The fourth area is a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
When the Vadim Rebellion broke out, even companies such as Law Enforcement and Kolo Films did not expect that so many people who wanted to replace them would emerge in the city at once.
But compared with Vadim, these people obviously lack a sense of proportion.
Kolo Films’ plan is not to cultivate a group of rabble-rousers who don’t obey orders and make trouble everywhere. What they need is a group of obedient “watchdogs” who can handle some dirty work for them. On this basis , corporate-funded law enforcement will turn a blind eye.
When Guan Lili received the notice of the emergency meeting, several students from the "Rescuer Master" program team had been injured in the battle with criminals who appeared out of nowhere.
If the instructor hadn't arrived quickly, the student's death would have been very likely.
Guan Lili's intuition told her that besides the poor minds of those who tried to replace Vadim, there must be someone instigating them behind the scenes.
While the entire Fourth District was in chaos, the theme of this emergency meeting was "Discussion on the Establishment of a New Rescuer Department."
The scandal of founder Zingosi has also tarnished the reputation of rescuers. Although the foundation's media company has recently begun to help rescuers reverse their reputation, there is still a discussion on "whether the privileges of today's rescuers are still legitimate." Becoming more and more.
Many people have argued that if they cannot fulfill their duties as rescuers, they should not continue to enjoy many privileges and the love of people.
This time, even those fanatic fans who usually have the strongest combat power did not launch a charge under the deliberate instigation of the company, and the groupies seemed to have reached some kind of subtle consensus.
Everyone is waiting for a list or a press conference from Khloe Films.
They want to know which rescuers were promoted by the company.
This was the first time since the death of the founder that the two groups came to discuss issues in the Eden Hotel conference room.
"We have prepared the list and the speech text of the press conference, please take a look."
The first person to speak was the director of the marketing department. He controls this department that is crucial to Kolo Films. Naturally, he is also a strong competitor for the next person in charge of the company. At the same time, he is also the person behind the plan to "support the evil party" One of the plans, the marketing department has always believed that this is the most convenient and effective means for the company.
"List?"
Guan Lili sneered. He and the director of the marketing department had never dealt with each other, but this was more based on personal grudges.
When she left the front line, it was due to a dispute with this man about the rescuer's future packaging route.
However, the director of the marketing department seemed to have been prepared for this, saying, "I know that this list will be related to the vital interests of everyone here, so I adhere to the most fair and equitable approach and leave everything to data. Using five years as a time limit, we screen out those who have experienced negative news, a decrease in market value, and a delay in improvement in the past five years. This can also help the company solve a lot of 'junk assets' at once. "
Guan Lili glanced at the meeting materials.
It was filled with dense data, and not surprisingly, England's name was also listed among them.
Thinking about it carefully, she had more contact with Song Lan because of this outdated national rescuer. However, on this issue, although she was reluctant, she had to agree with the judgment of the data.
Inglie's several failed transformations made him infamous, and his own comeback plan in District 17 also failed to work. For Kolo Films, he has undoubtedly become a negative asset to the company.
Guan Lili is a rational person. If she were in the past, she would probably adopt the proposal of taking a step back on this issue.
After all, once the rescuer loses legitimacy, it does no good to either of them.
But it's different now.
Now she is a partner of justice, and she has already thought of a way out.
If their final struggle dealt the final blow to the already shaky Kolo Films, she would run to District 17 and find a job.
In her opinion, the current District 17 is probably the safest place within the coalition government.
Guan Lili has recently compiled a lot of urban construction information in the 17th District. After the Ragus Foundation settled in, it has brought prosperity to the entire city's economy. She is very optimistic that the 17th District can become a first-tier city under the joint government in the future.
As a resourceful corporate elite who has gone through countless experiences, Guan Lili already has her next plan.
Buy a house!
While the city is still under construction, quickly buy a few properties, and then wait for their prices to increase several times. After working hard in the workplace for so many years, it is time to enjoy life as a leisurely renter.
Therefore, on the issue of the list, justice partner Guan Lili will not make any compromises. “What people need is the real list, not the results calculated by data.”
"The real list?"
The director of the marketing department couldn't believe his ears, and even the executives in the same camp as Guan Lili looked confused.
