The Zou family is in the shipping business.

Customs officials found prohibited drugs on Zou's boat.

Many ships on various routes have been anonymously reported.

Anything involving prohibited drugs is a very serious matter, and customs immediately seized all of Zou's cargo ships that arrived at the port.

"That's all I know for now," Zang Tianze said.

The clock ticked away, and time quietly slipped past midnight, but the administrative office area on the 11th floor of Lighthouse Entertainment was brightly lit.

After hearing Zang Tianze's words, Wang Liping slumped onto the sofa. His eyes were still bloodshot from the drinking party.

"These bastards are too ruthless. This is cutting off their lifeline. They're aiming to bring down the Zou family."

Director Zhou slowly began, “Those three companies have always been so ruthless.”

"Otherwise, if the entertainment industry is so lucrative, why are only three companies still reigning supreme here? Could it be that other bosses think the money in the entertainment industry is too easy to make?"

Fang Ruoxi was probably the first to calm down after hearing the news.

She looked at Yuan Ning, whose face did not look very good, and said, "President Yuan, you are a veteran of Zou Family Shipping. None of us know much about business. You should be the only one here who knows the situation best. Could you tell us about it?"

Yuan Ning then said, "There are three problems at present."

"First, in the shipping business, if customs seizes a ship and the goods of those bosses who use Zou's shipping services are detained and unable to pick up their goods in time, they are liable for compensation."

Furthermore, since the problem arose with the Zou family's ships, leading to their cargo being held up by customs, the issue lies with the Zou family.

The Zou family faces huge compensation claims.

Yuan Ning paced back and forth, his brows furrowed deeply: "Secondly, the Zou family's stock will hit the daily limit down tomorrow morning."

"That's how the stock market works. When bad news comes out, the stock price will plummet. As long as the customs doesn't investigate clearly, the Zou family's stock will continue to fall to the daily limit."

The value lost is so great that just thinking about it is suffocating.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ruoxi felt as if an invisible rope was around her neck.

The rope tightened little by little, intending to hang them all and then parade them around on the entertainment industry's 'execution platform'.

Those people would point smugly at their 'corpses' and say, 'Look, this is what happens when you oppose us.'

Eleven years ago, they could easily crush a superstar who was at the height of his popularity.

Eleven years later, the shipping tycoon entered the entertainment industry, only to be easily crushed by them.

Anyone who dares to touch the huge pie of the entertainment industry will have their hands chopped off.

Director Zhou closed her eyes briefly. "So, that's why I..." She didn't finish her sentence.

But Fang Ruoxi understood what Director Zhou meant.

Back then, the genius screenwriter who was forced to commit suicide was a thorn in Director Zhou's side.

Over the years, that thorn has been embedded in her heart, becoming a scar that oozes pus.

Fang Ruoxi spoke decisively, cutting off Director Zhou's words, "Director Zhou, times have changed."

"I don't think it's still the era when the 'Big Three' can control everything."

Eleven years ago, smartphones were not widespread, and people mainly obtained information through newspapers.

Today, the era of smartphones has arrived.

Blogs have become the most popular social platform in China, and the number of downloads continues to increase.

In the past, the "Big Three" (referring to the three major political figures) could use money to silence reporters.

If you encounter someone with a strong sense of justice, then kill them to make an example of them.

The news was covered up, and no one knew about it.

But it's different now.

If their old methods still worked, Fang Ruoxi wouldn't be in this situation today.

Hearing this, Zang Tianze nodded and patted his mother's shoulder. "Yes, times have changed, Mom."

Yuan Ning glanced at Fang Ruoxi, then lowered her eyes and said, "Sometimes I envy people like you."

Fang Ruoxi could sense that Yuan Ning always harbored a faint hostility towards her; it wasn't obvious, but she could feel it.

Yuan Ning: "His mind was empty; he just spouted these nonsensical words out of sheer enthusiasm."

Wang Liping exploded upon hearing her words, "What the hell! Are you kidding me, sister? At a time like this, you're attacking your own people?"

