Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 542: Fusheng Technology — Cross-Industry Collaboration

The next day, Xiao He was full of energy and vigor.

The prop master who had stayed up all night repairing props, however, looked as if all his vitality had been drained. He sat slumped in his seat, holding the newly repaired mechanical arm.

Xiao He glanced at him as he passed by, clicking his tongue a few times, feeling a deep sense of empathy for the man.

Asking a prop master to research this thing was truly asking too much.

This wasnʼt something ordinary people could study. Too much of it could easily kill brain cells—

Xiao He shook his head inwardly. Just then, he happened to see Pu Rong walk past him. He immediately stepped forward, hooked an arm around Pu Rongʼs shoulder, and steered him outside. ”Come on, letʼs go out and talk. Thereʼs something I want to ask you.”

Hearing Xiao Heʼs words, Pu Rong followed him out. ”Huh? Whatʼs up?”

”Itʼs about Teacher Song Zhe. That mechanical arm of his, do you know where it was sent from? Do you have the contact information for that company?”

”Eh? Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

”Ah, just asking for now. Just tell me if you know or not—”
...

Shanghai.

Zhou Junhao, who had just finished being busy, was summoned home by a call from his sister.

His brother-in-law was also home today, and his expression was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Zhou Junxue smiled as she put down the freshly cooked dishes, then patted Yan Zhengbeiʼs hand. ”Oh, donʼt be so stiff! This time, he dug up that information all by himself and helped your police department so much. Whatʼs with that cold, scowling face of yours!”

”All by himself?”

Yan Zhengbei smiled a rather mocking smile. ”I donʼt think thatʼs quite the case.”

Zhou Junhao buried his head in his bowl of plain rice, pretending not to hear.

Most of the information handed over to the police this time was provided by Xiao He, with a small part from Tong Junhui. The former definitely couldnʼt be conveniently revealed to the police, and the latter also didnʼt want to draw attention again due to previous incidents. So, after going around in circles, only Zhou Junhao ended up taking credit for everything.

Fortunately, Zhou Junhao had the status and background to avoid being repeatedly called in for ”tea.”

But precisely because of this, Yan Zhengbei was so suspicious of him.

What was his brother-in-law like? Did he not know?

Yan Zhengbei narrowed his eyes, staring at the guy frantically shoveling rice into his mouth, and sneered inwardly.

Hah. Keeping secrets now.

”Ah, I donʼt think any of that is important at all.”

Zhou Junxue sat down with her own bowl of rice and said, ”Iʼve already read Xiao Haoʼs report. The content is very detailed. It not only raises issues about the chaos online, distorted aesthetics, and peopleʼs mindless pursuit of unhealthy trends, but also exposes the gray industry chain of ʼcheat, loan, sellʼ one-stop services operated by many internet celebrity agencies. These are all very serious issues worth paying attention to now and serve as a good warning for everyone.”

”Originally, Xiao Hao going undercover to film, revealing contracts, and illegally digging up company privacy and trade secrets are already gray-area actions in many situations. If you really want to investigate his actions, he could also spend a few days in your bureau.”

Some things can only operate outside the rules—after all, how can you know others are violating the rules, and how they are violating them, without stepping outside the rules? Someone always has to go deep inside, take risks, and uncover more truth.

And they canʼt really use rigid rules to counterbalance those willing to run around for the people.

Yan Zhengbei naturally understood Zhou Junxueʼs meaning. If they insisted on investigating the helper behind Zhou Junhao, they would probably drag Zhou Junhao down with him.

Then theyʼd be the ones in trouble.

Playing dumb sometimes is quite good.

But this also made his frown deepen. ”Iʼm just worried heʼll get drawn into greater danger.”

Currently, they can only arrest this batch of people domestically, and for now, they can only settle accounts with Rongding Media. But in the vast internet celebrity industry, how many Rongding Medias are there?

No one knows.

By publishing these news reports and blowing this matter up, Zhou Junhao has stepped on a lot of peopleʼs toes.

Some people, for money, really will do incredibly crazy things.