They have to admit that the current list is the most objective and fair result that is in the best interest of the company.
"Director Guan, I sincerely hope that the grievances between us will not affect your judgment. Everyone, including the Council, is waiting for a final result. It is not good for both of us to continue to delay."
He could only regard this as Guan Lili's attitude after old grudges came to light, rather than a reply from a professional person.
Regardless of whether they support it in their hearts or not, they are destined to bid farewell to the word "real" on the first day they come to Kolo Films. It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, every rescuer under Kolo Films has more or less There are few problems. If we really pursue authenticity in this industry, it will be like overturning the table.
“This is an opportunity to say goodbye to the Khloe Films of the past.”
"I think you, Director Guan, have not had a good rest these past few days and are a little confused."
The director of the marketing department was silent for a long time before he said this, because not only him, but also Guan Lili's allies felt the outrageousness of this statement.
It was hard for them to imagine that this was what someone of Guan Lili's rank could say.
Everyone here couldn't help but wonder if Guan Lili had not understood the nature of this factional struggle.
Releasing the real list to the outside world, or completely cutting off from the past Kolo Films are just the reasons raised during the struggle. The ultimate goal is to gain the support of public opinion and the council, and become the next Kolo Films leader. Those in power.
No one among them has ever really had any illusions about "justice" and "fairness." Just like the rescuers in the past, these are their means of quickly gaining fame.
Therefore, even Guan Lili's "allies" have never really wanted to announce the real list. What they value is how much concessions the other party is willing to make in order to reach a consensus with them.
But in this process, Guan Lili seemed to be the only one who believed it to be true.
Innocent like a kid who just arrived in District 4.
The meeting became particularly dull.
For everyone, these two and a half hours became extremely torturous. Under Guan Lili's steady performance, the two groups failed to reach consensus on any issue.
Guan Lili noticed that at the end of the meeting, the faces of her allies were even more gloomy than the director of the marketing department. She even suspected that her allies would assassinate her before her competitors, or at least give her a slap in the face. Sap comes to vent his anger.
She was the only one who felt refreshed. This was the first time she had truly spoken freely in a meeting.
Being so popular that you lose consciousness is really a relief.
No wonder Song Lan gets angry at her every chance she gets!
However, in order to avoid being sprayed when she went out, Guan Lili waited until everyone had left the conference room before going out alone.
"It seems your meeting didn't go very well."
A voice from around the corner startled her.
"Shaw Grant, can you stop being scary? I thought they hired a killer so quickly."
"Is it serious enough that your opponent wants to hire a killer to assassinate you?"
"Should be allies."
"What on earth have you done that is so outrageous?"
Xiao Grant was shocked. He found it even more incredible that Guan Lili looked relaxed in the face of the possibility of being assassinated at any time.
"I did what I always wanted to do but never dared to do."
Of course, Guan Lili knows what other senior officials are thinking. According to the "rules of the game", the so-called real list has been the bargaining chip between the two parties from the beginning, and the power advocated by the two groups will provide standards for the third-party referee committee.
The winner will become the next helmsman of Khloe Films.
But now, everyone has discovered Guan Lili's conspiracy.
She doesn't want to participate in this game, and she has no interest in the next Khloe Pictures taking power. She just wants to knock everyone here unconscious.
"...Are you under too much pressure recently? I know a good psychiatrist in District 1. She also consulted with Hogg-Foster some time ago."
Only Xiao Grant would talk to Guan Lili like this.
Few people know that Guan Lili was his first agent. They jointly established the program "Rescuer Master", but after Guan Lili was transferred, he was also transferred to other agents.
"Mr. Shaw Grant, why did you come to this city in the first place?"
Guan Lili slowly walked to the window.
The sky outside the window has dimmed. Looking down from the 73-story building, you can vaguely see the streets under martial law.
Law enforcement and detectives are on the streets, and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
"Me? Let me think."
This question is not unfamiliar. Shaw Grant has encountered the same problem on countless occasions. His team prepared a watertight answer script for him. In 2167, he did not even need to memorize the script, as long as the data chip was stored in the operation In the system, these answers that combine the wisdom of the entire team can be called up at any time.
