84: Chapter 84 The Art of Leadership Communication

"What?"

"A woman?"

Tian Jun was stunned.

He looked at Chen Shaoping in disbelief.

"Where did you get this news? Is it reliable?"

"Don't worry about where the intel came from, but it's definitely accurate."

Chen Shaoping said categorically.

"Who? Who exactly is it?"

"You'd better see for yourself."

Chen Shaoping didn't feel like explaining and sent the evidence directly to Tian Jun.

The more Tian Jun read, the more surprised he became.

If it weren't for Chen Shaoping, he would never have guessed in a million years that the person behind the scenes was a washed-up female star.

He really wanted to know how Chen Shaoping obtained these things.

Looking at Chen Shaoping sitting leisurely on the sofa, his classmate was becoming increasingly mysterious.

But it wasn't bad; he was using the intelligence Chen Shaoping provided.

Not only did he earn merits, but he was also praised by leadership multiple times.

"With this evidence, we can make an arrest, right?"

Chen Shaoping asked after seeing Tian Jun finish scanning the documents.

"If we can't make an arrest with this evidence, then that would be truly strange."

"I'll head back first; wait for my good news."

Tian Jun stood up to leave, his heart only focused on solving the case quickly.

"Wait a minute, what's the rush! Do you know where Cen Minglan is?"

Tian Jun's eyes lit up. "Da Ping, don't tell me you know?"

"Tell me quickly!"

"I don't know where she is right now, but she's taking the 15:34 flight to leave the country."

Seeing Tian Jun's anxious look, Chen Shaoping told him the intel directly.

Tian Jun glanced at the time; there were still over two hours left.

Enough!

He quickly tapped Chen Shaoping's forehead. "Thanks, Da Ping, I'll treat you to dinner later."

He had already left the office.

Chen Shaoping cursed, "Four Jun, you bastard. Taking advantage of me."

Meanwhile.

Tiantian Media Company.

A group of people were holding a meeting in the conference room.

Everyone's faces were grim, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

The air conditioning vents were blowing cold air with a 'whoosh,' sending the already icy scene straight to rock bottom.

"President Xu, I suggest following Xu Kun's opinion. For the next episode of the CCTV program, let Teacher Liu Xue and Teacher Ji Ping rest?"

Manager Cai, the head of the Artist Department, said with a smile to Xu Jie, who sat in the head seat.

His already small eyes looked like they had narrowed into a single line now.

When his obese body moved slightly, the chair beneath his buttocks made an unbearable 'creak' sound.

Sitting at the end, Xu Kun felt secretly smug hearing Manager Cai's words.

He also cast a secret glance at Liu Xue and Ji Ping sitting opposite him.

"Fatty Cai, Xu Kun is messing around and you're following suit?"

"the singer & songwriter focuses on original songs; the core is the songwriter, not the singer."

"The most suitable people in our company to participate in this show, as discussed when we first received CCTV's invitation, are Liu Xue and Ji Ping."

Zhang Meng, the manager of the Composition Department, slapped the table and barked at Manager Cai.

Zhang Meng was a straight shooter; someone criticizing his Composition Department without any reason made him very unhappy.

"Was the work 'the great yellow river' completed by Liu Xue and Ji Ping in the last episode not good?"

"On the contrary, for a show like CCTV's, I think we should send singers with strong abilities."

"We can't treat a CCTV program as a joke just to let Xu Kun get some prestige because of his high traffic."

Xu Jie at the head seat took a sip of tea, glanced sideways at Lu Xueming, and asked calmly.

"Manager Lu, what impact has the last episode's broadcast had on the company?"

Lu Xueming felt an inexplicable tremor in his heart; Xu Jie's seemingly casual words gave him a heavy sense of pressure.

He began to report cautiously.

"President Xu!"

"Setting aside Xu Kun's fans, most netizens think Liu Xue and Ji Ping's song was written very well, even surpassing the second place."

