So what if I work with celebrities?

The interrogation room was dimly lit, and the walls were covered with a dark brown soft material, as if to prevent the interrogator from bumping into the wall.

Xu Zan sat on the tiger bench, his hands cuffed, his fingers interlaced as he looked at the two interrogators opposite him.

boom!

Before the man could finish speaking, someone next to him slammed his hand on the table, picked up the table lamp, and illuminated Xu Zan's face.

"Tell me quickly! Who is your superior? How do you contact them? How long have you been doing this?"

Xu Zan remained silent, watching their performance with a smile on her face; her ability to escalate things to a higher level was truly impressive.

"It's no use if you don't speak up. You don't want your friend, oh, your girlfriend, to be implicated, do you?"

These two are playing good cop/bad cop, one playing the bad cop. They're just bluffing without any evidence. Truly a master of telecom fraud, their skills are passed down through generations.

"You won't talk, huh? Then I'll expose your involvement with underworld forces in the media, and you'll be finished!"

The two interrogators were surprised by the man's audacity; he hadn't uttered a single word since entering the room, and even after interrogating him through the night, he wouldn't reveal a single syllable.

"Could I have a cigarette?"

They heard Xu Zan's voice, which sounded like heavenly music. Was he about to confess? They immediately took out cigarettes from their pockets, handed them over, and even helped him light them.

Xu Zan exhaled smoke, and after a while, slowly said:

"I connected with my superiors on June 20th, which was also the first time I met my contact person."

The interrogator excitedly took notes. If they cracked Xu Zan's spy case, he would definitely be promoted in the future. He couldn't sleep just thinking about it.

"I received a notification, a phone call, telling me to rush to the opening of the new China Film Studio to make contact. You know, there are a lot of people there, so it's not easy to be spotted."

"and then?"

"That day, I arrived at the location early with the crew. I scouted the site by myself and looked at each building in detail."

Tell me about your relationship with your contact!

"Don't rush, we'll be there soon. A lot of people came that day, all high-ranking officials. I think my contact is someone important; he's actually in there!"

The interrogator was excited after hearing this. A high-ranking official who had infiltrated our ranks? This was a big fish; it wasn't just a simple promotion anymore, becoming the station chief was not a problem!

"What does the contact person look like?"

"Oh, I wasn't sure at first either. You know this is all confidential. But I knew he would contact me. I was exceptionally invited to the stage at the opening ceremony, and I knew it was thanks to the contact person."

"Someone from inside China Film Group?" The two exchanged a glance and began to speculate.

"Give me another cigarette!" Xu Zan demanded that they call him "Dad" at that moment, and the two of them would immediately kneel down and call him that.

"Your cigarettes are really lousy," Xu Zan flicked the ash off his cigarette onto the table, then blew it out lightly. "I was standing on the stage, shaking hands with every high-ranking official, and I was very nervous, just waiting for the code signal."

"Quickly tell me what that person looks like?" The two couldn't wait any longer.

"Just as the opening ceremony was about to begin, someone came up to me, shook my hand, patted me on the shoulder, and said with a smile, 'I have high hopes for you. Our cause depends on young people like you!'"

The two interrogators were extremely excited. "Our cause!" If this isn't a spy, then who is?

"He wasn't very tall, a bit overweight, wore glasses, and had neatly combed hair. He wasn't young, probably in his sixties or seventies. His accent was also rather strange, not fluent Mandarin. Oh, and he had a mole."

Based on Xu Zan's description, the two interrogators were already searching their minds for people who matched the physical characteristics.

"There's a mole, who do you think it is?" the two whispered to each other.

"I feel like I've seen this person somewhere before!"

They all felt they had seen them somewhere before, that they seemed familiar, but couldn't quite place them. Then one of them started looking through the files and found the guest list and photos from that day's opening ceremony.

As they were reading the day's newspaper, they all cursed in unison:

"What the hell?! You're kidding us?"

The only person who fits this description is Ilizarov. You said Ilizarov… They exchanged a glance and dared not guess any further.

Just then, the interrogation room door opened. The section chief strode in, scanned the people inside, and shouted:

"How could you handcuff Mr. Xu? He was just cooperating with the investigation, he's not a criminal! You're all being fined three months' salary! And demoted one rank!"

The two interrogators' expressions changed drastically. They wanted to plead for leniency, but then they heard Xu Zan say:

"They still won't let me sleep. I will sue you through my lawyer. I will expose your actions in the media!"

Upon hearing this, the section chief's face darkened. Suppressing his anger, he forced a smile and said, "Mr. Xu, it was my fault for not treating you well. We will compensate you for the harm you suffered. Please don't take it to heart."

He invited Xu Zan to his office, brewed a cup of fine tea, lit a cigar, and apologized profusely all the way.

