The next day, the matter of Zhao Chenlin going to Yazhi to make trouble appeared in the newspaper. They also published a shameful photo of Zhao Chenlin sitting at the gates of Yazhi. Most viewers of the newspaper couldn't believe that a grandson of the Zhou family would act so disgracefully. When Zhou Lin saw the newspaper, she became so angry that she tore it in half. She had clearly contacted this newspaper yesterday and told them not to report what had happened. The other party had promised affirmatively at the time, but it turned out that they dared to lie to her?
Zhou Lin called the other party to ask about this matter. The editor of the newspaper told her that this story was ordered to be publicized by the president himself. The editor had already set a different headliner for the day, but since the president suddenly asked him to publish this story, he had no choice. Zhou Lin didn't know if her father had seen the newspaper that day yet. In order to prevent that from happening, she called Zhao Chenlin and asked him to go back to the Zhou house for dinner in the evening. Now as her father's impression of Zhou Cheng worsened, it was time for them to brush up on their goodwill.
Zhao Chenlin and Wei Wei had made an appointment to go to The Concubine to play in the evening, so Zhao Chenlin was a little reluctant when he heard this. He’d been enjoying his freedom outside recently, and was much happier than he had been back at the Zhou house. If he rejoined the Zhou family, he would have to go back to his miserable life of being home by ten o'clock at night every day. However, he didn't dare to voice his complaints, otherwise, his mother would definitely scold him to death.
Wang Cheng knew that the matter of his photos was related to Zhou Lin or her family, but he didn't expect Wei Wei to also be involved. However, when he told Zheng Jingen about his involvement, he said he’d already known.

On the surface, their family seemed to be the type that didn’t make many moves, but in fact, they were extremely strong when they took action.
Wang Cheng being removed from his post by Zhou Shichang was definitely not a trivial matter for the Zheng family. Right now, the Zhou family supported the Zheng family. However, if the person in charge of the Zhou family changed to Zhou Lin, she would no longer support the Zheng family. Therefore, the heir of the Zhou Group was also related to the future of the Zheng family. Wei Wei simply had no idea that he was about to face a grand disaster.
Since he did not need to go to the main company anymore, Wang Cheng went to Yazhi whenever he had time to personally arrange opportunities for the company's artists, and actively participate in planning events. His recent presence also served to reassure some anxious artists. As for the artists who sucked up to Zhao Chenlin when he had come over to flaunt his power? They soon found themselves with fewer and fewer on-screen appearances, and couldn’t help but regret their past actions.
Pan Zhihai knocked on the door and walked in, placing the document in his hand on Wang Cheng's desk. "Zhou Shao, this is the application for funds we submitted to the higher-ups the day before yesterday. The funds from Zhou Group invested in some TV dramas some time ago, causing the funds to be almost used up."

"You are Ning’an's younger brother? You are also a talented person."
Gu Shouzhuo seemed to be unaware, or uncaring of the rumors surrounding Wang Cheng and Chu Yifeng. He looked at Wang Cheng with eyes full of love.
Wang Cheng smiled and said, "Grandpa Gu has given too much praise."
Gu Shouzhuo smiled: "No need to be humble, this old man really thinks you are very good, much better than most young people. It is a blessing for Old Zhou to have a grandson like you. Of course, it is also a blessing for me to have a grandson like Ning’an." There seemed to be a bit of pride in his words.
Wang Cheng was relieved when he heard that his eldest brother was taken seriously.
"And you are Old Man Chu’s eldest grandson. Right, when I meet Old Man Chu, I often hear him mention you. Very accomplished at a very young age." Gu Shouzhuo had met with Old Man Chu many times when his company became involved with the state. Every time, he’d hear him brag about how powerful his eldest grandson was. It was his first time actually seeing him today, and he was indeed outstanding.
