Chapter 918 ·Entertainment Industry

As if to demonstrate her capability, Bai Ruoxue's investigation was detailed to an almost frightening degree.

It even recorded Wu Xukun's hobbies, what type of women he liked, and how many women he went through each week in detail.

Besides this, what caught Chen Fan's attention most was Wu Xukun's background.

This guy was no ordinary person, his grandfather had once held a position in Beijing's key departments, truly a big shot.

Although the old man was gone now, his influence remained, and many of the leaders he had promoted back then were still in power.

Combined with the fact that many members of the Wu family held positions in public service.

So even though Old Man Wu was gone, Wu Xukun still maintained a strong position in Beijing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the title of Young Master Wu.

Besides his impressive background, this guy was particularly skilled at networking and building relationships, dealing in official documents as a broker.

Over time, this actually helped Wu Xukun build a reputation in this industry.

Many people who couldn't handle certain business directly would hand it all over to him, and Wu Xukun could handle everything cleanly.

Later, Wu Xukun discovered another way to make money.

Just helping outsiders get approvals was too slow and earned too little, it was better to just kill the golden goose and take all the eggs at once.

After all, it wasn't his own business, so he didn't feel bad about selling it off.

Thus, Wu Xukun completely went down a different path.

Over these years, many people were ruined by him, leading to bankruptcies and suicides.

Previously, some businessmen had tried to use their connections to seek revenge against Wu Xukun.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xukun's backing was even stronger, not only did nothing happen to him, but that businessman ended up being imprisoned for several years and eventually became mentally ill.

The files didn't specify who was backing Wu Xukun, but it could be guessed that it must be some powers even greater than the Wu family's background.

Wu Xukun was just the front man, while the truly terrifying figures were those unseen in the background.

After spending half an hour reviewing the materials, Chen Fan expressionlessly put the documents back into the folder and locked it in his desk drawer.

He didn't care how many hands were behind Wu Xukun.

Chen Fan now just wanted Wu Xukun dead.

After careful consideration, Chen Fan took out his phone and found a number.

"Hello, it's me."

"Come to Yunhai tomorrow. I have something to discuss with you."

After hanging up, Chen Fan fell silent.

The call was made to Li Yang.

He had previously played an important role during Chen Fan's business war with the Zhao family of Yunhai.

However, when things escalated later and involved provincial leaders, to protect Li Yang, Chen Fan had arranged for him to go to Pudong. And put him in charge of security work at the Qifan Construction branch.

There was no choice, as Chen Fan really had no one else he could use.

Guo Shuai and Luo Wenjie, though they managed entertainment venues and had many capable subordinates.

But dealing with someone like Wu Xukun, street gang fights wouldn't work.

Besides this, most of Chen Fan's power was in business.

Chen Fan didn't have any real dark methods.

After much consideration, only Li Yang was most suitable.

Because he was previously a private investigator with some experience.

The office door was suddenly pushed open.

Ding Dian who entered was clearly startled.

"When... when did you get back?"

Looking at the coffee cup in her hand, Chen Fan teased: "Is this how you work when the boss isn't around?"

"I was wondering why the coffee in my office kept disappearing, turns out you were stealing it."

Ding Dian snorted, "Nonsense. The coffee in your office was bought by me in the first place, I haven't even asked you to reimburse it yet."

She extended her delicate hand toward Chen Fan.

"Pay up! Reimbursement!"

Chen Fan's face turned awkward, coincidentally his phone rang.

He hurriedly pretended to answer the phone.

"Hello! Hello? The signal isn't good. Wait a moment, I'll go outside to talk."

Seeing Chen Fan's sneaking away posture, Ding Dian couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright. Stop acting. Just take it here. You want the employees to see you make a fool of yourself?"

Chen Fan then stood at the doorway, his expression becoming a bit more serious.

"Okay. I'll be right there."

After hanging up, Chen Fan looked at Ding Dian, "I need to go to Feifan Media, are you busy now? Want to come along?"

Ding Dian was curious: "About the variety show?"

Chen Fan shook his head: "No. I previously selected two scripts, one of which Wen Wan will be filming this year, and the other is a TV series I'm very optimistic about, I plan to invest in it."

Hearing this, Ding Dian became interested.

"TV series? You're letting Wen Wan act in a TV series?"

"Let's go. We'll talk while walking."

After leaving, Chen Fan explained to Ding Dian: "Wen Wan's fame is sufficient now, she needs to make breakthroughs in her acting skills."

"Don't look down on TV series, some TV series' quality isn't inferior to movies."

"I understand that. But..." Ding Dian said softly: "Wen Wan just won Best Actress, and her first project after that is a TV series, this would be seen as self-degrading in the industry."

"After all, in this circle, film actors' status is far above TV series actors."

Chen Fan waved his hand with a smile: "No need to care about that."

"Wen Wan was never just an idol celebrity. I want to shape her into a truly skilled actress. Not just someone who relies on fan economics."

Ding Dian glanced at Chen Fan, "Looks like you two have a good relationship, you can even make decisions for her."

Chen Fan maintained his composure: "I'm the boss, she's my employee. Of course she has to listen to what I say."

Ding Dian smiled.

"That's only because you're Feifan Media's boss. If it were someone else, you think they would stay?"

"With Wen Wan's current fame, she could totally go independent or sign with a bigger company."

"I guess she stayed because of you."

Chen Fan was displeased: "Couldn't it be that Wen Wan has good vision and sees that Feifan Media will definitely become a top entertainment media company in the future?"

Ding Dian looked at Chen Fan: "Do you believe that yourself?"

"Of course I believe it."

Chen Fan nodded.

Because that's exactly what he thought.

In the future, Feifan Media would be built into a comprehensive media company covering advertising, entertainment, film and television, music, variety shows... all aspects without dead angles.

In the coming decades, among emerging industries, the entertainment industry would undoubtedly firmly occupy a position.

In the reception room, the representatives for the two scripts sat nervously.

They never imagined their scripts would be selected by Feifan Media.

What was even more unexpected was that the Feifan Media manager had just told them that the group CEO Chen Fan might come to meet with them personally.

Thinking of Chen Fan, they couldn't help feeling excited and nervous.

That was a true big shot, a young person who had repeatedly created miracles in business.

Just then, the reception room door was pushed open.

"Everyone, let me introduce you, this is our group president, Mr. Chen."

In a flash, all the guests present nervously stood up.
