1595 [The Betrayal and Separation]
With the arrival of the police, Huang Yulang, who was still waving on the stage just now, suddenly became depressed.
The flash lights that illuminated from time to time in the audience made him feel so beautiful just now, but now he feels extremely embarrassed, his face blushing to the point of being hot.
Today is the day when his new company is opened. He should have been interviewed by reporters in a grand manner, and then he took the opportunity to launch a new comic and sell it all, and fired the first shot to make a comeback.
But now, the opening ceremony was completely ruined because of the outbreak of this scandal.
From a celebration ceremony to his "funeral ceremony". From then on, a generation of comic masters "dead" was replaced by a prisoner who embezzled public funds.
"Mr. Huang, sorry, please cooperate with our investigation." The police officer said, and then ordered someone to step forward and lift Huang Yulang out.
Seeing this, the reporters were all excited to take photos and felt that today was worth it. Huang Yulang, the grand master of comics, actually became a prisoner. This is really explosive news!
Contrary to the excitement of the reporters, the employees of the Jade Dynasty on the stage were all gray and dumb.
Except for Qi Wenjie, they are all painters who have just been poached by Huang Yulang. They were still very happy and looking forward to being able to cooperate with Huang Yulang, the master.
But unexpectedly, on the first day of the new company opening, Huang Yulang was taken away by the police and may be sentenced. In this way, the company has no leader, and I really don’t know how many days it will last. If the company goes bankrupt, their situation will be very embarrassing.
There were only a few comic companies in Hong Kong, including Yufeng Group, Tianxia Comics and Baerai, which accounted for 99% of the comics market.
They had just jumped from the 82 Painting Club, so naturally they could not go back there. However, Tianxia Comics and Yufeng Group have been merged into one, so whether they will take in these traitors is also a big question.
So now their mood is really bitter.
"What should Brother Jie do now?" Wen Rilang asked Qi Wenjie for advice.
"Don't panic, Huang Sheng is just cooperating with the investigation now, and there will be no major issues for the time being. Moreover, even if you sue and sentence in the future, it will not be enough for a year or two." Qi Wenjie comforted everyone, "It's enough for the company to grow and grow. So you don't have to worry about anything, just do your own thing."
After hearing what he said, Wen Rilang, Niu Lao and other talents felt a little more at ease.
"Okay, you guys go back and do things. The Dragon and Tiger Society will be published tomorrow, and there are still many things to be busy with." Qi Wenjie said again, "I will send the reporters away first, and then go to the police station to visit Huang Sheng. If you have any trouble, just hit my elder brother."
"Okay." Everyone nodded and went back to the company to do things.
...
Qi Wenjie then came to the reporters, "Everyone, I'm sorry, something happened to me, which scared everyone."
"Mr. Qi, as far as you know, has Mr. Huang embezzled public funds?"
"Can his newly opened comic company be founded with stolen money?"
"Mr. Qi, how much money did Mr. Huang embezzle? If he goes to jail, have you considered your future?"
The reporters asked one after another.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, there is nothing to say about this. Please don't ask any more questions." Qi Wenjie waved his hand depressedly.
These reporters are really hateful. He is already annoying enough. They still have to ask around him. Can't they leave some space for him?!
"Please also show mercy to give Huang Sheng some face when reporting." Qi Wenjie then begged.
The reporters heard him say this, but they didn't make any mistakes.
If you want to suppress such heavyweight news, it is not enough to just rely on empty talk and white teeth to say this. At least you have to give tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of public relations fees. Qi Wenjie has no words now and doesn’t even want to answer a question. He also wants them to show mercy and stop dreaming!
When Qi Wenjie saw their playful eyes, he knew that they wanted money. However, although he was the vice president of the company, the financial power was actually in the hands of Huang Yulang. Without other people's approval, he could not take out a penny. Therefore, even if these reporters' hints were obvious, he could not satisfy them, so he had to pretend to be ignorant.
...
Just as he was about to squeeze out the crowd and went to the police station to see Huang Yulang, he suddenly saw someone, which made him stunned.
That person was Zhang Wanyou, who was denounced as a traitor by Huang Yulang.
"Why is he here?" Qi Wenjie was surprised.
Just then, Zhang Wanyou squeezed into the crowd and came to him, "Ajie, come with me, I have something to say to you."
"If you have anything to do, I will go to the police station to see my master." Qi Wenjie refused.
"Hmph, you treat someone as a master, and they treat you as a fool!" Zhang Wanyou couldn't help but sneer when he saw Qi Wenjie was still loyal to Huang Yulang.
"What do you mean?" Qi Wenjie couldn't help asking when he heard this.
Zhang Wanyou smiled, "Want to know?! Okay, come with me, I'll tell you everything."