But this time, he was silent for a long time and thought carefully.
"Fight crime."
I don't know how long it took before he said.
In fact, he didn't have such lofty ideals. He remembered that he signed up to be a rescuer just to get more permissions. These permissions would allow him to bypass his superiors in the department and get the clues he really wanted.
Before coming to District 4, Shaw Grant never imagined that he would become the "angry mentor" he is today.
He paused and asked, "What about you?"
"Become a partner of justice...what is that look in your eyes?"
"It's hard to imagine that's what you said."
Xiao Grant had goosebumps all over his body. He now seemed to understand why Guan Lili said that her allies were going to assassinate her.
"Remember the publicity strategy of Kolo Films a few years ago? The rescuers are the embodiment of justice, and we staff are partners of justice."
"Of course, that project passed your hands."
"It can only be said that nine out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory."
At Kolo Films, everyone is a partner of justice, and everyone is racking their brains every day to think about how to make their rescuers more in line with people's imagination of the incarnation of justice.
But in fact, no one in the company believes that there are really honest saviors in this world.
Even if it does, the city can change them quickly.
Fame, power, wealth, nothing is more addictive than this, and in this city, being famous means everything.
So when she raised objections at the meeting today, everyone was shocked.
They would rather believe that she was distracted by personal grudges, and even hitting her head on the bedside table when she got up in the morning was much more convincing.
"Why, have you suddenly discovered your conscience?"
Shaw Grant was in a complicated mood, and Lili Guan was the leader on the road to his rescue. Lili Guan taught him the rules of this city, as well as how to get along with the company and fans. Even at Kolo Films, she was very There are few people who know the ropes better than her.
Because of this, she was able to get to where she is today from a small role that no one knew about.
It was hard for Xiao Grant to imagine that people like Guan Lili would behave in such a motivated manner. They all knew the consequences of the end of this meeting.
Out of self-interest considerations, those allies would immediately abandon Guan Lili.
"I still don't understand, why would you do this?"
"You want to know why?"
Guan Lili turned her face sideways and winked at Xiao Grant playfully.
For a moment, he was in a daze.
Time seemed to go back several years ago, and he seemed to be able to meet Guan Lili, who had a beautiful dream and left home alone to work hard in the fourth district.
Shaw Grant is ready for those great, glorious words. You can hear those beautiful words in every interview with Chloe Films, but this time, he is willing to believe that what Lili Guan said is true.
"Of course it's because I have saved enough money."
"……ah?"
This answer is a little different from Shaw Grant's imagination.
Guan Lili's eyes were still hot and sincere, "I can do whatever I want."
Small theater its two hundred and forty-two:
A certain day of a certain year, a certain day of the month, Sunday, afternoon
"Are you so happy that I'm on a business trip?"
Lu Xiang's interrogation continues, and this conversation is full of dangers.
Although Song Lan tensed up and looked like she was admitting her defeat, as the head of the counter-intelligence department, her instinct told her that this stupid bird must be hiding something from her.
There is no need for Song Lan to delete the surveillance video with a guilty conscience because of this kind of thing. He has never been so guilty before when it was more annoying than this.
"I won't do it next time. If you want to be beaten or punished, it's up to you."
"Well, admitting your mistake is a good attitude, but you reminded me of a word."
"What word?"
"Being a thief with a guilty conscience."
Lu Xiang ignored Song Lan's obstruction and conducted a more in-depth investigation. After completely checking the security system at home, she discovered the clue - this video was not a complete clip. Before that, there were The other deleted part, and more importantly, the previous deleted part was so secretive that even she was almost fooled.
Song Lan was not good at this. The only reasonable explanation was that he entrusted Baizhu to help.
"Wait a minute, I have already admitted my mistake, there is no need to continue reading!"
The panic in Song Lan's words further confirmed Lu Xiang's premonition.
She ignored the other party and restored the video hidden by Bai Zhu in person.
The music and images are highly similar to the previous performance, except that the instrument in Night Heron's hand is replaced by an oven door.
As the performance progressed, Lu Xiang watched helplessly as the door of the oven was torn off by Night Heron.
In an instant, she felt her blood pressure rise.
"You even broke the oven!"