Xu Zan neither drank tea nor smoked; he just sat there, seemingly lost in thought.

The section chief hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is there anything I can help you with, Mr. Xu?"

"Perhaps you know!" Xu Zan suddenly stood up. "I think I can go now?"

As Xu Zan emerged from the police headquarters, he looked at the sun in the sky and felt a sense of rebirth. If the interrogation room was this bad, wouldn't he die if he were imprisoned?

Smelling the sweat on his body, he took a taxi home to wash up.

……

The "Grey Duck" of the Lianzhuhui (a secret society) used his connections to try and get Xu Zan out of trouble, but when these people heard his name, they all avoided him, afraid of being "electrified".

Just when he was feeling disheartened, a son of a high-ranking official approached him and said, "If you sell Panda Entertainment to him, you can get Xu Zan out of trouble."

To be honest, Grey Duck was tempted. It was just a mere entertainment company; if it failed, they could just start another one.

When he heard that the man was only willing to pay one yuan, even the relatively well-mannered Liu Maochuan flew into a rage. If it weren't for the man's status, he would have beaten him up no matter what.

Liu Maochuan found a sailor and had him sign a contract to sell Panda Entertainment for one dollar, but the contract would only take effect after Xu Zan left the police headquarters.

The man readily agreed and told them to wait for news.

The Grey Duck and the Sailor were also unsure, so they went to Panda Entertainment to wait.

……

Sylvia Chang couldn't convince her grandfather. He refused to talk to that person, saying that if you're going to date, then date, don't drag people into it.

Although her maternal grandfather didn't show up, it didn't mean she didn't know other officials. Zhang Aijia drove to the Yangmingshan villa area.

As a third-generation official, she knew many people from a young age and often played with the children of high-ranking officials. When something happened, they would generally look out for each other.

Zhang Aijia drove directly to the Third Young Master's residence. It was better to arrive at the right time than early, as he was just leaving for work.

After briefly explaining his purpose, the Third Young Master was somewhat surprised. "Alright, I think someone is causing trouble. As far as I know, Xu Zan has a clean background. It's just that the master copy of the movie was lost; it's not a big deal!"

"Thanks, Brother Wu! I'll treat you to a meal later!"

"Is it a wedding banquet?" the third young master joked.

"No, we just get along really well!" Sylvia Chang said with a smile.

"Hey, you really need to settle down, find a good family to marry into, and stop going around fooling around all day!"

……

Ding Shanxi received an "edict" from China Film Group, instructing him to take the notice to Panda Entertainment to request funds for the filming of "The New Eight Hundred Heroes".

Upon receiving the notification, he didn't stay at home for long and immediately took Qin Han to Panda Entertainment Company.

On the bus, Ding Shanxi promised Qin Han that he would play the male lead in the film, and that it would be filmed with the help of military personnel, vehicles, tanks, and artillery, just like "Eight Towers".

It will definitely become the best war film in the history of Taiwanese cinema!

Panda Entertainment Company didn't have many employees to begin with, and the only one who really had the final say was Guo Suying. When the two met her, she had a gloomy face and pointed at their noses, cursing:

"You shameless old man, just you wait! When you die, I'll burn your money for you!"

Ding Shanxi was so angry he wanted to roll up his sleeves and beat someone up, but at that moment there were more than a dozen of Qinghe's brothers in Panda Entertainment Company, each with a fierce and menacing look, so who would dare to mess with them?

Qin Han smiled and said, "Ms. Guo, we're not here to cause trouble, but rather it's a request from China Film Group. Look at the notification; it even has an official seal on it!"

Guo Suying took it and tore it up without saying a word. Qin Han tried to snatch it back, but it was too late.

"You, you, you!"

"What do you mean, 'you'? We're not under the jurisdiction of China Film Group! We don't have money. If you're so capable, go ahead and sue us in court! If you win, our company will give it to you. If you lose, watch out, I'll sue you for extortion!" Guo Suying said with her arms crossed and a sneer.

Ding Shanxi took a deep breath. "Young lady, no one can owe China Film Group money."

At that moment, many of the underlings shouted, "Boss! Big Brother!"

The two turned around and saw Liu Maochuan and the sailors arriving, accompanied by a young man. The man was looking around as if surveying the terrain.

"This is mine from now on?" Lu Xingwei said with a smile.

Guo Suying quietly asked her cousin, and after learning the whole story, she exclaimed in surprise, "What? You sold the company for just one yuan?"

Ding Shanxi and Qin Han were overjoyed, but then suddenly realized something was wrong. If they sold it for one yuan, where the hell would the filming expenses come from?

"We disagree!" the two shouted in unison.

Guo Suying was now completely confused and didn't know what was going on.
