After saying this sentence.

Zhou Zenghua hung up the phone.

"Something's off, I feel like something's not quite right."

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Chen Fang said.

Song Lanre asked, "What's not right?"

Chen Fang pondered for a moment.

He said, "Now the rumors about Kexin taking drugs are everywhere. Changmao Real Estate has spent a lot of effort and time on this matter. In this situation, they should also be anxious, not blaming us. Just now, his call seemed to tell us that what we need to do now is take responsibility, and other things are not important."

Zhao Yiyi listened.

Nodded and said, "Indeed, from what you say, there is indeed something wrong on Changmao Real Estate's side."

"Alright, Yiyi, go investigate the background of Changmao Real Estate now, figure out its financial and operational status, and we'll meet here tonight to discuss our next steps."

"Okay, I'll go now!"

Zhao Yiyi nodded and then left.

Then.

Chen Fang looked at Song Lanre and said, "Lanre, use your connections in the circle to find out if Changmao Real Estate has contacted anyone else besides us."

"Okay."

Song Lanre nodded, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Brother Fang, I don't quite understand, since you're already the top person in Jindu City, why don't you use your power to investigate? That would make us much more efficient."

Chen Fang smiled slightly.

He said, "That's exactly what I'm afraid of. I just arrived in Jindu City, and this happened. It's as if it was waiting for me all along. As soon as I use my power to intervene, no one can guarantee there won't be another move waiting for us."

"I understand, I'll follow your lead."

Song Lanre never questioned Chen Fang's words.

If he thinks it's suspicious, then it must be suspicious.

Is that really the case?

Of course!

Also located in Pinglu District, Changmao Tower.

At this very moment.

In the chairman's office.

The 45-year-old Zhou Zenghua put down the phone and looked at a captivating woman sitting opposite him.

If an ordinary person were present to see this woman, they would definitely go crazy.

Because she was none other than the highly popular goddess in the entertainment industry—Yu Weimei.

First of all.

Let's talk about this woman, Yu Weimei.

Yu Weimei is 31 this year.

At 18, she debuted as a trainee with an obscure girl group in Korea.

At that time, her looks weren't outstanding, her figure was average, and her singing wasn't much either.

So until she was 24, she was always a third-rate role that didn't warm up the audience.

The singing didn't take off.

So she ventured into the acting business.

The result was also quite poor.

A few films and TV shows where she played secondary roles were unanimously criticized by audiences, mocked for having no acting skills, no beauty, doing nothing but staring blankly.

As a result.

Yu Weimei despondently disappeared for two years.

No one expected that two years later, when she reappeared in the public eye, she had completely transformed.

With advanced cosmetic surgery, her face became extremely alluring.

Her figure also became curvaceous and shapely.

Especially her pair of "headlights" obtained the title of Asia's most beautiful bust at the time.

The same year.

She starred in a lavishly produced film, with numerous big names from the entertainment industry as supporting roles.

This film, after achieving a very high box office, brought her immense popularity, leading to continuous endorsements and appearances, skyrocketing her fame.

To this day, she's become an existence rivaling Qi Kexin.

What brought her career to the peak was a grand wedding three years ago.

Yu Weimei married the entertainment industry's top director, Huang Qidao.

The then 56-year-old Huang Qidao doted on her exceedingly, spending 80 million to arrange a wedding that shocked the entire entertainment industry.

With money, looks, and resources, Yu Weimei finally realized her dream of becoming a top star.

One would think.

Being in the same entertainment circle and at the same fame level, Qi Kexin and Yu Weimei would be quite harmonious.

However, that's not the case.

Their first conflict arose two years ago over a film casting issue.

At that time, it was confirmed that Qi Kexin would play the lead role, contracts were signed, and deposits paid.

Who would have thought, just one week before shooting.

Qi Kexin received a call from the director, stating that the investor wanted to change the lead actress last minute, and replacing Qi Kexin was Yu Weimei.

That film required the actress to gain 30 pounds within a month.

To fit the role well.

Qi Kexin indulged in rich foods daily, aiming to make her figure more in line with the character.

After all the hard work, she even ended up gaining weight.

Yet the role was inexplicably stolen.

Afterward.

The film flopped.

In an interview with reporters asking for her opinion on the matter.

Blunt-speaking Qi Kexin said perhaps if she had played the lead role, the box office wouldn't have been so dismal.

It was this interview.

That brought their relationship to a confrontational state.

Yu Weimei would publicly express her disdain for Qi Kexin.

Qi Kexin never shied away.

Always retaliating, tooth for a tooth.

The two became renowned "sworn enemies" in the entertainment circle.

Almost everyone knew of it.

Right now.

She's sitting on the sofa in Zhou Zenghua's office.

Clearly.

Qi Kexin's current "drug-related" situation must be linked with her.

"Miss Weimei, you've heard it, I've made the call, and I've done what you asked me to do before. Now shall we properly discuss the deal between us?"

As soon as Zhou Zenghua finished speaking.

Yu Weimei's face turned disdainful.

She sneered, "Boss Zhou, didn't we discuss this? I'm doing a free endorsement for your mall. As for the compensation from Lanfang Media, I don't want a penny. What else is there to discuss?"

"NONONO, Miss Weimei, you misinterpret. Our Changmao Real Estate from the beginning aimed to work with Miss Qi Kexin, having a whole team accompany her efforts for so long, but now she's suddenly arrested due to negative news. You should know how great the economic loss is for our group?"

Zhou Zenghua, with his lewd eyes scanning Yu Weimei, licked his lips while speaking.

Yu Weimei frowned and asked, "Then what do you mean, Boss Zhou?"

"Actually, there's no special meaning. I've long admired you, Miss Weimei. When you debuted, I was already your fan and personally witnessed your transformation. As a supporter, I'm naturally happy for you..."

Before he could finish.

Yu Weimei interrupted, "Alright, cut the crap and get straight to your point..."
