Chapter 258 Record Broken, Choi Tae-won Gets It!

Everyone nodded, and after chatting for a while, they gradually dispersed.

"Qin Wen, what exactly did you invest in?" Park Bo-young and the others asked immediately after they left.

"Bitcoin." He didn't hide anything from Park Bo-young and said it directly.

"Bitcoin? Where did you get that information? Don't get scammed."

Park Bo-young belatedly realized that she was somewhat worried.

"No, don't worry." Qin Wen said confidently, jokingly.

Even a message from someone with intellectual disabilities can be wrong? That would be a miracle.

As long as you don't get greedy, you'll definitely make a killing.

Park Bo-young wanted to press for more information, but seeing that Qin Wen didn't seem inclined to answer, she wisely refrained from asking further.

"What are you doing? You only got back this afternoon... Do you even consider me a human being?"

"Ugh, this is so annoying, I have to brush my teeth again later."

The next morning, while Qin Wen was still conserving his energy,

Chen Zhongxu called, "Director Qin, good news, good news!"

Your drama series is a hit, with a national rating of 8.240% and a Seoul rating of 10.624%.

It broke our TVN record! It exploded! It really exploded! Hahaha!

Chen Zhongxu sounded very excited on the phone, while Qin Wen was alright; he already knew the ratings.

My only concern is whether the audience will accept the new actors.

It seems pretty good now; not only is he eating, he's eating like crazy, even 0.5% higher than in his previous life.

"Okay, I got it. Is everything alright now? If everything's fine, I'm going back to sleep."

Qin Wen checked the time; it was only 6 o'clock. He decided to take a nap.

"Uh...! Okay, thank you for your time, Mia." Chen Zhongxu saw that Qin Wen was so calm.

Then it dawned on me that they didn't make a living from this, and I had just managed to flatter them.

While Qin Wen was trying to go back to sleep, a discussion had already started outside.

"That brat will definitely be envied by the heavens. Damn it, he was lucky to be born into such a family."

His song became a hit, and now his TV series is a hit too. How come he gets all the good things in the world?

"Yes, he's too clever for his own good. I curse that brat to go to hell today."

"Tch, a bunch of idiots, you're just jealous of Qin Wen oppa."

Qin Wen oppa is amazing! The drama is so well-made, and the concept is so original.

Moreover, it broke TVN's record right from its premiere, making it definitely a top-tier show this year.

"One episode a day is too torture! Can't it be two episodes a day? I'm dying of curiosity!"

"Add 1."

"Add 1."

"Add 1."

The rest are all plus 1.

Qin Wen wasn't asleep either, and Park Bo-young was also thinking about the ratings.

She overheard that it had broken TVN's ratings.

He got up and refused to sleep, repeatedly calling Lee Kwang-soo, Jo Yeon-sung, and others.

This ruined Qin Wen's nap, so he reluctantly got up as well.

He looked at her with an expression that suggested she was an idiot, and said, "Seriously, is it really necessary for you to be so serious this early in the morning?"

"Hmph!" Park Bo-young ignored Qin Wen and then called Choi Woo-shik after thinking for a moment.

The bitch next to me said that this kid has a bright future, and she should inform him.

"Sigh...! Let's finish filming and get up, so we can finish shooting sooner and wrap things up sooner."

I never imagined filming TV dramas would be so tiring; I'm never doing it again.

Qin Wen muttered irritably as he dressed.

Park Bo-young still ignored Qin Wen.

set.

They were the first two to arrive; it's only 6:40 now, and no one else has arrived yet.

Soon after, the actors arrived, which was quite a strange turn of events.

None of the staff came, but all the actors were there.

After a while, the stagehand arrived and looked at the group as if they were crazy.

But the group didn't seem to mind; they were having a lively conversation.

Then Han Dong-wook came over excitedly, "Everyone, we've broken TVN's record!"

"Alright...!" Qin Wen had just been quiet for a moment when Han Dongxu's shout meant they had to start again.

After a period of excitement.

The group resumed filming, which lasted another week.

The viewership ratings for Goblin are also steadily rising, with the third episode reaching 12.471%.

The 5th episode had a 14.274% approval rating, which dropped slightly in the sixth and seventh episodes.

It returned to 14.772% in episode 8.

