Chapter 846: Aftermath
The death of the founder of Chloe Pictures brought a lot of aftermath work to be dealt with, and just as Lu Xiang expected, when the news spread, there was chaos within the company, except for the head of security, everyone was preparing for this impending storm, which once affected the filming of "Rescuer Master".
As for the head of the security department, under the influence of Song Lan, he saw a lot.
Today, he is lying in the VIP ward of the Prosthetic Hospital due to a work injury, and although he is not seen by his colleagues, he is nominally a company executive, and has a platinum membership package at the Prosthetic Hospital in the 4th District.
The purpose of the Platinum Membership Package is to make every member feel at home, and as long as there is even the slightest pain in his body, the hospital will continue to monitor him closely until the symptoms are completely gone.
During this period, the supervisor contacted Song Lan privately once again and conducted in-depth study on the issue of pretending to be sick.
After some discussion, his current ailment is mainly focused on his head.
Dizziness, headache, nausea, and occasional ghosting.
This is the sequelae of a typical concussion.
The head of security felt that every time he talked to Mr. Luffie, he suddenly became enlightened, and if he had been in the past, he would have fallen into a state of sleepless sleep after the news of the founder's death spread.
With the extent to which he is unpopular in the company, it is very likely that he will be replaced by the Wave of people who eventually ascend to the position of person in power.
But so what?
The head of the security department was not only calm, but even relaxed enough to peel a banana for himself and watch a reality show in the hospital room all day.
At the behest of Mr. Lucci, he changed his strategy.
No matter how unpopular he is, he also belongs to the veteran of Chloe Films, dedicating his most precious years to the company, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, and the better news is that because of his policy of thinking about his subordinates in the last operation, he touched the entire staff of the security department, and his personal reputation reached its peak while he was bedridden.
The entire security service expects him to remain in charge.
But if the new ruler insists on firing him, these can be his bargaining weapons.
The key idea is how to get the highest possible retirement pension, and with the huge wealth that Chloe Films has hoarded over the years, there is a high probability that he will be able to get enough money to squander for the rest of his life.
In Mr. Luffie's view, the infighting in the company is a great thing for him.
From now on, as a supervisor, he should not think about how to curry favor with the new ruler, but about where to go and be happy after receiving this pension.
According to the investigation of the head of the security department, he felt that District 17 was a treasure of feng shui.
The slow pace of a small border city is perfect for retirement, he heard that the city's crime rate has reached an all-time low after the change of law enforcement department head, and more importantly, as a veteran of the "outside" war, it always reminds him of the eventful old days.
Of course, if the new ruler is unwilling to pay this pension, he also has a second hand of preparation - to report the negative news of Koloe Film to the Foster family, muddy the waters, and give the prosecutor a chance to intervene, with Hogg-Foster's relationship with Koloe Film some time ago, coupled with Mr. Hogg's strong revenge mentality, this will definitely bring a lot of trouble to the company.
In the end, in order to calm the turmoil and prevent internal employees from testifying in court, they will definitely promise his retirement pension compensation.
So......
As long as he looks at the problem from a different angle, his life suddenly becomes brighter.
The head of the security department's admiration for Mr. Lu Qi has reached a higher level, and it is even so strong that he has the feeling of drifting for half his life and not meeting the master.
It's a pity that with his qualifications, it is unlikely that he will go to work in MI7, so he can only "endure the pain" and enjoy his old age.
The head of the security department is not the only one who needs Song Lan's reassurance.
After giving advice to the security chief, who was facing a job loss crisis, several familiar faces approached the door.
After the news of the founder's death spread, Veronica and Vallen didn't close their eyes all night.
Their minds were full of images from the day of the incident.
In the untouched realities of the Sea of Souls, they were a step too late, and by the time they arrived at the scene, Singosi had already been attacked by a mad plumber, and his body had been gnawed and mutilated.
At the moment of crisis, Roger stepped forward to protect everyone, but he was also admitted to the hospital due to injuries, and Zhuang Chi has been taking care of him in the hospital during this time.
"Teacher Luqi, please punish me."
Veronica has a sincere attitude of admitting her mistakes on the surface, but her words are amazing, and those who don't know will probably think that this girl has awakened some special habit.
This matter must not be heard by Lu Xiang, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
In the words of the ancients, I am afraid that it is easy to attack and defend.