"Quite a few netizens are accusing Xu Kun of being disrespectful to seniors on the show, having poor singing skills, and only knowing how to shift blame."

"But these netizens are quickly attacked by Xu Kun's fans. Liu Xue and Ji Ping are also being attacked, and some even went to attack the judge, Teacher Han Hong."

"The actual impact on the company isn't large; the biggest issue is the perception that there's internal trouble and that the people sent there are in discord."

"They say a combination like this deserves to not get first place."

Everyone heard Lu Xueming's words; he was stating facts, and no one opposed him.

"So, the three people you carefully selected went to the CCTV program and ended up tarnishing the company's image, is that right?"

"Tell me, why is this?"

Xu Jie's voice wasn't loud, but it struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.

"Manager Cai, top-tier traffic is good."

"But how to manage top-tier traffic is also a field of study."

"You've been somewhat indulgent with Xu Kun's behavior."

Manager Cai nodded repeatedly, continuously agreeing.

Xu Jie glanced at Xu Kun and continued in a cold tone, "Xu Kun, manage your persona well."

"As top-tier traffic, you should naturally be a role model in everything."

"You should learn some manners, not just toward people in the company, but toward outsiders as well."

Xu Kun verbally agreed but was dismissive in his heart.

He felt that no matter what happened, as long as he posted one video of himself acting cute, his fans would find ways to help him achieve his goals.

As long as the fans were still there, he had enough confidence.

Xu Jie looked at Liu Xue and Ji Ping again and said calmly, "Teachers, the company's image was damaged because of the three of you. I hope the three of you will be the ones to redeem it."

After saying his final sentence, he swept his gaze over Manager Cai and Zhang Meng before leaving the conference room.

With one sentence, he tied the three of them together again, and no one dared to object.

Manager Cai and Zhang Meng looked at each other, both revealing a hint of worry.

Don't be fooled by Xu Jie's nonchalant way of speaking; those familiar with him knew this was the calm before the storm.

If the performance of the three in the next episode didn't satisfy him...

...then the consequences might not be as simple as they were now.

This was the art of leadership communication—pointing things out without saying them explicitly.

On the other side.

After Tian Jun returned to the station, he immediately reported the situation to Director Lu.

As for how the evidence was obtained, he naturally said it was sent directly to him via an anonymous tip from a well-wisher.

Lu Sihai had a solemn expression and pondered for a moment.

"Little Tian, they are currently interrogating the criminal ringleader captured from Tianyu Company last time. Go and see if you can get anything useful out of him."

"I will deploy the arrest plan."

Coming out of the director's office, Tian Jun headed straight for the interrogation room. Tan Zhuo stood at the door with a dark face, smoking gloomily.

"What's the situation?" Tian Jun asked.

"You could say he's cooperative, but when asked who the person behind the scenes is, he knows nothing."

"You could say he's uncooperative, yet he's told us everything else."

"Deputy Captain Tian, I think he really knows nothing about the person behind the scenes."

Tan Zhuo gave his judgment, his eyes bloodshot; it seemed he had pulled another all-nighter.

"Alright! You go back and rest first; leave the rest to us."

"Okay, Deputy Captain, I'm heading back. Call me if anything comes up."

Tian Jun walked into the interrogation room, where the two Police Officers inside were just about to stand up and greet him.

Tian Jun signaled with his hand for them to continue and ignore him.

The criminal looked very refined, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

He gave a huge yawn.

It seemed he hadn't slept very well these past two days, as he looked quite exhausted.

Tian Jun walked over, took out a cigarette, lit it, and placed it in the criminal's mouth.

The criminal inhaled greedily twice.

He even spoke politely.

"Thank you!"

"I'll ask you one more question. You should at least know whether the person behind the scenes is male or female," Tian Jun asked.

"Oh! Do you police suspect he's not a man? But every time he met me, he was dressed as a man."

The criminal sighed, his eyes wandering as if he were constantly reminiscing.

"Wait, no..."

(Requesting everything! Thank you!!)
