Double evil in the business district

Xiao Yue immediately contacted Agent Yang with a serious tone.

"Agent Yang, how much do you know about the mysterious forces contacting Director Zhang?"

On the other end of the line, Agent Yang's voice was a little nervous. "Mr. Xiao, I just heard about this. The other party is quite powerful. I heard that the conditions they offered are very generous. Director Zhang has begun to waver."

Xiao Yue's heart sank, and an uneasy premonition came over him.

She rubbed her aching temples and tried to stay calm.

"I understand. I will talk to Director Zhang personally."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yue immediately drove to Director Zhang's studio.

The winter afternoon sun shone through the car window, but it could not dispel the gloom in her heart.

In the studio, Director Zhang was looking down at the script with a frown on his face.

When he saw Xiao Yue coming in, he just nodded lightly and did not stand up to greet him.

"Director Zhang, regarding your cooperation with another company..." Xiao Yue just started to speak when he was interrupted by Director Zhang.

"Mr. Xiao, I think you should understand that business is business. The conditions offered by the other party, whether it is funding or resources, are much better than yours. I am a director, and what I need is a platform that can fully demonstrate my artistic concepts." Director Zhang's voice sounded a little tired, but more of it was a determination.

Xiao Yue took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the waves in his heart.

"Director Zhang, we've worked together for so long, and I've always respected your artistic vision. I believe our company can also provide you with the best platform."

Director Zhang put down the script in his hand and looked up at Xiao Yue. "Mr. Xiao, you are a smart person. You should understand that some things cannot be changed by hard work." He stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the bustling city. There was a hint of helplessness in his tone. "The entertainment industry is like this, full of temptations and challenges."

Xiao Yue stood there quietly, looking at Director Zhang's back, feeling mixed emotions.

Instead of trying to persuade Director Zhang to stay as usual, she turned around and left the studio.

Walking out of the studio, Xiao Yue looked up at the gloomy sky. The cold wind blew and she couldn't help shivering.

"It seems that this game has just begun..." She whispered to herself.

Xiao Yue did not argue too much, but said calmly: "Director Zhang, I understand your choice. Business cooperation is a two-way process, and we respect your decision." She smiled slightly, with understanding and calmness in her eyes, "I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." These words were completely beyond Director Zhang's expectations.

He had originally prepared a series of arguments to respond to Xiao Yue's persuasion, and was even prepared for the two sides to part ways on bad terms.

Xiao Yue's calmness made him feel a little overwhelmed.

He looked at Xiao Yue's departing back, a trace of doubt in his heart: Did she really give up like this?

After leaving Director Zhang's studio, Xiao Yue was not discouraged.

She understood that instead of wasting her energy on things that could not be undone, she should focus on areas that she could control.

She went straight back to the company and devoted herself to artist management.

In the conference room, Xiao Yue placed a brand new artist training plan in front of everyone.

"Everyone, this is a brand-new training program I have developed, which aims to improve the comprehensive qualities of artists, including performance, body shape, cultural literacy, and so on." In the program, she broke the traditional training model, introduced more interactive and experiential learning methods, and added psychological counseling courses to focus on the mental health of artists.

"Wow, this plan is great!" Li Mingxing was the first to agree. She has always wanted to improve her acting skills, but has been struggling to find a suitable method.

Other artists also expressed their support, saying they were moved by Xiao Yue's innovative spirit and concern for them.

Looking at everyone's enthusiastic faces, Xiao Yue felt a surge of excitement and a sense of accomplishment.

She knew that she was creating a whole new situation.

The meeting was an unprecedented success, and Xiao Yue's prestige in the artist team reached a new height.

As night fell, Xiao Yue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the dazzling night view of the city.

The phone rang, it was Shen Ting calling.

"Yueyue, thank you for your hard work today." His gentle voice came from the receiver.

"Fortunately, everything is under control." Xiao Yue's mouth corners slightly raised, and there was a confident light in his eyes.

"That's good. Go to bed early." After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yue's eyes fell on an entertainment industry report on the table. A striking headline caught her eye: "Bad habits are on the rise in the entertainment industry..." She reached out and picked up the report, her fingertips lightly running across the cold paper, and whispered, "It seems that the peaceful days are coming to an end..."

The undercurrents in the entertainment industry did not happen overnight.

The report in Xiao Yue's hand was like a flash of lightning in the middle of the night, tearing apart the hypocritical calm.

The shocking words in the report revealed some shady activities in the entertainment industry, and this bad trend was quietly spreading and trying to swallow up her investment projects.

Xiao Yue's fingertips slid across the rough surface of the report. She would not allow her hard work to be trampled upon like this, nor would she allow this dark force to act recklessly.

She immediately summoned Wu Entertainment Consultant, an experienced industry expert who was sitting upright, waiting for Xiao Yue's instructions.

"Consultant Wu, how much do you know about the situation in this report?" Xiao Yue's voice was steady, with an unquestionable power.

Consultant Wu pushed his glasses up and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Xiao, this trend is coming with such force that there's probably someone behind it. They're using some false information to deliberately discredit our project, attempting to plunge us into a public opinion crisis."

Xiao Yue pursed her lips and began to quickly flip through the relevant information. Her fingertips flew across the screen, making a slight friction sound.

Her eyes were like a cheetah, searching for flaws in the smallest clues.

"Reporter Zhou Entertainment has been very active recently. Who is the person behind him?" Xiao Yue's voice contained a hint of doubt, but more of certainty.

Consultant Wu thought for a moment and replied, "It's said that he's very close to a new entertainment company. This company has been trying to gain a foothold in the industry, so it's very likely that they did it."

A sneer appeared on Xiao Yue's lips, and she knocked on the table, making a crisp sound.

"Since they want to play, then play along with them. Gather evidence immediately. I'm going to make them shoot themselves in the foot."

Xiao Yue was extremely efficient. She led the team and found the flaws of the slanderer in a short period of time.

They compiled the evidence they collected into a detailed report and publicly clarified the facts in front of the media.

For a time, public opinion was in an uproar, and those who slandered the company instantly became the target of public criticism, their reputation was ruined, and they suffered the consequences of their own actions.

Xiao Yue's investment project not only successfully cleared the stigma, but also attracted more attention, becoming a dark horse in the industry and attracting much attention.

Looking at the numbers constantly jumping on the screen, Xiao Yue finally showed a relieved smile on his face, and a strong sense of accomplishment arose spontaneously.

However, peaceful days are always short-lived.

Just as she was about to celebrate her victory, her cell phone suddenly rang.

On the other end of the line, Agent Yang's voice was a little panicked. "Boss Xiao, this is bad. We've received news that a force is planning a large-scale public opinion attack against us. Their goal is very clear: to completely destroy our project."

Xiao Yue's heart sank slightly; she could feel a crisis approaching.

But she didn't panic at all. She asked calmly, "Do you know where they'll start?"

Agent Yang's voice trembled. "It's not clear yet. They're very cautious and their actions are very covert."

Xiao Yue hung up the phone, his eyes deep, like the calm before the storm.

She picked up the pen on the table and drew a heavy horizontal line on the paper.

"It seems that a new battle is about to begin..." she muttered to herself.

The pen tip made a harsh friction sound as it slid across the paper, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.
