Everyone was having dinner when Jiang Xin suddenly said, "Damn, this bastard is even on the trending news. Wang Shao, isn't this explicitly naming you?"
Jiang Xin was holding his phone, scrolling through Weibo, and suddenly exclaimed.
"Which bastard?" Yu Wei hadn't quite understood.
"Who else but that little brat Liu Dong we met yesterday? Take a look at what he posted on Weibo," Jiang Xin said, handing his phone over for everyone to see.
Around 11 PM last night, Liu Dong had posted on Weibo, deliberately "acting cute" for his fans. The post read:
[Is it true that money can get you anything in this world? Yesterday, during filming, I encountered a young master. This young master was so arrogant, he even threatened to kill me. Was it just because I wouldn't give him an autograph? While I don't judge friends by their wealth, you shouldn't bully honest people too much, right?]
The entire Weibo post didn't mention National Little Wang by name, but everyone knew it was referring to National Little Wang.
The last sentence was the punchline: "While I don't judge friends by their wealth." This was clearly aimed at National Little Wang, practically naming him.
"Damn, we were going to deal with this kid in Modu later, and he preempted us by playing the victim?" Qin Dou couldn't help but curse after reading it.
"Haha… 110,000 retweets. Wang Shao, you're famous again. The comments below are all cursing you, your ancestors for eighteen generations have been insulted," Yu Wei couldn't help but laugh out loud after reading it. Liu Dong's character wasn't great, but he was good at pretending.
As a流量明星 (liúliàng míngxīng - idol star/traffic star), he had a group of devoted, brainless fans.
If he farted, hundreds of thousands of his brainless fans would rush to catch the scent.
National Little Wang's face turned grim. He cursed, "Damn it, I'll deal with this kid today. I want to see how much he can jump around."
"This person is so despicable. Just deal with him as you see fit. There's no need to wait until we get back to Modu. As long as he abides by the law and hasn't committed any crimes, then I have nothing to say," Xia Lin also opened her phone and took a look.
She had been present during the entire incident yesterday. Liu Dong was indeed detestable, and even someone with Xia Lin's personality felt angry seeing it.
"Alright, we'll take care of him after breakfast," National Little Wang nodded.
It was quite comical.
Initially, Liu Dong had been worried yesterday. He knew best whether he had evaded taxes.
Money was easy to earn in the entertainment industry, who the hell didn't evade taxes?
His salary was one hundred million, and he had to pay over forty million in taxes, which was a painful sum.
So, wouldn't he evade taxes?
Of course, he would evade taxes.
He used every means possible, such as yin-yang contracts and studio transfers, to evade taxes.
Even if his studio kept a dog, he would list it as an expense for the studio, calling it a "guard dog" that needed good food and drink, costing three million a month.
After a period of fear, Liu Dong was comforted by his boss and became bolder.
By 11 PM, with no action from National Little Wang, he became arrogant.
This led to Liu Dong posting on Weibo.
With his boss backing him, why should he be afraid?
With his boss above and brainless fans below, he felt that National Little Wang wouldn't make a big fuss over such a matter.
After all, how many people in the entertainment industry had argued with National Little Wang?
Weren't they still doing fine?
Although a few who had argued with National Little Wang had faced consequences, it didn't mean everyone would.
So, how could Liu Dong not be bold?
Moreover, he knew that Yi Da today was not the Yi Da of yesteryear; its strength had shrunk by half.
However, he didn't know that this small action would harm not only himself but also his boss.
Many people, due to their lack of virtue despite undeserved fame, exploded in popularity due to capital investment and then became arrogant.
This was why, in recent years, many incidents involved young idol stars.
It was this inflated ego that led to their downfall.
Those veteran actors, in both their lives and conduct, were worth emulating. Crucially, their salaries weren't high, and they never evaded taxes.
These were the true artists.
In contrast, these idol stars, these fresh young faces, could earn as much as twenty or thirty veteran actors, yet they were still not satisfied and went on to evade taxes.
It was as if heaven itself couldn't bear to see it.
National Little Wang immediately started working on the matter after returning to his room.
He first investigated Liu Dong's backer and then examined their income over the years.
Liu Dong's backer's company was in Yanjing, and National Little Wang didn't need to worry about this matter.
These things were handed over to Li Changhe, who handled them as easily as playing a game.
As for finding evidence, Zhou Gangyi took charge directly.
With Zhou Gangyi's involvement, they could find out exactly how many times Liu Dong's boss had, and in what positions, let alone the trivial matter of tax evasion.
Once everything was arranged, it was like a large net being cast upon Liu Dong and his boss.
The two of them were still completely unaware, perhaps even secretly smug.
