Huayu Shen Gongbao

Chapter 40, Question 1 for Jackie Chan

People feel much more relaxed after getting through difficult times.

Liu Yifei is the same.

But after the press conference, when she went to the lounge, she found everyone looking very serious.

The atmosphere was very oppressive. Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were both smoking, making the lounge very smoky.

Jackie Chan glanced at Liu Yifei and said, "Regardless, the press conference is over. Let's look forward and work together to do a good job."

Wang Zhonglei took a deep drag on her cigarette and said, almost straining her voice, "This matter can't just be left like this!"

So many of us got food poisoning; it can't be a one-off incident. We must investigate this thoroughly!

We must find out who's behind this!

"Fuck you! I'll fucking kill him!"

Wang Zhonglei spoke very rudely and even used foul language, but everyone understood.

After all, he defecated on stage at a press conference, embarrassing himself in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers. Now, the video and photos have spread throughout the entire internet. Calling it a social death is not an exaggeration at all.

The internet is now full of mockery of the Wuling Hongguang and the "Shit King".

From now on, when Wang Zhonglei goes out to discuss business, she will be treated differently, and the title of "Shit King" will never be erased.

This is absolutely the biggest stain on his life.

For many wealthy people, fame equals profit; a bad reputation can severely damage their financial interests.

Besides, people live for pride, for face and vanity. Nobody likes being labeled a "shit king" and ridiculed for a lifetime.

In addition to Huang Xiaoming and Tong Dawei, who also caused this incident, these are two key figures from Huayi Brothers.

Although Ren Quan and Hu Jun did not collapse, the video of them running while covering their buttocks was ridiculed online, making it seem like they had collapsed in reality.

The images of these four male celebrities were severely damaged, and the reputation of "Wuling Hongguang" grew louder, which was a heavy blow to Huayi.

Wang Zhongjun stubbed out his cigarette and said firmly, "This matter really needs to be investigated thoroughly. If someone is really behind this, we must call the police. We'll not only make them pay compensation, but we'll also send them to jail!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei turned pale with fright.

She didn't think much when she was causing trouble; the drugs she found were harmless to the human body, and the dosage was not large.

I never expected there would be someone who couldn't keep their mouth shut.

This is a huge disaster!

If they really find her, she'll definitely have to pay a huge sum of money, her acting career will be over, and she'll even have to go to jail!

Just as Liu Yifei was feeling anxious, Wang Zhonglei said, "Of all the food we ate for lunch, the one most likely to cause a problem is the bayberry!"

I remember my bayberries; it was you, Liu Yifei, who washed them and brought them to me!

Huang Xiaoming added, "Mine was also brought over by Xixi, and she said it was delicious."

Wang Zhongjun looked at Liu Yifei and analyzed, "You said the bayberries were delicious and told us to eat more, but you didn't seem to eat much? Your stomach didn't feel uncomfortable, and you could still sing and dance."

Upon hearing the three people's continuous questioning, Liu Yifei's mind went blank; she didn't know how to refute them.

Because she was the one who did the wrong thing, there's no way to deny it!

When she was at her most panicked and helpless, Shen Gongbao stepped forward and directly refuted her, saying, "What do you two Mr. Wangs mean?"

You arranged the press conference, and now there's been a problem, ruining our studio's first public appearance.

We didn't complain about your incompetence, yet you have the nerve to blame our studio's artists?

These words were very impolite, and Wang Zhonglei immediately retorted angrily, "We are asking Liu Yifei, Shen Gongbao, please don't get involved!"

Your comments at the press conference that we couldn't cover up our problems have caused a lot of online discussion about the Wuling Hongguang.

This isn't over yet; I'll settle the score with you later!

Shen Gongbao chuckled and said, "If I hadn't deliberately changed the subject at the press conference, the audience would have been staring at you guys ripping shit!"

At least it's better for people to talk about their sexual orientation now than to spew nonsense!

If you don't want people to talk about you, then don't do things so cleverly.

So many people got food poisoning, but you guys couldn't even handle it. Don't you reflect on yourselves?

If I hadn't stepped in to take charge, and if Sisi hadn't performed the children's song, would this press conference have been able to continue?

Is it just because I said you can't keep your mouth shut, and Sisi sang the wrong lyrics, saying "papa's poop is poop," that you're deliberately picking on us?

Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that Sisi is an artist in our studio, and her interests are aligned with ours. How could she possibly harm us?

People kindly washed bayberries for you to eat, and you're being unjustly suspected? It's like they've been ungrateful for your kindness!

In terms of eloquence, Wang Zhonglei was no match for Shen Gongbao.

No one expected Shen Gongbao to be so tough, speaking so bluntly to Wang Zhonglei in order to protect Liu Yifei.

