Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Official Business Must Be Conducted Officially!
Lu Guan's words were very sophisticated; he cleaned his hands of any involvement with just one sentence, expressing his resentment towards Director Ma while also claiming to be completely unaware of any wrongdoing towards Song Yun.
Song Yun coldly observed everything that happened while sitting in his chair.
As a pampered middle-aged man, Lu Guan's physical strength was not great. After slapping more than a dozen times, he grew tired and collapsed where he stood.
It wasn't just physical exhaustion; it was also psychological. Tianyu had just been acquired by Mountains and Waters Corporation, and one problem after another had arisen. As President, he couldn't dodge responsibility.
Director Ma's already somewhat plump face was now swollen and red; his eyes were reduced to mere slits.
He was clearly stunned, lying on the ground, unable to utter a single word for a long while.
"Director Song... I know I was wrong... I... I really didn't know Miss Xiao Wan was your... sister... otherwise even with a hundred guts...
I wouldn't dare..."
Director Ma stammered this out, his words filled with pleading.
Song Yun lit a cigarette and remained silent.
So Tianyu had already rotted to this extent, with colleagues being sidelined, shady rules behind the scenes, and causing industry bans. And this was just one director. What if the senior executives were involved?
With that thought, Song Yun resolved to seriously overhaul Tianyu's internal situation.
Lost in thought, Song Yun saw Ye Qingqing stand up. As the president of a corporation, her ability to handle things was not something an ordinary person could withstand.

"Ma Dongyang, you've got some nerve! Daring to bully my sister, what's next, you think you can get forceful?!!"
"I wouldn't dare... I wouldn't dare..."
"Heh, you think you can trifle with the Song Family and get away with it? There's no room for your excuses!"
Ye Qingqing's beautiful eyes emitted a cold light as she said, "Over the years you've been a director, you've coerced numerous young girls, haven't you? It's just that my sister Wan Wan was fortunate enough to escape, but what about those girls from families with no backing? I may not have very high moral standards, but I'm still extremely angry when I see behavior like yours! So, you're finished!"
Hearing this, Director Ma, a lump of fat, collapsed on the ground, no longer even desiring to get up.
At this point, Lu Guan stood to the side, wishing he could find a crack to crawl into, constantly praying in his heart, "Don't notice me, don't notice me."
He was extremely scared, not just of Song Yun's immense wealth but more so of the backing of Mountains and Waters Corporation. If Mountains and Waters joined the boycott against him, he might as well forget about working in this field for the rest of his life.
"Damn it, Ma Dongyang! Even wanting to take me down with you when you die!"
Song Yun slowly stood up, his face betraying no emotion. After all he had experienced in Magic Capital, and the thoughts imparted by Father Ye, someone in his position had to remain unflappable in the face of crises, his emotions concealed.
Therefore, the calmer he appeared, the more uneasy Lu Guan and Director Ma felt, no one knowing if this calm was the precursor to a storm!
"Ma Dongyang, you've coerced young girls, sidelined colleagues, and disrupted the company's internal atmosphere—you've done well, wielding more power than even I, the big boss."
Upon hearing these words that struck at the heart, Director Ma scrambled to his feet, his eyes brimming with tears as he wailed, "Director Song, I didn't do it on purpose! And as a director all these years, they were the ones knocking on my door in the middle of the night wanting to discuss the script with me! I never had those intentions at the start, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
Song Yun snorted and pointed at Lu Guan, asking, "Did you know about these things he's done?"
"Not at all!"
Lu Guan hastily disavowed any connection.
"He's reached out to those companies to ban Wan Wan, did you know about that?"
"I don't know, but I can find out!"
"Hmm!"
With Song Yun's agreement, Lu Guan made calls to the heads of various major entertainment companies on speakerphone right in front of Song Yun.
In the end, it was determined that the scumbag Ma Dongyang had notified thirteen companies to join in blacklisting Xiao Wan.
These thirteen companies had over forty production teams; it could be said that almost every shooting location in the Forty-nine City had received the news.
"These companies are also harmful to the group, don't you think, Mr. Lu?"
Song Yun's plain words made Lu Guan's heart tighten. Was Chairman Song planning to rectify the industry?
"What do you mean?"
"Issue a statement, dissolving partnerships where there are collaborations, and pull out all invested funds where there is investment. Do you understand?"
"Understood!!!"
Lu Guan wasn't concerned about the kind of impact these actions would cause; his only thought was to save himself!
So after he called those senior executives, he instructed them in no uncertain terms to notify those companies one by one.
Although the company's top brass was confused, they had never heard Lu Guan speak with such urgency and agreed to comply.
Seeing Song Yun act so decisively, Director Ma felt a chill in his heart. If those companies found out he was the real instigator, he would surely become the sinner of the entire industry!
Perhaps with self-preservation in mind, Director Ma urgently said, "Chairman Song, you can hit me or scold me, but you can't cancel the partnerships with those companies. That would cost Tian Entertainment to lose hundreds of millions!"
But it was as if Song Yun hadn't heard him and he said to Lu Guan, "What do you plan to do with this man?"
Lu Guan secretly rejoiced, feeling that his actions had greatly pleased Chairman Song.
It was just about dealing with a minor director, and though he had initially thought about undermining Ma Dongyang discreetly, now that he could do it openly, he was determined to handle it thoroughly!
"Chairman Song! I think Ma Dongyang does not deserve to be a director. His crimes over the years are enough to put him behind bars working the sewing machine. Therefore, I plan to issue a public declaration through Tian Entertainment's official channels to announce Ma Dongyang's dismissal and then hand him over to the public security authorities!"
"How does that sound?"
Lu Guan said with a sycophantic smile. There was a lot implied in this approach: once it's determined that Ma Dongyang violated company regulations and caused significant damage, the company can reclaim the illegal gains he made over the years, as well as a large compensation fee, enough to bankrupt Ma Dongyang!
"Inform me after you've handled it."
Song Yun patted Lu Guan's shoulder and left with the two women.
Lu Guan breathed a sigh of relief and poured himself a full glass of baijiu, downing it in one gulp. The psychological pressure Song Yun had brought was immense; in just this short time, he felt as if he had already taken a stroll by the gates of hell!
"Mr. Lu! Old classmate! Please have mercy and spare my life!"
Seeing that there were no outsiders in the VIP room, Ma Dongyang clung to Lu Guan's legs, pleading, "Give me one hour's time, and I'll leave the country immediately, causing you no trouble. Please, my old classmate, remember our..."
"Enough!" Lu Guan kicked Ma Dongyang to the side and said viciously, "When you were coercing those young girls, why didn't you consider the consequences? The situation you're in today is of your own doing!"
"You can choose to die without involving me, but if you drag me down with you, I won't let you rest in peace even when you're working the sewing machine!"
