Chapter 296 Showing Loyalty
After a while, Chu Yaoyang had already contacted the new media reporter, and then came over and pulled Zhang Zihao along.
"Come on, Hao-ge, it's our turn to go up and take him down, hahaha!"
After they finished speaking, instead of taking the elevator, they chose to climb the stairs floor by floor!
I climbed and rested intermittently, and it took me about ten minutes to finally reach the 12th floor.
Zhang Zihao was so tired he could hardly breathe, and he was wiping away sweat as he stood bent over in front of the stairs.
Chu Yaoyang remained calm, though he was slightly out of breath.
The guy grinned mischievously and came up to Zhang Zihao, saying, "Brother Hao, you seem a bit weak. You need to replenish your energy. Let my sister-in-law make you some goji berry tea. Drinking it for a while will help you feel better!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zihao grinned and took a bottle out of his waist pocket.
After opening the bottle, I poured out a small handful of goji berries and ate them straight into my mouth.
"What the hell?"
Chu Yaoyang stared wide-eyed at the sight, utterly dumbfounded.
When has he ever seen such a grand spectacle?
Eating dried goji berries?!
"What's the point of soaking in hot springs? I eat at least a pound of food every day!"
"My wife stuffs these things into my pockets like snacks, I eat them during the day and at night!"
Zhang Zihao said this with a grin.
"No, what is my sister-in-law trying to do?!"
"Brother, you're getting on in years, you need to take it easy. There are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not land that's been over-plowed..."
Chu Yaoyang felt a chill run down his spine and was terrified.
He kept grinning, and the muscles in his face were twitching.
"You don't know anything! This is called marital intimacy!"
"I'm planning to have a second child. It's rare to see a couple like me, with so much passion and sweetness between us!"
Zhang Zihao took the water Chu Yaoyang handed him and drank it in big gulps.
"That doesn't just mean you have to work that hard!"
"You're taking care of yourself here, while your sister-in-law is sucking on her...tsk tsk tsk!"
Chu Yaoyang shook his head, suddenly feeling that this marriage was quite terrifying.
Zhang Zihao, this gangster boss, used to be as strong as a bear.
One person can easily take on seven or eight.
But now that I look at it, I've climbed 12 floors and I'm exhausted. I'm not as agile as I used to be.
"Stop talking nonsense, go catch that bastard Jin Zhipeng, don't let him get away!"
"Have the media reporters you contacted reported on it?"
As Zhang Zihao spoke, he opened the fire door and walked outside.
"We were all prepared and waiting downstairs!"
"This bastard has to be taught a lesson today!!"
Chu Yaoyang rubbed his hands together and followed Zhang Zihao, his whole body filled with excitement.
The two of them had already circled around the door of the general manager's office.
At this moment, Jin Zhipeng sat in his office with a worried look on his face.
Opposite him sat Zhou Tong, who looked miserable!
Both of them were smoking and looked quite annoyed.
"Damn, can a low-budget film really make a comeback?"
"How could this be? This is more than just a stroke of luck!"
Jin Zhipeng rubbed his head, feeling a sharp pain.
Now, not only their movies, but also they themselves have become a laughing stock online.
The grand ambitions I had made in the film and television industry now felt like slaps in the face.
Let's not even talk about what the media is saying.
Even in front of directors and famous stars in the industry, Jin Zhipeng felt utterly humiliated.
The moment the box office record was set.
He was completely stunned.
The movie they invested so much money in, yet its box office revenue is less than a fraction of that of a low-budget film!
How can this be justified?
What's more, the receptionist just called him and said that two people downstairs were looking for him.
Without a doubt, they're definitely Chen Le's people!
The creditors are knocking on my door, what the hell am I going to do?!
"What's wrong with movie fans these days? They're ignoring big-budget films and watching low-budget ones instead!"
"I think they've just eaten too much delicious food, and suddenly even dog poop smells good!"
Zhou Tong was so angry that his face turned red and he was furious.
He has been unable to eat or sleep properly these past two days.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
The script I wrote myself was surpassed by a small business owner who refused to cooperate with me, and was even completely humiliated.
This dealt a huge blow to his self-esteem and sense of superiority.
Only he could understand this sense of contrast.
Zhou Tong's words only enraged Jin Zhipeng, who slammed his hand on the table.
"You have the nerve to say that? That lousy script you wrote cost me 5,000 million back then!"
"It made me so confident that I made a bet in front of Chen Le and his friends!"
"Now look what's happened! Tens of millions were invested, and not even a ripple was made! Do you know how much money I've lost this time?!"
"I reckon they've already come to ask for the money!"
Jin Zhipeng suddenly lost his temper.
At this moment, Zhou Tong's pent-up grievances also erupted.
"Mr. Jin, what do you mean by that?"
"My script didn't make you lose money, did it? Who would have thought those clowns would turn things around!"
"You think you're the only one who made the bet? Don't forget, I'm in the same boat as you!"
Zhou Tong also banged on the table, furious.
"Ugh!"
Jin Zhipeng sighed, gritting his teeth impatiently, and said, "Alright, they're here to ask for the money now. You'd better find a way to hide!"
Upon hearing that someone had already come to his door to ask for money, Zhou Tong could no longer sit still and suddenly stood up to leave.
Watching him leave, Jin Zhipeng didn't stop him, but instead muttered curses under his breath.
After this guy leaves, I need to find a way to leave the company first and lay low for a while.
He didn't want to give that money away.
That’s 1000 million.
The little money you earn from making movies has to be spent on other things, who the hell would be happy about that!
"You...how did you get here!"
On the other side, the moment Zhou Tong opened the door, he froze on the spot, his eyes wide open.
Take a deep breath.
Jin Zhipeng, who was inside the house, frowned upon seeing this.
"Still refusing to leave, what if Chen Le and his gang block you up later? If you're in trouble, don't drag me down with you!"
But Jin Zhipeng had barely finished speaking when...
Then Zhang Zihao and Chu Yaoyang walked in with their arms crossed and smug looks on their faces.
The two men grabbed Zhou Tong's arm with one hand and forcibly pulled him inside.
Jin Zhipeng was completely stunned.
There are surveillance cameras inside the elevator, and the security guard will notify me once those two guys enter the elevator.
Could it be that they came up via the fire escape?
No wonder they're trained by Chen Le!
This guy is really troublesome!
"Screenwriter Zhou, where are you going?"
Zhang Zihao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a cold voice, a mocking smile curving his lips.
"And Mr. Jin, something about what you just said sounded a bit off to me?"
"What, you're denying it now? When are you going to pay back the money you owe!"
Chu Yaoyang shoved Zhou Tong away.
Their gaze fell on Jin Zhipeng.
