is eyes. His world once more turned into black and white. Standing on the windowsill of the hospital ward, he looked outwards; the entire hospital was enveloped in a dark fog, forming a dark cloud tha...Chapter 516: Pricey Information

At this moment, this young man was actually walking into danger. Wasn't he looking for trouble Probably no one would care about it or dare to intervene, right

"Director Guo, what's going on here Didn't you say we were going to air the program earlier In the afternoon, you also said that you wanted to air it. Why did you suddenly cancel it"

The young man was stunned upon hearing Director Guo's words. He had thought that Director Guo was upset because he hadn’t given him money and was deliberately causing trouble, but now it seemed there were other reasons involved. Thus, he continued to ask questions.

"Haha, nothing serious. It’s just a matter of scheduling the program. We feel this way is better, so we apologize!" Director Guo chuckled after hearing what the man said.

Upon hearing Director Guo's words, the young man knew that he was dodging his questions. Immediately, he looked at the envelope that had rolled to the side and gritted his teeth before kicking it back towards Director Guo’s feet. "Director Guo, my package didn’t fall off; I just want to know why! Please enlighten me!"

The young man was now desperate. He had invested heavily into these three people with the hope of making them famous overnight. Therefore, he couldn't let this go so easily and needed to understand what exactly happened.

Upon hearing the young man's words, Director Guo’s eyes lit up as he brought back the envelope under the table.

"Young Mr. Zhou! I have to tell you that your company’s artists might not be able to appear on the program tonight. They are too big a deal for this place. A mere actress dare to act so high and mighty here If they don’t get banned, it would already be a good result!"

Director Guo said as he pointed up.

The young man understood that their people must have offended someone important after seeing Director Guo’s expression. Even if Director Guo hadn't mentioned it, he knew that his people had offended some influential person.

The problem was, he needed to know exactly who they had offended or why would he spend 100,000 yuan for this information Hearing Director Guo's words, he wasn’t satisfied and said, "Director Guo, which big shot did our singer offend Even if I die, let me understand the reason!"

"Haha, still not convinced The artists under your charge offended someone who can get into the VIP lounge on the third floor. If you don’t know who they are, go ask your father; he will tell you exactly which influential person was offended."

Director Guo chuckled and shook his head after seeing the young man's look.

Of course, he knew that the young man had spent quite a sum of money. If he couldn't get any definite information, it wouldn’t be worth it for him to act. Moreover, telling him some information wasn't going to hurt anything.

Furthermore, with such valuable information being worth over ten thousand yuan, he felt that it was worth the price. After all, sharing a little bit of information wouldn't cause any problems.

The young man originally planned to spend these funds to bring back this program and initially didn’t intend to hold Director Gu accountable too seriously.

But when he mentioned why people were involved, Director Gu's expression suddenly changed. Clearly, this touched on some of Director Gu’s fundamental interests, which was the reason he wouldn't hesitate to spend ten thousand yuan for a single piece of information.

The young man, although working in this field, wasn’t very familiar with these matters within CCTV. So after hearing what Director Gu said, he showed an expression of confusion but didn’t continue questioning as he knew that it was futile to do so.

Moreover, Director Gu had made his stance clear; therefore, after saying goodbye to him, the young man left.

Director Gu watched as the young man walked away and shook his head with a smile. He thought to himself, you must have offended someone important. Although this was just a small matter that the person involved might already forget about, who in their right mind would jeopardize their career for some insignificant people or matters

After all, if they were allowed on air and then later blamed by someone else, even if it couldn't be directly attributed to them, there was no telling who might put the blame on them. Even without demoting you, a single word could hinder their advancement.

In politics, everyone regarded promotion as a lifelong mission. Furthermore, if you didn’t climb up yourself and your rival did, it was likely that you would suffer greatly. Being sidelined was the least of your worries; upon investigation, not just one but an entire group might get into trouble. That’s why officials always strive to advance — because not advancing means death, while advancing offers a chance at survival.

After leaving Director Gu's office, Zhou Xianren walked out into the CCTV courtyard where a crowd of people were gathered.

"Brother Zhou, what happened When can we go on air We already told everyone at home that it was going to happen; now they're all waiting in front of their televisions!"

Seeing Zhou Xianren emerge from the CCTV building, three slender figures quickly approached and grabbed his hand, speaking with a whiny tone.

