Chapter 1820 Pressure From the Higher-ups

In a suite on the top floor of a luxury hotel somewhere.

Beep! Beep!

An electronic lock was unlocked, and the door was pushed open. A middle-aged man walked in and came to the very luxurious living room in the suite. He sat down next to a door with an express door lock installed. He was silent, thinking, and motionless.

After a long while-

“Knock, knock, knock…”

There was a knock on the door, which woke up the middle-aged man from his meditation.

Beep!

Without any hesitation, the middle-aged man directly reached out and pressed the express door lock switch next to him.

Clack!

The door opened.

A man in a black suit and a hat came in from outside the door.

Without saying a word, the man went straight to the living room, sat down on the sofa, took off the hat on his head, and revealed a bright bald head.

The first man who came in pressed the switch again, and the door closed automatically.

In the living room, the two men didn’t even look at each other once. They just sat there silently, waiting.

About ten minutes later-

“Knock, knock, knock…”

There was another knock on the door.

The middle-aged man who came in first pressed the express door lock switch again.

Clack!

The door opened again, and another middle-aged man came in.

The same thing happened.

This man didn’t say anything.

After entering the room, he found a place to sit down and continued to wait in silence.

Just like that, every three to five minutes, someone would come in. Sometimes, it would take more than ten minutes before another one came in, and occasionally, it would take half an hour.

After an unknown period, there were already many people sitting in the living room of the suite, and there was only one seat left on the sofa.

Although there were many people, the atmosphere in the room was still very depressing.

No one spoke. They were all waiting in silence.

Half an hour later-

Beep! Beep! Beep!

There was another beep.

Everyone heard it.

All the people sitting in the room now raised their heads and looked silently at the door.

The first person who came in immediately pressed the expressed door lock switch.

The door opened.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses, a black suit, a suit jacket on his hand, and a messy white shirt came in panting.

“Zhang Guangfeng!”

After the man came in, the first one who came in pressed the express door lock switch and locked the door. A middle-aged man who was originally sitting in the crowd immediately stood up and stared angrily at the man who had just entered the room.

“Humph!”

The middle-aged man named Zhang Guangfeng snorted disdainfully and walked to the only empty seat, ready to sit down.

“How dare you come here?”

The furious middle-aged man rushed forward, grabbed Zhang Guangfeng by the collar, and roared, “I’ll beat you to death, son of a bitch!”

“If you want to fight, come at me then!”

Zhang Guangfeng wasn’t someone to be trifled with. He immediately grabbed the other party’s collar angrily, not backing down in the slightest. He glared at the man and said, “Yang Hengyu, I have to mess with you, and what can you do about it?”

“I’ll smash you to death!”

The man named Yang Hengyu raised his left fist and fiercely punched Zhang Guangfeng’s head.

Zhang Guangfeng didn’t back down. Similarly, he brandished his left fist, smashing it down viciously at his opponent.

In this way, the two of them began to tussle.

At first, the people sitting around did not intend to step forward to stop the fight.

However, when they saw the two falling to the ground, they looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. Then, they hurried forward and pulled the two men apart.

Judging from the names, it could be seen that Zhang Guangfeng gave 200 million to Fang Qiu, hoping that Fang Qiu could expose the products of Guangfeng Healthcare Product Company as they instructed. Yang Hengyu was the boss of Yuheng Healthcare Product Company, the opponent of Guangfeng.

Since Fang Qiu sent the two Weibo posts, the people of the two companies had completely become enemies.

The two bosses had been furious for a long time.

What made Yang Hengyu angry was that Zhang Guangfeng actually asked Fang Qiu to deal with him in private, and what angered Zhang Guangfeng was that Yang Hengyu always asked his men to steal Zhang Guangfeng’s business and territory while the two bosses held no grudge against each other.

“Fuck you, Zhang Guangfeng!”

Yang Hengyu, who couldn’t hit Zhang Guangfeng despite being pulled by everyone, roared angrily.

“I’ll kill your whole family.”

Zhang Guangfeng’s face was twisted with malice as he roared.

Even if the two were pulled away by the crowd, they were still extremely angry and spat at each other.

“Enough. That’s enough!”

The middle-aged man, who was the first to enter the room, swung his hand and went straight to the middle of the two. He glared at them fiercely and said, “What’s the point of making such a scene at this time? Now we have to work together to keep ourselves safe. Even if we have to quarrel, we need to deal with Fang Qiu first!”

