Qin Ming glanced at Fu Chen and felt that he was implicated by Fu Chen. "Liang Ziyi, do you know each other?"
"Ah?" Liu Meilan and Fu Chen were both stunned. "Was this taken by Liang Ziyi?"
Qin Ming shook his head. "It wasn't Liang Ziyi who took the photo. It was Liang Ziyi's assistant who took the photo. We found that the photo looked like it was developed in a photo studio, so we investigated the photo studios in Shenzhen. Then, based on the photo, we found the person who took the film to develop the photo."
Liu Meilan thought of Liang Ziyi whom she had met at Dong Yunyun's place. That woman had always been obsessed with Fu Chen.
"I know Liang Ziyi, but I don't know Liang Ziyi's assistant." Liu Meilan turned her head and glanced at Fu Chen. "The male beauty brought disaster."
Qin Ming chuckled, "According to my investigation, it's about the same. Liang Ziyi was punished in school, but after leaving school, she still didn't give up."
Fu Chen was speechless, "I really don't want to have anything to do with her."
Liu Meilan also knew that Fu Chen was wronged, so she took his arm and said, "Don't worry about it. Liang Ziyi is restless and has come to me. I will deal with her."
"Meilan, you have been very busy lately and may not know Liang Ziyi's recent movements." Qin Ming reminded. He had learned many things from Tang Xiaoyu.
Liu Meilan was stunned, "What's going on with Liang Ziyi?"
Qin Ming asked: "Do you know who took over Ye Lingling and Dong Yunyun's entertainment company in the end?"
"Could it be this Liang Ziyi?" Liu Meilan asked back.
Qin Ming nodded, "It's her."
Liu Meilan was confused. "How dare she take on such a mess?"
"But the name has been changed." Qin Ming replied, "But the workplace and the basic personnel are still there, just a new name and some information have been changed. The copyright of those songs has fallen into the hands of Liang Ziyi. According to my investigation, she seems to be doing well and earning a lot of money."
Liu Meilan looked puzzled. "Is it on track so quickly? Although I don't like Ye Lingling very much, I admit that Ye Lingling is quite capable. Liang Ziyi, I have met her twice, and she may not be as capable as Ye Lingling. If Liang Ziyi runs the business better than Ye Lingling after taking over, I think it's a bit strange."
Qin Ming thought carefully, "According to my investigation, the entertainment company has achieved profitability and paid taxes on time. The newly recruited actors have commercial performances almost every day, traveling all over the country, and some of them have even released records, which are selling well."
Fu Chen frowned. He didn't understand why Liang Ziyi came to Shenzhen. Was it just to cause trouble for Liu Meilan? He didn't think so.
"The Liang family's headquarters is in Jinling, and Liang Ziyi appeared in Shenzhen and opened an entertainment company. It's really strange." Fu Chen frowned, "It's not easy for an entertainment company to make money, but her company can still make a lot of profit without any big-name stars or singers. It seems that making money is easy."
Liu Meilan thought about it, and then thought of a possibility. She lowered her voice and whispered, "Could it be money laundering?"
"Money laundering?" Qin Ming was stunned, then fell silent. "Don't talk about it for now. Let's find a time alone tomorrow to talk about it slowly. I'll bring some investigation materials over, and you can help me analyze them."
Just now, after Qin Ming heard the word "money laundering", it seemed as if the fog had been cleared.
Liu Meilan and Fu Chen nodded. This was indeed not the time to talk about this. Even if Ye Qiang and Hu Jian were trustworthy people, it was not appropriate to leak the news.
It seemed like they had endless things to say, but they were all decent people. After finishing their meal and chatting for a while, Ye Qiang took Tang Xiaoyu away. "Xiaoyu needs to go to bed early, so we'll take our leave first."
"I'm leaving too." Hu Jian said, "My wife is back from her business trip, so I'll stay with her longer."
Originally, Fu Chen and Liu Meilan were going to return to the house near the pier, but Qin Ming wanted to talk to Liu Meilan more, "Let's go back to the courtyard and talk more."
Liu Meilan wanted to go back to Sifang Island tomorrow, so she wanted to solve Qin Ming's doubts tonight. "Okay, go get the information, and then come back to my house."
"Okay!" Qin Ming agreed and drove back to the unit.
Liu Meilan and Fu Chen returned to their home in the staff quarters, where Linghua was applying a facial mask.
"Cousin, Brother Fu, please come in. Have you eaten?" Linghua asked happily. She was very happy that her cousin came back.
"I have!" Liu Meilan nodded, "Linghua, your mask smells really good!"
"Cousin, go take a shower and I'll put a facial mask on you." Linghua said, "This is the top-notch skin care product that our boss Ruan brought me from abroad. After you put on the facial mask, your skin will be more hydrated and elastic tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go take a shower now." Liu Meilan also wanted to apply such a mask, feel it, and find the key, "Fu Chen, go next door, the pajamas you wore last time are in the guest room."
Fu Chen took the key and went to wash up.
Fifteen minutes later, Liu Meilan had already put on a facial mask on her face. "Why don't you watch TV but listen to music? Is this a new song? I don't think I've heard it before."
Linghua nodded, her tone full of resentment, "This is an album released by a singer under Zhonghua Entertainment Company. It sold 950,000 copies in a month, which is more than my album sales. What's hateful is that my album has so many pirated copies, but this album with such high sales has so few pirated copies. Is their company doing a good job of preventing piracy?"
Liu Meilan listened to the song carefully, "Are all the songs in this style?"
"It's pretty much the same." Linghua frowned. "Anyway, I can't hear anything good about it. It's just ordinary, even a bit common. The price of their album is more expensive than mine. I watched the production of their album, and it's actually not sophisticated. The cost is not as high as the production cost of my album. Mr. Ruan also asked someone to study it, but he didn't find out anything."
Liu Meilan narrowed her eyes and asked, "What's the name of Zhonghua's boss? Do you know?"
"Yes, Liang Ziyi." Linghua replied, "I was there when our President Ruan was researching this album."
Liu Meilan touched her chin and frowned in thought.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
Liu Meilan went to open the door. Through the peephole, she saw Fu Chen and Qin Ming at the door. "Come in."
Linghua saw Qin Ming holding a stack of documents and placing them on the coffee table, and blinked, "Do you need me to step aside?"
"No need!" Qin Ming stopped him. "I just want to ask you a professional question. Of course, don't tell anyone about what we talked about."
When Linghua heard this, she sat down and nodded quickly, "I won't say anything. Brother Qin Ming, what's the matter?"
Qin Ming asked: "What do you think of Zhonghua Entertainment? Based on your experience in this industry, tell me your true feelings."
Linghua was startled, "Are you investigating Zhonghua Entertainment?"
Linghua still has fresh memories of the predecessor of Zhonghua Entertainment. At a birthday "party", almost all the artists failed, and many people sang "Tears Behind Bars" in prison.
