My capital is quite large.

The next morning, a very important news announcement was suddenly inserted into the morning news broadcast of a municipal television station in Northeast China:

[A section chief in the city's planning bureau is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law and is currently under disciplinary review and supervisory investigation.]

In this official announcement, the disciplinary inspection department used unusually strong language:

"...Upon investigation, it was found that this comrade was never loyal to the Party, had lost his ideals and beliefs, was blinded by greed, and engaged in rampant power-for-money transactions."

"During his tenure, he abused his position to seek benefits for others and illegally accepted huge amounts of money and property, involving an exceptionally large sum of money. He is a typical example of a petty official with enormous corruption..."

Amid the current crackdown at Southeast University, the downfall of this "petty official with enormous corruption" has brought to light a whole host of other corrupt officials, causing quite a stir in the local political arena.

And this is only the prelude to the storm.

At 3 p.m. that day, a long cordon was suddenly set up in front of the headquarters of the agency that Brother Chicken had threatened to forcibly ban him from performing, and dozens of police cars with flashing lights roared in.

Provincial and municipal law enforcement agencies launched a joint operation, and under the heavy blow of the special campaign against organized crime, several key members and the boss of the company were handcuffed and taken away on the spot.

That evening, CCTV's legal program even featured a high-profile special report, providing a detailed analysis and coverage of this typical case of organized crime with significant social harm.

"...This criminal gang has long used the guise of operating an entertainment agency to set traps specifically for minors and young trainees through deception, intimidation, restriction of personal freedom, and other violent and non-violent means."

"They lured them into signing a highly fraudulent and exorbitant penalty clause, and then extorted huge ransoms from them through illegal means such as deliberately freezing them out and violent debt collection."

"The chaotic state of the entertainment industry must be fundamentally rectified..."

The news caused a nationwide uproar and widespread celebration!

Those netizens who were initially suffocating over the "300 million yuan penalty for breach of contract" were completely dumbfounded.

"Holy crap, the authorities have intervened?! They took down this entire leech of a company in just one day?!"

"Brother Chicken...has regained his freedom?!"

The millions of female fans who were glued to their phones were overjoyed and wept tears of happiness, flooding the hashtag and various social media platforms with their posts.

"Waaaaah... I knew my brother was innocent! Heaven has eyes!"

"Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent! Protect our Chicken Bro!"

Those trolls who were originally going to argue in the comments section, shouting "a contract is a contract, and they deserve to be sued," were just about to type out a rebuttal.

However, they suddenly discovered that as long as they entered any terms that criticized "Brother Chicken" or whitewashed the company involved in organized crime on mainstream platforms such as Weibo and Yin Fu, their accounts would be ruthlessly "banned" or even permanently banned by the system in a very short time.

The two social media giants, which control nearly 60% of the traffic of netizens at Southeast University, have been secretly and quietly protecting the public opinion surrounding Brother Chicken under the instruction of their group headquarters.

Desperate and with nowhere else to turn, the trolls could only retreat in frustration to outdated online forums and forums like Baidu Tieba and Mopu, where their user base was dwindling, and they could only listlessly tap on their keyboards.

But in those two secluded corners, their clamor had long since lost its luster, and could no longer stir up the slightest ripple.

......

Just as the domestic internet was returning to a clean and orderly state due to this powerful crackdown.

Inside a quiet and elegant Japanese restaurant in Ginza, Tokyo.

Veteran star Daigo, dressed in simple casual clothes, was sitting somewhat awkwardly on the tatami mat.

He looked at Miyamura, who was sitting opposite him, leisurely sipping sake, and asked with some skepticism:

"Miyamura-kun... what you said on the phone before, is it true?"

"Can Yanghe Co., Ltd. really guarantee me the lead roles in three big-budget films and two television dramas within the next two years?"

It's no wonder that this veteran movie star, who enjoys considerable popularity at Tokyo University, seemed so lacking in confidence at this moment.

The entertainment industry is a harsh society where seniority and hierarchy are ingrained in people's minds.

An artist like him, despite his fame, is already old and beginning to fade into obscurity. In the hierarchical Johnny's Entertainment, it might take two or three years to get a supporting role in a low-budget film.

In addition, Johnny's previously high commission rates meant that this seemingly glamorous superstar actually had a rather mediocre financial situation in private, and even struggled to buy a mid-levels apartment.

Miyamura smiled slightly as he looked at his somewhat disheveled appearance.

He pulled a black Mastercard from his coat pocket and slowly pushed it in front of Nagano Hiroshi.

Nagano Hiroshi was taken aback, then looked up at him with a puzzled expression:

"Miyamura-kun, what's this...?"

Miyamura leaned back, crossed his arms, and spoke with an air of self-assurance and arrogance:

"Nagano-san, working for our Yowa Co., Ltd. will definitely not shortchange you in terms of money."

"The money in your card is an initial deposit from the company, totaling two million US dollars! The PIN is on the back of the card."

Two million US dollars! That's nearly 230 million Japanese yen!

Looking at the black card that gleamed with a cold metallic luster under the light, a shocked red light flashed in Nagano Hiroshi's phoenix eyes for a moment.

Before he could even process the windfall, Miyamura calmly continued to bet:

"As for movies and TV series, you have even less reason to doubt Yanghe's capabilities."

"Over the next three years, the company will independently invest in five films and three television series."

"And for these projects, there is only one leading man, and that is you, Mr. Daigo."

"The director for the film we're co-investing in with TBS to be produced in the second half of this year has already been decided – Hirokazu Kore-eda."

"As for the female lead you'll be acting with..." Miyamura smiled slightly, "Our company is currently in contact with Yui Aragaki's agency, and the contract has basically been finalized."

Directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda!

Yui Aragaki will star in this drama!

A cash deposit of two million US dollars!

Hearing these dreamlike resource allocations, Daigo was so shocked that he stood there dumbfounded, his mind completely blank.

If the man in front of you isn't a madman or a liar.

The person behind him... his strength and methods have reached a level that is beyond the imagination of a nobody like him!

"Miyamura-kun, I...I understand."

After a long while, Daigo finally came to his senses from the shock.

He carefully put away the black card on the table, his hands trembling slightly. Then he bowed deeply to Miyamura and repeatedly expressed his gratitude in a somewhat obsequious manner:

"Please convey to the president that I, Daigo... am willing to go through fire and water for your esteemed company!"