“Yeah. Now that we’re all in big trouble, what’s the point of you two quarreling now?”

“If you keep arguing, you will be taken down by Fang Qiu before you can kill each other!”

“Save your breath. If you have that much strength, go and get Fang Qiu instead!”

Everyone chimed in, making the two men less angry.

Under everyone’s persuasion, the two finally stopped.

“Sit down, all of you.”

Seeing that the two men were no longer arguing, the middle-aged man who was the first to enter the room waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down again.

“All right, do me a favor. Calm down for the time being.”

Sitting down next to the express door lock switch, the middle-aged man, Xu Yongqiang, said, “Today, I gathered everyone here not to fight. We are all in the same business, so it is inevitable for us to compete with each other. If we’re to fight, I’m afraid that all of us will be enemies!”

Speaking of this, Xu Yongqiang gave Zhang Guangfeng and Yang Hengyu a hard look and then added, “Everyone knows very well that we gathered together to discuss how to deal with Fang Qiu. We can’t let him go on like this. He has forced us into a dead end. We have no way out. Now, let’s talk about what ideas and plans you have.”

After he said that, the group of people began to discuss.

This secret discussion lasted for an entire day.

They didn’t leave the hotel until it was dark.

…

At Zhongzhou TV Station the next day.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

In the office of an important leader of the TV station, the phone suddenly rang.

“Hello?”

The leader, who was watching the replay of the second episode of Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room through the computer, picked up the phone with a smile.

“Mr. Wu?”

A familiar voice came from the other end of the line.

“That’s me.”

The leader immediately became serious and said, “Why are you calling me?”

“I have something to tell you.”

The person on the other end of the line smiled faintly and said, “I heard that your station is doing a show called Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room recently, which has made the Internet a mess and caused controversy everywhere.”

“Well, that’s not the case.”

The leader immediately replied, “Whether it’s on the Internet or in the real world, most people support this show. Everyone likes it very much and keeps praising it for the positive energy it presents. It’s absolutely impossible to make the Internet a mess.”

“Most people like it, so there are still some who don’t like it.”

The person on the other end of the line shook his head with a smile and said, “If some don’t like it, it means that there is a conflict. So you’d better stop the show from airing first. You must be strict with your shows. You can’t arouse public opinion, much less control it. Don’t make too much of a scene, understand?”

“Well…”

When the leader of the TV station heard this, his face suddenly darkened and he said, “This show is not…”

“That’s enough.”

Without giving Mr. Wang any chance to explain, the person on the other side of the line directly interrupted him and said, “Just do as I say. You don’t have to worry about anything else.”

After that, he hung up.

Listening to the sound of disconnection coming from the phone, Mr. Wang showed a gloomy look on his face.

He had been watching the replay with great ease and excitement, but now he instantly felt great pressure.

He really couldn’t afford to offend the person who called him, nor could he claim ties or kinship with him.

“However, should I stop such a good show from airing as he instructed?

“The contract with Fang Qiu is not a big deal.

“Even if we need to compensate him, the TV station can easily afford it.

“But the thing is, there is nothing wrong with this show at all, and it can bring so many benefits to the TV station. I can’t just take it down.”

After pondering for a while, Mr. Wang stood up directly.

He opened the door of his office, stuck his head out, and said to a staff member who was coming over, “Go get Fang Qiu here immediately.”

All the staff of the TV station knew where Fang Qiu stayed, so when this staff member heard the leader’s instructions, he immediately rushed to the hotel where Fang Qiu stayed and asked him to come over.

Half an hour later, Fang Qiu came to Mr. Wang’s office.

Fang Qiu was quite familiar with Mr. Wang because they had talked with each other at the celebratory banquet before. As soon as he entered the office, he immediately asked, “What do you need by getting me here in such a hurry?”

“Here’s the thing.”

When the leader saw Fang Qiu, he frowned at first and then said, “In fact, I asked you here to talk to you about Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room. I just want to ask you if you can make the show less influential. I received a phone call, and I was told that the show has too much influence and disrupted the network order, so… it would be best if you can keep it down a bit, and there will be less complaints.”

“Complaints?”

Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows and asked, “Whose complaints?”

Mr. Wang smiled wryly, stretched out a finger helplessly, and pointed up.

Fang Qiu understood at a glance.

Obviously, someone was pulling strings to stop him from doing this show.
