Dong You hurriedly picked up his cell phone and felt a headache when he saw the name flashing on it. He clicked on the call button and a rough voice came from inside.
“Old Dong, where did you go? Didn’t you say that you were going to keep an eye on Yu Han? Did you see anything after staring for so long?”
As no one in the room spoke, coupled with the fact that the volume of his old cell phone’s microphone was relatively loud, even if Dong You did not turn on the speaker, the people closer to him still heard the voice coming from the microphone.
Instantly, everyone looked at Dong You, especially Yu Han. Her eyes lit up as if she was watching an interesting show.
Dong You’s body couldn’t help but turn cold. He instantly felt like he was in an uncomfortable situation.
He squeezed out an awkward smile and turned his body slightly. He turned his back and replied softly, “I’m sorry, Boss. I went to the wrong place and didn’t see anyone.”
Upon hearing this, the man opposite him was immediately not very happy. “Old Dong, why aren’t you doing anything? You’re the lowest in the workload of our studio’s members in the past month. If you don’t work harder, how can 1 rest assured and let you lead the newbies?”
Dong You smiled bitterly. “Boss, didn’t I just film an exclusive this morning? I originally wanted to film more content to make a special feature, but I didn’t expect the studio to immediately post the news, causing the artist to be vigilant.”
In his original plan, after stopping Yu Han, he would interview her about the results and prospects of this college entrance examination. This way, no matter what Yu Han said in the end, they could use this answer, coupled with Yu Han’s previously exposed report card, to create a new controversial topic.
Unexpectedly, the boss was so impatient. As soon as he received the information, he immediately posted the news.
“We definitely have to post this topic about the college entrance examination as soon as possible to snatch the traffic. After this hot topic passes, who will pay attention to it if you post it again?” His boss did not think much of it. “Old Dong, you’re considered a veteran in this industry. Why are you getting worse the more you live? If you ask me, don’t go with a small fry like Yu Han. Didn’t we receive news previously that Li Dan has found a new boyfriend? Go and follow this thread.”
Li Dan, an A-list movie star, held a few Best Actress awards. She was 41 years old this year and was considered one of the top female celebrities in the middle generation.
Her news was naturally much more valuable than Yu Han’s news as a newcomer.
However, Dong You only wanted to dig a hole and bury himself because Yu Han was here and had heard what his boss said.
He did not turn around. He could feel several scorching gazes behind him, as if they were going to pierce through his back.
Dong You held his cell phone and said with a bitter expression, “Boss, didn’t you say that Li Dan’s new boyfriend shouldn’t be exposed? Why are we taking photos of him?”
Usually, when they said that it was not appropriate to see the light of day, they meant that this person had a military and political background, so they did not dare to take photos or post them. It was said that Li Dan’s new boyfriend had such a background.
Dong You didn’t want to follow her, nor did he dare to. After all, if he interacted with such a person and filmed something that shouldn’t be filmed, something would happen at any moment.
“Just do as I say. Why are you talking so much nonsense?” The boss said unhappily. “Think about it. When you first joined the company, you risked your life for a piece of news. Now, you’ve become afraid to commit yourself. Look at the newcomers in the company. Which one of them is as picky as you?”
When Dong You heard this, he roughly guessed that his boss should have accepted someone’s money, so he wanted to get the evidence of the two of them being together. As for the people who paid, they were either Li Dan’s enemies, her new boyfriend’s wife or political enemies.
To put it bluntly, they would hand it over to the person who paid after they bought the evidence. As for how the person who paid would use it, it had nothing to do with them.
He thought to himself that it was easy for his boss to accept the money, but in the end, it was his subordinates who had to work hard. In the past, he had to work hard because he had to. Now that he was alive and well, why did he have to risk his life? Couldn’t he just film some gossip about small celebrities to hype up the popularity?
Dong You really didn’t want to take the risk to follow Li Dan, so he could only recommend himself. “Boss, didn’t you say that there were some signs when Wei Xuan and Su Lan were filming? Why don’t 1 fly to the film studio tomorrow and keep an eye on them?”
The boss rejected him without thinking. “1’11 get Little Chen to follow them. You just have to be in charge of Li Dan.”
In the boss’s heart, although Dong You was a little lazy now, he was still very capable. Hence, Dong You had to do it if this matter wanted to succeed..
