This time, it wasn't Tang Jinyan who was fighting alone.
Zheng Mengzhun was furious at home. He was even angrier than Tang Jinyan. He didn't need Tang Jinyan to deal with official matters. If he couldn't cooperate, then Zheng Mengzhun shouldn't be running for office.
CJ was also more active than anyone else in cracking down on showboxes. He collected and provided evidence, and for a while, he and Zheng Mengzhun had become good buddies.
Showbox's cinemas were still being harassed by the mafia. Every day, there would be a different movie theater. Their Busan accent was even better than the Busan people's. People who knew the inside story didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Moreover, these gangsters were very slippery. They would always be able to leave before the police arrived, leaving behind a ground full of chicken feathers and a furious audience.
The police department was under a lot of pressure. The director said that no matter who was sent, the result would be the same … Even the heavyweight investigation team wouldn't make a difference.
It could only be said that the police force was infiltrated like a sieve. If they wanted to be effective, they had no other choice but to reshuffle the cards.
The mayor was under even more pressure.
He couldn't get rid of the "incompetent" label. He also couldn't send the Seven Stars, who had been quietly developing in Seoul. If it turned into a gang war, then it wouldn't just be "incompetent," it would be dereliction of duty.
The mayor of Seoul was once again at his wit's end.
While Showbox was being tormented, the owner of Showbox, the president of Hooryeo Club, Tan Zhekun, was summoned by the prosecutor's office for allegedly raising 30 billion won during the election year. This amount was nothing compared to Lee Jae-hyun's, but it was interesting under the current situation.
"They're still talking about other people's political corruption in their cinemas. It turns out that they're the dirty ones."
"No wonder they're using underhanded means to force people to watch it. They think they can clear their names by smearing other people's names?"
"Disgusting … It also means that they have An Shangjiu under their control."
This was the general view of the netizens. They didn't even have the interest to wait for the results of the prosecutor's office.
Showbox's reviews fell to the lowest point overnight. Almost no one went to watch "The Insider". The cinemas were empty, and the attendance could only be described as miserable.
Lee Kang-hwan also smashed a few cups at home, "Damn it, damn it, this bunch of trash!
Park Won Chun is also trash! "
They worked so hard to make a movie, and it wasn't just to smear people.
Such a huge investment was basically wasted... even though Lee Kang-hwan was rich, he was still heartbroken.
In Pusan, it was useless to have a full house. Everyone knew that the real winner was in Seoul. But even the Mayor of Seoul was at his wit's end, so what could they do in Pusan?
It really made people speechless that a dignified mayor couldn't win against the underworld.
Other than Seoul, there were also many discordant voices in other places. Jeju Island was so intense that it made people gasp. A few cinemas in Jeju Island were smashed to pieces, and there was not a single person in Jeju Island who made any noise. Everyone was indifferent to this.
Lee Kang-hwan knew that Tang Jinyan's most hardcore supporter, Lee Eun-suk, was in Jeju Island. This guy was a violent gang, and he was the representative of Tang Jinyan's military force.
What was even more disgusting was that Gaoyang, Jeonju, and other places even posted righteous voices saying, "We're a cultural city, and we firmly reject such unobjective and untruthful films that smear the image of others." They even posted it on the City Hall's website. Lee Kang-hwan almost died of disgust.
Everyone knew that this wasn't the end.
Showbox was just a distribution company, but it suffered such a tragic retaliation. Even the boss behind it was summoned by the prosecutor's office.
The real target of revenge was still in Pusan. Lee Kang-hwan didn't even know what Tang Jinyan, who never played by the rules, would do this time.
Every time he fought with Tang Jinyan, he couldn't win. Lee Kang-hwan even started to feel guilty.
Tang Jinyan didn't do anything.
"Revenge is a dish best served cold."
In the chairman's office of the New Village Group, Tang Jinyan said to Lee Yoon-rim, "There's no point in starting a war with Pusan now. Winning the mayoral election is better than any revenge.
But I suddenly realized that we can use this matter to get Showbox. "
Lee Yoon-rim's eyes lit up. "That makes sense … it makes a lot of sense."
"This is an opportunity for us to establish our own distribution company …" Tang Jinyan muttered to himself. "Your father will be happy to see this happen, because it means that we have the possibility of parting ways with CJ.
If we can get help from the Li family, it seems quite feasible. "
Lee Yoon-rim smiled. "On one hand, we're still working with CJ, but on the other hand, we're thinking about parting ways with CJ."
Tang Jinyan was surprised. "That's how the world works. You won't get far if you play with emotions in the business world."
"Then … I'll contact Fujin Oni?"
"Yes. Oh right, what's the situation with Li Bingxian?
Is there anything fun? "
"Yes."
Lee Yoon-rim smiled. "Do you remember that time when we were watching music bank on KBS, Jeonguang Town pointed out a little dummy for you to know?"
"I remember a little. He said that the captain was Park Ji-yeon, right? What about that group?"
"That group was called GLAM, and one of their members was called Jin Duoxi." Lee Yoon-rim blinked. "She had a very interesting video in her hands."
"Although there are many Korean artistes, the circle is still so small. Who would have thought that one day, we would have a connection with this small group?" Tang Jinyan smiled and said, "Is it this Jin Duoxi and Li Bingxian's short film?"
"No, but the effect might be better than the video." Lee Yoon-rim took out her phone and played a video.
Tang Jinyan watched it with interest. In the video, Li Bingxian was asking two young girls, "When was your first time?" "Which do you value more, face or sex?" "Which part of the male body makes you excited?" At the same time, his hands were touching randomly.
The more Tang Jinyan watched, the happier he was. He couldn't help but laugh. "This Li Bingxian knows how to play, even better than me.
Indeed, the effect is better than the video. That video can be said to be seduced by the girl, but this really proves that this guy has a problem with his own character. "
Lee Yoon-rim's pretty face was red. She rolled her eyes at him and snatched back her phone. "You have the nerve to talk about others?"
Tang Jinyan complained. "How am I as wretched as him?"
"Yes, you never ask, you only do."
"Then …" Tang Jinyan leaned over and deliberately asked, "Face or sex, which one do you value more?"
Lee Yoon-rim smiled. "Then which part of the female body makes you excited?"
Tang Jinyan's face was serious. "Daji, probably."
"Pfft …" Lee Yoon-rim laughed so hard that she bent over.
