Dai Jili sighed, "Everyone thought of this."
"But when we caught Zhong Xiang, most of the evidence of his crimes had already been destroyed."
"Keeping him in 741 Prison for 12 years is already considered a heavy sentence. We can't keep him locked up for life."
"Damn, now Little Bird Yang is in trouble. I should call him again."
Just as Wu Yuanzhong picked up the satellite phone, Dai Jili reached out and held his hand down.
"Let's not rush. Zhong Xiang has been cultivating himself in prison for years. He might have turned over a new leaf."
"As long as he behaves, we should cut him some slack and not force Yang Fei to act rashly and push him to rebel."
Wu Yuanzhong thought and thought again, finally putting down the phone with a long sigh.
Dai Jili also sighed and quietly recited a line.
"With great sighs, I wipe away tears and lament the hardships of life."
While the two leaders of the Hidden Dragon Nine Divisions were feeling sentimental, Yang Fei had already arrived at Starlight Entertainment Company to officially start work.
This guy inadvertently tricked three top experts into joining Yinxue Tower, feeling extremely relieved.
An Zichen and Xue Mingtai were very familiar with the Martial Studies from the Yan Ru Scripture.
As soon as they entered Yinxue Tower, Yang Fei arranged for them to serve as senior National Arts consultants at Martial God Technology Development Co.
Thus, the Martial God Space system, which was not comprehensive, was improved with the theoretical guidance of the Yan Ru Scripture mastered by An Zichen and Xue Mingtai.
Of course, given An Zichen and Xue Mingtai's status, they couldn't be expected to work and clock in daily like regular employees at Martial God Technology Co., Ltd.
Cheng Dayou and others would only invite An Zichen and Xue Mingtai to the company to offer guidance when they encountered particularly confusing issues.
Yang Fei, on the other hand, dove headfirst into Starlight Entertainment Company, practically drooling as he entered.
So many big beauties, little beauties, long-legged beauties, busty beauties—it's practically heaven for a rogue!
Even if he did nothing, counting beauties with his fingers every day would be immensely satisfying.
Since Starlight Entertainment expelled some misbehaving artists, they underwent half a month of military training.
The company completely revitalized, under Chen Ke's iron-handed management, already exuding the demeanor and scale of a major corporation.
However, packaging artists remained a challenge.
In the current film industry, newcomers emerge frequently but struggle to make it big, and the same few stars remain in the spotlight.
Among the most popular stars, the Moon Goddess Xu Zhiqing is one of them.
Yang Fei's feelings for Xu Zhiqing are complicated.
He can no longer remember his past with Xu Zhiqing, but he can sense her affection and love for him.
This Goddess, with millions of fans, will do anything for Yang Fei.
She can endorse a relatively unknown Yalan Fashion, shoot an MV, and participate in fashion shows, just because of a word from Yang Fei.
She can also offend entertainment companies in the circle and terminate her collaboration with internet celebrity Yang Qiqi due to a word from Yang Fei.
In short, this Goddess, like the Moon, is almost entirely obedient to Yang Fei and won't defy him in the slightest.
Of course, Chen Ke is unaware of Yang Fei's personal affairs.
Only Su Yinxue knows that Yang Fei and Xu Zhiqing's relationship is not simple, though she knows only a part of it.
At this moment, Chen Ke is pondering hard about how to recommend the company's newly promoted artist, Si Ruoxi, to join Xu Zhiqing's new movie.
Xu Zhiqing's new films always have high box office appeal and popularity.
Even if Si Ruoxi just makes an appearance, she'll become familiar to the masses.
Si Ruoxi, having just entered the entertainment circle, starting off by connecting with Xu Zhiqing gives her a very high starting point.
Chen Ke is doodling across a sheet of notepaper with her pen.
Several planning ideas flash through her mind instantly, but each has pros and cons, leading her to shake her head in dismissal.
At this moment, Yang Fei pushes the door open, a cigarette from a ten-yuan pack of Red River dangling from his mouth.
He lazily settles on the sofa.
"Director Chen, what's up? You seem quite unhappy."
Chen Ke casts him a sidelong glance and suddenly notices a faint kiss mark near the bottom of his ear.
Her heart skips a beat, and after looking closely, she finds another light kiss mark on his cheek.
Chen Ke's eyebrows furrow, and she approaches, suddenly grabbing Yang Fei's ear.
"Little Bird Yang, you've been troubling my artists again, haven't you?"
Yang Fei yelps in pain.
"Let go, why are you so savage?"
Chen Ke arches her brows, "Tell me clearly, how did you get that lipstick mark on your face?"
Yang Fei laughs heartily, casually shrugging.
"I just passed by a bun shop and got soup dumplings for our company's artists. Those fairies got so excited, they hugged and kissed me..."
"Do you think someone as pure as me could accept kisses from fairies?"
"So I fought hard and barely escaped from the Web-Cave of those little fairies."
At this point, he feels sorry for himself, "Director Chen, don't you think I'm too handsome?"
"I think I need cosmetic surgery, otherwise I'm too handsome."
"This face, drawing the attention of female stars is one thing, but if I outshine male stars, isn't that a crime?"
Chen Ke wishes she could drag this shameless guy outside and dismember him.
"Yeah, yeah, you're definitely too handsome. If you wish to ruin your face, I can provide you with concentrated sulfuric acid."
Yang Fei clutches his chest, looking terrified.
"Jealousy! This must be jealousy. My god, I'm so handsome even the beauties are jealous, how frightening."
When it comes to bantering, Chen Ke is no match for Yang Fei.
Chen Ke is infuriated by his narcissistic attitude, and she angrily picks up a cup of hot coffee to splash at Yang Fei.
Yang Fei realizes he can't tease her anymore; an overly provoked woman really might come at him with a knife.
He laughs and reaches out to hold Chen Ke's hand back, while the other hand wraps around her waist.
"Just messing with you. What's up, running into some trouble?"
Rarely does Chen Ke see Yang Fei get serious, so she talks about Si Ruoxi joining Xu Zhiqing's team.
Yang Fei seems surprised, "Who?"
Chen Ke gives him another look.
"The Moon Goddess Xu Zhiqing, her promotional posters are everywhere. You can't not know her, right?"
Yang Fei gives a bitter smile, "Of course I know her."
"According to her, we are childhood sweethearts. Before enlisting, she even helped wash my undies. Do you believe that?"
Chen Ke is taken aback, then spits at Yang Fei.
"Ugh, you men are all the same; I know the Moon Goddess is every man's dream girl."
"But saying she helped you wash your clothes, isn't that going too far? Even if you're bragging, there should be a limit."
Yang Fei rolls his eyes at her, "I knew you wouldn't believe it."
"Whatever, I'm hiding from her anyway. Can't you just go find her yourself?"
He yawns as he speaks, lazily heading toward the resting area.
Chen Ke nearly loses it.
This guy works by either bothering artists or taking naps, and he naps right in the rest area of her CEO's office.
Is he here to work or to be the master?
"Not happening; I've spent a fortune arranging to meet Miss Xu's manager, you have to come with me."
Chen Ke grabs Yang Fei's hand with annoyance.