"Slap... Look at you, what's the matter" Zhou Xianren had spent ten thousand yuan for this information and now knew that these three must have acted high-handedly and offended someone they shouldn’t have. Hence, he was forced to cancel their performance. Upon hearing their whining, he couldn't hold back and slapped one of them while yelling.

Hearing the slap and Zhou Xianren's roar, not only did the three women look shocked but so did the other staff members and backup dancers standing by.

"What's wrong with the boss" These staff members thought silently to themselves.

They knew that these three women were all his special possessions. Usually, they would swagger around and act haughty because of their connection with Zhou Xianren. They could even scold the staff without any reservations.

Moreover, Zhou Xianren usually pampered them very much, so why was he acting like this now

The woman who had been slapped sat on the ground from the impact. At this moment, she didn't even dare to cry or act spoiled; she just stared blankly at Zhou Xianren.

"Brother Zhou, what's wrong What happened" After a while, the other two women came to their senses and asked worriedly.

They had signed five-year contracts with Zhou Xianren’s company. If he blacklisted them, they would lose everything. They had sacrificed so much to become stars, each of them having slept with over twenty men along the way. Therefore, seeing Zhou Xianren's reaction terrified them.

"What's wrong Didn't I tell you not to act like this! This place isn’t a stage for showing off! You showed off and caused problems! I spent millions to get you on Spring Festival Gala! If this falls through now, you will have to take clients to compensate me!"

Their silence was better than their words. Once they spoke, Zhou Xianren became even more furious and shouted at them.

Seeing Zhou Xianren's reaction, the other staff members moved away from him as far as possible, not daring to look in his direction for fear of attracting trouble. After all, their relationship with these three women wasn't good either.

"Brother Zhou, there must be some misunderstanding! We always remember your words and never act like big shots! When we came here, we were very cautious and even dared not speak loudly!"

After hearing Zhou Xianren's words, the woman who had been slapped got up from the ground. Her eyes avoided meeting his gaze as she said in a small voice.

The slap had come out of nowhere. Since they arrived at the gala venue, they had been very low-key. But listening to Zhou Xianren’s tone, it sounded like their actions were causing trouble due to them acting like big shots. This was truly unfair to them.

"Humph! Not acting like big shots Would someone just stop your performance if you weren't showing off Think about who you offended today!"

Hearing what the three women had to say, Zhou Xianren snorted and said.

Guo Taizhang wouldn’t lie about something like this; they must have been playing hard to get or offended someone important, which made even Guo Taizhang, the deputy director of the television station, unwilling to intervene.

The three women lowered their heads for a while and then looked up at Zhou Xianren and said, "We really didn’t play hard to get. We’ve been following your instructions here and haven’t even dared to speak loudly!"

"Come over here and report on their movements today," Zhou Xianren helplessly rolled his eyes when he heard what they had to say, then called out to the assistants and staff members of these three people.

A few people walked out from among those who were hiding far away. These people were the ones who originally followed behind the three women.

They originally hid far away in order to avoid being implicated, but they still couldn’t escape it.

"Well then, start talking," Zhou Xianren said as he looked at the few people walking out.

The few people glanced at each other and recounted their whereabouts throughout the day. Actually, they were also puzzled; these three people didn’t speak much all day long in fear of offending someone. So besides rehearsal, they basically stayed indoors.

When Zhou Xianren heard what they had to say, he frowned. He believed that these people wouldn’t lie to him, so could it be that there was a misunderstanding Or did Guo Taizhang intentionally make things difficult

Thinking of this, Zhou Xianren shook his head; something wasn’t right! Although he had found out that the program had been halted by Guo Taizhang’s orders, judging from how Guo Taizhang had just acted, it didn’t seem like he was targeting himself Otherwise, why would he still accept payment from him

"Boss, could it be because earlier some uncouth audience members came looking for signatures and were chased away when they refused"

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind the few people. When the others heard this voice, their gazes turned to the speaker. She was a woman in her thirties who happened to be an assistant of these three women; she had also been there just now.

"What’s going on" Zhou Xianren asked with a frown when he heard what this person had to say.

Upon hearing Zhou Xianren’s words, the woman recounted what had happened. When Zhou Xianren heard her recounting it, he frowned and thought to himself that there couldn’t be such a simple reason for things (to be continued).ke Xiao Yu.In fact, all these people were ordinary citizens who came here for gambling. Naturally, they didn’t dare move when seeing so many of them holding weapons. But Xiao Yu was different; not onl...