"What punishment do you mean?"
Song Lan asked cautiously.
"Use this."
Veronica took out a leather whip in front of him, I don't know if it was a delusion, obviously about to face punishment, Veronica seemed to be a little excited, "When I made mistakes in the past, my parents and the maid at home punished me like this. ”
Parents put it aside first, why do any maids dare to whip the eldest lady of the family with a leather whip?
Song Lan suggested that the maid in Veronica's house be investigated.
"You've done your best, it's a much more complicated matter than you think, and it's not something you can solve."
Song Lan coughed lightly and said.
"How complicated?"
"To put it simply, Singosi's death is related to what happened in District 1, an organized, premeditated assassination that has always been the focus of our attention."
For the sake of his own life and health, Song Lan used the Seven Powers of Military Affairs as a shield.
"That's what Mr. Luki, you're here for."
Veronica suddenly realized.
Agreeing to Guan Lili's invitation to become the invitation of the "Rescuer Master" program group is actually to break into the interior of Chloe Films, but it's a pity that this killer organization has a lot of background, and this time even CP0 and Mr. Lu Qi are one step behind.
Thinking of this, Veronica's mood improved a lot.
As the teacher said, this is not an event that they can meddle in.
Although the founders were eventually killed, they at least managed to kill the killer sent by that organization.
Obviously, this is a long tug-of-war.
Song Lan lowered her voice and said, "It's good that you know it in your heart, don't make a noise." ”
"And what about the news that came out before? Is it the founder who approved the project in the meeting and privately supported criminals to work for the company? ”
It was Valian who asked the question.
Unlike Veronica, she is more concerned about the information she has previously investigated.
Although Chloe Films used their best "amnesia" technique on the Internet to block all news, discussions, and video feeds after the news spread, they were unable to erase the memories of those who experienced it directly, and Vale clearly remembered everything she saw, so it was inevitable that she became suspicious of Chloe Films.
Originally, he followed Veronica to meet the founder and ask him face to face.
It's a pity that before she could ask a question, Singosi was killed.
"It does."
Song Lan said.
After Lu Xiang took over the 'Sea of Souls', he no longer had to worry about Warren and the others suddenly being attacked by probes and laser weapons during the investigation.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Valen took a deep breath, and the sense of justice in her heart made it impossible for her to sit idly by and watch the company cover up the truth.
She didn't know about the man named Rob Lucci, and although his first impression was somewhat similar to that of the section chief, she found that this person was much more gloomy than the section chief, and he exuded the air of a coalition government intelligence officer.
MI7 and CP0 were so far away from their lives that she couldn't help but ask, "You're going to help the company cover up their charges?" ”
"Not really, MI7 has always been open to this, it has never been at the heart of what we do."
"Open-minded?"
"We're not going to track down what Colloe Films did, but we won't stop others from investigating them."
"So what's going on?"
Valian was completely confused, ""Master Rescuer" is a program owned by Chloe Films, why did the program team come to investigate themselves? ”
What she saw and heard after coming to the fourth district forced Valen to reconsider Zhuang Chi's opinion of the company, there were too many unknown shady scenes behind it, and she could imagine that maybe the ultimate goal of this season was to excuse them for what the company had done in the name of investigation.
The thought of this possibility made Valen feel sick to her stomach and wanted to quit the show.
"You can understand it as an internal struggle within the company, as far as I know, not everyone supported this plan at the beginning, there are still some people within the company who believe in the spirit of the rescuer, in a sense, your next actions will have far-reaching consequences, and may change the strategy of the entire Chloe Pictures in the future."
"I see, Mr. Luki."
Veronica replied, "We'll continue to investigate." ”
Coming from a large family and her parents held important positions in the counterintelligence department, Veronica has long been surprised by what the company has done, and it is really not worth mentioning to nurture criminals to be used by the company compared to the real evils.
Even if you have justice in your heart, you must know how to be flexible.
That's what she's learned over the years.
Recklessness will not bring justice, it will only bring disaster to them, and Veronica believes that over the years, Carrow Films has eliminated many people like Vallene who have a sense of justice but lack the means, and all this can be traced back to the death of a company executive who died in a car bombing.
She heard the deep meaning of Teacher Lu Qi.
There is no such thing as "open-mindedness" in this world.
To not block is to acquiesce.