On Qin Wen's side, the filming is almost finished. In another 3 days at most, it will be basically completed.

While Qin Wen was doing his calculations, the phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw it was from Cui Taiyuan.

"Director Qin, I've got what you wanted."

When the call connected, Choi Tae-won surprised Qin Wen with his opening remarks.

"Okay, I've already prepared what you wanted. Let's find a place tonight."

"Shall we talk?" Qin Wen suppressed his excitement and nodded calmly.

"I own a club. Would you like to have a few drinks, Mr. Qin?"

"A 12-year-old Moutai and a 9-year-old Pu'er tea," Cui Taiyuan invited.

"Okay, I'll be there at 7 p.m.," Qin Wen replied and hung up.

"Hehe, this saves me 4 entertainment points...!" Qin Wen was overjoyed.

Suddenly, the phone rang again; this time it was Kim Jisoo.

"Oppa, Dad said he's taken care of everything at your company and asked when you're going to pick up all the documents?"

"I have something to do tonight, could you bring it back for me?" Qin Wen thought for a moment but decided against going.

Otherwise, we'd have to eat there.

At 7 p.m., Qin Wen arrived at the address given by Cui Taiyuan, but before he could make a call,

Then a receptionist came out.

"Hello, Director Qin. The chairman asked me to take you in."

Qin Wen nodded and followed behind, as the pocket's global detector began to activate.

Upon entering a private room, Cui Taiyuan was already waiting. Seeing Qin Wen enter,

He also stood up to greet him, "Director Qin is here, please have a seat."

"President Cui, please don't be so polite!" Qin Wen shook hands with him, then sat down.

I casually checked my pockets, and thankfully, the global detector wasn't reacting.

"President Cui is efficient; the items have arrived in such a short time."

After confirming there were no surveillance cameras around, Qin Wen stopped beating around the bush and asked directly in a low voice.

"Has the other side noticed anything amiss?"

"Thanks to the mediation of several officials I had bribed."

That's why we were able to get these leverages so easily." Chairman Cui sat back down in his chair.

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and a shadow of gloom flashed in his eyes.

"It was done very discreetly. They were completely unprepared and never imagined that the evidence would fall into our hands."

Qin Wen tapped his fingertips lightly on the table. "May I take a look first?"

"Okay." Choi Tae-won said, taking out a stack of documents and a USB from the drawer next to him and handing them to Qin Wen.

Then, considerately, he took out his phone and asked someone to bring in a laptop.

"Thank you," Qin Wen said, then looked down at the documents in his hand.

The paper was indeed densely covered with records of Li Changji's various transactions, including accounts and details of private favors.

The timing and amount involved in accepting political donations, etc.

There are also several hidden records of overseas asset transfers.

The names of the people, the dates, and the amounts involved are clearly written down.

The edges of the paper still bear faint dark marks left by the archive's copying process, showing how hard-won the original material was.

A moment later, there was a soft knock on the door, and an attendant came in carrying a laptop.

He placed it on the coffee table, bowed, and withdrew.

Choi Tae-won raised his hand to indicate, "The USB drive contains electronic backups."

The recordings and scanned copies of the transfer receipts are all inside.

The printed version is only part of the document; the complete electronic version is far more comprehensive.

Qin Wen temporarily placed the documents on his lap, took the laptop, and turned it on.

My fingertip hovered over the USB port, but I didn't plug it in immediately.

Qin Wen subconsciously touched his pocket again, but the all-area detector remained silent.

There were no alarm signals, and no devices for eavesdropping or data interception were present in the room.

He then looked up and asked, "Besides you and me, who else has had contact with this?"

Choi Tae-won chuckled softly upon hearing this, his eyes brimming with confidence.

He raised his hand, picked up the warm teacup, and slowly took a sip, his tone resolute.

"Don't worry, Director Qin, I'll handle everything from the ground up. The officials assisting will only be responsible for retrieving the data."

We have no idea where the money will end up, let alone that it will be used by you or me.

As for my errand runners, I've already sealed them off, isolating them at every level; no one has complete information.

He put down his teacup, tapped the documents and USB drive on the table with his fingertip, and added...

"Paper originals and electronic backups—I was the only one handling the entire process."

It's spotless; you can't find a single clue.
