People couldn't help but want to get to the bottom of it, and unexpectedly, they actually found something.
Soon, a gossip account online received an anonymous submission, and then published an article titled "Shocking! Taoxun's Apartment Distribution is Because of That Woman Imprisoned in the Police Station!"
This title had too many key elements, and quickly attracted everyone's attention, after which it was forwarded wildly.
"Family members! Hilarious, you absolutely wouldn't guess, the reason for Taoxun's apartment distribution is actually because of that woman imprisoned in the police station!
I have a relative who works at the Kyoto Sunshine District Police Station. On Saturday, he received a report of human trafficking.
The police station was very shocked and happy. Such a performance delivered right to them! But after arriving and taking the person back to the station, they realized that this didn't seem to be the case!
The person arrested was a director of SJ Jewelry, and she was also a foreigner with a not-low status. She was looking for a very famous employee of Taoxun Game to poach them!
Unexpectedly, she didn't succeed in poaching anyone, but was instead arrested as a human trafficker. Moreover, she brought bodyguards to assault the police, and also caused a scene at the police station. My relative was shocked. Are foreigners nowadays not checking the calendar? Do they still think it's a hundred years ago?
It's estimated that this incident of Taoxun's apartment distribution caused this director to lose face, which is why she quickly blackmailed Taoxun."
Following this, the exposé article also detailed some specifics. This director was a supporter of someone from Feilong Live who liked sending out lawyer's letters. That person could cause trouble for so long because of this director's financial support.
However, although she assaulted the police, the circumstances were not serious, and no severe consequences occurred, so she was only fined fifteen days according to public security management regulations.
Everyone put the details together, and it all matched!
It seemed this was the truth!
Suddenly, the discussion became even more lively.
"This should be true. It's said that Taoxun's first batch of apartment distribution was originally scheduled for six months later, but now it's suddenly been moved up. It must be because of this incident."
"Wuwuwu, I'm so envious of Taoxun's employees. Taoxun can go to such lengths to protect its employees. I really regret not studying hard back then; I can't get in even if I want to." xxs
"Hahaha, hilarious. Trying to poach talent and getting arrested as a human trafficker, this director is truly something else."
"SJ Jewelry should be Shan Jin Jewelry, right? I also heard some inside information. It's said that when 'Dream Girl' ended, that director directly went backstage to find several contestants, giving each of them a necklace, wanting to sign them and have them sign with Feilong Pictures!"
"What kind of dream is that? Who would dare wear a necklace from Shan Jin Jewelry outside? It's so déclassé! If these contestants really wore them in public, where would they get any high-level resources in the future? Isn't this harming them?"
"Who's to say? And asking contestants to sign for 'Feilong Pictures'? Couldn't this be something Feilong Live came up with? With this kind of nuisance, what future can they have?"
"I heard there's also something called 'Feilong Game' that's recruiting everywhere now! That's why the director ran to Taoxun employees' homes to poach people. It all fits, family!"
...
Seeing all this heated discussion online, Ou Minghan was furious!
The trolls who had previously slandered Taoxun were indeed hired by him, but this time he really didn't intend to go against Ye Zhi.
Cen Ya saw Taoxun trending on hot searches and thought of her mother, who was locked up in the police station. She became sad and cried incessantly in front of him, even asking him to think of a solution.
What solution could Ou Minghan have?
He could neither rescue the person nor prevent Taoxun from moving. After much thought, all he could do was hire trolls to slander Taoxun, and then let Cen Ya see that not that many people supported Taoxun, and that some were still clear-headed and not fooled by Taoxun's high benefits.
But Ou Minghan never expected that as the matter escalated, the public opinion would actually shift towards Feilong Pictures and Feilong Game!
Now, people were starting to thoroughly investigate the backgrounds of Feilong Pictures and Feilong Game, calling them "amateur productions," and some were even initiating boycotts online.
Actually, these were still acceptable. Being notorious was also a form of fame. For Ou Minghan, what mattered most was whether there was attention and whether money could be made.
However, a group of people directly said that given Feilong Live's character, the games and movies they produced must be improper, and they would monitor Feilong Pictures and Feilong Game's products to report them!
This was the death knell for Ou Minghan!
Because he really intended to go down this path. He saw how much money Taoxun's games were making, even with those paper-thin characters wearing so much. So, if he had people draw a batch of characters that were scantily clad and seductive, wouldn't the money come rolling in?
Now, he had already invested a lot of money in illustrators, and had received many drafts. Was he supposed to change them now? Redrawing them would cost money! But if he didn't change them, he would definitely be targeted by these people!
But as if he wasn't troubled enough, Cen Ya, because this public opinion had involved Ni Na, asked him to find a way to suppress the matter.
Ou Minghan was extremely annoyed. Why did Cen Ya always ask him to find solutions for everything? Did she really think he could do anything?
But he had to find a solution for this matter, otherwise it wouldn't work. At times like these, he needed to maintain Cen Ya's trust in him.
Therefore, Ou Minghan exposed a scandal of a top celebrity cheating. The major platforms were instantly flooded with this news, finally suppressing the public opinion related to Ni Na.
However, that top celebrity also used their connections to find out that Ou Minghan had leaked the information. This incident made Ou Minghan infamous within the industry. Some artists who had received invitations from Feilong Pictures either directly refused cooperation or immediately quadrupled their fees.
Ou Minghan was both angry and helpless, and Feilong Pictures fell into a state of stagnation for a while.
As for Ye Zhi, she completely ignored the public opinion online. After all, she was busy helping employees move.
She also visited the employee building and saw her own apartment.
The apartment was decorated the same as the other employees', but it had a large terrace.
Ye Zhi looked at the terrace and decided to ask the housekeeper to visit more often, to plant flowers there and turn it into a beautiful garden.
Over the course of half a month, Taoxun's first batch of employees all moved into the employee building.
Meanwhile, Ni Na, who had been in the police station for half a month, was finally picked up by Cen Ya and Ou Minghan, looking dejected.
She hadn't suffered any hardships inside, but being locked up had been a huge blow to her and left her feeling very frustrated.
"Why did you only pick me up now?" Ni Na said indignantly.
"Mom, we really had no choice. The police absolutely refused to release me early..." Cen Ya explained aggrievedly.
