, his face inscrutable: "Our method is showing initial results, and I am aware of Lu Fan's situation."

Wang Zhentao looked at Qingsong and nudged his hand: "Mr. Qingsong, do you think this is enough? When this kid is desperate and his luck has hit rock bottom, your method of borrowing luck..."

Qingsong looked at Wang Zhentao, his eyes devoid of warmth: "Blocking his path is to suppress his luck. Only when it's suppressed to the extreme can it be used. However..."

He changed the subject, his voice calm yet making the room feel even colder: "Even if we drain Lu Fan dry, it might not be enough to completely reverse the innate flaw in your family's destiny that will inevitably decline within three months. At most... it will prolong your life for another half a year, a temporary fix, not a fundamental cure."

Zhou Li frowned: "What do you mean, sir?"

Qingsong's gaze swept over the two of them, landing in the void, as if weighing something: "To address the root cause, we need to find more 'fuel.' Lu Fan currently has some lucky people gathered around him."

For example, Yu Tinglan, after taking over Jiaxing, managed the business very well, and it was a time of great fortune for him.

And then there's Su Qin, with her keen eye for investment, intricate network of connections, and considerable personal fortune. If we could find a way to transfer their luck as well, it could extend the prosperity of Mr. Zhou and Mr. Wang's families for another three years.

Wang Zhentao's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Trying to harm Yu Tinglan and Su Qin? They are not like Lu Fan; they both have powerful backers."

Zhou Li was silent for a moment, then coldly said, "It seems we'll have to deal with both of them together. Mr. Qingsong, is there any way to make her luck fluctuate at a crucial moment?"

For example, what if a signed contract goes wrong, or a promising project suddenly encounters unforeseen circumstances? A few times is enough. In business, a few setbacks are enough to make one restless and unstable.

Qingsong nodded slightly: "That's fine. We just need to get the exact location of their company or the items that key figures often use, and then set up a scheme to disrupt their luck, subtly influencing them. Although it's not as immediately effective as directly targeting Lu Fan, it's better because it's hidden, and the cumulative effect is considerable. Once a clear crack appears in their luck, we can then 'guide' them, achieving twice the result with half the effort."

He paused, looked at Wang Zhentao, and said in a calm tone, yet with a hint of cunning: "This matter is exhausting, and the potential backlash is considerable. Mr. Wang, I'm afraid the previous payment is insufficient to cover it."

Wang Zhentao's expression changed, and he looked at Zhou Li.

Zhou Li said almost without hesitation, her voice cold, "Money is no object. As long as the matter is accomplished, Hua Jian is safe, and the Zhou family's foundation is secure, I will offer double the reward. Mr. Qingsong, please just name your needs."

"Alright." Qingsong then revealed a very faint expression, which could hardly be called a smile. "Then, let's proceed according to plan. First, we'll completely crush Lu Fan, cut off his wings, and extinguish his momentum."

At the same time, I will begin preparations to repair the fortunes of Yu Tinglan and Su Qin when the time is right. Once the time is ripe, I can use the fortunes of all three parties to turn the tide in one fell swoop.

Wang Zhentao let out a heavy breath, his eyes flashing with a mixture of ruthlessness and greed: "That's it! I'll make that brat Lu Fan, and all those clueless people around him, pay the price!"
