After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 508 Did your side also use some power?

Although he didn't know what Lu Mingye meant by asking that question, he still answered truthfully.

He was referring to a university with a relatively high world ranking, but Sheng Hanyu put on a proper and polite smile.

Lu Mingye: "..."

He knew that Sheng Hanyu's school was one of the world's top schools, but was it really necessary?

There's really no need for him to suddenly feel a sense of oppression from the school level so many years after graduation!

Ye Sanqing: ?

She doesn't really understand these things, or even value them much, but the world seems to value academic qualifications quite a bit.

"But Lu Dongli won't be any better off at Ye Siqing's school... I understand."

Ye Sanqing sent a message to Ning Leyi, asking if she knew Lu Dongli.

She remembered that this person knew everything.

She also sent Song Taotao a large red envelope with the note "DDDD".

I understand everything I understand.

Now that Song Taotao is starting to be useful, she can give appropriate positive feedback, and this is definitely something that Lu Mingye's side cannot give.

Song Taotao replied quickly, first sending a question mark before clicking "collect".

She seemed to know what was going on. Since her internet speed was so fast, she must have seen the photos that Lu Mingye had arranged earlier, and now she definitely knew that the two of them had communicated.

So she replied, "Of course."

Ye Sanqing switched the dialog box with satisfaction, and Ning Leyi replied quickly as well.

I know this guy... It's kind of funny, he tried to be the school bully, but nobody fell for it. What's wrong with him?

Ye Sanqing thought about it and realized that Lu Dongli wasn't really an important person, but if he broke the law or committed any crimes, it wouldn't be a bad idea to report him.

His behavior and conduct are not very proper, so...

Ning Leyi: [1]

Although it's unknown whether Lu Dongli will still have the means to do this kind of thing after Ni Quan goes to jail, keeping an eye on him is definitely the right thing to do.

Lu Mingye raised an eyebrow. "An informant?"

He thought Ye Sanqing would say this to Ye Siqing, but he didn't know that their relationship wasn't actually that close.

The main reason is that Ye Siqing is studying medicine... It's a miracle if she can even leave the school alive during holidays, otherwise she's practically a walking corpse.

Or it's the kind of person whose movements are slow and whose head is stiff due to excessive academic workload.

"Yes, I do, but I won't share it with you. What I want to ask is, do you have any conflict of interest with Lu Dongli?"

Lu Mingye answered seriously, "It's fine to say yes or no. He's a member of the Lu family, so there's a natural conflict between us, mainly regarding inheritance. But it doesn't conflict with me personally."

"This time, the hidden Seventh Concubine has finally gotten moving... but her conflict with the Ninth Concubine doesn't seem to have much significance for us. I don't think the results are very satisfactory."

“You’re right. Ninth Concubine doesn’t have much real power. She’s just favored by my grandfather… uh…” Lu Mingye felt disgusted by his own words and then said, “But I suspect that some of her assets have been transferred out of her name. Seventh Concubine might be after that.”

"You mean if I can help you get the assets, you'll have more power to repay me, right?"

Lu Mingye nodded.

"Does Lu Wangshen know about your idea?" Ye Sanqing asked, his gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny.

“I don’t know if he knows, but it’s best to assume he does. I suspect he’s trying to find evidence against Ni Quan to keep him from coming out.”

Ye Sanqing knew that Ni Quan's imprisonment was, in principle, also a way to weaken the power of the Ninth Concubine, even though she probably didn't have much power to begin with...

"I don't have any good options," Ye Sanqing said, shaking his head after thinking for a moment. "You'd better start with Ye Wanyin."

"You're too accurate. How did you know she was planning to visit Ye Wanyin on set, trying to break into the entertainment industry?" Lu Mingye asked, somewhat surprised.

"What's wrong? Her performance on the wedding day? She just had to outshine Ye Wanyin. It was so obvious, how could I not see it? Do you think I'm blind?" Ye Sanqing replied with a questioning tone.

Sheng Hanyu: Continue to smile politely.

I knew Lu Mingye wasn't perceptive enough; I could tell she'd figured it out a long time ago.

“I can help with that,” he added. “Is your plan to set up a hollow project for her to invest in, without actually doing the work yourself?”

"Thank you, Mr. Sheng," Lu Mingye said directly. "We'll discuss it in detail later."

Now that he has revealed the core operation, there is nothing more to explain. We just need to contact him about the project details later.

Strictly speaking, this matter is not illegal. The main issue is that if Ninth Concubine really wants to be the leading lady, then she has no choice but to bring her own investment to the production. If the drama she acts in doesn't become popular, then it's only natural that it won't be a hit.

The reason this plan is feasible is that Ninth Concubine herself wanted to transform her career and strongly wanted to outdo Ye Wanyin. They were simply replicating Ye Wanyin and Lu Wangqian's previous actions, so that Ninth Concubine would see that there was a precedent and wouldn't think there was a problem.

Most importantly, Ni Quan is not here now. Although Ni Quan behaves improperly, he still has the basic sense of reason. This is the time to take advantage of the situation.

He could also fool them and make them think that he was closely connected with the Ye family... Wait, isn't this Sheng Hanyu's doing? Was he doing it on purpose?

But it doesn't matter, since everyone now assumes that Sheng Hanyu and the Ye family are on the same side.

Lu Mingye was speechless at this nested situation where he created a scandal and then had to have a relationship with the person whose scandal he was having a scandal with.

“Alright, let’s leave the matter of Ninth Concubine for now. As for Seventh Concubine, she’s most worried about Lu Dongli. If Lu Dongli runs into trouble, or if he manages to take control of the business from her, then that’s when we should make our move. In that case, we should actually take a strategy of praising him to death,” Lu Mingye continued.

He's right. Lu Dongli is someone who wants to make a name for himself. Once he's separated from the cunning Seventh Concubine, he'll have an opportunity to take advantage of her.

"We'll discuss this later, depending on the timing. Right now, the most important thing is to be satisfied with the final outcome for Sixth Concubine."

"You must have seen the notice. The Lu family went to great lengths to avoid including the specific location in the notice."

Lu Mingye was referring to the report on the shooting incident, which had been released a couple of days ago and naturally caused a huge uproar, with all sorts of opinions being expressed.

Because of the strict gun control regulations, this is big news.

However, in order to protect the victim's privacy, it was not specified who was shot, so now there are all sorts of guesses online.

Gangland feuds, international conspiracies, family feuds...

They've all come out.

I have to say, the last one is actually quite close to the truth.

Actually, if it had been clearly stated that it was Sheng Hanyu, people wouldn't have made so many speculations.

Sometimes a good reputation is useful.

"They were all detained and then went through the trial process. Also, I have a question: did your side also use any resources?"
