Chapter 445: Fang Sheng, the Scumbag

Zheng Qian guessed correctly.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he still shuddered when he opened a certain short-video platform.

It was just that he had spent too much money buying traffic for Yin Yanyan back then, and now her news was everywhere.

Although those were just shots of her back, many people had still analyzed them.

Whether it was her walking posture, the clothes she was wearing, or comparisons with her in the film crew, and so on.

Zheng Qian lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought.

In fact, there was something in his subconscious that he didn't want to admit.

That was that he was very worried about what Jin Lu would think after seeing these videos.

But what he hated most were the paparazzi who took the photos.

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Qian picked up the phone and started making arrangements.

Modern print media is completely different from traditional newspapers and periodicals.

The Western world might still be able to maintain some characteristics of print media, but most have shifted their focus online; after all, the speed of the internet better suits the timeliness of news.

This newspaper office was quite interesting.

Of course, they also had accounts on short-video platforms and Weibo, but the role of their print media was mainly to cater to the sinking market.

It was filled with things like "Daily Business Opportunities," "Transfer Information," "Temporary Job Recruitment," and so on.

They used gossip and entertainment news to drive traffic, attracting people to buy it, or getting subscriptions from certain organizations.

This time, their boss, Fang Sheng, felt like he had hit the jackpot.

Not only did many big influencers proactively ask for cooperation, but even some brands wanted to advertise using the traffic from their exclusive news, seizing the opportunity to list products in their "shopping carts."

Fang Sheng waved his hand and immediately arranged for a live stream at 8 PM.

He said he would reveal some more unknown insider information in the live stream.

More importantly, he vaguely hinted that he would announce the name of the female lead.

In fact, this was also giving an ultimatum to Manager Nie Kai.

Either spend ten million to buy out the news, or wait to go viral on the internet.

Fang Sheng happily lit a cigarette and looked at Zhang Ergou and Wang Sangou sitting in front of him in the office, feeling a pang of heartache.

After all, they were the two who risked their lives to take those photos, so the money that should be given still had to be given.

"Boss, have they... paid the money?"

Zhang Ergou looked at him expectantly.

Fang Sheng waved his hand.

"After all, it's ten million; how could they just pay it like that? As far as I know, the investor behind this movie is very rich. Have you seen the recent ads? Heh, the money spent on Yin Yanyan is already more than tens of millions."

"They can definitely afford to pay ten million to cut their losses in time."

"It just depends on when they pay."

Actually, there is a real art to extortion.

It's just like kidnapping; you can't just randomly kidnap anyone.

Before taking action, you still have to look at the other party's asset situation.

If they don't have any money, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?

This time it's the same principle.

He was certain that the investor behind them was very rich!

"Hehe, then we'll wait for President Fang's good news."

Zhang Ergou also lit a cigarette, stood up with a smile, and said, "Then this... our two brothers have been a bit tight on money recently, and we've been quite tired during this time..."

Fang Sheng immediately understood what he meant.

He sneered in his heart, but his face showed a very concerned expression, and he immediately took out his phone to start the transfer.

"It's my fault as the boss for not doing enough! Here, I'll transfer twenty thousand yuan to you; go to the Xiaohong Club to find some young models to relax. Remember, you must pick No. 777 and No. 566; these two girls are the fresh tea from recently."

"Fresh tea, you know what I mean?"

As he spoke, Fang Sheng's smile gradually became ambiguous (not really)... twisted.

Watching Zhang Ergou and Wang Sangou leave, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Damn it, getting ten million in total, and I still have to give seven million to these two brothers. Fuck."

Fang Sheng no longer had the heart to stay any longer.

Thinking of his wife at home, he felt a sudden chill.

He took the divorce agreement he had prepared long ago out of the drawer, intending to go back now and force her to sign it and get out.

If the big shot behind Yin Yanyan really paid, then this money would be pre-marital property!

Although the source isn't legitimate, um... it's still pre-marital.

So, get a divorce quickly, and then the three million he gets will be his.

Half an hour later, Fang Sheng returned home.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the scent of food.

"Ah, husband, why are you back so early! I haven't prepared yet!"

"I've seen you coming home very late these past two days; are you starving? Come, sit down and eat some fruit first..."

A woman around 30 years old hurried out of the kitchen.

"Get lost, don't touch me."

Fang Sheng impatiently pushed her away, then slammed the divorce agreement in front of her and said coldly, "Liu Li, I'll give you one minute to consider. Sign it immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite."

Liu Li was stunned.

She smiled miserably and said, "Husband, you're joking with me, right? I..."

[Bang—!]

Before she could finish, Fang Sheng slammed the table hard.

He pointed at Liu Li and said, "Don't be ungrateful. Haven't I brought up the divorce many times? I've specially prepared the agreement today. If you know what's good for you, sign it for me immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Liu Li felt a sense of daze.

She collapsed onto the sofa, trembling as she picked up the divorce agreement, two lines of clear tears streaming down.

"Husband, is there something I didn't do well? You said before... I thought you were joking... so I wanted to do better. Look, there's ginseng chicken soup in the kitchen that I made for you, recently..."

Fang Sheng's patience seemed to have finally run out.

[Slap—]

He slapped her directly across the face.

A bright red handprint immediately appeared on Liu Li's face.

"Damn it, if you keep blabbering, believe it or not, I'll kill you? Sign it quickly, or I'll beat you to death!"

Fang Sheng was getting anxious.

It was almost 8 PM, the time for the live stream.

Thinking that the other party would definitely be preparing to transfer the money, he had to speed up the divorce.

At the very least, he had to get the signature first!

[Knock, knock, knock—]

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

He impatiently glanced at Liu Li, who was covering her face and crying, and walked to the door.

What came into view was a young girl.

It turned out to be the little sister from next door, Xiao Xin.

"What's wrong, Xiao Xin?"

"Brother Fang, I can't find my house keys; can I stay at your place for a while?"

"Ah, so that's it... don't stay here; brother will take you out to get something to eat."

Fang Sheng's abacus was clicking loudly in his mind.

Xiao Xin was very cute and was said to be the class beauty.

Get her drunk tonight, then take her to a hotel... Hehe, anyway, I'm going to be rich soon, I'll move out of here immediately, and her family won't be able to find me.

Or take some photos to threaten her; after that, wouldn't she be at my beck and call?

Just like that, Fang Sheng happily opened the door.

But immediately after, what came into view was a group of strange men, and a fist the size of a sandbag.

Hmm...

It seems there is someone familiar in the crowd?

It seems to be...

The man in the photo?
