196: Talk about cooperation

"Anyway, I still hope you can help arrange a meeting. I really do have business I want to discuss with him."

Zhang Chi spoke very seriously, genuinely hoping to discuss a deal with this mysterious person.

"I am a very sincere person. Trust me, I can definitely secure this cooperation."

Xia Ruoyun hadn't expected the other party to actually want to meet that mysterious person, and her expression instantly turned unpleasant.

"The reason he doesn't want to meet is why he concealed his identity and had me act as the intermediary. If you now actively propose to meet him, wouldn't that be a bit offensive?"

After hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but step forward, approaching Xia Ruoyun.

His best tactic was using his good looks.

Over the years, his tactic had never failed.

Although he didn't know why Xia Ruoyun had become the intermediary, regardless of the reason, it wasn't bad to win over this woman; at least her face was truly beautiful.

Xia Ruoyun saw the face slowly enlarge in front of her and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.

Anyone who could survive in the entertainment industry was a sharp individual. Who wouldn't understand what he meant by his demeanor?

"If you want to meet him, I can help you."

Xia Ruoyun took a step back with some disdain and immediately sent a message to Yuan.

When Su Yue received the message, he also showed a puzzled expression. Ordinary people would just exchange money for information, and many who wanted to curry favor with him would simply pay, feeling a great sense of trust in him.

However, this person was a bit strange; he actually wanted to actively arrange a meeting with him.

But Su Yue didn't refuse.

"Arrange it. Just him and me."

Su Yue wasn't worried about his identity being exposed in front of Xia Ruoyun. In fact, he didn't deliberately intend to hide it. If she discovered it, then so be it. If she didn't, he could continue to conceal it for a while longer.

"Send me this person's name and other information."

After seeing Su Yue's message, Xia Ruoyun immediately sent everything she knew, including his name, phone number, and so on.

Su Yue had extensive information channels, and he easily obtained a report on Zhang Chi.

"This guy is not a good person," Su Yue smiled, a mocking look in his eyes.

"I want to see what you want to find me for."

The meeting was arranged at a nearby restaurant. Su Yue disguised himself as a waiter.

Meanwhile, a man wearing a mask and a suit walked quickly into the restaurant.

If Liang Yuzhu were present, she would definitely recognize this person as Old Sha.

Old Sha and the others had long since recovered from their injuries, so they could now continue to be used by Su Yue.

"You just need to act coolly and follow the arrangements I give you."

There were countless surveillance cameras in this private room. Su Yue could hide in the back, see everything clearly, and relay his decisions to Old Sha through a hidden earpiece.

Old Sha just needed to act it all out.

He was an honest and straightforward man, and standing there, he looked quite imposing.

After getting dressed up, Old Sha calmly walked into private room 666.

He didn't arrive early, timing his arrival perfectly. He originally intended to give this person a show of dominance, but who would have thought that he had already arrived, yet this person still hadn't!

"Isn't this person a bit too arrogant? He asked me to come, but he isn't here himself?"

Old Sha was almost unbelievably shocked. Was this really the attitude of someone asking for a favor?

"We understand what this person means. Don't get too agitated. We can find a way to raise the price later."

Su Yue had initially checked the other party's information and knew he was an unethical person who had done many bad things over the years.

But he hadn't expected this person to dare to vent his temper on him. He truly had some nerve.

Old Sha had only been sitting in the room for a few minutes when he saw a man push the door open and enter.

The man was dressed very discreetly and didn't look like a good person.

"Hello, I am the person you arranged to meet this time."

Zhang Chi's attitude was quite good. He still hadn't taken off his mask and sunglasses and was instead observing Old Sha carefully from the side.

"What is it you want to investigate this time?" Old Sha asked calmly, his face devoid of any extra expression, looking like a person who rarely smiled.

When Zhang Chi saw the other party's appearance, he was a bit intimidated and didn't know what to say.

He had originally thought the other party would be easy to manipulate, which was why he chose to be late, but not too late. This would not only give the other party a show of dominance but also allow him to explain if necessary.

He had always thought this mysterious information agent would be a scrawny man, but who would have thought the other party looked so strong and imposing? Anyone who didn't know might think he was a thug.

"I want to cooperate with you. I can be your agent in the entertainment industry. Although I don't know how you get so much information, I can tell you that I have extensive connections."

"Right now, you can't make much money through Xia Ruoyun. Instead, you can bring in more profit through me. You are someone who wants to make money, aren't you?"

In his heart, he felt that since this mysterious person actively chose to make money through information, it proved he must be very short on money.

Given that, why should he be polite? They could just discuss any cooperation directly.

They were doing business as equals; there was no need to be subservient.

"What can you bring me?" Old Sha asked, following Su Yue's instructions word for word, although he was inwardly somewhat dissatisfied.

Because he was there, he could feel how arrogant Zhang Chi was.

"I can bring you more resources."

"I know more than half of the people in the entire entertainment industry, and even those I don't know will naturally seek me out after I promote them."

In reality, he wanted to gain a certain status. He wasn't considered a powerful person in the entertainment industry at all.

He had always been unable to find a way to rise in status.

But now, he had finally found a great method!

That was to cooperate with this mysterious person. For example, Xia Ruoyun was now a sought-after presence in the industry, and everyone wanted to get her contact information.

If he could successfully replace the other party's identity, wouldn't everything be a little different?

