Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled-Chapter 678 - 488 Shameless Yang Changwen

Chapter 678: Chapter 488 Shameless Yang Changwen

These years, Tengying Entertainment hasn’t been without banned artists.

But with an influence as broad as the National Uncle, I’m afraid only the likes of Fan Haomen and Yang Baobei, those few top-tier celebrities, can compare.

If the scandals in the entertainment circle were to be fully exposed, it would probably blind countless people with its shocking revelations.

Even one’s moral values could shatter.

Why is fake data so prevalent, such that even a giant entertainment group like ours can’t avoid it?

That’s because many people are making money off this.

...

You could say that keeping a mistress, tax evasion, and tax fraud are just the tip of the iceberg; once the true paths to stardom of female actresses are exposed.

Very few so-called top celebrities could stay out of trouble.

Lin Qiunan only realized how challenging the entertainment industry was after she joined the secretarial team.

Without a big boss to back them, and without money or connections, those actresses

simply cannot secure substantial resources.

This industry is too unclean.

“Chen, I think we should meet and talk with them first, to see how much money they actually want!”

If National Uncle falls, Tengying Entertainment would lose at least two hundred million.

Although it’s possible to hold Xiubo accountable, having been banned, how much money could he possibly contribute?

And once banned just like that, there would probably be a whole lot of brand representatives knocking on his door demanding compensation.

Chen Pingsheng said, “Arrange a meeting with them.”

Lin Qiunan didn’t expect that the big boss himself did not want to show up, and just sent her, a mere secretary, to handle such a significant matter.

She obediently contacted the other party through the phone.

The one who took those photos is Zhuo Wei, reputed to be the top paparazzo in the country.

Do you think he earns money by exposing celebrity secrets?

That’s entirely thinking too much; his main income comes from selling those secrets!

In this kind of business, if there weren’t support from significant players behind the scenes, he would have been jailed long ago.

Zhuo Wei was no exception.

Once, he was also a conscientious journalist, but can conscientiousness feed you in this industry?

Until once, he captured photos of a cheating scandal involving a second-tier celebrity.

And it was a second-tier star on the rise.

When he prepared to expose it, his boss proactively contacted that celebrity.

Then the celebrity bought all the photos from his boss for 15 million yuan.

And he? He merely received a bonus of 150 thousand yuan.

After that, he wised up. Reporting for the righteousness of the entertainment circle?

Stop kidding, housing prices in the city are skyrocketing, and he too needs to support his family.

After resigning, Zhuo Wei spent a year and finally caught a top celebrity cheating again.

This top-tier star personally contacted him and bought all the materials from him for over thirty million.

With that money, he formed an even larger team, and the money came even faster.

Usually, those who offer more money don’t get exposed, only those who offer less and can’t come to an agreement get revealed.

With this unscrupulous method, his reputation in the industry grew larger, even reaching the point of targeting Tengying Entertainment.

This group is not easy to provoke; from how they swiftly dealt with Huayi Brothers and LeEco’s Jia Yueting, it’s clear.

This big boss is no kind-hearted soul.

Zhuo Wei got a bit too inflated as well, holding onto such significant information he couldn’t just sit on it without utilizing it.

Thus, that information ultimately ended up on Chen Pingsheng’s desk.

He had thought that he could at least make the boss of Tengying Entertainment come to negotiate personally, but instead, it was a mere secretary who showed up.

Zhuo Wei didn’t mince words and directly asked for two hundred million.

Lin Qiunan was shocked by this number; earning this kind of money isn’t for ordinary people.

Naturally, no evidence was left that could be used against him.

Thinking of accusing him of extortion was out of the question.

Lin Qiunan sent a message to Chen Pingsheng, primarily just a number.

Two hundred million, that was the price the other side stated.

Chen Pingsheng didn’t even care to look; he was busy finding out exactly how much National Uncle owned domestically.

Once he confirmed it, he wouldn’t wait for others to expose him, he would seek compensation from this person himself.

