156: Chapter 156 Unexpected Visitor

Chen Shaoping and Li Qian's eyes lit up instantly; Manager Cai's suggestion was indeed the most suitable.

"I agree with Manager Cai's idea," Li Qian immediately changed her tune.

In her heart, the most profitable was the best.

"Alright, let's go with Zhuque Legend," Chen Shaoping made the final decision.

Hua Lin and Zheng Yi felt a wave of dizziness; this happiness had come too suddenly.

Their gratitude toward Chen Shaoping grew even stronger.

If it weren't for Chen Shaoping, they didn't know if their duo would still exist or where they would be wandering.

"The album will have eight songs. I'll write six more for you and include the previous 'Most Dazzling Folk Style' and 'Above the Moon' as well."

Chen Shaoping said to the Zhuque Legend duo.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen! Thank you, everyone!"

Hua Lin and Zheng Yi stood up and bowed to everyone in thanks.

Wang Xinning curled her lip, feigning a look of grievance. "Don't give us those empty gestures; give us something practical. You two are treating us to late-night snacks tonight and tomorrow night."

Hua Lin and Zheng Yi readily agreed.

Chen Shaoping said to the others, "Don't be discouraged. I'll prepare a song for each of you to maintain your popularity."

"It'll be your turn for an album soon."

The others chuckled. "Mr. Chen is so generous."

...

Once the business was concluded, everyone dispersed, and Zhang Ying was dragged away by Wang Xinning.

Chen Shaoping was the only one left in the once-bustling office.

He finally had time to check the intelligence.

[Daily Intelligence 1 (★★): Under the guidance of her boyfriend Guo Dayou (an executive at Golden Investment Bank), actress Gan Linlin made a precise purchase of "Shile Film and Television" stock before its restructuring suspension (specifically before today's A-share market close at 15:00).

Half a month later, "Shile Film and Television" will resume trading, and the stock price will skyrocket. Guo Dayou told her to sell as soon as it resumes trading, which will net her a profit of over ten million.

Recommendation: Follow suit and purchase; the amount should not exceed ten million.]

[Daily Intelligence 2 (★): Gu Er, the ghostwriter for the TV series "fan hua" which just finished airing on television, is dissatisfied due to long-term exploitation, being deprived of screenwriting credit, and not receiving his due compensation.

He plans to expose recordings of the drama's 'the only one screenwriter' Qin Wenwen and Director Wang Jiawei. The recordings involve the two of them badmouthing several actors.

This will reveal to the public how morally corrupt Qin Wenwen and Wang Jiawei are, directly leading to the cancellation of two other TV series 'written' by Qin Wenwen.

Recommendation: Be cautious when communicating with these two.]

After reading, Chen Shaoping thought: The first piece of intelligence is simple; just buy it. Ten million certainly wouldn't be a problem for the company.

The second piece of intelligence didn't seem to have much to do with him.

After checking the intelligence, he opened his computer, logged onto the "Wodian Novel Website," and checked the stats for "the legend of the condor heroes."

Thanks to the website's support, the data was quite good.

However, although the word count was high, there were few chapters.

Many readers weren't satisfied and were clamoring for updates.

Chen Shaoping decided to post all the remaining thirty-five chapters in one go.

He set them for automatic updates, three chapters per day, with two chapters on the final day.

It would be completely updated in just over ten days.

Half an hour later, the settings for "the legend of the condor heroes" were complete.

Chen Shaoping breathed a sigh of relief; he wouldn't have to worry about it every day anymore.

Having finished his tasks, he was in a good mood and strolled over to Li Qian's office.

Li Qian was giggling at her computer, not noticing Chen Shaoping entering.

Chen Shaoping lightened his steps, walked to her side, and suddenly spoke in a muffled, deep voice.

"Li Qian, what are you doing that's making you so happy?"

Li Qian was startled by the sudden voice, her body jolting.

After seeing it was Chen Shaoping, she stood up and immediately gave him a punch, thumping him hard on the back.

"Da Ping, do you want to die?! You didn't make a sound while walking."

Chen Shaoping grimaced in pain, thinking to himself that he was really asking for it—why did he have to go looking for trouble?

"You were just too engrossed. What are you looking at so intently?"

"It was just posted online—Xu Kun has been sentenced."

"Oh." Chen Shaoping leaned in closer, also wanting to see what the sentence was.

The Kawaii Girl, who had been severely injured by Xu Kun, still hadn't woken up.

The doctor's assessment was that the probability of her waking up was very low, and even if she did, she certainly wouldn't be able to take care of herself.

Although Xu Kun had paid compensation and showed a good attitude by confessing after his arrest...

...he was still sentenced to five years in prison.

Seeing this result...

Chen Shaoping wanted to say: the police and the court did a great job, though it would be even better if the sentence were longer.

"Serves him right! Scum like him should go in and step on a sewing machine; it would have been better if it happened sooner," Li Qian said indignantly.

[Host has completed a four-star intelligence task, earning 5 paparazzi points plus an extra reward of 3 points.]

[Host's current paparazzi points: 92]

Chen Shaoping was somewhat dissatisfied. Completing the intelligence on Cen Minglan had granted him a chance for a designated piece of intelligence.

This intelligence on Xu Kun only rewarded 3 paparazzi points; it was a bit underwhelming.

Even though they were both four-star intelligence tasks, this reward was less than the one for Cen Minglan.

But considering the Cen Minglan case involved more, it was reasonable.

"Sister Ying, there's no need to be unhappy over scum like that."

"However, you need to keep a close eye on your Wang Bo. He's getting more and more popular now; I'm afraid he might get carried away."

Chen Shaoping felt he was really worrying himself to death for his brother; he was a true friend.

Li Qian's eyes widened, and she said with extreme confidence, "If he dares, I'll castrate him. I mean what I say."

"Mhm, that's how it should be," Chen Shaoping nodded.

In Kyoto, Wang Bo, who was currently studying acting, suddenly felt a chill emanating from his crotch, instantly spreading through his entire body.

He couldn't help but shiver.

"Also, Sister Ying, I'm planning to buy stock in 'Shile' Film and Television today."

Li Qian looked up at him, not quite understanding why he wanted to buy stock again.

Although the last purchase was profitable, he hadn't sold yet, so it was equivalent to not having made anything.

"How much are you planning to buy this time? It won't be hundreds of millions, will it?"

"No, this time it's just a small play—ten million will do."

Li Qian looked at him, wanting to say something, but thinking of the previous gains and the company's current cash flow, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright then, ten million this time. Tell Wu Xiaoli yourself."

Chen Shaoping ignored her and sent a message directly to Wu Xiaoli, letting her handle the operation.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A knock sounded at the door.

Li Qian and Chen Shaoping looked toward the door at the same time. Li Qian spoke.

"Come in."

"Mr. Chen, Director Wang Jiawei and Screenwriter Qin Wenwen are looking for you. I just took them to your office, but you weren't there."

Xu Yali pushed the door open and spoke quickly.

"So I brought them here to CEO Li's; I didn't expect you to be in CEO Li's office."

Behind her followed two people, a man and a woman.

Hearing those two names, Chen Shaoping's heart skipped a beat—weren't these the two the intelligence warned him to be careful with?

The system's intelligence really came at the right time.

However, why didn't it just say so clearly? It's getting more and more mischievous.

Li Qian stood up with a smile. "Director Wang and Screenwriter Qin, hello. Please, have a seat."

"Yali, serve some tea."

"Okay, CEO Li."

Qin Wenwen had a faint smile on her face. She lightly touched hands with Li Qian and then quickly withdrew.

"Hello, CEO Li."