As the top executive of MI7, once involved in the investigation, the nature of the matter will be changed, and the entire Lagus Foundation may come forward at that time.
What the teacher really meant was to encourage them to investigate privately, and only after they had favorable evidence that MI7 could come forward and take Colloe Pictures and the Lagus Foundation by the throat.
"Knock knock—"
When this private conversation came to an end, there was a timely knock on the door.
Guan Lili's recognizable voice came from outside the door, "Mr. Luqi, they said you were here, and I-"
Guan Lili pushed open the door of the room very naturally.
She thinks that with her relationship with Song Lan, there is no need to be restricted by so many rules.
Their relationship has reached the point where they can take refuge in each other's rooms wrapped in quilts at a critical moment, which can already be called a fateful friendship in the fourth district.
But after seeing Veronica and Valin in the room, her words stopped abruptly, and under the puzzled gaze of the two, Guan Lili coughed lightly and resumed her businesslike attitude.
Guan Lili doesn't know about the relationship between Veronica and Song Lan, but she knows about the former's parents working in the counterintelligence department.
It is indispensable to guard against people, and now they are in a place like the fourth district, if there is an inexplicable scandal with Song Lan, Guan Lili seriously suspects that she may be killed by Lu Xiang.
"Director Guan, what's the matter?"
"The last mentor has been finalized, and he claims to be your acquaintance, so I'm going to make an appointment with you to have the three mentors of this season meet in private."
As is customary in Master Rescuer, each season will have three main mentors.
Among them, the oldest "angry mentor" Shaw Grant belongs to the resident guests.
"Acquaintances?"
However, Song Lan didn't remember any acquaintances in the fourth district.
"His name is Franconia, and he was introduced by a good friend of mine."
Just half an hour ago, a friend who hadn't been in touch in a long time called her and recommended Franconian to her.
The friend also met at work, and she had participated in many activities at Chloe Films as a makeup artist and mechanical consultant, and according to the friend, Franconia had undergone a highly prosthetic makeover, and his appearance was as "heavy metal" as Arakuba, which was perfect for making an impression on the show.
Even in 2167, such a person is not easy to find.
What's even better is that this Franken and Song Lan know each other and seem to have a great relationship.
Guan Lili hasn't paid so much attention to Kolo Pictures' shows for a long time, but this incident has become an opportunity for her to return to the front line.
Rather than endless office politics, she prefers to make some tangible shows.
"Okay."
Song Lan nodded.
In fact, he and Mr. Franconian only met this morning and discussed a number of academic issues.
While speaking, Guan Lili suddenly noticed Song Lan's desktop.
In addition to the materials prepared for the program, there is also a very conspicuous object on the table.
A small leather whip.
It's a small, opaque room.
Song Lan was alone in front of his two female students.
Guan Lili seemed to realize something, and her eyes suddenly widened.
She hurriedly said, "I'm really sorry to disturb you, I didn't come at the right time." ”
Thank you book friends for 20180702213150357 500 starting coins!
The small theater of its two hundred and thirteen:
Sunday, morning, month, year.
Not long after, Maydell called for "help".
Song Lan, who had already changed her clothes and was wearing a suit and leather shoes, closed the door after pushing the latter into the room.
The two looked at each other so wordlessly, which was very rare.
In the past, when the eyes of the two sides interlaced for more than three seconds, they always had someone to bring up the topic, and they were as stable as the Pokemon Wild Trainer.
But today, more than a dozen seconds have passed, and no one has been able to come up with a constructive topic.
In the end, Lu Xiang stubbornly asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"Because ......"
Song Lan hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth, "Medell told me that there is a good show to watch here." ”
Without even giving him time to react, they dragged him here.
Lu Xiang's tone was different from usual, "Good show? What's the show? ”
"She's shy little Lu Xiang here."
Song Lan admits that this is a title that people can't refuse.
"It's fake, it's all Medell's nonsense."
Although she said this, her body tensed.
"In that case, you can't come yet?"
"Legs are weak, can't you?"
A straightforward tone.
"So, why don't I hug you?"
This proposal made the room fall into a brief silence again, and Lu Xiang's heart seemed to have experienced a battle between heaven and man, and in the end, she gritted her teeth and made a decision under the temptation.
- "Yes, I'm shy, and if I don't hug it, I probably won't be able to walk." ”