Zhuo Wei did not just talk for nothing; he really got himself deeply involved.

It’s often said, when you always walk by the river, eventually you will get your shoes wet.

Every get-rich-quick scheme is inscribed in the criminal law.

Such behavior invites thorough scrutiny, and he is no exception.

No one knows how he vanished from the entertainment circle; he simply disappeared.

As for the “nation’s favorite uncle,” his favorable hand was ruined by a mistress.

For seven days straight, he was the top headline; as bright as his past was, so disgraceful was his situation now.

Tengying Entertainment’s stock plummeted over five days, evaporating nearly ten billion.

To Chen Pingsheng, this was merely a trivial matter, and he remained undaunted by any threat.

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

He would rather pay tenfold than yield to extortion.

There would be no compromise on such matters.

Instead of losing money, he even turned the tables and had Wu Yifan, the top artist of his rival, taken down.

Huayi had also been declining for years.

Tengying Entertainment had been the industry leader for so many years.

There were always some restless individuals trying to shake him down, completely misunderstanding Chen Pingsheng.

What’s the sacrifice of a few artists?

If you dare inquire into his businesses, he will surely investigate yours.

Now, not only did they fail to get any money,

the top paparazzo who supported the investigation into Tengying Entertainment’s artists got locked up, and the opposing side’s top artist was gone.

Chen compensated billions, but his opponents were facing bankruptcy.

No one expected him to be so ruthless.

After this, anyone considering using such dirty tricks against his conglomerate should think carefully about the cost.

After all, paying them off was absolutely out of the question.

When Chen Pingsheng returned home, Yang Changwen immediately came to admit his fault.

While he planned to invest in making movies, he had thought things through very clearly.

Considering the nation’s favorite uncle’s popularity over the years, having him as the main actor almost guaranteed no losses.

He had already planned to invite him as the ratings magnet for his first film production.

He was ready to spend tens of millions to hire him as the protagonist, but then the man abruptly died.

And he was personally blacklisted by his own uncle-in-law.

Luckily, he hadn’t yet spent the money; otherwise, who could he complain to?

Yang Changwen was utterly unprincipled, not just verbally grateful; he even offered to have a second, third, or even a fourth child that would take the Song surname.

If the Song surname wasn’t enough, changing his sister-in-law’s kids to the Chen surname was also okay.

This bastard certainly had a wild imagination.

Yang Changwen kept making promises,

Unaware that Song Yanxi was standing right behind him.

Given Song Yanxi’s temperament, Yang Changwen’s statement was an immediate death wish!

It’s one thing for him to be shameless, but daring to suggest such disgraceful things at her place,

her sister’s children bearing her husband’s surname was even her brother-in-law’s idea.

If the law allowed, she would have torn Yang Changwen to pieces.

It baffles her how Song Wu ended up with such an unreliable husband.

How could Yang Changwen dare to stay at her house any longer; he was quick to flee.

Song Yanxi exclaimed angrily: “This bastard really had the nerve to suggest that!”

“You still don’t understand him? He’s not malicious, just downright lacks principles and a baseline.”

It was a mere joke, unlikely to cause any major ripple.

All Song Yanxi felt was that it was undeserved for her sister.

How did she end up with such an irresponsible guy?

Chen Pingsheng explained, “That guy even wanted to hire Wu Xiubo for a film last month. Luckily, I reminded him, or else he would’ve lost everything.”

“Hmph!” Song Yanxi snorted displeasedly, “Can’t he just behave? Does he even have the brains for business?

“Just making a little money and he becomes arrogant; suddenly, I feel like your sister’s husband, Hu Lin, isn’t that bad.”

Hu Lin is totally the opposite.

Even if you were to place a hundred million in cash in front of Hu Lin, he would still go to work the next day.

This also infuriated Song Yanxi.

She had never seen anyone so shameless; being shameless himself was one thing, but dragging her into it was another.