Yan Zhengbei didnʼt think this was a good thing.

If Zhou Junhao continued to investigate alongside that unknown ”helper” of his, he might be in mortal danger.

”Donʼt worry, Iʼll protect myself!”

Zhou Junhao hurriedly swallowed the rice in his mouth and said, ”Brother-in-law, isnʼt your friend a teacher at a martial arts hall? I plan to sign up for a class with him later and properly learn some self-defense! Donʼt worry! Iʼve learned my lesson now. If I really encounter danger in the future, Iʼll run faster than anyone!”

Yan Zhengbei frowned in thought for a moment, then finally nodded. ”Alright, Iʼll have a good talk with Song Zhe and ask him to give you some proper extra training.”

”For the next few days, youʼll stay with us. Starting tomorrow, youʼll come with me for morning runs.”

”Roger that! No problem!”

Zhou Junhao saluted, then his phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw it was a call from one of his ”helpers.” He immediately glanced guiltily at Yan Zhengbei, then ran to the side to answer.

Yan Zhengbei gave a cold snort but said nothing. Then, his own phone rang.

Zhou Junxue was speechless. ”Go answer it somewhere else! Youʼre both such busy men!”

-

”Hello?”

”Youʼre back in Shanghai too?”

”What? You want to work with me?”

Zhou Junhao glanced toward the dining room, covered his mouth, and lowered his voice. ”Brother Tong, my bro, thatʼs a huge career leap! Besides, you donʼt have a press card! No relevant experience either. How can you be a reporter with me?”

”Huh? You passed the exam before?”

Zhou Junhao suddenly remembered, dazedly, that this guy was also a hardcore boss a few years back.

Wow, Brother Xiaoʼs senior brothers... theyʼre all more hardcore than the last, no wonder theyʼre all Award-Winning Actors...

”Well, alright then... come find me first—”

Zhou Junhao hung up the phone, feeling a bit lightheaded as he returned to the living room. After hastily eating a few more bites, he said goodbye to Zhou Junxue and prepared to go out.

Zhou Junxue looked at the leftover food and frowned slightly. ”Whatʼs so urgent? Canʼt you finish eating before leaving?”

”A friend came over and needs my help. I have to go meet him. Sis, Iʼm heading out!”

Zhou Junhao waved and hurriedly opened the door to leave.

”This guy—”

Just as Zhou Junxue was muttering, Yan Zhengbei, who had finished his call in the other room, walked back.

Seeing him pick up his jacket, Zhou Junxue immediately understood her husband was also preparing to go out. ”You have something too?”

Yan Zhengbei nodded. ”Song Zhe just called, talking about that prosthetic limb we got for him before. He said an entertainment company wants to cooperate with Fusheng Technology for promotion and hopes I can help make the connection.”

Zhou Junxue was surprised. ”An entertainment company actually wants to help with promotion?”

Although this type of prosthetic limb industry currently has policy support and decent development prospects, due to its small target audience and concentrated brands, media attention mostly focuses on technical academia, disabled personsʼ federations, unions, etc. So, even though Fusheng Technology has many collaborations with official bodies, jointly conducts cutting-edge technology R&D with numerous university professors, and has achieved many accomplishments, public awareness is still relatively shallow, and overall brand recognition is quite low.

Actually, this isnʼt really a worry. After all, the circle is just this big. Having a reputation within the circle is already enough.

But who could refuse an opportunity to further enhance their companyʼs fame and expand its reach?

—Moreover, public welfare benefiting the people, if the cooperation is handled well, could also count as part of his political achievements.

After confirming Song Zhe wasnʼt joking, Yan Zhengbei immediately decided to help inquire about the situation.

So he could only apologize to Zhou Junxue, ”Sorry, I have to go now.”

”Itʼs fine.”

Zhou Junxue straightened his collar for him and smiled helplessly. ”Go on, be careful.”

”Mhm.”

After both men had hurriedly left, Zhou Junxue looked at the leftover food on the table and let out a long sigh. ”Every single one of them, such busy people!”
