PS: The last sentence disappeared last night. I feel like my life is gloomy.

Li Bingxian was a little confused recently.
Of course, the story in the video was true.
Li Bingxian had thought that it was normal. What was his status?
He was the top actor in Korea and had already made it to Hollywood.
Who was the other party?
One was a small idol, and the other was a young model who was not presentable.
Logically speaking, they would have crawled into his bed if he wanted to. How many people in the world would not do that, let alone in the Korean entertainment industry?
He didn't think that he was special at all. He didn't expect that the two women would secretly take a video of him even though they didn't know what was good for them!
So what if they took a video? Logically speaking, the two women would have come to him with the video to extort money or other things, such as the back door of a movie role. If they could not come to an agreement, then the video would be exposed. They could also gain popularity and hype.
That was normal, right?
But damn, why is this not following common sense at all?
No one came to him to negotiate, but the video was already spread all over the Internet?
Li Bingxian was not stupid. He quickly realized that it was because he had offended someone. Who could he have offended recently?
Wasn't it because he had offended Zheng Mengzhun and Tang Jinyan because he had filmed The Insider?
It was not like he did not know about the recent tragedy in the showbox.
Thinking about it, he was really unlucky. It was not like he had not filmed such sensitive things in the past, but at least the other party would come to negotiate. Whether it was bribery or threats, there were rules to follow. Who would have thought that it would be so direct this time?
Could they still be reasonable?
He was just filming a video. He was not the mastermind.
Li Bingxian felt wronged. He looked for Quan Zhengyang, a big shot he knew, and cried, hoping to be mediated.
Quan Zhengyang received the call and was silent for a while before saying, "What's the use of not being the mastermind? Who told you to film it?
Haha, you even acted as Tang Jiu … He did not chop off your hand like in the movie. It's already considered that he did not treat you as the mastermind and gave you a light punishment. "
Li Bingxian was indignant. "Tang Jinyan is now a big family with a big business. He is no longer a gangster. He should be reasonable, right?
Zheng Mengzhun will not play like him. "
Quan Zhengyang said leisurely, "Reason?
In Tang Jinyan's eyes, he has never bothered to talk to you about Korea. "
He paused for a moment, and then continued, "You've all failed to realize one thing … There's now a unified underground faction in Hanyang, and the way they do things is completely different from what they've been doing for the past few decades.
If you don't ask for Tang Jinyan's opinion in advance, you can only end up like this. "
Li Bingxian was startled, and a chill ran down his spine.
Indeed, it's not just me. Perhaps there are many people who still don't realize that Seoul is different from the past few decades.
Once a unified underground force with enough strength to challenge the mayor was born, other principles would naturally be born.
It was not Korea's logic, but Tang Jinyan's logic.
The sky … seemed to have unknowingly changed, but there were still many people who couldn't tell.
*****
Tang Jinyan and Zheng Mengzhun worked together to execute a series of brutal attacks. From the president of Hao Liyou to the actors in the film, all of them were targeted for revenge. Anyone with a discerning eye would have been able to tell that this was a vicious revenge, but the problem was that the most important point of this series of actions was all real.
Hoye-yo Tan Zhekun's 30 billion secret funds were real, and Li Bingxian's video couldn't be any more real. There was irrefutable evidence. Who would care if this was revenge or not?
The crude methods used in the process were no longer loopholes. At least, it was much more advanced than the baseless defamation in movies.
There was no need to explain which side the public would believe.
Pusan had gone for wool and come home shorn.
Not only did they fail to achieve their goal of defaming Zheng Mengzhun and Tang Jinyan, but they also made Park Won Chun doubt his ability to be the mayor. As for the showbox getting into trouble, they couldn't care less.
For the first time, there were differences of opinion in their alliance.
From Lee Kang-hwan's point of view, this matter wasn't over yet. They still had to take revenge.
Moon Jae-in objected. "The key now is to protect Park Won Chun's image. It's not good to start a war.
The public opinion poll is imminent. If something bad happens again, it'll be a loss for the bigger picture.
When can't we take revenge? "
Lee Kang-hwan sneered. "If we can't play with the bigger picture, we can at least play with the smaller ones.
Tang Jinyan knows how to play with other people's dirt. Can't we do the same?
We're better at this than he is, okay?
Do you really think that everyone under Xincun Entertainment is as clean as a white lotus? "
Moon Jae-in frowned. "Those Best Actors … Take Lee Jae-yong and Lee Jeong-jae for example. We still haven't found any dirt on them. What can you do?
It's meaningless to make up stories. Tang Jinyan's material is real. It's obvious who's better. "
"It's not easy to find dirt on those Best Actors. Unfortunately, they don't only have Best Actors under them.
That guy, Park Youtian, right? Isn't his' Threedays' a hit now?
We can make an issue out of him. "
"Do we have dirt on him?"
"Why not?
This guy is even more impressive than Li Bingxian. At least Li Bingxian asked a few questions to test the waters, but Park Youtian just dragged him to the toilet and gave him some money to settle the matter.
It's not the first time this has happened. It's only because Baek Chang-soo has protected him well that there haven't been any problems so far. "
"Is there any conclusive evidence?"
"I definitely don't have a video or anything, but there's more than one witness."
"… I don't think so."
Moon Jae-in sighed. He really wasn't interested in this kind of low-class duel that involved slandering a few small-time celebrities. Tang Jinyan did it to establish his authority. Why was Lee Kang-hwan so hung up on this?
So what if he killed Park Youtian? Would it have any real impact on Tang Jinyan?
It was completely off topic!
But seeing how excited Lee Kang-hwan was, he couldn't be bothered to keep arguing with him over such a trivial matter. He could only say, "Do as you wish."
Showbox's president, Liu Zhengxun, who was present at the meeting, was livid. "The two of you have been talking for so long, but it seems like neither of you have mentioned how we should deal with Showbox's current situation."
Both of them looked a little awkward. After a while, Moon Jae-in said, "We're doing our best to resolve President Tan's matter in the near future.
30 billion isn't a huge sum, so it's not difficult to smooth things over. "
"Then what about Showbox's predicament?"
Moon Jae-in pondered. He felt that as long as they could hold on until Park Won Chun was re-elected, Seven Stars would enter Seoul and compete with Tang Jinyan, many things would be easily resolved. He really didn't want to go to war at this time to do something to turn the tide for Showbox.
But it wasn't good to say this directly, so he could only change his words. "Then … Showbox's predicament can be resolved as long as we remove The Insider's screen and replace it with something else …"
Liu Zhengxun said coldly, "Then how are we going to recover Showbox's losses?"
Moon Jae-in said calmly, "Recovering losses is a business issue. President Liu is a professional in this area, so we'll do our best to support it …"
That was equivalent to not saying anything, and Liu Zhengxun almost flipped the table.
'F * ck, I've been blocked by the mafia for almost a week now, and all the cinemas under my company are deserted. The damage to my reputation is immeasurable, and the stock market has fallen so much that I want to cry. You're telling me that this is a business issue?
You're telling me that this is a business failure? '
Actually, Liu Zhengxun's request wasn't too much. He just hoped that they could come up with some measures to save the market and recover the stock price that had fallen to rock bottom. This wasn't difficult for a political party.
But he also knew what these politicians were weighing. They clearly didn't want to be involved.
His heart was filled with grief and indignation. If you really want to talk about a mistake in the management strategy, it's wrong to believe that you bunch of disloyal bastards can hold up the fort!
