The leader of Deyun Junior Team? I quit!

Chapter 414 No, there is a problem with the funds
"Mr. Zhang, I think our cooperation has great prospects." Guo Qilin asked tentatively, "But I want to know what you think of our new drama?"

Mr. Zhang was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Of course I am very optimistic about your new drama. However, the competition in the entertainment industry is very fierce, and sometimes you need some strategies to ensure success."

"Strategy?" Guo Qilin's mind moved, "What strategy do you mean?"

Mr. Zhang did not answer directly, but changed the subject: "These are not what you need to consider now. You just need to know that I will provide you with the best resources and support."

Although Guo Qilin was puzzled, he did not continue to ask questions. He knew that it would take more time and effort to uncover Mr. Zhang's true face.

After returning home, Guo Qilin immediately told Li Mei what happened today.

"What do you think Mr. Zhang meant?" Guo Qilin asked.

"I think he might be hinting to us that competition in the entertainment industry cannot be won by strength and hard work alone," Li Mei analyzed. "He might want us to take some unfair measures to ensure the success of the new drama."

"If that's the case, then we can't work with him anymore." Guo Qilin said firmly, "We have to rely on our own strength to win the audience's recognition."

"Yes, we must stick to our principles." Li Mei nodded, "However, we cannot let our guard down. Mr. Zhang may just be a pawn of the mastermind. We must continue investigating and find the real mastermind."

In the following days, Guo Qilin and Li Mei continued to investigate the manipulator behind the scenes. They found that the manipulator not only had connections with multiple forces in the entertainment industry, but also secretly manipulated some media and social platforms in an attempt to suppress Guo Qilin through public opinion.

However, just as they were about to uncover the true identity of the mastermind behind the incident, Guo Qilin suddenly received a mysterious phone call.

"Mr. Guo, we have targeted you." The voice on the other end of the phone was cold and strange. "If you don't want to be ruined, just listen to us."

"Who are you?" Guo Qilin asked angrily.

"Humph, you don't need to know." The person on the other end of the phone sneered, "You just need to know that we have plenty of ways to make you disappear from the entertainment industry."

"Li Mei, I need your help." Guo Qilin dialed Li Mei's number, his voice revealing an unprecedented seriousness.

"What's wrong, Qi Lin? What happened?" Li Mei's voice on the other end of the phone immediately became nervous.

"I just received a mysterious phone call. The other party said that they have been targeting me and will make me disappear from the entertainment industry if I don't obey." Guo Qilin told Li Mei the situation truthfully.

"This... this is too much!" Li Mei's voice was filled with anger. "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to think of a way to deal with it."

"Yes, we have to find the mastermind and figure out their purpose," Guo Qilin said. "At the same time, we also need to strengthen security measures to ensure my safety."

"I'll arrange it right away." Li Mei said decisively, "Also, I think we should find an opportunity to talk to Mr. Zhang and see if he knows anything."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Guo Qilin agreed with Li Mei's suggestion.

A few days later, Guo Qilin and Li Mei met Mr. Zhang in a remote cafe. Mr. Zhang looked a little surprised, but soon regained his composure. "What do you want to talk to me about?" Mr. Zhang asked.

"We want to know something about the entertainment industry," Guo Qilin said straight to the point. "We've been in some trouble recently. Someone threatened us."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Mr. Zhang pretended to be surprised, "But I don't know who will harm you."

"We think you might know something." Li Mei looked directly into Mr. Zhang's eyes. "After all, you have been in the entertainment industry for so many years. You must have some news that we don't know."

Mr. Zhang was silent for a while, then slowly spoke: "I do know some things, but I'm not sure if they are related to you. There have been some uneasy things happening in the entertainment industry recently, and some people do whatever it takes to gain benefits."

"Can you be more specific?" Guo Qilin asked.

"I don't know the specific situation." Mr. Zhang shook his head, "But I can tell you that there are many people in this circle who want to climb up, and they will use all kinds of means to achieve this. You should be careful of those who appear to be friendly on the surface, because they may have ulterior motives behind them."

"Thank you for your reminder." Guo Qilin said gratefully, "We will be careful."

After leaving the cafe, Guo Qilin and Li Mei fell into deep thought. They knew that although Mr. Zhang's words were implicit, they were enough to make them alert. At the same time, they also realized that it would not be easy to uncover the true face of the mastermind behind the scenes.

In the following days, Guo Qilin and Li Mei strengthened security measures and secretly investigated those who might be harmful to them. They found that the mastermind seemed to have a close connection with a company called "Xingguang Media". On the surface, this company is a regular entertainment company, but behind it is suspected of manipulating public opinion, suppressing competitors and other illegal activities.

However, just when they were about to get to the truth, Guo Qilin suddenly received an anonymous letter. The letter contained only a photo and a sentence: "Be careful of your family." The photo showed Guo Qilin's parents walking in the park.

"Li Mei, we have to speed up the investigation." Guo Qilin called Li Mei, his voice full of determination.

"What's wrong, Qi Lin? What happened?" Li Mei's voice revealed nervousness.

"I received an anonymous letter in which they threatened my family." Guo Qilin briefly explained the situation.

"This... this is too much!" Li Mei's voice was filled with anger. "We can't just sit there and do nothing. We must take action immediately."

"Yes, I have a plan." Guo Qilin said, "I need you to help investigate the background of Starlight Media, especially their management and recent developments."

"No problem, I'll check it out right away." Li Mei answered without hesitation.

A few days later, Li Mei found Guo Qilin with a thick document.

"I found out that the president of 'Starlight Media' is called Wang Lei. He has been in frequent contact with some unidentified people recently, and the company's capital flow is also somewhat abnormal." Li Mei said as she handed the information to Guo Qilin.

Guo Qilin quickly scanned the information, frowning. "This Wang Lei seems to be the key to our investigation," he said in a deep voice.
