“I didn’t expect you to be so capable. You actually captured so many things.” Chen Tian flipped through Dong You’s camera and memory card and found many things inside.
Dong You sat on the ground, his body trembling like a sieve. He smiled ingratiatingly and said, “I’m just trying to make a living.”
He was afraid that Starlight would get rid of him because he had discovered their secret, so he explained, “Dear CEOs, I’m not a newcomer to this industry anymore. 1 know all the rules that I should know. You saw that there were many things taken in the memory card, but they were not released in the end. Hence, don’t worry, I’ll definitely keep my mouth shut about what happened today.”
Chen Tian gave him a half-smile. “Did you guys keep your mouths shut, or did someone give you hush money to keep your mouths shut?”
After being exposed by Chen Tian, Dong You smiled awkwardly. “You know the rules of our industry. We, who are in the field, are only in charge of filming. As for how to deal with the materials captured, it depends on how our boss communicates with the artist.”
Entertainment reporters were everywhere and often kept an eye on artists. Hence, it was very normal for them to capture some photos. Whether it would be exposed in the end would depend on how their studio communicated with the artist’s team.
As for saying that this matter did not involve breaking the law, that would depend on the situation.
According to their jargon, this was a consensual deal. If the celebrity team did not want the scandal to be exposed, they would spend money to buy up this news.
As for whether it would be exposed in the end, that would depend on the sincerity of the artist team. Or rather, if another company paid more than them, it would depend on the boss of their studio.
“Don’t worry, I haven’t sent the content I just filmed to our boss, so I’ll delete it immediately and pretend that I didn’t appear today. What do you think?”
“Don’t be anxious.” Chen Tian put down the camera. “Tell me how you found out about our Hanhan first.”
When Dong You heard Chen Tian call Yu Han “Hanhan”, he thought that he was also a higher-up in Starlight Entertainment. Although he felt a little strange, why was a subordinate like him dressed even more gaudily than the company’s president and looked so cynical?
Dong You criticized in his heart as he replied, “I also found out by a freak combination of factors. I found out that the students in this district would probably be assigned to certain examination halls, so 1 ran over one by one. 1 wanted to go to the examination halls to try my luck. I didn’t expect to bump into Teacher Yu and her manager in the examination hall, so 1 came early in the morning to wait.”
Dong You was also careful. He was afraid of implicating his family, so he did not dare to say that his brother was also taking the exam in this examination hall. That was why he met Yu Han by a freak combination of factors.
However, who was Chen Tian? As a top investor in the industry, he had fought with too many people at the negotiation table. Hence, when he saw Dong You’s microexpression, he could roughly guess that he was hiding something.
He thought for a moment and thought of the most reasonable guess. “So you have a child at home who is also in the same examination hall, right?”
Dong You’s pupils constricted as he denied, “No, no, no. It was really a coincidence.”
“Alright, stop pretending.” Chen Tian sat on the sofa and stared at him with interest. “This little trick is not even enough in front of me, so you’d better tell me honestly how you found out where we’re staying.”
Seeing that he was so smart and domineering, Dong You did not dare to play tricks anymore.
“I thought that with Teacher Yu’s means, she wouldn’t go back and forth, so I searched the vicinity and guessed that your most likely stop was this five-star hotel, so I ran over to try my luck.”
Chen Tian said, “I didn’t expect you to be so smart and lucky.”
Dong You squeezed out a dry smile and forced a smile. “I have no choice. This is how entertainment reporters are. It takes some effort to dig up some information.”
He Meng, who had been silent at the side, clicked on the photos taken in his camera. There were blurry and secretly taken photos, as well as long shots. After flipping through a few photos, she realized a problem. “I have to say that your photography skills are quite good.”
As a well-known manager in the industry, He Meng’s aesthetic standards were still very good. Hence, she knew that Dong You’s photography skills were very professional when she saw what he took.
Dong You scratched his face awkwardly. “I studied photography..”
