rebirth retreat

The large conference room on the top floor of Dongtian Building is filled with Dongtian’s signed artists at the moment—except for Gu Liuguang who is recuperating from his injuries (in fact, the contract has been terminated), as big as popular idols like Cheng Shaotian and Wen Xiujie, as small as those who have just signed contracts The newcomers who have not yet had time to start work, without exception, all came.

Yan Dongting sat on the first seat, folded his hands in front of him, leaned on the back of the chair behind him, and glanced coldly at the faces of everyone present.

Feeling the cold air emanating from his body, all the artists lowered their heads, not daring to look at him, and their hearts beat wildly at the same time.

"Can anyone tell me what happened to the company recently?" After scanning, Yan Dongting finally spoke, but the questioning tone made everyone tremble.

No one dared to answer, Yan Dongting looked at Cheng Shaotian and said, "Shaotian, tell me."

Cheng Shaotian had no choice but to briefly narrate what happened recently.

After listening, Yan Dongting said: "It seems that you all know what kind of crisis the company and you are facing."

The meeting room was still dead silent, Yan Dongting said: "Do you think that after something like this happened to Dongtian, you can't keep you, so you started to ignore Dongtian and me?"

The artists who turned against Dong Tian in order to protect themselves could not help raising their heads and gave Yan Dongting a cautious look when they heard about it. There were also a few artists who were being poached by other management companies also wringing their fingers anxiously.

"Since some people are determined to betray the company, the company and I can't tolerate you anymore." Yan Dongting said coldly, "After the meeting is over, please go to the HR department to apply for termination."

Hearing that he used "terminate the contract" instead of resigning, the artists who harbored different intentions felt a chill.

"Although Dongtian has encountered a crisis this time, as long as I am still standing here, nothing will happen to it. As long as I am still standing here, Dongtian will have a place in the circle. If anyone thinks that Dongtian is exhausted I can't protect you anymore, and I can leave with them, I won't keep them." Yan Dongting said, "Of course, the company and I will remember the sacrifices you made for those who stay."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for everyone to answer, Yan Dongting said again: "The company will hold a press conference at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Before that, make your choice." After speaking, he got up and left the meeting room with the secretary.

After he left, there was no sound in the meeting room, and everyone sat in chairs with wonderful expressions on their faces.

Afraid?Who is not afraid?Even if Dongtian lost for a moment today, Mr. Yan's name is still resounding in the circle, who would really dare to provoke him?Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help secretly looking at the person sitting next to them.

Who will leave here, and who will stay?

After leaving the conference room, Yan Dongting said to the secretary beside him: "You should follow up the matters concerning the artists, and report to me at any time if there is any situation."

Secretary Tina responded, turned and walked towards the elevator.Yan Dongting checked the time, immediately took out his mobile phone, and dialed an overseas number.

The phone rang for a long time before being picked up: "Hey, Yan."

"Xu Dong, has the last post been sent?" Yan Dongting asked in a deep voice.

"Your call was too timely, I just sent the post." On the phone, a person named Xu Dong said.

"Well, how is it?" Yan Dongting asked.

"It's all right, I guarantee everything will be safe." Xu Dong said, "Your calculation is really accurate. She really paid attention to the posts I sent these days."

Yan Dongting raised the corners of his lips: "Very well, you can stop now."

"But I'm addicted, what should I do if I can't stop?" Xu Dong laughed.

"You can try it." Yan Dongting said.

"Don't do this, we have been classmates for several years." Xu Dong said with a dry smile, "For the sake of helping you, don't expose me, I want to live for a few more years."

"As long as you know."

"Can I ask, what kind of consequences do you plan to make her bear after doing so much?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"What do you think?" Yan Dongting asked coldly.

"Well, you are so cruel." Xu Dong lamented, "I can't help being glad I didn't offend you."

"Who made her think that she shouldn't?" Yan Dongting said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll call you before noon as a reward, and pay attention to check."

Xu Dong responded and hung up the phone.Yan Dongting pushed open the office door, came to the desk, pressed the intercom phone on the desk, and said, "Feng Yi, everything is ready, call the police immediately."

On the phone, Feng Yi's voice turned cold, and he said, "Yes!"

Silence returned to the office, and Yan Dongting squinted at the USB flash drive he had placed on the table, his eyes getting colder and colder.

Finally, the network can be started.

In an old residential building, Tang Qian led Gu Liuguang and Goode up the stairs and knocked on one of the closed doors.

The door was opened, and a man with disheveled hair and typical otaku attire welcomed them in.

"Wang Kun is the elder brother of one of my patients." Tang Qian pointed at the man and introduced to Gu Liuguang and Gu De. "Computer skills are very powerful, and I am often invited to the police station for tea."

Hearing Tang Qian's evaluation, Wang Kun scratched his head and said with a look of embarrassment, "Where is it? It's ridiculous. Compared with you, I am nothing at all."

"Do you know who we are?" Gu Liuguang asked in surprise.

Wang Kun said, "I know."

Gu Liuguang's gaze sank, and he asked, "Then, will you keep it a secret?"

"Of course, my job is to use my life to keep clients secret." Wang Kun seemed unaware of the chill on his body, laughed, turned around and walked towards the refrigerator in the living room, and asked, "Would you like some drinks? "

"No, hurry up and tell us everything you found." Tang Qian asked after him.

