Chapter 46 To destroy a person, first make them mad.
Zeng Zhiwei has been making waves in Hong Kong's entertainment circle lately.
He stepped in to save a film and television company that was being "ostracized" by mainland China, further enhancing his already "righteous" reputation.
At recent gatherings in Hong Kong's entertainment circle, Zeng Zhiwei has been bringing Cai Yinong with him every day, complaining to everyone he meets.
They spout nonsense like "Mainlanders are banding together and excluding Hong Kong companies," "Hong Kong needs to unite and stand together against outsiders," and "We need to be tough on mainland entertainment industry artists."
Under his influence, the intensity of the battle between Zhen Zidan and Zhao Wenzhuo in March escalated to a new level.
For a time, he was the most talked-about figure in the entire Hong Kong entertainment circle.
"These mainlanders are all all bark and no bite," Zeng Zhiwei said casually to a group of people at a party.
"A few months ago, Mr. Cai came to me and said he was being ostracized by mainlanders." He swirled his wine glass in his short, stubby hand. "I think it's not easy for us Hong Kong Islanders to make a living abroad, so we should unite as one."
"Now, the crisis is over," Zeng Zhiwei raised his glass. "A toast to the unity of the people of Hong Kong!"
The people around nodded in agreement, raised their glasses, shouted "Unity!" and drank it all in one gulp.
Cai Yinong listened from the side, her expression not relaxed. If the people of Hong Kong had really been united back then, she wouldn't have been forced to go north to start a business.
She now feels like she's fallen into an even bigger pit and can't climb out.
Before, I just felt that the company was doomed, but now I feel like my life is hanging by a thread.
After everyone had left, Cai Yinong asked with some unease, "Brother Zeng, I still have a feeling that things aren't going to just pass by so easily."
"Don't worry." Zeng Zhiwei waved his hand, somewhat impatiently, and said, "After a while, I'll help you get your TV series broadcast in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and your company's problem will be solved."
If it weren't for the fact that this incident had helped him build up a lot of reputation during this period, he would have wanted to get rid of Cai Yinong long ago.
The Hong Kong entertainment circle is only so big. If you have one more mouth to feed, others will have one less meal to eat.
He's gained a reputation, but if he actually helps Cai Yinong with projects in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, people will immediately be dissatisfied.
Cai Yinong nodded as she looked at Zeng Zhiwei, who was showing signs of impatience. She didn't dare to say anything more, as her life and fortune were now in the hands of the person in front of her.
If this lifeline is gone, then I really don't know who else to turn to.
Zeng Zhiwei's assistant came over and whispered a few words in his ear. Zeng Zhiwei nodded and looked at Cai Yinong.
"I've taken care of what I asked you to do a while ago." Zeng Zhiwei looked at Cai Yinong with a big smile. "Once our people have stirred up some buzz, you need to speak out online and support us."
Cai Yinong nodded. Having come this far, she had no chance to turn back; she could only follow this path to the bitter end.
"This bastard is really lucky with women." Looking at the photos that the paparazzi sent back at great risk, the photos were a bit blurry, but you could still make out the general situation.
In the photo, Lin Yu is standing at the restaurant entrance, holding hands with Gulnazar on one arm and Dilraba on the other. However, the angle is clever; only Lin Yu's face is barely visible, and both girls are seen from behind, appearing quite blurry.
"Brother Zeng, he hasn't been bothering us lately, so why don't we just let it go?" Cai Yinong cautiously advised from the side.
"Hmph, you're just being narrow-minded," Zeng Zhiwei glanced at Cai Yinong with disdain. "What do you know? Half of the entertainment industry in mainland China went to the premiere of this bum's movie."
Zeng Zhiwei took a sip of his drink. "If we ruin his reputation, we can say that the mainland entertainment industry is corrupt and lacks artistic integrity. If they eat less, we can eat more."
Seeing that his persuasion had no effect, Cai Yinong retreated again. Zeng Zhiwei's smile grew even more arrogant.
This photo was obviously taken by Lin Yu on purpose; how could Guoan possibly let any fish slip through their net?
I even deliberately chose the least clear one; whoever wants to destroy a man, first make him mad.
If he finds out that the people he sent out have been arrested and are too scared to come out again, wouldn't that just make things more difficult for nothing?
As for whether this photo will be leaked, that's a bit of an unnecessary worry.
Along with the photos, a piece of software was also sent. Only Eric Tsang and his assistant's phones could open and view it. Once it was sent elsewhere, it was no longer the original image. It was either completely blurry and the people could not be seen, or it was directly damaged.
Not to mention that Zeng Zhiwei's assistant has already become a complete partner of justice under the "persuasion" of the National Security Bureau.
Of course, Zeng Zhiwei was completely unaware of all this; he was preoccupied with the "trump card" he held in his hand.
He could use this opportunity to drag Lin Yu and half of the mainland entertainment industry into the mess, allowing the Hong Kong entertainment circle to take this chance to completely open the door to the mainland.
If the glory of Hong Kong's entertainment circle can be restored in his hands, then no one can shake his status in the industry!
-----------------
The morning after the unexpected guest left.
Lin Yu arrived at the Huo family's "castle" early and sat on the sofa in a very relaxed posture.
Now it's just him and Kenneth Fok in the living room, there's no need to maintain social etiquette all the time, it's tiring enough.
Kenneth Fok, holding his teacup, sized Lin Yu up and down. After a long pause, he finally spoke: "You came to Hong Kong Island, really just for Tsang Chi-wai?"
It wasn't that Kenneth Fok didn't trust Lin Yu; it was just that Lin Yu's actions were indeed somewhat unusual.
He could have taken a direct passenger plane to Hong Kong, but he chose a less comfortable military plane, deliberately didn't bring any security personnel, and even checked into the Four Seasons Hotel.
If you say he doesn't have some ulterior motive, nobody will believe you.
"If I've fooled you too," Lin Yu laughed happily, "then I've achieved my goal this time."
Kenneth Fok was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant, "You little brat, you've included your brother in this too."
He laughed too; in this situation, there was no way he could clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
If taking the private jet was due to being in a hurry, and staying at the Four Seasons Hotel was a coincidence, then rushing to the Huo family's house early the next morning certainly couldn't be a coincidence either.
If anyone asks him what Lin Yu and he talked about, and he says they didn't talk about anything, no one will believe him.
However, Kenneth Fok was not angry.
If you were to say that Lin Yu and Huo Qigang were really good friends, that would be a stretch; they were definitely using each other.
One was focused on increasing his influence, while the other wanted to create a healthy competitive entertainment industry and break the situation of being constantly invaded by culture. The two hit it off immediately.
There couldn't be a closer relationship than this.
"A win-win cooperation." Lin Yu leaned back on the sofa, took a sip of cola, and said, "Is Zeng Zhiwei's plan ready?"
"What else do we need to prepare?" Kenneth Fok shook his head. "He has a lot of dirty laundry on his hands. If it weren't for his father's influence, the police would have arrested him long ago."
"The son of a wanted criminal is living so comfortably in Hong Kong. It just goes to show how 'superior' Hong Kong's system is." Lin Yu's words were laced with sarcasm.
"Don't make sarcastic remarks. Zeng Zhiwei has an event in Shenzhen tonight," Huo Qigang said, skipping over Lin Yu's topic. "Shall we catch him red-handed tonight?"
