Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore-Chapter 341: Information Leak? What’s Really Going On?

"What's wrong?"

Xiao He walked over.

"Just now when we went to see Mr. James off, he told us that after we left yesterday, someone else went to contact him, trying to dig up Teacher Xiao's role from him."

Lao Qi explained concisely.

Xiao He's brows immediately furrowed tightly. "Which company's person was it?"

"It's an artist from Jiaxing Entertainment, also in the 'Cangyue Calamity' production team. I saw him getting very close with Producer Luo before, their relationship probably isn't ordinary." Xiao Chen said indignantly. "He entered the 'Cangyue Calamity' crew in the same batch as you, Brother Xiao. But you were invited, while he was shoved in by Producer Luo. For this, he even snatched away another actor's role."

"Huh? It's actually them?"

Hearing this unexpected answer, Xiao He was somewhat surprised.

He had just threatened Luo Zesheng not long ago, and it was visibly obvious the other party was already starting to fear him. Yet at this time, this guy was looking for trouble again on his own?

"Did Producer Luo go along with them at the time?"

"That, he did not." Xiao Chen shook his head, but then gnashed his teeth. "But this news was definitely leaked to that artist by Producer Luo. Otherwise, how could a small third-tier artist have the audacity to go up and try to introduce and recommend himself?"

Xiao He fell into brief contemplation.

Actually, what puzzled Xiao He the most was that James and his group's visit was very sudden, their itinerary never publicly disclosed at all. Moreover, James's identity wasn't as famous as Director Tannis. Even if he appeared, to many people, he was just a random foreigner. Who would think they came with a mission from Director Tannis?

Also, Xiao He and his team's reception was very low-key. James and his group stayed here for at most a day and a half. Other talent agencies simply couldn't have received the news this quickly.

So the question arose, how did they know about this? 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Did any of you disclose Mr. James's matter to outsiders?"

Although Xiao He believed the people around him weren't big mouths, he still first checked those close to him.

"No."

Both Xiao Chen and Lao Qi shook their heads.

Xiao Chen even explained, "Brother Xiao, Sister Liu repeatedly warned us. We couldn't possibly go around blabbing at such a critical juncture. We even discussed many things behind closed doors. It's impossible for anyone else to know."

Xiao He believed this.

Lao Qi was an old-timer in the circle, having seen plenty of trouble arising from careless talk. He wasn't a talkative character either, so it couldn't be him leaking the news.

As for Xiao Chen, although he seemed carefree, he was also a very sharp person. He never leaked Xiao He's matters to outsiders. What shouldn't be seen or heard, he consciously avoided. He handled things with good judgment.

So if it wasn't Xiao Chen or Lao Qi, then the problem could only lie with the company.

Could there be a mole in the company?

Now that the company's scale had expanded, it would be normal for a few problematic individuals to slip in...

Xiao He immediately said, "You two, report this matter to Sister Liu right now. Have Sister Liu conduct an investigation over there."

"Okay!"

A few minutes later, Liu Rulan also received the news.

"That dog Luo Zesheng, he really thinks his life is too long! Has the nerve to try and snatch your role? Does he really think Tannis's side is just a dish anyone can get a seat at the table?"

Sure enough, Liu Rulan was over there, so angry she was practically spitting fire.

"It might also be that artist's own action. After all, it's too stupid. Luo Zesheng probably wouldn't do this."

Xiao He was still relatively rational.

He felt Luo Zesheng wouldn't be that kind of fool, deliberately provoking him knowing full well he wasn't someone to mess with.

Anyone who understood a little would know what level of director Tannis was.

Was this something you could just recommend yourself for and snatch if you wanted to?

It could only be said, the ignorant are fearless.

Xiao He guessed that most likely, Luo Zesheng found out about their contract negotiations from somewhere, and then that artist overheard. As a result, this artist also had an empty head, no concept at all, thinking he could snatch anyone's role. So his brain went blank, got hot-headed, and decided to throw his face away to try and grab it.

"I don't care if it was his instruction or not! This matter definitely has something to do with him! Who doesn't know that artist is his kept lover? Ugh! Disgusting thing. Does he think just because I left Jiaxing, I'm afraid of him and can't deal with him anymore?"

"Hehe, if I don't make him lose a layer of skin, I won't be surnamed Liu!"

Xiao He broke into a cold sweat. "But Sister Liu, weren't you worried before that he would affect 'Cangyue Calamity'?"

Xiao He had already disliked Luo Zesheng before, but Luo Zesheng held the position of producer for 'Cangyue Calamity'. The previous producer being arrested had already pushed 'Cangyue Calamity' into the spotlight. If it happened again, the reputation of the 'Cangyue Calamity' crew would be completely ruined.

Actually, the work itself was a major project, a big production, with inherent substance. People would comfort themselves saying good things take time, but no one wanted to personally experience that "time-taking" process.

After all, some people in the circle were still somewhat superstitious. Such a good project, if it didn't bring people luck, fine, but it kept screwing people over. Everyone said they didn't mind, but they had actually already started backing out.

"Before, it was because 'Cangyue Calamity' had so many companies and personnel watching. This Luo Zesheng wouldn't dare cause trouble for you within the crew, so we turned a blind eye, gritted our teeth, and let it pass. But now he actually wants to snatch your role outside the crew. That's my bottom line, something I absolutely cannot tolerate!"

Liu Rulan's voice volume rose several notches.

Xiao He fell silent for a moment, then immediately followed suit. "Then let's take him down."

"But the first priority is still to investigate clearly exactly how he found out about James's matter. Then take him down."

If this matter was really spread from the company side, then it was still okay. As long as the person could be identified and cleaned out.

But if it wasn't leaked from the company side, then this matter became even more interesting...

Xiao He hung up the phone, slowly rubbing the screen of his phone in his hand. Recent events kept flashing through his mind. He remained motionless for a long while.

On the other side, Liu Rulan also found Lin Cheng and told him about this matter.

The current Lin Cheng had long lost the awkwardness from their first meeting. Now he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking every bit the elite, full of confidence.

After listening to Liu Rulan's words, his first response was a denial. "That's impossible!"

His answer was resolute, without any hesitation.

Liu Rulan, however, still held a skeptical attitude. "Who received James yesterday? Who all saw him?"

"Mr. James arrived close to noon yesterday. By then, some of our employees had already left. The one who notified and received him was our front desk staff. Also, before I met Mr. James, I didn't know he was coming on behalf of Director Tannis."

"After we entered the reception room, it was the same front desk staff who brought tea. Apart from that, I was the only one who interfaced with James throughout."

"What about that front desk staff?"

"I've already instructed the front desk. The probability of her talking about it isn't high. Moreover, they were just a few foreigners. It's not a rare sight to encounter them in the building nowadays. Even if she said something, no one would immediately accurately know the purpose of James's visit to China this time."

Lin Cheng explained the situation at the time in detail.

Liu Rulan listened carefully to Lin Cheng's words and also became somewhat puzzled.

However, out of caution, she still had Lin Cheng call over that front desk staff who handled the reception to go over the events of that time again.

The front desk girl from yesterday was a bit confused when called in. Seeing Liu Rulan's gloomy face, she subconsciously stood up straight, not daring to breathe heavily.

"Was it you who answered the reception call downstairs yesterday?"

Liu Rulan asked.

"Um, yes."

The front desk girl nodded, not knowing why Sister Liu called her in, nervously clenching her fingers.
