Chapter 53: Hugging Thighs is the Truth
The next morning at around 8 o'clock, Tang Menglong got up and looked at his phone to find several missed calls and many text messages, all of which were from Li Daming in the middle of the night.
Tang Menglong saw Li Daming make so many calls and thought something must have happened, so he called him back.
A moment later, Li Daming's tense voice was heard.
"Dragon Brother, you've finally appeared!" Li Daming's anxious voice came over.
Tang Menglong said strangely: "What's wrong with you again, startled and frightened!"
"Something's happened!"
"What's wrong now?"
"Li Kunhao has been caught!"
"Caught... then... you said caught?" Tang Menglong asked in some astonishment.
Li Daming: "Last night around 1 o'clock, he was taken to the police station. The crew of 'War of Money' said that he stole a digital camera used for filming, and it was discovered yesterday?"
"What?! That kid who always carries a yellow backpack, stole the camera? Isn't his family quite wealthy?" Tang Menglong felt that he was a bit out of his mind.
Li Daming said helplessly: "Of course, I also know that, but the camera was found in his school bag, and he couldn't explain clearly. The crew called the police, and two people were sent to the police station to resolve the dispute. They haven't come back yet... But brother, I think this matter is a bit like last time. Although there have been fewer complaints about us recently, I heard that those directors and TV bureau people are still very dissatisfied with us!"
"Dissatisfied? What's there to be dissatisfied with? These people are just finding fault for no reason. Where is that film crew now?"
"Should still be at yesterday's shooting location! Not far from the company."
Tang Menglong thought for a moment and said, "Notify the others, leave about ten people at the broadcasting building and the office building. Leave two people over there, that's enough. The rest of you go to that film crew and bring back all the camera equipment!"
Li Daming exclaimed in surprise: "Brother, are you crazy? How could they possibly let us bring our filming equipment?"
Tang Menglong's tone was stern: "Idiot, use your brain! Just because he didn't let you bring him doesn't mean you can't? You forcefully take him away and just say it's the Minister's orders. I'm very sorry about what happened yesterday. To prevent such an incident from happening again, before the police department comes to a conclusion and finds the real culprit, for safety equipment, the Security Department will temporarily help with custody!"
Li Daming listened to Tang Menglong's words and laughed and cried: "Brother, this is too unreliable, right? Anyone can see that you're looking for trouble."
"So you think Li Kunhao's matter is reliable, don't worry about it anymore. I'm rushing to the company now, and when you get back later, leave everything else to me. Remember what I taught you and say it as instructed, don't worry even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up!" Tang Menglong said somewhat impatiently.
Li Daming gritted his teeth and said: "I know, I'll notify them right away!"
"Uh, remember, don't take action, even if you can't bring all the camera equipment away, bringing a part of it is fine, as long as they can't shoot anything!" Tang Menglong said while putting on his clothes.
"Got it, bro!"
"I'm hanging up first!"
After hanging up the phone, Tang Menglong quickly changed into a suit, then quickly washed and left home to rush to the company.
At this moment, Tang Menglong was thinking in his heart: "Why is it always like this, every time I get sick, something like this happens!"
But Tang Menglong walked while dialing a phone call, and after a while, the call was connected.
"How did you little brat get my phone number?" a middle-aged man's voice came over.
Tang Menglong didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Old Hei, the director of the Film Bureau, isn't he your man?"
He Jinlie, who was preparing to go out at home when he heard Tang Menglong calling him Old He, immediately found an well character on his forehead, but Tang Menglong's words afterwards made him stunned, and then asked strangely: "Why do you ask this?"
"I'm going to stir up trouble with the Film Bureau, it might get a bit messy. If there's any benefit to be gained from this, you'd better be prepared!"
He Jinlie was somewhat surprised and asked: "Hey, you're not going to kill someone, are you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? What I want is..."
A moment later, He Jinlie stood at the door of his house, furrowed his brow, and then said: "Do you really want to do this? What is your purpose?"
Tang Menglong smiled and replied: "Old Hei, what's my purpose? You've forgotten, I came to Korea because you deceived me, didn't I?"
"You little scamp, you really don't know your place, but if you actually do what you say, it will indeed stir up a big storm. If it works well, there's a chance to bring him down, but at the same time, it will also deal a significant blow to SBS's reputation. But are you really just doing this for those employees of yours?" Heo Jin-yeol asked with some curiosity.
Tang Menglong smiled and said, "Of course! I'll leave the matter of this reporter to you, Uncle! As for the reputation issue, if it's really irreparable, I'll find my friends in the US to help SBS gain momentum. With the collective sense of honor of the Korean people, I believe there's no need for me to say more!"
"It's not as serious as I said, it's a high-level matter of the TV station, so I won't say more to you. But this thing, according to your words, can be operated on! However, you are really powerful now, and even call yourself 'Big Uncle'!"
"It's not win-win!"
"That's uncertain, as the president of the company I will definitely be implicated, and the film bureau will also be affected to some extent. However, let's do it your way, a reporter will contact you later!"
"Okay, I'll hang up first!"
……
For Tang Menglong, if it's about fighting, he fights alone, that's a brave act.
But if these troubles, holding onto a big leg is the truth, especially a thick and sturdy one.
As for that kid named Li Kunhao, whether he stole something or not, Tang Menglong didn't even bother to verify it. To be honest, that simple-minded kid with a missing eye was just what Tang Menglong had said at the security department meeting - he came to the company just to see stars. His yellow backpack always carried a camera and laptop every day, which was simply comparable to paparazzi. He took advantage of his position to take many good things, but these were all collected, and he himself practiced taekwondo, seemingly with several black belts. Tang Menglong didn't care about this person anyway, after all, he wasn't the one who hired him.
He didn't bother with Tang Menglong for the time being. Anyway, things had blown up, and this matter would naturally have a conclusion.
This small world of SBS is about to stir up another bloody storm, and as the "director", Tang Menglong is now heading towards the company.
Bang!
However, just as Tang Menglong was rushing forward, he collided with a person wearing red clothes. What surprised him was that the other party actually retreated two steps.
"Rushing so fast, as if going to reincarnate, today is really unlucky!"
………
Lin Dakuang, the editor-in-chief of the Society section of Dongya Daily, was somewhat excited today. He hadn't expected a phone call from an old classmate he hadn't been in touch with for a long time, and on top of that, his classmate gave him a big news scoop. Then, he also asked Lin to help him out with two things.
Lin Dawei and He Jinlie were university classmates, after entering society they also struggled for a period of time, now they still have occasional contact. Lin Dawei has been in the East Asian newspaper industry for many years, some things don't need to be said to understand, so he let He Jinlie rest assured, everything is fine.
Then a special team was dispatched to contact Tang Menglong and then went to SBS for material collection.