"Okay." After hearing this, Wang Kun folded back, sat in front of the computer, and said to Gu Liuguang and Goode: "Because it happened a long time ago, and there are no photos left outside, so it is fundamental to check the source of the photos directly." I can't find it. Based on what Brother Qian said, I started with that woman named Gu Jie, and investigated all the people who might have come into contact with her and her, and finally made some progress. Come, let me show you. "

Wang Kun grabbed the mouse and clicked on the folder on the desktop, picked out a photo, and enlarged it for everyone to see, "This is a photo I accidentally found yesterday. The protagonist of the photo is a real estate developer seven years ago. He often goes in and out of casinos and nightclubs. This photo was taken for him by someone else in the nightclub. The person who took the photo was not very skilled. He took pictures of many people next to him, including that woman. Leaning next to her This man, hehe, is the breakthrough." Wang Kun pointed to the screen and said with a smile.

Gu Liuguang stood beside Tang Qian, looked at the computer, and after carefully identifying the person snuggling with Gu Jie in the photo, he was shocked: "It's him!"

Goode hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"Zeng Kai, the director of "That Summer." Gu Liuguang clenched his fists and took a deep breath, "I didn't expect them to know each other."

Wang Kun turned his head, glanced at Gu Liuguang unexpectedly, nodded and said: "That's right. This is the only person who has a direct relationship with 'Gu Liuguang' among all the people I have investigated around her. So, I Immediately investigated him again, and found that he and the real estate agent seemed to be good friends, and in the photos taken by the real estate agent, he had appeared in a total of 6 times, and 2 of them appeared with Gu Jie." Wang Kun said , and clicked on another photo of Zeng Kai and Gu Jie staying together.

Tang Qian asked: "Can you confirm the exact time when these two photos were taken?"

"It should be February."

Tang Qian frowned, lowered his head in thought.Was it all shot in February?What happened at that time?

"When was "That Summer" released?" He asked quickly.

Gu Liuguang said in a deep voice, "March of that year."

Tang Qian followed closely and asked, "When did that woman come to you with a photo?"

Gu Liuguang noticed something from his question, clenched his fists and said, "She came here not long after the movie premiered."

"So, she got the photo before the premiere." Tang Qian said thoughtfully.

Gu Liuguang tightly closed his eyes, trying to connect the chaotic memories in his mind.

At the finale banquet of "That Summer", he was drunk and taken away by Yan Dongting - afterward he and Yan Dongting completely turned against each other, Zeng Kai was suppressed by Yan Dongting - Gu Jie met Zeng Kai in February of the following year - March of the following year That Summer" premiered, after the premiere, Gu Jie came to him with photos...

Where did the photo in Gu Jie's hand come from?If she didn't shoot it, who would it be?If the photo was taken by Yan Dongting, how did it end up in her hands?But if it wasn't taken by Yan Dongting, who would have deliberately taken these photos?Could it be... Zeng Kai, who has a grudge against Yan Dongting, filmed it?

Thinking of this, a certain string in Gu Liuguang's brain vibrated with a bang.

It was unexpected for Gu Jie to know Zeng Kai, but it is also the most important key to connect these things - Zeng Kai is a director, he himself is good at shooting, and there is no shortage of photographers under him, it is very difficult to take those photos. easy.Moreover, there is a grievance between him and Yan Dongting, and the motivation for taking the photo is also very sufficient.

Suppose those photos were not intended to threaten him, but Yan Dongting?It's just because Gu Jie knew that he made a movie and thought he was famous, so she wanted to make some gambling money from him, so the photos became a tool for her to use instead?

Once this hypothesis was formed, many questions that he had not figured out were finally answered.

No wonder that when he went to ask Zeng Kai for help at that time, Zeng Kai was not surprised at all, but also made such a condition; no wonder Yan Dongting was so angry that he lost his mind when he learned that he knelt down to ask Zeng Kai for help; no wonder Zeng Kai will be imprisoned in an accident after that woman...

So, the photo was really taken by Zeng Kai, and Yan Dongting already knew everything, right? !

Seeing the expression on Gu Liuguang's face that changed several times, Tang Qian asked, "What are you thinking?"

Gu Liuguang gritted his teeth hard and said, "Yan Dongting really lied to me." Thinking of Yan Dongting's answer in the car that day, Gu Liuguang only felt angry and hurt in his heart.Obviously he didn't do it, so what did he admit?

"Is the photo taken by this director?" Goode asked anxiously.

"I'm not sure, after all, the photos and film are gone." Gu Liuguang said, "Now if you want to be 100% sure whether he did it, you have to ask him—" Halfway through the sentence, Gu Liuguang stopped abruptly. Liu Guang's heart suddenly shrank.

[Let that child who occupies your body be careful, actor, this title is too dazzling, and it is not a good thing. 】

"How can I find out a person's whereabouts?" Gu Liuguang asked hurriedly.

Tang Qian reacted immediately, and said to Wang Kun: "Check out that Zeng Kai's recent situation immediately!"

Wang Kun said: "I checked and he was released from prison in March last year."

Did Gu Jie mean to be careful with this person?Gu Liu couldn't help but frowned tightly.

"Then where is he now?"

Wang Kun said: "After he was released from prison, he left city A and went to province B to find a job and live a peaceful life. However, he resigned from his job later, and there was no news after that. I also checked Not sure where he is now."

"When did he quit his job?" Gu Liuguang asked after him.

"According to the insurance cancellation record, it was probably September last year."

Last September?The month when Gu Liuguang and Gude had an accident?

After hearing this, Tang Qian's face also became serious, and he said to Wang Kun: "You have worked hard these days, if there is anything that needs your help, we will come to you again. Remember to keep everything today secret, we have to leave beforehand " After finishing speaking, he pulled Gu Liuguang and Goode, turned around and left the place in a hurry.

"Walk slowly." Wang Kun waved to the backs of the three of them.