After hearing what he said, Qi Wenjie couldn't help but hesitate.
At this moment, the reporter also recognized that the person who spoke to Qi Wenjie was Zhang Wanyou, one of Huang Yulang's apprentices.
This made them very excited and they quickly interviewed Zhang Wanyou again.
"Mr. Zhang, I heard that you are Huang Yulang's favorite disciple, and you also quit Yulang comics with him, but why are you not in the new company?" the reporter asked curiously.
"Because I was squeezed for too long, I finally woke up two days ago." When Zhang Wanyou heard the reporter's question, he immediately fired.
Seeing him say this, it seemed that there was something in his words. The reporters' eyes lit up and they quickly asked again, "Mr. Zhang, who is trying to squeeze you? Can you tell me in detail?"
"Of course the one who exploited me was Huang Yulang. Everyone, I was seventeen years old. When I was in middle school, I followed Huang Yulang and created the popular comic "Drunk Fist" for him. Moreover, "Dragon and Tiger Gate" has been compiled and painted by me since 1983. However, Huang Yulang did not allow me to sign the comic, but signed his own name and robbed my credit.
In terms of treatment, he is also favored by one. The monthly sales of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" I led is as high as 500,000 copies, but my income is only 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. Ma Rongcheng's "Hero of Zhonglong" has only more than 400,000 copies, but it has more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is more than twice as much as me." Zhang Wanyou said passionately.
He was already angry and hated Huang Yulang to the core, so now he was naturally ruthless in revelation.
When the reporter heard his revelations, he didn't think it was explosive. He just felt that it was just a resigned employee complaining to his boss and had no high reporting value.
However, when Qi Wenjie heard him say this, he was stunned, and then grabbed Zhang Wanyou's arm, "Are you true? Ma Rongcheng's monthly income is really more than 200,000?"
He is responsible for "Drunk Fist" in Yulang comics, and the monthly sales of this comic are similar to "Hello Zhonglong", with about 400,000 copies.
Therefore, he always thought that his salary was similar to that of Ma Rongcheng. Now that he heard Zhang Wanyou’s revelations, he realized that he had earned so much less than Ma Rongcheng, and he was immediately dissatisfied.
"What I lied to you to do, I have evidence in my hands. When you follow me later, I will show it to you." Zhang Wanyou looked at him, and then said to the reporters, "What I can't stand the most is that he actually wants to frame me and wants to kill me."
"Oh?!What do you say?" Hearing that he said, the reporters were in high spirits and asked quickly.
"After I learned the truth about my exploitation, I didn't plan to fuck him anymore. He hated me for this, so he pretended to keep me and gave me five million Hong Kong dollars." Zhang Wanyou said, "But that money was actually the public funds he embezzled from the company. Now that I have been investigated by the police, you say, his heart is so poisonous!"
"Mr. Zhang, has Mr. Huang really embezzled public funds? How much has he misappropriated in total?" The reporters saw that he finally leaked a lot of information and asked quickly.
"I heard from the police that he embezzled a total of 20 million Hong Kong dollars this time," said Zhang Wanyou.
"Wow, there are quite a lot." The reporters said excitedly when they heard this.
On the other side, Qi Wenjie was a little surprised, "His he really gave you five million Hong Kong dollars?"
"Of course, I have a check stub on my body." Zhang Wan said a little, "When he gave it to me, he repeatedly told me not to tell you."
After hearing what he said, Qi Wenjie immediately smiled bitterly, feeling like a fool.
He originally thought that he was Huang Yulang's most respected and beloved disciple, think tank, and confidant. Therefore, the talented man died for his confidant, and willingly with him to withdraw from Yulang's comics, accompanied him to start a new life and help him make a comeback.
Now that he heard Zhang Wanyou say this, he realized that he was also a fool. Huang Yulang paid Ma Rongcheng more than twice as much as he did. Poor he thought he was a confidant, but it turned out that this was the treatment he was "confidant"!
Thinking of the fact that I worked hard to establish a new company these days, I just tried my best to help him comfort other employees of the company, and also asked him for mercy to the reporters...
Qi Wenjie really felt that he was kind-hearted and treated it as a donkey, and even helped him count the money when he was sold.
"Okay, come with me." Zhang Wanyou sighed when he saw his expression. A few days ago, when he heard this news, his behavior was the same as Qi Wenjie.
If Mao Mingwei hadn't told him the truth, he would have continued to do things like Qi Wenjie and help Huang Yulang do things until he dies like a stupid camel.
Qi Wenjie nodded.
He originally wanted to visit Huang Yulang at the police station, but now he doesn't have to.
If Huang Yulang was really as Zhang Wanyou said and had been favoring one and the other, he would have wished that Huang Yulang would be directly imprisoned.
