Li Nan sneered, “I have never regretted anything I’ve done!”

Xiao Chen sighed, “Stubborn indeed, Head Lin, you’ve heard it all, haven’t you?

Your team leader here seems not at all willing to talk things through with me.”

Head Lin?

Li Nan suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Head Lin was the chief of the entertainment department in Zhili Prefecture.

But upon further thought, it seemed impossible.

What was Tianxing Media that they could invite Head Lin?

“Stop fucking trying to scare me with Head Lin!

Even if Head Lin were here, so what?

I listen to the Li Family, Head Lin means shit!”

Of course, Li Nan wouldn’t dare speak like this in front of Head Lin.

It’s just that he thought Head Lin couldn’t possibly be here, so he got a bit carried away.

“Is that so, Li Nan?

Have you finally spoken your true thoughts?”

At that moment, Head Lin stepped out from a small door in the conference room, his face ashen.

How embarrassing, truly embarrassing.

He had actually let Li Nan lead this investigation team, truly a face-losing move.

“Lin!

Head Lin!”

Seeing Head Lin, Li Nan’s face changed instantly, “I, I was just joking, just trying to make these guys scared, I really didn’t mean any disrespect to you.”

“Of course you were just joking, because you’ve never taken me, your direct boss, seriously, have you?

You listen so much to Li Biao’s words, then go back to the Li Family and work for them.

I can’t afford to employ you.”

Head Lin was truly angry.

Li Nan not only provoked a big figure, but he was also so disrespectful toward him.

“Head Lin, you can’t say that.

I was just trying to finish the job.

Tianxing Media’s refusal to cooperate made me lose my temper; you won’t hold it against me, will you?”

Li Nan continued to argue.

“They didn’t cooperate with the investigation?

Why should they cooperate with you?”

Head Lin coldly said, “I sent you to investigate, not to act like you’re above everyone else.

There’s no conclusion about the plagiarism, but you started accusing people right away.

Who would cooperate with you?

They were even worried that you might just convict them right away and destroy any evidence that could prove their innocence.”

“Evidence that can prove their innocence?

Is there such a thing?”

Li Nan was stunned.

“Take a good look!”

Head Lin took out a photocopy of the exclusive licensing agreement for Li Nan to see, “If you talk about plagiarism, it should be Zhu Entertainment, not Tianxing Media.

This is the solid evidence.

A director from South Korea took money from the Zhu Family and blabbered something online, and you took it for real.

Is the foreigner your father that you believe him so easily?”

“This!

This!

This!”

Seeing this irrefutable proof, Li Nan could no longer argue.

“Nothing to say now?”

Head Lin coldly said, “Li Nan, I am giving you face.

After you go back, resign on your own.

Don’t make it too ugly for yourself.

And the rest of you, assisting a tyrant.

Knowing that the investigation was not following protocol, yet still stirring things up, you should also resign directly.”

“No!

I realize my mistake; please give me a chance!”

Li Nan panicked.

The Li Family of Xiongcheng had spent so much effort to get him a job in the entertainment department, and now he was in charge there.

Now it’s all gone.

If Master Biao found out, he’d beat him to death.

“A chance?

Letting you resign voluntarily is giving you a chance, otherwise it will be worse for you.”

Head Lin coldly stated.

The others were silent as if frozen.

They dared not speak.

“Boss Xiao, I am sorry.

This time our work was not up to par.

The review results of your programs are out, and even the higher-ups have said that your three variety shows will become the benchmark of Dragon Country.”

“It is worthwhile for everyone to learn.”

Head Lin didn’t know Xiao Chen’s identity, but his praise for the works of Tianxing Media was heartfelt.

Having only seen a sample, he was already looking forward to the broadcast of the program.

“Then, thank you, Head Lin.

Since you are here in Blue Sea, why not have a meal together?”

Xiao Chen smiled.

“No need, as you know, it is difficult in this position to avoid giving others a handle, I appreciate your kindness, but I must proceed to investigate the plagiarism case of Zhu Entertainment.

I won’t have the meal.”

Head Lin said.

“Alright then!”

Xiao Chen smiled, “I’ll see you out!”

Li Nan resigned, and the investigation team concluded that Tianxing Media had not plagiarized and made it public.

They even added that if the audience wasn’t convinced, they could just watch the Tianxing Media show when it aired, and they would understand.

This was essentially an indirect advertisement for Tianxing Media.

Zhu Shaoneng was furious.

“What did Li Nan do, not only failing to accomplish the task, but also getting himself resigned?

He is simply useless!”

“Young Master Zhu, why be angry?

Their plagiarism is already proven; even though the regulatory department released the investigation results, most people won’t believe it.

They’re even saying Tianxing Media bribed the investigation team.

The public opinion is still in our favor.

When their program airs, they’ll have to shut down!”

Bai Yuning smiled.

“That’s true; I was confused by anger.

How could the audience possibly accept a variety show with the same content, especially considering they couldn’t even afford to hire a star.”

Zhu Shaoneng smiled and felt relieved again.

Finally, the day Tianxing Media’s show premiered arrived.

Millions of people were tuned into Blue Sea TV.

However, more than ninety percent of them were there to see Tianxing Media’s embarrassment, wondering just how terrible a plagiarized show could be.

They really wanted to criticize it.

Sometimes, having haters is also an overlooked asset.

“I heard that these three shows don’t have any big stars.

Tianxing Media is probably doomed; they can’t even afford stars, so why shoot a variety show?

They might as well just make a web series and at least make some money.”

“Hahaha, exactly.

I didn’t even dare to eat dinner today for fear of vomiting from disgust!”

“It’s about to start, thirty seconds left.

I really want to see just how bad it can be!”

“Didn’t the authorities say they didn’t plagiarize?

Even the number matches; there are three of them, yet they say there was no plagiarism.

Once the show airs, I’ll definitely record the screen; I must make this lousy Tianxing Media leave Blue Sea!”

Countless haters were watching the TV.

As for the internet.

Due to the plagiarism scandal, major video websites were reluctant to purchase the online rights from Tianxing Media.

Therefore, it wasn’t broadcast online.

Perhaps, today had the most TV viewers in the nation’s history.

Although most people’s intent was to criticize.

However, the moment the variety show aired, everyone was stunned.

The first thing that struck them was the cast of the show.

Weren’t there supposed to be no stars?

Could it be that all those top actors in the credits were just sharing names with famous stars?

Those who wanted to criticize suddenly shut their mouths.

Deciding to continue watching.

Unconsciously, the first episode of the first variety show ended.

Many people still wanted more.

They were even speechless.