Thinking of this, his expression became excited.

"My requirement isn't high. We can split the profits fifty-fifty."

What he was providing were customer resources, which were very valuable, so he felt that taking half of the fee wasn't a big problem.

When Old Sha heard what the other party said, he almost slammed the table and left, but under Su Yue's persuasion, he calmed down.

"Let's order first. We can't talk on an empty stomach, can we?"

He said casually, picking up the menu and ordering a large number of dishes.

Su Yue, disguised as a waiter, finished taking the order and then quietly added a few more dishes.

Zhang Chi watched as the other party ordered so many dishes, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

As expected of someone who had made a lot of money recently, he was truly generous! He even ordered dozens of expensive dishes!

Things like Australia lobster were ordered as if they were free.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speak.

"Add two more of this king crab for me, and your top-grade XO or Maotai here. Just give me whatever is high-grade."

He wasn't used to drinking these top-grade famous wines, but that didn't stop him from opening a bottle.

The two of them definitely couldn't finish a bottle. When the time came, he could take all these wines with him and bring them out for others to drink next time.

Even if they finished drinking, he could still take the bottle, fill it with water, and show it off.

When Su Yue heard what the other party said, the corner of his mouth curled up. He hadn't expected there to be such a foolish person in the world.

Did this person think he would pay for this?

However, he didn't say much, instead having Old Sha guide him to continue acting.

Old Sha ate and drank heartily throughout, not speaking proactively at all. On the other hand, Zhang Chi couldn't hold back anymore. A very anxious expression appeared on his face, wondering why the other party hadn't brought up cooperation.

"Aren't you interested in this cooperation?" he asked anxiously, and Old Sha raised an eyebrow.

"So, what did you originally come here to investigate?"

Old Sha ate the last piece of Australia lobster and asked curiously.

"I want to investigate someone named Xiao Zhang. This person has done a lot of evil in the entertainment industry and has repeatedly stolen my roles."

"After you find all this information, just make it public. Don't give him any face."

"I want to make this matter as big as possible. I want everyone to know what kind of terrible things this guy has done!"

Old Sha didn't speak, but gently rubbed his fingers together.

"According to industry practice, it requires one million yuan. Pay first, then do the work."

Zhang Chi's mouth twitched when he heard this. "You haven't even started the work yet, and I don't know if you can succeed. How about I give you a deposit of tens of thousands first, and I'll transfer the rest after the matter is done?"

He had originally prepared only tens of thousands and only had that much in his pocket.

This time, he wasn't here to buy information, but to cooperate. In his eyes, as long as they could reach a cooperation, investigating someone would be a matter of minutes, wouldn't it?

Who would have thought this person would be so stubborn?

"Aren't you going to discuss the cooperation in detail?" he pressed. "This matter only has benefits for you, no harm."

Old Sha glanced at the empty plates, then patted his overly full stomach. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Su Yue's voice through the earpiece.

"Tell him about everything he has done, one by one."

Old Sha raised an eyebrow. He knew Su Yue would definitely not let this guy off the hook.

This person had provoked Yuan; he should be prepared for a dead end.

"Do you only have customer resources?" Old Sha asked.

Zhang Chi wasn't ashamed but rather proud, even asking back, "Otherwise?"

Seeing the other party's shameless appearance, Old Sha didn't say much. He simply and neatly pulled out a small notebook from his body. This notebook looked completely out of place with his large and robust physique.

"You once forced a female university student and did some illegal and criminal things, right? Let me see the address..."

"You even did such things to female fans in the restroom?"

Zhang Chi hadn't checked the information in his hand before this and didn't know it was so explosive!

These details, if put into a novel, would be enough to get the book banned directly.

The more Zhang Chi listened, the worse his face became. He hadn't expected this person to have investigated him beforehand!

Now that the other party had so much information, whether they had evidence or not, with the credibility of this identity, even without evidence, everything could be treated as solid proof.

Thinking of this, he felt a little panicked, and even somewhat angry and embarrassed.

"I kindly wanted to come and cooperate with you, wanting to monetize the resources I have with you. In the end, you even investigated me. Are you trying to use this stuff to control me? Let me tell you, I am naturally tough and will never be threatened by anyone!"

His voice was trembling as he spoke, but he still swore confidently, acting as if he wasn't afraid at all.

Old Sha saw that he finally knew fear and slowly picked up the red wine glass in front of him. "I originally intended to cooperate with you, but you insisted on treating me like a monkey. Since that's the case, I will make this evidence public. Consider it your retribution for playing with me."

After saying this, Old Sha directly picked up the bottle of red wine in front of him and left.

The wine had just been opened, and he hadn't even had a few sips yet.

Zhang Chi was completely immersed in pain and surprise, not reacting at all that the other party had already left.

"No, you absolutely cannot make this evidence public. If others find out what kind of person I am, won't I be finished?"

He was very panicked. He still had some status in this industry, but once his actions were made public, it wouldn't be something that could be solved by just leaving the industry. At the very least, he would go to jail.

He stood up in a panic, wanting to stop the other party, but found that the person had already disappeared without a trace.

"Where is he??"

He panicked and grabbed a waiter, asking.

The waiter hadn't even figured out what was going on when he saw him pointing at the empty chair in the room and shouting loudly.

"Where did the person who was eating in there go? He didn't run off without paying, did he? Hurry up and catch him!"