Yuan Ning's eyebrows were practically standing on end. Finally, he couldn't hold back his anger any longer and roared at Wang Liping, "Xiao Rong didn't run this lousy company with you guys. The Zou family is living a life of luxury!"

Wang Liping was stunned by her shout.

These words, once spoken, were like a flood bursting its banks.

Yuan Ning could no longer hold back her words, "Before, we all thought that Xiao Rong was a good-for-nothing playboy who played music! But look at him now! I'd rather he play music for the rest of his life! As long as the Zou family doesn't fall from grace, they can afford to support him!"

After she finished yelling, the office went silent.

Yuan Ning was panting heavily.

Adversity sees the truth.

Fang Ruoxi stood up and pulled Wang Liping back before he could argue his case.

Then he said to Yuan Ning, "I don't understand shipping business."

“But when I agreed to start this company with Zou Rong, I anticipated this day would come. It’s not as naive as you say, Mr. Yuan.”

"Today, I can say this: even if the Zou family's shipping business collapses, I can still give the Zou family an even more prosperous business empire."

When Fang Ruoxi said this, her expression was very serious, and her tone was more solemn than ever before.

Everyone present was stunned by her words.

Even someone as seasoned as Director Zhou was momentarily stunned.

After hearing this, Yuan Ning paused for two seconds, then smiled.

Laughed in anger.

"Are you used to ripping off Zou Rong? Are you treating me like a child? Are you just making empty promises?"

"Ha." Yuan Ning picked up her coat, turned around and left in anger.

Wang Liping was so angry at this woman that his eyes turned black.

Li Ming looked at Fang Ruoxi with concern.

As a result, Fang Ruoxi's expression remained completely unchanged.

It seems like nothing can defeat her.

Fang Ruoxi said, "Sister Yuan is an elder of the Zou family. It's normal for her to be angry after something like this happened. She really treats President Zou like a son or nephew."

Mentioning Zou Rong, Fang Ruoxi looked at Zang Tianze and asked, "Mr. Zang, what can we do about the Zou family now?"

Zang Tianze looked at Fang Ruoxi, who remained calm in the face of danger, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He pondered for a moment, "The innocent are innocent, and I also believe that the Zou family has been wronged."

"Currently, it seems that some people may have bribed employees under the Zou family."

"It's only a matter of time before they find out."

"However, the investigation will certainly have caused huge economic losses to the Zou family."

The money the Zou family had to pay to those cargo owners just from the customs delays was enough to put them in a very difficult situation.

In addition, there was negative news regarding the stock market...

It's possible that the "Big Three" might take the opportunity to do something underhanded.

Wang Liping looked at Fang Ruoxi with worry, "Ruoxi, the Zou family might really be finished this time..."

Fang Ruoxi stood up, picked up her coat, and said, "Mm."

Her "hmm" was very calm.

"I know."

"But as I said, when I agreed to start this company together, I was mentally prepared for this."

"Breaking the industry monopoly of the 'Big Three' will inevitably cause significant damage."

"But as I just said, they acquired Zou Family Shipping, so I will return to the Zou family an even grander business empire."

Regardless of whether the people present believed her or not, Fang Ruoxi glanced at her watch and said, "It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest."

“Brother Wang, give unrelated employees a break. According to industry confidentiality principles, I don’t want to see news like ‘insider leaks’ during this period.”

Wang Liping nodded in agreement immediately, just like a lowly soldier.

"Brother Li, your only task with Sister Hong during this period is to focus on ranking. I want first, second, and third place this month."

Li Ming was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, these two songs will definitely be number one or two this month."

Fang Ruoxi was very angry, and the consequences were severe.

She put on her coat and said, "Director Zhou, the casting for 'Temptation of Wives' has begun. Then, like 'Unexpectedly,' it will be broadcast weekly, filming and airing simultaneously."

Anger ignited, then transformed into fighting spirit.

Are the "Big Three" going to fight her?

Fang Ruoxi decided that she would definitely record "Longing" this month, and at the same time, write a script.

Alright, let them fight to the bitter end!