Wang Zhonglei wanted to speak, but Shen Gongbao didn't give him a chance. He said directly, "When the press conference was paused just now, I had Li Xue take the bayberries to be tested. The test strip is very fast, and the results will be available in a few minutes!"

"Wait a minute!"

Shen Gongbao had heard about the medicinal use of bayberries in his previous life.

In fact, most of these highly perishable fruits are soaked in chemicals unless they are transported using a high-cost cold chain; it's just a matter of how much.

If it meets the standard, there's no problem; if it exceeds the standard, it's harmful.

When Shen arrived at the venue yesterday afternoon, he noticed that the bayberries Huayi bought had a very bright color, and he felt something was wrong.

He had taken the bayberries beforehand and secretly tested them with a test strip; they were indeed soaked in chemicals, and the concentration was quite high.

So he took advantage of the situation and used the bayberries to complete the whole scheme.

This way, we can not only stir up trouble, but also use the hype surrounding the soaking of bayberries in chemicals to announce the matter ahead of time.

If it can promote safety standards in the bayberry market, it would be a good deed.

As soon as Shen Gongbao finished speaking, Da Lixue hurriedly walked in.

Holding the test strip, she said, "The test results are in. This batch of bayberries definitely has a problem; the pesticide residue is seriously excessive!"

Upon hearing this, the Wang brothers both stood up and carefully examined the test strip.

Shen Gongbao immediately said, "Now that it has been confirmed that the bayberries are the problem, this is a food safety incident."

We are all victims and should not be ridiculed.

We must reveal the truth as soon as possible and promote the standardized development of food safety for bayberries.

The best course of action would be to donate a sum of money to establish a special fund to combat this practice of soaking bayberries in chemicals.

In this way, the company's image will be positive, offsetting some of the negative impact of this press conference!

After Shen finished speaking, everyone perked up!

Jackie Chan nodded in approval and exclaimed, "The Taoist priest is right, you are truly amazing!"

Now that the cause has been identified, let's act quickly. Count me in the money from the whistleblower fund!

What was originally a very complicated matter was quickly sorted out under Shen Gongbao's guidance, and an implementation plan was provided.

This ability has earned everyone's admiration.

Liu Yifei was filled with admiration and gratitude, her heart overflowing with emotion.

When Shen Gongbao stood up for her, Liu Yifei felt really safe.

Unbeknownst to her, Shen Gongbao had indeed taken on a fatherly air in Liu Yifei's mind, making her unconsciously develop a sense of dependence on him.

After figuring out the situation, the Wang brothers wanted to leave and quickly arrange their work, but Shen Gongbao said, "Are you just going to leave like this? You wronged Qianqian just now, and now you're not apologizing?"

I'm a very principled person; right is right, and wrong is wrong. If I'm wrong, I have to apologize!

Shen Gongbao, not one to back down, demanded an apology from both Mr. Wangs.

This has always been his image, and even Jackie Chan thinks it's reasonable.

Wang Zhonglei remained silent, but Wang Zhongjun was more magnanimous and said directly, "We were indeed impatient just now, Qianqian, don't take it to heart."

Liu Yifei quickly said, "It's alright, we should find out the reason."

After apologizing, the two kings left, and the other celebrities also departed.

Only Jackie Chan and the people from Snow Leopard Studio remained in the lounge.

Shen Gongbao sighed and said to Jackie Chan, "Brother, how about we just forget about this betting agreement?"

"These misfortunes have already happened so soon after the studio was established; this is bad luck!"

Upon hearing this, Jackie Chan immediately shook his head and said, "How can that be? We can't go back on our word once we've signed the agreement!"

"I've transferred all the money to the studio!"

Shen Gongbao deliberately frowned and said, "You know what a mess this has made. The press conference has become a joke, President Wang has lost all his prestige, and the images of several male celebrities from Huayi have also been damaged."

The press conference turned out like this, and the two Mr. Wangs are even starting to doubt our own people.

Huayi is just a makeshift operation; how can it possibly succeed in going public?

Brother, maybe we should really skip the betting agreement. I don't want to take on 8000 million in debt!

Jackie Chan patted Shen Gongbao on the shoulder and comforted him, "Isn't it because you're here? You were able to handle such a sudden and complicated situation today."

I believe in your abilities; let's continue with the agreement.

"What if Huayi really goes public in the future and its stock price skyrockets?"

"If the stock price soars while you're in charge, I'll accept it!" Jackie Chan said firmly, "The agreement has been signed, and there's no going back!"

Upon hearing Jackie Chan's words, Shen Gongbao smiled; this was the first time he had asked Jackie Chan such a question.

I'll ask him a few more times in the future, and when the stock price actually goes up, let's see what he has to say.
